Leveling Up Through Eating

Chapter 941

[Your HP has dropped below 30%!]

[Your HP!]

[You have lost in the Infinite Battlefield.]

[Your opponent has gained ten platinum.]

...?

Logan collapsed in a pool of his blood. Then, he reappeared once again. Once defeated inside the Infinite Battlefield, the player would reappear right away. This system was set so that both players, who played fairly, could greet each other and show courtesy.

The viewers watching Logans live broadcast went nuts.

[What?]

[Am I dreaming? Did Logan really not get the chance to land a single hit?]

[No, wait. What?]

[Thats MUSAT[1], right? The one used by the UDT[2]??].

Not long after, everyone turned their attention to the words one of the viewers said after seeing Captain Rices movements.

[MUSAT is a technique introduced by Koreas UDT and is also the dagger technique taught and used by special forces members. You will know this even if you just type it on the internet. To be honest, I have also learned this before. But the way he uses it, I can tell that he has incredible talent.]

[Then, are you saying hes a fantastic talent that belongs to the UDT?]

[Woah Logan ignored him because hes an Infinite Battlefield newb, but in the end, hes the one that got K.Oed.]

[But what would happen if Logan did not give the player from before the first hit?]

[Didnt you see that Logan got defeated by the Gnawing Assassination Skill?]

[You have seen how Logan was stabbed twenty-five times in a row, right?]

[Mhhm]

And Logan, the one who was involved, felt highly ridiculous.

Even if I gave it my all, it would still be hard for me to win. Why is his damage so high?

The skill was scary in its own right. Of course, assassins also have a lot of those types of skills. But the problem was that his opponent was not an assassin.

Logan wanted to try to strike up a conversation with the man.

Thanks for the hard work!

[Captain Rice has left the Infinite Battlefield!]

But just when he was about to try his luck, he disappeared in a flash of light. Logan, filled with a sense of helplessness, logged out after the man left. Meanwhile, his viewers said that this resulted from Logans conceit.

***

Phew Logan sighed. He was actually Lee Tae-Sung, a person born and raised in Korea.

I have never seen a person who has reached expert level in MUSAT until today.

As mentioned before, Lee Tae-Sung was a mixed martial arts practitioner and was versed in several martial arts. That was why he also knew about the MUSAT.

Lets not upload this video, Lee Tae-Sung muttered. He also knew that it would not benefit him even if this video garnered views.

But then, his phone rang. It was a call from an unknown number. Puzzled, Tae-Sung answered the call. His face, however, gradually grew twisted as he continued talking with the person on the other end of the line.

You want me to upload the video? Tae-Sung asked, confusion marring his tone.

The person on the other end was making an extremely absurd request. They asked him to upload a video that could easily undermine his image.

What did you just say? Youre going to pay a hundred platinum? The confused Tae-Sung immediately changed his tune and said, Ill upload it immediately.

***

Minhyuk recalled the notifications that rang in his ears after finishing his first Infinite Battlefield match.

[You have won in the Infinite Battlefield!]

[You have gained ten platinum.]

[Your opponent has a record of 17 consecutive wins.]

[Your opponent was a master of the Infinite Battlefield.]

[You have gained 1,303 Infinite Points.]

The results were quite satisfactory.

Minhyuk was the type of person who would not do anything if he could not produce the most outstanding efficiency and results. This was also why he ended up choosing the class he has now in the Infinite Battlefield. Why did Minhyuk choose the assassin class? It was a class that had a strict requirement for dagger techniques.

Minhyuk had tried a variety of things to work out and exercise his body ever since he started the treatment of his eating addiction. Among the things he tried, the best fit for him and his hands was the MUSAT, a technique used by Koreas pride, the UDT, and asked one of the organization\'s former instructors to teach him.

He judged that an assassin, with its quick movement and sophisticated dagger skills, would be the best fit for him. After all, he was constantly using the MUSAT, and a dagger would also be a suitable replacement for the sword.

Minhyuk saw Carron log back into the game after talking on the phone with a man named Logan. Carron immediately approached him and said, I gave him an offer, and he agreed. He will soon upload a video with the title Careless! I lost to a MUSAT Expert! on ZTube.

Minhyuk was left in awe every time he saw Carron play with the media as if they were in his hands. Of course, he was doing this because they could maximize the effects of their advertisements.

Understanding what Carron wanted, Minhyuk said, If I continue to win against people at Logans level with the nickname Captain Rice, then I will not have any challengers. But if Logan draws the people\'s attention by saying he was careless, then the other players of the Infinite Battle will flock and challenge me.

Its the only natural outcome. After all, the players of the Infinite Battlefield will only be able to see Logans carelessness. And if they beat the guy who won against Logan easily, they could gain fame. Also, Your Majestys MUSAT will play a huge part here.

The MUSAT?

Yes. Theres this long-standing controversy among players. Who will have the upper hand? Real-life masters or PVP masters?

Ah. Minhyuk nodded.

The veteran players of Infinite Battlefield had been repeatedly told, You cant put whatever you know into practice. So, we will take this opportunity to charge forward and end the controversy.

Minhyuk nodded in understanding. If it indeed was, as Carron said, then he no longer needed to worry about having no matches in the Infinite Battlefield.

This will also end the controversies regarding your qualifications as the Supreme.

Carron smiled wryly at Minhyuks words.

There was one unrivaled existence in the Infinite Battlefield right now. This was none other than Alexander. After he became the first Eight Pillars class, he fought in hundreds of Infinite Battlefields and had never lost.

Because of this, plenty of people said that Minhyuk would quickly lose against Alexander if his titlesBattle God, Food God, and Beyond the Heavens Emperorwere taken out of consideration. Although Minhyuk did not care about their words, he still could not help but be conscious.

Is that why you hid your name and changed your class?

Minhyuk nodded when Carron saw through his thoughts. If he played as Captain Rice and not as Minhyuk, they would have a more significant impact once it was revealed that the two were the same people.

Ah! Ill give you a gift after you finish the Infinite Battlefield.

A gift? Is it something yummy?! Minhyuk looked at Carron with shining eyes.

Carron turned silent momentarily before saying, Ththats not it.

Hmm Minhyuk hummed, obviously disappointed.

But youll soon get your hands on delicious ingredients, no?

Minhyuk nodded. It was the truth. He saw an Assorted Pork Set being sold in the Infinite Store for just 10,000 Infinite Points. And it was no less than a God-grade ingredient. It was an overpowered ingredient that could permanently increase the consumers stats by roasting and eating it. But the most crucial part was the part that said that it tasted divine.

Alright. Ill go and prepare your gift.

Thanks, Carron.

Carron, who went outside, looked back to where Minhyuk was. His gift would be finished after he collected all of the videos of Minhyuks fights in the Infinite Battlefield. He would not make it for a publicity stunt or an advertisement.

Carron had directly experienced the heaviness of Minhyuk\'s weight and the impact and influence that he had on the world. So, to show his admiration, he wanted to give back to him. And what could he give him? Of course, he could give him the thing that he was good at: a video.

Whether the video will be uploaded depends entirely on Minhyuk.

***

Everything was just as Carron said. When Minhyuk returned to the Infinite Battlefield, countless match requests flooded him. Among these requests, Minhyuk deliberately accepted the ones from famous individuals. Following the name of this place, an infinite number of battlefields were created as Minhyuk fought them one after another.

[You have won in the Infinite Battlefield!]

[You have gained 25 platinum.]

[Your opponent has a record of 7 consecutive wins.]

[Your opponent was a master of the Infinite Battlefield.]

[You have gained 1,213 Infinite Points.]

[You have won in the Infinite Battlefield!]

[You have gained 50 platinum.]

[Your opponent 3 consecutive wins.]

[You have gained 603 Infinite Points.]

[You have won in the Infinite Battlefield!]

[...won in the Infinite Battlefield!]

[...won in the Infinite Battlefield!]

Minhyuk\'s winning streak continued.

[You have achieved ten consecutive wins!]

[You have gained 1,000 Infinite Points.]

[...achieved 20 consecutive wins!]

[...gained 2,000 Infinite Points.]

[...achieved 30 consecutive wins]

Many came to challenge Captain Rice, who appeared like a gust of wind on these battlefields. Those who came to challenge him after watching Logans video were all defeated. And now, as the new rookie, he was the talk of all the ZTubers in town.

After that, Minhyuk decided to increase the number of opponents he would fight by a hundred. Then, he continued to sweep through everything like a whirlwind. Because of that, the number of match requests that came Minhyuks way increased significantly. Why? Because they all thought that there was no way they would lose to someone who was a hundred levels lower than them.

[...achieved 40 consecutive wins]

[...achieved 50 consecutive wins]

[...achieved 60 consecutive wins]

Minhyuk began fighting more than fifty people a day in the Infinite Battlefield. At the same time, the name Captain Rice appeared and soared in the real-time search rankings of various portal sites worldwide. Those who saw him fight immediately made a lot of noise.

[Captain Rice vs. Alexander. Who do you guys think will win?]

[Alexander.]

[No one can keep up with the Weapon Master.]

[Alexander has fought and won more than 500 matches in a row. What he achieved is literally a legend, and it will not be broken in the future.]

[Then, Food God vs. Captain Rice. Who will win?]

[To be honest, the Food God is too strong because he has his class, empire, and friends.]

[Hes strong. But I think its impossible to deal with Alexander regarding PVP. Alexander alone can handle dozens of weapons.]

[No. Were talking about Food God vs. Captain Rice. So, who?]

[But dont you think the Food God will win? Hes an expert in kendo.]

[Kendo cant be used in real life. MUSAT will win. Lol]

[Assuming theyre on the same level, I think it will be Captain Rice. But I wonder who Captain Rice is. Is he a non-commissioned UDT officer?]

[Captain Rice is not revealing his identity because he is currently one of the active officers of the UDT. Yep, yep.]

[Where did you get that info?]

[In my head.]

[...?]

The thought of Minhyuk as Captain Rice did not even cross the people\'s minds. This was because they had yet to see Minhyuk use MUSAT.

Minhyuk didn\'t have to use a dagger since he was both the Food God and the Battle God. After all, most of his skills were geared toward a sword. But now? He was using MUSAT in the Infinite Battlefield and showed explosive prowess and skill.

It took Minhyuk only a short time to reach the milestone of 200 consecutive wins. He was delighted to see the thick Infinite Points he had accumulated.

If I can gather 10,000 Infinite Points, then I will be able to eat the Assorted Pork Set! Minhyuk thought as he increased his pace.

At the same time in Joy Co. Ltd.

President Kang Taehoon said, Lets ensure we are all fully prepared for the Infinite Battles that will start in thirty minutes.

The events for the Infinite Battlefield, events that many viewers would enjoy, were about to begin.

***

Today would mark Alexanders 600th consecutive win in the Infinite Battlefield. As of now, he had accumulated around 910,000 Infinite Points.

If I can collect 90,000 more, I can unlock the Weapon Masters additional skills.

Alexander participated in the Infinite Battlefield mainly because of the Weapon Masters skills. After he achieved 100 consecutive wins, he acquired one strong skill. Then, the requirements for the acquisition of the second skill appeared immediately.

The requirement for acquiring the second skill was accumulating 1,000,000 Infinite Points in the Infinite Battlefield. The number was staggeringly high, and people would say it was crazy if they heard the requirement. Fighting was no problem. The problem was that the number of matches that Alexander fought in per day had significantly reduced since he started.

[You have a match! Please check your opponent for the match!]

Someone finally accepted his matching request! Alexander immediately checked the information of his opponent.
