Adventurers Are Obsessed With My Cooking - Adventurers Are Obsessed With My Cooking chapter 74

Episode 74. Be my assistant

Emperor of Dungeon.

Obviously, I have never raised a wizard myself in this game.

But why would a deceased person be a deceased person?

It is not necessary to develop a character to know its strengths and weaknesses.

I also really liked making skill trees.

It’s a memory I want to forget now, but I once studied the various skill trees of wizards while discussing the direction of my colleague Cha Soo-yeon’s growth.

Of course, there are so many skills on the mage side, and there are many ways to combine them.

There may be some parts I missed, and I’m not aware of all the parts that change with the interim patches.

Since I haven’t grown it myself, detailed details will be lacking.

But…

‘No matter how much.’

Even if there is a submarine patch that I don’t know about, let’s say.

But where does this make sense?

High Orcs are not normal monsters.

It is an elite monster that party hunting is recommended for.

Such a monster is not even a high level player like me, and is instantly killed by a magic spell used by a wizard of the same level?

Common sense is impossible.

It doesn’t make sense to say that Melissa is wearing the Legendary full set, much less she is wearing the equipment from Salem, a beginner area.

‘No matter how crazy the cooking buff is…’

I looked at Melissa, who was proudly spreading her chest in front of me.

A face eager to be praised.

“How was it?”

There were so many questions I wanted to ask this kid right away.

I wanted to hear all of the skill information as well as the characteristics, why I chose that skill, whether I knew it would exert such power.

But before that, without a chance to rest, another group of high orcs led by Rudy started to shake the ground.

‘No way, again?’

I looked at Melissa again.

I was wondering if I could use that magic from a while ago again.

But it wasn’t.

Chris and Tbury moved this time.

Those who were originally Rudy’s party activated their skills with confident faces.

Chris, the ice wizard, has installed an ice sheet that covers a wide area.

High Orcs who stepped on it often slipped and fell, and the part that touched the ice gradually began to freeze.

If you don’t get out of there, you will take thousands of cold damage every second.

High Orcs are fire-attribute monsters.

The freezing magic attack with attribute weights could be said to be the best way to deal with them.

Then, a huge rain of arrows began to pour down on them.

Arrow shower used by Tbury.

Uncountably, countless arrows pierced the flesh of the frozen monsters.

The sound of picking pigs continued for a while.

And finally, those who were lucky enough to be out of range of the wide-area attack were swept away by Mumu’s great sword that was waiting.

The skirmishers and shaman-type orcs that slowly followed behind the high orc group were the same.

‘Looks familiar…’

Each person’s role was decided, and it was like watching a veteran hunting party.

It was a refreshing shock.

My gaze naturally turned to the hairy boy.

He must have been the one who made the children like this.

Lemons are definitely not.

I know him well.

“Mr. Hey! Here’s another piece of meat!”

“Wow, five pieces of steel came out at once. Isn’t this a record?”

“Five came out yesterday too.”

‘Because I caught it like this…’

I think I know now.

Why was their inventory full of high orc meat?

If you melt it down by driving it in large quantities like this, you’ll have more than enough to open a couple of High Orc butchers a day.

I looked at the guys checking the drop items in amazement, but Lemon was driving a large number of orcs from the other side again.

“I’m excited, I’m excited.”

Like the other guys, the face of Lemon, who was driving the mob, looked the most excited.

* * *

The first hunt is over.

Even if you try to drive the high orcs, the seeds have already dried up around here.

If you want to hunt more, you have to move the location.

“Let’s stop hunting here. We’ve had a lot of fun watching.”

“Why? It just sounded like fun…”

“I’ve only collected 50 steel now. I could collect a thousand if I worked all day… Then it’s 10,000 gold.”

These guys, hunting is easy, but making money well makes them itchy.

But hunting here is meaningless now.

Even if you chase it like that, the experience won’t go up that much.

‘There’s no place to put meat anymore…’

It was all surprising, but from my point of view, Melissa’s magic was the biggest shock.

It was understandable to some extent that the other guys became stronger due to the cooking buff and level increase.

However, Melissa’s magic was on a different level.

No matter how hard it is, to defeat a high orc in one shot.

Arcane magic.

Fire magic and arcane magic are what people choose most when they want a powerful shot.

Among them, the special element mage is famous for its tough training difficulty, and especially the arcane mage.

What was inevitable was that there was no proper attack skill up to level 40, and even if you learned magic, you could only attack once, and the casting time was one year.

The longer the casting, the higher the chance that the skill will be blocked before it is activated.

An arcane mage who doesn’t even have a useful mezeki.

Therefore, a tank that blocks enemy attacks at the source is essential until the magic is completed.

In other words, it is said that he specializes in party hunting, but no matter how you look at it, he seems to be blessed with luck.

Isn’t the environment perfectly supporting it?

Following me and Lemon, this time even the hairy hair was attached.

The mobs are driven by themselves, and the guy just needs to stand still and rest, then cast magic according to the timing.

‘I’m not hosting any kind of princess…’

Moreover, the more surprising part.

‘Somehow, I heard it’s unusually strong…’

Until now, I didn’t know because I didn’t pay attention to it, but all arcane magic systems had a huge magic damage amplification factor by intelligence stat.

If other magic increases damage by 5 per 1 intelligence, arcane magic seems to be on the high side, reaching 7 or 8, maybe 10.

In other words, the higher the intelligence level, the higher the magic damage used by Melissa increases exponentially.

‘Should I celebrate this?’

At the same time, if you eat my food, Melissa will become a monster-like wizard.

It is said that a wizard can do nothing without my cooking and if the reliable party members do not persevere until the magic is completed.

“It’s okay! Melissa has both Unnie Lemon and Uncle Lemon!”

‘I’m saying this…’

Well, I don’t have any intention of kicking him out, but it’s just a pity that his future is too dependent on me and Lemon.

Then a thought struck me.

‘Ah, that’s right! Isn’t it enough to make him a cook?’

I can’t take Melissa like my slave forever.

I want you to become a wizard who can stand on her own without lemons.

What if he could make buff dishes even if he wasn’t as good as me?

Then you will be able to overcome some of his weaknesses.

I called Melissa to my front.

He gave me plenty of compliments he wanted.

She seemed to want it, so she even stroked her hair.

I quietly proposed to Melissa, who was blushing to see if she was in a good mood.

“Would you like to be Melissa’s assistant?”

“An assistant?”

“Yes. Don’t you want to learn how to cook buff?”

“Can I learn? Then I want to learn! Melissa wants to cook too!”

Did I just say that?

This guy is so moody.

I had a hunch that if my cooking skills improved, I would stop being a wizard.

But then what?

Because you decide your own future.

Just because Melissa’s magic is very useful for the party, you can’t force it for the rest of your life.

What came to me at that time was Mumu.

He was protruding his lips as if he had something to say.

“Do you have anything to say?”

“No… I… I was wondering why you didn’t ask me to be an assistant…”

I smiled softly and stroked the boy’s head.

“Do you want to do anything?”

“Yes. I want to help you too. I want to cook delicious food like you did.”

“I should have told you earlier. Then let’s do nothing.”

This is the sea I was hoping for.

I’ve been hesitant to ask because it seems like he’s acting like a worker, but I’m so thankful that he told me that he would do it first.

However, an unexpected person approached.

“Hey… Chef.”

“Yes?”

It was Nadia, the receptionist of the Pixel West Adventurers Guild.

“Can I learn too?”

“Yes? Are you saying you want to be my assistant? What about the adventurer’s guild…”

“That’s actually… Can you lend me an ear for a moment?”

“Ah, yes…”

I bowed my back.

Nadia’s tickling voice bothered my ears.

“I think the hairy old man really likes the dishes the chef made… I want to make them too.”

“Yes?”

I looked down at her in surprise.

The way her cheeks blushed was the very girl who fell in heavenly love.

I sneakily saw the hairy face.

Well, it doesn’t look bad.

If you shave off your beard, you might be able to take care of it.

Looking at his personality and how well the kids follow him… It’s clear that he’s not a bad person.

Eh, no matter what.

A guild receptionist fell in love with a bearded player?

I asked Nadia again.

“No way…”

She wandered her gaze to and fro and then gave me attention.

“Shh. Please don’t say anything. It’s a secret from you.”

‘Hey, has the hairy boy been watching you all this time?’

There were many things I wanted to say, but I decided to pretend I didn’t know.

The more assistants, the better.

“There are still plenty of assistant positions, so if you want, do that.”

In this way, I quickly gained three assistants.

About one of them seems to have a completely different goal.

Anyway, what kind of charm does that hairy guy have…

‘I’m kind of envious of that.’
