The Heretic Chef: Exaworld Online

Lenia

Inside a sizable and luxurious room, a silver-haired girl was rolling around while covering her face with a pillow.

He screamed and then buried his face in the pillow. He had actually been doing that for over 15 minutes, and perhaps if someone were to see him now, they would have thought that the girl had gone mad.

"Aaaaaaagh, what did I just say?! Why can I do that?! Aaaaaahhh!" Shouted the girl then hugged her pillow even tighter.

That girl is Lucia. After he exited the game, he immediately jumped on the bed and shouted hysterically like this.

"Sialll, that's so embarrassing!"

Shouts again. Lucia's face had now completely flushed, she felt very embarrassed when she remembered the incident earlier. Not only did he declare his love, he even kissed Nier's cheeks without regard to their current status.

Lucia knew at the time that their relationship was still a friend, but for some reason her body seemed to move on its own and kiss Nier's cheek without realizing it.

Lucia admits that she has a taste for Nier. But, for a girl like her, it was a shame if she had to do that first before the male side started it.

"Rein, you stupid, stupid, stupid!" He shouted again while hitting the bolster that he had originally embraced.

But before he finished his combos on the bolster, a knocking sound was heard from the door of his room.

Tuk tuk tuk!

Lucia who was originally embarrassed and nervous, her expression instantly turned cold upon hearing that knocking sound. Even the red hue on his face had also completely disappeared.

Although it is not yet clear who knocked on the door of her room, Lucia already knows who it is.

Tuk tuk tuk!

The knocking sound rang again, Lucia frowned before quickly tidying up her tangled clothes and walking open the door of her room.

Creeaaq.

The door opened and Lucia soon found a blonde woman standing quietly at the door of her room.

Tskkk!

Lucia clicked her tongue as she looked at the woman's appearance, if anyone asked 'Who do you hate the most?' then Lucia would not hesitate to appoint this woman.

"What are you doing in front of my room?" Lucia asked coldly.

Upon hearing Lucia's question like that, the woman's gaze turned sharp, "You damn brat, don't pretend to be stupid, quickly give me your phone!"

Lenia Santika, that's the woman's name. She was a woman with waist-length hair, her blue eyes were glittering and accompanied by long, wiry lashes, she also has a pretty face for a 29-year-old woman.

"Quick give! Ohh... Wait a minute, don't tell me you didn't do it?" Lenia extended her hand forward, before grinning and again asking, "You know the consequences if you dare to oppose me?"

"......"

Lucia clenched her hands and her eyes also began to narrow, she really did not like this woman, if only this woman was not her aunt and not the largest shareholder in Garuda Crown, he said, he would never care about it.

Lucia knows clearly that the woman in front of her often interferes with her personal life, starting from acquaintances, friends, even girlfriends. Lucia was not allowed to befriend anyone who was below her level as well because of this woman.

Lenia nodded in satisfaction and unhesitatingly picked up the phone. He glanced at Lucia for a moment and when he saw no resistance, he immediately checked the phone slowly.

First, he began to open one by one Lucia social media accounts, starting from contacts, emails, and finally Exaworld Online account owned by Lucia. Lenia's smile also widened when she saw that there was no friend in it, and after she finished checking it, she immediately returned the phone without guilt.

"Good, very good Lucia, you've deleted everything. Maybe this way your brother's Guild can run smoothly." Lenia was seen holding her laugh as she said that, she patted Lucia on the shoulder a few times before leaving.

"......"

Lucia was still speechless, even after Lenia was completely lost in her sight. He hates these moments so much that, even though he has a lot of money, he does not know how to get rid of the influence of the woman in his life.

After a long silence, Lucia finally said a word before entering her room and returning to play the Exaworld Online Game.

"Rein's... Don't give up..."

On the other hand, Nier is currently back at Momo's house. He was sitting and pensive in front of the porch of the house while observing the sky with a blank look.

After he got a surprise from Lucia earlier, at first he felt so happy that he shouted and even became the center of attention there.

However, it was only a momentary pleasure. Because after he recalled the whisper, his expression immediately stiffened because he realized how heavy the burden he would bear in the future.

[...... Rein, I would never marry a man who was under me, so... Happy fighting.].

That's what Lucia whispered before she disappeared.

If Nier thinks carefully, Lucia not only shoots him, but she also sets the conditions for being his girlfriend.

But the conditions Lucia set were insane, almost impossible for Nier to make it happen.

First if Nier wants to surpass Lucia, of course he must have a lot of money. But for an ordinary student who had not even worked, was it possible to do so?

It was almost impossible, even if Nier could sell her food at the highest price in Exaworld Online, it was still impossible for her to reach the level of Lucia.

Moreover, Nier realized that the level of competition between chefs was also getting heated, even for the price of meat that he originally sold for 10 gold coins, now can only be sold for 1 gold coin.

And for the second, Nier also had to raise her status and fame so that it could rival Lucia.

Maybe it will be very difficult, but Nier already has some plans in mind.

One of them is to take part in the tournament which will be held at the end of the year. If Nier could win the prestigious tournament, it was certain that her status and fame would rise very quickly and could even surpass Lucia.

Well, even though Nier knows how hard it is to win the tournament, but at least he has to keep trying.

After thinking about many things in his head, Nier's eyes now turned to the golden key that was in his right hand.

This was the key that Lucia gave at the time of their separation earlier. Nier did not know what this key was because from earlier he was too busy with his own mind and even unconsciously he had ignored the key.

Maybe because this was just a key, Nier was really not interested in his status. However, his eyes instantly widened as the information about the key opened.
