Leveling Up Through Eating

Chapter 190: Infinitely Refilling Lamb Meat

Translator: ChubbyCheeks

PR: MattForgenti

Lightning is a passive skill. It was one of the powers of the disaster artifact, Lightning Millstone. The lightning effect would have a 5% chance of triggering once a successful attack had landed on the enemy. The damage that the lightning could inflict could be as strong as the first attack that landed on the enemy’s body.

Minhyuk’s first successful attack was the stab on Baphomet’s abdomen. It had a 100% damage that was added on top of the initial damage. What was worse was that there were even three lightning strikes that struck on top of its head in a row.

Spurt!

“Meeeeeeeeh!”

Baphomet’s body couldn’t help but tremble horribly after being struck by such an attack. Even the sword that stabbed through its abdomen had a condensed force that exploded which resulted in its stomach being mutilated beyond recognition. And behind, Kongie was using his flipper blade to tear and slash at its back.

‘What a ridiculous regenerating speed.’

However, despite being in such a precarious situation, Baphomet’s mutilated body was already slowly regenerating! Along with its incredibly fast regeneration, they could see its bejeweled staff glittering and shining faintly. Minhyuk felt a different energy coming from the staff this time. Then, he decisively struck down his sword and hit the jewel.

Clang!

Crack, crack, crack!

The jewel fell from the staff and cracked before falling into pieces. At that exact same moment, the other guild members and the rest of the troops were notified.

[You have been released from Baphomet’s curse.]

“Yeah!”

“Come here you bastards!”

The Legend Guild members, who were blocking and being pushed back by the users and the Anubis monsters, cheered loudly. And before Baphomet fully regenerated, Minhyuk said……

“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely enjoy a delicious meal from you. Ah, come to think of it……”

Minhyuk licked his lips.

“Your breast part looks extremely mouthwatering, right?”

“Meeeeeeeeh?!”

And Baphomet, whose face was fully regenerated and restored, had a terrified look on its face.

Dash─

[Splitting Sword.]

[A powerful red sword will fly at an enemy. Your sword will have an additional 115% attack power.]

Minhyuk slashed his sword from top to bottom. At that moment, a reddish swordlight struck out to split Baphomet in half.

Crack, crack, crack, crack─

“Me, meeeeeeeeh……?”

Baphomet let out a small confused cry. The sword light had passed through its body in a blink of an eye and it seemed like it was clueless about what happened to itself. Then, its body split in half as each of its half fell on both sides.

Minhyuk heard the notifications after it fell down.

[You have leveled up.]

[You have leveled up.]

[You have leveled up.]

[You have leveled up.]

[You have leveled up.]

The notifications began with five consecutive level up notifications. But it did not end there.

[You are the first to successfully hunt a Demonic Monster from the Demon World.]

[You have gained an additional 100% on your gained EXP.]

[You have gained 700,000 EXP.]

[You have gained 300 reputation points.]

[You have leveled up.]

[You have leveled up.]

[You have leveled up.]

[You have leveled up.]

[You have acquired an Antarinium, a mineral from the Demon World.]

[You have acquired a Blutinium, a mineral from the Demon World.]

[You have acquired a Blutinium, a mineral from the Demon World.]

[You have acquired the Weaker Baphomet’s Summoning Stone.]

For the first rewards the first ever hunter would be able to acquire the items and rewards in his inventory even if he did not go to acquire each item personally. So the Demon World minerals as well as the Weaker Baphomet’s Summoning Stone had entered Minhyuk’s inventory.

The thing that piqued Minhyuk’s interest the most was the Weaker Baphomet’s Summoning Stone.

(Weaker Baphomet’s Summoning Stone)

Special Abilities: You are allowed to summon a weaker Baphomet that’s at least 80 levels below the original Demonic Monster Baphomet from the Demon World for three hours. The summoning stone will disappear once the three hours has been used up.

Description: This is a Weaker Baphomet summoning stone that can only be obtained by the first user to ever hunt a Demonic Monster from the Demon World. If you summon Baphomet among your enemies and the enemies think that Baphomet is dangerous then wouldn’t it have the best effect if you summoned it at that time?

A smirk curled up at the corners of Minhyuk’s mouth.

‘He will be 80 levels lower than the one from earlier?’

Minhyuk had thought that Baphomet’s strength was comparable to Great Mage Rafielt who was one of the Strongest Men. But Minhyuk realized just now that he was much stronger than Rafielt that he had fought back then. Earlier, he had estimated his level to be at around 500. However, it seemed like the reason why it was particularly hard to defeat was because of the ‘curse’. Strong mobs were not only those that had high levels. Just like in the case of Baphomet. Baphomet’s abilities had added to his enormous strength.

But if Baphomet’s level was less than 80 of his level from earlier then Minhyuk believed that if he did things step by step then he would be able to do what he wanted to do.

‘Infinitely refilling lamb meat!’

Minhyuk was in bliss.

However, there was just one problem. The summoning stone that he had received would disappear after a total of three hours of use. He was wondering if Baphomet would still disappear if he succeeded in taming Baphomet with the Allurer’s Cooking Skill. Of course it was a matter that still needed to be confirmed later.

Minhyuk looked around his surroundings. It seemed like Pharaoh could no longer use his magical skills and summoning abilities after he had summoned Baphomet earlier. And most of the Anubis’ were easily dealt with by the Spear Masters.

“Fall back! FXcker!”

“......shit!”

The members of Bachran Guild were trying to regain their strength as they tried to fall back. However, they could see that Legend Guild was easily massacring them even though they were only few in numbers. Every time they passed by, their colleagues’ artifacts and gold would scatter on the ground. With Pharaoh out of commission, Bachran Guild was completely not a match against Legend Guild. In addition, the Second Legion that was supposed to come for support had all died because of a surprise attack.

“But there’s no order for a retreat yet?!”

“Is that the problem right now?! Are you just going to die and voluntarily deliver your gold and artifacts to Legend Guild?!”

They started running away to avoid being forced to log out while still in a Chaotic State. And just like one of the users said, if they did not run away, perhaps they would just voluntarily deliver their gold and artifacts to them.

Legend Guild could see the glittering gold and artifacts that were sprawled all over the place.

In that gap, Pharaoh tore his return scroll. But at that moment……

[The Return Restriction Skill is currently invoked.]

Pharaoh’s eyes widened in fear. When he turned his head he could see a man wearing a mask while pointing a dagger at his neck.

It was The Informant, Abel. Although he mainly focused on information, Abel was still a top-ranking player that could rival the 1st~3rd in the assassin’s rankings in the country.

“Are you trying to run away like a rat?”

Pharaoh could see the Legend Guild members crowding around him. He could even see Locke coming up as he spat on both of his hands before grasping the hilt of his axe tightly.

He was also a top-ranker. But if a top-ranker lost just a bit of % from his EXP then he would be doomed. Just a bit of difference from the levels and EXP could immediately change his position in the rankings.

Slash!

Slash!

“Kyahahaha! Die! Die! Die!”

Locke struck down on every inch of Pharaoh’s body without any mercy.

“Uuuuuuuhm……”

“......”

“......”

“......”

The guild members just whistled nonchalantly as they avoided Pharaoh’s pleading gaze.

“Keuaaaack! You ugly bastard! Just kill me!”

“But I hate it? Eyy. Let me give you a heal!”

Pharaoh’s body was suddenly covered with heals. Once his body was healed and recovered, Locke started a terrible abuse on his body again. After beating him for at least 10 minutes, Pharaoh’s body was spent and on its last stretch. He died wretchedly under the hands of the furious Locke.

“Oh. I got an item.”

[You have acquired Batarai’s Staff.]

Locke grinned at the fact that it was a Legendary artifact.

Meanwhile, Genie looked around.

“Haa. When will we be able to sort this out again?”

Plenty of the buildings were destroyed and quite a few of the citizens were also killed. They were fortunate enough to not incur any financial loss thanks to the drops from Bachran Guild. No. It seemed like they even made some profit.

“Oh. Nim, it was your gravity magic earlier, right? It was so cool!”

“Thank you.”

“But, who are you?”

Rak and some of the guild members were talking to each other. Her gaze went past them trying to look for someone but Genie could not find a trace of his shadow.

“......Huh?”

Genie looked around curiously but she truly could not find him.

“Guys.”

“Huh?”

“Why?”

Locke and Khan turned to look at her as she asked them……

“......Where did Minhyuk go?”

“Yeah. Where is he?”

“Hmmm.”

It was not only Minhyuk that disappeared, even Baphomet’s body had disappeared.

Where the hell did this punk go?

***

Minhyuk smiled happily.

As soon as everything in Valhalla Territory was settled, he quickly dashed and left the place. He was afraid that someone would want to take a bite out of his food if he stayed there. He was confident that Genie would distribute the items fairly. And, if he stayed there, wouldn’t they use the excuse of item distributions just to eat the things that he had acquired? So he quickly dashed away.

Fwish─

It was the sound of a can of beer being opened. People said that beer was best drunk ice cold. The ‘Tsingtao’ beer was cold enough to numb his hands. This beer would mark the start of his meal.

Gulp, gulp, gulp, gulp, gulp─

“Kyaa!”

Nothing tastes sweeter and more refreshing than having the first sip from a can of ice cold beer after doing hard work.

Then, Minhyuk looked in front of him.

Shiiiiiiiiiik─

“Wow……”

Minhyuk stared at it in admiration.

In front of him was a lamb skewer machine that one could commonly see in a lamb restaurant. Inside the machine were plenty of burning charcoal that amped up the heat. There were plenty of lamb meat placed on long skewers that were rotating along the saw-toothed and star shaped holders.

Aren’t the drops of oil that came from the skewers make it look mouth watering and appetizing to eat?

Shiiiiiiiiii─

Faint smoke bloomed from the embers of the charcoal.

“Hiyaaa!”

Watching it is so fun!

And beside him were spices that he had prepared earlier. There were a variety of spices lined up beside him. Usually, people who visited the lamb skewers restaurant and saw the red spices for the first time would say……

‘Are lamb skewers dipped in ramyeon sauce?’

In fact, those bright and eye-catching red powder that they had mistaken for ramyeon sauce due to its uncanny similarity in appearance was none other than ‘Lamb Skewer Seasoning’ powder. And the spice that looked like rice beside it was none other than ‘Cumin’. This cumin was a spice that was made from the seeds of one of the plants that were a part of the parsley family.

Lamb skewers were naturally eaten with plenty of spices so he had prepared a lot of spices beside him.

“Hiyaaa. It’s finally done.”

Minhyuk picked a lamb skewer. As soon as the skewer left the grilling machine, he could see the oil sizzling on the surface of the lamb skewer. This meant that it was cooked perfectly until it was golden brown. There were also cloves of garlic placed in between the lamb meat in each skewer. The cloves of garlic looked like they were as well grilled as the lamb meat that was squeezing them together. Putting garlic in between the lamb meat in a skewer was Minhyuk’s way of enjoying this delicacy more deliciously.

Without waiting any further, Minhyuk dipped his lamb skewer in salt. He believed that it was best to dip the lamb skewers in salt when he was just beginning his meal. This way, he could taste the most authentic and original flavor of the lamb skewer.

Then, he bit on the lamb meat and pulled it out of the skewer with his teeth. At least three or four pieces of lamb meat landed inside his mouth. When he chewed on the pieces of meat, he could taste the juicy, savory and salty flavor of the lamb skewer.

“Wow……”

He was in awe.

“There’s not even a single fishy taste……”

Others might think that lamb skewers would have a gamey and fishy taste to it but if they tasted the lamb skewer from a really good restaurant then they would fall in love with the meat that could melt in one’s mouth like an A++-rated beef. The meat that he was eating was just like that.

He quickly finished chewing the lamb meat in his mouth. After finishing those pieces, he wanted to try the ramyeon sauce-like lamb skewers so he quickly dipped it in the bright red spicy spices. As soon as the meat fell in his mouth, the spicy flavor quickly spread in his mouth. Small beads of sweat had formed on his forehead due to the spiciness. However, it was the delicious kind of spiciness and not the painful kind of spiciness. He smiled happily at the flavor from the spices. Then, he quickly tried the other spices.

What should I eat after eating the lamb skewers?

Of course, the answer was lamb chops. The lamb skewers were in fact just like the pre-dinner bread that was served in a restaurant! The mukbang would only truly begin with the lamb chops.

The lamb chops in his hands were marvelous. There was thick meat that was clinging strongly to the bones. It was definitely superb meat. Then, he quickly placed the meat on the grill.

Shiiiiiiiiiik─

Smoke quickly bloomed and floated up in the sky. Right next to the lamb chops that were grilling perfectly were sweet pumpkin slices, cherry tomatoes, green onions, egg plants, garlic cloves, and mushrooms that were all sliced down to the size of a thumb.

Once the lamb chops were grilled perfectly well, he sliced them one by one. The inside of the lamb chops were glimmering with a red glossy sheen. And in front of Minhyuk was a bowl filled with cheongyang peppers together with soy sauce.

He picked up a piece of lamb chops. It was glowing and shining brightly like a well-grilled sirloin. Then, he dipped it in the seasoning before placing it in his mouth. As soon as it dropped in his mouth, the juices bursted out from the meat before combining deliciously with the sweet and spicy taste of the cheongyang peppers and sauce.

“Why doesn’t it taste greasy at all?”

With this, wouldn’t it be enough if I have at least 100?

After eating the juicy meat of the lamb chops, he turned towards the bones and sucked on the tissues that were hidden within. He held the long lamb chops before ripping out a piece of the bone. Then he sucked on it happily making sure to taste every single piece of it.

“Chew, chew. As expected, it’s delicious if you gnaw on the meat attached to the bone.”

And after he ate the mushrooms, cherry tomatoes and sweet pumpkin slices that he grilled together with the lamb chops, he felt infinitely healthier and happier.

After doing his very own lamb meat mukbang, Minhyuk realized that the meat was almost gone.

“I want to eat more lamb!”

Baphomet’s lamb meat! It was extremely delicious.

Just as he was thinking about it, Minhyuk heard a series of notifications.

[You can acquire Baphomet’s Skills.]

[Would you like to acquire it?]

Baphomet was a Demonic Monster that was well-versed in magic spells and curses. And with Minhyuk’s Eccentric Food Fighter’s skills he would be able to randomly acquire one skill from the plethora of skills that a monster had but if he was a bit luckier he might be able to get an additional skill that could be acquired and he would be able to continue getting another skill. In other words, he could choose one stably or try his luck by drawing randomly from a wide range of skills.

“Attempt it.”

[You are attempting to acquire a random skill.]

At that moment, two dice were thrown and rolled in front of Minhyuk. Listed on each side of the dice that were thrown were Baphomet’s various skills. There was even a ridiculous skill that said ‘Acquire 5th class magic’ listed on one of the sides.

[Acquisition rate 11%...... 22%...... 36%...... 68%......]

Then the dice stopped in front of him showing the skills that he was trying to acquire. At the same time, the notifications rang.

[85%, 99%, 100%]

[You have successfully acquired the skill.]
