The Heretic Chef: Exaworld Online
The Great Cuisine
『 Level has increased. 』
Having killed hundreds of goblins, his experience points rose very quickly. Currently Nier had already reached level 12 and Lucia had reached level 14.
The higher the level the player will be the more difficult it is to gain experience points. Nier had once reached level 40 by killing level 50 monsters alone, the difference in levels certainly made the experience points even higher.
Suppose Nier is level 0 and he is up against Iron Bear who is 10 levels above him, because the difference of 10 levels of experience he gets will be multiplied by 10.

Nier grinned at his status, among all his status only Dark Energy changed, he used to be confused because he didn't know how to increase his Dark Energy, he said, but who would have thought that every time he leveled up his Dark Energy would increase by 10 points.
'But is there no other way but to level up?'
This status was very important for Nier because almost all of his skills required Dark Energy points, in contrast to Mana Points that could be replenished using potions, which were not available for him, Dark Energy could not therefore he had to wait for him to regenerate himself and that was long enough.
Nier looked at the large pile of goblin meat he had in his Inventory, the meat he had obtained was so much that his Inventory was almost full. It seems like this time hunting produced a lot of meat.
"Lucia, are you hungry?" Nier asked while throwing goblin meat from his Inventory, seeing that its shape was already disgusting especially if eaten.
"Not really, do you want to cook that meat?"
"Yes, but not this ugly meat," Nier tossed and removed all the goblin meat from his Inventory and continued, "But not here we have to go to town first to buy the cooking ingredients..."
"Yasuda let's go, I also want to buy some potions."
Lucia nodded then stood up, Nier also followed her and the two walked side by side towards the city.
* * *
At the city gate was a crowded atmosphere, various people started to arrive and leave, as well as the new players this time were even denser than the previous ones.
"Lucia, do you know why more and more players are playing this game?" Nier asked curiously.
"No, I know this month is the most of the last 3 months."
"3 months? you've been playing for 3 months!? But why is your level still so low?"
Lucia nodded but did not say anything else. Nier knew it seemed like Lucia was hiding something, but rather than asking her further, she would rather be quiet.
Seeing Nier remain silent and no longer asking, Lucia became calmer. There are some secrets that no one else should know.
Nier did the usual thing, selling all the Items drop to the adventurer guild then went to the alchemy shop to buy some potions, he also approached the grocery store, he bought 5 sacks of sugar, salt, salt, and a variety of other spices that it all directly spent the money.
Nier returned to meet Lucia who was now in the garden, she was looking at the colorful flowers and her face also looked very comfortable.
"It seems you like flowers a lot." Nier walked over and sat down next to him.
"Well that's it, so how? Are you gonna cook here?"
Looking around and there were very few people, Nier nodded. What he saw in this park were all couples. Nier is a little jealous because she never had a boyfriend in her past.
Nier recalls a bad memory of her High School days, when she expressed love for a girl but she immediately rejected it by saying something that left her heart deeply broken, the girl Nier loved only liked someone who had a lot of money.
Nier used to be a good and smart student, but his finances were mundane. When Nier was sad at that time the next day his heart was blessed to have been with someone else who was wearing a luxury car.
"Ekhem, stop looking at me.."
"I'm sorry I thought a little bit about something.. Let's do it here"
Nier took out his stove, pot, and knife.
Seeing his inventory Nier took out 10 pieces of meat and started cooking them like he used to.
"Why did you enter AGI Potion?"
"Look at it later.."
Lucia notices all of Nier's cooking process and 30 minutes later the cooking is complete. Nier gives 1 serving to Lucia.
He already knew the taste of the meat that Lucia was eating, he saw Lucia's expression begin to constrict but he still swallowed the meat.
Gulp
"You, what-what are you giving poison?" Lucia asked with glassy eyes.
"No, I'm sorry that it feels a little weird.."
"My Agility status increased by 5 points, is this the influence of your job?"
"It seems, can you help me cook?"
Lucia nodded and asked with a suggestion. "Why don't we cook so much? I see you can enlarge your items."
"Wow, now that you say it, I forgot that there was such a feature. Dark Stove and Dark Pan increase by 3 meters! is this enough?"
"It looks like we've got, let's put the meat in first!" Lucia is so excited.
Nier put 50 meats in it and distributed spices to Lucia
Lucia looked confused by what was in front of her.
"It seems that in order for the meat to be sweet we have to include sugar.." Lucia nodded.
"seems like? Meanin?"
Lucia put 1 sack of sugar in the pot.
"W-What are you doing?" Nier asked a little nervously.
"Because this pot looks so big instead of having to put in a large amount of sugar as well?" Lucia asked with a slight tilt of her head.
"Err, it seems so..." Because Nier didn't know what he could only nod.
"If it's too sweet then it's not too good, let's add salt too!" Lucia took 1 sack of salt and put it all in the pot
"Ohhh, like that. How about sauce? Are we gonna put it in?" Nier takes the sauce from Inventory and shows it to Lucia.
"It looks interesting, let's put it in!" Lucia picked up 10 bottles of sauce and stuffed them again.
"Is this how you cook? Why does it look so different from what I imagined?" Nier saw Lucia put almost all the ingredients into the pot.
"It looks like it's ready!"
"Wait, put this in too!" Nier shares HP, STR, and AGI Potion.
"You're right!" Lucia looked excited then threw the contents of the Potion into the pot.
"Lighten the fire!" They both shouted with excitement.
Nier looked into the pot, and the contents looked a little strange - a lot of colorful contents inside the pot.
15 Minutes later, the smell of the meat started to come out. But the smell was a little strange, he did not know what kind of smell this was.
30 Minutes passed the meat was also not cooked, probably because of the large portion.
45 Minutes of system notification tells him the meat is ready.
Nier and Lucia approach the pot and open the lid.
Woshhh
Thick smoke came out from the cooking and it made his eyes sting a little.
"Wait, what's with this weird smell?"
It's not very smelly, but it's very thick and feels heavy in his lungs.
"It's okay, you don't know the art of cooking so don't doubt my abilities!" Lucia said casually but looked a little wrinkled on her forehead.
Nier took 2 pieces of meat and gave them to Lucia.
"Are you sure you want to eat it?" Nier asked because this meat looked very dense and a lot of viscous liquid covered it.
"No, of course we'll eat it together." Lucia nodded then slightly smiled awkwardly.
"Okee's.."
Nier and Lucia started putting meat in her mouth,
Bwegh
Nier instantly vomited out everything inside her stomach, she felt like crying from eating this. This was probably the worst meal he had ever eaten.
He looked at Lucia who was swallowing the meat, in his eyes were tears that wanted to drip.
Lucia was holding back her vomit and arrived at her sight.
『 You have been poisoned, reduce 30 health per second for 5 seconds. 』
『 You receive 30 damage. 』
"FUCK NIERR! YOU REALLY WANT TO POISON ME!?" Lucia yelled towards Nier who was vomiting, Nier received no damage at all due to her passport status.
"What's!? you're the one who cooks-begrhh"
Despite having a passive skill, his stomach could not handle that crazy feeling.
But in Nier's view something appeared.
『 Abnormal Poison Cooking Skill obtained. 』
