BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1029: New Skills
"Sooo what with the huge dragon over there?!" Asked Rita. "Is nobody going to ask about it!" She asked while eating a burger.
"I just assumed it was another summon or something, Planta always has a million summons anyways!" Lily giggled.
"Yeah." Acorn nodded. "But now I\'m curious, who is he?"
"He\'s Gordon, a soul-bound gourmet spirit." I said. "I created him just now; he\'ll help us with cooking… And also fighting too!"
"Yes, yes, I can fight really well!" Gordon roared from the distance.
"See? He\'s not a temporary summon like always, but a permanent spirit I\'ll have around at all times." I smiled. "Pretty handy, right?"
"Sounds really convenient! Just how easy are you going to make your life? Sheesh." Rita groaned. "Well, the food is really good, and I got stronger as well~"
"Indeed, I would be lying if I said I didn\'t come back just to eat the delicious food Lady Planta makes." Johanna nodded. "Though, I also came to help. I told my Granny I was done with the dungeon raid, and I thought she would let me slack off- I mean, concentrate on my meditation and cultivation of my Nature Soul, but she told me I hadn\'t done anything worth mentioning! And sent me back to help…"
"Hahaha! Serves you right, you brat!" Rita laughed. "You\'re going to help in anything you can then!"
"Ugh…" Johanna groaned. "A-At least the food is good."
"Please be more respectful of my liege…" Nieve said, staring at Johanna with a dead stare.
"Why should I?!" Johanna barked back. "What with that stare? Wanna go?"
"…" Nieve remained in silence, and slowly began to unsheathe her rapier.
"Wait, wait, come on, be nicer to each other!" I sighed. "I thought you girls got along a bit better after the dungeon raid… Guess not completely yet."
"I apologize…" Nieve said.
"Bleh…" Johanna shrugged. "So what are we going to do now?"
"We were planning on infiltrating the magician tower today." I said. "So I don\'t think we\'ll need your help, Johanna."
"Oh? Nice! Then I can just go back home and-"
"However, I appreciate your grandma for sending you here to help! So how about you help me on forging more weapons? You\'ll get stronger too, gaining EXP from making items and also new skills, so it\'s a win-win, right?" I asked.
"Eh?!" She screamed. "Wait… No, I can reject that offer, right?"
"You sure can! But I will tell your grandma you were acting cocky, picking up fights with my friends, and coming here to eat for free." I said with a smile. "Those are Divine Dishes worth thousands of golds, you know?"
"No way…" She muttered, looking at the empty plates in front of her, she had already eaten like ten dishes, and was on her eleventh. "Ugh, okay… Fine."
"Don\'t worry, I\'ll pay you with more food later~" I giggled.
As we finished our big meal, we decided to start doing our Evolutions and Rank Ups.
Not without first seeing that I had gained several boosts after eating all those Divine Dishes.
I usually never feel bloated after eating in BNLO, but right now, that was an exception, I might have eaten too much, just so I could get some boost…
Ding!
[You have eaten a large quantity of Divine Dishes.]
[Their power flows into your body! You have received several buffs, and your Health, Mana, and Satiation have been fully recovered.]

[You learned the Skills: [Jurassic Roar: Lv-- (Divine Dish Skill)], [Beast Fire: Lv-- (Divine Dish Skill)], [Prehistoric Strength: Lv-- (Divine Dish Skill)], and [Detect Prey: Lv-- (Divine Dish Skill)]!]
Oooh, I gained quite a lot of Divine Dish Skills this time, and the stat boosts aren\'t bad at all either, they\'re permanent after all. Over time, they\'ll build up quite a lot.
"Jurassic Roar, Beast Fire, Prehistoric Strength, and Detect Prey…!" I analyzed the skills. "I guess these were the Skills the prehistoric beast whose meat we ate possessed. Did anybody got some of these Skills?"
"I got Detect Prey!" Rita said.
"I acquired something called Dinosaur\'s Bite…" Lily muttered. "How do I even use this?"
"They\'re really weird Skills, haha. I got Jurassic Roar. It seems to be some sort of agro skill? For Tanks, so its perfect for me!" Mark commented. "Even if I can\'t level it up."
"Got Beast Fire… I don\'t even know if I am compatible with such a Skill." Nieve said. "I could always combine it with other Skills though."
"I got Prehistoric Strength! Should be useful… I think?" Acorn said. "Huh? The Condition for activation is kind of wacky though."
"Let me see…"
I was too curious, so I checked all the Divine Dish Skills I got.
