PD Kim Daeguk of ATV still hasn’t forgotten about the highest rating in ATV’s history. The viewer rating reached as much as 61.4%.

The other broadcasting stations had laughed at ATV when they chose to broadcast Legend Guild back then. But Legend Guild and Black Dragon and the Boys were the ones who overturned the results. And the user that gave them the highest rating was none other than Food God Minhyuk. And that Minhyuk had shown another great power in front of them.

PD Kim Daeguk quickly checked the real-time comments.

Just like the comments, PD Kim Daeguk was also curious.

‘Where was he and what did he do during the past few days that he did not appear?’

From his huge scythe, to his oven explosion skill down to Kongie’s appearance. Everything had changed. However, a helpless smile still spread on his face.

“But still…”

It will still be hard for him to hunt that, right?

Perhaps Athenae had set the next update in the direction of failure and not success in the recapture of the Elven Forest. Of course, they wouldn’t bet their everything in that direction. But looking at the current situation, Athenae must have definitely only calculated a 5% winning chance on the side of the users.

“The ratings went up by more than 5%!”

“Wow…! I’ve never seen such a skill in my life!! It’s really amazing. Looking at the explosion, he could take out the demonic beasts and demons but probably also be able to take out a decent noble demon too.”

PD Kim Daeguk nodded his head but a bitter smile still hung around his lips. Fortunately, the rankers safely arrived behind Minhyuk after he triggered the skill. But PD Kim Daeguk still expected something from Minhyuk despite the bitter smile on his face.

‘Well then, User Minhyuk… what kind of strength are you going to show us?’

He obviously had something if he called for the users to gather together.

Then, Minhyuk raised his hands up in the sky.

The eyes of PD Kim Daeguk and the people in the broadcasting station shone in anticipation.

Minhyuk shouted…

“Keok?!!!”

“Wh, what? Have a what?!”

The people at the broadcasting station were flustered when they heard him shout Let’s have a meal!. This was because this was the first time that Minhyuk had used the ‘Let’s have a meal’ skill in public.

Just like them, the viewers also found the situation to be ridiculously absurd.

At that moment, a lot of people’s expectations were suddenly dampened.

Thanks to Alicia, Lee Hoseung barely managed to survive being forced to log out. He was also one of the users who had been desperately running towards Minhyuk after hearing his cry. When he heard the name of Minhyuk’s skill, he couldn’t believe his ears for a moment.

“Let’s… Let’s have a meal, what?”

And he wasn’t the only one. Even the other rankers started to make a fuss.

“Ah… Did, did we gather here to have a meal?”

“No matter how desperate we are, eating is a bit…”

Then, a huge barrier was created.

And amidst the fuss of the rankers, Minhyuk was eagerly hoping.

‘Please, please, please, please, please!!’

Minhyuk was actually not certain about this. He was only expecting it to work.

Then…

Ring!

‘Oh…’

It was the perfect skill for their current situation. Minhyuk immediately checked the recipe that was created from his new skill.

The Food God’s Recipe broke out of the loop of the traditional way of producing excellent buffed dishes. Once he completed an excellent dish and achieved great harmony, the ranking of the dish would increase.

Minhyuk couldn’t help but feel amazed.

‘That’s right! I’m feeling so stressed right now so I definitely need a spicy hot flavor to get rid of it!’

The best in terms of spiciness in the ramyeon world.

Fire Chicken Stir-Fried Noodles.

Although Fire Chicken Stir-Fried Noodles was spicy enough to make one’s tongue tingle, its spiciness was at a strangely delicious level. Because of that, it was a food that was loved by many.

As soon as Minhyuk used his ‘Let’s Have a Meal’ skill, he also hurriedly began to cook the Fire Chicken Stir-Fried Noodles while making sure to create harmony.

Meanwhile, Lee Hoseung looked at him with expectations when he saw him taking something out.

‘That’s right. User Minhyuk is a Food God. He’s the one who beat the Crown Prince of Swords Carr and swept the Demon Army alone… He must have some sort of secret potion… Keoheok?!!

The faces of Lee Hoseung and the other rankers crumpled as if they wanted to cry.

“Fi, fire Chicken Stir-Fried Noodles…?”

“We’re doomed… this is our end…”

“Soob!”

It was our fault! Why did we place our trust in him!

They immediately gathered together as they discussed how they would hunt Barach once the barrier was gone.

Meanwhile, Minhyuk opened the lid of a cup of Fire Chicken Stir-Fried Noodles. He could see the flakes powder and the liquid soup pack resting on top of the on the Fire Chicken Stir-Fried Noodles.

Minhyuk thought about it before he started cooking.

‘Should I add a variety of things inside or should I add the things that I eat together with the Fire Chicken Stir-Fried Noodles?’

He thought about it for a second.

There were tons of recipes circulating on the internet on how to enjoy the Fire Chicken Stir-Fried Noodles. Minhyuk nodded his head as he chose one among those.

‘Let’s put the most basic ingredients that should be eaten with the Fire Chicken Stir-Fried Noodles then add other things that I can eat together.’

He poured hot water into the Fire Chicken Stir-Fried Noodles. Then, he put oil on his frying pan, heated it and added two eggs.

Sizzleeeeee―

An exciting and entrancing sound came out of his pan as he cooked the egg making sure that he wouldn’t cook the yolk fully.

Then, Minhyuk reached his hand out towards the microwave. He quickly opened the door of the microwave as he placed the bulgogi-flavored sausage that was stuck on a wooden stick and had its plastic wrapper slightly opened.

After doing all of that, his Fire Chicken Stir-Fried Noodles was finally done cooking. He quickly poked the lid with his chopsticks as he discarded the hot water. Then, he peeled the lid off completely as he sprinkled the flakes, seaweed powder, sesame seeds and a lot of various things before adding the liquid soup.

“Hmm~ Smell~”

The unique spicy scent wafted to his nose. The scent was so spicy that it immediately stimulated his mouth making him drool.

After squeezing the liquid soup pack, he quickly mixed it together with his chopsticks. Mixing was an art that made the yellow noodles turn red.

Once he was done mixing, he placed a long string cheese on top of it. And just in time…

Ding!

The ham bar that was heated in the microwave was quickly taken out and added to his Fire Chicken Stir-Fried Noodles.

Then, he placed the entire cup in the microwave.

Minhyuk looked at the microwave in anticipation. Then…

Ding!

Minhyuk hurriedly pulled the cup out of the microwave once he heard the ding!.

“Hot! Hot! Hot!”

He felt the heat transferring to the tips of his fingers as he hurriedly took the cup out.

As soon as he looked at the Fire Chicken Stir-Fried Noodles, he felt like he was looking at art itself. The white cheese melted like snow and piled up on top of the fiery red noodles. He couldn’t help but let out a gasp of admiration when he saw the cheese stretch out with just a slight touch of his chopsticks.

He quickly started to arrange the setting.

Fire Chicken Stir-Fried Noodles, microwave heated ham bar, tuna mayo triangular kimbap and peach-flavored Julpis.

“Kyaah! It’s done, it’s done!”

Minhyuk quickly stirred with his chopsticks. He even purposely left out the fried egg. He held the noodle cup in one hand as he used his other hand to lift the noodles and the cheese with his chopsticks.

Just a small whiff could let him smell the spicy flavor of the food on his hands. Then…

Sluuuuuurp!

The deliciously spicy taste that was mellowed out by the soft cheese greeted him in his first bite.

After taking one big bite, he held out his chopsticks again and took another big one.

Sluuuuuurp~

The charm of the Fire Chicken Stir-Fried Noodles was its spiciness that gradually increased in intensity the longer you ate.

“Fwwwwip! Hooo!”

He couldn’t help but let out a breath as he soothed his hot and tingling tongue while biting on his fried egg. The light and soft flavor of the fried egg evened out the spiciness for a bit. Then, he took another bite of the spicy noodles before taking a bite out of the ham bar.

Chew, chew, chew―

The juicy ham bar and its soft texture brought a smile to his face.

And the commentators…

And the rankers, with Lee Hoseung among them, who looked at Minhyuk strangely just a while ago…

Gulp―

Their throat moved as they let out a loud gulp without them realizing it.

“Looks, looks delicious…”

This time, Minhyuk won against Barach in this strange battle of nerves with his mukbang.

Notes

The Fire Chicken Stir-Fried Noodles is what I believe to be the one made by samyang. That super spicy one. I like the cheese flavor tho. Kekeke.

TL’s corner!

I honestly don’t know where he got a microwave oven. At this point in time, I believe that its his oven of destruction that is working as a microwave oven. Or maybe microwave ovens are for sale in Athenae????
