Chapter 358
Episode 358
“…The uproar is no ordinary uproar.”
The search and seizure was like that.
I didn’t even expect to find a conscientious company in this world these days.
In addition, Meiji has long been a company with a lot of noise due to aggressive investment mergers.
What surprised Lee Ji-won was that he ran away with the most essential information.
That’s from Chairman Schubert himself, the CEO of Mage and the developer of Fate.
Anyone could notice.
“It looks like there’s a corner where you can get stabbed.”
So it was natural to be worried. So what happens to Fate?
The article stated that not only Fate’s server records but even the artificial intelligence Blossom were subject to investigation.
This is probably due to the safety issues with Fate that have been constantly raised and encourage overindulgence.
Under normal circumstances, it would not have been strange for the Fate server to be turned off immediately.
Jiwon Lee shrugged his shoulders.
‘Should I at least thank Schubert?’
However, thanks to Schubert running away with Blossom and all the equipment needed to run Fate, Fate was still providing services.
I swiped my finger to scroll down. Lee Ji-won read the rest of the articles.
The Meiji stock price plummeted, etc. The price of Fate Gold has fallen. In any case, the bad news was a situation where all the bad news overlapped.
“CEO Carla is also under investigation….”
Buck buck.
Is it because I turned my head? My mind feels itchy.
“You said you wanted to play games comfortably, but why are there so many interruptions?”
As if the Gourmet King wasn’t enough, it was now a mess in real life as well. To be honest, Lee Ji-won was not impressed by the current situation.
“Well, it’s none of my business, but…”
I don’t own mage stocks, and the profits I’ve made from Fate have been too much to be excited about the Fate Gold market price.
To put it bluntly, I had enough money in my account to live in luxury for the rest of my life. But Lee Ji-won made a promise to herself.
“You have to keep your promise.”
Since I enjoyed Fate more easily than others, I will see to the true end.
Since I obtained the fraudulent job of Heavenly Gourmet, I will accomplish all the tasks given to Heavenly Gourmet!
So, what Jiwon Lee would do was decided.
sparkle!
Eyes shining with motivation.
‘I see the end of Fate before the mage closes the door.’
It’s the end of fate.
Honestly, I couldn’t guess.
To put it bluntly, isn’t it possible that other planets and continents may exist even if we leave Fate World?
But I knew for sure who the final boss was. Now is the time to do what we can.
Lee Ji-won began to picture the battlefield in his head.
“Let’s take this opportunity to uproot the roots.”
As the situation was situational, it could not be put off any longer.
Yes, as the Gourmet King advised, it was necessary to take risks.
Another being and a white mask that serves him. The time has come to drive them out of the Arba Continent.

Blossom followed X’s footsteps. I followed X and set foot on the Arba continent.
The Arba Continent was noisier than the Danse Continent.
“Beginner looking for a party! “Connection time is good.”
“Look at the leather armor. It has lower defense power than store items, but is much cheaper. “Get an armor set that can be used up to level 10 for 1 gold!”
Why are you screaming?
I wanted to get a glimpse of his intentions, but I couldn’t see them. Just like X, I couldn’t get a glimpse into their inner thoughts.
Blossom had a headache.
‘…I don’t know.’
A vague memory emerged from my dizzy mind.
‘This happened in the past too.’
Among the dolls where everything was clearly visible, there was one doll whose insides could not be seen.
The doll blocked my path several times.
Every time, Blossom would close her eyes tightly because her head hurt. Because I didn’t want to think deeply.
Worries and questions only made things difficult for her.
[Reconstructing the worldview.]
When I opened my eyes to an unknown sound, a new world would unfold. It seemed like I had reached my limit this time too.
Parr.
Blossom slowly closed her eyes. I thought about forgetting everything and going back to a quiet place, but…
I still had lingering feelings.
Blossom slowly opened her eyes.
‘…If I watch a little longer, will I be able to understand the intention?’
X.
And I wanted to watch these invisible people a little more.
As you can see, two conflicting desires were colliding inside Blossom.
No one could guess how long this tightrope walk would last.

Ruyan Royal Palace.
White Mask knelt down and cried.
“Father!”
Creation and destruction.
I prayed to the ‘other being’ who was the beginning and the end.
Thanks to consuming the Demon King Kaimus, the power of the White Mask became even stronger.
He was able to communicate with other beings more delicately than before.
“Show my child the way.”
Everything was according to the father’s will. In other words, if the father did not respond, there was nothing the White Mask could do.
What’s more, the means to encourage my father’s decision were always blocked.
“Please give us a path forward!”
The earnest prayers did not stop.
Did that sincerity reach you? At some point, White Mask could feel his father’s energy.
“…!”
It was a vivid energy different from before. I even had the illusion that my father had set foot on this continent.
Twenty twenty.
White Mask was clearly excited. Tentacles wriggled from his body, which rarely showed emotion.
The white mask coolly shook its head.
If my father really answered the call and came to the continent…
“We will need a grand festival for him.”
This was not the time to stay still like this. Although it is late, we must prepare for the festival as quickly as possible.
The white mask took action.
“That remote land looks good as an appetizer.”
*
“Good.”
X connected to Fate with solemn determination.
As I was prepared for a decisive battle with the White Mask, I couldn’t relax my nerves even for a moment.
X first contacted Sioras, who had joined the Xernis army. I wrote down my thoughts on parchment and sent it to them.
The reply came back immediately.
“You were thinking the same thing.”
A battle that annihilates the enemy, not passive defense!
Sioras Ligliant.
And the descendants of those related to the Gourmet King had a deep grudge against other beings.
Now that the opportunity had come to resolve the long-standing grudge that had been going on since the Kingdom of Arba, they showed no signs of fear.
“Not to mention our brave Xernis army.”
X then sent a whisper to Asus.
Asus was currently staying in the eastern part of the Arba continent.
The exploration of the disconnected continent was completed early in order to welcome reinforcements from the eastern continent.
Asus was quick to notice.
-Yes, things are going in an unusual way. Even here, on the other side of the world, there is a lot of trash talk about Meiji?
The scale of conspiracy theories is not normal. Our sponsor, the oil prince, also said something.
The Asus conspiracy theory was absurd. Normally, I would have let it go to one ear.
But because of the circumstances, I couldn’t just ignore it. I just felt uneasy.
“Speaking of such nonsense.”
In any case, it was not the time for a leisurely culinary tour. But you can’t neglect training either.
Munch!
X started eating familiar ingredients as a habit.
Swish!
At the same time, he ran across the land using the Chukji method.
‘For now, let’s join the Xernis army.’
X gained a lot from the Hell Corps quest.
X opened the status window to check the growth and distribute bonus points.

Ryeo “I caught it.”
The true nature that has been hidden all this time!
X let out his suppressed desires through his purple cone hat.
The results of monster-monopolization, which gave up any chance of coexistence, were shown in the level.
After passing level 800, leveling up became several times more difficult.
It felt like the first time I had leveled up this much in a short period of time since I was trying to become a mage ranker.
‘There is no significant change in the stats.’
There has been great progress in gastronomy.
Heavenly Cooking (88%)
Heavenly cooking mastery is approaching 90%!
It was all thanks to X’s steady hard work and the Diary of a Gourmet King.
After referring to the Gourmet King’s diary and engraving it in my mind, my heavenly cooking skill increased noticeably.
“…He seems like a nice person.”
Is it because I learned various details about the Gourmet King?
X was a person whose prejudice against the king of gourmet food was slowly disappearing.
My thoughts never changed just because I helped with my training.
‘I thought about that person again.’
Shaking my head.
X shook his head and this time looked at the inventory.
-Hell’s Contract (Legendary)
A spell book filled with magic that leads to the gates of Hell. It cannot be used by anyone other than a qualified person.
The result of paying thousands of seals.
It could be said to be a kind of access card given to X, who took over the Hell Vault.
From now on, through this contract, I could freely enter and exit the Hell Corps’ vault.
‘There is no such safe slush fund warehouse in the world.’
Without forgetting the impure thoughts.
Lastly, X looked at the deceased’s legacy that he had received as compensation.
-Four-leaf clover with a ghost (legend)
A four-leaf clover owned by the warrior of the dead. It took effect once and a leaf fell off.
Special Effect: Forces the user’s commands to be carried out regardless of the target’s level or race status. However, it can only be used once on the same target.
(Remaining number of uses: 3)
Legendary level consumable item!
It could be said to be an even more fraudulent item than the Mangeun Chain received in Heaven.
The effect of making the target obey absolutely. X was already excited at the thought of eating it raw.
“…Wouldn’t it be eaten by other beings too?”
If it were effective, there would be no need to move the Xernis Allied Forces. Anyway, I felt good because I got a very useful item.
“Even if I can’t do it, the white mask will work.”
Chukjibeop on the way to mastery! X ran north faster than the wind at a light pace.

Same time.
There was a commotion in Akarusted.
“They’re coming! But this time there are too many?!”
Gear pattern.
War Machine’s scout shouted.
War Machine guild members, including Resorcerer, quickly entered a defensive posture.
Residents of Akarusted also quickly evacuated.
“Come in quickly!”
“thank you. But there’s a person behind there…”
“A person? That can’t be possible. Please evacuate first.”
Given the situation, the residents of Akarusted did not venture far from the village.
Still, you never know. The man guarding the gate ran out to check.
The Resorcerer turned his gaze towards the slope.
…Oh no.
Soon she shouted in an urgent voice.
“Close the gate! And find the guy who just came in! “If you find it, kill it as soon as you find it. That’s not a person!”
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
