Setting aside his bewilderment for a moment, Mo Yeon-hu quickly switched his chat window to the league chat, which was lighting up with red notifications.
(League) Shin Jadu: Wow, why did the gold price for food ingredients go up so much??
(League) Shin Jadu: I guess I’ll have to harvest all the spices now;?
(League) BBQ: I heard new cooking recipes came out today lolol (League) Kim Factory: Looking at the update list, the new recipes seem better than expected omg (League) BBQ: Yeah, I still need to do some research and change the combinations, but I think this is the best one yet?? lolol I’m so hyped (League) 1BiGwi1: Wow, the prices are freaking brutal. Farming might be the path to riches lolol (League) BBQ: lolol yeah I’m excited
(League) BBQ: Finally, the chef is seeing the light lolol (League) GoodLuck: I love farming~ Farming and building are the best for clearing your mind~
The Alliance Members happened to be discussing the details of today’s update.
‘Looks like there were some changes related to cooking?’
No wonder BBQ seemed exceptionally happy; as someone who loves cooking, this update seemed quite enjoyable for them.
(League) BBQ: Since cooking got updated, who wants to go farming with me~
(League) BBQ: I’ll give you something tasty if you come along lolol ‘Should I just go farming with BBQ? I can scout their movement route a bit too.’
He had nothing else to do anyway, and following the Alliance Members around to farm had been surprisingly fun, so Mo Yeon-hu joined in without hesitation.
(League) 0momo0: BBQ, me!! Me!
(League) BBQ: Oh!!
(League) Shin Jadu: Gasp, are you sure? Spice gathering is seriously so boring…
(League) 1BiGwi1: For real, there’s no satisfaction in the feel of the harvest (League) Shin Jadu: It’s not a matter of satisfaction, it’s stressful ㅠ
(League) 0momo0: Gasp, why?
(League) Shin Jadu: Saffron? I tried gathering that and the mini game was so frustrating…
(League) GoodLuck: Saffron is a pain~ You have to accurately touch the stigma?? inside the flower three times lol it’s maddening~
(League) MouseTrap: Exactly ㅠㅠ I tried cinnamon and got so pissed I quit.. ㅠㅠ I spent an hour just looking at tree bark ㅠㅠ It’s so delicate that I ended up splitting all the bark ㅠ lol (League) BBQ: Seriously, read the room everyone He had wondered why no one else volunteered, and it seemed the difficulty of the spice harvesting mini games was quite high.
‘Just how hard is it?’
He wasn’t particularly good at mini games—in fact, he was on the worse side—but hearing everyone complain only made him more curious.
(League) 0momo0: I’m okay lolol
(League) 0momo0: I’ve never tried gathering spices, so I’m curious and want to go. I might not be great at it… please teach me!!
(League) BBQ: Wow… only Momo is there for me…
(League) BBQ: Then let’s head to the Alliance Territory gathering area lolol! C Outer Wall entrance go go (League) 0momo0: Okay!!
As he was replying, a message popped up.
(CH03) Miu: Farming?
It seemed Miu had seen the chat as soon as they returned from the restroom, as a private message arrived immediately.
(CH03) 0momo0: Did you get back from the restroom okay?
(CH03) Miu: Yes hehe
(CH03) Miu: But what’s this about farming?
(CH03) 0momo0: Ah… I’m just going to do some farming today (CH03) Miu: ?
(CH03) Miu: With BBQ?
(CH03) 0momo0: Uh-huh
(CH03) Miu: Why?
(CH03) 0momo0: ?? Just because BQ was looking for someone to farm with…
(CH03) Miu: If you look at the league chat, Shin Jadu is also looking for someone to collect Dark Zombie materials. Why aren’t you going to that?
Did Shin Jadu suggest harvesting together? Following Miu’s words, he scrolled up and saw a few messages…
(CH03) 0momo0: Ah, right… I must have missed it ㅠㅠ
(CH03) 0momo0: But I’m more in the mood for farming right now, so I’m going to go!! hehe (CH03) Miu: Why are you going with BBQ and not me?
(CH03) 0momo0: ???.. Did you want to farm?
(CH03) Miu: Not exactly
Then why ask why he wasn’t going with them?
The following question was even more baffling.
(CH03) Miu: Momo, you know that, right?
(CH03) Miu: That BBQ is a man?
Mo Yeon-hu tilted his head at the fact that such an obvious truth was being stated with such extreme seriousness.
(CH03) 0momo0: Huh?? Of course I know!!
(CH03) 0momo0: I heard their voice last time!
(CH03) Miu: ?
(CH03) Miu: How?
(CH03) Miu: Why did you hear their voice??
They’re being really weird today…
(CH03) 0momo0: We did the Siege Warfare together last time! I heard it then hehe why??
(CH03) Miu: Ah
(CH03) 0momo0: Anyway, I’m heading out!
Though it was suspicious, considering yesterday, he thought it could happen.
‘They must be tired!’
Mo Yeon-hu said goodbye to Miu and moved his character. Upon arriving at the agreed outer wall, he saw BBQ standing there wearing a large gathering backpack.
(League) 0momo0: I’m here
(League) 0momo0: Wow, what a cool bag
(League) BBQ: Hehe, a chef has to have at least this much lolol (League) 0momo0: It’s pretty!
(League) BBQ: Oh stop, you’re making me blush lolol (League) BBQ: Let’s go lol
Now it was time to depart.
The gathering spot where the spices were planted seemed quite far, so BBQ summoned a Mount. Just as Mo Yeon-hu was about to summon his Bike…
(League) BBQ: But… what is this?
(League) BBQ: Why do I see the Alliance Master behind Momo? lol Mo Yeon-hu flinched as he turned around at BBQ’s chat.
He had heard a faint pitter-patter sound behind him all the way here, but since there were plenty of Alliance Members and soldiers wandering the Alliance Territory, he hadn’t paid it any mind.
(League) 0momo0: ?? Huh?
(League) Miu: Hello
Miu was suddenly standing behind him.
(League) 0momo0: Why are you here
(League) 0momo0: ?
He had almost spoken informally, but remembering that he hadn’t shown himself speaking casually in front of the Alliance Members, he quickly added a polite ending. Even if they had reconciled, it would be strange to suddenly appear too close.
(League) Miu: I’m going to do some farming too hehe Meanwhile, Miu was smiling naturally. Perhaps because of the new updated recipes, Miu seemed curious about spice farming as well.
(League) Shin Jadu: What??
(League) BBQ: Eh?
(League) 1BiGwi1: ???
(League) 1BiGwi1: The Alliance Master… is farming…
(League) Shin Jadu: Miu is farming????
The Alliance Members all seemed shocked that Miu was going to farm. Come to think of it, Mo Yeon-hu didn’t think he had ever seen Miu farming either.
He recalled seeing them mention needing materials for daily quests or equipment occasionally. But didn’t they just buy those from Alliance Members back then?
(League) Miu: I’ve always liked farming lol (League) Miu: Why is everyone acting like this?
(League) Miu: Do you have some kind of complaint…
(League) 1BiGwi1: No sir;
(League) Shin Jadu: No, no we don’t;;
(League) BBQ: lol… ㅠㅠ
(League) Miu: BQ, do you dislike me?
(League) BBQ: No, it’s totally reassuring;; lolol (League) BBQ: Good;; bbb hehe
(League) Miu: Then why do you keep sweating while saying it’s good?
(League) Miu: And Momo isn’t saying anything Miu moved their character to stand in front of BBQ. Then, looking back and forth between BBQ and Mo Yeon-hu’s characters, they spoke.
(League) Miu: Actually, I wanted the two of you to go alone (League) Miu: Did I interrupt?
