Chapter 301: Siblings Selling Ramyeon

Right after they had succeeded in recapturing the Elven Forest, Legend Guild ranked 13th in the Korean rankings. Compared to Legend Guild’s reputation and achievements, their results this time were quite shabby.

Genie looked out of the window.

‘Minhyukie keeps on getting stronger.’

When they first met Minhyuk in the game, his strength was overwhelmingly strong for his level. However, the gap between them had now widened more than back then. In fact, every member of the Legend Guild felt that there was a huge wall in front of them when Minhyuk hunted Barach. However, none of them felt frustrated. They kept on hunting like crazy to catch up and reach him. All of their guild members were working hard. And the guild master, Genie, also wanted to climb higher. She wanted to make Legend Guild the best guild in the world. Not just the 13th in the domestic rankings.

Then, Haze spoke.

“So, this is a kingdom. So cool.”

Genie slowly turned around and made eye contact with Haze.

Haze was a smart girl. She was able to succeed in bringing up the low sales and income of Valhalla territory up to 700%. She was even able to reach a 1,000% increase this month by reaching out to various businesses.

‘Really amazing. And objective. And…’

She had nothing to say. After all, she only spoke the right things.

“For the first time, a foreigner would become a king of a kingdom in Asgan Continent. There’s nothing more awesome than this title. However, for that kingdom, master will have to yield.”

Haze was now stabbing her with a dagger. She was telling her respectfully but to Genie it was just a stab to her weak spot.

Not too long ago, Minhyuk said that he had a job quest and it was ‘Building a Kingdom’. If one was building a kingdom, then, there should be a king. Would Genie be the king?

‘No.’

Only when Minhyuk became a king would his job quest be completed.

Minhyuk was extremely excited to do this kingdom construction quest. And there was only one reason why he was so excited, especially when he only ever got excited with food.

‘Genie! Think about it! I can make a kingdom filled with delicious food where no one will get hungry!’

That was right. Because this was also somewhat related to food.

However, Genie’s thoughts were different. In order for Minhyuk to become king, he might probably need to leave the guild. Because only a guild master was qualified to become king. However, that would weaken Legend Guild’s powers. And not only that. They might also become a hostile force against their friend, Minhyuk.

And Haze was implying that she should hand over the Legend Guild’s master position to Minhyuk.

“Minhyuk-nim has wide connections throughout Athenae. There will be significantly different results when Legend Guild’s master is Genie-nim or when it’s Minhyuk-nim.”

Genie could not deny her words.

Eivelis Empire’s Empress Ellie.

Asvon Empire’s Emperor Asvon.

Black Dragon and the Boys.

There were also Alicia, Lucia, Ruan, Black Mage Ali and many more.

In fact, even Japan’s Musashi Kentaro had praised Minhyuk not too long ago.

There were a lot of powerful and influential people who cared about and liked Minhyuk.

In other words, there was a need to replace the master of the guild for their guild to achieve explosive growth. She had to slowly let go of this position. Only then will the guild become the best guild in Korea and probably the world.

“Only after getting everyone’s approval will I proceed.”

Genie shook her head.

Would Genie approve of it? It was a guild that she had built, and she was just going to hand it over? No, she might have built it but it was a guild that was built with the dream of becoming the best together. She was just going to choose the most optimal path to achieve their dream of being the best.

Then, at that moment, Minhyuk came inside.

Oh, Minhyuk-ah.”

“I brought something big to help our guild.”

“A big one?”

Genie’s expression turned strange at Minhyuk’s words.

“Yeah. I got information about this place called Atlantis.”

***

Guild members of Legend Guild hurriedly gathered at Valhalla territory. The reason was simple. It was because Minhyuk had gotten information about a territory called Atlantis. Just the explanation alone about this territory was amazing enough. In the explanation, there was a line that said ‘The land that has been hailed as the legendary land that all the monarchs dreamt of owning.’ And there was a reason why the guild members were dreaming.

‘Perhaps in that new territory… we can become stronger and we can have power.’

‘We don’t know but maybe there’s a better hunting ground in the vicinity.’

‘Maybe there are amazing quests hidden in the area.’

It was a territory that was in the legends. There might be limitless possibilities in that place.

While the Legend Guild members were busy, Conir was moving quickly.

Conir was able to successfully complete the Lv2 quest at the entrance of the Demon World’s Tower, the quest about the ramyeon combination, with the help of Black Dragon. And his Lv3 quest was to find a way to enjoy bibimmyeon. And he wondered about it for a long time until Minhyuk gave him some help.

‘How to enjoy bibimmyeon? First, you should prepare about 20 packs of bibimmyeon so you don’t run out. Then, prepare about four kilograms of meat like pork neck and samgyeopsal.’

‘20 packs of bibimmyeon, four kilos of samgyeopsal, Conir wrote it all down…!’

‘Right. Prepare them and go to the valley and enjoy yourself. You can even play in the water. When you’re tired, grill some samgyeopsal and boil some bibimmyeon.’

‘I’m going to cook bibimmyeon, also grill some samgyeopsal!’

‘That’s right, that’s right! You can eat your bibimmyeon with your samgyeopsal while still wet with the water on a bench under the shade of the valley. If you eat it like that… Kghhhk!

Kghhhk! Conir will try too! Thanks, hyung!’

So Conir tried it right away. Then, Conir heard a heavenly voice.

‘As expected of hyung!’ was what he felt when this happened. He could still remember the feeling of eating the sweet and sour bibimmyeon and samgyeopsal after being exhausted from playing in the water.

SLuuuuuurp!

Conir slurped his drool as he recalled that moment. Then, he finally completed the handcart that he was preparing.

‘Conir’s Namyeon to-go’

There was one reason why Conir prepared a ramyeon shop. It was because of his next quest.

[You have completed the Lv3 quest: How to Enjoy Bibimmyeon.]

[You have learned the passive skill ‘Delicious Ramyeon from Time to Time’.]

[The Lv 4 Quest. Selling Ramyeon has been created.]

The Delicious Ramyeon from Time to Time worked according to the situation. It wouldn’t work if you just eat it. It would work if you sneak out at one in the morning to a convenience store, eat out on the terrace, or cook it outdoors while fishing. It depended on the environment too. Originally, ramyeon was delicious if you were hungry outside and had nothing else to eat. However, this skill maximized the effectiveness of that.

And his Lv4 quest was literally just selling. By selling ramyeon, it meant that he should generate about 1 platinum of sales. It was also included in the description that the ‘sincerity’ of the one who would eat would also be included. And since the Lv4 quest was a bit special, the following quest was immediately stated as well as the rewards.

[Lv5 Quest. The Most Delicious Ramyeon in the World.]

[Create an instant ramyeon filled with passion. Present two meaningful bowls of ramyeon to someone. Make it so these two bowls of delicious ramyeon are unique and can’t be seen anywhere else in the world.]

Conir wanted to hurriedly finish his Lv4 quest to give Minhyuk a bowl of ramyeon. That was the reason why he opened up a shop.

“Conir!! I will be rich starting today! Wow! Wow! Wow!”

Meanwhile, the Legend Guild members had already gathered.

“Who’s that…?”

Locke tilted his head when he saw Conir standing in front of his rear car.

Thanks to the allowance that Minhyuk gave him, Conir was wearing a Japanese ramyeon owner’s outfit with a headband that said ‘Conir Ramyeon!’ on his forehead.

“I think he’s Minhyuk’s new vassal?”

“The Ramyeon Master?”

“I guess so.”

That was all. The guild members did not pay him that much attention.

Then, Conir approached Minhyuk after he had prepared everything.

“Hyuuung! Hyuuung! Conir!!! I’m going to command the continent with ramyeon!!! The Ramyeon Merchant, Conir!!!”

Ramyeon Merchant Conir.

The guild members who heard this thought that he had a strange and weird naming sense. However, Minhyuk’s eyes were sparkling.

“That’s so cool?!”

“Hyuuung, Conir!!! I’m going to sell ramyeon!”

Minhyuk nodded his head.

It was alright even if Conir wasn’t with him while he was on his way to Atlantis. And Conir was someone that he could summon and call at any time. So, Minhyuk just took out various parchments, travel necessities, and potions.

“This return parchment will send you back to the village if you rip it. This…”

Minhyuk explained the items one by one. And Conir…

“If I grab and tear the parchment like this, will it be activated?”

He grabbed one parchment and tore it apart.

“…I, I just pretended to rip it. Why did you really tear apart…”

Heok! Conir! Made a mistake!”

Conir turned into a light and disappeared.

And Minhyuk saw what was written on the paper.

‘Instant Teleportation Parchment?’

The instant teleportation parchment would randomly choose a place to go to. There were pros and cons to these parchments. If you were lucky, you would probably be able to go to unexplored lands randomly anywhere in the continent. The only downside was that you could encounter a being that was much stronger than your level.

Minhyuk pondered for a moment.

‘Should I call for him right away?’

No, Conir would be summoned to the summoning room on his own if he was in danger. That meant that everything would be fine.

***

Conir was actually teleported to the passageway via the instant teleportation parchment.

“Ant, do you want to eat some ramyeon? Lizard!!! Do you want some too?”

Conir actually recommended eating ramyeon to ant soldiers and basilisks that were above Lv500. Those who attacked him died quickly.

“Conir! I will become rich here!”

Conir hunted the boss mob and opened up his store here. However, even after one hour, ten hours, two days… no customer came.

***

Ma Zheonu. He was China’s number 1 assassin and the 3rd in the top rankers list. He said that there was no one, whoever they were, that he could not kill as long as he wanted to kill them.

And this Ma Zheonu joined hands with Jiang Chen. He had also expressed his desire to acquire valuable treasures, artifacts and skills from Black Dragon Vormon. So, he entered the portal and tried to collect information on Minhyuk and the baby piggy, Kongie.

Then, he entered a passageway that was called Entrance Passage. He dealt with high-leveled monsters and finally faced ‘Conir’s Namyeon To-Go’ at the end of the passage.

“First customer! I’m Conir! I sell ramyeon!!! Buy ramyeon!”

‘……?’

Ma Zheonu couldn’t understand the situation for a moment. Then, he realized.

‘A boss mob? Is this how it’s like in the Korean server?’

Ma Zheonu suddenly attacked this unidentified being.

“Conir!!! I’m angry!!! You’re not going to buy but you’re bothering Conir! Hyung said that I can scold people if they bother me!”

And Ma Zheonu…

Crack

Keok!!!

He fainted on the spot after being stabbed on the chest with a wooden chopstick.

When he came to his senses, he had already turned into a and was met with a bowl of ramyeon.

“Eat ramyeon, Conir!!! I’m selling it!”

“……”

Ma Zheonu had never faced something this bizarre in his life, ever.

‘This boss mob is clearly over Lv600…!’

Ma Zheonu ate the ramyeon believing that he would get out of the entrance passage if he finished the bowl. But the boy said…

“You’re not sincere!!! Conir. I will give you another bowl!!!”

So, he ate another bowl. Two or three days had passed with him doing nothing but eat all day. He sent a whisper to Jiang Chen to somehow get him out of this situation.

[Ma Zheonu: Are there any trials in the Korean Server?]

[You can’t send a whisper in this area.]

Sadly, not only was whispering prohibited from the entrance passage, most of the communications were also prohibited in most areas. Whenever Ma Zheonu had time, he would move from place to place and try to send a whisper.

Sometimes, although extremely rare, he would be able to send a whisper in some areas.

[Ma Zheonu: There’s a demon here. It’s a boy but he locked me up here and gave me 20 bowls of ramyeon a day. Save me!!!]

[The reception is not good.]

[Only the words demon and boy had been sent.]

Ma Zheonu was in despair. He did not have any other way. It was impossible even if he wanted to die. He was once again beaten until he was bruised with the scooping net when he tried to attack the boy.

‘I’m… the number 1 in the assassins rankings, Ma Zheonu but… I got hit by a scooping net.’

He almost cried.

As time went by, Ma Zheonu panicked. He even resorted to begging.

“S, stop…! Please. It’s my fault!!! So, stop now! Please send me back!!!”

He even cried and screamed.

“Conir!!! I won’t forgive the bad person who attacked first!!! Eat ramyeon!”

Ma Zheonu was unaware. But he tried to steal information about Minhyuk and the absolute divine beast Kongie but he was already caught by the collar by Minhyuk’s vassal, Conir.

Then, the boy suddenly moved.

The body of the woman, who was hiding in the direction where the boy moved, was revealed under a bright burst of light. The woman was wearing a silver armor, a silver horned helmet and a dazzling red cape. The cape had the pattern of an altar and a sword.

‘Va, Valkyrie Mei Wei…?!’

Ma Zheonu immediately knew her identity. Unlike the treatment that he received, the boy bowed his head politely as he greeted his new customer. Of course, their treatment would be different since Ma Zheonu was someone who had tried to kill Conir out of nowhere.

“A second customer! Welcome! I’m Conir!!!”

Then, he asked her with a big smile.

“Which do you put first in a ramyeon, the noodles or the soup?”

Mei Wei answered.

“Of course…”

Ma Zheonu gulped dryly.

‘If you answered wrongly… you will be punished by eating ramyeon here!’

Then, Mei Wei continued to speak.

“You have to put the pot first, Little Boss.”

“…!!!”

This was the moment that Conir realized what logic was in this world. That was right. Instead of saying water first, you should definitely place the pot first. This was literally the world’s logic! He realized that he needed something to start anything with this logic.

“W, wooow… ge, genius… Waaaaaah!!! An amazing genius!!!”

The boy was left in shock. While Mei Wei, who still couldn’t understand the situation, pondered.

Mei Wei and Conir did not know that this encounter would shake the entire continent.

Meanwhile, Black Dragon Vormon checked the current situation through a hologram, using the power that he planted on Ma Zheonu, when he heard from Jiang Chen that he did not receive any news from the information source that he sent.

“……”

Black Dragon Vormon was left speechless.

He was finally resurrected after hundreds of years but a strange boy was sprinkling ramyeon powder on the person that he had sent to check on the location of the absolute divine beast.

“I’m going nuts…”

Confusion and perplexity was hidden in his voice.
