Leveling Up through Eating-Chapter 9.2: Fullness System

Chapter 9.2 – Fullness System

Translator: ChubbyCheeks

Minhyuk was impressed with the spicy braised chicken he made.

Spicy braised chicken was a dish that you can definitely enjoy anytime, anywhere. With it’s sweet and spicy flavor, there’s nothing much better than eating spicy braised chicken with rice. When the well-seasoned potato was mashed with rice, it would definitely put a smile on anyone’s face.

Minhyuk gulped down his spicy braised chicken completely, until the bowl was spick and span.

He felt a bit sad for himself. [1]

Just then, Instructor Roina approached him.

“Hmm… Are you busy?”

“No. I’m not busy!”

She was carrying a cloth bag again.

What will it be this time?

When she unwrapped the cloth what appeared was none other than… Rice!

Minhyuk’s hands shook.

It’s the crystallization of carbohydrates!

It was considered to be the mortal enemy of his weight. [2]

But not right now!

Minhyuk did not eat a single egg just for this moment.

I’ve already thought of asking for rice from Roina before!

“Just in case. I’m giving you this. Can you tell me about Instructor Valen?”

“Sure!”

“Really?”

“Yes! I also remember how many spoons and chopsticks there are in Instructor Valen’s house!”

Minhyuk realized that things were already going according to his plans.

“You’ve been to his house?!”

“Of course!”

“How is his state of living?”

Minhyuk told her everything one by one. He even told her how he received the Sword of Rebellion.

The news broke Roina’s heart.

‘That’s right… He has always lived a righteous life…’

She felt pity for him, however, soon after her eyes flashed.

Perhaps this is my chance!

Roina handed the rice over to Minhyuk.

[Roina’s favorability has increased.]

“Thank you for the food. Instructor! Wait, Instructor.”

“Yeah?”

“Please don’t be wary.”

The moment he said those words, Minhyuk had already realized his plan in full.

“If you have something you want to tell him, I can pass on a letter to him but in return you have to give me ingredients!”

Give and take.

Roina’s face brightened when she heard him. Minhyuk, on the other hand, had an expression like he knew this would happen.

‘Hehe… It doesn’t even take that long to go there.’

He could go there, deliver Roina’s letters then go and get his groceries.

Roina would be happy and Minhyuk would be happy too.

Isn’t this such a good thing?

“W… Would you really do that?!”

“Yeah!”

Ring!

[Quest: Tell Valen what Roina hopes for.]

Rank: E

Limit: To and from the Scarecrow Training Grounds.

Rewards: Food Ingredients.

Penalty for Failure: Roina’s favorability will decrease.

Description: Instructor Roina agreed to your direct offer which led to a quest being triggered.

At the present, the lowest known rank of a quest was E and the highest known rank was S.

Quests could also be triggered when an NPC and a user has agreed to a promise or an offer. Quests can only be triggered through well-defined factors.

It was nothing unusual. And Minhyuk definitely knew about this.

This quest can only be triggered if the user was close to Instructor Valen and if he could go back and forth from the training grounds.

He saw her nodding her head then she turned around and went back to her place.

It seemed like she was pondering about something while Minhyuk tried to cook what he has saved so far.

I have always wanted to eat this dish for a long time now.

The dish he was thinking about was Soy Sauce Egg Rice. [3]

Soy sauce egg rice.

This was a dish that you would want to eat when you’re hungry and there’s no food at home or when you crave for it.

He washed the rice first before cooking it.

He has already memorized all of the recipes that he could find on the internet. This was because Minhyuk already prepared himself to eat soy sauce egg rice as soon as he possibly could.

After the rice was done, he took out his frying pan, greased it with oil and he waited until it heated up. Once the pan was heated enough, he adjusted the heat to the weakest fire.

He then took out his secret weapon.

The egg produced by the chicken that dropped from golden chicken!

Minhyuk actually saw it lay an egg… It suddenly popped out of the inventory, layed an egg then went back in the inventory by itself.

Sizzle!

He could hear the sizzle when he cracked an egg and dropped it on the frying pan.

Footnotes

[1] He definitely felt sad bc he already finished the dish and he has no more ingredients. I’m betting on it!!!

[2] For a moment I thought they were talking abt killing intent…lol but it just says that it’s the enemy of our weights… Like if we eat lots of this then boom weight gain.

[3] Soy sauce egg rice is just steamed rice + fried egg on top then 2tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp sesame oil. We tried this before, and it’s delicious. You can also add sesame seeds on top.

TL’s corner…

I’m guessing the would be another torture for my stomach… Thank goodness the ingredients are easy to find… I might fix myself a bowl before TLing the next one.
