@Operator Luna@PKMNB0Y“I understand,” Myrtle smiled, putting one hand on Anastasia’s shoulder. “I won’t force you to do anything you don’t want.”
But this just means I have to find a different supplier… oooh, I won’t be able to get my materials for cheap anymore!“Exactly my point!” She patted her shoulder multiple times. “With this world now being our reality, I imagine being a culinarian would be even more important
and profitable than ever!”
“Although…” She paused, tilting her head and folding her arms under her chest. “I need to buy a place for it first…”
Back in the normal game, there was no option for a player to open a restaurant. At least, not in the official sense. People would just roleplay using their houses.
I guess now you can buy whatever building you want, as long as you have the cash.She opened her inventory, checking the amount of money she had.
Good! I still have around 100 million on the bank! That should be more than enough!Agaue’s question brought her back to reality however.
“Huh?” She turned to face the paladin. “Well, you gotta buy a place for it first, right? Then you hire some waiters and chefs for it… Waiters could be NPCs most likely but chefs would have to be other players most likely. If my theory is correct anyway…”
That theory was, of course, that only players could produce really delicious food and dishes.
They then traveled a bit further into the wilderness, before Agaue suggested that they make camp, with Anastasia following with her recommendation for setting up a grill.
“Hmm? Make camp?”
Myrtle hadn’t realized it but the sun was rapidly sinking in the horizon. Night would come soon.
Speaking on that matter, how does the night and day cycle work in this world anyway? Is it just as fast as back in the game or is it like back at Earth?
“Great ideas, you two!” Myrtle smiled. “Although, like you said, I do hope we can just summon the grill like in the game because I certainly don’t have any grill nor the fuel for it in my inventory.”
She walked a few steps forward, before suddenly stopping in her tracks.
“Umm…” She turned backwards to look at the two girls bashfully. “How do you set up camp exactly?”
----------
In the end, Myrtle followed Agaue’s directions. She was tasked to set up the campfire (firewood courtesy of the Paladin) and cook the group a meal, using the rabbit meat they had just obtained.
To do that, however, she had to switch her equipment around to her culinarian set. After all, her mage outfit wouldn’t give her any stats relating to cooking. Thankfully, the quick change command seemed to still work.
“Hmm, let’s see… open this, open this, and then go here, and there!”
A flash of light covered her body, stripping her clothes from top to bottom. Then, another set of clothes manifested in place of it, which was a beige shirt, dark miniskirt, and a brown apron. And instead of a staff, she held a ladle instead.
In short, it was a look far more ordinary than before.
She then accessed her menu once more. Her eyes didn’t take long to find the button that would open the crafting menu for culinarian.
Well, here goes nothing!She pressed it and with a poof, the grill appeared.
"It works!" She jumped with excitement.
She looked back at her menu. Scrolling through the list, she selected the recipe for a simple rabbit barbeque.
Only to find that it only listed the ingredients. There was no option to cook it.
Huh. I guess they want me to cook it manually. That's a bummer....Wait. Even though I don't know how to cook irl, I know how to do it here. I'm sure of it!It was hard to explain the epiphany she just experienced. It was as if she just drew into memories and experiences she never had before. Just like when she cast her spells.
And so she began to work. She lit up the firewood Agaue had gathered before putting the grill above it. Instinctively, she knew just how much fire the dish would require and she made sure the firewood burned exactly as much as she wanted it to be.
Hmm, the required ingredients menu doesn't show anything about the oil or the spices. I guess technically you can have a grilled rabbit steak without any of those. I don't imagine it would cook that well though.But these memories of mine… it tells me exactly how to make a five star rabbit meat dish....I see. So the quality range is much bigger now. Just like in real life.She nodded sagely as she had a conversation with herself in her head.
Thankfully, she did carry spices and plant oil with her. Without hesitation, she utilized them in her cooking.
It didn't take long at all until the smell of cooked meat filled the camp.
And it was a delicious, mouth-watering one.
