In truth, Donghwa didn’t find Bom unfamiliar. He couldn’t remember exactly, but she felt like someone he had seen before.
Even if she hadn’t registered as a hunter, she might have crossed paths with him if she was of a high rank. He often misunderstood people due to his poor memory, so this was a plausible conjecture.
“I will be staying in the dungeon for a while, so it will take some time to relay your message.”
“That’s alright. Just pass it on whenever you can. I’ll offer you plenty of services if you visit the campground again. Thank you so much!”
The woman was profusely grateful, bowing repeatedly.
It didn’t seem like something to be so thankful for.
“I’ve taken too much of your time by bringing breakfast. Please enjoy it, hunter.”
She hurried to leave.
“Wait a moment.”
Donghwa called her back.
“Did you also receive a quest to start a fire?”
“Yes. How did you know?”
“I can teach you how to start one.”
While they conversed, another campground quest arrived.
[☀Spring Campground QuestTeach the campground owner how to start a fire.
Completion reward: +5% Attack Speed]
“Really?”
“Yes.”
Whatever kind of person she was and for whatever reason she was here, a 5% increase in attack speed was a substantial buff.
Donghwa had a feeling he’d be visiting this campground often.
“Thank you, hunter!”
Bom smiled brightly and nodded.
Two weeks had passed since staying at the campground, bringing many changes.
The first major change was the campground level rising by two, reaching level 3. As the campground level increased, so did her level.
Consequently, the ‘Construct’ skill was unlocked.
[ConstructGarden – Wood×1000, Cloth×1000, Stone×1000, 2000C
Orchard – Wood×1000, Cloth×1000, Stone×1000, 2000C
Flower Garden – Wood×1000, Cloth×1000, Stone×1000, 2000C]
“It’s too much…”
Stunned by the required materials and cost, she chose a garden, seeming the easiest, thanks to a beginner’s event.
However, tending the garden proved challenging, especially with the dungeon’s erratic weather. If it was sunny, she had to fetch water multiple times to maintain moisture; if cold, she covered the crops with straw.
If not for Teddy’s daily weather-based advice, the crops would’ve perished.
[‘Yoo Bom(F)’ harvested ‘Onions’.] [‘Yoo Bom(F)’ harvested ‘Tomatoes’.] [‘Yoo Bom(F)’ harvested ‘Lettuce’.]Two weeks later, she harvested for the first time, earlier than usual due to the dungeon’s special soil.
[‘Yoo Bom(F)’ sold ‘Onions’ at the vending machine.] [‘Yoo Bom(F)’ earned ‘10C’.]“Wow!”
The vending machine had an unexpected function – buying and selling items.
“Wow, Teddy. It seems like this also serves as a storage. If needed, I can buy back from here.”
Sold items were added to the machine’s inventory.
Three days later, the freshness remained intact. It was a very useful feature.
She had found a new way to earn coins, a relief considering the recent lack of coin rewards from quests.
As she was getting used to her role as both a farmer and a campground owner, another skill was added.
[Congratulations! You’ve met the conditions to learn the campground skill ‘Cooking’.] [Cooking – Sandwich is now available.]“Cooking?”
An unexpected and somewhat odd skill. But by now, she wasn’t as flustered as before.
‘The campground owner class seems to be a mix of everything.’
She decided to discard her preconceived notions from the outside world.
But I can cook without using a skill.
Could it be that just a touch would complete it?
Still, excited about this new skill, I opened the skill window.
[CookingSandwich Bread×1, Lettuce×1, Tomato×1, Onion×1, Egg×1, Sauce×1]
Luckily, I had just harvested lettuce, so all the ingredients were ready.
Eager to see the effects of a Cooking skill-made dish, I checked the detailed description.
[Sandwich
Movement speed increases by 100%.
Duration: 3 hours]
“Crazy…”
“Owner? What’s the matter?”
“Oh, nothing… I just thought I wouldn’t be surprised anymore… but this Cooking skill I got, the food effect is amazing.”
A 100% movement speed increase was similar to a buff potion made by an A-grade potion maker.
An A-grade buff potion usually costs around 100 coins.
Buff potions, which significantly boost stats for a certain period, are used in important raids or for doping.
‘It’s a waste! I could make a fortune if I could sell this outside the dungeon!’
Though it was a great skill, it was frustrating that I couldn’t trade it directly.
“Wow! A Cooking skill! Congratulations, Owner!”
“Thank you.”
Teddy, who had approached, was more excited than I was.
“Teddy, I’ll make a sandwich for you to celebrate. Let’s eat a lot together.”
“Yay!”
It’s better to give it to my only helper than not to be able to sell it at all.
Putting my regrets aside, I decided to make one for Teddy first.
“Make Sandwich!”
[Sandwich RecipeSlice the tomato and onion.
Fully cook the egg.
Spread sauce on bread, then stack lettuce, onion, tomato, and egg.]
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
