The Heretic Chef: Exaworld Online

Stupid People

"Looks like my luck has run out..." Rein's voice trembled, with a sad face he continued to pay attention to the auction process that was still going on. He was really disappointed because he thought only his job could produce buffs.

"Sad... What is the use of this job if it is the same as ordinary jobs?..."

Rein had already sold all the meat in his inventory and left only 50 pieces of meat for the dungeon preparation. It used to sell the meat when it was put up at auction but now he had to wait for 1 full hour and it was only sold for 7 gold coins.

It is true that now there are only 5 Intermediate level chefs and that alone has destroyed the price of meat he sells, especially in the future there will definitely be more and more players reaching Intermediate level. So Rein chose to sell all of his meat before the price fell too far.

"I can't go on like this..."

His head was dizzy, Rein himself was confused by what he should do. The time for the tournament was getting closer and now he had to focus himself on either leveling up or improving his cooking mastery skill.

Rein checked his money then sighed softly, the money he had collected all this time was enough at least he could buy 3 Exadream Gear now.

'I think this kind of money is enough for me.' Rein smiled with satisfaction and began to do his daily routine.

Nier is back in the game and as usual he opens his Friendlist.

『 Friend List

Lucia - Garuda Crown - Level 40 - Online

Yue - Level 41 - Online. 』

"Woa, it's not usually they're online before me." Nier smiled and immediately sent a message to the two of them, he from yesterday was already impatient to finish the dungeon again.

"Eh... Garuda Crown?" Nier was surprised when he noticed Lucia's information.

Nier became confused and asked because from the beginning of meeting Lucia he was never interested in entering any guild,

'Hm... But in hindsight it was natural that Lucia entered the Top Guild let alone it belonged to her brother.' Nier let out a long sigh then walked towards the dungeon, he walked leisurely while waiting for a reply from his two friends.

Nier stopped by briefly to the market to buy potions and cooking ingredients in such large quantities that it made his inventory almost full.

Potions were very important in making dishes hence he had to buy them now. Imagine what would happen if the entire potion was pushed by the chefs, it was certain that there would be inflation, so instead of him waiting for the price to increase, it was better for him to buy it now.

"Given that damn chef pisses me off." Nier walked towards the dungeon while organizing his inventory.

Ding!

『 Yue's

Yue: I'm sorry Nier, I'm currently very busy, and also I've reached level 41 therefore I can't follow you to the dungeon anymore... 』

"......" Nier patted his forehead, he forgot that the limit of the dungeon was level 40 whereas Yue had already reached level 41. Nier was a little confused due to Yue yang extremely fast leveling speed.

'Alright forget it, it looks like I have to wait for Lucia...' Nier replied to a message from Yue then continued on her way.

After a few minutes he arrived at the entrance gate of the dungeon, and strangely the place that was once quiet now was even very crowded even Nier had to cram when walking.

Nier inevitably became annoyed at this crowd, and she finally decided to ask the person next to her.

"Hey friend, do you know what happened? Why are there so many people here?"

The young man who was asked by him immediately turned towards Nier, "Friends, you picked the wrong time. Up ahead there were 6 of the Top Guilds who were checking the identities of the players."

"Eh... What's the point of them doing that?"

"Who knows, it looks like they're after a party that has broken the Hall of Fame record."

Nier frowned, niggling,

'Dangerous... Why are they so persistent.'

"Thank you guys, I think I'll look ahead." Nier patted the young man on the shoulder and directly walked forward.

As the young man had said, Nier noticed that there were dozens of members from the large guild examining the players who were about to enter the Dungeon.

'Only a fool would dare offend them all, I better wait here for a while.'

Ding!

Before Nier moved from his place a message entered his view.

『 Lucia

Lucia: Rein, I am now near the golem dungeon, where are you? 』

Finally the message he was waiting for had arrived, Nier subconsciously smiled and instantly replied to the message from Lucia.

『 To: Lucia

NieR: Lucia, I am now in front of the dungeon. 』

Nier went straight for Lucia, it would be difficult for her to find Lucia in the crowd like this.

"Hey what are you doing!" Suddenly a scream came from behind him. Nier immediately turned his head back, the voice coming from players from the large guild.

'What happened?' out of curiosity Nier immediately walked towards the voice and saw something unexpected.

Nier was surprised to see Lucia who was surrounded by the members of the large guild, there were dozens more players surrounding her.

"How dare you not obey our words, quickly give your status information and you can pass!" A woman wearing short clothes shouted towards Lucia.

Lucia remained silent and continued to look at the woman, from her expression Nier knew that Lucia was looking at the woman with a look of disgust even though it was not too clear from her facial expression .

"very brave! Don't you know who we are!?" The woman grew even more furious when she saw Lucia who kept ignoring her and she immediately took out her guild emblem, it was none other than the emblem of the Great Smile guild, it was a guild that was in the top 50 in Exaworld Online.

Nier became annoyed that Lucia kept being yelled at like that then she sent a party request to Lucia.

The snapped Lucia remained silent then nodded slowly. The woman looked at Lucia who was nodding into excitement, she guessed the girl in front of her had already relented and was about to give up her identity.

『 Party has formed. 』

Of course Lucia nodded instead to give up, she nodded in order to accept the party request from Nier. Lucia smiled as she looked at the woman and raised her right hand which revealed her middle finger.

When Nier saw Lucia's attitude she couldn't hold back her laughter, there was no way Lucia would be afraid of such a bluff, then she quickly turned on the Voice Chat feature on the party chat,

"Lucia prepare... DARK PRISON!"

Nier ran towards Lucia and a black cube began to form around her, in an instant the entire place that was in front of the dungeon was covered by Dark Prison.

『 You have dealt 1224 damage to the target. 』

『 Since you have attacked the player 'En0', he can freely attack you for 10 minutes. 』

『 You have dealt 1194 damage to the target. 』

『 Since you have attacked the player 'Flod', he can freely attack you for 10 minutes. 』

『 You have mena...

Ding!

Ding!

Nier clicked his tongue, who would have thought that the fool who offended the big guilds was himself.

Hundreds more system notifications rang in Nier's mind, but she didn't care about it. Seeing Lucia who had remained silent inside the Dark Prison Nier hugged her and held Lucia like a princess. He ran quickly and took her away to enter the dungeon.

3 seconds later the Dark Prison disappeared, hundreds of guild members who were here were hit by Nier's attack so they knew what had happened.

"NIER!!, NIER IS HERE! EVERYONE GATHER THE MEMBERS TOGETHER AND GUARD THE DUNGEON EXIT!" they all shouted with visible veins at their temples.
