The demons living on this island could not eat at all.
Either they were poisonous, their flesh would crumble like dirt upon death, or they were too hard to eat.
But you’re cooking?
“I see you’re finally here.”
Dokgo Jun’s eyes, which had been shining ominously just a moment ago, became gentle.
He approached the party member and spoke to him gently.
“Hey, where is that guy now?”
“I, I don’t know exactly. I can smell food coming from the west… … .”
“thank you.”
Dokgo Jun left before the other person finished speaking.
Shin Soo-ah also noticed something and followed him hurriedly.
As we headed in the direction the party member had told us, a delicious smell began to spread faintly.
“Ah, Seo Kang-rim!”
Dokgo Jun approached Seo Kang Rim, shouting as if he was happy to see her.
Seo Kang-rim raised his head from boiling something over a campfire when he saw the visitors.
He looked relaxed, as if he had come to camp.
He ignored Dokgo Jun and spoke to Shin Soo Ah.
“Hello, Ms. Shin Soo-ah. What’s going on?”
Shin Soo Ah smiled softly at Seo Kang Rim.
It’s been a few days since I’ve seen you, but I feel like I’ve seen you for the first time in a long time.
She said it with such hidden joy.
“I came here because I heard there was a smell of something cooking nearby… … . As expected, it was Seo Kang-rim.”
In this magical world, the only person skilled enough to cook calmly was Seo Kang-rim.
Shin Soo-ah glanced around.
After slaughtering and examining the remaining parts, it seemed that they had caught the demons active in this magical realm.
“Mr. Kangrim, you shouldn’t eat the demons here. They’re poisonous.”
“I know. I removed everything, so there’s no problem.”
“You removed the poison?”
Shin Soo-ah said with surprised eyes.
Meanwhile, as the outside became noisy, a rustling sound was heard from inside the tent.
Soon, Father John, still half-asleep, stumbled out.
Her hair was all messy and she looked like a bird’s nest.
“Oh, Sister Shin Soo-ah. Brother Dokgo Jun is here too.”
“Hello, Father John. … … Are you okay?”
Shin Soo-ah looked at Father John and asked him with concern.
That was understandable, because Father John’s face was beyond words.
A face as haggard as if he had been up all night.
Father John said with an awkward smile.
“Yes, yes. I’m fine. I had some work to do yesterday… … .”
What on earth did he do to become so haggard?
Since Father John’s special ability was in the recovery category, Shin Soo-ah thought that someone must have been seriously injured yesterday.
Meanwhile, Seo Kang-rim filled a bowl with the food as it was ready.
It smelled quite appetizing.
He called Father John.
“Father John, come and eat. You have to work today too.”
Father John flinched at the word work, but eventually nodded.
He sat down near the campfire and began to eat his food listlessly.
Dokgo Jun looked at the sight as if it was strange.
“Wow, it really did get removed. Seo Kang-rim, give it to me too.”
As Dokgo Jun approached with a big smile, Seo Kang-rim put the food in a bowl.
Less than half the bowl.
He said, handing the bowl to Dokgo Jun.
“1000 Yeongok per person.”
No matter how I looked at it, it was telling me not to eat it.
However, Dokgo Jun opened the trading window without showing any sign of being offended.
“Wow, that’s expensive food. Take it.”
Soon, 1000 Yeong-oks were delivered to Seo Kang-rim.
Shin Soo-ah also saw that scene and spoke to Seo Kang-rim.
“I’ll buy a bowl too. Yeongok… … .”
“200 Yeongok.”
Dokgo Jun looked at Seo Kang Rim at the suddenly lowered price.
“Huh? The price is different from mine?”
“It’s the owner’s mind.”
“Well, there’s nothing I can do since Shin Soo-ah is the heroine. But she still gets paid.”
Ignoring Dokgo Jun’s laughter, he filled a bowl with food and handed it to Shin Soo Ah.
The gods also added a word at that sight.
【Kangrim-ah, isn’t the amount that you gave me so different from what I said earlier?】

【Hey, it’s almost twice the difference.】
【Well, it’s not like I’m giving you that much!】
Seo Kang-rim barely managed to hold back the urge to shout at the sky.
In the meantime, the sound of people talking could be heard from a nearby distance.
These were familiar voices.
“So who’s cooking?”
“No way… … The demons here can’t eat.”
“Huh? Master!”
The people who came with weapons were members of District 2.
They looked as if they couldn’t believe the sight before their eyes.
The scent of cooking that I smelled after a long time.
Everyone’s mouths began to water when they saw Dokgo Jun and Father Yohan eating something.
Yun Gyeo-woo approached as if curious.
“Master, what is this?”
“I just made it by hand.”
“I guess this is edible. Give me some too.”
“200 Yeongok.”
Yun Gyeo-woo pouted her lips.
“Can’t you give it to me for free? That’s too rude to your disciple.”
“I’m not your disciple. If you don’t want to eat it, then don’t eat it.”
“Okay. Here you go.”
Yun Gyeo-ul grumbled but ended up buying the food.
Yoon Bom also paid the full price and took a bowl, and the others looked at her with great envy.
“I wonder if it tastes good?”
“200 Yeongoks are too expensive… … .”
“But I still want to eat anything. I’ve only been eating dried fish and dried persimmons for the past few days… … .”
I managed to pick some fruit from the orchard, but I was sick of eating only that for several days.
Eventually, other people also paid a high price and received the food.
Suddenly, several people gathered around the once quiet tent and started eating.
Everyone took a bite of the food and looked quite surprised.
“Huh? It’s delicious? It tastes like noodles.”
“I feel a strangely savory taste.”
“Ah, it’s been a while since I’ve had a decent meal… … .”
【Wow, this is a great noodle restaurant.】
【Mom! Here, one more bowl of noodles!】
【But how did you make it so that the kids can’t come to their senses?】
【I guess it’s worth 200 Yeong-ok.】
Shin Soo-ah also took a spoonful and was impressed by the taste of the food.
It had a colorful flavor with the addition of meat, herbs, and grains.
Dokgo Jun also had already finished his entire bowl.
“It’s delicious. How did you remove the poison?”
“It’s a trade secret.”
“How rude. Give me another bowl.”
“It doesn’t exist anymore.”
As there were so many people, the large pot soon became empty.
Yoon Bom also raised her head from eating her noodles in a hurry.
“Huh? You don’t have any share, Master?”
“It’s okay. I can eat it separately later.”
At those words, Father John’s shoulders flinched.
People looked disappointed at the story that the pot had reached the bottom.
“Huh? They’re all gone already?”
“I was going to buy one more bowl… … .”
“It’s really delicious.”
Here and there, voices of regret were heard along with praise.
For Seo Kang-rim, it was an opportunity to make more money.
He got up from his seat.
“Please wait a moment.”
He took the pot and disappeared into the grass behind him.
Yun Gyul-wool, who was trying to see how it was made, came back only after being confused.
Soon after Seo Kang-rim finished preparing the ingredients, he placed the pot back on the fire.
As the delicious smell began to waft in, people smiled happily.
“Oh, it smells really good.”
“I hope it gets finished quickly… … .”
After about an hour, the second dish was ready.
Seo Kang-rim looked around at the people and said.
“There are 200 Yeongoks in one bowl.”
As soon as he finished speaking, trading windows appeared before Seo Kang-rim’s eyes.
[200 Yeong-ok was acquired.]
[200 Yeong-ok was acquired.]
[200 Yeong-ok was acquired.]
[200 Yeong-ok was acquired.]
[200 Yeong-ok was acquired.]
At first, there were people who grumbled that it was too expensive.
But now everyone was paying 200 Yeongok as if it were a given.
A pot was emptied in an instant.
【Does the noodles melt in your mouth?】
【Hey Kangrim, you open a store.】
【Isn’t Dae Jang Geum a new character?】
【If this news gets to the culinary gods, there’s going to be chaos.】
Seo Kang-rim was looking at the window of his personal savings that had suddenly increased.
It was an amount that would fill one up even if one were to starve.
[Soji Youngok: 11,230]
At this level, it seemed like I could buy most items.
People quickly emptied the second bowl.
Seo Kang-rim spoke to the people.
“We’re closed for business. If you’re done eating, go.”
“I enjoyed the meal, Kangrim. Can I come back to eat again tomorrow?”
“Please bring Yeong-ok.”
“Wow, I’ll come tomorrow too!”
It was a pretty expensive meal, but it was more than satisfying, so people didn’t seem to have any complaints.
Everyone’s faces became excited at the thought of eating delicious food tomorrow too.
Everyone returned to their original campsite, and only Dokgo Jun and Shin Su-ah remained.
Seo Kang-rim glanced at Shin Soo-ah while cleaning up.
“Why aren’t you going?”
“I have something I want to share with Seo Kang-rim.”
“me too!”
Dokgo Jun raised his hand and spoke, but Seo Kang Rim’s gaze was fixed only on Shin Soo Ah.
“Go ahead.”
“Mr. Seo Kang-rim, do you know the conditions for conquering this place?”
“No. I don’t know.”
“If you get your hands on the sandalwood from the orchard on this island, you can conquer it. It’s a problem because it’s low-grade.”
Seo Kang-rim nodded, even though he already knew the information.
“I see. Thank you for letting me know. It looks like Ms. Shin Soo-ah is looking for intermediate level or higher.”
“Yes. So what I’m saying is… … .”
Shin Soo-ah looked into Seo Kang-rim’s eyes and said.
“I wish Mr. Seo Kang-rim could lend me his strength.”
When Seo Kang-rim did not answer, Shin Soo-ah continued speaking.
“I’m trying to attack, but it’s more difficult because of the people in other areas than the demons.”
“Other areas?”
“Yes. We ran into another area again this time, and they were more interested in us than in the demons. Every time we ran into each other, a fight broke out.”
This time, it seemed like it was similar to my previous life.
I heard that it was quite intense back then, but I didn’t really feel like helping Shin Soo-ah.
Seo Kang-rim glanced at Dokgo Jun.
“Did Mr. Dokgo Jun also obtain the Baekhyang Fruit?”
“Yeah. But I’m not satisfied with the lower level either. I’m trying to search a bit more, but it’s not going well.”
“Then, I guess you two can work together.”
At those words, Dokgo Jun and Shin Soo Ah looked at each other.
Neither of them answered.
It seemed like neither of them were very interested in each other.
“I think I fit in better with Seo Kang-rim.”
“I also like hanging out with Seo Kang-rim better.”
