10 The Food Fighter (Food God) Knows How to Eat Samgyeopsal
“Kwiiiik!”
A pig really appeared the moment they opened the door.
However, this pig was a bit different from ordinary pigs. It was twice the size of a normal one. The pig’s fur was shiny and golden and instead of hanging on its butt, it had two curled tails on its forehead.
“I, it’s a golden pig! It’s a special boss mob that rarely appears in Twilight Graveyard!”
“It’s a special boss?”
“Yes. As far as I know, you can get double the items and double the experience points which you can’t get from a normal pig. But it’s a bit stronger…!”
Minhyuk nodded his head as he grasped his sword tightly.
‘Pork belly… Pork neck… Sirloin…!’
It’s one of the food ingredients that I am really craving for.
For anyone, samgyeopsal was something that coworkers eat while drinking soju after leaving work. For others, it was a stir-fried dish prepared daily by moms with their sleeves rolled up.
However, this was not the case for Minhyuk.
If he was able to eat everything he wanted in real life then he would not be here right now.
So I will run.
Grips!
His body was brimming with strength.
The golden pig gave a loud and fierce cry as it ran towards Minhyuk.
Before Minhyuk and the huge golden pig collided…
Slaaaash!
Minhyuk twisted his body away and with his sword, he slashed the side of the golden pig.
“Kwiiiiiiik!”
The pig squealed loudly as it quickly turned around and looked at Minhyuk with anger.
Minhyuk calmly breathed out.
Tap!
If that guy rammed into me, I feel like it would be quite a blow.
At that moment…
The pig furiously ran towards him again. However, this time Minhyuk did not evade but instead glared at the approaching golden pig.
There were five weakness points marked with red on the pig’s body and he has to accurately stab it on its head.
Minhyuk took a deep breath to calm himself and held his sword tightly.
Thud, thud, thud, thud, thud!
The pig’s steps created an earth-shaking sound.
“Kwiiiiiik!”
Cold sweat dripped from Minhyuk’s hands.
Then…
“Hup!”
Minhyuk stabbed his sword strongly. After calculating the right timing, speed and distance he was able to accurately stab the pig’s neck.
Staaaaaab!
“Kuuwiiiiiiiik, kuuuwiiiiik!”
The pig that was stabbed in the neck struggled furiously.
Minhyuk couldn’t suppress its strength, he felt his body bouncing and swaying as the pig tried to throw him off.
Ah wait, I can let go of my sword.
When the pig was about to attack Minhyuk…

Bang!
Rakku released a magic missile at the right time and a white fist struck the pig on its face.
“Good job!”
Minhyuk rolled away from the pig. He quickly righted himself and ran towards the pig. He clutched his sword tightly.
Staaab!
“Kuuwiiiiiiik……!”
The pig gave a loud cry.
Minhyuk gritted his teeth and tried to pull the sword out of its body.
“Kuuwiiiiiiiiiik!”
It tried to shake Minhyuk off again.
Swish!
Fwoooosh!
Minhyuk was thrown off. The sword that was lodged strongly in the pig’s neck was also pulled out.
Bright red blood flowed out of the golden pig’s neck.
“Kgghk.”
Minhyuk, who was trying to stand up, realized that it was finally almost over.
Thud, thud, thud!
The pig made a commotion as it struggled hard to remain standing.
“Kuuwiiiiik!”
The pig squealed loudly as it stumbled on its feet.
Minhyuk’s sword shined brightly.
Slaaash!
Minhyuk used his sword to slash deeply at the pig’s bleeding neck. With no choice left, the pig slowly fell down.
Baaaaang!
It’s body shook as it struggled hard to survive.
It’s really very realistic.
It still hasn’t completely died yet but it would soon let out its last breath.
‘Let’s see…’
Although he got quite distracted by the thought of eating pork, he still remembered about the quest in Twilight Graveyard that he received from Roina.
As he was thinking about the quest, a series of notifications rang in his ears.
The notifications did not just end there…
“…Food Fighter?”
Minhyuk tilted his head in confusion.
God Class.
Minhyuk was quite familiar with it.
It was a very special class in a way that a user would need to undergo several rounds of trials before obtaining it. There were rare cases where it was somewhat easier to complete.
However, one thing was for certain.
It was a class that was much more rare compared to hidden, secret and legendary classes.
Minhyuk checked his stats window first.
His class was definitely changed to Food Fighter. However, there were still points that he was doubtful about.
‘What does the 0% after the Food Fighter mean?’
Why did the / after the fullness stat completely disappear?
‘Hmm…’
Minhyuk was deep in thought.
Let’s first close the stats window and check the skills window.

He opened his skills window, quickly skipped his old skills and went directly to check his newly acquired skills.
“Increase in stats?”
Minhyuk tilted his head in confusion.
I can see what you mean.
They said that fish that were freshly caught and eaten raw were very delicious.
This freshness is as important as those other skills.
However, Minhyuk believed that the ‘stats increase’ was something very odd.
‘Does it mean that if I continue to eat then my stats will increase?’
As he thought of the stats increase, Minhyuk continued to check his other skills.
‘Question marks?’
Minhyuk was once again filled with doubt and astonishment.
Every meal I eat can give my stats an increase? How can this be?
‘It’s too…’
Fraudulent?
Was the term that Minhyuk thought of. However, he hasn’t even finished checking out all of his new skills.
‘Uwoooo…!’
Strangely enough, Minhyuk felt that he liked the skill Ingredient Acquisition more compared to the skill The True Worth of Food.
In fact, when he was just beginning, Minhyuk thought that it was really too much to clean and chop the chicken personally.
It was even hard to do it in the game for a person who knew how to process meat, then what more for someone who was not aware of how to do it?
What if it was a pig, or a cow? Then wouldn’t it be much harder?
That was why Minhyuk stopped by a butcher shop before coming to challenge Twilight Graveyard. He asked if they could dismantle a pig for him and was told that the butcher shop would do anything for him if he paid 100,000 gold.
A burden was lifted off of Minhyuk’s back.
‘That’s right, this is a game!.’
Minhyuk was extremely happy as he closed the skills window after checking all of his new skills.
“Minhyuk-nim, look at all the items that came out!”
She thought Minhyuk was doing something since he kept silent while he stood in front of the golden pig so Rakku decided to call out to him.
There were lots of items that dropped from the golden pig.
“Wow, the staff also came out!”
Maybe it was because it was the golden pig that was why the item drops were completely different.
She quickly picked up the items. Since the auto-distribution system was still on, except for the two people who were forced to log-out, the items were still distributed evenly.
“Minhyuk-nim, please grab my hand.”
“Why?”
“It’s for a trade. I have to give you the 40,000 gold and the Golden Pig’s Bone Staff. It’s rare, you know!”
Grin.
Minhyuk smiled.
Maybe she did this because she felt sorry that I only did most of the hunting.
However, the truth was Minhyuk was not even interested at all with those items. Right now, his attention was solely focused on one thing.
Pork.
“Nim should use the staff, and the money was split evenly between us so it’s fine. I’m not a magician so I have no use for the staff.”
“Ah, then I’m sorry…”
“If you feel sorry then you should go out now.”
“Eh?”
She was confused.
“There’s still something that I have to do.”
“…?”
She looked at him strangely, but when she saw Minhyuk’s expression she nodded in agreement.
Minhyuk looked like he would commit PK if she didn’t leave right away.
“Ah, I understand. Don’t make that scary expression.”
The warp gate was already opened since the attack was finished. Rakku was walking towards the gate when Minhyuk turned to ask her.
“Ah, right. Do you happen to know about the 0% right beside the class? Do you know what it means?”
“Ah, yes, I know. Usually if you fill it until it’s 100% then you can change to a second job.”
“Oh, I see.”
Minhyuk nodded in understanding.
Food Fighter. Hmm. It doesn’t seem like it would just end with Food Fighter.
“Then, have fun!”
“Yes, you too!”
The moment Rakku disappeared, Minhyuk stretched his hand out towards the golden pig.
“Ingredient Acquisition.”
A hologram popped out in front of Minhyuk. The hologram showed the figures corresponding to each part of the pig. He could even see the excess parts like the bones, guts and blood.
Minhyuk extended his finger towards the hologram and started to click on the parts one by one.
A pig could give you plenty of ingredients. Pigs can generally be split into 7 large parts and 22 smaller parts. Each part of the pig could usually be cooked and eaten. No part would be wasted.
Minhyuk smiled as he watched his inventory being filled. He acquired almost everything with the exception of the fur and the skin.
‘It was nice meeting you, Porky.’
Minhyuk gulped in anticipation.
Kang Minhoo, Minhyuk’s father, named himself Black Dragon in the game.
Right now, Black Dragon just came back from his most recent party hunt. He wanted to have a high enough level before he could go and see Minhyuk.
Athenae is really fun.
He has been enjoying it quite a lot so he spent a lot of money to buy high-priced set items.
‘Huhu, everyone must have been surprised.’
His level right now was at level 30. However, the low-leveled players that came with him in the party hunt were very surprised about his items.
How can his items be that good?
He just smiled at them and said nothing but everyone was still full of laughter.
‘My humor definitely worked.’
Black Dragon would throw out funny things every so often. He strongly believes that he should have fun whether he was playing the game or he was working.
That’s why he always threw humorous words like this…
‘Everyone, do you know what the word is when you try to stab an enemy with your spear?’
‘W, what is it, Black Dragon-niiiim!’
They were all trembling in laughter before he could even open his mouth.
‘I’m so embarrassed! [1]’
‘Eh?’
‘You say you’re ’embarrassed’ when you’re stabbing your enemy with a spear.
[1] it says 창피해 which means blush in shame or embarrassed. 창 is spear and 피 is blood, 해 means harm or damage. Lol. It’s probs a play on words which means when you’re damaged with a spear you spurt blood. I think?
TL’s corner!!!
I’m pretty sure they’re laughing because of his ign. Kek.
Also… SURPRISE we have a +1 chapter this week. Kek, don’t worry we will still have a 2 chapter dump on Wednesday (my time).
