Chapter 55: Meal, Bath and Coins
It had taken some time, but Im-hee had managed to heal everyone. After which, she barely clung to consciousness long enough to produce the cooking items from her Inventory. But once she had done so, she passed out cold.
Jang-book was the one to carry her to her bed. Although everyone wanted to protest, no one could. They knew purchasing Blood Burner was both infeasible and impractical.
The Coins it cost were far more than what they would make from a single kill.
It was just not worth it.
Yet no one would ask Im-hee to heal now. Fortunately for them all, Im-hee was far from selfish. And since she willingly offered to take the pain upon herself, they couldn’t refuse... no matter how much they wanted to.
After she had passed out, Min-ho had offered to prepare the meal this time around, while the others took turns showering in the bathroom. By the time it was his turn, the meal was already prepared and waiting for them.
It was nothing too fancy. Min-ho had done what Im-hee did before, which was marinating the meat in spices and frying it in oil.
Though he initially wanted to cook the meat into pepper soup, the fact that they were running out of rainwater had prohibited him from doing so.
Else they would need to purchase water for an exorbitant amount—which seemed like what they would be doing soon if they didn’t find a source of fresh water.
Once the meal was done, Min-ho decided to eat with the others before taking a shower.
They sat around the floor in a circle and mostly ate in silence.
