“Then how about this?”

“Chwiiik, what is it?”

The Orc Tribe Leader looked at him curiously.

“You should help me farm!”

“Chwiiik, chwiiik? Ah…… Suddenly, I feel that my body is aching. Chwiiik……”

“Chwiiik. I suddenly feel dizzy…… Chwiiik. I’m actually anemic.”

‘......Waaah.’

These lazy orcs!

All of them suddenly pretended and goofed off. They happily ate their meals but they were too lazy to move.

We’re naturally too lazy to move after we’ve eaten!

However, Minhyuk had expected this to happen to some extent so he said…

“Ha…… It can’t be helped then. I was thinking of making something for you again after I have finished feeding all the other monsters. This time I even wanted to let you taste something that’s more delicious than that beef but……”

“Chwiiik……? I, I’m suddenly filled with energy. Human…..!”

“Chwiiik? My dizzy head suddenly cleared up. My anemia is gone!”

“Chwiiik, chwiiik!”

Minhyuk chuckled at their antics.

They have already eaten Minhyuk’s food and were not feeling hungry at all. But just because they were full and wouldn’t need to eat for quite a long time did not mean that they wouldn’t want to eat something delicious.Furthermore, once Minhyuk left this dungeon then the orcs would never be able to eat his dishes anymore.

We may not be able to eat delicious food again until we die!

This was also the reason why they wanted to eat their last delicious food.

“Chwiiiiiiiiiik. What should we do? Human!”

“Hmmmm… Let me see… You should  fetch some water and water the seeds!”

In fact, the orcs were truly not bright! So he thought that these orcs should do the simplest task of watering the plants.

“Chwiiiik, but human, chwiiik. We, chwiiiik, don’t have any bucket to use.”

“......”

Minhyuk felt that he had run into some trouble.

“Chwiik, we haven’t used the buckets since 50 years ago so they’re all rusty and broken.”

“So you guys have one? What about pickaxes and hoes?”

“Chwiiik, we have them.”

“Bring all of them here!”

“Chwiiik? Okay.”

The Orc Tribe Leader and the orcs moved quickly as this thought ran through their heads.

‘Chwiiik. He said that he had to feed all the other monsters before he would feed us. Chwiiiik. I want to eat…… Chwiiik. Delicious food!’

All of them rushed to bring a variety of things including buckets, hoes and pickaxes.

Minhyuk triggered his repair skill on a bucket in front of him.

“Repair!”

[You have achieved the best repair for the bucket.]

[The durability has increased sharply.]

[It won’t rust easily.]

[It can now hold more water.]

“Repair!”

[You have achieved the best repair for the bucket.]

[The durability has increased sharply.]

[It won’t rust easily.]

[It can now hold more water.]

[You have gained 1 DEX.]

Two birds, one stone!

He was able to make the orcs help him and he even increased his blacksmithing proficiency and DEX.

“Get some water now. We need to finish quickly so we can eat faster. Those who will not work won’t get anything to eat!”

“Chwiiiik. Let’s go. Chwiiik, chwiiiik!”

The orcs began to move to gather water and sprinkle it on the plants.

‘Huhuhu. Alright. We can collect the ingredients faster this way.’

Minhyuk was doing something that no one else had ever thought of.

Doing a quest alone? No, what was more amazing was getting help from those special monsters!

With their help, his speed would definitely increase and his workload would be a bit lighter.

Then, a notification rang.

[You have gained 1 Charisma.]

‘Ho?’

Charisma was actually a stat that could only be increased by high-leveled users. The reason was because charisma was related to command, leadership and influence. In fact, it was truly quite hard to increase this stat in Minhyuk’s level. With high charisma a user would be able to garner loyalty or have the people serving under him to be more loyal to him. This would always come in handy whenever they were fighting against monsters, soldiers or other opponents.

Just like that, Minhyuk repaired everything in front of him.

“Repair!”

[You have achieved the best repair for the pickaxe.]

[The durability has increased sharply.]

[It won’t rust easily.]

[......best repair for the pickaxe.]

After finishing all of the repairs he searched for the next monsters that he would feed.

It was the ogres!

As he moved towards where the ogres were, he saw an orc falling as it ran excitedly. Minhyuk quickly reached out towards its knees and wrapped it with bandages.

“Bandage wrapping!”

[You have achieved the best bandage wrap.]

[The wound recovery has an additional 5% increase.]

[The recovery time has increased and became faster.]

“Ch, chwiiiik. H, human……”

The orc was overwhelmed with heartfelt emotions as it patted Minhyuk on his shoulder.

‘Hurry up and finish your work so I can eat my food. This orc bastard!’

Was what ran through Minhyuk’s head but the words that came out of his mouth was something completely different.

“Come on, let’s finish our work quickly so we can eat something delicious!”

Pat, pat━

Minhyuk patted the orc on its shoulder as he stood up to continue on his way. He was truly someone that was meticulous and cunning.

“Chwiiiik. I’ll work hard! Chwiiik!”

The orc ran back with two buckets in its hands!

[You have gained 1 Charisma.]

“Heehee.”

Minhyuk approached the ogres with a big grin on his face. He first went to the leader of the ogres, the Twin Headed Ogre! He first asked the Twin Headed Ogre about their preferences and learnt that unlike the orcs, the ogres were omnivorous.

Anyway, it’s better to feed them properly. Right?

Minhyuk grilled beef on his pan.

Sizzle!

A wonderful sound came from the pan!

Not long after, a beautifully done ribeye steak and chuck flap was done!

The Twin Headed Ogre looked curiously at the food that he had never seen before.

“Grrr. I’m hungry. Grrr……”

“Grrr. Is that delicious?”

The Twin Headed Ogre’s eyes were transfixed on the beef that was lying quietly on the pan!

“Beef won’t taste good if it’s overcooked. Here, try it!”

Minhyuk dipped the beef in salt and held it out for the Twin Headed Ogre to taste. One of its heads hesitated but still decided to put it in its mouth since it couldn’t resist its growling stomach any longer.

Then……

It looked at the pan.

Then, it looked at Minhyuk.

Once again, it turned its head to look at the pan.

And at Minhyuk again.

It kept on looking at Minhyuk and the pan alternately.

“Grr…… It’s really delicious. Grrr!”

The Twin Headed Ogre was in awe.

“Beef is always right! Do you agree?”

“I agree. Delicious, chew, chew!”

The Twin Headed Ogre quickly took over the pan and chomped on the beef that was on it!

Then, notifications rang for Minhyuk to hear.

[You have fed the Twin Headed Ogre.]

[The Twin Headed Ogre is really satisfied with the meal. You will receive better rewards.]

[You have acquired 1,823,151 gold.]

[You have acquired the Twin Headed Ogre’s Gauntlets.]

[You have acquired the Twin Headed Ogre’s Blood.]

[You have acquired the Twin Headed Ogre’s Hard Leather.]

[You have leveled up.]

[You have leveled up.]

[You have leveled up.]

[You have leveled up.]

[You have leveled up.]

[You have leveled up.]

[You have leveled up.]

[You have leveled up.]

[......leveled up.]

His level had increased by 15! And just like he had expected, his rewards were also better.

Minhyuk quickly checked the Twin Headed Ogre’s gauntlets.

(Twin Headed Ogre’s Gauntlets)

Class: Epic

Restrictions: Hand-to-hand combat, 700 STR, 500 STM

Durability: 10,000 / 10,000

Attack Power: 266

Special Abilities:

━ 20% increase in STR.

━ Skill: Ogre’s Rage

Another epic artifact!

But it was an artifact that Minhyuk could not wear so he decided that he would sell it and buy delicious food with the money that he would get from it.

‘There’s a lot of miscellaneous items!’

He had collected plenty of artifacts that the only thought that was going through his mind was to… sell it, sell it, sell it!

Then, he looked at the Twin Headed Ogre’s blood! This was an artifact material that could only be gathered from the Twin Headed Ogre. The probability of ever getting this item as a drop was completely abysmal.

Minhyuk quickly fed the rest of the ogres. He sat them in front of the fire and gave them meat to eat! It was a sight to behold.

[You have fed an ogre.]

[The ogre is really satisfied with the meal. You will receive better rewards.]

[You have acquired 5,141 gold.]

[You have acquired the Ogre’s Energy Belt.]

[You have acquired the Ogre’s Blood.]

[You have leveled up.]

[You have leveled up.]

[You have acquired the ingredient: Doenjangjjigae.]

As expected!

When the % of the fullness stat increased, another ingredient was acquired.

Minhyuk looked at the satisfied smiles on the ogres faces.

“By any chance, can you help me dig in the cliffs and get some nutritional supplements?”

“Grrr! You want us to do that?”

“We are ogres! Ogres!”

The Twin Headed Ogre snorted unhappily. They were far more arrogant than the orcs earlier. It seemed that they were truly unwilling to do crude work like digging up the cliffs.

“How can we dig the cliffs with pickaxes on our hands?!”

Then, Minhyuk said…

“I wanted to give you another meat party after I finished feeding all the other monsters…… And this time, the meat would be more delicious… but…”

“Grrr?!”

“Grrgrr?! A much tastier part of the meat?!”

The Twin Headed Ogre along with the rest of the ogres reacted excitedly.

“But it hurts our pride to do crude work and dig up the cliffs, grr!”

“Grrr. That’s right!”

But they still protected their pride.

Minhyuk looked like he did not know what he would do with them.

“Sigh…… The truth is, this is not about feeding you delicious food but saving your monster friends in monster paradise.”

The ogres were extremely conflicted! He said it as if it was an opportunity.

“We would do anything to help them!”

“Grrr. Of course we would help them, it’s not because we wanted to eat meat!”

“This is not because we wanted to eat meat!”

They quickly made an excuse for themselves.

[You have gained 1 Charisma.]

Then, the ogres quickly took the pickaxes and went to the cliffs to start digging.

Bang!

Baang!

After all, this was a game. And a game would definitely be based on a system.

The ogres that had no mining skills or DEX were much slower than Minhyuk. However, even if it were ordinary, they were still bound to mine something even if they allotted a long time to do it. What more if it were powerful ogres? And what if there were 30 of those ogres? It wouldn’t matter if they did not have the stat or the skill, they would still be able to mine quickly. They would definitely be faster than Minhyuk who was doing it alone!

Minhyuk continued to seduce the monsters into labor by feeding them like that.

“Let’s cheer up a little more. We’ll be able to eat delicious food soon!”

“Chwiiiiik. I will eat……! Chwiiik. Delicious food!”

“Eat! Eat! Eat!”

Everyone became a slave for food and moved under the command of Minhyuk.

Minhyuk had more than four things to do alone. He had to water the plants, dig the cliffs, plow the fields, plant the seeds, cook the food and so on. But with all of those things being done by the monsters, the time it took to finish those jobs were bound to be shorter. And he was able to fill the fullness quickly.

Minhyuk secretly checked the information about the monster egg.

(Monster Egg)

Rank: Unique

Race: Pet

Description: According to the fullness, the monster egg is now unique.

The monster egg had become unique! The most common named monsters in the field were rare monsters. And the next ones were unique monsters! But even unique monsters could exert a huge amount of strength.

What if I cook that unique monster egg in my frying pan?

‘Kyaa!’

Minhyuk, who even thought of eating a pet, was the true epitome of a foodie!

Meanwhile, he finally realized that he was running out of the seeds that he initially brought.

‘There’s a way to get a lot of seeds in a short period of time. Huhu.’

Chronicle only told him that the monsters in the monster paradise were not able to get out of this place. So that meant that it was possible for them to come inside this place.

***

TL’s corner!

I mean, he saw egg and of course he'd always think that it was for consumption. Hahaha!

PR’s corner!

Let’s add another animal comparison for Minhyuk: Snake. Silver-tongued is putting his sweet talking mildly…
