Minhyuk’s eyes were glittering brightly and his mouth was watering. He was so excited that he ran towards the chocte tree as fast as he could.
When he reached the tree, he finally realized how big it was. He looked so small as he stood beside the gigantic chocte tree. Looking up, he could see the infinitely sweet choctes that were hanging on every branch of the chocte tree.
Minhyuk slowly stretched his hand out to touch the chocte tree.
[You have found the Legendary Chocte Tree.]
[You have gained 30 reputation points.]
[The first and second chocte that you will harvest will be even more special.]
[Once you harvest two choctes, you will be able to acquire the chocte tree.]
[When you harvest the choctes, you will also be able to acquire the Sacred Branch of the Spirit King.]
“Oho.”
When Minhyuk read thest notification, he was quite sure that it was the artifact material that Card was talking about. The Sacred Branch of the Spirit King.
Minhyuk focused his strength on both his legs and jumped. He snapped off two of the choctes that were hanging on a branch of the chocte tree. Suddenly, the color of one of the choctes started to turn white.
[You have acquired the Legendary White Chocte.]
[You have acquired the Legendary ck Chocte.]
[You have acquired the Legendary Chocte Tree. You will be able to harvest plenty of choctes from the chocte tree every day. The chocte that you obtained from the chocte tree is much more delicious than normal choctes.]
[To harvest chocte from the chocte tree, you only need to think of Harvest Chocte and you will be able to acquire the choctes.]
After the notifications ended, the giant chocte tree in front of Minhyuk started to shrink until it turned into a chocte tree that could fit in one of his hands. Then, it immediately went into his inventory. Minhyuk did not waste any time, he quickly checked on the information of the things that he acquired
(The Legend’s White Chocte)
Material Grade: Medicine
Special Abilities: ━ Heals the diseases and injuries of a person on the brink of death
Description: This is the white chocte that has an amazing power, it can only be harvested from the Legendary Chocte Tree. The taste is, of course, extremely delicious.
(The Legend’s ck Chocte)
Material Grade: Medicine
Special Abilities:
━ STM +100
━ WIS +100
Description: This is the ck chocte that has an amazing power, it can only be harvested from the Legendary Chocte Tree. The taste is, of course, extremely delicious.
Minhyuk shook his head happily. Then, he harvested the normal choctes from the chocte tree.
“Harvest Chocte.”
[You can only harvest 20 pieces of chocte per day.]
[The amount that can be harvested today: 20/20]
Minhyuk only harvested one first, he would harvest the rest once he went out of the dungeon. A chocte fruit appeared in front of him. The chocte fruit looked like it was an apple and the color was exactly like that of a chocte. He also checked the normal chocte that he harvested from the chocte tree.
(Chocte Tree’s Chocte)
Material Grade: D
Special Abilities: ━ There’s no chocte that is much more delicious than this in all of Athenae. It is so delicious that you will never stop biting on it.
There weren''t any special abilities from the chocte that could be harvested daily from the chocte tree. After all, it wouldn’t make any sense if it had special abilities. However, it was already amazing that one could harvest chocte from it every day.
‘There’s no chocte in Athenae that is much more delicious than this…...!’
Minhyuk smiled brightly as he ced the chocte in his mouth.
“Chew!”
A thick and sweet vor slowly spread in his mouth. The chocte was so sweet and thick that he couldn’t stop himself from continuously chewing and putting it in his mouth. Sometimes, when someone ate chocte continuously, they would get tired of the taste and stop from eating. However, just like what the description has said, you will never stop biting on it.
It feels like I’ve been charging my sugar battery with chocte after quite a long time? Or maybe, this is what Changwook felt like when he wanted to sell his soul to the army just to eat chocopie!
“Keuha!”
Minhyuk’s lips were smeared with chocte. After he finished eating one, he couldn’t help but think…
‘The legendary choctes probably taste the same as the normal chocte from the chocte tree. I’ll use the ck chocte for the brownies and I’ll keep the white chocte in my inventory for the meantime.’
Although Minhyuk loved to eat food, he thought that there would probably be a day where he would still need to use the Legend’s White Chocte.
[You only have 5 seconds left until the entrance closes. The countdown will now begin.]
[5 seconds, 4 seconds, 3 seconds, 2 seconds, 1 second.]
After the countdown ended, Minhyuk was immediately warped out of the dungeon and appeared outside. Once he went out of the mines, he saw Lee Sangmin and the rest of the members of the Horde Guild being taken into custody. They disappeared along with the soldiers of the Empire.
“Ellie left earlier.”
“Yes.”
Minhyuk could see that Hyemin’sDad was waiting for him. Hyemin told his dad that Minhyuk promised to give him the best tasting chocte in the world. He was really thankful to him.
“Ah, wait! I received the artifact material!”
Minhyuk has already checked his spoils as he was walking out of the mines so he was able to easily pull out the Sacred Branch from his inventory. The Sacred Branch was a branch that has an unusual color.
Hyemin’sDad immediately checked the Sacred Branch that he received. Once he finished checking, he was stunned speechless as he looked at Minhyuk.
***
Hyemin’sDad had a look of disbelief on his face.
‘Don’t tell me Card knew about the material grade of this material?’
Card was the 2nd in the cksmith’s ranking and the thought of him knowing the material grade of this artifact material quickly shed through his mind.
When he thought about it, Card was someone who was influential and popr so he was wondering why he was ovee with greed to do things like that. However, once he saw the description of this material, he understood the reason why. Of course, if he was the one who knew about it he would never do something so cruel and horrible.
The grade of the artifact materials were simr to the grade of the cooking ingredients. Their grade rankings start from D until SSS.
As a matter of fact, there was no SS or SSS grade material that has been released or found in the country. The Dragon Sword that Hyemin’sDad made before was made from the bones of the ancient dragon. The material was only ranked S. The only reason Hyemin’sDad was able to make an extremely amazing artifact that shocked the world was because of his strength.
At that time, he thought that the effects and options of the material were the best but right now he considered those S grade materials as his lowest criteria when choosing materials for an artifact.
Just like the Spirit of Gryphon that he acquired not long ago, it was also an S grade material. It has much better effects and optionspared to the material he got for the Dragon Sword so he thought that he could make something much more amazing.
Then, the Sacred Branch appeared in front of him. This was an SS grade material and was of the lowest rank among the SS grade materials. He heard that some materials like this were released abroad but since the servers were not yet merged he was still not able to find the best artifact material in Athenae. Although this material was the lowest among the SS grade materials, its effects were more than enough to fit that grade.
(Sacred Branch)
Material Grade: SS
Special Abilities:
━ +10~12% increase in all stats.
━ +60% increase in Magical Defense.
━ You can include all 5 attributes and properties in the artifact.
━ There will be a sharp increase in your spirit affinity.
Description: A sacred branch that was obtained from the Legendary Chocte Tree from Chocte Paradise. This branch contains the power of im, the King of Spirits.
‘I really can’t believe that it came out.’
Artifacts were not made with only just a single material. It could only be made through the smelting and joining of various materials. And all those materials had various abilities and effects. In addition, the effects that would be written in the description would depend on the person who made the artifact.
The figures listed on the material’s description might not necessarilye out in the artifact but the likelihood for such numbers to appear was quite high.
“I believe I can make you a satisfactory frying pan with this. I can finish it by the end of today.”
He would be able to finish the artifact quickly since he would just be adding the Sacred Branch to the almost finished frying pan.
“Yes. I understand.”
“Are you going back to Ron’s smithy?”
“Yes. I’m going to make brownies there.”
Minhyuk’s face was filled with excitement. He was like a child that finally got the toy that he was wanted.
***
Minhyuk said goodbye to Ruan, Leton and the other miners and quickly made his way to Ron’s smithy.
As soon as he arrived at the smithy, he quickly started his preparations to make brownies.
Making brownies was not that difficult. He only needed to prepare the chocte, butter, sugar, vani extract, eggs, all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt and powdered sugar.
“Finally, the chocte……!”
Hyemin arrived just in time while Ron looked at Minhyuk seriously.
“You’re going to give me some this time, right……?”
Minhyuk also thought that he should give Ron some food this time. Because he felt like he would cry if he did not give him any!
He first melted the butter in a hot water bath then once the butter was meltedpletely he added the sugar, vani extract, and the well-beaten eggs and mixed them well. After he mixed them well, he sprinkled the mixture of all-purpose flour, cocoa powder and baking powder over the mixture with a sieve. Then he mixed it well. After mixing everything well, he would bake the brownie mixture in an oven that was preheated to 180 degrees for 20 minutes.
Before Minhyuk came to the smithy, he first went to the bakery nearby and borrowed an oven from Helo-ssi.
Minhyuk ced the brownie mixture that was ced in a baking pan and set the timer.
“I can’t wait to taste these guys.”
“Me too!”
Hyemin also smiled excitedly. Minhyuk rubbed her head once and stood in front of the oven to look at the brownies.
He made a lot of batches of brownies. One of the batches was made with Legend’s ck Chocte. He did not forget that cooking the medicine grade ingredient would give him additional effects.
After 20 minutes.
The ding! sound rang loudly in the smithy.
“Yayy!”
Minhyuk grinned widely as he pulled the brownies out of the oven.
The brownies that were fresh out of the oven might burn their tongues if they ate it right away so they had to cool it down for a bit. And if you tried to cut the brownies before it cooled down then it would probably break!
Once the brownies have cooled down, Minhyuk carefully cut them into bite-sized pieces. Then he sprinkled some powdered sugar on top of them. The powdered sugar fell lightly on the brownies, they looked like snow falling down from the skies.
“Then, let’s eat!”
“Yeah!”
“Right!”
Ron followed Hyemin and nodded his head along.
Minhyuk picked the one made out of Legend’s ck Chocte. In fact, everything tasted the same so he didn’t cheat Hyemin out of anything. Before he started eating, Minhyuk pulled something out of his inventory and ced it on the table with a thud.
It was none other than a barrel that was filled with 10L of iced americano.
“......Is this filled with americano?”
“Yes!”
“......”
Ron was left speechless.
That’s a huge amount of americano!
Of course, for Hyemin, he prepared a cold ss of milk.
Minhyuk poured americano in a cup then put the slightly warm brownie in his mouth.
“Waaaaaaaang. Chew!”
As soon as he chewed on the brownie, a soft and sweet vor slowly spread in his mouth. The more he chewed, the stickier and chewier the chocte brownie had be. Then, he sipped some iced americano with a straw. The bitter americano amplified the vor and sweetness of the brownie and showed the best taste that it could have.
“Delicious!”
“Hyeminie also thinks it’s delicious!”
Hyemin was eating very well now. Minhyuk smiled at her. He was extremely happy that the Hyemin who got scared of eating due to the side effects of the treatment was eating again. He also hoped that she would continue to cherish these delicious things like this brownie.
Once he finished eating all of the brownies made with Legend’s ck Chocte, a series of notifications rang in his head.
