Chapter 793

Everything was finally sorted out. Ian, the mastermind behind the fiasco, was most likely going to be pushed out of the top of the Dungeon Explorer’s Rankings after he received the forced logout penalty, dropping the Dungeon Explorer’s Eyes that he was very proud of in the process.

Meanwhile, Calauhel had something that he really wanted to tell Minhyuk. “Minhyuk. Our Rothschilde Kingdom will…”

However, he was interrupted before he could finish his words once again.

“Bye everyone! Bye! I’m going to go and eat beef!!!”

Minhyuk fidgeted like he was a puppy that was about to poop and waved his hands at them while smiling brightly like a child. Then, he turned into a bright light and disappeared.

“That, that impertinent fool! His Majesty is still speaking!”

“Is he saying that beef is more important than His Majesty’s words?”

But Calauhel shook his head when he heard the words of the soldiers of the Rothschilde Kingdom.

“It’s better to eat beef, no? Our dear Minhyuk is suffering from a rare disease, there’s nothing we can’t do,” Calauhel said as he stared at the spot where Minhyuk had disappeared from, with clear affection.

‘Our… our dear Minhyuk? What?’

‘Since when did he call Minhyuk ‘our dear Minhyuk’?’

Calauhel continued to stare at the place where his friend, Minhyuk, disappeared and thought, ‘I also want to see my dear Minhyuk in real life.’

Calauhel had always been a loner. He had never made a proper friend or even got close to someone. That was why he was very excited to have Minhyuk in his life.

‘I really want to see Minhyuk.’

There was a saying that went, ‘Strike while the iron is hot.’. So, Calauhel, or Rausch, the head of the Rothschilde Family, immediately logged out and got on a plane.

“Let’s go to Incheon Airport.”

***

Minhyuk chuckled the moment he entered his office back in the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom. There were a variety of beef parts spread out in front of him, while the baby piggy Beanie with his plump belly sat opposite him.

“Oink. Oink, oink. Oiiiiiiiink! (I want to eat them already! Oink!)”

Beanie also worked together with Minhyuk in the Tomb of the Kings. Of course, Beanie was not going to eat the God-grade Soft, Tender and Melt-in-the-Mouth Beef. What Beanie was going to eat was the 1++ grade beef that Minhyuk had purchased for him.

“Beans, when it comes to beef, you have to cook it quickly on a piping hot grill.”

White smoke slowly rose from the heated grill. Only after seeing the smoke did Minhyuk use his tongs to grab a rib eye steak, which had a fantastic marbling, and place it on the grill.

Sizzleeeeeeeee—

Sizzleeeeeeeee—

Beanie immediately followed Minhyuk’s instructions and grabbed a piece of rib eye steak on his own.

“Oiiiiiiiiiink…!”

Beanie was deeply moved.

Then, Minhyuk turned the rib eye steak at the perfect moment. Beef needed to be turned once over on high heat. Doing it in such a way would trap the juices of the beef and maintain its soft and tender texture.

Minhyuk cut the rib eye steak into bite-sized pieces. Then, he clamped a thick and juicy piece and dipped it in salt.

Chomp—

When he bit into the meat, the juice immediately spread out in his mouth along with the tender, soft and slightly undercooked meat.

“O, oink…”

Beanie also looked ecstatic with just one bite of the soft and tender beef.

Minhyuk smiled happily. This time, he placed some chopped scallions on top of the rib eye steak before putting everything in his mouth.

Munch, munch—

“Kghhk… This is a small slice of heaven…”

Beef eaten after doing hard work was truly bliss.

Pop—

Minhyuk laughed as he opened a very, very cold bottle of beer and poured it into a glass.

“The first one should be a bottoms up.”

The first sip of beer was the most delicious. Something so refreshing and cool should be drunk in one go.

Gulp, gulp, gulp—

Minhyuk gulped the contents of his glass and drank everything until the very last drop.

“Gulp, gulp, gulp, kghhk!”

On the other hand, baby piggy Beanie slammed the can of cola down after inhaling its contents.

Since they had finished all of the rib eye steak, they turned their attention to the chuck flap tail this time. Each cow would usually only have around 4~5kg of chuck flap tail, and was considered to be the most delicious and precious part when grilled.

They both placed a piece of chuck flap tail on the well-heated grill.

Sizzleeee—

When smoke finally rose, it signaled that the side was already cooked well. That meant that it was time to get flipped. After cooking, Minhyuk dipped the bite-sized chuck flap tail in the salt and placed it in his mouth. Just like before, the soft and tender texture of the meat spread in Minhyuk’s mouth.

‘It practically melts in the mouth.’

This was the perfect expression to describe the taste of both the rib eye steak and the chuck flap tail. It was so good, that Minhyuk’s body shivered with each bite.

Sizzleeeeeee—

Minhyuk grilled two more pieces of chuck flap tail. Then, he placed the well-cooked chuck flap tail on the lettuce leaf that he spread on his palm, added some scallions, and garlic dipped in ssamjang. He wrapped everything up and placed it in his mouth.

“Hmm. This is the best.”

“Oiiiiiiiiink…!”

Beanie, who was sitting right in front of Minhyuk, also made his own bulging lettuce wrap. One might wonder how could such a huge lettuce wrap fit in his mouth. As it turned out, Beanie was able to cram the huge lettuce wrap in his mouth. His cheeks might be bulging to its limits but there was a very happy smile on his face.

“Oooooooooink.”

In just a blink, the beef brisket doenjang jjigae that they cooked while they were eating the grilled meat was done. The slight greasiness from the grilled beef immediately disappeared the moment the spicy doenjang jjigae entered their mouths.

Minhyuk hurriedly scooped a spoonful of the jjigae, complete with zucchini, tofu and cheongyang pepper, and placed it on the rice. Then, he scooped some of the soup on the rice and mixed everything together. He could not help but exclaim happily the moment he ate a spoonful.

“This is delicious! Yummy!”

After eating doenjang jjigae, Minhyuk turned his attention to the cold noodles that they prepared in advance.

“Oiiiiink. (As expected, meat tastes best with spicy cold noodles. Oink.)”

However, unlike Minhyuk, Beanie was eating some glossy-red spicy cold noodles. Minhyuk actually preferred the cold noodles that were cold and slightly sweet to the taste. He loved slurping the noodles and the pears and drinking the cold soup.

“Kghhhk!”

‘This is the best!’

The cold and refreshing cold noodles, together with the sweet pear, created a fantastic harmony of flavors in his mouth. Then, Beanie gave him some of his spicy cold noodles, which he promptly ate with his chuck flap tail. The combination of the sweet, spicy cold noodles and the soft, tender chuck flap tail was truly perfect. After that, Minhyuk returned to his cold noodles. He quickly sipped the cool and refreshing broth of the noodles.

“Kyaa!”

“Oiiiiiiiink! (I’m stuffed, oink!)”

Beanie’s tummy was bulging.

‘The way Beanie’s leaning on the wall looks exactly like my grandpa.’

Beanie looked cute as he stroked his bulging belly while leaning against the wall. Then, the notifications rang.

[You have eaten the Soft, Tender and Melt-in-the-Mouth Beef.]

[All of your stats have increased by 2%.]

[Your skill attack has increased by 8%.]

[Your skill cooldown has decreased by 10%.]

[Your total HP and MP volume have increased by 15%.]

The Soft, Tender and Melt-in-the-Mouth Beef had evolved from legendary grade to god-grade. However, the permanent increase was quite low when compared to ordinary god-grade ingredients. In other words, even though it evolved, it was considered lower-ranked among the god-grade ingredients. However, the taste was superb, so it was acceptable to Minhyuk.

‘Now that I have eaten, I think it’s time to take a nap.’

Just when he was about to log out, he received a whisper.

[Calauhel: Are you asleep…?]

“???”

Minhyuk tilted his head in confusion.

‘What the hell? Why does this whisper sound like something a girl would receive from her ex-boyfriend?’

At first glance, it was clear that Calauhel was very bad at socializing.

[Minhyuk: Not yet sleeping.]

[Calauhel: Minhyukie, I wanted to see you so I’m thinking of going to Incheon Airport. Will it be fine…?]

“…”

It really did sound like messages sent by an ex-boyfriend who was going to his ex-girlfriend’s house.

[Minhyuk: It’s fine but I’m a bit sleepy now.]

[Calauhel: Is that so? Well, I’m still on my way now. So, just come to Incheon Airport when it’s convenient for you. ^^;;]

[Minhyuk:…OK.]

For some reason, Minhyuk felt really uncomfortable.

“Why do I feel so uncomfortable?”

***

Incheon Airport.

It had been a while since Rausch’s private plane landed at Incheon Airport. However, Rausch had told Minhyuk to come at his own pace since he was the one who went to visit on a whim.

[What should we do today?]

[I want to do something fun and interesting with you.]

[Shall we go and eat something yummy?]

[Is there something you want to try?]

Rausch repeatedly deleted and typed on his phone, thinking about the text he wanted to send to Minhyuk. He had never really played with friends, if his business relationships could even be considered ‘friends’. Since he never had true and genuine friends, Rausch was very much socially awkward.

He leaned on his chair and waited for Minhyuk for a very long time. However, even after ten hours of waiting, Minhyuk did not come.

“Isn’t he too late? The young master even personally came here.”

“No.” Rausch shook his head. “I made a very unexpected visit and did not even contact him before. Besides, I’m going to meet a friend. Is waiting ten hours really a waste?”

“…”

The butler was very surprised to see the small and faint smile on Rausch’s face. Rausch was obviously a very important figure all over the world. In fact, the president of America had to go and personally receive him when he went to America for a sudden visit.

Minhyuk, who made Rausch wait for ten hours, was nothing short of amazing. And Rausch, in his adoration of Minhyuk, could be considered a saint with the patience he had. In fact, Rausch was willing to do anything and everything for Minhyuk.

‘The young master’s first friend.’

Helivert, the butler who had served Rausch since he was born, smiled happily when he saw the genuine excitement that flashed on his master’s face.

***

After 15 hours of waiting, Minhyuk finally arrived at the airport.

“Hello. How have you been?”

“…”

Calauhel’s style still sounded like an ex-boyfriend’s greeting. Although Minhyuk felt very uncomfortable, he did not intend to slight Rausch, who came here from far away.

“It hasn’t been long since we parted ways. More than that, what did you ride to come here?”

“A private jet.” Rausch winked as he pointed at the magnificent plane that could be seen through the transparent wall of glass.

The size of Rausch’s private jet was several times larger than a regular private jet.

“You have a private jet? How much does one cost?”

“I think around 150 billion won?”

“…”

Minhyuk’s eyes grew wide. Even for someone like him, the son of the chairman of a large corporation, that amount was still very surprising.

“Wow, so jealous.”

Rausch turned to look at Minhyuk when he heard those words. Just like mentioned before, he truly wanted to do something, anything, for Minhyuk.

Rausch said, “Shall I buy you one?”

“…”

Minhyuk was taken aback when he heard Rausch’s offer. However, as someone who was inherently polite, Minhyuk did not like to hear such words, whether it was a joke or not.

“What are you talking about?”

Rausch realized that he had made a mistake when he saw Minhyuk’s face turn ugly.

‘Indeed. Did it truly make sense for someone to only buy their friend a private jet?’

“I made a mistake. Sorry.”

“That’s right. It does not matter how much. What do you mean by saying something like that about a private jet…”

“It would be more convenient for you if I bought you an airport.”

“…Huh?”

‘It should be an airport instead of just a private jet, right?’

“Helivert. Please check how much it would cost to build an airport. Also, check the price of about three helicopters and five private jets to keep inside the airport.”

“Yes, young master.”

“Do you like it, friend?”

Minhyuk was not someone who would get something like that from others. As a result, he did not know how to respond as well.

“Huh? Huh. Yeah…”

This was Minhyuk, who had a rich friend that could easily buy him an airport.
