Apocalypse Reconquest Chapter 118
Episode 118
The fundamental reason for being liked by people, including innkeepers, is usually summarized as ‘that person has a certain level of curiosity in the field he or she is curious about.’
In a word, liking means that something about someone attracts the attention of another person.
The innkeeper is a man who follows this saying quite faithfully.
The innkeeper’s reputation work was really the kind of thing that only had to satisfy the innkeeper’s interests.
The innkeeper loves it when you show him unusual, interesting, and fun stuff.
And I would appreciate it more if you told me how to get that fun material consistently rather than just one-off.
‘I can give you everything.’
If I didn’t have the confidence to attract the innkeeper, I wouldn’t have even tried to come here in the first place.
There are many hidden areas and elements near Suwon. If you just take out a few of them, you will be able to use them to your advantage and attract the attention of the innkeeper.
Furthermore, to catch the eye of the innkeeper and become his disciple, you must prove that you are a person who satisfies the innkeeper’s food philosophy.
‘That means if you can present ingredients and dishes that can satisfy the innkeeper, you can achieve his vision.’
The reason he called the innkeeper was to show him Go Jeong-hwan’s ability to handle ingredients and cook.
“Why did you call me?”
“yes.”
“It’s nothing special, my coworker is also a good cook.”
Lay the groundwork to create a situation.
So that the innkeeper decides to teach the secret recipe to Goh Jeong-hwan.
“Huh? Come to think of it, there was someone who looked like he could use a knife.”
“I think that person is the one you are thinking of.”
Sehyuk and the innkeeper’s eyes briefly meet.
“I heard that the inn’s food is delicious. I’d like to show it to you and learn how to cook.”
The innkeeper’s mischievous smile grew deeper.
“With my mouth closed?”
“Of course not. I’ll bring you all sorts of magical ingredients. Leftovers from cooking.”
“oh!”
At those words, the innkeeper laughed heartily.
“How did you know that my hobby is collecting various ingredients and researching recipes using them?”
“There were a lot of good liquors on the walls of the inn. When I asked the bartender, he said they were made by the inn owner.”
This is also something I asked in advance for the base.
The smile never leaves the innkeeper’s face.
“You know what I mean. Then I’ll be looking forward to seeing what kind of ingredients you bring. Sehyuk, you know all sorts of secrets, so I’m really looking forward to it.”
“I won’t disappoint you.”
After finishing the conversation with his new colleagues for the Suwon King Plan, Se-hyeok called Go Jeong-hwan, who was training outside.
Together we will gather materials to satisfy the innkeeper.
“Then, are you going to travel by jeep?”
“No. He said he would lend it to me.”
After saying that and waiting for a moment, one of the staff members in charge of serving inside the inn ran out.
“Sehyuk? Follow me.”
Follow the staff’s directions and head to the back of the inn.
Behind the inn was a large field and a fenced-in parking lot that appeared to be for private use.
And the two people couldn’t help but be shocked when they saw the car the employee had guided them to.
“This is….”
“tiller?”
A cultivator taking up a large space in one of the parking lots.
Unlike other cars that are relatively dusty, it is very shiny as if it has been used often.
“Even though it looks like this, this is the guy the innkeeper rides the most.”
“But it’s a cultivator!”
Go Jeong-hwan shouts in confusion.
The employee gave Sehyuk the car, or rather the cultivator key, without any response.
“I don’t know. I’m just following the innkeeper’s orders. I’m sorry, but our inn has a policy of unconditionally taking complaints to the innkeeper.”
The staff’s eyes turn to the two.
Well, what can the lower ranks do?
Since Go Jeong-hwan was a person who understood that fact, he climbed into the driver’s seat next to the cultivator without saying a word.
Sehyuk also gets into the driver’s seat.
And the performance of the cultivator was beyond imagination.
The smooth ride of a cultivator that starts to extend as soon as you step on the accelerator.
When turning sideways, the level of body shaking was as stable as that of a sports car.
It looks like it’s been heavily modified, even though it’s called a horse.
A thought boils deep in my heart.
This huge tractor might just be powerful enough to cruise down the road.
Sehyuk pressed the accelerator harder.
Boooooooo!
A cultivator that runs smoothly and explosively.
Trees and fields pass by in an instant.
“Can you run like that? What if you get bounced off?”
Go Jeong-hwan, who was sitting next to me, looks embarrassed.
“It seems okay. This one has pretty good performance.”
“That’s true, but….”
A cultivator that runs at a speed of over 100 kilometers.
Go Jeong-hwan looks out the window anxiously.
Worries become reality.
“Hey! Hey! There’s a broken bridge ahead! We have to stop!”
After a long period of disaster, a section of the river bridge collapsed completely and appeared before them.
Go Jeong-hwan was fidgeting and couldn’t shake the driver. It was dangerous.
But at the same time, Sehyuk had a gut feeling.
With this car, I could probably jump over that broken bridge.
“Hold on tight!”
A speed meter that goes up in an instant.
A cultivator soars through the air, unleashing a tremendous amount of explosive power.
The engine’s roar and the sound of the wind become one.
Go Jeong-hwan, riding next to him, is slightly pressured by the speed.
“What the heck, what kind of modifications have you made!”
* * *
thud!
The cultivator, which landed lightly on the other side of the broken bridge, simply continued on the road.
It was truly an ultra-cultivator.
Go Jeong-hwan was so out of it that he didn’t say anything for a while.
Run on the road.
Driving along the road with some stability, when we almost reached the end.
Se-hyeok spoke to Go Jeong-hwan.
“Do you remember what I prepared before you came?”
“Yeah. Because I practiced hard.”
Since I am the person involved, I told Go Jeong-hwan the plan in advance.
Go Jeong-hwan makes a nervous expression.
“The innkeeper, the hotel chef.”
“That’s right.”
“Can I satisfy such a person?”
As you can see from the fact that he created an ingredient guide, he is a hotel chef and a passionate culinary researcher.
He also ran a video channel with a little over a million subscribers.
At this point, it’s true that you could say he’s quite a famous person.
But that also shows that the innkeeper is not a closed-minded person.
“Anyway, this dish is about showing your creativity and passion for cooking.”
What satisfies him is the variety of ways he uses materials and the deep exploration of new and unusual materials.
It is a virtue that even a fixed exchange rate has in abundance.
He has cooked numerous monster byproducts to feed Sehyuk and his party in real life.
In addition, you will also obtain Sehyuk’s secret recipe ingredients.
“Then that’s good.”
Goh Jeong-hwan leans back in his chair with a relieved expression.
“And I know that your cooking is more than enough to satisfy that person.”
“Thank you for saying so.”
You travel around here and there, gathering materials and then moving on the cultivator again, and you gather materials in the wild.
We cut mushrooms off of giant spore bugs, and we burst the seeds of giant oil-filled carnivorous monsters to extract oil that can be used as a substitute for cooking oil.
We also take a few plants that remain green all the time, growing on the green hill where the ghost cave was located.
The dish I was making this time was going to use really unique ingredients to create a flavorful dish that would steal the innkeeper’s heart.
With materials that will show that Go Jeong-hwan is knowledgeable.
‘I’ll show you a dish you’ve never seen before.’
Sehyuk already has a heavenly recipe in his hands.
A strange food fairy that never existed in this world.
To be exact, it is a drink made by simplifying the production method to make it more popular, but Fairy Wine is the best drink of the Fairy Tribe.
No matter how you simplify it, it is a dish that the innkeeper could not have imagined, and it contains such ingredients.
And even if we simplify it, one material that is far superior to the original is already in Sehyuk’s hands.
Because Sehyuk is growing the world tree.
And now there’s one more tree.
The other one hasn’t grown yet though.
Add a new dish to add some extra points and you have a superb meal.
It is obvious how the innkeeper, who is an ingredient lover and food enthusiast, will react when he sees this.
So, after gathering the ingredients, only the last ingredient remained.
Sehyuk rode the cultivator well and stopped in front of a mountain.
This time, we flow into the forest where even the path has disappeared.
A forest that looks like it hasn’t been touched by human hands for a while.
Sehyuk and Go Jeonghwan turned several mutated monsters blocking their path back into dust and headed deep into the mountains.
A special barrier extends across a certain section of the outer mountainous area near Suwon.
The identity of that barrier is one of the many points leading to the other world, such as the spirit world or the underworld.
“That’s amazing.”
Go Jeong-hwan touches the barrier, which is like a transparent barrier that looks completely invisible on the outside.
Sehyuk held the Dimensional Adjuster and breathed magic into it to draw a barrier.
There are several ways to break through the barrier, but it is easiest to do so with the power to manipulate space.
If you have the [Spatial Link] trait, which the Dimensional Adjuster also has, you can easily break through these barriers.
A sparkling blue scar remains on the transparent barrier.
Sehyuk grabbed the wound, opened it, and went inside.
It was similar to reality, but the fog was thick enough to block the view of the surrounding scenery in the distance.
This is the midway point between the real world and the other world.
The monsters that live in these mid-points usually differ depending on which boundary they enter.
Fortunately, the monsters here are relatively weak.
A translucent variety of animals roams through the forest.
If you look closely, it has a rather familiar shape.
“cow?”
“Yeah. Maybe something like antimatter.”
Before the regression, it was often called Schrödinger’s cow.
They are weak monsters, so they are easy to catch.
However, processing it is a bit tricky.
Due to the nature of antimatter, it disappears if it does not go through the correct process.
That doesn’t matter though.
Because I took it all into account.
Sehyuk looked at Goh Jeonghwan.
Because if you use the fixed ring’s ability, you can process it sufficiently.
“Then I’ll give it a try.”
With a determined expression, Go Jeong-hwan drew his sword and rushed at the cow.
The moment of surprising the innkeeper by treating him to a meal is just around the corner.
Preparations are almost complete.
