(Demonic Forest)
Today is the 22nd day of the Test. Of these, two or three teams have entered the third zone. Since the second zone is much larger than the first zone, it takes a lot of time for everyone to cross it. Again, the third zone is much larger than the second zone. Due to which everyone will need a lot of time to cross it.
Chain's team has managed to cross the second zone. It might have taken a few more days if they hadn't come out of the spiders' web. It's night time so all the teams have camped. Which Team Chain is also following.
-->>I don't believe I can enter the third zone.
Suddenly Zeab spoke. Everyone was sitting around the campfire, eating and talking. Doofus pulled his hair up and said,
-->>The beasts in the second zone were nothing. I don't think the demonic beasts in the fourth zone can do anything as long as I'm standing still.
Doofus said it with great pride. His chest swelled with the words. He was basically trying to attract Elaine's attention. But that didn't happen. No one paid any attention to his words and started talking about other things.
-->>Alex I didn't know you knew how to cook!
Suddenly, Snera said something. The girls prepare food every day, but it is not as good as food. Even then, everyone has to eat with their eyes and ears. Most of the time, they have to eat cooked meat and fruit. Every time, the meat may be too cooked or they have to eat raw. People in Demonic Forest do not pay much attention to food. For the first seven days, everyone enjoyed some delicious food because of the academy's food system. But the story that followed,
In fact, no one can cook. The Duke's two daughters, the Count's one daughter, and the rest are all children of the Nobel family. No one has ever had to cook. So how would they know how to cook? The Academy had arranged for processed food, so they were able to eat lightly heated food for the first seven days. But the days that followed were very painful for everyone. The boys could either eat burnt or half-raw meat with their eyes closed, but the girls had to eat fruit. Anyway, seeing everyone's suffering, Alex held out his hand today.
"I can't cook myself. But mine would be at least a little better than their kebab." (Alex is thinking)
Until now, girls would throw pieces of meat directly into the fire, which would cause the meat to burn or remain raw on one side. Since Alex has had many barbecue parties in the world, he knows the basics. When they came from the second zone to the third zone, they met many rabbits. The rabbits were living in a small cave in this deep forest. Which, even if it didn't fall into the hands of a demonic beast or a powerful beast, would fall into the hands of Alex.
-->>I've never eaten rabbit meat. Who knows what it'll be like?
Myra said this with great interest. Rabbit is a very rare animal in this world. Which is rarely seen. And that is why this animal is seen in the Noble or Royal family. Usually rabbits are kept by the rich as a showpiece. So many people do not know how to eat it.
On the other hand, when Alex was in the Tower of Sloth, he had to kill and eat various animals every day. Even though there were no spices nearby, Alex knew how to make his food mildly delicious.
Alex had several large round pieces of thin iron in his bag. The rabbit had been skinning long ago. Alex filled the iron pieces through them. Everyone was watching with great interest. The girls were especially interested. No matter how much the girls said they were not interested in cooking, cooking was still in their DNA. So they were curious about learning to cook.
Since there are no spices here, Alex is using nature here. They have collected many different types of fruits in the past. Among them, there are several berries that come in different flavors. Alex has collected three types of berries: spicy, salty and sweet. So he can make something very good here.
Alex found a very useful fruit in the forest. The name of which he did not know. But the fruit was exactly like cooking oil. Alex named the fruit oil fruit. Of course, the real name did not matter to him. Alex extracted a lot of juice from the oil fruit. Along with that, he also mixed the juice of the bitter, sweet and salty berries and made it into a paste. He smeared each rabbit with that paste. Then he let each piece of iron burn in the fire. The rabbit meat started to boil in the fire, and a delicious smell filled everyone's nose. Everyone forgot for a while that they were in the Demonic Forest. They were trying to satisfy their hunger with smell.
-->>Alex, your mother seems to be a very good cook, doesn't she?
Myra asked another question. So far, Alex has not answered any questions. He doesn't like to talk while cooking. It's not him, most chefs in the world don't like to talk while cooking. Alex really considers himself a very high-level chef by making a kebab.
-->>Actually, my mother's cooking is not worth eating. So my father has taken the responsibility of cooking into his own hands.
Alex said this looking at everyone. Everyone turned their gaze from the food to Alex. But immediately they turned back to the rabbit meat that was scorched in the fire. After a while, the kebab was ready. This time the food was not half-raw or burnt like before. By scorching it in the fire to the right extent, the look of the kebab also looks very beautiful. Although it could have been made with more beautiful spices. But apparently this is enough.
-->>I really miss the grill a lot right now.
Suddenly, these words came out of Alex's mouth slowly. No one paid attention to this, so they did not hear him. Everyone took their share of the kebab in their hands. No one looked away except for their hands. The most attractive aspects of any food are three. One is their taste, two is their smell, and three is their look. If any food has one of the three, it will attract people's attention. However, the most dangerous of the three attractive aspects is smell. If the smell of a food is extremely delicious, then even if it is poison, people will try to eat it. This is called the natural aspect of humans.
Everyone is eating the food with great satisfaction. They feel like they have never eaten food like this before. No one has ever tried rabbit meat before. Also, they have never seen it cooked like this before. All in all, a new food is in front of them. Not only is it delicious in smell but also in taste. So no one looks the other way.
But as soon as the cook Alex put the kebab in his mouth, he wanted to vomit. The taste seemed even more strange to Alex than the burnt or half-raw kebabs he had eaten before. But there was nothing he could do. Alex looked at everyone. Seeing everyone else eating with satisfaction, Alex's eyes went up to his forehead,
"Everyone in this world has really bad taste."
Alex didn't think about it anymore. Thinking about it would actually make him vomit. He put aside his own taste and started eating with his eyes. His body needed protein. No matter how strong he was, if his body wasn't built that way, that energy wouldn't be of any use.
Alex doesn't have to pay attention to taste. Nor does he have any worries about filling his stomach. Alex hasn't been able to fill his stomach completely with food since he got his consumer title. So he doesn't have to worry about food. He can eat any food he sees. He doesn't have any problems even eating raw meat.
Alex put these things aside. Everyone was happily eating, so Alex also kept track of his time.

Alex looked at his stat points. They weren't increasing much. An increase of five per level was too little for Alex.
"Will I even have a chance to increase my stat points at level fifty?"
It reminded me of a piece of content from Alex's "Nightmare" game. It was given to all players upon reaching level 50. It would have been great if Alex had had that opportunity too.
"I didn't get any rewards for level thirty and forty." (Alex was a little disappointed)
Alex expected some kind of gift after every ten levels. However, he didn't receive anything at levels thirty and forty. He was starting to doubt his own safety, especially with the power he had.

After everyone finished eating, it was time to sleep. Everyone was entering their respective tents. Alex started to walk towards his tent. But he suddenly felt a cold breeze behind him. Elin was standing behind him. The bracelet on Elin's hand started to burn. Alex felt like the phoenix was about to come out.
-->>I have something important to talk to you about. (Eline)
Elin looks very serious. Alex doesn't understand what the girl will suddenly say to him. The girl is not at all convenient. Still, he has to treat the girl well for his mission.
-->>Yes, he said.
Alex's answer was normal. But after Elaine's words, he couldn't be normal anymore.
-->>The host of the third key has left the tower. I think he's coming for both of us. (Elaine)
Alex didn't think much of what Elaine said, but he understood that Elaine was talking about the host of Beelzebub's third magical item.
-->>Why are you coming for us? (Alex)
Alex managed to catch some, but he's still not sure. He hasn't been able to talk to Elin alone, except that day. And he hasn't learned any important information that day. So he can't catch the right things.
-->>Not for us. He is coming for our magical items. And if we want to take our magical items, he must kill us. And since he is coming from the tower, it means he must be someone of high level. (Elin)
Elin didn't give much information. But Alex had an opportunity to find out more. So he didn't let the matter go.
