Minhyuk and his soldiers fought very hard in the first boss area.
âFluttering Sword.â
Minhyuk used âFluttering Swordâ and sent an attack towards the dozens of ogres that flocked to him and his men. The hundreds of leaves that fluttered around flew straight toward the ogres, killing them as they went.
âCharge!!!â Centurion Park ordered loudly as he raised his sword high and charged forward. The Twin Headed Ogre living in the first boss area had a special recovery skill, so they needed to hunt it quickly, or it would recover immediately and the rest of the orges could even recover as well.
Stab! Stab!
Slashâ
Stab!
The soldiers stabbed the ogres until they were bleeding, left with only an inch to their lives. However, the ogres immediately ran towards the Twin Headed Ogre in desperation. Before they could do so, Minhyuk had changed Diabloâs Sword into Diabloâs Scythe and attacked them.
Slashâ
Slashâ
An additional 180% to the attack speed would be added to Diabloâs Sword the moment it transformed into Diabloâs Scythe. Its reach would also increase to eight meters, thanks to the chains attached to the end of the scythe. This allowed Minhyuk to slaughter the ogres from behind. In the end, only the Twin Headed Ogre was left. It could summon more ogres with its skill, but it was a skill nonetheless, and would have a cooldown.
âGrrrr!â
The Twin Headed Ogre cried loudly as it watched the man while holding a thick chain in its hand and an ax on the other. On the other hand, Minhyuk was using his Create a Recipe skill.
[Creating a recipe that the other party desires.]
[You can now check the recipe for roasted pig.]
[The amount of buff that can be used has been decreased due to creating a recipe.]
Minhyuk grimaced when he saw the created recipe. He thought, âDamn bastard. Itâs just a monster but it wants a whole roasted pigâŠ?â
Of course, Minhyuk had at least one whole pig in his inventory. If he so decided, he could eat more than this Twin Headed Ogre basâŠÂ noâŠÂ guy. However, this guy wanted an entire pig by itself, not just a small bowl of food.
âUgh. I feel like Iâm carving my flesh and bonesâŠâ
Minhyuk really hated this, but he had no other choice. He would only be able to eat the Heavenly Beef if he did this.
âEveryone, stop that guy as much as you can, but donât kill him. Rune, Beanie!â
âOink!â
âMeeeeeeeeh!â
âHelp the soldiers whenever they are in danger. Rune, be prepared for magic casting and donât forget to use it!â
âMeeeeeeeeh!â Rune cried in answer.
Then, Minhyuk began to prepare for the whole roasted pig. He placed appropriate amounts of cuts to the pigâs skin and meat and seasoned it. Since it would be barbequed, he did his best and roasted it on fire to give it the best flavor.
âUgh. I canât believe I am giving my best efforts when Iâm not the one whoâs going to eat itâŠâ
After around fifty minutes, the roasted pork was finally completed. Minhyuk reached his hand out towards the roasted pork as he thought to himself, âAllurerâs Cooking.â
[The effect of âAllurerâs Cookingâ has been triggered.]
[You can tame a monster depending on various unpredictable factors in a monster like flavor preference and hunger.]
To complete the Allurerâs Cooking, Minhyuk had to apply cooking energy into the dish that he made using the âCreate a Recipeâ skill.
âRoaaaar!â The Twin Headed Ogre roared loudly.
Thanks to Beanie and Runeâs timely support, no serious injuries or death had happened yet. Minhyuk would also swing Diabloâs Scythe every once in a while to protect the soldiers from danger.
Thudâ
Minhyuk dropped the finished whole roasted pig in front of the Twin Headed Ogre and ordered his men to retreat. The soldiers immediately rushed to the rear at Minhyukâs order. The roasted pig had just finished cooking, so its skin was still bubbling with hot oil. The sight made Minhyuk drool, wanting to rush up and cut up the pigâs succulent butt and dip it into some spicy dipping sauce. While Minyuk was imagining himself tearing into the whole roasted pigâŠ
Poof~
â...â
The Twin Headed Ogre kicked the roasted pig away.
âGasp!â All of the soldiers gasped at the shocking scene, while Beanie and Rune trembled in fear.
âOink, oink, oink, oink. Oink!!!â Beanieâs words could be directly interpreted asâŠÂ âMaster is going to be angry!!! My goodness. That Twin Headed Ogre must really want to die. Oink!!! How dare it kick food in front of masterâŠâ
âMeeh, meeeh, meeeeeeeh!!!â Translating Runeâs wordsâŠÂ âI⊠I think the Twin Headed Ogre might only have one head in the future! Master will definitely pull out one of its heads, meeeeeeh!!!â
â...Grrr?â The Twin Headed Ogre let out a confused roar after feeling an incredible amount of killing intent burst out from one of the humans in front of it.
âDid you⊠just⊠kick⊠the foodâŠ?â
âGrr, GrrrrrâŠâ
The Twin Headed Ogre unknowingly took a step back. That was when Minhyuk realized something that he had not thought of before. There was no guarantee that the dishes made with Allurerâs Cooking would be eaten by monsters with relish. However, even if that was the case, it still should not have kicked it. Then, a brilliant idea flashed in Minhyukâs head. He thought, âIf you donât want to eat it, then Iâll just have to make you eat it.â
Minhyuk hid Diabloâs Scythe in his inventory.
âThe Twin Headed Ogre is roughly at Level 532.â
The guy was much more powerful than any other ordinary Twin Headed Ogres. The fact that it could summon ogres and help them recover made it into a difficult opponent. However, when compared to Minhyuk?
âMy strength is still enough to overwhelm it.â
Minhyuk dashed forward with just his bare hands. He quickly dodged to the side when the Twin Headed Ogre aimed for his head with its ax.
Bangâ
Minhyuk fist smashed into the Twin Headed Ogreâs hand that was holding its weapon. The difference in their builds was all too clear. However, if you compare Minhyuk and the Twin Headed Ogreâs stats, Minhyuk would be the one on top.
âKeuaaaack!â The Twin Headed Ogre shrieked loudly. However, Minhyuk still continued to attack the monsterâs right hand.
Punch, punch, punch, punchâ
âKeuaaaack!â
Clang!
In the end, the Twin Headed Ogre was forced to drop the weapon in its hands. Minhyuk immediately threw the ax further away from where they were. Players were not allowed to take the monstersâ weapons. However, they could still make it so that the monster would not be able to use it in their fight. Though, most players would not think of taking away the monsterâs weapon during a fight. After all, it was better for them to just kill the monsters, than expend the effort to do that. After Minhyuk threw the ax away, he immediately targeted the Twin Headed Ogreâs left hand.
Punch, punch, punch, punch!
Just like what happened with the ax, the Twin Headed Ogre lost its grip on the chain which allowed Minhyuk to take it and throw it away. Now, the Twin Headed Ogre was left with no weapons. What Minhyuk did next was very simpleâŠ
Punch, punch, punch, punchâ
Minhyuk picked the most painful areas of the body as he began to beat the Twin Headed Ogre to a pulp.
âYou!!!!â
âRoaaaaar!â
Punch, punch, punch!!
âShould have eaten the food!!!â
âKeuaaaack!â
Punch, punch, punch!!
âWhy did you kick it away?!!!â
âAaaack!â
The Twin Headed Ogre could not understand why the human was doing this to itself. Both of its heads squirmed and roared, trying to talk and negotiate with the human.
âKeuaaack! (Letâs fight with weapons! Why are you doing this?!)â
Punch, punch, punch!
âKeuaaaack! (Wait, thatâs my bone! My bone!!!)â
Punch, punch, punch!
âKeuaaaack! (Donât hit me where youâve already hit!)â
But Minhyuk did not care. He even used his skills whenever he attacked the Twin Headed Ogre.
[Diabloâs Eyes.]
[You will be able to see the enemyâs vital points for one second.]
[If you successfully hit a vital point that Diabloâs eyes found within 30 seconds, an additional 200% damage will be added to your attack.]
The Twin Headed Ogre had a total of three vital points. If Minhyuk successfully punched any one of them, his attacks would gain an additional 200% damage. And since the skill was still being triggered due to the speed of his punches, the additional damage effect continued to overlap. Minhyuk first sent an attack towards the Twin Headed Ogreâs stomach.
Punchâ
âKeuaaaack! (PlâŠplease stop!!!)â
Punch!
Then, he punched it on its neck.
âKeuaaaaack! (Gasp, break! Wait, wait! Hold on, not there!!!)â
And finally, on its most important body partâŠ
Bang!
âKeuheoook! (It expâŠexploâŠ)â
A loud bang rang loudly in the area. Minhyuk hesitated for a bit. He was also a man and he knew this pain too well. In fact, even the sound was a bit unusual. It sounded like something exploded. But not long afterâŠ
[The Twin Headed Ogre expressed its special skill.]
[Itâs injuries have started to recover.]
âŠIt just recovered again. And Minhyuk, who had paused in hesitation, once againâŠ
Punch, punch, punch, punch!
âGrrrrrrr!â
AndâŠ
Bang!
âKeuaaaack! (Again, it exploâŠ)â
The terrible tragedy unfolded again.
***
âUghâŠâ
Park and the other soldiers averted their eyes. They could not bear to look at the appalling scene in front of them.
âIt seems like the Commander is really cold-hearted.â
âHâŠhow can he be so cruelâŠâ
âOh my god. Did you hear the sound? It went bang!...â
Although they knew that it would not happen to them, they still thought that they should listen more carefully to their commander from now on. While they were busy shaking in fear, the Twin Headed Ogre suddenly did something unexpected. It immediately jumped up and ran to where the roasted pig fell after it kicked it off the ground. Then, it kneeled down, picked it up with reverence, and carefully ate it.
â...â
â...â
â...â
The Twin Headed Ogre knelt politely and ate the pork barbeque! It was the strangest sight that they could ever see in their lives. At that moment, the notification rang in Minhyukâs head.
[The Allurerâs Cooking has been successful.]
[You have successfully tamed the Twin Headed Ogre.]
Meanwhile, the Twin Headed Ogre, who was trying to keep its tears from falling, ate to survive.
âIt hurts, but itâs deliciousâŠâ
That was right. It definitely hurt a lot being pummeled like that, but as it turned out, the roasted pig that it was eating was extremely delicious. Just like that, Minhyuk tamed the first boss and moved quickly once again.
***
Several teams had once again gathered in the Special Players Management Team. The Team Leaders from the Development Team, Story Team, and even the Customer Center Team had gathered together.
âNâŠNo⊠Can he really use this method to tame monsters?â
âItâs like in that one classic game where you hit the fox with your bare hands and lower their HP before feeding them meat to tame themâŠâ
Then, Lee Minhwa said, âPlayer Minhyuk has moved forward to the second area without sustaining any damage to his troops!!â
In the second area, Crusoe sustained great damage. He and his troops had three injured, with two dead. On the other hand, MinhyukâŠ
âIt would be impossible for them to receive damage!!â
It was inevitable. After all, they had the Twin Headed Ogreâs special ability! Just with its ability to restore and help its allies recover, their damage had already been minimized. And since they were moving carefully, they did not have any deaths among them. On top of that, Minhyuk was also using the Twin Headed Ogreâs special ability to summon ogres cleverly. He used the Twin Headed Ogre and the ogres as tankers, while the rest used their spears and bows from behind. Minhyuk also used Diabloâs Scythe to help them around. In the end, the second bossâŠ
âPl⊠Player Minhyuk succeeded in taming the second boss monster, Harpie QueenâŠâ
â...â
Minhyuk succeeded for the second time. The Harpie Queen had the petrification ability like the ordinary harpies, but it was a bit more special. Ordinary petrification ability would not allow the enemies to suffer any damage once they had hardened into stone. However, the Harpie Queenâs petrification ability could also allow the enemies to receive damage, despite being petrified. It also could do large-scale petrification.
After successfully taming two boss monsters, the damage that Minhyuk and his troops incurred were further reduced. In the third area, the Harpie Queen petrified the enemy monsters, while the Twin Headed Ogre and ogres rushed to destroy them. All the soldiers did was to shoot their arrows from behind.
â...Player Minhyuk has already gone beyond Crusoeâs achievement level.â
â...â
â...â
â...NâŠno wayâŠâ
All of the Team Leaders were left frustrated. It seemed that the content, that should only have been released around one to two years later, was more or less confirmed to be released right now. This meant that they would definitely have to work overtime.
Then, Team Leader Park said, âBut, even if the trial is triggered, his probability of successfully clearing the Food Godâs trial is only at 2%. Right?â
âAh. Thatâs right,â Team Leader Lee Seokhoon smiled as he answered.
That was right! He only has a 2% chance of clearing the trial!
âWell, it doesnât seem like he has any special helper present right now.â
Player Minhyuk could have one helper during the trial. However, even with the help of such a person, the probability was still at 2%.
âBut, I wonder what kind of helper will Player Minhyuk call for?â Team Leader Lee Seokhoon asked.
However, after thinking hard, Team Leader Park just shrugged his shoulders and answered, âWho knows?â
***
Near the Dragon Kingâs Sea, a boy and a beautiful woman could be seen moving at a rapid pace.
âConir!!! Conir and Noona will be able to see Hyung soon!!! Conir is happy, Conir will be seeing Hyung soon!â
The woman stroked the boyâs head. She was none other than Mei Wei, the worldâs number one player.
âAre we almost there?â Mei Wei thought, while smiling slightly at the fact that she would be able to meet with Food God Minhyuk soon.
