Chapter 9.1: 9.1
Translator: ChubbyCheeks
Minhoo’s room, as a matter of fact, was extremely spacious. The capsule even looked small in it.
‘My son is playing this game…’
It would be nice to see it, even if it’s at a distance.
What did he want to do inside? He just wanted to see his son eat to his heart’s content. Just the thought of it could bring a small smile to his face.
‘Ah, wait.’
He remembered what he posted on Nava [1] yesterday. He checked the comment posted under his post using his smartphone.
[I wanted to go online in Athenae so… can you please recommend a nickname to me that’s majestic and popular to the youths these days?]
I am a CEO after all, so I need a nickname that is chairman-like!
He wanted to go with something like that so he could keep it a secret to Minhyuk for a while.
He rushed to the bottom of the post and checked the comments.
[Oh, it seems that we have an uncle here. The best nickname out of them all is Black Dragon.]
—fgdg234: Ah… Nim [2] I was going to do that, why would you let him know that first?
—gg731: Hoho… Black Dragon is the most popular and majestic nickname among the youths these days.
—MommyLucy:……Kyaak. If you think about it Black Dragon is a bit cool, it’s like there’s a dragon running crazily on my right arm.
—I’mOneandI’mTwo: Look at the power of comments that can make you agree…. Kekekeke
—VeryTasty: I bow down… Just listening to it makes me shake [3], it’s fXcking highest class [4]
“Oh…”
Kang Minhoo nodded his head in thought.
Black Dragon, huh?
I think it’s really cool. It’s a name that looks like it might come from martial arts.
“Secretary Park.”
“Yes, Chairman.”
Secretary Park, who was standing by the door, hurried to his side.
“What do you think about me using Black Dragon as my nickname in Athenae.”
“Black Dragon? Hoooo….”
Park Munsoo stroked his chin then nodded his head.
“They said that it was cool, majestic and popular among the youths these days.”
“That’s right, Chairman.”
“Do you think it’s fine?”
“Yes, that’s great!”
“How is it, do you think I sound like a young man?”
“Yes, you’re right.”
“Hohohoho!”
This was definitely a conversation between two elites however these two people would never know the truth.
Kang Minhoo started playing that day with the nickname ‘Black Dragon’.

(Minhyuk)
Level: 1
Class: None
HP: 173 MP: 150
STR: 14+9 AGI: 10+8 STM: 10+5
WIS: 10+5 INT: 10+5 Rep: 3
Fullness: 100%/5
Bonus Point: 0
Minhyuk checked his status window. According to Instructor Valen, what was added after the + was the total of the title and the item effects.
Right now, if anybody could see Minhyuk’s stats, they would be shocked at how high it was. He even received a hidden piece and a food storage inventory after hunting the golden chicken.
One could say that he’s unique.
The food storage inventory can be opened separately by thinking or saying ‘food storage inventory‘. And when you store something in it, you could set the temperature at which you want it to be stored.
Tsk, it was like an artifact that is completely custom-made and perfect for Minhyuk.
‘The number in my fullness stat is already 5, huh.’
I don’t know how it works but it seems to increase by 1 everyday.

Minhyuk was still eating his chickens diligently in the beginners hunting training grounds.
‘Should I ask Instructor Roina to help me get some groceries?’
He could easily leave this place right now but Minhyuk thinks that it was quite enjoyable to eat in this place.
He doesn’t know if there was any way he could solve the problem with groceries.
‘I definitely have to make the best chicken out of the golden chicken. Huu…..’
With that in mind, he ate up all of the pieces of meat in his samgyetang.
He continued eating samgyetang since he has no materials to cook anything else.
After he quickly ate up all of the meat, he took the whole pot and lifted it.
“Kghhk. This oily flavor!”
He was very amazed with the flavor.
Perhaps it was because it’s already the morning shift, he saw Instructor Roina coming.
‘She looks like she’s as difficult as Instructor Valen.’
But she looked much colder than Valen and she was worse than Valen when dealing with users. Some users even named the two Ardo instructors as the ‘Instructors who scold you when touched’.
‘What’s the best method to approach her…’
Was what he was thinking.
Instructor Roina looked around, she found Minhyuk and quickly approached him.
‘Hmm?’
This was the first time Minhyuk saw her walking away from her designated position.
“Ahem!”
“Good morning, Instructor!”
“Right, good morning. Minhyuk. It’s just…”
She was holding something that was wrapped tightly in cloth. He then saw her carefully remove the cloth.
Minhyuk’s eyes widened when he saw what’s inside.
That’s definitely gochujang [5] and potato!
‘T… That…!’

I can make spicy braised chicken with that!
It’s a delicacy that is completely different with samgyetang!
A sweet and spicy rice stealer!
She hesitated to talk before she could give it to him.
“B… by any chance…”
“Yes, Instructor!”
Minhyuk gulped as he looked at the ingredients in front of him.
“Instructor Valen… Is he doing well?”
“Huh?”
“He… We worked together before in the same unit. He was my boss. So I was just curious whether he’s doing well.”
“If you were very curious, why didn’t you personally go to him to ask?”
“….”
Roina’s cheeks blushed.
“Ah…”
This is unexpected. The cold-faced Instructor Roina has this expression on her face?
Maybe it was because she was embarrassed, she had one foot in her back and her toes were pointing to the ground.
Minhyuk’s food detector was operating. His detector has caught some signals.
If I do this well, I can easily get my groceries!
He deliberately glanced at her with some slyness but his tone was still like he was reading a Korean language book.
“Ah, that’s right. No stranger [6] could go back to the scarecrow training grounds except for me, huh? But instructor, you’re not a stranger right?”
He was feigning ignorance. He was really meticulous with every detail when it comes to his food.
“Wh- what?!”
Roina was very surprised with his words. Her eyes were staring sharply at Minhyuk.
“You, you could really go back to the scarecrow training grounds?!”
“Yes, you’re absolutely correct.”
“But, but how…?”

“The instructor gave me this sword then I got a notification that I could go back and forth from there anytime?”
“I… is that so?”
As she said that, her expression looked like she couldn’t cope well with her fast heartbeat.
Minhyuk still has his hands in front of him, like a well-behaved puppy. She placed the ingredients she brought in Minhyuk’s hands then turned around.
‘Will I continue to meet this user who made me feel happy…?’
In fact, she had a lot of questions for Minhyuk.
Was the Sword of Rebellion that Valen gave to Minhyuk the reason why the users were going crazy with the lack of chicken in the hunting training grounds these days?
However, she couldn’t restrain his actions. Minhyuk has probably already killed and eaten 200 chickens by now and yet he looked like he still did not want to leave this area.
Which means…
‘He— he’ll be staying here for a few more days, right?’
This was what she thought of.
Minhyuk, on the other hand, was very pleased that he was given ingredients to cook with.
‘I’m really curious about Instructor Valen’s news…’
To be honest, she liked Instructor Valen.
His news.
I don’t know if there’s a way to convey to him these feelings.

Footnotes

[2] 님 : sir, ma’am. Added to a name or a title to show respect.
[3] ㄷㄷ slang for 덜덜 which means so scary or shaking. This was used in a previous chapter.
[4] ㅆㅅㅊㅌ : means 씹상 타취 which means fXcking highest class. A slang for something that is extremely good or outstanding.
[5] Gochujang: Red chili paste, used in most Korean dishes
[6] the KR term is 이방인 lit. stranger, alien, foreigner. I used stranger since the players appear out of nowhere in the NPCs eyes so they’re not necessarily foreigners. XD
TL’s corner:
Lol, cold on the outside but passionate on the inside Instructor Roina. You go girl. ???? And… Omg, Dad Minhoo was scammed with his ign! Minhyuk would totally laugh at him. ㅋㅋㅋ
