[You have completed the Mine Iron Ores quest.]
[You have received your recomndation letter from the Mining Association.]
After Broken received his recomndation letter, he was filled with hope that Fokil would recognize his hard work and reward him with sothing interesting. He felt it was ti to return to the Dwarf Blacksmith and present his efforts.
As he walked back to the smithy, he suddenly felt a pang of hunger in his stomach. He thought to himself that he needed to eat sothing. It was indeed a combination of real hunger from his physical body and the ga's hunger system, which required players to fulfill their needs. While food in the real world genuinely satisfied his hunger, in-ga food rely removed the hunger status. Eating in the ga could also restore stamina, health, and mana.
[You are on the brink of starvation, as you haven't ingested any food in days. Your stats have been reduced by 30%.]
[Go to the nearest food stall and fulfill your eating desire, or else you might collapse from hunger on the street like a dead rat.]
"Thanks for the advice, system. I know you do this just to make spend my money, right?" he thought to himself.
He pondered, "But it seems I've been playing for an especially long ti today, and I haven't even had breakfast yet. I think I should look for food in the ga before logging out and getting sothing to eat in the real world to satisfy my physical appetite."
Broken walked toward the market, eager to find sothing more enjoyable to eat than the bread he'd been consuming for too long.
"Maybe I'll buy so real food this ti," he thought. "I have enough money for that, right?"
He stepped into a food stall and, without hesitation, took a seat. A male waiter abruptly threw a nu paper at him and, in an annoyed tone, demanded, "What do you want? Please be quick."
Broken furrowed his brow. Why are the NPCs in this ga so unfriendly? Are they designed that way, or do I look like a beggar?
"What do you recomnd?" he asked.
"Please be quick. Buy the most expensive item; it makes my job easier," the waiter replied.
Broken sighed and shooed the waiter away. "I'll call you again once I've read the nu."
The waiter left with an irritated expression.
[Goblin Skewers: Marinated chunks of goblin at threaded onto skewers and grilled to perfection.]
[Phoenix Wings: Crispy, golden-brown wings of a phoenix, served with a sweet and tangy dipping sauce.]
He thought to himself, "What the heck are these nus? They can't actually be trying to sell phoenix wings, can they?" He then called the waiter and asked, "Is this the real deal? Is it a phoenix's wings?"
The waiter scoffed, "Of course not. Just order quickly and save the trouble, okay?"
"I want this one, Minotaur Burger," Broken declared.
The waiter swiftly departed, only to reappear minutes later with a burger that was five tis larger than a standard real-world burger.
To his surprise, the at itself was huge - approximately one kilogram - making him gasp in awe.
"Look at the size," he uttered, shaking his head in disbelief. "Can I finish it?"
He could feel his physical body drooling just by looking at the burger in front of him, and even the aroma was palpable through his ga senses.
"I would never have been able to finish sothing like this in the real world."
The food in front of him was quite a luxurious al for a beginner, costing him around 10 silver. As he bit into the burger, he was filled with curiosity. Closing his eyes, he felt a sensation he had never experienced before.
"Man... How can sothing taste like this really feel on my tongue?" he exclaid in amazent. "I an, dammit! The capsule device injecting this kind of taste directly into the brain is truly amazing."
Every player in Immortal Legacy wouldn't actually be full in their physical body, but there was still a limit to the amount of food one could eat at one ti. Their virtual body could still beco full, even though the amount they could eat was many tis more than in the real world. This limitation was implented to prevent addiction to in-ga experiences. Despite many demands to remove this restriction, the developers seed indifferent to the outcry.
There were even people who played the ga just to satisfy their food cravings. Here, they could find things they might not be able to get in the real world, even though the price could be higher. The sensation of eating delicious food in large quantities without having to travel far was an irresistible deal for everyone.
Broken savored every bite of the massive burger, feeling a deep sense of satisfaction. "This is incredible," he thought. "I might just spend my entire ti in the ga eating if the food always tastes this good."
He truly savored every bite of the burger. Even the bun tasted incredibly savory and lted in his mouth, while the cheese and at combined to create a rich flavor that danced on his tongue. It was an extraordinary experience. Broken didn't let a drop of sauce go to waste, licking his plate clean. He didn't let any part of the burger go to waste. The al's price was quite high; he could feed an entire household for the sa amount in the real world. But with this kind of experience, he felt it was absolutely worth it.
He had earned money by mining ores all night in the cave. He still had enough coins left to spend on other things, so he was okay with indulging a little. This motivated him to work even harder and earn more money, and he wanted to share this experience with Lily, too.
Broken had devoured the food with relish, forgetting that his actual physical body was also hungry. After finishing the al, the content look on his face made it clear he had thoroughly enjoyed this kind of lifestyle.
"Let's do more things like this in the future," he said, thoughtfully pausing for a mont before adding, "I wonder if I could bring Lily to a ga center and let her experience this kind of sensation too."
As he finished his al, he felt rejuvenated and realized he could probably eat another burger. But he decided to save that indulgence for another ti. He was now ready to continue his quest.
"Now, I need to see Fokil," he said.
[You have eaten a large portion of the Minotaur Burger.]
[Random stats will be given temporarily.]
[You gain a Strength stat increase of 10 for 24 hours.]
[You gain a Stamina stat increase of 10 for 24 hours.]
Broken nodded slowly after he had finished his hearty al. "So, this kind of stat bonus makes food like this even more valuable. With a bonus of 20 stats, which can be equated to two level increases, it's a major boon. Anyone planning to go on a monster raid would find it worthwhile to consider eating sothing this expensive, or even more expensive than this."
He earned a significant amount of money in one night's worth of mining in Immortal Legacy. Even though it was still in-ga currency, if he converted it into dollars, it was equivalent to a week's salary from his previous job at the convenience store.
"At least, if I focus solely on mining, it's already a better outco than my old job. But then, I can do even better and greater than this," he said confidently.
He hastily exited the diner, and with the lingering taste of the al still on his tongue, he hurried towards Fokil's smithy. It only took him a few minutes to arrive, and just as he did, he noticed the door to the smithy was slightly open.
"Excuse , Mr. Fokil," Broken said quietly, but he was sure that the dwarf could still hear him. "I brought a recomndation letter that I want to show you."
But there was no answer. "Where is he?" he thought.
