Chapter 133 (1/2)

Some time passed and Joseph was sent back to Fortren again. Now there was one week until the Colosseum fight with Zhen Sulong. It might seem like a long time but I had to prepare. As I plowed the fields and planted new crops, my strength and agility increased slightly.

Now I was squatting while making the diced mandragora kimchi. The setting sun colored the fields. The cubed mandragoras pieces were mixed in large basins. The world here didn’t have the gloves for making kimchi so I was currently touching the cubed kimchi with my hands.

“This is bullshit. Why are there no rubber gloves?”

Maybe it was natural but it was still annoying. In reality, rubber gloves were readily available but this world was different. Even so, I couldn’t help being angry.

Crunch.

“Spit. It isn’t tasty.”

It was because the fish sauce hadn’t been added yet. Kerenos, who had gone to buy the fish sauce, was so late...

“Hiyah! Whoa whoa.”

It was the sound of horseshoes. It sounded like Kerenos. He had gone to Windia next door to buy fish sauce but probably ended up running errands after meeting the lord. He stopped in front of me and I asked bluntly, “What took you so long?”

“Sigh. They didn’t sell the fish sauce you mentioned in Windia so I went to Fortren.”

“Hmm, really?” I felt sorry that he went all the way to Fortren but I didn’t show it.

He handed me something. “Here is the angelfish’s fish sauce that you wanted. I worked very hard to obtain this.”

[Angelfish’s Fish Sauce]

[Rating: Deluxe

The angelfish which live in the shallow part of the massive Atlan sea are salted fish.

Eating it is like flying from the sea to the sky and it has a good effect on energy.

-If you eat it steadily, the probability of getting various diseases is decreased.

-If you eat it steadily, your strength stat will permanently rise slightly.]

“Um, this is right. I’ve been looking for this.”

The Angelfish’s Fish Sauce was first developed by Alexus. He used it in many dishes but perhaps I was the first one to use it in cubed kimchi. Fortunately, it still existed 500 years later. I immediately scooped two tablespoons of it and scattered it over the basins repeatedly. Due to the large quantity, I had to use a lot of fish sauce.

Finally, the desired message came up.

Ttiring~

“Oh, I got a decent dish.”

There was no option for the weather blessings since I didn’t use Solar or Punghee but the efficacy was still great. It reduced the probability of getting various diseases and also cleared abnormal states. It was temporary but it was a 3% rise in all stats. However, the most notable thing was the increase in the strength stat. It was also permanent.

“It is only one time... I can’t miss it.”

I took a bite-sized piece of radish kimchi and ate it.

[The metabolism of your entire body is activated.]

[Your energy will slightly improve.]

[The strength stat has increased by 8.]

“Ahh. It rose by eight points.”

It might be a virtual reality but it really felt like my energy was improved. I handed a bite to Kerenos as well. Yet why was this rotten guy spitting it out?

“Old man, what is this? It’s so spicy.”

“Shut up and eat. It is good for your energy.”

“Ah... Cough cough. Really?”

Kerenos silently put the diced radish kimchi into his mouth. Strangely, he seemed to like it after gaining a bit of strength. I put one basin in my inventory. It wasn’t easy to make so it would be a shame to leave it behind. Then I ordered, “Go and share these with the villagers.”

“Huh? Me? Isn’t this a lot?”

“Yes, I need to leave for a while.”

“Why all of a sudden? Where are you going?”

“I have something to do in Fortren.”
