Chapter 47 Because I Am Overpowered!

Customers started coming in with the help of Don's lackey promoting it outside.

Because of that, Alex also started becoming busy inside the kitchen.

After cooking for a couple of hour, Alex, who's chopping meat in the kitchen, frowned,

"As the boss, I shouldn't need to personally cook, right?"

"Should I hire a chef?"

Saying that, Alex subconsciously moved his eyes to Don outside the kitchen.

Last night, when Don and his group came to the restaurant, Alex used [Inspect] on them.

That's when he saw that Don, the leader of a gang, actually had [Chef] as his class!

Alex was a bit surprised by this but didn't care about it too much.

Because of that, now Alex decided to make Don the chef of his Lucky Restaurant!

So, while cooking, Alex called Don.

"Don!"

Hurriedly, Don entered the kitchen and asked, "Boss, is there something you need?"

Alex nodded, "Yeah, come here, I want to ask you something."

Walking closer, Don asked, "What is it, Boss?"

Alex put down the knife and looked at him, he said,

"Don, your class is [Chef], right?"

"...Huh?"

In response to his question, Don showed a confused look.

Then, as if he understood something, Don's face changed.

With a trembling voice, he asked, "B-Boss, you mean, I-I have a class?"

This time, it's Alex's turn to be confused, "Huh? Of course, you have. Everyone does!"

After a pause, Alex guessed something and said, "You don't know about your own class?"

Don shook his head, confirming Alex's thought.

Alex frowned, "How did you not know about your class?"

Letting out a helpless sigh, Don said, "My family is poor, because of that, we weren't able to go to the church to activate our 'World System'."

'World System' is equivalent to the rule where you can interact with the world itself.

By not having it activated, it is almost like becoming a cripple.

Listening to Don, a look of understanding dawned to Alex.

"So that's what happened."

"The church asked people to pay first before they activate the people's 'World System'.

Alex looked at Don and said, "Since you weren't able to activate yours, that means there's a lot of people who haven't activated their 'World System' yet, right?"

Don nodded, "Yes, Boss. Actually, all of my people haven't activated their 'World System'."

Hearing that, a thoughtful look appeared on Alex's face.

But he was interrupted by the sound of boiling water on the stove.

"Oh, wait, wait!"

"I forgot that I'm still cooking!"

Alex hurriedly turned off the fire and sighed.

On the side, Don's hesitant voice sounded, "Uhm… Boss, if you don't need me anymore, I'll go back now and serve the customers."

Alex turned his gaze back at him and in a serious tone, he said, "No, you don't have to go back now."

"From now on, you will be the main chef of our restaurant, got that?"

Saying that, Alex waved his hand and a thick book appeared on his hands.

He handed it to Don, saying, "Here's a recipe book. Use it as a guide when you're cooking."

Then he also took off his apron and gave it to Don.

With a smile, Alex said, "Anyway, I will be going now, good luck!"

After that, Alex immediately disappeared.

Don, who was suddenly left behind by Alex, remained standing there, surprised by the turn of events.

But as he was dazing, a loud voice of a customer from the dining area.

"Hey, is my order still not ready?!"

Don was startled, but immediately he managed to gather himself and replied, "Your order is about to be finished soon!"

After that, he looked at the recipe book and started studying it intently while finishing the dishes that Alex was cooking.

…

Black Forest.

Kun's Lair.

A portal suddenly appeared and Alex jumped out of it.

When he saw that he successfully arrived in Kun's Lair, he smiled.

"Good, I finally don't have to cook anymore!"

"Instead of wasting my time there to cook for other people, I still prefer going out to hunt and increase my level."

He said in a 'matter of fact' tone.

Alex walked out of the dungeon and with his thoughts, he called Ferri.

'Ferri, come here!'

After that, Alex stood outside the dungeon for a while before he heard the sound of the wind approaching from the forest in front.

Then, a few seconds later, a two meter tall wolf with green fur jumped out from the forest, landing in front of Alex.

Seeing it, Alex smiled and chuckled, "Ferri!"

"Woof!"

Ferri looked at him with sparkling eyes.

Behind him, his tail is wagging endlessly.

Alex rubbed Ferri's neck and said, "How have you been?"

"Woof!"

As if to answer his question, Ferri showed a mighty posture.

Alex chuckled then used [Inspect] on Ferri.

Immediately, Ferri's stats appeared in front of him.

[Wind Wolf Leader (Ferri)]

[Level 19]

[Strength: 62] | [Constitution: 43] | [Agility: 76] | [Intelligence: 39] | [Wind: 21]

…

Looking at Ferri's status, Alex was a little surprised by how high Ferri's level increased.

He looked at Ferri and praised him, "Wow, you really did a good job, Ferri!"

"Woof!"

Alex turned his eyes back at Ferri's status and saw an additional attribute.

"Wind? Is this also a hidden attribute like my Charisma?"

"Well, I'm not surprised that he got that since he's a wind wolf."

"I remember last time, when I encountered that Aswang, it also had the Darkness attribute."

Alex analyzes it for a while before dismissing it.

Next, it's now time for them to start hunting!

"Ferri, let's go, we're going to hunt to our hearts content!"

"Woof!"

Riding on Ferri's back, they galloped deep into the Black Forest to find a stronger monster.

Black Forest is very wide and is divided into 5 layers.

The first layer is where Alex is currently located.

Only weak monsters with levels from 1 to 24 stay here.

Next, the second layer, there you will find 1-star monsters.

1-star monsters are those that have gone through advancement at level 25.

In the second layer, most of the monsters are already 1-star monsters.

Because of that, the competition between each monster is fierce, making the second layer a very dangerous area for no-star people like Alex.

Despite that danger, Alex is still planning to head there.

As for why?

Well, it's because he's overpowered!
