Solo Eating to Overpowered Chapter 12

Episode 12

: Rebellion!

As of now, asking a user to take away the throne is something that cannot even be dreamed of. Even though users are becoming stronger at a rapid rate, the original owners of Fate World are NPCs.

‘Just looking at the revealed NPCs, their level is over 700.’

Level 700!

That was the level of the leader of the Holy Knights of Arba Kingdom. The time for users to reach level 700 will be over 3 years at best.

Will the NPCs stay still in the meantime?

They also become stronger through their own activities.

‘Damn, this is a quest full of malice.’

How many years on earth is this a quest?!

My heart suddenly felt tight.

It feels like I have dozens of sweet potatoes shoved down my throat. If he could turn back time,

‘Why are you entrusting such an important task to me?’

No matter how you look at him, he can only be seen as having no sense of responsibility.

But I can’t stay angry forever.

X suppressed his anger and thought calmly.

‘…Still, the possibility may not be completely gone.’

The legend of the Gourmet King who ruled the world with tremendous power.

And X gained his powers.

X knew full well that the legend was not an exaggeration.

‘It’s still enough of a scam… but I still haven’t figured out everything about the power of the Heavenly Gourmet. If you utilize all that power, it might not be a very impossible quest, right?’

Kalon looked puzzled as X stayed quiet for quite some time.

he asked X.

“Is there something you’re worried about?”

When asked, X looked straight into Kalon’s face.

‘It was said that the Gourmet King’s recipes were scattered throughout the Fate World. The only way to catch up with the Gourmet King’s incredible power is to find his recipes.’

Make and eat a heavenly dish using that recipe. If so, given the nature of my job as a Heavenly Gourmet, I would be able to match his strength to some extent.

Soon X spoke with a serious face.

“Mr. Calon, I have something to tell you.”

“Something? “Tell me.”

“Can you believe that I am the heir to the King of Gourmet?”

“…What kind of successor? “What on earth does that mean!”

Jump up!

To him who got up from his seat, X explained everything that had happened. But naturally, Kalon could not completely trust X’s words.

Even X could understand that.

Kalon seemed to have made up his mind and headed to the kitchen.

“Whether what you say is true or false, this is not something that can be easily overlooked. So you will have to prove to me that it is true.”

“How do you mean?”

“Hundreds of years ago, my great-grandfather served a home-cooked meal to the king of gourmets. At that time, the King of Gourmet said something after tasting my great-grandfather’s cooking. “If you are truly his successor, you can probably guess to some extent.”

Crack! Kalon immediately got busy making fun of the knife and the pan.

Soon the ingredients dancing in his hands disappeared into the pot.

Before long, a warm smell came from the pot.

“Okay, the food is ready.”

When I opened the salty pot, a milk-colored stew appeared.

It was a vegetable stew with nothing special, not even the usual meat.

“I will eat it gratefully.”

X carefully lifted the spoon.

I scooped up a generous spoonful of stew and put it into my mouth.

Then I focused on the notification.

[Your heavenly sense of taste has discovered the taste hidden in the ‘Stew of Memories’!]

[The years contained in the Stew of Memories are absorbed into your body!]

[You have acquired the unique skill ‘Kalsumar’s Shield Skill’!]

‘It’s called a skill . ? Kalsumar’s shield art?’

X wanted to check right away, but Kalon’s eyes were stinging right now. X spoke to Kalon, relying as much as he could on his heavenly sense of taste.

“Is your great-grandfather’s name Kalsumar?”

“…Now how do you do that?”

“As expected, it was like that. Gourmet King and Kalsumar. “It reminded me of the short and long years that the two of us had been together.”

Since when did the tongue become this long?

Even X was surprised by his speaking skills.

However, Kalon seemed dozens of times more surprised than X.

Wow! He held X’s hand, shedding tears of joy.

“How can this happen… Are you really his successor? thank god. I’m really glad. “I’m so lucky that I don’t have any regrets even if I die like this!”

“Haha, I’m already glad.”

The truth about the Gourmet King and the Kingdom of Arba!

And recipes from gourmet kings scattered all over the world!

X’s hardships began in earnest from now on.

*

X was waiting for Calon’s restaurant to open.

I was scolded last night for clearing up his thoughts.

“But thanks to you, I gained a lot.”

X opened the status window with a happy smile.

Name

:

_

_

_

_

_

_

_

_

_ In the meantime, his abilities increased tremendously.

The best chef in Narville.

It was thanks to Kalon’s cooking skills.

“Try this too. “Okay, how about this?”

“Hehe, this is the dish I’m most confident in!”

“Yeah, it’s delicious, right? “It’s bound to be delicious!”

Kalon was a man who deeply respected the Gourmet King. Because of this, I had a strong desire to be recognized by my successor, X, who had the same heavenly sense of taste as the Gourmet King.

He served food to X all night long.

“I can’t refuse 3 gold coins per plate for free.”

X ate food all night, thinking, ‘What kind of rice cake is this?’

The frenzied binge-eating ended after Kalon, exhausted, fainted and fell into sleep.

X was waiting for the store to open to check on Kalon’s condition and hear about the gourmet king’s recipe. This time, X checked the skill window.

Kalsumar Shield Art (Master): You have completely mastered the shield technique of Kalsumar, the master of shield arts. Damage blocked by shields is increased by 30%.

When attacking an enemy with a shield, the chance of inflicting the ‘stun’ status ailment increases by 50%. It also deals damage directly proportional to the shield’s ‘defense’.

I burst out laughing at the deceptive effect.

“If the Holy Knights see it, they won’t be crying and making an uproar, right?”

A paladin class that specializes in shields.

Paladins also learned the skill of attacking enemies with shields.

However, there has never been a skill as effective as Kalsumar’s shield technique. Among the skills revealed to date, there were no shield skills that could be compared to Kalsumar’s shield technique.

X had acquired such an absurd skill.

‘As expected, special foods have more profound effects.’

Ilsungryori’s venison skewers made with heavenly cuisine.

And vegetable stew filled with memories of Kalsumar.

After eating those two foods, I became confident.

That’s why I had to find the recipe of the king of gourmet food.

After some time had passed, the door to the restaurant opened.

Kalon was delighted to see X.

“Were you waiting? “Come in!”

Kalon, the epitome of eccentricity!

There were few users who didn’t know him, a kind of celebrity.

Because of this, users near the restaurant were shocked.

“…Hey, is that Calon?”

“Yes, he’s smiling, but his face is Kalon.”

“Crazy, this is the first time I’ve seen Kalon greet a guest like that.”

“…Wait a minute, isn’t that the person who was at the general store at that time?”

From Rubin to Kalon?

Some people who recognized him reacted with absurdity, but X had disappeared into the restaurant. X was able to hear about the Gourmet King’s recipe from Calon.

“Actually, I haven’t mastered his recipe perfectly. “I knew the key ingredients, but it was too difficult to handle them with my abilities.”

“okay. So what is the key ingredient?”

“That’s cave bear meat.”

Cave bear!

He was the strongest among the bears living in the cold northern region. It is a named monster on a different level from regular monsters and could be seen as a type of field boss.

X bit his lip.

‘I guess he’s the one for whom my hunting methods don’t work.’

A hunting method that causes status abnormalities and beats mercilessly with a powerful preemptive attack! However, this method cannot be used against named monsters. Because named monsters have resistance to status abnormalities.

‘If we fight officially, I’m at a much disadvantage.’

Moreover, the cave bear’s level easily exceeds 50.

Even though X was level 25 and had overwhelming stats, he couldn’t deal with the cave bear right now. Tuk-tuk. Kalon tapped X on the shoulder.

“X, there’s no need to think too hastily. I’m sure you can do it. “With your taste, you can definitely create a dish worthy of a cave bear!”

Does this mean that you have to complete the gourmet king’s recipe with just the hint of cave bear meat? X felt deeply frustrated. Kalon was overestimating himself.

‘We can’t break up like this. ‘We have to get something more!’

X knows his fractions well.

I don’t know how to play games, but my cooking skills and sense are terrible! It was impossible for X to complete the Gourmet King’s recipe on his own.

X opened his mouth in a desperate voice.

“No, Senior Kalon. I still have a long way to go. Honestly, even if I could get cave bear meat, I wouldn’t dare complete his recipe.”

“What, senior? LOL! “You are very humble.”

Kalon seemed to like being called senior. He thought deeply and headed to the kitchen. Then he came to X, carrying a bunch of things.

“Take it. “It will help.”

“What is all this?”

“My favorite cooking tool. And spices.”

Cooking tools and spices!

X accepted the gift given by Kalon.

I checked the floating information window.

X’s eyes widened.

‘…This must be really expensive, right?’

All cooking utensils were rare luxury goods. Moreover, among the spices, there were unique spices that cost hundreds of gold per bottle.

For now, X bowed his head.

“thank you! “I will write well.”

“Yes, it will be a great help.”

All Kalon knew was that cave bear meat was really the end. To be more precise, I tried cooking with cave bear meat in my own way, but it all failed.

Kalon added one favor to X.

“If you perfect the cave bear dish… can you let me taste it too? “I still have regrets about the cooker I’ve been chasing my whole life.”

Tiroling!

《Kalon’s Dream》

Kalon devoted his life to perfecting the recipe of the king of gourmets. However, his abilities were not enough to complete the Gourmet King’s recipe. But you have the ability to perfect the gourmet king’s recipe. Please make his dream come true.

Condition: Bear meat dish cooked according to the Gourmet King’s recipe 0/1

Difficulty: D

Reward: It was a similar reward to Kalon’s Restaurant VIP

Rubin’s request.

Moreover, it was obvious that building a trusting relationship with Kalon, who is a top chef and knows the king of gourmets well, would be of great help. X answered with a smile.

“of course. I will definitely complete the recipe.”

X said goodbye to Calon and left the restaurant. Northern cave bear. Even though I thought about completing the recipe later, a new goal was set.

‘I was planning on hunting in the south, but the north would be fine too.’

North and south of Narville.

The level of monsters that appeared was similar. However, the south was easier for general users to hunt. The climate in the south is relatively mild, but the climate in the north is by no means easy.

However, X was not an ordinary user.

“Considering that there is less competition, fire fox meat, and fire attribute items… it could be much better than hunting in the south. No, it’s much better, right?”

Level up quickly by monopolizing!

X’s eyes sparkled.

Munchkin that I eat all by myself
