Solo Eating to Overpowered

Episode 98

“Ah, dark iron?”

Danwoo’s face darkened for an instant. How can you touch such a precious mineral?

For the production class, handling precious materials becomes experience, proficiency, and level.

If I had the chance, I would have gone out of my way to touch it.

Danwoo continued speaking in a gloomy voice.

“If you had touched that precious thing, you would have much better skills than you do now. I wonder if there are any users among blacksmith users who have experience handling rock iron…”

“Hmm, I see.”

“Still, I’m confident in repairs! Even if rock iron is used, repairs are often done with regular iron ore. “I’ve been sick of iron ore repairs…”

X shook his head. I was sorry that I had made such a fuss, but I didn’t mean to entrust the repairs to you.

X needed pure rock iron equipment with excellent performance.

Asus, who was watching, intervened.

“…X, do you really have a dark iron?”

“Okay, I’m thinking of making equipment out of rock iron.”

“I’m tired of being surprised now.”

Asus paused for a moment, but didn’t seem overly surprised. After all, he had previously faced a dragon that was as gentle as a pet dog. Asus, convinced, shrugged his shoulders.

“I have the skill to make equipment out of rock iron. There will not be a blacksmith user with the level you want. “It means there may be something, but there will be no way to contact it.”

X had no choice but to agree.

The world is wide and there are many masters.

But isn’t it only when the expert comes out into the world that we can even have a conversation? Even X, who has incredible skills, was hiding his power until recently.

‘Can’t we help it?’

Unfortunately, for now, I have no choice but to give up on the rock iron set.

I wanted to be fully prepared before entering the home base of other beings. However, I felt like I would have to be satisfied with raising my level and proficiency.

The moment when X gave up his regrets.

Danwoo, who had been silent, opened his mouth.

“…there is.”

“?”

“I’m not a user, but I’m a blacksmith with the skills to make equipment with rock iron!”

X, who immediately understood Danwoo’s words, answered.

“Are you talking about the blacksmith NPC?”

“That’s right. He is my teacher. “He is not known to the world because he has built a wall away from the world, but he never stops training every day.”

Danwoo truly respected his teacher. Although they met by chance, Danwoo was able to immediately recognize his outstanding skills, and after begging for a full month, he was able to become his disciple. X’s face lit up.

‘done.’

NPC blacksmith!

As I said in the past, the original owners of Fate World are NPCs, not users. As Fate approaches its first anniversary, NPCs are still at the top in most areas.

The problem is how to find such NPCs.

But I never thought I would meet a connection like this.

X opened his mouth without hesitation.

“Danwoo, please take the lead. “To where Master is!”

*

Asus could no longer work with X. The Resistance Eating Alone Alliance has begun to become active!

It was Explorer who secretly helped them in various ways. The leader couldn’t be away for a long time.

“I can’t believe I get to travel with X…!”

Thanks to this, X went out alone with Danwoo to find his teacher, the blacksmith. It wasn’t uncomfortable. The person himself seemed innocent and I felt like a younger brother I knew.

‘Besides, you are a valuable listener.’

Let’s ask Danwoo to evaluate the taste.

Because X has a heavenly sense of taste and can eat anything delicious, he desperately needed the evaluation of others. There is a lot to be gained from even these small details.

X strengthened his will and advanced.

“Master, you live near a giant volcano in the center of the continent.”

“Oh my, you’re having a hard time buying it.”

“Hehe, I almost died from the heat, but… there is no better place for blacksmiths. “To make good equipment, you need strong firepower, and in a volcano, firepower is in abundance.”

“aha.”

I understood it right away. Another thing I learned from the conversation was X. Since I used the village return spell, it didn’t take long to reach the volcano.

A lot. The two sweating sweat stopped.

“Shall we take a short break?”

“Hehe, I was waiting for you to say that.”

Even if he was a blacksmith who was strong in heat, the heat of a huge volcano was not something he could adapt to. X, who wiped his sweat, raised his head and looked at the volcano.

“…It’s really big.”

A volcano of enormous size!

This is what I felt when I met the Singhar people in the primeval forest, but it was a volcano that could exist because it was virtual reality. The height seemed to be dozens of kilometers. X, who had been staring at the volcano in fascination, shook his head.

“This is not the time. “Try to cool off a bit.”

“yes? Yes I will.”

Shashak! X ran towards the volcano, leaving Danwoo behind. The heat from the volcano definitely slowed down my walking pace. X planned to quell the heat with a heavenly dish.

‘Because it works for other people too.’

X, with his heavenly sense of taste, was able to completely ignore the heat, but other people simply felt less heat. Still, it was much better than not eating at all.

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen these guys?”

puck! As soon as he finished speaking, X struck down the monsters with a fist fight. Fruits that only grow near chunks of meat and volcanoes. X, who procured the ingredients, lit a fire.

Danwoo helped from the side.

“Is there anything I can help you with? Even though I look like this, I do cook a bit.”

“You came along because of me, so please rest comfortably. It’s okay to be alone. Still, if you still want to help me… I would like to ask you to give me an honest taste evaluation.”

X finishes what he wants to say in an instant!

Danwoo, who was listening, smiled brightly.

“All right. “I will try to do it as calmly as possible.”

Sssss. X’s hand began to move dazzlingly along the shadow. The fruit and meat are boiled together to remove any unpleasant odors, and spicy spices are sprinkled to remove the scent and any odors that may not have been caught before.

“Wow, it smells already!”

Just starting, Danwoo exclaimed with admiration. It could be said that the Gourmet King’s skills were simple yet close to perfection. It didn’t take long for the dish to be completed.

“thank you for this food!”

Danwoo bowed his head, buried his face in his bowl, and concentrated on eating. There was nothing else like X. The taste of hot volcanoes for the first time in a while!

‘It’s so intense.’

Tiroling! A notification came to mind.

[Heavenly tastes have discovered the hidden flavor of the ‘Spicy Festival of the Dish of the opposite sex’!]

[Uncontrollable heat is absorbed into your body!]

[Flame property resistance increases significantly for 24 hours!]

[Fire property resistance for 24 hours! Affinity increases significantly!]

[Damage from fire attribute magic increases by 100% for 24 hours!]

The rising body heat overcame the heat of the volcano. Then the sweat that had been dripping began to stop in an instant. That seems to be the same for Danwoo as well. Danwoo, who was sniffling at the spicy taste, opened his mouth.

“Is it because of your mood that you suddenly feel cold?”

“Iknow, right. How amazing.”

“Can I have another bowl over there?”

“Sure.”

Do not disclose trade secrets!

X, who was acting like a fool, picked up the ladle and filled Danwoo’s bowl. After the meal was over and they had cleaned up after themselves, the two hurried away.

“The sun is setting.”

A red volcano burning brightly in the dark sky. At night, the monsters living near the volcano become more active. Of course, I wasn’t afraid of monsters or anything like that.

Danwoo must have been nervous, so he walked hard on his short legs.

“Master, etiquette is very important. Also, he’s very fussy and tends to go to bed early… If you stay any later, he’ll yell like crazy…”

Rattling. Master’s pressure!

‘I’ll have to sweep it up on the way home.’

Having said that, even if I saw new monsters and ingredients, I was not allowed to do anything else. The two went into the forest, chatting less. Then X asked.

“Now that I think about it, I haven’t heard the taste evaluation yet.”

“Evaluation? “Can’t you tell by looking at my stomach?”

X’s cuisine was flawless even for loyal listeners!

It was Danwoo, playfully hitting his stomach. Although it was a hot and spicy dish served in the scorching heat, it could be said to be a huge success. X shrugged his shoulders.

‘I can’t help it.’

I would like to ask my loyal listeners to evaluate the taste, but I can’t.

X, who learned a different lesson than expected, chuckled.

*

A small thatched house visible in the distance.

There’s even a brazier next to it that lights up a soft fire.

Danwoo opened his mouth.

“That’s Master’s house.”

A house where there is not even a speck of greed in sight. In Fate, an excellent blacksmith can be said to print money. One of the places where the large guilds, a symbol of wealth, spent their money lavishly was on equipment. Because of this, X felt a little uneasy.

‘Why do I have a feeling that it won’t be a good fit for me?’

X can be said to be greed itself!

The author, Danwoo’s teacher, seemed to have a personality completely opposite to his own. From here, Danwoo took the lead. Danwoo lowered his voice and whispered.

“Judging by the fact that I can’t hear you, I think you’ve already gone to bed… I’ll try to make a presence first. Haha, my heart is shaking.”

Danwoo arrived at the thatched house and cautiously opened his mouth.

“Um… I’m Danwoo, Master’s disciple.”

“Hmm.”

Instead of a welcome, an uncomfortable cough was heard from beyond the door.

I’m dead.

Danwoo closed his eyes tightly and opened his mouth once again.

“Hey, Master? Forgive me for being late. I started off diligently, but because I was slow, I ended up arriving in the middle of the night. But if you haven’t fallen asleep yet, at least make a face at your ugly student…”

“…What is that guy next to you doing?”

A voice as loud as that of a wild beast!

It was a tone that conveyed caution. Moreover, looking at the intimidating feeling, it seemed that Danwoo’s teacher was not an ordinary person with internal skills.

“This person…”

The moment Danwoo was about to answer, X opened his mouth.

“My name is X. By chance, I came across an extremely valuable material and was looking for an excellent blacksmith. “I met Danwoo, and with Danwoo’s help, I was able to find a teacher who was said to have outstanding skills.”

X has gained know-how. This is the know-how to deal with NPCs with a temperamental personality.

I got a sense of it while dealing with Kalon, who was famous for being harsh, and I realized it completely when my heart was pierced by Liglian.

‘Honest is the best!’

If you try to flatter someone for no reason, it can have the opposite effect. Was X’s know-how effective?

The answer came back with a rustling sound.

“I taught my only student everything I had. Even after meeting that guy, he came to see me? “It’s like an insult to me, my teacher.”

Danwoo answered restlessly.

“Master, that’s entirely due to my lack of skills…”

“It’s done. “Be prepared.”

“Hey…”

The moment Danwoo was completely cowered, the door opened.

The figure of a middle-aged man was revealed in the soft light of the furnace.

In addition to its gigantic size reminiscent of a volcano, it also has a face like a bandit that looks far from the patience required for a blacksmith! He spat out words that were close to a threat.

“Did I say it was an incredibly precious ingredient? If the blacksmith said something that forced him to react, he would have to take responsibility for it. “Let’s take out that precious ingredient.”

Although he has a rough personality, he seems to be a blacksmith.

“I won’t disappoint you!”

X confidently opened the inventory.

Munchkin that I eat all by myself
