The Novel's Extra (0-100)

Chapter 83 - Scout (1)

I came to a rice soup restaurant[1]. Cube had all sorts of restaurants, but this place, Grandma's Home Flavor, was the only rice soup restaurant that ran 24/7.

"...."

Seeing Kim Suho eating a bowl of rice soup, I became lost in thought.

Kim Suho's current power was at least at the level of an intermediate rank Hero. This world still had many hidden pieces that I set up left undiscovered.

Among these, there were some that would fall into antagonists' hands. Items like the 'Lucifer's Feather' and the 'Snaketooth of Beginning' were things that I wouldn't dare to try to obtain, but with Kim Suho's assistance, I might be able to stop them from falling into antagonists' hands.

...Thinking about it this way, Kim Suho suddenly became a lot more attractive.

I stared fixedly at Kim Suho. He looked like a main character no matter how I looked at him. The rice soup must be delicious as he didn't notice that a grain of rice was stuck next to his mouth.

"You have a grain of rice stuck there."

I took out a few sheets of tissues and took off the grain of rice.

"Ah, thanks."

Kim Suho spoke with a thin smile.

"By the way, are you going to do the powerpoint presentation for your class?"

"Yep."

"Aren't you nervous? I would be."

"I'll eat a serenity pill before it, don't worry."[2]

I learned long ago that it was foolish to be obstinate about eating medicine. Although I quit college to focus on writing, I still attended until I was a sophomore. I've been in 4~5 group projects as well, so I was fairly experienced with presentations.

I also planned on investing some SP into the serenity pill, not necessarily for me, but for Rachel and my other teammates, who had high expectations of me.

If I also add an increased eloquence and persuasiveness effect on the hornflute, it should be a breeze to ace the presentation.

I asked Kim Suho.

"Anyways, the Dungeon is near Suwon, right?"

"Yeah, we should be careful."

Suwon was the most dangerous area of the three capital areas: Seoul, Suwon, and Incheon. During Outcall, Suwon went through a bizarre terraforming, turning more than half of the region into a horrifying mountain zone.

Because of this, the west side of Suwon was completely off-limits to the public. Kamak Mountain, which was our destination, was just at the border of this restricted zone.

It was then.

The restaurant's door opened, and someone clad entirely in black walked in. A big hat, a black mask, and a long, full-body coat. This person could easily be mistaken for a criminal.

"Um, I just called..."

The woman clad in black notified the staff in a soft voice. She then glanced at Kim Suho and me, who were the only other customers in the restaurant. Immediately, her shoulders trembled violently.

"Ah yes, wait just one moment."

The staff went into the kitchen. I smirked and turned to the woman. She was frozen like a statue.

"Oh, who's this?"

I suddenly remembered. Along with hamburgers, rice soup was one of her favorite dishes.
