Chapter 14.1 : Chicken Filled with Love 

Translator: ChubbyCheeks 

“How can a beginner use a sword with an attack power of 211, are there no restrictions? Wouldn’t the balance break here [1]?

Rare-like is not the same as rare. 

The system has restrictions on weapons with stronger attack power, they could only be obtained depending on the level of the user.

However, Minhyuk’s level was definitely impossible for a weapon with 211 attack power.

Assuming that a rare weapon existed in the novice zone then its attack power should only be at the range of 130.

That’s why Minhyuk’s attack power was extremely overwhelming.

“The item has no restrictions.”

“……”

Oh Changwook’s mouth straightened into a line.

“How, how about the armor?”

“Sylph’s Leather Armor. I saw that it was also rare…”

Minhyuk tried to remember the stats.

“Defensive power is 314 with STR +2, AGI +6 and a +1 level increase on Bardy Swordsmanship.”

“……..Wooooooooow.”

The women that were around him expressed their admiration. The same was true for the others.

“It also has no restrictions?”

“That’s right, General!”

Changwook was left speechless. The usual rare items did not exceed 150~180 defensive power.

“Sylph’s Leather Armor? Anyway, whatever you do you turn out to be the best, but unfortunately I can’t use the skill. Tsk… You haven’t learnt it yet, right.”

“I’ve mastered it.”

“You have mastered it? The skill is not available in the shop though?”

“The hunting training instructor in the novice zone taught it to me?”

Minhyuk told it to them with an innocent expression as he chewed on his cherry tomatoes.

Changwook once more was shocked speechless.

“What the hell are you doing inside the game….?”

“I eat very well inside, it’s the happiest time of my life!”

Minhyuk told them this with a very wide smile. Changwook raised both his hands in surrender.

Minhyuk continued to chew on his cherry tomatoes while sitting comfortably on his chair and holding his handphone on one hand.

“Ah, hyung. I also received a legendary quest.”

“A legendary quest? Are you sure?”

“Yes, it’s true.”

“How in the world…”

Changwook was surprised once again.

“What was the class? Ah, no, do you not know it yet?”

“It’s berserker.”

“Be, berserker. The class name was on it?”

“Yes.”

There were cases where the class name was identified on the quest. This was usually the case for easy legendary class quests where the rewards were already available.

“Wow… That’s really great. Awesome.”

“Is it good?”

“No one wouldn’t want a legendary class. Most of the popular top rankers are holders of legendary classes. There was even a saying: you’re an idiot if you don’t get in the top 100,000 with a legendary class.”

“I want to eat steak. [2]”

“Are you listening to me? You look like you don’t even have a shred of interest in what I’m saying. Some people even hoard legendary class quests, they sell the information then get hundreds of millions of cash.”

“Uh-huh, I see.”

However, Minhyuk was still very calm as he searched on his handphone about legendary class quests.

[Nims, I have received the legendary quest for Archmage, I can’t believe a day like this has come to my life…!] 

—AChunkOfLittlePoo: Oh… it will fail anyway. gj [3].

—MingguJonStyle: Oh… Fail, 2222 [4] hehehe

—Cacacass: Fail 33333 [5]

—KingPororo: I’m an Archmage? 

—ghdgs432: I have a spear, frauds will be hit in a strike. Hehehehehehehehe

Minhyuk continued to search for information related to legendary quests.

And sure enough, people were very enthusiastic about the legendary quests. Some students even promised to study hard if they received a legendary quest.

He found the comments below.

—[Cheolsu’sMommy: This kid. What did he just say now? 

—Cheolsu’sDaddy: Son, don’t use studying as an excuse for playing games. 

—Cheolsu’sNoona: Cheolsu. Don’t talk nonsense, go and make some ramen. 

—Cheolsu’sHyung: You can’t do that~ You can’t lie to me like that~

—Cheolsu’sAunty: Our Cheolsu, let go of the pretty capsule. 

—Cheolsu’sAncestorfrom200YearsAgo: Ahem, I can’t believe I have a descendant who uses studying as an excuse to play games, damn this bastard!] 

He giggled as he thought that these people have very great unity. They even changed their nicknames to leave comments.

Minhyuk stood up.

“Minhyukie, are you going to do the legendary quest?”

He tilted his head at Changwook’s words.

“Why should I do that?”

“Why, what do you mean by why? Isn’t it a guaranteed check for an easier game play?”

“But I won’t be able to eat delicious food while I’m doing that.”

“You’re just trying to eat in the game… ah, you’re going to eat. Wait.”

Changwook looked at him blankly.

It’s a legendary quest, though? 

It’s a legendary quest! 

“They said that if I go and meet an old man I would be able to get yanggaeng. He… That would be delicious.”

“You’re going to eat yanggaeng instead of doing the legendary quest?!”

“No, hyung! They would give me yanggaeng! Wow, hyung… I’m totally speechless [6]. You’re really frustrating, you really don’t understand me. How can a legendary quest be more important than yanggaeng?”

“……”

At that moment, Changwook doubted himself.

‘I, is that so? Was I the strange one? Yeah. It was better to eat.’

Changwook fell for his words. Then he said to him…

“Ah, right. I’ll meet you later when you log in at the Central Plaza in Isbin Village. Got it?”

“Okey dokey yo!”

“Did you change your hair color?”

“I only changed my weight to a weight that’s 100kg less.”

“Is that so? Got it. Anyway. Let’s go exercise.”

“Yep! General!”

“Ple, please. Stop calling me general. Even the lady at the restaurant calls me general now…”

“Uhm…”

He groaned.

Minhyuk still had to continue to exercise even in reality.

You shouldn’t be lazy both in game and in reality. 

He was losing a bit of sleep these days, but he was having a lot of fun so it was alright.

***

General went straight to the Warp Wizard as soon as he logged in the game.

“Where will you be going?”

“Isbin Village.”

“It’s worth 20,000 gold, is that fine?”

Nods. 

General nodded coolly.

This was the coolness of someone in the rankdown.

[You will be warped from Austin to Isbin Village.] 

[You will be charged 20,000 gold as the fee.]

His eyes closed instinctively as it flashed brightly. When the General opened his eyes, he was already standing in front of the Warp Wizard in Isbin Village.

General walked out of the Warp Point and went towards the central plaza.

‘He lowered his weight… I’ m curious about what he looks like.’

Grin. 

General smiled, he had not seen him before when he was still slim. He walked slowly in thought.

‘If a person loses 100kg in weight, are the changes in their appearance ground breaking? Even losing 10kg can show huge changes.’

After walking for a bit, General arrived in front of the central square.

“Looking for Level 5~10 party members to go hunt in the Goblin Fields. Only one spot left!”

“ROYGBIV! Vio! Violet [7] potion for sale! Buy ten, get one service!”

“Buff service! One for 1,000 gold!”

“Looking for an Athenae GF [8]! I’m thirteen years old and I’m called Fire Fist Ace in school! I like the Nami-type!”

“Hey hey, Jin Taeya, I got a new item!”

“What did you get?”

“It’s a unique spear. Wanna see? It’s very dope [9]!”

It was very crowded.

General’s forehead wrinkled in annoyance as tons of people swarmed together.

“Let’s see, where’s that guy? Should I send him a whisper?”

General turned on his whisper.

[General: Where are you?] 

[Minhyuk: At the central plaza.]

[General: Plaza, which direction…] 

As the two of them continued to whisper…

Bang! 

“Ah, I’m sorry.”

He bumped into a man. General nodded his head in a bow. He then looked at the man’s face.

‘He, he’s really handsome……!’

The man nodded his head in a bow too.

He was 185cm tall with a sharp nose, doe-like eyes and a smooth jawline.

Isn’t this what Kang Dongwon [10] looks like? 

‘Wow, it’s real. Is that person a model in real life? Won’t he be a hit if he becomes a celebrity?’

Oh Changwook was originally a health trainer for famous celebrities and entertainers so it was normal for him to think about people’s appearances.

He thought about that before replying to his whispers.

Tap, tap. 

“Uh, excuse me.”

General turned to look at the person who tapped him. It was the handsome man from before.

And then…

“Loyalty. I have seen the General, sir!”

“Oh, oh my god…”

His left hand is holding a bag of bread. 

And this playful voice that sounds so familiar. 

It was Minhyuk.

***

When Minhyuk re-entered the game he found himself standing in front of two guards at the entrance to Isbin Village. This was the same place where he logged out of.

“Hello! It’s a good day to eat something delicious, right?”

“Oh, that’s right. Are you a traveler?”

“Is that a new way of greeting?”

The two guards laughed as Minhyuk entered Isbin Village while eating the soft bread Roina gave him.

The soft bread she has given him was much more delicious than the hard one.

Eating something delicious every day, every step of the way is a very happy thing. 

Minhyuk was able to see a variety of users once he arrived at the central plaza.

“Looking for Level 5~10 party members to go hunt in the Goblin Fields. Only one spot left!”

“ROYGBIV! Vio! Violet potion for sale! Buy ten, get one service!”

“Buff service! One for 1,000 gold!”

“Looking for an Athenae GF! I’m thirteen years old and I’m called Fire Fist Ace in school! I like the Nami-type!”

“Hey hey, Jin Taeya, I got a new item!”

There were parties looking for party members to go hunting and some users who seemed to be alchemists selling their potions. There were even people who came to meet their friends in the game.

“What did you get?”

“It’s a unique spear. Wanna see? It’s very dope!”

“Oh, frick [11]. I’m so jealous!”

Isbin Village was full of life. Even the NPCs were selling something on the streets.

“I’ve arrived.”

Minhyuk who drilled through the cracks in the sea of users looked for General, however he wasn’t able to see him.

Then… A message came up through a transparent hologram window.

[General: Where are you?] 

To send a whisper, all you needed to do was to think of the person you want to send it to then you could think or blurt out the message you want to send and it would be entered on the hologram interface.

[Minhyuk: At the central plaza.]

When Minhyuk first learnt about whispers he thought that it was quite amazing.

As he was looking at some of the items for sale…

Bang! 

He bumped shoulders with someone.

“Ah, I’m sorry.”

The other party’s response was faster than him.

Minhyuk paused. He trembled as the man kept on staring at him.

He knew this voice and this face.

This was General.

General took his eyes off of him after a while and turned to go his own way.

Minhyuk watched his back and saw General’s unique walk. General has been working out for a long time that’s why he walks a bit differently compared to normal people.

How to say it, it’s like he’s walking with his chest straightened up? 

‘It’s Changwook hyung, so why did he go?’

As he thought of this, Minhyuk quickly caught up to him and tapped on his shoulders.

‘Hoo… I’m finally seeing General.’

The man turned around to face him.

“Loyalty. I have seen the General, sir!”

“Oh, oh my god!”

“Huh?”

Minhyuk tilted his head at his exclamation. General looked pretty surprised.

“Did… Did you really not change anything?”

“Change? Athenae makes it impossible to change your face, you know.”

“So… So this is really your face?”

“Yeah.”

“Waaaaaah, Minhyukie, you rascal!”

General suddenly hugged him.

“There are a lot of gay people in town these days…”

“Did you know? There are rumors that the rough looking ones sometimes play the woman’s role.”

“……!”

They didn’t even notice that the other users were already slowly stepping away from them. But General hugged Minhyuk for a while before running around excitedly.

Right now, he was very happy to see him.

“Hey, hyung what’s wrong with you?”

“Yah, you’re really really handsome! Wahaha, Kang Minhyuk. You’re really handsome!”

“I know.”

“Amaaazing. You’re like a scratch lottery ticket! Hahahahahahahahahaha!”

Minhyuk laughed when he saw that he was sincerely happy for him.

Who wouldn’t be happy if someone praised their looks.

It’s been so long. 

Were the others pointing at us? 

Actually, he wasn’t afraid of them pointing fingers at him.

Nobody wanted to be born that way.

He never wanted to have bulimia.

However there was only one thing…

Father. 

And everyone who was like a father to him. It was quite obvious how they would react when they saw him.

Father said… 

‘Son, you are my pride. No matter how you look, you won’t look bad to me. I would never be ashamed of you!’

But this was not what Minhyuk wanted.

Minhyuk wanted to make his father proud of him.

But I can’t. 

It was only natural that he wouldn’t want to go out with how he looks.

But now, his hyung told him…

You’re really handsome. 

You’re very very handsome.

Footnotes 

[1] raws used 밸붕 quick search would give you 밸런스 붕괴 which means balance breaker.

[2] LOL so Minhyuk was making a joke here. It’s a play on words. 등신 (deungsin) means an idiot while 등심 (deungsim) means sirloin steak. So he was saying that he wanted steak. Lmao.

[3] ㅅㄱ : 수고 from 수고했다 which means good job, well done.

[4] 2222 according to our friendly springday, it’s a slang for agreement. From 이의 which is lit. Different view, objection. I’m not well versed in KR slangs so if you know more about this do tell me.

[5] 33333 again, according to our friendly springday, this is like the me three version in KR slangs.

[6] they used the slang 핵노답 = 핵 (haek, lit. nuclear, slang for very) + 노 (no, lit. NO) + 답 (dap, lit. Answer). 노답 is lit. no answer, a slang used for when something has left you speechless, adding 핵 means it’s very no answer so, TOTALLY VERY SPEECHLESS. Kek

[7] Raws says 빨주노초파남보, this is lit the first syllables of the colors of the rainbow in hangul. Now 보라 is violet or iron… But since we’re talking about colors so I used that for the potion. I have no idea as of now how this potion works.

[8] raws used 여친 which is short for 여자 친구 which is lit girl friend.

[9] 개 쩔지 lit. very dope.

[10] I have said this before but I just realized that author nim used 강동원빈 which is kang dong wonbin so uhhh. I’m confusedt.

[11] raws says 쉬벨 i thought it was just a slang for fuck but if you know of this, do tell me! Ty.

TL’s corner!!!!

That’s right!!! Eating is the best. Fite me. Lol. Anyway that Cheolsu. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ so funny.

Also, the insecurities that accompany such a disease that changes your overall appearance must be a lot. I can feel for him as I have been insecure quite a number of times. It’s definitely a boost to their self esteem if people compliment them. So guys, never forget to compliment people, especially those close to you. You’ll never know how happy you’ll make them.
