BXBX NOVEL Chapter 302: Siblings Selling Ramyeon
Chapter 302: Siblings Selling Ramyeon
One day, her younger sibling died in a car accident. The problem was that Mei Wei was present at that time. Unfortunately, she failed to stop her younger sibling as he headed toward the road with a bright smile while chasing after a butterfly. It was because she was fat. Her heavy body had prevented her from moving quickly. Because of that, she had developed a trauma.
‘I killed my younger sibling because I’m fat. If I wasn’t fat, I could have saved my brother.’
Mei Wei’s body immediately lost weight and fell under only 50 kilograms. The resulting problem was that her body began to refuse food, and she was eventually diagnosed with Anorexia.
“W…What should I do?!!!”
Mei Wei had a younger sibling with an intellectual disability, so she was not flustered when she saw the little boss speaking gibberish.
Ma Tianyu saw all that. He immediately ran somewhere else while the boy was flustered.
“Ma Tianyu…!” Mei Wei called out. She was not hostile towards the man and was just wondering why he ran somewhere else and even used his skills.
‘I can finally escape…!’?
Ma Tianyu used all of the assassin’s skills that could help him speed up to escape as he looked for monsters outside. Then, he immediately placed his head inside the mouth of a gigantic basilisk.
“Uaaaaaack!”
“Hurry up and bite me! Have a taste and enjoy!”
“Keuaack…?”
The basilisk looked at him incredulously.
‘Why would someone put their head in my mouth and urge me to hurry and eat them up?’
In any case, the basilisk bit off Ma Tianyu’s head just like he asked.
Crack―
And Ma Tianyu, whose head was inside the basilisk’s mouth, was smiling happily. He thought, ‘I can finally escape from that devil…!’?
[You have been forced to log out.]
Ma Tianyu was probably the only player that was so happy to be forced to log out. Mei Wei, who followed Ma Tianyu, could not understand the situation at all.
Meanwhile, the flustered boy continued to speak restlessly.
.
“It’s alright. Calm down, you can say what you want to say,” Mei Wei said.
Mei Wei was a woman that was skilled in talking to people with intellectual disabilities. Hearing her words, Conir, who was in a mess, finally calmed down and came back to his senses.
“Sell ramyeon! Eat ramyeon at my house!”
“Ramyeon?”
Mei Wei looked at him in confusion.
Then, Conir made a bowl of ramyeon not long after. Mei Wei liked ramyeon back when she still did not have anorexia. She used to eat it four or five times a week. However, the moment she saw the food made by the boy…
“Euuuuup!”
…she covered her mouth and ran away as she started to puke in the corner.
“Uweeeeeeeck!”
Her anorexia actually affected her even in-game.
“Sick?”
Mei Wei looked extremely apologetic when the boy looked at her suspiciously. The boy’s expression looked exactly like her younger sibling’s when he offered her the food that he made and she told him ‘It’s not that delicious’.
“The ramyeon that you made is great, but this noona can’t accept it. I’m sorry.”
“Don’t be sorry! Conir! Alright!”
It seemed like her sincere apology had been conveyed to Conir. Then, she heard notifications ringing in her ears.
[You have received Conir’s favor.]
[You have received Conir’s favor.]
[You have received Conir’s favor.]
[The Hidden Quest: Help Conir’s Business has been created.]
[Hidden Quest: Help Conir’s Business]
Rank: SS
Requirements: Conir’s favor.
Reward: The Most Delicious Ramyeon in the World.
Penalty for failure: Conir’s favor will decrease.
Description: The boy Conir is trying to reach the pinnacle of ramyeon. Help his sales increase.
“…!”
Mei Wei was shocked, especially when she clicked on the details of the reward ‘The Most Delicious Ramyeon in the World.’. According to the details, she would be able to increase all of her skills’ level by +1 the moment she ate it. However, it was not just that.
‘The best ramyeon that tastes better than any other ramyeon in Athenae.’
Mei Wei’s biggest problem was that she refused to eat. That was the reason why she was looking for Food God Minhyuk. From what she heard, his food was delicious enough to break and surpass the expectations of ordinary people. The doctor told her that eating such food would probably eliminate her reluctance to eat food. But, the most delicious ramyeon in the world?
‘I might be able to take one step closer to getting treatment.’
Even without that, Mei Wei would still be able to gain +1 in all of her skill levels as long as she ate that ramyeon.
The game Athenae did not give any SP easily compared to the other games’ leveling system. In this game, one should level up their skills by increasing the skill proficiency, or using SP obtained through special quests. However, it was extremely hard to gain such SP, so it could be said that they were very precious.
Then, Conir brought her some tissues. He said, “Conir is sorry for hurting nice noona! Noona, wipe your mouth with this!”
“Thank you.”
Mei Wei did not know why Ma Tianyu did something so ridiculous. However, there was one thing that she was sure of… Conir was a good boy and he might not even know how he got here in this entry passage.
Mei Wei, who had been wiping her lips, could not help but pause.
‘Huh…?’
She was surprised because…
‘Isn’t this a return parchment?’
Then, Conir took out more ‘tissues’ out of his arms. He said, “Conir. Lots of tissues! Don’t be thankful!”
“Hohohohohoho!”
What Conir took out were parchments that could be used in various ways. Mei Wei laughed. Conir might seem like a fool, but he had a good heart.
Mei Wei, who had not laughed at all ever since her younger sibling died, grabbed her stomach and laughed loudly.
***
[Player Minhyuk is searching for the location of the territory Atlas.]
A notification window popped up on the monitors of the Special Player Management Team.
Team Leader Park Minggyu rubbed his chin as he looked at the notification window. He said, “I didn’t expect Player Minhyuk to go to Atlas territory.”
Lee Minhwa was also paying attention to him. What he did was something that none of them had expected. Atlas territory was a place that was originally supposed to be owned by the Maestro of Destruction.
Lee Minhwa had also begun to read information about Atlas territory. Since the Special Players Management Team literally focused on the players, they lacked enough information compared to Athenae’s production team or management team. So, there were many cases where they had to read up on the information that they were lacking.
“You will be the master of Atlas if you score more than 90 points during the trial… Atlas will become the City of the Sky… But after checking, it doesn’t seem easy to score 90 points.”
Lee Minhwa quickly checked the rewards before reading on Atlas’ origin and power. Her eyes widened in shock. She said, “T…Team Leader…!”
Team Leader Park Minggyu looked at Minhwa and shook his head. It seemed like he had expected her to react like that. He said, “Yes, that’s right.”
Lee Minhwa was extremely shocked. Her voice was shaking as she said, “I can’t believe it but… Atlas was… originally the… Food God’s territory.”
Team Leader Park nodded.
“That’s why according to the territory’s ‘special characteristic’, if they set the trial to ‘farming’ then one could gain a power that no one can dare to imagine.”
Lee Minhwa looked up at him. If one was a normal and regular player, they would never choose ‘farming’ for the trial. The rewards and contents of the trial would change based on the trial that was set. But, if it was Player Minhyuk then…
‘There is a high chance that he will open up a lot of land and farm a lot of food which would then give him the greatest power.’?
***
[You have started exploring the territory Atlas.]
[The location of Atlas is marked on the map.]
Minhyuk searched for Atlas’ location and it was immediately displayed and marked by an arrow on the map.
The player could actually spread the map open and expand the radius from where they were. Maps were usually marked as ‘opened areas’ and ‘non-opened areas’. Opened areas were areas that one could go to without needing to check them, while non-opened areas were areas where one needed a special map before you could check and visit.
‘Unexplored…?’?
Through the map, Minhyuk could see that Atlas was still an unexplored site.
“Unexplored… There must be a lot of high-leveled monsters there?”
“Oh!?A chance to bomb our level up!”
With Minhyuk’s rapid growth, Legend Guild was eager to become stronger. They welcomed this fact warmly because they would be able to receive twice the experience and drop rate if they were the first to reach unexplored lands.
They went to the open village closest to the path that they could take to go to the unexplored land, which happened to be Held Village, a village right next to Dragon King’s Sea in the Northern Continent. They began their journey to pioneer the unexplored land through the coast of the Dragon King’s Sea in Held Village.
[You have entered the Dragon King’s Sea Coastline’s 4th Zone.]
[This is an area that has not been pioneered yet.]
[If you succeed in pioneering, you will be able to earn twice the EXP and drops.]
Unlike hidden dungeons, unexplored lands would give twice the rewards if they succeeded in completing the pioneering quest successfully.
“Kuhwiiiiiick!”
Monsters that they had never encountered before appeared in the 4th Zone. The monster was called ‘Jeweled Turtle’ and was a turtle that was large enough to be called a ship. The jeweled turtle’s shell was black like a shining black jewel. Just like a dragon, it let out a breath and had tremendously high defense.
[Your attack has failed.]
“Why the hell is this guy so strong?!!!”
“Shit! Can I even use my sword to hunt this guy or not?!”
Even the Legend Guild, the best guild in the country, was flustered when they saw that the jeweled turtle only had the basic level of 500. Its level might not be high, but it was not an easy mob to fight against because of its high defense.
Crack―
Minhyuk swung Diablo’s scythe. Thanks to its 8% probability of having a critical strike and the effect of the skill Intangible Sword, they were barely able to hunt the jeweled turtle.
Monsters above Level 500~580 continuously appeared, such as sea scorpions and ‘White Tooth Whale’. Legend Guild had no choice but to move slowly and carefully, especially because they had difficulties securing good visibility in the foggy coastline.
Their party continuously moved like that as they slowly approached the destination that was indicated in the map. Then, the fog cleared up in front of them as a huge island appeared.
“Atlas?” Locke said. However, the party heard a completely different sound from what they had expected.
[You have reached the closest point to Cairon Continent.]
[You have received 500 REP.]
It was none other than the Chinese Server.
