Нам Сон: Legendary Moonlight Sculptor Volume 11

“Where are we and where to?”

“What about our way back?”

Geomchi475 and Geomchi503 manly voices seemingly shuddered.

Taken to a place in hopes to witness vampires, but arrived at some random place in which they were unfamiliar with. At this point in time, if they had seen a monster, they’d be too intimidated to fight. With an unknown quest or adventure while situated in an unfamiliar location, the feeling was like being a blind man being pushed into a river!

Not only the fear, but the confusion came along with it was a major crisis.

Though Weed had a simple solution to the problem.

“Lets eat!”

“Wooohohoh!”

Hunger for a meal!

All craving for kimchi.

“Give me something delicious!”

“Love some sweets, like chocolate.”

“Whipcreams on them doesn’t hurt.”

“Who here don’t want some meat as well, hm?”

“A drink here don’t sound too bad…….”

Immediately the nervousness that once filled this party faded away; with happy expressions on their faces, they mimic plump-faced pigs, each and every one of them. And as pigs, food was now the main topic. Though the teachers themselves didn’t express their desires, their opinions didn’t seem to differ. Geomchi3, Geomchi4, Geomchi5 seems pleased.

“What kind of food you’re going to make?”

“The wait will be boring, but…gotta have patience for delicious foods.”

“Foods Drinks!”

“Wooo!!!”

Seechwi gave out a groan.

“Oh my God, if everyone were like these people, I’d be out of a job.”

All of her theses about psycho-analysis regarding the complexity of the human minds would be abandoned if all humans were as simple as the ones before her!

Falling into the depths of hell just to eat pork was not the way of human natures either!

But there were hopes amongst these hopeless-es that kept Seechwi from going insane. Pale, Zephyr, and Maylon were of the general population, and were troubled by the situation.

Pale asked Zephyr in a serious demeanor.

“What are today’s meals?”

“Can the items we get in Todeum be use as ingredients?”

“Of course. Possibly.”

Hwaryeong clapped with absolute delight.

“Weed-nim is so good at cooking; we don’t have to worry about a thing.”

“……”

Again, Seechwi was troubled.

‘They’re also not normal.’

As written on the POD before one enters the game. To go down in history as one of the heroes that bears the danger of exploring unknown territories, high Leadership is required:

Not giving in at the face of any crisis shows the will of the mind.

Unrivaled spirit.

Unsurpassed comradeships.

Having quick wits and being decisive.

It was even more essential to explore the Kingdom of Vampires. However, the conclusion drawn after watching Weed during the time was that it was difficult to match him to a heroic stature. Seechwi basically gave up and said.

“He’s leader probably because of the levels; but those Geomchis and I can probably match his levels!”

Seechwi, after all, was just another human.

After some time had elapsed, Weed brought out the dishes.

Zara Soup! (Turtle Soup)

They had brought enough ingredients before leaving Morata, just needed to cook them.

“The ingredients in this were Zaras, and this very dish represents growth. You know how you’re on all fours at night begging for it to ‘revive’ like a turtle, but when you look down and it was still shriveled like a turtle? This will completely revive the ‘VIGOR’ of a man…keuheuheu!”

Weed began to sugarcoat the dishes before him. At the end of the appealing demonstration, a boisterous laugh!

Having been through a year as his class being a sculptor, he learned how to hype things up and a show of confidence was a must.

‘Being a cook is the same. The LAW — delicious food will become more delicious if you give them a taste beforehand.’

A vote of confidence from the chef was a must to heighten the experience.

“OHOHH yeah!”

All of the Geomchis rushed to get their Zara soup servings. While they should have kept in mind of the possibility of lacking ingredients for the future, they didn’t leave a single drop of soup leftover.

“Kkeoeok!”

“Awesome!”

They thoroughly enjoyed the soup. They each chow down 3 servings per person; even in a place such as the scary Kingdom of Vampires did nothing to dampen their appetite. Especially when the words ‘reviving vigor’ were mentioned! Even though Pale and Zephyr didn’t discuss about it, they consumed the turtle soup diligently.

“Bon appetite…will not leave a single drop.”

Maylon was the next to be encouraged; thinking about women’s side, Weeds words were different.

“Similar to the turtle’s longevity, Zara Soup will stop the aging process of skin for 20 days……”

“Please give me! Do it fast!”

“Plenty of it please, Weed-nim!”

Irene and Romuna interjected. Surka on the other hand was still too young to be bothered with skin care. Of course, no one knew whether the aging process would halt for 20 days if consumed, since it was pretty much impossible to tell otherwise. But taking care of oneself on any day of the year will be rewarded!

Even if you felt like you were duped, no point being unhappy over the situation. Since the girls spent so much time in Royal Road, using skin care products became a second priority; though the girls hesitated.

As if he saw through their doubts, Weed gave his words a final nudge.

“Eat right after serve. It’s a must! Only then it’ll be effective…”

With that said, the girls devoured the foods greedily.

However, Mapan knew of a terrible fact behind this feast.

During the time shopping for food.

Although it was up to Mapan, as he was of the merchant class, to procure foods and handle the loads of shipments during the trip; it was up to Weed to decide on the ingredients since he was the cook most of the time and knew what to choose to obtain everyone’s shares.

“Are 17 Zaras good enough?”

Weed nodded deeply.

“Yes. Being advanced cooking materials, each one of them costs 3G(G=gold), so we don’t have the luxury of eating them as much as we want.”

“But considering the group we’re going with, are they enough for 500 plus people?”

“Possibly.”

“Even with Weed-nim’s cooking ability, I doubt serving 17 Zaras to this group along with Geomchi’s will be difficult.”

Making Zara Soup was not only difficult, acquiring enough to not leave anybody out was even more difficult.

Weed gave a weak laugh.

“Storing live Zaras will also be tough, maybe this amount is fine.”

“Yeah, will it be alright?”

“We will probably be ok on the first day in the Kingdom of Vampires, and eat them on the second. Depending whether we’ll face any danger along the way, but saving them for too long means the effectiveness of the Zaras will decrease.”

“So it’s best to buy a lot of Zaras…….”

“No.”

“Huh?”

“If we do that, what will we do with the extras we won’t eat?”

“……”

Weed began preaching as if he were a professional chef.

“The profit margin of high class cuisine is excruciating! Making more than enough is not optimal, and investing too much in ingredients is not recommended. But which is worse, letting the Masters suffer the death penalty without the foods or making them pay 5G per meal?”

“No sir, those choices are too tough.”

The Geomchis group generally was very poor, due to the fact the money they’ve gathered were used to change weapons or was invested in gears. And rather than hunting mobs for items, they killed one and went onto the next immediately to become stronger without a care for drops. The thrill was in the hunt; the tougher the challenge, the more they enjoyed the game.
