Chapter 10.1
Trantor - ChubbyCheeks
When eating soy sauce egg rice, there are people who preferred to break the yolk over the rice but Minhyuk personally liked half-fried egg over his soy sauce egg rice.
Just like that, he cooked five eggs in his frying pan and without turning them over, he opened the lid of his pot to check on the rice.
Shwaaaa—
Steam came out of the pot.
He then ced his five freshly cooked half-fried eggs on top of the rice.
Then he continued to fry more eggs.
Wouldn''t everyone agree that one of the biggest charm of eggs was that it could be fried without any additional seasonings?
Minhyuk continued to add the additional five eggs he had just fried in his pot. He personally prefers to have about three fried eggs per bowl of soy sauce egg rice.
He then poured soy sauce in his spoon.
One spoon, two spoons, three spoons.
He poured the appropriate amount ording to the amount of rice he cooked. He then opened the lid of the sesame oil. The savory scent floated around with a swoosh~ and stimted his nose as he poured it in.
Then…
Guuulp—
He swallowed back his drool that was flowing out.
Swish swish swish—
"Mix with your left hand~ mix with your right hand~."
Minhyuk mixed the ingredients in his pot diligently as he hummed his song.
The colors of both seasonings after adding the appropriate amount gave a stark contrast. After mixing it properly he could see a nice golden sheen.
He scooped arge mouthful with his spoon.
The whole point of eating a big spoonful of soy sauce egg rice was to taste that salty and savory vor that canpletely subdue your hunger after one bite, right?
He chewed his food carefully.
"This is delicious…! Wow, this egg is really tasty as expected!"
Minhyuk was very happy to eat his soy sauce egg rice.
If I have kimchi, kkakdugi, yeolmu kimchi or seasoned peri leaves [1] as side dishes then it would be like an icing to the cake.
Minhyuk finished four bowls of soy sauce egg rice in the quickest time possible. Then…
[Your fullness has increased to 100%/6]
"Hmm?"
Minhyuk tilted his head in confusion. He never heard a notification for this before.
He felt a sense of foreboding from the system prompt.
This ominous feeling.
''What is it?''
He had no choice but to stare at it in puzzlement.
***
User Minhyuk has reached 6 in his fullness stat.
Team Leader Park, who received the report from Lee Minhwa, moved in a hurry.
"What? He just ate soy sauce egg rice? With that golden egg?"
"Yes."
"Kgh, in the end we still came to this point. It''s a really surprising ''no'', right?"
Team Leader Park continued to talk.
"Increase User Minhyuk''s user level by 1. Once he reaches 7 his ''trial'' will begin."
Trial.
It was basically a test that a yer needs to pass to receive the God ss.
There were two types of trial, the announced trial and the unannounced trial.
In Minhyuk''s case, he would be subjected to an unannounced trial.
If the yer couldplete it then he would get it and if the yer couldn''tplete it then he wouldn''t be able to get it.
Lee Minhwa looked strangely (?) pitiable when she checked the details of the trial.
"This trial… is very hard toplete."
"It''s hard. Generally a person needs to exercise for an hour to digest 10,000 calories, and if a person ate around 40,000~50,000 calories then he needs to exercise for 4~5 hours."
"Wow… 4~5 hours. As expected of a God ss, it has the toughest conditions."
"That''s right. No matter how much they love eating, most of them are toozy in reality. I have to work out so I can eat. That is the point of the trial, to see whether he has the perseverance to challenge the God ss. However, do you think anyone would exercise for 4 hours each day just to eat? I don''t think it would be easy for him."
"Bu… But… it''s him."
"You''re wee to have your own opinion."
"He was the user who continued to strike the scarecrow so he could eat bread, remember?"
"Yes."
"That''s why I don''t think he''s azy person."
"Is that so? Well, we''ll have to wait and see. The first trial is always the hardest so we''ll have to see if he can make it."
Team Leader Park''s eyes were narrowed sharply.
"That''s the only problem."

The ingredients that Instructor Roina gave Minhyuk were the same as before: rice, potatoes and gochujang. She also handed him a letter and a handkerchief.
"Please give these to the Instructor."
"I understand. Also… Instructor Roina…"
"Yeah?"
"The next time I send over a message I want to request flour and frying powder as the ingredients."
I can fry chicken with the frying powder.
And does flour need any more words for description?
''I love flour~ huuuu….''
However, Minhyuk''s expectations were soon shattered. Roina''s eyes were narrowed in a slit.
"....Do you hate it?"
"Eh? Wh— why?"
Minhyuk looked like he lost everything in the world.
"You really want to eat fried chicken, huh."
Flinch!
Minhyuk''s facade was ripped by the words that were straight to the point.
Oh my god, the protector knows about fried chicken.
"While I was working here, I often heard people say ''Oh that chicken is running.'' or ''If we catch that chicken and eat it won''t it be a very good profit?''. People usually call it fried chicken."
She was a woman who knew how to do business.
"You have to save the most delicious for the end, when our deal is over. Huhuhuhuhu."
"Kgghk. You''re very meticulous."
"Go on ande back quick."
"Yes!"
Minhyuk kept on thinking about their conversation.
Right, I have to save the best forst!
I''ll eat that chicken when I get out of here.
It''s a real delicacy to make with that golden chicken.
Minhyuk chewed on a bread as he made his way to where Instructor Valen was.
He arrived shortly.
"Give me the reward, you NP…"
"Get lost."
As expected of Instructor Valen, anyone would shake at his coldness.
"Instructor."
"Oh, boy, what are you doing here?"
"I really missed the Instructor. I couldn''t stand not seeing your face everyday."
"Hoho, this friend''s mouth is still as smooth as ever."
"He… To be honest… Instructor Roina asked me to pass this on to you."
"Roina?"
Valen''s expression stiffened for a moment but he quickly straightened it out.
He smiled a little.
His eyes drifted towards the letter and the handkerchief that Minhyuk gave him.
He quickly checked the contents of the handwritten letter.
"That''s very much like her."
This was what the letter said:
[Loyalty [2]. This is Roina from the 3rd squad. My greetings to the squad leader.]
That was the end of the letter.
"Wait, Instructor you didn''t have lunch yet, right?"
"That''s right."
"Let me cook spicy braised chicken for you."
"Hoo?"
Minhyuk loved to eat to the point where he wanted to eat everything all by himself.
However, he knew the difference between the people he''s grateful for and people who took advantage of him.
On top of that, he was also a bit reluctant to leave right away after doing his job.
Besides, the reason why I can cook is because he lent me the tableware and cooking utensils.
"Ah, could you also give me some hard bread, please?"
"...Boy, why don''t you take my house too? Haha!"
It was a matter of fact that he had another purpose.
With that, Minhyuk started making spicy braised chicken.

Footnotes
[1] kkakdugi is cubed radish kimchi, this is delicious. The radish is cruncy and with the spicy and sour kimchi base hmmmmmhmm. Yeolmu kimchi on the other hand is young summer radish kimchi. I haven''t tried this yet but I''m pretty sure that what they use was the greens instead of the radish itself.
[2] ?? : Loyalty, faithfulness, fidelity. Used by soldiers to greet their superiors. Every soldier should be loyal to their superiors so they greet using this.
TL''s corner!!!
Re: Trial types… Are any of you aware about these types of trials in rpg? I only yed a mobile rpg and there''s nothing like this so…. I
I decided to stick with announced and unannounced.
Also… Team Leader Park, don''t be so sure all the time. You''ll definitely get crazy once he gets it. ^^
