'Crazy, does this quest want to make me a slave and make me die by cooking?, or not because I make money quickly they want to punish me?'
Nier's face turned extremely grim, those 1000 meals were extremely difficult even he only had 1 hour to turn into an orc.
"Alright elders, but I don't want my cooking recipe to be seen by anyone else. I wish you could make a place for me." Nier said the idea he just got and accepted the quest.
『 Quest Received 』
"If that's all I can do for you, come to my house and there's a fully equipped kitchen."
"Secondly, can I go out for a while like I'm getting a bit of my memory maybe this could improve my cooking performance." Nier said so because she only had a little more time for the Masquerade, let alone she had left the paca - I mean her friend behind for 1 hour.
Orcoz pondered for a while then took out a piece of gold token and gave it to Nier.
"Take this, if you want to come back here then show it to the gatekeepers and they'll let you in."
Nier picked it up, the token looked like an extremely ferocious and formidable orc head. Nier immediately saw the status of the token.

'wow, useful items but why do I always get emblems and tokens huh?'
"Okay, my elder please step down, when I'm done I'll be right back." Nier paid his respects and ran away leaving them both.
"Chairman, do I have to follow him?" The Orc watching Nier asked.
"No need, I can tell from his face it seems like he's in trouble and doesn't want to be bullied."
The orc nodded and they both looked towards Nier who was running out of the village.

Yue and Lucia on the other hand were killing some orcs that passed through them, during the 1 hour Nier left they just killed the monsters and spoke a little.
An hour later Nier returned in his human form and was seen gasping for breath.
"Nier what's wrong?" Lucia asked immediately.
Yue also looked worried about him but just kept quiet and waited for an answer.
"I got a quest from the orcs there." Nier said with a heavy breath.
"Wait, how can you get a quest from a monster?" Lucia asked by handing over the drinking water to Nier.
Nier shook his head
"It's not a monster but an npc and I'll take you to the village and ask the orc elders to let you into the village!" Nier yelling.
"Why are you yelling at me?" Lucia looks nervous.
"What's? ahhh... I'm sorry, it's because..." Nier explains everything that happened.
"Isn't that interesting? the monster we thought was just a monster, was an npc!" Lucia became excited, as usual if the topic was about monsters she would be like that.
"Are humans allowed to go to the orc village?" Yue asked, he was still afraid of the orcs.
"I'll ask you first, um... Can you pretend to be my helper?" Nier looked at his two friends.
The two of them nodded then Nier explained all the plans they were going to do.
"Are you really sure you can cook that much?" Lucia's still worried about Nier.
"At least let's try, I don't want to suffer that damn penalty."
"All right, let's go.."
The three of them went walking to the village of the orcs. On the way when they encountered the orcs, Nier immediately took out his token and the orcs immediately nodded and left.
They were amazed by that token, if they had that token at least they would remain safe in the thousands of orcs around them.
A few minutes later they reached the orc village, in front of the gate were two orcs who used to guard the gate.
"Stop!" The big-bodied orcs were shouting.
"Why did you bring humans here?" The orc next to him asked.
Nier just took out a gold token, "I was ordered by the elder, and let me go see it."
The gatekeepers looked at each other and approached Nier and saw his gold token.
"And the man behind me is a guest, I hope you can let him."
Looking at the guest who was only two female guards grinned.
"It's okay, just take them in, we're the same guy so no need to be sad." Said the guard with a smile on his face.
Nier ignored the smile and started walking in the direction pointed at by them.
All of the orcs in the village noticed Nier and the two girls beside him, the three of them walking leisurely towards the Orcoz place, when there was an orc who wanted to disturb them Nier directly issued his gold token.
The three people finally arrived at the elder's house, and knocked on his door.
The elder walked out of his house and immediately frowned.
"What does this mean, Nier, didn't you say you'd get something to help you cook?" Orcoz said unhappily.
"Chairman, they're both my saviors and I've finally gotten the magic equipment for cooking."
"Hoo, what is magic equipment." Orcoz was more interested in his equipment than the woman behind him.
Nier took it out and showed the power of the equipment. Orcoz looked overjoyed at the sight, at first he wasn't even sure Nier could cook 1000 dishes at once but with this tool became even more convinced.
The elder nodded and allowed them to enter, the house looked as simple as a normal human house, then they went straight into the kitchen.
"Chairman, whatever happens don't go inside ok?" Nier reminded him once more.
Hearing what Nier said, the elder immediately looked towards the girl behind him and smiled
"Happy young man, but don't forget my duty." The elder directly walked out of his house leaving the three of them.
"Has the nature of the orc always been like this?" Yue asked, they knew what the elder meant by having fun.
"Forgot that, I have to finish this first." Nier took out his cooking equipment.
"Nier, if you cook like normal it's unlikely to work. Now you have to cook with 50 meat." Lucia stood beside him looking at what Nier was doing.
Nier nodded, he had thought about it and then he ordered his Dark Pan and Dark Stove to be 10 meters away.
Yue looked surprised by the ability he had just seen, but he quickly regained his composure.
Nier turns back into a human and starts cooking.
Dozens of meat were put into the pot, this looked different to what he cooked to a normal pot size.
3 Hours later Nier was able to cook 250 meats.
"Maybe I can do it."
"Nier looks like I'll logout first." Yue said and turned into a particle.
"Lucia, how are you?"
"I want to stay here." Lucia knows that Nier is a bored person so she doesn't want to leave him alone.
Nier smiled listening to that, the two of them started talking to each other.
For another 3 hours, he cooked over 500 meats.
Nier took only 5 minutes to put all the ingredients and put them in the pot, the remaining 25 minutes he just sat waiting for the meat to ripen by talking with Lucia.
It had been 6 hours that she cooked but she was not tired at all.
"Lucia, how about our dinner?" Nier asked, she was eager to see Lucia in her real life.
"Patience, three more days the show will begin."
"That means two more days huh.., that feels really long huh."
"Pfft, how much do you want to see me..."
"Yes, that's it."
"Nier, don't you have any other skills? like alchemy, blacksmith, or sewing?" Lucia asked, she saw Nier just sitting down while cooking and doing nothing else but that.
"I have an alchemy skill, but doing it continuously is a bit boring."
"Hmm then what about the renting skill? it can be done anywhere, right?"
"Sewing? Lucia, I'm not a woman who can sit quietly, let alone sew clothes."
"Is cooking the work of a man?" Lucia laughed a little.
"It's so manly!" Nier was a little embarrassed when she said that.
"Hmm, but you're right too..., then what about blacksmith? At least it looks like a man, right?"
"Blacksmith yeah.., it looks really cool but it can't be done anywhere, it requires a furnace and fire with high temperature, how can I do it..."
"Nier, isn't that fire?" Lucia asked by pointing at the dark flames emitted by Nier's stove.
Nier noticed it and began to think, otherwise this stove could raise the temperature of the fire to an extreme level.
He walked towards the stove and looked at the stove up close.
"It seems possible, but I won't know before trying it, Lucia retreated for a while I'll raise her temperature." Nier is ready for what happened.
"Dark Stove use the highest temperature!"
Boom!
