Midnight Dungeon

Chapter-5: cooking skill

For that she can slowly find out.

Also she found something good in one of the grids of the space bag pack.

It is a pouch with money.

Gold coins X 2

Silver coins X 4

Bronze coins X 12

These are packed in that small pouch.

This is a substantial wealth.

In her previous life she worked till her death and did not make it to the gold coin.

But now she has more money than she can make using her body.

Even many powerful adventurers only have few gold coins on them.

She felt that she has to check more thoroughly.

But before searching she took out her note pad to mark this in her map.

She quickly made a small hidden treasure symbol and marked it as hidden treasure.

If she can find more hidden treasures she might trigger a skill that can let her detect the hidden treasures.

Well it is not 100 percent but she can detect hidden treasures and hidden mechanisms more often in the future.

She did not go out again because she has exhausted her stamina.

She took out the small stove from her bag and started to prepare simple food to eat.

When she ate chocolate piece before she felt that her stamina has recovered by 5 points per piece.

As soon as she checked this, it was marked in her identification thing.

If she finds the change for few other foods then it would give her a better understanding and might get the identification skill.

This is a very important skill and it can give her a source of making money in the future.

She knows that she is not a strong person compared to many.

So she has to plan things well to use her capabilities to get better benefits and live a better life.

She has grudges but she has to have enough strength to get her revenge.

She started cooking with her cut hands.

The blood has stopped flowing out.

What she is making is not a complicated food but instant noodles that she can get.

The stove is a battery stove and she can cook simple things.

She bought the cheapest one available and she cannot cook complicated dishes.

But she can make the simple dish into a complicated one as long as she is intelligent.

The more complicated the dish the more experience points she can get after completion.

If it tastes better then, it might even let her have a cooking skill or job class directly recognizing her craftsmanship.

This is similar to others with proficiency from real world.

For example, there is a swimmer and the dungeon system did not show his swimming skill right now.

If he finds a pool in the dungeon and swims in it with his proficiency he would quickly get the swimming skill and upon performing some of the types of swimming he might even get skill improvement.

She is using this in cooking.

Simple boiling or frying takes many attempts to get the cooking skill.

If she makes a dish instead, then the cooking skill would be triggered quickly.

So she first cooked the noodles to completion.

Then she boiled few eggs and small stripes of meat.

She also boiled some potato and carrot pieces separately

Then she started to cook the small vegetable she prepared, it is simple potato, tomato, onion, beans, capsicum…

She cut them on the spot slowly into small pieces and prepared the meal combining all these things.

The big bag pack has these cooking ingredients.

She also checked her bag of ingredients and most of them has this "????" symbol instead of the name of the item.

So she identified the items specifically which is over 20 to 30 items in total.

She knows that these things will have 1 or 2 experience points to trigger the identification skill because all these are minor things that anyone can identify

It is similar to obtaining the cooking skill or swimming skill before.

Since these things are common she might need longer to trigger the identification skill.

So she has to do something uncommon.

So, While cooking she prepared a small extra portion that would reach around 100 grams of everything.

She would eat it separately and check how much stamina or health points it would recover.

This identification can be added to the item and it is an uncommon thing.

Her current health points is 75/100 and stamina points is 43/100

As for why she took 100 grams because it is a food items and it requires at least 100 grams to become a unit to show some effect.

There is no measuring tool with her but she measured it with a spice pack that is not opened yet which is exactly 100 grams.

She would add a little extra to it so that it would be more than 100 and measure it with her hands.

She has plenty of time to play so she started with this process and continued to cook.

She spent an entire hour to cook things slowly and completed the dish.

At this time the aroma of the dish has made her stomach growling with hunger 

She took the first bite to taste and her eyes squinted with the taste.

It is really good because of the slow cooking.

She made the entire thing for so long.

The stove's battery can only last for cooking once again.

She is not worried because she prepared an extra battery.

The ingredients, stove, water and battery along with few others things weight over 20 kilograms on her bag pack.

She did not carry the bag all the time because it is too heavy and consumes her stamina quickly.

After the first bite she received a notification.

"Tring
