I am Hunter. Why Do I Need to Be Popular

6 Gourmet Cells



Yuuki came back to his apartment while looking quite tired. He had taken Elsa back to her apartment. His wound and broken bone had been healed by the healer but he was very tired right now. He wanted to lay back on his bed and closed his eyes to sleep.

"Hmm, why can't I sleep?" Yuuki sighed and looked at the interference screen.

[Reputation]: 768,456

[Items]: None.

[Skills]: (D-Rank Weight Change).

[Merchant Shop]: Unlocked.

Yuuki stood up suddenly and flabbergasted. He had only left for a few hours and his [Reputation] had already become 768,456. He walked toward his computer to check his novel. He knew this was probably the reason why he had a lot of points in [Reputation].

Click!Click!Click!

Yuuki blinked his eyes several times and wiped it again. He twitched his mouth and wasn't sure how he should react to this kind of thing. He saw his novel was being bombarded by a lot of comments.

"Ah, this is the work of God."

"God of Oppai has descended on us!

"I have been reading a novel for 15 years but this is my first time seeing such god-like works like this."

"Thank you for the author, because of you, I have cured my trauma."

"OPPAAAAAAIIIII!!! BREASSTTTTT!!!"

Yuuki wasn't sure whether he should be happy to make everyone become a pervert.

"Well, at least, I have a lot of points now," Yuuki had 2 days left before he had to enter the dungeon again. He had heard that the dungeon he had entered earlier was only D-Rank Dungeon. His mind was complicated when he thought it had the same rank as his hunter rank. Even the D-Rank Dungeon was this difficult and he wasn't sure if he had an ability to take C-Rank with only a stone. He looked around in his room and only found a dagger in his room.

The quality was quite normal and didn't have a special ability or anything. It was only a sharp and tough dagger.

Yuuki tried to swing it and stabbed with it. He placed it back on the table and decided to look at the shop. He had only 768,456 and it wasn't much to buy something strong. The only thing he lacked was his physical abilities. He understood that he was very weak compared to another hunter in this world.

Ais Wallenstein who had helped him earlier was an A-Rank hunter. He had heard it from the staff and at least he had to be as powerful as her. He needed something that could make his physical abilities stronger and made his body muscular. He hated this kind of body and that was very thin as a stick. He browsed through the "Skill Category" and found a chakra.

—-Chakra—-

Chakra is basically a form of energy. It is the combination of two types of energy, Spiritual energy, and Physical energy. Chakra allows a human to perform extraordinary actions like - walking on water, Anti-Gravity Motion, manipulate nature types and perform Jutsu or Ninja Arts.

"Hmm, chakra, huh?" Yuuki remembered this was from "Naruto" and it was a very good ability. He looked at the price and his face became pale.

"What the heck! 1,000,000!" Yuuki also saw there were many kinds of chakra from a small, medium, high, supreme, and God. He became pale when he saw the price of these chakras. He sighed and looked at the shop again to buy something that could make him stronger.

30 minutes later.

His eyes were red and he was very desperate to find something that could make his body stronger. He kept searching until he stopped at something.

—-Gourmet Cells—-

Gourmet Cells is the physical embodiment of savoriness and appetite energy, the source of life and all known ingredients. They were first discovered in the Gourmet Jellyfish by the "Gourmet God" Acacia 605 years ago. The cells have extreme regenerative and strength-enhancing qualities and can empower evolution, but most importantly greatly enhance the flavor of any organism they are part of.

Yuuki shook his head when he saw the price, "20,000,000 points." But he didn't give up, he remembered there were two ways to get a gourmet cell. He found and it was both "Ingestion" and "Injection". He sucked a deep breath when he saw the price of the "Ingestion" was 1,000,000 and the "Injection" was only 100,000.

Yuuki knew why the "Injection" was very cheap because it was dangerous. If he used it there was a big chance that he would become a mutant or monster because of it. But he knew if he didn't take it he would lose his life. He needed something that could help him to infuse the gourmet cells into his body.

The con of "Injection" method was the fastest way for him to get gourmet cells, as direct injection causes the injected cells to adapt faster and thus the time it takes for them to adapt to the body is overwhelmingly fast when compared to the safer method.

"Ingestion" was faster, however, this method takes far longer to have an effect on the body and there are many cases where the cells are never able to adapt and give no physical enhancements to the consumer.

Yuuki wanted to take the "Injection" but he didn't want a gamble rather he wanted something that helped him to increase the success rate. He browsed through the "Consumption Category" and smiled.

—-Lucky Sticker—-

Sticker used to increase your luck for 5 minutes.

"500,000," Yuuki wasn't sure whether 5 minutes were enough for him to infuse the gourmet cells into his body. He needed to buy this and "Injection" of the gourmet cells. He bought it together and looked at both on the "Equipment". He only noticed it earlier but he had something that similar to a pocket dimension. He took both Syringe of Gourmet Cells and the lucky sticker. He took a deep breath and placed the lucky sticker on his hand.

He waited for a while and suddenly his phone was ringing. He saw it was a message from the lottery company and they had transferred 50,000,000 yen on his account. He tried to search the memories from the guy in the past and found that this guy did a lottery on a whim. He knew this "The Lucky Sticker" really increased his luck. He had only a few minutes left and took the syringe.

He knew he had to do it or else he could die and even if he really did become a monster. He knew there was an item that could regain his appearance back. But if he died from the dungeon then it would be game over.

He took a deep breath and injected the syringe. He infused the gourmet cells into his body and didn't feel anything. He looked at his hand in a curious manner until he felt the world started to spin. He became very confused and couldn't say anything. He looked up and blacked out.

Thud!

If he woke up, he would scream very hard and have a fear expression since his body started to change in a strange manner and returned back. He was sure lucky to buy "The Lucky Sticker" before he injected the gourmet cells into his body.

(It is a pun!)
