"Yeah. Give a second." a female voice was heard from the kitchen.
The restaurant only had four tables, so Adam ca to the conclusion that the chef only did all the things, whether it be taking orders, cooking, or servicing.
" Unni's na is Do Yoon, her restaurant is only open two hours a day," Soo-min muttered.
When the chef ca out, Soo-min said" This unni is a really famous chef in the real world, so, you can try the dishes here, it will be really good"
"The reason she opened the restaurant in [Horizon] is that she said it was fun cooking ingredients that could only be found in Ga," she said
"Please enjoy." Do Yoon, who finished serving her custors, motioned for Adam and Soo-min to co over.
She was standing at a table with a middle-aged man, who gave off a simple vibe and was currently enjoying his dessert.
"Say hello. This is Mr. Dink. He's Royal Workshop's best craftsman, which is renowned for its high-quality goods." Do Yoon introduce the middle-aged man?
"Hello, my na is Adam."
"My na is Soo-Min ."
Adam and Soo-min imdiately introduced themselves.
"They're my close friends," Do Yoon said softly.
"It's a pleasure to et you." Dink smiled.
"They are the ones who wanted to et . right?"
"That's right." Do Yoon nodded her head.
"So why did you want to see ?" Dink asked.
His actions, his tone, and his speech were all polite and respectful. He wasn't the type of person to lord over others using his position or his age as an excuse.
"I have a favor to ask you," Adam said carefully.
"What is it?"
"Have you ever worked with Snake Queen's materials before?"
"It's the one of best leather. And I have so experience with it, yes."
"I'd like you to make so leather armor with it." Adam went straight to the point.
"How much do you have?"
"Enough for making 4 leather suits"
"You have quite a bit in stock. Where exactly did you get it? No..."
Like most craftsn, dink's creative urges flared whenever he was presented with rare material.
However...!
"I don't know how to make armor. I've only ever made craft items, so I can't help you," Dink said, explaining why he couldn't fulfill his request.
"You can make it with a Master Blacksmith; very skilled blacksmith at that. You just need to process the leather."
"Mm. It's quite an enticing offer. To think I'd get the chance to work with a dwarf blacksmith and touch Snake Queen's skin." Dink's eyes glead.
"Then?"
"Please bring Master Blacksmith to Royal Workshop. I'd like to et him and have a long discussion."
"That'd be kind of difficult."
"Why?"
"There are so difficult circumstances that force the blacksmith to stay inside. You can go to him, but he can't co to you."
"Mm." He looked to be at his wit's end.
"Can't you co with , Mr. Dink?" Adam said carefully.
"Is it far?"
"It is not that far, we can reach there in few minutes."
"Hmm, I'm kind of busy myself, so I can't afford to just leave..." Dink stroked his beard.
"Then, let's go right now."
"Right now?"
"Yes. I won't take too much of your ti. And I'll guarantee your safety."
"I can't trust you."
This was the first ti he had t with Adam. How could he trust him to keep him safe? Not only that, but he was taking him to soplace he'd never been to before.
This was a conclusion that any rational person would co to.
"If it puts you at ease, please bring the workshop's guards. These are rare materials we're talking about here. They're not sothing you can get just anywhere." Adam tried persuading him.
"Mm." Dink was locked in thought. 'What do I get?'
"If we have any leather left over, I'll give it to you as a gift."
Adam threw him so huge bait. 'Fall for it!'
"Mm." Dink's eyes shook. 'Snake Queen's materials!'
Soo-min helped him out too. She clasped her hands at Do Yoon. 'Unni, help!'
She sighed and said, "Mr. Dink, I'll go with you."
"You're willing to co with , Chef?"
"Yes. You might not trust them, but you trust right?."
"I do. Anyone who's tasted your food would trust you." Dink smiled, and Do Yoon followed suit. He was absolutely obsessed with Do Yoon's cooking, so he ca here every day.
"Alright. Then I, two guards, and Chef Do, will accompany you." Dink finally accepted Adam's request.
"Thank you." Adam bowed his head.
They reached before Nora's shop after so ti.
Dink showed an expression full of suspicion and confusion, Adam looked at him for a second before saying.
"Please co this way."
As soon as he entered Nora's granddaughter greeted them and then, went in to call her grandfather.
"Mr. Nora, I've brought over a Master Tailor."
"Already?" Nora gave a surprised expression as soon as he ca out.
Adam hadn't even left for very long and had co back with a Master Tailor. Even he couldn't help but be surprised.
"This is Master Blacksmith, Mr. Nora, And this person is Master Tailor, Mr. Dink." Adam introduced the two to each other, and they shook hands.
"My na is Nora."
"I am Dink."
"May I see the snake queen's materials?" Dink didn't mind the shabby shop or the looks of the Nora he went straight to the point.
"Of course." Nora led him to a shelf, where the snake queen's materials were placed.
"Ooh." Dink marveled at the sight. The shelf was only filled with snake queen's materials.
"Mr. Nora, Mr. Dink stated that he specialized in leather goods, but he was unable to make armor, so..."
Dink raised his hand and stopped him. "From here, we'll take care of it ourselves."
"Excuse ?"
Nora stared at Dink, hearing his words. "Mr. Nora I can tell your workmanship is at another level just by seeing these weapons displayed here," Dink said strongly and smiled.
"That's... Ah, we'll take it from here, so please leave." Nora waved his hand at Adam. In other words, 'You'll get in the way, so please leave.'.
"Understood!" Adam said as he left the shop.
Soo Min and Do Yoon also left the private workplace.
---
Outside the shop.
"It went well, right?" the Korean girl asked.
"Yeah. It couldn't go any better." Adam grinned. Then, he bowed towards Do Yoon. "Thank you for your help."
"It wasn't free." she smiled impishly.
"Yes, I'll pay you back. Just say the word," Adam replied, after all, he has millions and millions of Gold, there are players, who are still visiting his dungeon so his inco wasn't cut off.
"Hehe, I was just kidding. Co eat at my restaurant next ti. Watching people enjoy my food is good enough for ."
'Is Korean people always like this' adam thought and gave her a smile.
"Understood! but, I think I'll have to go now. I'll see you later."
"Yes."
"See you later, Unni."
Do Yoon logged out. But, Soo-min still followed adam.
"Oppa, what are you going to do now?"
"I've done everything I needed to do, so I'm going to go out and earn EXP"
"Can I also join you?" She suddenly pulled Adam's hand.
"Sorry."
Adam really wanted to do a hunt with a summoner too. However, today he was going to explore a new dungeon so, Adam didn't want to bring Soo-min with him
"Mm."
Chirp!
At so point, the little chicken, who'd remained within her chest, popped its head out and warbled.
"Ah, that's right."
Upon seeing the bird, Adam rembered sothing. He pulled out a Book from his inventory and passed it to Soo-min.
"What's this?"
"It will be helpful for you and your little chicken"
"hm? Her na is Rosy" as she said Soo min tilted her head towards Adam.
"Its na is summoner Book. Using this book either increases a pet's growth or randomly teaches you a Tar skill."
"Hmm, this is..." She looked the book over. "Can I use it right away?"
"Of course you can. Use it however you wish."
"Hehe, then I'm going to use it!" Soo-min opened the Book and bright light radiated from within.
[You have opened a book Summoner's Book.]
[You have solved the hidden quest, you have discovered the phoenix chick]
[You may choose between two choices.]
[1. Increase a pet's growth. Applicable Target: Phoenix Rosy.]
[2. Learn a random Tar skill. There is a 5% chance that you learn a Tar secret move.]
Soo-min was shocked upon knowing that her little chicken was a phoenix chick, She stared at adam for a mont and said that Rosy was a phoenix chick, he pretended and congratulated her,
Then, Soo-min chose option #1.
"Give Rosy strength!"
Bam!
The Book burned. Despite that, her hands didn't feel hot at all.
The flas slowly rose and pushed into Soo min's chest. To be more specific, they were seeping into Rosy, who'd extended its head.
Chirp!
Although it looked like a chick, it was actually a Phoenix. High-quality flas were not only its favorite food but the most nutritious food for it!
It opened its small mouth and imdiately devoured the flas!
A short while later...
Burp!
Once it finished its al, Rosy burped. Small flas, like that of a lighter, ca out of its beak, but it imdiately consud that tiny light too.
Chirp!
Rosy forcefully flapped its wings. Its body and wings had gotten slightly larger, and the feather on its head had beco red.
[The Phoenix Chick, Rudy, has grown. Rosy's growth rate has increased.]
[It may now spew weak flas. It is strong enough to light matches.]
[Once a week, it may transform into a true Phoenix for 5 minutes. However, the size of its true form is determined by how much fire it has eaten thus far.]
[If you make Rosy the phoenix chick as your main summon, Your abilities as a summoner will increase depending on how much Rosy has grown.]
She quickly read the system ssages.
"Transform into a Phoenix's body?" Soo-min muttered.
At that mont...
Chirp!
All of a sudden, Rosy's body transford into a large, uncontainable fire.. Then, it stared at them with its bright, beady eyes, but with a Phoenix's body, not a chick's.
