Cooking In Another World - Chapter 17 Becoming Infamous

Gold successfully converted, exp +0.5

Since host does not have enough gold, exp -1

“Exp? What did I do to gain exp?”

The money that host earns is converted into exp. 1 gold converts to 1 exp

“Hmm? didn’t I pay 1 gold for my meal? Why did I only gained 0.5 exp?”

The gold that host put in yourself will have half the conversion rate. Power stones and spirit stones are also allowed to be use as payment. The conversion rate for power stones is 10 times while the spirit stone is 100 times

Power stones and spirit stones are crystals that fighters use to gain exp. Unlike me, when the people of this world want to break through to the next grade, it is extremely difficult. These crystals can increase their chance of breaking through. A power stone works for fighters of grade f to b and the spirit stones works for fighters of grade b to s. The higher the grade, the lower the success rate. These crystals are formed from heaven and earth essence. Of course one can choose to consume power stones and spirit stones to level up however, one’s body will gain immunity towards the essence contain within the crystals thus the highest grade they can reach is b. Not only that, their stats will also be much lower than those that leveled up using normal methods.

A power stone cost about 100 golds and a spirit stone is worth 10000 golds. “A spirit stone is worth much more than a power stone, why is the conversion rate so low?” I asked the system.

The conversion rate depends on its worth towards the system. While towards the residents of this world it is extremely precious, for the system, it is only worth this much

“Looks like the system got it’s own use for the crystals.” I said to myself and got ready to open the restaurant for its 1st day. “Hmm? There is no signboard?” I noticed.

Host level is too low to own a signboard

“I see.” I said as I open the doors and hang a open for business sign on the door.

Time flew and it was already lunch time. During this few hours, not a single customer came. “The 7 paradise restaurant sure have good business.” I sighed as I got up to make myself lunch.

However, as soon as I got up, someone came in.

“Ehhh? it really is opened for business!” a man said to his friend.

“Wow, this interior design…. it looks pretty exquisite.” the friend replied.

“You must be a relative of that old man, come let’s see the menu…hmmm… WHATT!?! WHY DONT YOU JUST ROB ME INSTEAD!!” the man shouted.

“Don’t get so agitated so easily, of course there is a reason for this price.” I said calmly.

“What? Do you get exp from eating them?” the friend said mockingly.

“Errr…”

The food that host cooks in the future will give exp depending on its quality

“I’m talking to you you young bastard. I doubt that whatever you cook will taste like shit. Looks like the old man went crazy thinking over money.” the man said with a snear.

When I heard what he said, my face went black. While I wouldn’t mind if someone insults me however, if someone is to talk badly about my cooking, I will get extremely pissed. When I was young, my family was poor. My mother was disabled while my father works in the construction side. They wanted me to find a high paying job so that I would not have to live like them. When they heard that I wanted to be a chef, my father did not allow while my mother was unexpectedly supportive. My mother secretly enrolled me into cooking school and paid using her savings. My father eventually found out about this but he remained quiet and secretly paid for my school fees. When I graduated my father even helped me buy a small store. He told me that he have enough savings so I don’t have to bother. However, later did I found out that my father and mother was living so badly as they didn’t have much money left. Thus when someone insults my cooking, the reason I get so angry wasn’t because of my pride. It was because it was my parents sacrifice that allowed me to learn cooking.

“I’m not forcing you to buy. No one is forcing you to eat here. GET OUT!” I roared. The both of them flinched as they walked out of the restaurant.

“With that attitude of yours, no one will ever come here.” one of them said and they left.

“For the 1st time in my life, I shouted at a customer.” I sighed as I took of the sign, lock the doors and went back to the 2nd floor. Even though people have insulted my cooking before, I had never shouted at them before. I was always able to keep everything within myself. After coming to this world, I realised that my personality started changing.

While the original Lee Ren is a simple minded person, he is extremely brave and stubborn. Why else would he dare to escape from the bandits and wanted to travel to find his family with that little amount of money. When Eren Lee took over Lee Ren’s body, while the person controlling is Eren, Ren’s personality traits also mixed with Eren.

Unknown to Ren, the two person from before started bad-mouthing about his restaurant to other people. From 2 people it became 4 and 4 became 8. Soon, Ren’s restaurant became known as the fraud restaurant. While Ren wanted hid fame to spread, he didn’t meant it in this manner.
