Chapter 109: The Birth of the Fast Eater Religion

“Then, how about this?”

“Chwiiik, what is it?” The Orc Chieftain asked as he looked at Minhyuk curiously.

“You should help me farm!”

“Chwiiik, chwiiik??Ah... Suddenly, I feel that my body is aching.?Chwiiik...”

“Chwiiik. I suddenly feel dizzy...?Chwiiik. I’m actually anemic.”

‘...Wow,’?Minhyuk thought.

Lazy orcs! All of them suddenly pretended that they were sick and goofed around after happily eating their meals. They were just all too lazy to move. It seemed like they were telling Minhyuk:?We’re naturally too lazy to move after we’ve eaten!

However, Minhyuk had expected this to happen to some extent so he shrugged, “Ha... It can’t be helped then. I was thinking of making something for you again after I have finished feeding all the other monsters. This time, I even wanted to let you taste something that’s more delicious than that beef, but...”

“Chwiiik...? I, I’m suddenly filled with energy. Human…..!”

“Chwiiik? My dizzy head suddenly cleared up. My anemia is gone!”

“Chwiiik, chwiiik!”

Minhyuk chuckled at their antics. They had already eaten Minhyuk’s food and were not feeling hungry at all. However, just because they were full and did not need to eat for quite some time, it did not mean that they would not want to eat something delicious. Furthermore, once Minhyuk left this dungeon, there was a possibility that the orcs would never be able to eat his dishes anymore.

‘We may not be able to eat delicious food again until we die!’

This was also the reason why they wanted to eat even more delicious food while they could

“Chwiiiiiiiiiik. What should we do? Human!”

“Hmmmm… Let me see… You should fetch some water and water the seeds!”

Minhyuk was aware that orcs were not that bright! So, Minhyuk planned to let them handle the simplest task: watering the plants.

“Chwiiiik, but human,?chwiiik. We,?chwiiiik, don’t have any bucket to use.”

“...”

Minhyuk was silent. He truly felt that he had run into some trouble.

“Chwiik, we haven’t used the buckets since 50 years ago, so they’re all rusty and broken.”

“Oh! So you guys have buckets? What about pickaxes and hoes?”

“Chwiiik, we have them.”

“Bring all of them here!”

“Chwiiik? Okay.”

The Orc Chieftain and the orcs moved quickly as they thought,?‘Chwiiik. He said that he had to feed all the other monsters before he would feed us. Chwiiiik. I want to eat... Chwiiik. Delicious food!’

All of them rushed to bring a variety of things, including buckets, hoes and pickaxes. Then, Minhyuk triggered his repair skill on a bucket in front of him.

“Repair!”

[You have perfectly repaired the bucket.]

[The artifact’s durability has greatly increased.]

[The artifact won’t rust easily.]

[The bucket can now hold more water.]

“Repair!”

[You have perfectly repaired the bucket.]

[The artifact’s durability has greatly increased.]

[The artifact won’t rust easily.]

[The bucket can now hold more water.]

[You have gained 1 DEX.]

Minhyuk was hitting two birds with one stone! He was able to get the orcs to help him and he even increased his blacksmithing proficiency and DEX. He said, “Get some water now. We need to finish quickly so we can eat faster. Those who don’t work won’t get anything to eat!”

“Chwiiiik.?Let’s go!!?Chwiiik, chwiiiik!”

The orcs began to move to gather water and sprinkle it on the plants.

‘Fufufufu. Alright. We can collect the ingredients faster this way.’

Minhyuk was doing something that no one else had ever thought of. Doing a quest alone? No, what was more amazing was getting help from those special monsters! ?With their help, his speed would definitely increase and his workload would be a bit lighter. Just then, a notification rang.

[You have gained 1 CHA.]

‘Oh?’

Charisma (CHA) was actually a stat that could only be increased by high-leveled players. This was because CHA was related to command, leadership and influence. To be honest, it was very difficult to raise this stat at Minhyuk’s level. High CHA would allow a player to garner loyalty and would increase the chances of the player summoning monsters, soldiers or other people in the future.

Just like that, Minhyuk repaired everything in front of him. “Repair!”

[You have perfectly repaired the pickaxe.]

[The artifact’s durability has greatly increased.]

[The artifact won’t rust easily.]

[...perfectly repaired the pickaxe.]

After finishing the repairs, Minhyuk prowled to look for his next targets. This time, it was the ogres! Just when he was about to move, an orc fell over after running excitedly. Minhyuk quickly reached out towards its knees and wrapped it with bandages.

“Bandage!”

[The bandage has been wrapped perfectly.]

[You have received an additional 5% injury recovery.]

[The recovery time has become faster.]

“Ch, chwiiiik. H, human...” The orc said, overcome with emotions.

Minhyuk placed his hand on the orc’s shoulder as he thought,?‘Hurry up and finish your work so I can eat my food. This orc bastard!’

However, what came out of his mouth was something completely different. Minhyuk smiled gently, “Come on, let’s finish our work quickly so we can eat something delicious!”

Pat, pat━

Minhyuk patted the orc as he stood up to continue on his way. He was truly someone that was shameless and cunning.

“Chwiiiik. I’ll work hard!?Chwiiik!” The orc said emotionally, as it ran back with two buckets in its hands!

[You have gained 1 CHA.]

“Teehee,” Minhyuk giggled as he approached the ogres. He went to the leader of the ogres, the Twin-Headed Ogre to ask about their preferences! That was when he learned that ogres were omnivorous, completely unlike the orcs. Anyway, it was better to feed them properly. Right? So, Minhyuk grilled beef on his pan.

Sizzle!

The wonderful and rhythmic sizzling came from his pan. Not long after, a beautifully done ribeye steak and chuck flap was done! The Twin-Headed Ogre looked curiously at the food that he had never seen before.

“Grrr. I’m hungry.?Grrr...”

“Grrr. Is that delicious?”

The Twin-Headed Ogre’s eyes were transfixed on the beef that was lying quietly on the pan!

“Beef won’t taste good if it’s overcooked. Here, try it!” Minhyuk said as he dipped the beef in salt and held it out for the Twin-Headed Ogre to taste. One of the ogre’s heads hesitated but still decided to put it in its mouth since it could not resist its growling stomach any longer. Then...

The ogre looked at the pan. Then, at Minhyuk. Then at the pan again. And at Minhyuk again. It kept on looking at Minhyuk and the pan alternately before saying, “Grr... It’s really delicious.?Grrr!”

The Twin-Headed Ogre was in awe.

“Beef is always right! Do you agree?”

“I agree! Delicious,?chew, chew!” The Twin-Headed Ogre said as he quickly took over the pan and chomped on the beef that was on it! Then, notifications rang for Minhyuk to hear.

[You have fed the Twin-Headed Ogre.]

[The Twin-Headed Ogre is really satisfied with the meal. You will receive better rewards.]

[You have acquired 1,823,151 gold.]

[You have acquired Twin-Headed Ogre’s Gauntlets.]

[You have acquired Twin-Headed Ogre’s Blood.]

[You have acquired Twin-Headed Ogre’s Hard Leather.]

[You have leveled up.]

[You have leveled up.]

[You have leveled up.]

[You have leveled up.]

[You have leveled up.]

[You have leveled up.]

[You have leveled up.]

[You have leveled up.]

[...leveled up.]

Minhyuk’s level had increased by 15! And just like he had expected, his rewards were also better. Minhyuk quickly checked the Twin-Headed Ogre’s gauntlets.

(Twin-Headed Ogre’s Gauntlets)

Class: Epic

Requirements: Hand-to-hand combat, 700 STR, 500 STM

Durability: 10,000 / 10,000

Attack Power: 266

20% increase in STR.

?Skill: Ogre’s Rage

It was another epic artifact! However, it was an artifact that Minhyuk could not equip, so he decided that he would just sell it and buy delicious food with the money that he would get from it.

‘There’s a lot of miscellaneous items!’?Minhyuk thought. He had collected plenty of artifacts over the course of his stay in the game and the only thing that he could think about what he should do with them was to…?sell, sell, sell!? Then, Minhyuk looked at the Twin-Headed Ogre’s Blood! This was an artifact material that could only be gathered from the Twin-Headed Ogre. The probability of ever getting this item as a drop was completely abysmal. Minhyuk quickly fed the rest of the ogres. He sat them in front of the fire and gave them meat to eat! It was a sight to behold.

[You have fed an ogre.]

[The ogre is really satisfied with the meal. You will receive better rewards.]

[You have acquired 5,141 gold.]

[You have acquired Ogre’s Energy Belt.]

[You have acquired Ogre’s Blood.]

[You have leveled up.]

[You have leveled up.]

[You have acquired the ingredient: Soybean Stew.]

‘As expected!’

When the percentage of the fullness stat increased, another ingredient was acquired. Minhyuk looked at the satisfied smiles on the ogres' faces. He asked, “By any chance, can you help me dig in the cliffs and get some nutritional supplements?”

“Grrr! You want us to do that?”

“We are ogres! Ogres!” The Twin-Headed Ogre said, snorting unhappily. They were far more arrogant than the orcs earlier. It seemed that they were truly unwilling to do crude work like digging up the cliffs.

“How can we dig the cliffs with pickaxes on our hands?!”

Then, Minhyuk sighed, “I wanted to give you another meat party after I finished feeding all the other monsters... And this time, the meat would be more delicious… but…”

“Grrr?!”

“Grrgrr?!?A much tastier part of the meat?!”

The Twin-Headed Ogre along with the rest of the ogres reacted excitedly.

“But, it hurts our pride to do crude work and dig up the cliffs,?grr!”

“Grrr. That’s right!”

It seemed that they were still sensitive about their pride. For a moment, Minhyuk did not know what he would do with them. He decided to take a chance, “Sigh... The truth is, this is not just about feeding you delicious food, but saving your monster friends in Monster Paradise.”

The ogres were extremely conflicted! He had said it as a shot in the dark. Then, they said, “We would do anything to help them!”

“Grrr.?Of course we would help them, it’s not because we wanted to eat meat!”

“This is not because we wanted to eat meat!”

The ogres quickly made an excuse for themselves.

[You have gained 1 CHA.]

Then, the ogres quickly took the pickaxes and went to the cliffs to start digging.

Bang!

Baang!

After all, this was a game. A game would definitely be based on a system. The ogres that had no mining skills or DEX were much slower than Minhyuk. However, even if it were ordinary, they were still bound to mine something as long as they kept at it. What more if it were powerful ogres? Adding on the fact that there were 30 of those ogres? It would not matter if they did not have the stat or the skill, they would still be able to mine quickly. They would definitely be faster than Minhyuk who was doing it alone!

Just like that, Minhyuk continued to go around and seduce the monsters into labor by feeding them.

“Let’s cheer up a little more. We’ll be able to eat delicious food soon!”

“Chwiiiiik.?I will eat...!?Chwiiik.?Delicious food!”

“Eat! Eat! Eat!”

Everyone became a slave for food and moved under the command of Minhyuk. Minhyuk had more than four things to do alone. He had to water the plants, dig the cliffs, plow the fields, plant the seeds, cook the food, and so on. With all of those things being handled by the monsters, the time it took to finish those jobs was bound to be shorter. He was able to focus on filling the fullness quickly.

Minhyuk secretly checked the information about the monster egg.

(Monster Egg)

Rank: Unique

Race: Pet

Description: According to the fullness, the monster egg is now ranked Unique.

The monster egg had become unique-ranked! The most common named monsters in the field were rare monsters. The ones above that were unique monsters! However, unique monsters could exert a huge amount of strength. What would happen if Minhyuk cooked that unique monster egg in his frying pan?

‘Kyaa!’

Minhyuk, who even thought of eating a pet, was the true epitome of a foodie! Meanwhile, he finally realized that he was running out of the seeds that he initially brought. He thought,?‘There’s a way to get a lot of seeds in a short period of time. Hoho.’

Chronicle mentioned that the monsters residing in the Monster Paradise would not be able to get out of this place. However, that did not mean that other monsters would not be able to come inside this place.
