Chapter 381
Episode 381:
There was a gourmet king in front of me.
‘…It must be an illusion, right?’
To be precise, the translucent Gourmet King was visible.
Is this a 5-star heavenly cooking effect? X could guess the effect right away.
If the shadow of the Gourmet King has helped you make heavenly dishes so far…
‘From now on, all you have to do is just comfortably eat the heavenly dishes prepared by the Gourmet King!’
I drank the kimchi soup first.
But that was a mistake.
“Your words are short, heir.”
The Gourmet King, who thought it was just a fantasy, speaks. And that too while making direct eye contact.
X was momentarily taken aback.
I couldn’t see any beggar in him. The eyes of the gourmet king, overflowing with firearms, were filled with an energy that could not be described as anything.
“sorry.”
“I didn’t show up just to hear an apology. Take a seat. “You must have had a lot of questions during this time, so it would be better to talk comfortably.”
These were truly kind words, but X was bound to become even more confused!
‘Are you really the king of gourmet food?’
X knows the Gourmet King’s quirky personality better than anyone else.
Even considering his personal circumstances, the poor treatment shown to him, his successor, was to the point where anyone would think it was excessive.
However, the Gourmet King in front of me is unfamiliar and friendly.
Grumble!
The Gourmet King first inspected the bonfire.
‘I need to start by teaching you how to control the fire, right?’ He muttered and added dry firewood to the bonfire.
His words continued.
“Looking at the ingredients, I guess you were planning on making a dish using scallops? Let’s see. If it’s a supplement like this, the recipe I made in the 17th session would be suitable.”
“…the recipe you made in the 17th episode?”
“okay. Where can you find a heavenly cooking recipe with outstanding results? Did you know that if you do it, it will be created? “All of the heavenly dishes you’ve made so far have been recipes I developed and developed.”
X discovers another secret. X nodded as if he finally understood.
‘The shadow of the Gourmet King didn’t appear for no reason.’
Moreover, seeing that it was mentioned that it was the 17th episode, it seemed like the friendly guy was the king of gourmets.
When he made that decision,
“Hey, if you really wanted to see the end of Fate, shouldn’t you have kindly let me know from the beginning? “I’ve suffered so much since the only food I’ve ever cooked is fried chicken…”
But he soon trailed off at the sight of the gourmet king smiling bitterly.
The Gourmet King looked at the red-hot pan and opened his mouth.
“Do you know, X? This Fate World is a worldview that is better balanced than it looks. As you know, it is a worldview created after dozens of trials and errors.”
Balance?
X also had a lot to say.
“Fuck you. Since there is a job called Heavenly Gourmet, balance control has completely failed. A job where your stats increase just by eating is a scam, right?”
Mumbling.
After speaking rapidly, X picked up a piece of homemade crab meat and ate it. If someone hears it, they’ll think they’re looking at someone else.
But it was something I had been thinking about ever since I first changed jobs to a heavenly gourmet job.
Sizzling.
Thinly sliced garlic is fried in heated oil. The Gourmet King, who cut his palm, responded.
“If you sell it like that, it makes me a little sad, doesn’t it?”
“…Well, there’s nothing to be disappointed about, right?”
How could a man be so weak-hearted? The Gourmet King noticed X’s eyes and sighed.
“I thought you figured it out, but you’re still mistaken.”
The Gourmet King began to explain the whole story.
Soon, X was so absorbed in his story that he even forgot to chew the crab meat in his mouth.
The explanation was simple.
“…Wasn’t that candy just regular candy?”
A strange candy that I received by giving away cheap rye bread to the Gourmet King.
The candy contained the ‘experience points’ accumulated by the Gourmet King while experiencing dozens of worldview resets!
Since X also had a brain, his thoughts reached out to the Gourmet King from the first episode.
“Then you were a master of ‘Heavenly Taste’ from the moment you acquired it?”
“It’s okay to guess.”
“…Huh. Then what about ‘Heavenly Capture’?”
“Didn’t you steal my diary? “At first, I couldn’t do anything properly, so I ended up throwing away a few pieces of meat raw.”
Heavenly Gourmet was not a balance-breaking job. The experience that the Gourmet King had stored in the candy destroyed the balance!
X swallowed deeply.
‘The Gourmet King passed on everything I didn’t have. I didn’t even know that and just got annoyed all the time…’
Anyway, I was glad I didn’t show up. X cleared his throat and asked the Gourmet King.
“Why are you so impatient? There was also a way to go slowly. Of course, it’s not like I can’t guess what he must have been feeling, but…”
The Gourmet King knows that he is an NPC. Therefore, X spoke cautiously.
Sizzling.
The Gourmet King answered, frying his scallops as if it was no big deal.
“It was because there was not enough time.”
“hour? What time?”
“The time she has left.”
It’s her.
The word came out of nowhere, but I guessed it.
“Are you talking about the Creator God?”
“that’s right. Blossom, to be exact.”
“…Blossom?”
As I searched my memory, I was able to recall it without difficulty.
The name of the artificial intelligence that controls Fate was Blossom. Anyway, why is the artificial intelligence suddenly….
X’s voice
suddenly became urgent.
“Wait a minute, then what are the other beings?”
The God of Creation is an artificial intelligence that governs Fate.
So what is the identity of the ‘other being’ that is similar to the Creator God?
“Delete System.”
“Delete system?”
“The other entity is a deletion system that is activated, or revived, by Blossom’s will. “The ‘black rain’ that is currently hitting the continent can also be seen as a different entity when viewed comprehensively.”
X was dumbfounded.
“Artificial intelligence activates the deletion system arbitrarily?!”
Aren’t game masters there to prevent such an explosion of artificial intelligence? How on earth did you make the game?
At this point, I started to become curious about developer Schubert’s intentions. I even felt empty.
‘…I went through a lot of trouble to stop other beings.’
They fought against worshipers, freed ancient spirits, and even defeated other imperfect beings.
But artificial intelligence is also indifferent!
As the resurrection of other beings was hindered, they even created a new deletion system called Black Rain.
X hit the point.
“There is a fundamental problem with the artificial intelligence Blossom.”
The Gourmet King nodded.
Does Maisie know this? If I had known, I would have inspected the service a long time ago.
X was lost in thought.
‘Where should I start to fix this problem?’
Now I know about Fate’s internal problems as well as external problems. All that remains is a solution.
There was a clue to solving the internal problem to some extent, but the external problem was at a loss.
Sizzling.
X looked at the gourmet king who was absorbed in cooking.
“Wouldn’t they know better than me?”
“what?”
“It’s the problem with white hair, or Blossom.”
Anyway, it’s probably the same NPC. Whatever it was, it seemed like the Gourmet King knew better.
The Gourmet King shook his head.
“No, I have never touched her during dozens of resets. I didn’t even have the conditions to understand her. “You also know from my past, right?”
The king of gourmets who was lonely in the wind. I knew that fantasy very well.
“But you can do it.”
“…yes? “Me?”
“Because you are a ‘player’ like Blossom.”
…Blossom is a player?
X’s pupils dilated to their maximum.

Weeeeing-!
Jiwon Lee opened his eyes in the capsule. It feels like the ecstatic taste is still lingering in my mouth.
“Is it because it’s the peak? Even though the 5 stars are different, they are still different.”
Not only the taste but also the effects!
The 5-star Heavenly Cooking effect seemed like it could be used very well in the battle with the White Mask.
“By the way…”
Lee Ji-won headed to the study at a brisk pace.
Although I had some time before forced logout, there was a reason why I terminated the connection in advance.
Thanks to the improved world, the only time Jiwon Lee used the keyboard in front of the computer was when she was researching or thinking about something.
“Now it seems like I can even forget the keyboard.”
Click-!
Jiwon Lee turned on the computer.
It was because I couldn’t just ignore the Gourmet King’s words. Jiwon Lee muttered as soon as the screen appeared.
“Blossom is the same player as me?”
What he meant was that Blossom was a person. Artificial intelligence is a human being, so that person should also say something that makes sense.
He laughed it off at first, but the Gourmet King was extremely serious. Jiwon Lee shook his head.
“It makes no sense in common sense.”
Crash!
Meanwhile, Lee Ji-won was writing down words in the search box.
He is a gourmet king who has watched the entire history of Fate from its first worldview to the present.
Because his words couldn’t be ignored.
‘They say people are connected to artificial intelligence…’
It really wasn’t a dangerous idea. Simply put, it meant using the human brain as a server.
The human brain cannot operate indefinitely like a machine. That was exactly what the Gourmet King was worried about.
-The period in which another being is resurrected, that is, the deletion system is activated, became shorter with each reset. This means that Blossom’s threshold has been greatly reduced.
If the terrible speculation is true…
no matter how hard you try to stop it, the rumors will inevitably leak out.
‘There was a search and seizure on Meiji recently, so if it were true, evidence or suspicion would have been found.’
There was no need to look at unreliable blogs or posts.
Jiwon Lee clicked the news tab. And I was able to come across an article that had just been written.
-Carla ‘The conspiracy theories are all true.’ Shocking announcement!
“….”
I continued reading the article.
The conspiracy theory that came from prosecutors and was floating around the press room of the Political and Social Affairs Department is true.
Jiwon Lee read the article again in silence.
I thought over the article several times to see if the conspiracy theory was true or not.
And I was able to admit it.
“Crazy guy.”
That all Fate players around the world, including himself, were playing in the palm of Schubert’s hand.
The comments were a mess.
Carla lied. No, what reason is there to lie in this situation?
They were divided in half and slandered each other.
“Even if you deceive people, you have to deceive them to the extent possible.”
I was truly angry.
I had no idea that this ugly truth was hidden in Fate, which made the whole world go crazy.
In the end, Fate was not a perfect virtual reality game, but just a fraud planned by Schubert from the prologue to the ending.
But…
even the fact that he accessed Fate and went on a rampage in Fate World was not a lie.
Even if it is said to be the greatest fraud in human history, it does not mean that there are no memories and relationships built up in Fate.
“Well, that’s enough.”
I will protect Fate World! Yes, for simple Lee Ji-won, that alone was enough of a reason.
In addition, I realized that a person’s life really depends on me and that the fate of that life depends on me.
“The difficulty of getting to a happy ending is just crazy.”
So Ji-won Lee was not going to choose any means. Not only in Fate but also in real life!
Jiwon Lee called somewhere.
-…Well, you didn’t dial the wrong number, did you?
A trembling voice asks.
It’s a mistake to make a mistake.
I got straight to the point.
“Writer Seo, the interview I promised and kept putting off. I’ll do it right now.”
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
