I'm just an internet cafe owner

Inside the pitch-black dungeon, Spider looked at the various fruits he had stored in the system with a look of despair.

According to the system, these fruits were picked up for free and couldn't be taken out. Only ingredients obtained through combat could be brought into the real world, which made Spider-Man very upset.

"Waaaaah, my fruit, my fruit!"

A large white spider was rolling around frantically on the ground. It had worked hard for ten hours just to have a bite of fruit when it got bored here, but now the fruit was gone? Who could stand that!

But she quickly rallied, got up, and muttered, "We can take the ingredients we get after the battle, which means!!!"

Spider thought of the seahorses swimming in the underground magma. These seahorses had delicious meat and weren't difficult to obtain. He could easily catch all the seahorses in the area.

Perhaps due to the previous overhunting, those monsters in the lava are now quite rare. But rare doesn't mean nonexistent; Spider-Man had previously seen these 'seahorses' swimming deep within the lava.

However, since she, a little spider, didn't have full fire resistance, she couldn't swim in the lava. Plus, climbing up from above was too troublesome, so she gave up hunting these creatures.

After all, these guys are far below my level, so it's not worth going to all that trouble to hunt them.

Although it was difficult, after more than eight hours, Spider successfully caught and killed the two innermost 'seahorses' that looked like loaches or snakes.

Seeing the two large portions of ingredients, Spider resisted the urge and stored them in the system. The ingredient's full name was Eluro-Genella, and it had a seahorse-like body with arms and legs.

As a mid-level monster, it is not weak overall, but it will run away when it encounters danger.

It took Spider-Woman a lot of effort to catch those two things, but then she thought of something.

I'm currently on credit online. According to the system, the scale-like things on this monster are very valuable, and special organs can also fetch a good price.

Her intuition told her that eating these things would boost her strength. But then she remembered what the cat had said, and how she could buy useless but tasty food at an internet cafe for just a little money.

So she held back.

"For better food!"

From initially struggling to survive, to now having the opportunity to enjoy a better life, the spider chose delayed gratification, thus allowing itself to experience greater enjoyment.

After cutting up the meat, scales, and various hard materials, Spider received a notification that the internet cafe was opening.

Welcome!

When Takashima Yuna first saw the spider, she was indeed startled, but after getting to know it, she actually found the big spider kind of cute.

"Um, I think these can be sold for money, may I ask...?"

The spider took out the seahorse scales and some materials.

Upon seeing these, Yuna Takashima took them and began to explain: "These scales have some fire resistance. A complete scale is worth ten yuan, and a hundred broken scales are worth ten yuan each. There are a total of five thousand broken scales and nineteen complete scales, let's round it up to twenty, for a total value of seven hundred yuan. The remaining materials are worth two hundred and ninety... let's convert that to three hundred yuan for you. The total is one thousand yuan."

Yuna Takashima always remembered Liu Yuan's advice: when customers were buying something, try to round it up to a whole number. After all, no matter how much they sold, the internet cafe made a killing.

"Aaaaaah! Almost there!"

I spent 900 yuan yesterday on games and internet access. After selling the items today, I can only pay off yesterday's debts and cover two more hours of internet use today.

"Waaaah, I have to buy on credit again today! I'll have to work harder tomorrow!"

Spider-Man, fully energized, decided to go back and grind like crazy today. First, he'd pay off his debts, then buy the game. Once he had some money, he was determined to buy a whole case of ice-cold cola and drink it all.

Spider happily started the game after setting this small goal. When she brought fresh ingredients to Chef Cat, Chef Cat was also taken aback.

"This meat... I've never seen it before! The meat is tender and has some fire element. It seems that this prey has very few natural enemies and lives in deserts or lava areas. You can even hunt this kind of monster?"

"Hmph, of course, what kind of dishes can this be used to make?"

"Food with elemental resistance, this much meat, I guess we can make a lot of dishes, right?"

Generally speaking, a monster has very little edible meat, but the spider has brought all usable meat, and the creatures from which this meat comes are completely unheard of and unseen.

Logically, creatures living in extreme environments should have very firm flesh, and the monsters in these regions fight fiercely for food. Yet, the meat it's holding seems to come from a single, intact creature with few natural predators?

This is very unscientific. How could there be monsters in this world that live in extreme regions with very few natural enemies?

It doesn't matter, it's just a cat that makes cat food, as long as there are good ingredients, that's all that matters.

"I go!!"

Spider took the dish made by Chef Cat. It was a very simple roasted meat dish, but it could greatly and permanently increase its fire resistance? The only drawback was that this dish could only permanently increase the attribute the first time it was used. Subsequent uses could only increase fire resistance again for a certain period of time, and the effect could not be stacked.

However, this is only the effect of grilling meat. Chef Cat's cat food includes more than just grilled meat.

Soup, fried meat, stir-fried vegetables. Chef Cat used all his skills to make a total of seven dishes, each of which would increase fire resistance upon first consumption. The downside was that although the dishes were different, the fire resistance increase over time was not cumulative.

Otherwise, they would be invincible.

"So much! So amazing! So delicious!!!"

In that instant, Spider felt all his patience had been worthwhile. Attribute boost? That wasn't important; after all, he could increase his attributes by eating monsters. There were still plenty of monsters in the dungeon; if he devoured them all, his attributes would definitely increase significantly.

But such delicious food is definitely not something you can get from dungeons. What's more, this monster that only provides experience points is now also giving me a tiny bit of resistance? This is a steal!

"Hmph! Although I haven't dealt with this monster before, the cooking philosophy is the same. If you have any more of these special monster ingredients, please provide them to me for processing. I will certainly fulfill all your needs!"

For a chef, the biggest challenge is not making the food delicious, but making it delicious using ingredients that have never been seen before. Every unfamiliar ingredient is a challenge for a chef.

As a seasoned chef, it was happy to accept this challenge.

Chapter 116 Spider Hunter Monster

Chew, chew.

While enjoying the cat food prepared by the chef cat, Spider asked curiously, "By the way, are there any delicious ingredients nearby?"

"Ingredients? Keep walking straight ahead and you'll see a swamp. The strange birds there are weak but taste amazing. You can try them if you're interested."

"Huh? Really?"

"Of course it's true~ Every hunter has killed the Great Jaggi many times. Oh, by the way, this is for you."

The chef cat took out a decoration that looked like a cat's paw.

"what is this?"

"This is a keepsake. If you are in danger, a cat will come to your rescue."

"?"

Spider looked at the trinkets the other party had given him, thought they were cute, and accepted them.

"Delicious food~ Delicious food~ Delicious food~"

Guided by the chef cat and a group of hunters, the spider headed towards the place where the giant bird lived. This world was vast, but unfortunately, hunters were few and far between. There were only tens of thousands of hunters in the entire town, and those capable of challenging higher-level creatures were extremely rare.

Spider listened to the boasts of passersby and enjoyed the town's delicacies. Considering that this food could truly improve his strength, Spider decided to take the traditional leveling route: hunting down some weak monsters in the game to increase his power.

Her imagination was incredibly beautiful: she'd bully the weak in the game to increase her power, and then continue bullying the weak in real life to further enhance her strength. Once she was incredibly strong, she'd take down the giant dragon that was about to devour her!

"Hahaha~ I'm so smart!"

The spider laughed wildly as it ran as fast as it could towards the giant bird's habitat.

According to other hunters, the Great Jaggi is gentle and usually lives deep in the forest. The swamp that Chef Cat mentioned is located in the center of the jungle. This jungle is frequented by hunters year-round, and most of the more threatening monsters have fled, leaving only the Great Jaggi, a less threatening and gentle monster, behind.

"Let me check the intelligence! It's quite weak, but we need to watch out for its fireball attacks. Aside from fireballs, everything else is very weak..."

According to other hunters, the Great Jaggi is an omnivore, but it primarily eats plants and is usually prey for humans and other carnivorous animals. Because of its rapid reproduction rate and relatively low threat level, it has become a target for all novice hunters.

However, if the target audience is very small, the NPC will definitely say that this monster is very powerful and that you need to prepare equipment and bring all kinds of food. The first time, it is best to cooperate with a group of people.

However, the spider is very strong overall, and according to the hunters' assessment, suppressing the giant bird would be a piece of cake.

Soon, the spider found the giant bird.

In the jungle, this strange bird is foraging for food, and its food is a spider!

"???"

Spider suddenly had a bad feeling. Just as she was about to launch a sneak attack, the giant bird suddenly turned its head and looked at Spider. It was a giant bird that was over seven meters long.

It was even two heads taller than a two-meter-tall spider.

"Wow, it's huge! Is this thing weak?"

The spider clearly sensed desire in the monster's eyes—the desire to eat.

The giant bird is an omnivore, with plants and insects on its diet. But today, this giant bird saw 'food' it had never seen before.

The large white spider was a size it had never seen before, but compared to itself, the spider was still much smaller.

This made the big, strange bird feel like it could do it.

"Wait, I came here to hunt you, so why am I being treated like prey?"

Spider-Woman paused for a moment, then entered battle mode. She couldn't check the opponent's attributes through the system given to her by the evil god, but this giant bird didn't pose much of a threat. She could devour the monsters in the dungeon; a mere giant bird would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it?

The battle was about to begin. To veteran hunters, the Great Jaggi was no different from a roadside pheasant. But for someone like Spider-Genius, who had never seriously experienced combat in this world, the Great Jaggi was like the Omen Demon and Gundyr—a teacher-like figure.

The battle was about to begin, and Spider launched an attack using his own soul's body.

She didn't use venom because she feared it would affect the taste of the giant bird. If she could make such a delicious meal from the seahorses she caught, it was hard to imagine what kind of culinary experience this seemingly delicious chicken could offer her.

The spider attacked, first dodging the giant bird's charge, then opening its mouth to bite its neck.

If this were in the previous dungeon, she would have already killed the monsters. The monsters in the dungeon were all weak, only capable of simple attacks. But the monsters in this world are not those pathetic creatures from the dungeon.

That's right, the monsters there have fought countless battles to survive. However, their battles are limited to those with their own kind, whereas in Monster Hunter, monsters are engaged in multi-faceted battles involving monsters, monsters, and hunters.

Meanwhile, the giant bird, which was essentially food, accumulated a wealth of combat experience over the years.

月:费.'群;:】:..4:9.,3:""6!，1:3";5."

The giant bird, whose attack was dodged, drifted in place while simultaneously launching fireballs from its beak as it charged forward.

The giant bird, charging forward while firing fireballs from its mouth, made Spider realize immediately that he had underestimated it; this monster might be more troublesome than any he had ever encountered before.

Previously, the monsters I encountered were either enormous or extremely numerous. I've never encountered a low-level monster like the Great Jaggi, which is agile, accurate in targeting, and has a variety of attack methods.

As for my past gaming experience? Please~ In my memory, I'm a fan of otome games and RPGs, and I've played action games, but very few. Monster Hunter is something I've only heard of and seen, never actually played.

If she had played it, she would never underestimate this giant bird, because in the game, it's a true newbie killer. For the original hunters, it could perform a tail whip, a wind pressure dash, a stationary drift, and a collision with a fireball.

Both types of attacks are very difficult for newcomers to deal with. As for veteran hunters? Even if they just stand still and let the giant bird beat them up, it will definitely not be pleasant.

Due to insufficient intelligence and a slight underestimation of its opponent, Spider-Man suffered a setback. He wasn't killed, but he was badly beaten by the giant bird's series of attacks.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Help!!"

While shouting for help, he pushed his speed and strength to the limit, and used all his skills at the same time.

This giant bird was very experienced. It kept hitting the spider's head, but it didn't matter. The spider immediately retreated after the first attack and turned its rear end towards the giant bird's body.
