Three Meals of a Reincarnator - Chapter 232

Chapter 232

***

Min Sung returned to the VIP room. He sat on the edge of his bed and checked his physical condition.

He had been feeling tired due to the constant consumption of his magic power, but once he absorbed some vitality, he sensed his body returning to its original condition.

At that moment…

Ding!

His alarm went off.

[The Dionysus Gods are gifting you with experience points for serving justice.]

[The accumulation of favorites has led to more experience points.]

[You currently have 120,000 experience points.]

Ding!

The alarm continued to go off.

[A new skill has been added to the shop.]

[Would you like to check it out?]

[Accept/Reject]

Min Sung touched accept.

As soon as he did, the shop window opened.

Min Sung checked what the new skill was.

And as soon as he checked, he felt a strong sense of temptation.

‘Grand Absorption’

It cost 150,000 experience points to buy.

But as expensive as it was, the skill would give him the ability to absorb a great deal of vitality at once.

It sounded very useful and convenient, but the problem was that he had to choose between this skill and the 8 Divination Signs that would stop the Iris tree from growing just for a little while.

He decided that if he didn’t obtain a portion of the 8 Divination Signs by the time he collected 150,000 experience points, he would use the points to buy a Divination Sign.

Although it was expensive, he knew the 8 Divination Signs would be very effective.

After all, it would buy him time.

The best-case scenario was for him to fight against the highest ranker and take over his position.

But this wasn’t a world where he could meet whoever he wanted, and since it was a big world, he had no choice but to spend the time.

Min Sung closed the shop window, and just as he was about to lie down, he saw something that looked like a menu.

It looked like a menu for room service.

At the top, he was instructed to press the call button and underneath it was a list of menu items.

Since it was a ship, most of the menus were seafood, and the only familiar dishes were pasta or steak.

He figured seafood would be the easiest to eat.

It was a port city, and since they were on water, he couldn’t refuse seafood.

Although it was seafood, since he was on a different star far from earth, many of the names sounded unfamiliar.

He didn’t want to eat seafood he didn’t know. He wanted to eat something he remembered.

Once he decided on the menu, Min Sung pressed the call button.

A moment later, an employee came in.

The employee didn’t see Min Sung destroy the player that harassed the little girl, but he heard about it, so he felt nervous.

But Min Sung didn’t even look at him. He contemplated over the menu and eventually ordered with a determined mindset.

“I want a bottle of beer, roasted lobster, and a chili spicy crab.”

Min Sung put down the menu and looked at the employee.

“Did you know there’s a restaurant? You can have room service if you’d like, but it’s much more comfortable to eat down there. If you eat in your room, it gets smelly and oily. The ship also shakes a little, but of course, we clean everything for you.”

The employee basically gave him the option of escorting him to the restaurant or serving him room service.

“Let’s go to the restaurant,” replied Min Sung.

The employee smiled and opened the door.

As soon as they exited to the hallway, Ho Sung Lee was coming back from receiving treatment on his arm.

“Where are you going?” Ho Sung Lee asked.

“I’m going to eat.”

“Huh? You just ate though. You’re eating again?”

“I guess I’m just extra hungry today.”

Ho Sung Lee laughed bitterly.

“Come with me if you want to eat, or rest if you’d like.”

“I’ll rest. See you later.”

Min Sung glanced at the cast around Ho Sung Lee’s arm. He nodded and continued to walk away.

The employee led the way with a respectful posture.

***

Since the restaurant was located on top of a ship, the view of the ocean was spectacular.

Min Sung took a seat.

Since the time was iffy and there was just a huge fight, Min Sung was the only one at the restaurant.

And those who came to eat left as soon as they saw Min Sung.

Min Sung crossed his arms. He crossed his legs and waited for his food while looking out into the ocean.

A refreshing breeze blew past his hair and skin.

A moment later, the beer arrived first.

Min Sung lifted his beer glass while enjoying the breeze.

Gulp, gulp!

Min Sung continued to feast on the view while feeling the carbonated sensation flowing down his throat.

He felt like he was on vacation.

‘I’m not here to play though…’

Min Sung sighed and waited for his food to arrive.

Once he absorbed some vitality, he regained his appetite along with his improved condition.

While his body itched with the desire to eat some delicious food, the long-awaited dish appeared.

The first dish to arrive was the roasted lobster.

There were some burnt marks all over the lobster’s shell, but the meat inside seemed to be cooked perfectly.

After having two more sips of his beer, Min Sung immediately picked up his fork. He dug into his lobster and put it into his mouth.

Om nom, om nom!

The fatty lobster meat felt soft between his teeth.

The signature oily smell of lobster crept up his nose, and it had a strong roasted smell.

On top of that, enjoying the lobster with the great ocean view made the experience that much more enjoyable.

The portion wasn’t large, and he hadn’t ordered very much to begin with, so the lobster disappeared in no time.

And just in time, the employee immediately brought over the chili spicy crab and fried rice.

The fried rice came with the chili spicy crab as a service.

He saw two pieces of crab with red sauce on top.

This was the chili spicy crab.

After wiping his hands with a wet wipe, Min Sung immediately grabbed a piece of crab drenched in red sauce.

Since Min Sung had very strong teeth, he had no trouble eating a hard piece of crab.

Min Sung easily peeled off the shell and ate the meat inside.

The chili spicy crab was similar to a Hong Kong dish, and he really liked the combination of the green onion and onion.

He was fascinated that this world knew of a similar cooking method from back on earth, but beyond that, the chili spicy crab was absolutely delicious.

There was lots of meat, and more importantly, the combination fo the sauce, vegetables, and fried rice was phenomenal.

‘This is delicious.’

He felt as though he was getting a proper break.

If anyone saw him enjoying such seafood dishes while looking at the ocean, they would have thought he was on vacation.

Min Sung liked how the dish had a little kick but wasn’t too spicy.

Since it was the portion and the flavor he was hoping for, he enjoyed the dishes without an ounce of disappointment.

By the time he was almost done with his meal… Ho Sung Lee appeared in front of Min Sung with a little girl.

Min Sung took turns looking at Ho Sung Lee and the girl.

The little girl was the one that the player, whom he absorbed vitality from, was hitting with a whip.

Although she had been treated, she was still covered with a great deal of wounds and trauma.

“I brought her here because she wanted to thank you,” explained Ho Sung Lee as he patted the girl on the head.

Min Sung looked at the girl as he wiped his mouth with a wet wipe.

As soon as he got up, the girl hurried over to Min Sung and expressed her gratitude.

“Thank you so much for saving me.”

It was impressive that she was greeting him in such a state.

‘I should commend her for her strong mentality.’

‘She must be in so much pain.’

Min Sung laughed at the girl.

He liked her.

“Ho Sung.”

“Yes?”

“Feed her some food,” said Min Sung while looking at the girl.

“Y-yes, Sir.”

Ho Sung Lee was taken aback by Min Sung’s kindness, but he hurriedly sat her down at a table.

***

Praus, who was a ranker player as well as the captain of the ship, grimaced as soon as he saw another ship approaching.

“Are you sure Pheus died?” Praus asked.

In response, a subordinate approached from behind him.

“Yes, Sir. And the player that killed Pheus isn’t interested in ruling over Haikman Port City.”

Praus snickered.

“What a lucky day…”

“I agree.”

“Where’s the player that killed Pheus?”

“Wouldn’t he still be in Haikman Port City?”

Praus looked back at his subordinate with an angry face.

“Shouldn’t you know that for sure?! You dumb idiot!”

Praus swung his fist.

Along with a loud noise, the subordinate’s lip ripped and he fell over backward.

As soon as he fell, he immediately got back up and saluted.

“I apologize, Sir.”

Captain Praus put a cigarette in his mouth.

“Look into his location and if he’s really not interested in Haikman Port City.”

“… Yes, Sir.”

“Let’s rob that ship first. This ocean is almost all ours anyway. Let’s start sweeping everything.”

Praus let out a low laugh as he spoke.

The subordinate also smiled.

***

Ho Sung Lee smiled bitterly at the girl who was eating very quickly.

He was fascinated that such a little girl could withstand such beatings and the fact that she looked so positive despite what just happened to her.

“Did you really damage his goods like he said?”

In response to Ho Sung Lee’s question, the girl stopped eating and minded Ho Sung Lee.

“Oh, I’m not asking to scold you or anything. I’m just curious.”

In response, the girl shook her head.
