Translator: Exodus Tales
Editor: Exodus Tales
He had nearly finished the pork tenderloin from last time. Yi Qiu sliced off a dozen more kilograms. With his Strength increase, it made it much easier to slice. As the Prayer Skill had 7 days to cool down, Yi Qiu wanted to try opening the treasure box dropped by the Brown Tooth Boar without using the skill.
”Will you open this old treasure box which came from the Brown Tooth Boar?”
”Yes.”
”You obtained recipe: Juicy Pork Chop.”
Recipe: Juicy Pork Chop:
Quality: White
Origin: Stormwind City
Description: This is a recipe that records how to cook a juicy pork chop
”Will you use recipe: Juicy Pork Chop?”
”Yes.”
”You have learned the recipe: Juicy Pork Chop.”
”Due to the recipe, you have automatically obtained 1 level of cooking.”
Juicy Pork Chop:
After consuming, in the next 4 hours (Based on user’s digestion speed) you will recover large amounts (Based on life value) of Life value.
”It seems delicious.” Yi Qiu smacked his lips. Currently, it didn’t seem valuable, it could barely be considered a health buff. However, if it tasted good, then that was its best value.

Just like that, Yi Qiu would cultivate the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique till noon. He would sleep after doing a run of the pumpkin field dungeon. In the afternoon, he would continue to train Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique till night and then enter Monk’s meditation. An orderly training schedule helped pack his time. Very quickly, a week passed. Maybe because of the Strength increase, Yi Qiu’s Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique completed the first layer. However, since his Strength was already 12, it didn’t increase, but his Physique did reach 12.

He didn’t open the cases that he had gotten each day, preparing to open them at the same time once the prayer cooldown was over. Before having any Monk ability, he was just half a stay home nerd with no ambitions. However, after getting it… erm, he was still a nerd with no ambitions but the difference was that he had a choice now.
Speaking of which, that recipe that came from Stormwind City was unexpectedly good. Due to his own experiences, he was great at cooking family dishes. Although he wasn’t at a restaurant’s level, he knew how to cook something that suited his taste. After all, he had cooked for himself for so many years. The juicy pork chop from the recipe filled Yi Qiu up. Yi Qiu himself loved the crispy texture but for convenience he had stewed the pork chop in the past. After all, grilling or frying was more problematic.
After eating a mouth of the juicy tenderloin, Yi Qiu totally fell in love with it. The crisp outer shell wrapped around delicious juices. After one mouthful, he couldn’t help but take another. Like drugs, Yi Qiu ate them all the first time he made it. He was so full he laid on the sofa for a long time before recovering. Moreover, due to eating too much his stomach suffered a little bit. However, as the juicy pork chop could recover health, there were no problems…
Today was a special day, Laba Festival. To Yi Qiu, or rather to the people of City C, the atmosphere of the festival wasn’t much. Maybe due to City C being in the south. To Yi Qiu, today was quite special because he could open the third dungeon. His experience was already at 950, soon he could level up.
DND’s level was not like that of other games that were easy to level up. Each level increase was a change in nature especially to magic classes. Of course Monks weren’t too bad too. As fodder in a fight, how many of them could fly based on their own body’s strength? Yi Qiu touched his own head. Thinking about that, he was quite happy. Flight; this was one of the dreams of a human.
Solo random dungeon (Difficulty: Easy) after passing the simple dungeon, one can unlock other difficulties.
Unlocked dungeon:
Challenge Lv1 – Pumpkin Field ravaged by boar (Simple, Hard) After succeeding hard difficulty, one can unlock elite difficulty.
Challenge Lv1 – Barren Gold Mine (Simple, Hard) After succeeding hard difficulty, one can unlock elite difficulty.
Thinking about it, Yi Qiu decided to try a Hard difficulty Barren Gold Mine. After all as compared to the boar, the Dog-Head Man was much easier to deal with.
Barren Gold Mine:
Challenge level: 1+
Dungeon difficulty: Hard
Dungeon requirements: Kill the Sadistic Dog-Head Man
After the familiar dizzy feeling, Yi Qiu came to the dark cave. As compared to the nervousness of last time, he was very familiar now. Although it was hard to walk due to the stone on the floor, Yi Qiu still walked toward where he killed the Sadistic Dog-Head Man in the Simple difficulty map.
”Peng! Peng!” Yi Qiu picked up a stone and tossed it on the wall to draw the Dog-Head Man over. The landscape was good and he was familiar with it. Yi Qiu felt that it was not bad to fight here.
What was worth mentioning was that Yi Qiu noticed that although the dungeon looked big, it wasn’t a complete world. Yi Qiu hadn’t investigated this place due to the cooldown problem, but he had walked around the pumpkin land. After half an hour he saw a light veil, he was unable to pass through it and behind it was a pitch-black void.
”Wang! Wang! Wang!” The Dog-Head Man was furious that Yi Qui had invaded its territory. This was because they thought that Yi Qiu was about to steal their candles…
That pangolin slave didn’t run over alone but appeared with the Sadistic Dog-Head Man.
”Pa!” What surprised Yi Qiu was that the Sadistic Dog-Head Man didn’t charge over recklessly but whipped the pangolin.
”Si!” The pangolin’s eyes turned red. Filled with rage, it sped up and charged toward Yi Qiu like a mad dog!
