Chapter 73 (2/2)

“For the glory of Mudur! Kuweeoh!”

The orcs struck their chest with their fists and paid tribute. I didn’t know it before but I knew it now. Their actions were what Mudur did in his lifetime leading the orcs. Perhaps their greeting methods had become rigid after 500 years.

Sizzle.

Once the top was cooked, Solar came down to the middle. It roasted evenly around the tower like an orbiting sun. As it finally descended, I grabbed Solar’s face and started to roast the lower part myself. Solar’s face was as red as a tomato. “Ack! Don’t pull my face too hard!”

“I’m sorry. Endure it a bit more.”

“Ack!”

Every time I heard Solar’s screams, the fire grew a bit stronger. I adjusted the distance and waited for the outer part to cook properly. Once it was finally roasted, a delicious smell rose. The orcs were already drooling but there was still a long way to go. I had to cook the inside as well. I pushed Solar inside the tower. It moved up and down and started to roast the spider legs.

“Let’s make a sauce now.”

I took the floating pot out of my inventory. It hadn’t been used in a while and was a bit dusty. I wiped off the dust and cut the vegetables. It had also been a long time since I used Dicing. The water from the vegetables filled the pot. I skillfully made the sauce while asking Gorba, “Hey, Gorba. Dip it? Or pour it?”

The sauce I was going to make now would be similar to the sweet and sour sauce. That’s why I asked about dipping or pouring that my grandchildren taught me the other day. [1] However, Gorba didn’t know this.

“Chwiik? What is this?

“Do you want to dip the sauce or pour the sauce when eating?! This guy!”

“Guruk. We don’t know because we always eat raw food. Chwiik.”

Damn. Indeed.

“Then I’ll just pour it!”

Please note that I was in the dip faction.

[The first apostle, ‘Prometheus,’ is drooling.]

[The first apostle, ‘Prometheus,’ is telling you to keep cooking.]

“What nonsense. Be quiet because I already know!”

[You have received the apostle’s buff.]

[All stats have increased by 20%.]

This guy was using his buffs all over the place. He wanted me to pay attention to the cooking? I quickly finished the sauce and headed to Solar’s location. I got there in time as the inside had just become perfect. It was like a steamed crab. “Gorba, put me on the palm of your hand!”

“I understand, Brother. Chwiiik.”

Saliva spilled from Gorba’s mouth. Uh, dirty guy.

The pre-made sauce was poured over the tower. I had to leave some behind because I was going to dip it. Thus, there were some parts I didn’t pour the sauce over. I would eat it when I served it. I poured the sauce roughly. Finally, the cooking was finished and the message popped up.

[Please decide the name of the dish.]

“Name?”

This had never happened before. A similar phrase had appeared when I cooked the superior quality dish for Flora. I recalled it was a ‘theme’ at the time but now it was a name? Well, this wasn’t important. I roughly named it. “Roasted Ten Layers Spider Legs Tower.”

Ttiring~

[Specialty! Roasted Ten Layers Spider Legs Tower!]

[One of the keys to success in the orcs’ lives is eating good food and fighting hard.

The dish that seemed to have been made unintentionally and without care will awe the viewers.

Sometimes a rough, handmade dish can be a huge hit.

The Weather Chef’s original idea for the orcs is revealed.

-Star Taste: ☆☆☆☆☆

-Expiration Date: Five days.

-Health Recovery: 500. Magic Power Recovery: 500.

Efficacy: If this dish is eaten by humans, strength will double like the orcs. If this dish is eaten by orcs, all stats will increase by 20%.

50% more damage will be dealt to spider-type monsters during the day.

Maximum health is increased by 50%.

* Sun’s Blessing: Strength, defense, fire damage, and fire resistance increased by 50%.]

“...Amazing.”

I didn’t know there would be a higher grade of food than superior quality. I was blank for a moment at the unexpected situation. Then another message emerged.

[The first specialty dish has been created!]

[The recipe for ‘Roasted Ten Layers Spider Legs Tower’ has been registered.]

[Now you can easily make and deliver specialty dishes at any time.]

Ohu. I subconsciously smiled as I checked the recipe. The specialty dish was created by me. As long as I had the ingredients, I could make it quickly at any time. Another message came up.

[Would you like to teach the Roasted Ten Layers Spider Legs Tower to the orcs? Once taught, your name will be known to all generations of the Blue Tooth Orcs and it will be designated as a tribe speciality.]

Hand over the dish? There was something like this? I was once again amazed by the freedom of Arkstar. I never thought I would be able to teach dishes to non-human monsters. The problem was the matter of my name. After a moment of contemplation, I made a decision. “Yes, do good things and leave my name behind. This is fine.”

I asked Gorba to call over the smartest orc. The other orcs were rapidly devouring my dish. A short time later, an orc appeared and I taught him the dish I made.

Ttiring~

[The ‘Roasted Ten Layers Spider Legs Tower’ has become a specialty of the Blue Tooth Tribe.]

[The first specialty dish has been handed over.]

[Your fame has increased by 5,000.]

[The more creative your specialty dish, the more special the events that will occur.]

Many messages appeared as I turned my attention once again to the dish I made.

“Phew, I’m hungry. Now I should eat... eh, there’s none?”

The meal I made was gone. The many orcs, including Gorba, were touching their bellies and laying down.

[The first apostle, ‘Prometheus,’ is shedding tears.]

[1] In Korea, people are split into sides on whether to pour the sauce or dipping the sauce for sweet and sour pork
