Overgeared

Chapter 1785

“It is the power of anion and light wave cooking,” Idan explained. His expression was quite different. He showed no signs of hesitation or frustration and was full of confidence.

“First of all, the anion cooking. The electrons naturally obtained from the soil and sand penetrate into the meat in waves, causing a softening effect. At the same time, it expels foreign substances to eliminate the bad smells.”

‘Isn’t anion a pseudoscience that is legally banned?’

Grid clicked his tongue. As a modern man, he knew from common sense that the anion theory was a superstition.

“Next is the light wave cooking. The pure light of the sun is different from man-made flames. Once it heats the meat, it produces all types of beneficial nutrients. It is literally the energy of the sun. This maximizes the natural aroma and taste of the ingredients, adding great flavor to the meat without the need for sweeteners or spices.”

‘Does he believe in ghosts?’

Ah, there really were ghosts in this world...

Grid gradually became nervous as Idan continued to talk sophistry. He wondered if Raiders would forgive the human being who mocked him.

‘I have to protect him.’

The results were strange, but...

After all, Idan was a valued colleague. Grid was ready to respond as soon as Raiders showed any strange signs. Of course, he was going to persuade Raiders through a conversation rather than fighting. Thus, he sent a whisper to Huroi beforehand. He planned to lead the conversation to the advantage using real-time advice from Huroi.

Such preparations were unnecessary.

“Hmm.” Raiders’ expression gradually changed to interest. “Are you incorporating what humans call science into cooking?”

Human beings were different from other transcendent beings. They were born with poor strength and knowledge from birth, so they had to create, learn, and train themselves in all types of things.

Science was a prime example. It was the study of humanity.

“Science...? No way. No matter how you look at it, I am a pure chef.”

‘It looks obvious, so you don’t have to say it.’

Grid, who did his best even though he didn’t study well, inwardly kept criticizing it.

“You mean that you just enlightened yourself.”

Raiders looked very satisfied. It was a reaction that showed he didn’t care about Idan’s baseless claims. It was natural. The food that entered his mouth tasted delicious right away. This taste was the power that supported Idan’s claims.

“Understanding and utilizing the elements of nature as materials for cooking... you are the wisest and most outstanding of anyone who has ever called himself a sage. You are the sage who has been hiding all this time.”

At this moment, a world message appeared. It was natural. A mere human being received the recognition of an Old Dragon in front of some of the world’s leading figures, Grid and the Great Robber of the Red Night. The world wouldn’t be able to stand by and ignore the person called Idan.

[A new legend is engraved in the world.]

‘No way, there is no way.’

What an absurd yet obvious development? Grid felt joy and sorrow at the fact that the soon-to-be-born legendary chef was Idan. He was happy that his person had become a legend, but he wondered if it was okay for Idan to become a legendary chef.

What if Idan’s cooking in the future increased stats or gave them buffs? The Overgeared members, the knights of the empire, and the soldiers would have to unconditionally eat the dishes he made. Of course, they couldn’t afford not to eat it. Thus, they would have to suffer through his meals three times a day in the future. It was hell just imagining it.
