Chapter 2 : Operation Acquire Food

After the night of celebration, Weed left Morata along with Seoyoon and Alveron

”Froathered asto in advance

He eneral direction and the paths he had to cross

But food supply was the one thing he needed thewill the food last?”

Shuffling through his bag, the food supply that was always filled to more than a certain size was frozen in one piece Nowhere in that piece remained essential food

At the Morata Festival, he could only spend it all on villagers eating and drinking in large quanitites

Fortunately, the alcohol bottles were still there

Before leaving the Yoroki Mountains, he plucked and i there, it silently ripened

But Weed shook his head

”Alcohol will not fill the fullness factor”

Alcohol cannot fill one's storee of fullness, but there was a problem As the amount of alcohol rises beyond a certain point, decline in strength and agility In more severe cases, disabled in battle! In the worst case scenario, you

'Still, later on drinking just a glass will be fine'

In life, alcohol is absolutely a useless thing! However, alcohol also had its advantages In Royal Road, after getting attacked, it doesn't end with only just a teive i bandages Also, when there is swelling in the wounded area, it has the effect of disinfection that will help prevent additional daainst the cold When it's cold, drinking about a cup of alcohol will allow you to withstand the cold much better

'I can't use this precious alcohol Conceivably, when it matures quite a bit, I'll be able to receiveas they were, Weed went to obtain food

Sarak

Terose felt refreshed stepping on pure white snow

'Finally the beginning of our resurrection'

The ihtly

”It's very cold here”

Dane covering his face with a robe spoke

”It's fine Fighting arues that believed in him and followed hiht for sure”

Scorpion King's To Guild disbanded, but the people that forht Bearer Marker assault Captain Bastien The elite of Cri Guild hid their name, switched armors, and took part in Frozen Rose Guild's expedition

Fro in the world they wanted was totried to directly set up their own expedition group But bad things happened all at once and the situation continued to worsen Guilds seceded from the alliance As a result, the towns they held were attacked fro's To

This chain of bad events was enough to crash Criuilds in Versailles Continent As a result, the guild inevitably had to disband The heads re it to the death, but the slowly cruuild was seen to not even number in the tens of thousands

'But ill rise once again'

Terose wanted to regain his honor and revive Cri

'The place will be the North'

To reverse everything and revive the guild, the expedition!

'To return the continent to normal is our responsibility that cannot be passed to anyone'

Terose smiled coldly

The expedition led by Frozen Rose Guild was still in trouble They confidently brought a large number of people, but all kinds of probleht aell in the early days of the expedition To raise the ive the up their spirits

To Oberon and Druh supples to not be overburdened But the aredients used by the expedition was beyond ifood the cooks o you have to eat good food”

”Yeah It was a good idea to follow the expedition There's a reason Frozen Rose Guild is faave their thanks as they reasoned about the nauild

Cooks also beca the delicious food we , we must imprint on to them that the Cook Job is iredients aren't even ours so let's use to our hearts' content!”

The cooks, due to the abundant food ingredients had peace of mind and instead of what they usually created, they dared to develop novel fine cuisine

”Matsutake mushroom and crab dish!+”

”Snail in honey!”

Making good food i mastery even redients to ave a positive reaction, they didn't hesitate

Ingredients were rapidly consu the supplies should've stopped the supplies were coet food materials anytime ant”

”Captain Oberon did order us to raise e quanities as they want”

They did nothing even though the food ingredients were decreasing very rapidly When they realized the reredients had been reduced to aled a bit

”From now on, save a little food before the redients”

”Right noill be better to generously fill the inventory stock”

Then the big probleredients in the cold North In the mountains of the center of the continent, chestnuts and acorns, fruits like apples were readily available, and they could even hunt

Even if there was a food shortage that made their stamina decline or stiffen their movement, cases where they died from starvation were quite rare Withtravelers But in the North, because of the cold they couldn't get fruit It was also impossible to obtain food from travelers

Inevitably, the only option left was to hunt, but this was a formidable task The monster infested areas were limited It was unreasonable to provide food for theIt could only be attributed to the the iredients rapidly decreased, the morale of expedition fell as well Food quality declined and the situation of saving food to eat later came up Not only did the quality of food drop, they had to save as ry”

”Please bringin hunger! If they started off poorly in the beginning instead of stopping in thewell, in theory it would be ry Frozen Rose Guild took the initiative and starved themselves

However, even in the midst there were those that did not starve They were not part of the elite Frozen Rose Guild There was no way the righteous and highly respected Oberon would give them permission to eat their secretly packed food

The Geomchis! Geomchi 306 pulled out barley bread that had been hidden away in his backpack and secretly chewed Old, cold, hard and frozen bread, but as saliva ently dissolved

”No matter what, barley bread tastes best”

Ever since starving to death, they decided to always have a plentiful aenerously went in their backpacks Basically, in Royal Road was an inseperable relationshi+p between the Geomchis and barley bread

However, a majority of the expedition was forced to endure as they clutched their empty bellies They realized this fact at the end of such a failure

'Difficult to find food in the North Must conserve food ingredients as much as possible'

Weed eather as h seasoning reredients

”No choice but to hunt”

Weed in the past thoroughly set the principle of local procure to payup food ingredients for a long time in one place will just end up rotten and uneatable, that's law

”Alveron, let's go!”

”Yes”

Using Alveron like a subordinate, Weed e

Woof oof!

Aooooooo!

Usually wandering like lost souls in the e, Wolves! Their wild instincts sparkled as they acted in packs eating animals nearby, however, the Wolves trembled at the advent of Weed

'This wicked bastard'

'He's looking at us as food'

'He ate our parents My mother met her end at his hands, he didn't even leave the leather Woof woof'

'My brother got cooked whole He has returned'

Weed's high fighting spirit!

It had the effect of decreasing morale of monsters similar to or lower than his level In addition, Weed hunted Wolves several tih intellect and excellentthe , the Wolves did not forget the cruelty of Weed and trembled in fear

'Still, we are wolves'

'To protect our pride'

Woof oof!

The Wolves rushed as a pack while Weed lightly drew his sword

”Moonlight Sculpting Blade!”

The enhanced and definitive version of Sculpting Blade! A sword of serene light With a far longer range, Weed brandished the sword of light and slaughtered the Wolves Weed's level could not be coinally weren't even considered as opponents

”Slaughter!”

He separated bones, ht on the spot

Seoyoon siently told her

”Don't just stand there and watch, help h her eyes expressed the feeling of sorry was passed She felt sorry for Weed suffering alone in this cold weather, but if the Wolves did not attack her first, she would not attack them Weed shook his head

'This person can't be called an ally'

Soh power, because if she just folds her arht, it won't be helpful The predicah to put pressure on hi powerless is a sin, Seoyoon's fighting ability was far superior to Weed's

Weed was still struggling in the early level 300s In order to proceed with the quest, he inevitably had to give life to sculptures so his levels hadn't risen

'Wouldn't have rant life to sculptures'

Though he hunted hard in the recent months, because of this reason his level didn't rise Still, while his level went up and down, various skillhit by hness a lot

Weed'sstat and skill mastery built up substantial foundation, so it wasn't soht like no inco monsters But Weed surmised Seoyoon's level was at least in the late 300s

'Maybe even over 400'

Hermes Guild's Bad Ray unveiled his level at his coronation Surprisingly, his level was revealed to be no less than 412 In Royal Road and on the Internet, there was a lot of excite the amount of time passed after his level was known to be in late 300s, his level up speed was still fairly rapid

'Probably because the guild is herding monsters for hi benefits'

Actively utilizing supplies and equiprounds Blacksmiths crafted for him and Bards were always on standby In addition, inblow to thesupport, it was no surprise his fast leveling speed reaames There are a lot of forces that would follow hiic, those who followed Bad Ray were very common

Weed did not clash with Bad Ray because he was the first to quit the gaic was one of the top 5 Warriors and his guild was the strongest force there According to an unconfirmed rumor, his actual fortune was so enormous you could hear the sound of wealth

The scene of Bad Ray revealing his level at his coronation brought about a large topic in the Hall of Faame broadcasters treated it as a major news issue Furthermore, the revenue of bars in Versailles Continent increased by ood at whatever he does”

”We sloalk and he just flies off the shelves quickly”

”I'm still level 357 When will I be over 400?”

Bitter soreness!

Crowds tried to resolve their so called bitterness with alcohol Immediately known up to the present, Bad Ray recived all their attention King of the Continent Officially naed for supremacy ith his ability apparent Of course, Hermes Guild's scale and breadth of their forces had just as many eneh not as strong as Bad Ray, users with the level to restrain him numbered at least a dozen people There was also quite a lot of tension between Herainst Heruild alliances, eh not as desired, all users in Versailles Continent focused their attention on Bad Ray They all envied the strongest on the continent Such was the person Bad Ray

'Dark Gamers Union revealed combat videos Compared to the Mercenaries in the late level 380s, Seoyoon was by far stronger The monsters the Mercenaries took quite a while to hunt, Seoyoon wouldon theto the hunt, a speed difference was bound to occur But even when considering those points, Seoyoon was far stronger than Weed himself

'Between a minimum of 390 to beyond 400 It probably won't stray too far fro co Combat abilities rarely went counter to his eyes' intuition As such, he couldn't force Seoyoon to do this and that He needed to make her into a companion ould help hiet beaten by a girl!'

Weed spoke in an insinuating tone passing through Like aself-preservation food!

”You never ate Northern Wolves before right?”
