NOVEL NEXT chapter 540
540 – Side story) Praise makes even a fire dragon excited
-I guess it’s really him!
ㅡWow~ A young woman really eats that big thing all by herself?
-How many servings did you say? 10 servings?
-Isn’t it a lot bigger than the pork cutlet I ate last time?
-That’s right. That warship model steel plate alone would be close to 1 meter long?
-But what is that woman’s name? Now that I’m looking again, it seems like he doesn’t even have a channel… … .
-That’s right. I don’t see any filming equipment around.
ㅡAre you just here to enjoy real food, not like a navigator?
-What do you think? Later, after it’s over, I’ll ask you to take a picture with me.
-Anyway, I’m looking forward to it! Never thought you’d see it in person!
ㅡRoaring… … !
People’s eyes are focused on one place.
Although the store was usually crowded with people,
Today was much more noisy during peak weekend hours.
Everyone was running the camera app and capturing Raylin’s vivid appearance.
ㅡSqueak… !
“Huhuhuhuhu… … .”
Either way, the owner lights up a huge warship model frame and fills it with broth. Over 4 liters of broth is poured onto a warship-shaped iron plate with a total length of nearly 1 meter.
“… Now, when the broth starts to boil, we will cook it slowly!”
He sets the ingredients step by step with a bright smile on his face. To him, the success or failure of the challenge was not important.
‘This is a heaven-sent opportunity… ! You have to hold on to it even if it means creating a challenge that never existed before! ‘We are taking this opportunity to expand into markets not only in Jeju Island but also overseas!’
The president draws a blueprint of ambition,
Add seafood to make it look good.
Inside, there were more ingredients than expected.
Abalone, shrimp, scallops, octopus, crabs, and clams are placed in rows five and ten inside the warship, like the navy, by class.
Today, there is only one opponent that this seafood army must face with its warships.
That is none other than the Fire Dragon Leylin.
Although it was now in the shape of a human,
She was clearly a dragon, hiding sharp shark-like teeth.
The seafood army, made up of various seafood, was waiting at their respective positions to engage in an all-out war with the fire dragon that suddenly attacked the warship.
ㅡBubble bubble bubble… … !
The red-colored broth slowly begins to boil as it receives the spirit of the seafood.
-Sureuk! Fondant… !
Accordingly, the president sends in thick kalguksu noodles as additional troops.
The amount of noodles and seafood combined makes approximately 10 servings or more.
It was such a huge amount that most people would never be able to eat it all by themselves.
“I will give you a 20-minute time limit. “You can start once the noodles are cooked.”
-Legally!
He places the digital stopwatch in his arms on the table. He was not the owner of a successful restaurant for nothing. He was a person who was ready to make money at any time.
“Hey, by the way, isn’t there any prize money or something? And I know there wasn’t a challenge like this the last time I came… … ?”
Before the challenge begins in earnest,
Jeon So-rim asks a sharp question.
A challenge without conditions is like an empty steel tablet.
Moreover, it was impossible to promote the store without prior agreement and receive no compensation.
“… Oops, look at my mind! I didn’t tell you something important. If you succeed in the challenge, we will give you 20 million won as a prize!”
ㅡooo… … !!!!
The market is agitated by the amount, which is larger than expected.
It was indeed the acumen of a businessman.
The amount of prize money didn’t really matter to him.
The goal was to use this opportunity to attract more people’s attention.
Therefore, he was the president who recklessly borrowed a large amount of money without realizing it.
ㅡFighting!
-Show me your sister!
ㅡIt looks much prettier in person when you look at it up close, right?
ㅡReally, you’re going to eat all of that by yourself without Suzaku?
ㅡWhat a buzz… … !
As the situation suddenly grows, the people sitting in their seats cannot control their excitement and crowd around.
Everyone only looks at Leylin.
With eyes full of anticipation.
Everyone didn’t even know Raylin’s name,
People were cheering for her with one heart and one mind.
“Hmm… ! “It was good~!”
Was it because I received this kind of hot energy?
Leylin resolves something in her mind.
While showing a meaningful expression like when he faced the demon dragon.
“… “You know, owner?”
“Why are you doing that?”
“20 minutes is too long!”
“Yeah..? Well, what do you mean… … .”
“15 minutes! “I think just 15 minutes will be enough!”
“Le, Leylin?”
“sister..? “Are you serious about that?”
“Senior, aren’t you pushing yourself too hard?!”
Everyone looks embarrassed at Leylin’s surprise declaration.
“at all. Doesn’t everyone trust me? “Is this a piece of cake for me, Leylin of the Flame Clan?”
Leylin exudes overflowing confidence.
She reassures everyone and assures them.
He asked me to trust and watch over him as a dragon.
On the other hand, the people watching this scene… … .
ㅡooo!!!
ㅡ20 minutes seems difficult, but you can eat that in 15 minutes?
ㅡThat girl knows how to host a mukbang~?!
Everyone was cheering, making the atmosphere even more heated.
“Heng..! What does everyone think of me? I can’t disappoint you when so many people are watching! Anyway, owner?!”
“Yes, yep…” ?!”
“You said I could start whenever I wanted, right?”
“of course.”
“Okay, then we’ll start now, so just watch the clock~?!”
*
On behalf of everyone, I think it was a good decision to come over to this world.
Actually, I just jumped into the portal because I wanted to see the albino… … .
‘After spending a few days, it seems like this world isn’t so bad, right?’
I was a little wary at first because it was a world with only humans, but after spending a while there, I think it’s a better world than I thought.
Of course, there are some bad people like the thief I met yesterday, but basically, most of the people here were kind.
I don’t know for what reason,
Everyone really liked me.
You can eat food for free,
They said that as long as you eat everything within the time limit, you will be given gold and silver treasures as a prize.
ㅡoooh..! Looks like it’s finally starting!
ㅡCheer up! I could!
-After hearing what you just said, it seems like your name is Leylin, right?
-Leylin! Go for it!
-Leylin! Raylin! Raylin… … !
Even now, people I have never met are cheering me on with all their heart.
ㅡKwaak!
The sound of people chanting my name fills me with strength. I almost bent my metal chopsticks without realizing it.
I like this hot atmosphere.
The passionate sense of presence makes the blood boil.
At this rate, I feel like I can eat it all in 10 minutes instead of 15.
ㅡRattle… !
With that in mind, I quickly moved my long chopsticks.
“First of all, let’s start with the noodles… … .”
The first thing I targeted was none other than thick noodles. It is natural to take out noodles and eat them as soon as they are cooked.
If you leave the noodles out to eat something else, they will get soaked in the broth later, making it difficult to eat them.
ㅡSlurp slurp… … !
The chewy and springy noodles go straight down the esophagus.
There was no need to eat the noodles separately. Because the unusually shaped boat made of metal was a personal plate just for me.
ㅡYou swallow the noodles without chewing them, right?
-Isn’t that hot?
-It was just starting to boil… … .
ㅡThis sister is definitely a fire attribute, right?
‘Hehe, this is a piece of cake for a fire dragon! And now is the real beginning-?!’
Although I had eaten just a few hours ago, it wasn’t that much compared to what I usually eat.
“Ha! Omulmulmul… … !”
After the thick noodles, fresh seafood enters your mouth.
Every time you chew a whole soft abalone, the fragrant smell of the sea spreads through the juice and into your mouth.
The flesh of the king prawns was plump,
The scallops and clams were full of elasticity.
On the other hand, the boiled crab melted in my mouth before it even touched my teeth.
The taste of the seafood itself was extremely ordinary.
Because it was a taste I was familiar with.
Still, it was a menu that could be enjoyed in a variety of ways.
The overall taste was also above average, so I could continue to inhale it without feeling uncomfortable.
─Slurp slurp..! Crumbling… … !
It’s been several minutes since we’ve been fighting a seafood warship like that.
How much time has passed?
Now, the last thing left inside the warship is plump octopus legs… … .
『12:38:05』
There is only about 2 minutes left to spare.
“Whoa… ! “Are you the last!?”
ㅡWhirik!
I quickly moved my chopsticks and challenged the giant octopus that was nesting on one side of the warship to a duel.
‘Now if I just kill this guy, I will be able to stand tall as the new captain of this huge warship… … ! If that happens, more and more people will like me and shout my name like it’s their own -?!’
ㅡWagu wagu wagu… … !!!!
I made a final spurt and chewed on the octopus leg.
‘How what? This is tougher than I thought… … ?!’
Although it had already been boiled once,
Did you put a large amount in your mouth at once?
It doesn’t chew well at all.
Thick tentacles stir the inside of the mouth and resist violently.
ㅡSquish, squish… … !
However, nothing is impossible for a fire dragon that has already lit a fire in his heart!
I am fortunate to have been born with sharp teeth, the symbol of the Flame Clan.
-Thump, thud… !
By raising your teeth and cutting off the legs of the octopus like sawing, it becomes easier to swallow.
How long has it been since I dealt with octopus legs like that?
─Gulp!!!
As everything except the broth completely disappeared down my throat… … .
“Well, the challenge is over… … !!!”
ㅡBeep beep!
The owner operates a mysterious stopwatch and stops time.
ㅡTap!
And finally, the time displayed on the stopwatch he placed in front of me was… … .
