Did Joy Co. Ltd. create the Grumpy Gochujang for no reason at all? Everything in Athenae was related to ‘scenarios’, ‘quests’ or other events, so would they create a gochujang with an ego just for laughs? Minhyuk believed that it was unlikely.

As it turned out, it was a mysterious existence with a power that surpassed even the gods. It even blessed Minhyuk with a +2% increase in all of his stats. On top of that, the spiciness of the dish would vary depending on who would eat the gochujang-based dish.

‘What an amazing ability.’

The dish would set the most delicious spiciness level depending on the person that would consume the dish. Minhyuk had never heard of an ability like this. However, one thing was for sure. This was an ability that all of the chefs in the world would covet.

As for the Puzzling Seasoning Jar that Minhyuk obtained…

‘If it’s a seasoning jar that has the ability that I’m thinking of then…’

If it was as Minhyuk guessed, then its power was likely to be astronomical. In fact, the seasoning jar’s ability that Minhyuk was thinking of was simple. Just as the gochujang adjusted its flavor to suit the taste of the one that would eat it, what if the salt that he would get from the seasoning jar would also make the dish its most delicious version based on the person eating it?

‘That would be insane…’

Any kind of dish served to others all over the world would be seasoned by the chef that made it. However, everyone’s taste buds and palates were different. Some preferred it salty, some preferred it to be plain and simple, while some preferred it bland.

The first thing that Minhyuk did was to check the Puzzling Seasoning Jar.
