    Chapter 107: The Birth of the School of Fast Eaters


    Trantor: ChubbyCheeks


    PR: MattForgenti


    34 The Birth of the School of Fast Eaters


    Minhyuk first looked through the fullness of the monsters in front of him before getting ready to feed them. Currently, their fullness is at 0%.


    In addition to that, he could also see an egg that was suspended in the middle of thend. He assumed that this was the egg that he was supposed to receive as a reward. He quickly checked the information about the monster egg.


    (Monster Egg)


    Rank: ?


    Race: Pet


    Description: Its fullness has not been filled yet so it''s rank has not yet been decided.


    Minhyuk nodded his head in thought.


    ''If I raise their fullness to a high degree then I will be able to get a good monster. Then I''ll crack that monster egg and fry it!''


    He chuckled brightly as he looked around the area.


    There were plenty of different kinds of monsters in this ce. There were orcs, ogres and owl bears. There was also a flying wyvern and a giant Vx anaconda. There were truly a lot of them.


    But what was more important was that there were bosses among them. There was even the Orc Tribe Leader that he had hunted before! There was also the ogres attacking boss, the monster halfling, Head Ogre!


    Minhyuk gazed at this vast and barrennd.


    "Shall we start?"


    He changed the shape of Ellie''s Sword into a pickaxe.


    This was the first time that he would use his intermediate farming after a long time.


    (Intermediate Farming)


    Passive Skill


    Level: 1


    Effects:


    — Collecting and digging for materials and ingredients will be 60+60% faster.


    — 30+30% chance of acquiring better ingredients when digging.


    — 2+2% increase in chances of acquiring special ingredients when digging.


    — You can grow various things by nting seeds.


    Currently, he had three skills that improved because of his DEX. The bandaging, cksmithing and repairing, and farming skills. Among the three, his farming skill had the lowest level. His proficiency in farming was difficult to increase and he only had a chance to do so if he received quests like this. But it seemed like this was a great opportunity to increase his proficiency.


    And contrary to Chronicle''s disappointment, Minhyuk was one of the best farmers. Even though his intermediate farming was only at Lv1, he could exhibit x2 of its power.


    In fact, the most conclusive evidence was his 1,000 dexterity points. After all, this was still a game. His DEX would have a huge influence in all of the skills that were rted to it whether it was seeding, nting, or cultivating nts and trees. With the influence of DEX, any nt that he had farmed would grow at an astonishing pace unlike in reality.


    However, this was the first time Minhyuk would ever nt something by himself. He didn''t know how much strength and power he needed to exert so he could plow the ground. And the very first thing that he needed to do was to plow the fields.


    "Feeding these monsters will give me ingredients!"


    That thought alone fueled Minhyuk''s enthusiasm. He quickly used his transformed pickaxe from Ellie''s sword. Once he looked at the ground he could see a red mark. He used great strength to hit the ce that was glowing red.


    Bang!


    The ground was easily tilled. He continued to swing his pickaxe a few more times.


    Bang!


    Bang!


    Bang!


    Surprisingly, the ground was tilled and evenly divided.


    "Hoo."


    It was a shocking sight especially for someone like Minhyuk who was doing it for the first time.


    Minhyuk began to plow the field in earnest. He plowed the field for one or two hours without stopping.


    He might not know this but novice farmers would take about 10 minutes just to plow the field and make one ce to nt a seed. But Minhyuk could make five in the same amount of time.


    Tap!


    Tap!


    Tap!


    "Ah, I want to eat snacks!"


    Minhyuk plowed the fields as he imagined thedies and old women with trays on their head as they shouted ''Here''s your snacks!'' to the farmers just like in the movies.


    How good will it be if I can sit by the shade of the tree and drink makgeolli while I eat some snacks!


    "Kghk!"


    He continued to plow the fields as he imagined an amazing sight.


    Bang!


    Bang!


    Bang!


    And as he continued to plow the field, he finally heard a very wee sound.


    [You have gained 1 DEX.]


    [You have gained 1 Will.]


    His lips naturally curled up in a satisfied smile.


    Bang!


    Bang!


    Bang!


    Another set of notifications came up!


    [You have triggered the Skill: Will.]


    [All of your skills and abilities rted to DEX will temporarily be increased by 27%.]


    Minhyuk''s pace began to elerate.


    Bang!


    Bang!


    His sessful digging of the soil had increased. If he used to get one sessful dig for every 4~5 digs then now, he was able to get one sessful dig for every 3~4 digs.


    Chronicle''s only concern was that it would take at least two people to be able to fill the fullness stat of every monster in this ce. The only reason was because two hands would always be better than one.


    However, she did not know that Minhyuk''s DEX was extremely high and that he would disy a huge amount of concentration and enthusiasm whenever something rted to ''food and something to eat'' was on the line.


    Bang!


    Bang!


    No matter how fast his speed was at making a room for a seed, he would still not be able to finish it in one single go.


    Chronicle had told him that he could travel freely to and from thend of Salov. This meant that even if Minhyuk had 200 seeds it would not mean that the quest would finish with that. He could also see that the number of monsters in this ce was quiterge. He estimated that he needed at least 500 seeds to be able to fill all of the space that he had.


    Bang!


    Bang!


    Then, another notification came in.


    [You have acquired the Apostle''s Rewards.]


    [Your Intermediate Farming''s proficiency rate has increased by x2.]


    "Hooo?!"


    That''s right. This ce was a ce for the Food God''s ss quest but it seemed like it was also the ce for the apostle''s ss quest. But the power of the apostle had be his so it was only natural that his rewards would also be his. And unexpectedly he was able to increase his intermediate farming at a speed that was quite fast!


    Bang!


    [Your Intermediate Farming has leveled up.]


    [You have gained 1 DEX.]


    He continued to dig and plow thend without taking any rest.


    ''I wonder what ingredient wille out every time I feed them?''


    The reason why he was so absorbed and into this task was because he wanted to feed the monsters quickly and eat the delicious rewards!


    Time continued to flow.


    5 hours, 6 hours, 7 hours had passed.


    But Minhyuk was not tired at all. He was even able to make room for 500 seeds in one go.


    Then, he went ahead and nted the 200 seeds that he had acquired earlier. He also took some water from the nearby river and sprinkled it evenly on the newly nted seeds.


    The work couldn''t look so refined since he was doing the work for two people. But he watered it carefully even if he wascking enough sleep. He also made sure to chant a spell while he watered the seeds.


    "Grow seed! Sprout!"


    After he finished watering all 200 of the seeds, he went straight to the cliffs. If he dug up in the cliffs then he would be able to get nutritional supplements. Once he arrived at the cliffs, he could see red marks! Minhyuk urately hit these red marks.


    Bang!


    Bang!


    Just like when he was mining for iron ore, he could easily acquire the nutritional supplements in just one or two swings.


    [You have acquired Nutritional Supplements.]


    Minhyuk checked the information about the nutritional supplement.


    (Nutritional Supplement)


    Material Grade: C


    Special Abilities: Can promote growth of seeds.


    Description: A nutrient that can help the seeds grow healthier and faster. One nutrient can help promote the growth of ten seeds. The effect can be stacked.


    "Hoo?"


    The effect could be stacked!


    This meant that the seeds could grow faster and healthier if he applied plenty of nutritional supplements on it.


    However, it seemed that Minhyuk had too much to do that everything seemed too difficult. Minhyuk collected 20 nutritional supplements and used it on the seeds immediately.


    [You have used a Nutritional Supplement.]


    [The seeds will grow faster.]


    Minhyuk did not pause to take a break and immediately went back to the cliffs to dig for more.


    Bang!


    Bang!


    [Your Intermediate cksmithing Skill has leveled up.]


    [You can now smelt minerals.]


    When Minhyuk listened to the notifications, he cleared his throat as he began to sing while he continued to dig for nutritional supplements.


    And it wasn''t just simple singing. Back in the Kingdom of Barras, he also went and learned ''Beginner''s Singing''. He just wasn''t able to use it since there wasn''t any need for it.


    But the Beginner''s Singing had some connections with farming. Whenever a song was sung, seeds would be able to grow faster.


    Minhyuk began to sing as he dug for nutritional supplements on the cliffs.


    "Bingsu-yah~ patbingsu-yah! I love you, I love you!"


    [You have sung the best tune.]


    [The seeds will grow faster if they listen to your singing.]


    [You have gained 1 DEX.]


    In fact, Minhyuk was not really that good at singing. However, the power of 1,100 DEX was far reaching and was even able to take care of his singing! He kept on singing happily.


    [You have gained 1 DEX.]


    [You have acquired a Nutritional Supplement.]


    Since he was singing and digging at the same time then his DEX was bound to increase at an extremely fast rate.


    "I like milk, I like milk, please give me milk. Please give me more!"


    "Dead~ drunk~ huh? I want to eat gondrebap……"


    Minhyuk hesitated for a second! But he never stopped and continued to dig on the cliffs.


    And the Orc Tribe Leader that was weakly leaning on the wall as he struggled against his hunger, mumbled while he watched Minhyuk''s figure.


    "Chwiiiiik…… H, he''s a strange human…… Chwiiiik, all of his songs starts with food and ends with food. Chwiiiiik……"


    The Orc Tribe Leader shook its head weakly.


    ***


    Chronicle slowly woke up from her light slumber. As soon as she came to her senses, her worries red up and she fidgeted distress.


    This ce was truly a happy paradise for monsters. Monsters that usually would not get along would get along and coexist happily here. The wyverns would even sometimes y with the orcs on their backs. The strong and ferocious ogres would even lend their hands whenever the orcs were lifting something heavy. This was such a happy paradise in and on itself and it was all thanks to the previous Food God and apostle.


    However, the descendant of the Food God right now was far more immature than the previous Food God when he came here. He even came alone without his apostle beside him.


    ''I just wish he could save half of us but……''


    It wasn''t an easy task. He had to do so much work alone. And he only had two weeks to finish them all.


    ''Did I sleep for a day?''


    Originally, Phoenixes were sleepy monsters that was why they could sleep for quite a long time.


    With that thought, Chronicle slowly opened her eyes.


    ''I would be d if he''s already done with plowing……''


    Chronicle stretched out her curled body and looked down with her majestic head.


    "This……?"


    An expression of disbelief was painted across her face.


    There were 500 seeds nted on the plowednd before her. And that wasn''t all, these were all well-grown seeds that looked like they were bound to bear fruit any time soon. In addition, the Food God was currently near the cliffs and was still digging up nutritional supplements.


    Bang!


    Bang!


    Bang!


    Every time his pickaxe hit the cliffs, a nutritional supplement would drop.


    "M, my goodness……!"


    Chronicle had seen the previous apostle before but the current Food God was much more skilled and had better mining capabilities than him.


    The seeds had grown this much in one day? Is it because of his abilities? No, that''s impossible.


    The Food God was drenched with sweat. He looked like he was extremely exhausted but he still did not stop from swinging his pickaxe. He was even singing happily.


    Chronicle watched him with trepidation.


    "D, don''t tell me……!"


    Did he feel pity for those little starving monsters? He must have not slept or taken a rest just to save those monsters! I''m so thankful!


    Then, at that moment…


    A growing seed had finally borne fruit.


    ***


    [Chronicle''s favorability has increased.]


    [Chronicle''s favorability has increased.]


    [Chronicle''s favorability has increased.]


    "......Huh?"


    Let''s just quickly feed the monsters and get something delicious!


    Minhyuk who was thinking about such thoughts was taken aback when he suddenly heard the influx of notifications.


    "I see, there''s a bug again. Hmm……"


    Why did I suddenly receive these notifications when I''m just digging up on the cliffs and thinking of the delicious things that I will eat?


    Then, Minhyuk heard another notification.


    [Your Unknown Seed has borne fruit.]


    [You can now harvest the fruit.]


    "Ho?"


    He turned his head and looked back at the fields. When he turned back, he was shocked.


    "Heok?!"


    Something came out from the seed that grew. It was hanging from a long stem when it suddenly cried loudly.


    "Kkiiiiiiiiiiiik!"


    It was a pig.

    [gondrebap] The line with the gondrebap is a pun. Dead drunk is ?????? (gondremandre) while ??? (gondre or KR thistle) is a nt that can be added to rice. Usually served as a temple dish.

    Gondrebap (????) - gondre is a naturally growing nt in the mountains of Korea. Usually found near temples. It is added to rice. Gondre needs to be soaked in water since its stems are tough but it has a tea-like aroma when it''s cooked.
