Leveling Up through Eating

Chapter 8.2: The Chicken who Lays Golden Eggs

[User Minhyuk has gained the Hidden Piece ‘He Who Knows the Happiness in Eating’.]

“?”

The surroundings were suddenly enveloped in silence.

Team Leader Park stifled his yawn as he blinked his eyes.

“Yaaaawn. I must be working overtime too much so that’s why I could see something strange.”

He wiped the tears off of his eyes then looked at the notice again.

[User Minhyuk has gained the Hidden Piece ‘He Who Knows the Happiness in Eating’.]

There was no change in the notice. He scratched his neck in silence. And then…

“Am I the one that’s weird? Does choosing that even make sense?”

That’s when the other operators came to their senses.

“Th… That’s impossible! Can that person really read the characters?!”

However Minhyuk, who appeared on the screen, spoke for himself.

[Fried egg~ Rolled omelette~ Won’t the egg go crack! and go inside the ramyeon?! I’m guuuuulping~]

“…It’s for real.”

User Minhyuk looks like he is genuinely happy about his choice.

When Team Leader Park saw him, he couldn’t help but slap his hand on his forehead.

“That user is still level 1, right?”

“Yeah.”

“But his ability…”

He even received a +5 in all his 5 basic stats.

The fact that he could take the golden chicken alone means that he’s a cut above the rest in the novice zone and now he’s like a wall that the others can’t climb on.

But he just wants to eat!

“The golden chicken is gone now…”

“That’s right. The hidden piece has been achieved after all.”

There were some things that couldn’t continue once the hidden piece was achieved and one of them is the golden chicken.

“This is a big deal, do we have to make another novice zone event to replace the golden chicken? Wow… The development team was so smug saying that the golden chicken event will never end.”

“In fact it’s not yet over right…?”

An employee turned towards Team Leader Park.

“No, do you want to think about what you said again?”

Team Leader Park crushed his paper cup after he finished drinking his coffee.

“Is his dad the president?! Huh? Does he have that much money?! Huh?! That’s 10,000 won a day in his name!!!”

Team Leader Park had a hunch that the meeting would be held until late tonight.

***

Yeah, our father is a president~

“Father.”

After he finished playing the game Minhyuk immediately saw his father, Kang Minhoo, waiting for him.

“How was it? Was it fun?”

“Yes, it was really really really fun!”

Father Kang Minhoo smiled at him brightly.

“I ate samgyetang today, Father.”

“Ooooh…!”

Kang Minhoo was amazed.

“And that’s not all! I also caught a golden chicken today….”

Minhoo couldn’t help but laugh happily as he listened to him excitedly tell him his adventures.

It was the first time he saw Minhyuk look like this in a long while. He was very happy.

“Sooner or later…”

Minhyuk smiled brightly.

“I’ll be able to eat chicken!”

“….!”

Father Kang Minhoo was more pleased today than when his son got first place in CSAT.

His son even sang a song every day because he wanted to eat chicken. Even if he wanted to feed it to him, as a father he couldn’t do so.

But Minhyuk did it in the game, was there anything that could make him even happier than this?

Minhyuk told his story to Kang Minhoo then turned towards his doctor-in-charge, Jinhwan.

“We haven’t detected any side effects or signs of improvement yet. We’ll still be keeping an eye on Minhyuk and how much he eats everyday. He didn’t eat more than his normal amount as he ate fast so he could get back in the game.”

Kang Minhoo nodded at his words when Jinhwan said to him…

“Your expression is very good today.”

“Of course I’m happy. As a father, I would be happy as long as I see my son being happy.”

Jinhwan smiled at him as he nodded.

Kang Minhoo left shortly after. He immediately saw his secretary, Park Munsoo, who has served him for a decade.

“Is it installed?”

“It’s done.”

The two headed straight towards Minhoo’s office.

When the door opened an Athenae capsule could be seen.
