Leveling Up Through Eating

Chapter 6.2 - Garlic Bread And Soup



He remained seated while still continuing to eat the hard bread in Valen\'s house.

\'I wonder if the figure after the fullness stat changed again?\'

I don\'t know exactly how the rule for that works.

It\'s just that the only thing he knew was that the more he ate after his fullness reached 100% the more the figure would increase.

Minhyuk, who was extremely curious about the figure, opened his stats window.

"Stats Window."

(Minhyuk)

Level: 1

Class: None

HP: 114 MP: 100

STR: 9+5  AGI: 5+5  STM: 5+5

WIS: 5+5  INT: 5+5  Rep: 1

Fullness: 100%/3

Bonus Point: 0

\'It became 3?\'

It was only 2 before but it has now increased by 1.

\'Don\'t tell me that there\'s really no side effects?\'

No one really knew how Athenae\'s system works. Maybe there was something hidden about it.

Those moments, where you find something hidden, adds lots of fun when playing the game.

Minhyuk suddenly became restless but that didn\'t stop him from eating to his heart\'s content.

Bulimic patients usually intake 20,000 calories [1] a day. If left uncontrolled, they could even eat up to 50,000.

I probably should already have reached that amount with what I ate today.

Minhyuk, who was mumbling to himself, watched Valen stand up to go inside his room. And when he came out, he had a well-kept sword in his hands.

"Boy. [2]"

His voice was a bit soft. When Minhyuk turned around to face him, Valen smiled a little and he held out the sword towards him.

Lee Minhwa, the new employee, was very surprised at the scene she saw in her monitor.

"Kyaa!" [3]

[Ardo\'s Valen presents the Sword of Rebellion [4] to User Minhyuk as a gift.]

This alert was specifically designed to inform them about special users when they receive something special and could be heard within a wide area.

It was just yesterday when Minhyuk was classified as a level 5 special user and was then immediately put under monitoring. This was because he was the user who got the multi-title This Zone\'s Strong Guy.

"What the… What did you even do to make Valen give you his weapon?"

When Team Leader Park heard Lee Minhwa\'s small scream he had already rushed over.

"Instructor Valen was famous for being very difficult!"

"R-right... so why would he do that, then."

Minhwa was almost close to tears. When she saw Team Leader Park stood up with a look of excitement. She breathed a sigh of relief.

"The Sword of Rebellion is way too good for novices."

Even after he said that, Team Leader Park was still sporting a smile.

"The NPCs act so much like normal humans. That\'s what makes this thing fun… when they do something that we can\'t predict. This user is strangely so interesting. Continue to keep an eye on him."

"Ah, wait, there\'s still something I want to report."

Lee Minhwa talked after thinking about things carefully. Team Leader Park who was looking at the other employees stopped.

"What is it?"

Was there something else he did that needed to be reported?

"User Minhyuk has a /3 in his fullness stat."

".....It\'s not 1?"

"It was definitely 3."

"Hasn\'t it been only a few days since he logged in in Athenae?"

"Yes, it has been 3 days."

".....Was he eating all day every day?! No, does it even make sense for a normal human being? A normal person won\'t even do…"

"He was eating all day."

Team Leader Park opened and closed his mouth like a fish. [5]

"Did the number 1 mukbang BJ Binz [6] come out and played this game?

Mukbang BJ Binz. He was the talk of the town. He could eat ten bowls of jajangmyeon [7] and ten bowls of jjamppong [8] in one meal.

Team Leader Park considered this thought…

"That means he ate approximately 40,000~50,000 calories in a day? Are you sure it\'s still a man?"

The figure after the fullness stat reaches 100%... The condition to get that /1 was to eat at least 10,000 calories.

But this was the case of eating 40,000 to 50,000 calories in a day after having a 100% fullness stat. That\'s like eating 120~150 bowls of rice in a day.

"That user really just eats all day long?"

"He doesn\'t eat when he sleeps."

"Crazy… He ate 40,000-50,000 calories in a day? But the character will also feel full once the fullness stat reaches 100%, right?"

Team Leader Park looked very serious. When Lee Minhwa saw his expression, she immediately said…

"Wouldn\'t he be able to challenge a God class if he reaches 7?"

"That\'s right."

He nodded.

A God class.

It\'s one of the job classes that users can have in Athenae.

Jobs can be classified as follows: General class, Hidden class, Secret class, Legendary class and God class.

Special users usually get the hidden and secret classes. There were no cases as of yet of someone getting a legendary class.

Tsk, it\'s guaranteed.

And there\'s the god class. There\'s not that much released in the world as of the moment.

"The god class that User Minhyuk is approaching was supposed to be unreachable…"

That\'s right.

Among the god classes, there were ones that clearly have the most demanding and most nonsensical conditions.

And Minhyuk was getting close to one of those god classes.

"It\'s crazy… You have to eat 40,000 calories for 10 days to get it. Don\'t tell me that he can do it?"

No matter how much he thought about it, it still wouldn\'t make any sense.

Unless he\'s really trying to eat in the game!

"Just in case, raise him to User Level 4 and keep an eye on him. If it turns into 6 you should let me know."

"Yes, I understand."

After saying everything, Team Leader Park turned around.

"Oh my god. It doesn\'t even make sense to eat 40,000 calories for ten straight days, right it definitely won\'t happen. It\'s totally impossible for a person to do that. But he\'s been crazy for three days."

Team Leader Park mumbled to himself.

Lee Minhwa dragged her eyes towards her monitor and unconsciously muttered.

"Why do I think that he can do it…?"

She couldn\'t stop thinking about this strange thought that sprouted in her mind.

***

"This…"

Minhyuk looked at him curiously. The sword was sharp and well-kept and Instructor Valen was handing it over to him.

The notifications rang in his ears.

[You have acquired the Sword of Rebellion.]

[You can now travel freely between Ardo\'s novice hunting training grounds and the scarecrow training grounds.]

[You have gained 2 reputation points.]

Footnotes

[1] I\'m not too sure if the numbers are correct but I found an article that says that a bulimic patient can eat up to 3400 calories in an hour and up to 20000 calories in 8 hours so it may be correct. Just remember that the human body needs 1200 calories to be healthy and we can intake max 2000-2500 calories per day.

[2] Valen usually calls Minhyuk 자네 it just doesn\'t show in my other tls of their conversations since it doesn\'t flow well but just know that this is what older males usually calls their younger male friends. Or so I know… So I used boy since it seems appropriate.

[3] 꺅 is a sort of yelp or shriek. So I used kyaa.

[4] the raw says 발란의 검, 검 is sword and 발란 means rebellion. I may refer to this as Valan in the future but I will also note it in the footnotes if I do that.

[5] It says carp but let\'s not be fancy and make it easy to understand

[6] BJ means broadcast jockey, a unique KR term for bloggers and youtubers.

[7] Jajangmyeon is a black bean noodle dish.

[8] Jjamppong is a spicy seafood noodle dish

TL corner!!!

So I actually decided to start translating this after reading the manhwa. And I also only read this while I translate so I can now see that there are important pieces that were skipped in the manhwa like the title he got which explains why he\'s stronger than the rest with a lower level and why he obtained a different class.

I\'m also a bit confused about the numbers… they said that /1 = 10,000 calories but then Minhyuk has /3 but they said that he ate approx 40-50k calories… How does that work????
