Chapter 27
Episode 27:
A rising stem!
It wasn’t as good as the Green Fairy’s stem, but it seemed much sturdier than expected.
I thought it would be nice if it could be just enough to tie the ankles, but this would really increase its usability.
“Mana consumption is not a burden…”
X pictured the battle with War Machine in his head.
The most difficult rear enemies!
But what if a stem sprouting from the ground causes confusion?
It could be seen that X had a new move to steal their attention and time. It may be a nuisance now, but considering intelligence will continue to increase in the future, we could expect a more destructive effect than now.
‘I discovered possibility in a place I didn’t expect.’
Magic!
It was natural that his power was lower than that of wizards of the same level. However, it was sufficient to be usable in practice. That alone has tremendous utility value. X let out a chuckle.
“Of course, it’s a great help for hunting too!”
Wow!
The rising, dancing stems held tightly to the plants around them. Struggling! He tries hard to escape, but it seems that escaping the restraint effect is not easy. visor! X raised his sword and muttered.
“There are still 5 levels left until level 80.”
*
Beautiful appearance!
Excellent performance!
In the end, X, who reached level 80 in Plant Hell and wore the hawk’s golden claws, looked satisfied. Pang! The feeling of lightly shaking was amazing.
“Should I at least say thank you?”
Salad I hope you rest in peace.
X, who mumbled something he didn’t really mean, escaped from the plant hell.
After running for about half a day, you will reach the last village.
It was a village adjacent to the sea and was known as a resort for users.
X walked while adjusting his bow.
It was to get used to an unfamiliar bow.
‘Digging only one well is wasting precious stats.’
Basically, a heavenly gourmet with no proper combat skills!
However, there were stats that rose in a balanced way. X discovered various possibilities using swords, shields, bows, and magic. Now that I had discovered the possibility, it was time for hard work… no, it was time for effort.
‘First, let’s master the basic skills.’
Basic skills!
This refers to the basic attack skills such as ‘Swing with precision’ that X acquired first. As other professions gain main attack skills, the use of basic skills decreases significantly.
However, X did not have a main attack skill.
Therefore, I battled using only the basics until level 80.
X confirmed the proficiency of the skill.
[Passive Skill]
Swing Precisely (42%): I learned how to focus and attack the enemy. The hit rate of swings increases by 30%.
Precise Thrust (21%): Learn how to focus and stab your enemy’s vital points. Stab hit rate increases by 30%.
Precise Bowstring (9%): Focus and reduce the chance of missing the enemy. Arrow hit rate increases by 20%.
‘The rate of increase has definitely slowed down.’
Skill Master!
Mastering one skill is never easy.
As skill level increases, the effort required to increase skill level increases exponentially.
‘Whether you like it or not, you must master it.’
When you master a skill, new effects are unlocked.
However, it could be said that it was impossible to master general skills other than job skills that received proficiency bonuses. In reality, there were users who mastered their job skills, but there were no users who mastered general skills. Basic skills are also treated as normal skills.
“Well, let’s aim to be the first basic master.”
But there was nothing rough about X.
If you work hard, you will get tired of it!
Besides, there is no other way, is there?
As I said, X does not have a main attack skill.
At best, it’s the Kalsumar shield technique? However, I already mastered the Kalsumar shield technique the moment I learned it. There was no reason to use it unless absolutely necessary.
What effects will be unlocked once you master the basics?
X quickened his pace, thinking things that others would not dare to do.
How long did you walk?
Before I knew it, the salty smell of the sea reached my nose.
X muttered in a gloomy voice.
“…I knew it would be like this. Dead Man’s Beach is a mess.”
Cry!
The sound of laughter coming from everywhere!
A town overflowing with happiness and leisure!
X arrived in Lablina, a small town right in front of the Sea of Lovers.
X’s frown narrowed.
As you can see, this was a sea of lovers.
But what about Dead Man’s Beach?
What on earth did Kalon see?
“Is that guy’s eyes so dull that he saw something wrong?”
Grumble, grumble!
X expressed his dissatisfaction and looked around at Lavlina.
It was a scenery fit for a resort with more users than NPCs.
The white buildings of Lablina and the blue sea beyond the village went well together.
There were plenty of couples who got along well.
“Look over there, the sand is sparkling!”
“Haha, it’s true!”
“There are seagulls in the sky over there! “Isn’t it a seagull?”
“Haha, what’s important about seagulls? “What matters is that we are here together in this moment.”
“Aaaah! “Isn’t he so cool?”
The sandy beach is naturally shiny.
Birds usually fly around the beach.
What is it that makes such a fuss about how amazing it is?
X put aside his crying heart and opened his wallet.
“Please give me one of each type.”
“I guess you came with your friends?”
“no. “I came alone.”
Lablina’s specialty fruit drink.
After purchasing each type of drink, X sat down on the sandy beach.
Lovers were seen running around, fitting the name of the sea of lovers.
Gulp. X took a sip of his drink and looked around.
[Heavenly taste has discovered the hidden taste of ‘Crutz Juice’!]
[The refreshing juice of Crutz is absorbed into the body!]
[Maximum mana increases by 30 points!]
[Intelligence increases by 1 point!]
“Dead Man’s Beach.”
The location Kalon mentioned was right.
But what you see is a sea of lovers.
There were two possibilities.
‘There is a possibility that Kalon lied to me.’
X is a very suspicious man.
I think it’s natural to have doubts because I’ve been through it before. But Kalon is an NPC.
He who truly respects the Gourmet King has no reason to lie to X, the Gourmet King’s successor.
gulp!
[Heavenly taste has discovered the hidden taste of ‘Larange juice’!]
[Larange’s sweet juice is absorbed into the body!]
[Maximum stamina increases by 5 points!]
[Maximum mana increases by 20 points! ]
[Intelligence increases by 2 points!]
X, who finished the last drink in one shot, opened his mouth.
“Then there is an answer.”
Dead Man’s Beach is a hidden area.
This place only appears to those who meet special conditions!
When I thought about it that way, this scene and Kalon’s words made sense.
‘Didn’t Ligrian say he’s not a strange person?’
Moreover, considering Ligrien’s nickname of eccentric….
Perhaps X may have come to the right place on Dead Man’s Beach.
Of course there was a problem.
“…What should I do?”
How should that special condition be met?
It wasn’t easy to get lost.
X felt frustrated. It felt similar to when faced with cave bear meat.
But just like with the cave bear meat, I decided to do what I could.
X looked at the beach.
This time, instead of lovers running around, I saw fishermen.
X quenched his appetite.
“Okay, let’s find a way, even if it takes time.”
Increase your stats with fresh seafood!
X was determined to gain stats rather than time.
*
In Fate, experience points could be increased through various actions. Who would choose a blue-collar or non-mainstream job if you could only level up through combat?
“You really have a talent for drawing.”
“thank you. But compared to the elderly, we still have a long way to go.”
The Sea of Lovers or the Beach of the Dead!
It’s already been a week since X started fishing there.
Fishing, which was awkward at first, became quite familiar as my skill level increased.
‘Plus, my level has risen.’
Increases 1 level per week.
Considering X’s current level, it wasn’t a very bad achievement. Because I was a little behind other regular users. However, X has been leveling up at an incredible rate so far.
‘What’s the need to rush?’
Nevertheless, X was relaxed.
Take your time.
Considering X’s personality, this is impossible.
X also had a reason to take his time.
“Oops, another new guy!”
As soon as you lift the fishing rod, a new fish is caught.
Indeed, it was Fate with a vast world view. Of course, fish exist in reality.
“Oh, this is pretty big for Rainbow Quick, right? You also have talent. “I almost want to have you as my best disciple or son-in-law!”
Colorful. There were some really strange-looking fish.
After catching a large catch, X immediately took out his cooking utensils. It’s good to simply cook and eat it, but it’s even better to eat raw fish right after catching it.
Tiroling!
[Heavenly taste has discovered the hidden flavor of ‘Rainbow Quick’!]
[Rainbow Quick’s vitality is absorbed into the body!]
[Maximum stamina increases by 50 points!]
[Agility increases by 3 points!]
“Chuck tsk tsk “It’s delicious. Please try it too, teacher.”
X handed a plate of sashimi to the middle-aged fisherman next to him.
X shows favor first. It was said that it was an NPC with something to gain.
The middle-aged man waved his hand.
“I’m fine. Eating rainbow quick raw is nothing… and there’s something else amazing about eating it raw. “If I catch something today, I’ll show you a taste of it!”
“I’m looking forward to it!”
X was often rude to NPCs and took advantage of them.
The stats that could be raised like that could never be ignored.
Tsk tsk tsk! X, who swallowed raw fish, checked his stats.

The power of seafood, a new food ingredient!
All bonus points were invested in Haki, but the growth of other stats did not slow down.
The power of the ingredients gathered to combine with the spices was clearly great.
‘It’s not very useful, but there’s no harm in having it.’
New title: Fishing for Time.
It was a title given to those who fished for more than 100 hours.
It was a title that was useful if it was useful because it increased the probability of success in fishing, but not if it was not.
Fondant! X threw the fishing rod again.
Hahahoho.
I could hear the sounds of lovers in my ears, but I paid no attention.
Forgetting my impatience, I fished and waited for the right moment.
‘Because it’s worth it.’
The Gourmet King’s second recipe!
It would be frustrating to be in a situation where you can’t do anything, but X increased his experience and his stats significantly. I didn’t want to give up the enormous potential due to excessive impatience.
“come!”
The bite came again.
Sigh! X grabbed the fishing rod with all his might.
I had done this movement for hundreds of times, so I was starting to get the hang of it.
But the guy who took the bait was unusual.
The middle-aged man next to me stuttered.
“What kind of weird thing is that?”
How can a fish with only spines squirm?
However, the middle-aged man was not looking for nothing. It was clearly visible to X’s eyes as well.
A big spiny fish biting into a bait!
Flash! With eyes full of original greed.
X’s eyes returned when he saw the strange fish.
‘The strange Liglian who turned himself into an undead skeleton to wait for the Gourmet King… Anyone can tell that this is a fish related to Liglian, right?’
The bones of fish are thorns.
This bizarre fish could be seen as undead.
Also, I could guess that it was a message from the eccentric Liglian asking you to prove that you are the heir to the King of Gourmet. puck! Without hesitation, X punched the jumping guy. Wow! Then he started chewing on the thorns of the broken one.
‘Well, I guess I’ll lose some stamina.’
The thorns reduced my vitality, but I was able to endure it.
Even though I thought I couldn’t bear it, I had to endure it in order to go to Dead Man’s Beach and meet Liglian.
A notification soon occurred to X, who was burning with motivation.
[Entering the hidden location ‘Dead Man’s Beach’!]
“!”
At the same time, X’s vision turned black.
“…I came!”
Shoot! We had entered Dead Man’s Beach.
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
