After he hunted five chickens, he was able to get 3 bonus points and 3,000 gold. From his 3 bonus points, he added 2 to his STR and 1 to his AGI stat.
Minhyuk rubbed his hands together.
'Well, shall I start?'
He grinned widely and slowly opened the lid of the pot.
'I'm sad that there's no frying powder [1] but it doesn't matter.'
I wanted to welcome the chicken warmly but there's no way I could get any frying powder right now.
That's why he chose to make samgyetang instead.
Samgyetang.
There's nothing better than this for your health.
Normally, samgyetang contains garlic, jujube, sticky rice and leeks but he has only put in whatever ingredients he had.
Blub blub blub— [2]
Steam rose up as the lid was removed.
Minhyuk could see the garlic Valen gave him dancing around. He poked the chicken with his chopsticks.
It's very tender.
He then sprinkled some salt over it.
The chicken can be seasoned better this way.
After he finished doing all of that, Minhyuk became extremely excited. He quickly picked up the chicken and placed it on a tray.
"Sizzle."
As if to inform everyone that it was hot, the chicken sizzled as steam rose around it.
He quickly made the sauce by getting a bit of oil from the chicken feet. He then added an appropriate amount of salt and pepper and mixed it well. With this, his samgyetang was finally completed.
He quickly pulled up a steaming chicken leg.
Riiip—
The juicy chicken leg was easily separated from the rest. Then he ate the whole chicken leg in one big bite.
"Ho… ho…"
With the chicken in his mouth, he slowly blew air to relieve the heat. One could even see steam coming out of his mouth. He then proceeded to chew the soft and tender meat.
Munch, munch, munch, munch—
The chicken leg is truly the most tender part of chicken.
The texture is very nice. The light and simple flavor of the chicken that spreads in your mouth is the best.
He used his spoon to taste some of the soup.
"Slurp…"
This oily flavor.
This is the taste of a perfect samgyetang.
This time, he dipped a piece in salt before having a big bite of it.
"Delicious…"
It's really delicious.
Minhyuk had tears in his eyes. He felt as if he had conquered everything in the world.
In a blink, Minhyuk has already eaten all of the chicken inside the pot. It was eaten down to the bone that you can't even find the chicken from before.
"I want to eat more…!"
He stood up.
The size of his pot was limited. If he got a slightly bigger pot then his small gas burner would not be able to handle it.
To satisfy his hunger, he recalled the taste of the samgyetang he just had before while he chewed on a bread.
He then started to boil another chicken in his small pot.
"Interesting…"
This was what Instructor Roina thought as she watched him from afar.
He is a very unique user and a strong one at that, too.
Plus, he has already caught five chickens but he's still continuing to hunt them at a fast pace.
'That guy makes me want to see Instructor Valen more.'
Roina smiled wryly. Whenever she thought of him, she couldn't help but give a bitter smile.
'I want to see him…'
Once again, she smiled bitterly. And at that moment…
"gasp…!"
"Wh what the hell is that!"
"Why is that chicken so big!"
Screams began to spread among the users. Roina sharply turned her head to get a look. Her eyes widened and her jaw dropped.
It was a golden chicken twice the size of a regular chicken.
"bok, bok!"
The cry was so loud that it was like a dog was barking.
'A golden chicken?'
Roina knew about the existence of the golden chicken.
That chicken was the boss monster in the novice hunting zone. However it wasn't just a simple boss monster, it was a monster set-up for an 'event'.
The users have already started to recognize it too.
"Yah f*ckers, kill it! We have to kill it somehow! If you kill it you'll get a golden egg! I saw it in the notice before!"
"A golden egg?"
"Yeah, man! You'll get 200,000 gold when you break that egg. It lays one egg a day! Let's catch it quickly!"
"gasp!"
"Ack?!"
"Catch it! Catch that chicken!"
The users began to shout.
That's 200,000 gold per day. It's like getting 10,000 won per day in reality.
The users started to run around wildly trying to catch it but the only thing they got was being injured by the ferocious golden chicken.
They were being slaughtered by the knife-like beak of the golden chicken.
"Argh!"
"Ack!"
"bok, bok!"
It suddenly discovered another man nearby.
Swoosh—
The man's eyes flashed.
'A golden chicken. It reminds me of Golden Olive [3].'
Somehow, it looked more appetizing to me.
Guuulp—
He cracked his neck.
Crack!
Minhyuk kicked the ground and dashed off.
Footnotes
[1] Frying powder, idk how it is called in your area but it's basically the frying mix/batter you put in fried chicken to make it crispy. Or tempura. Smth like that.
[2] This is the sound for boiling water.
[3] I think it's this, but it's a fried chicken recipe from BB.Q Chicken. And it looks so cruncy. Man I want to taste it.
