He opened his eyes.

It's all around.

The pendulum of the old-fashioned pendulum clock hanging from the wall swings silently.

Naoki sat up from the bed violently, his chest rising and falling, gasping violently.

What is this place?

Naoki subconsciously observed the surroundings, and his heart was full of confusion and incomprehension.

It's a small log cabin.

Inside the room, there is a single bed against the wall, and opposite the bed is a log-colored desk, on which a bulging hiking backpack is randomly placed.

On the other side of the room sat a wooden cabinet with a stove resembling a coal stove and kitchen utensils such as soup pots and iron pots.

Looking at this strange scene, Naoki was even more confused.

What's going on?

Shouldn't he be working overtime in the company right now? Why is it here?

"Shhh...... My head hurts! ”

Something suddenly appeared in his head, and it made Naoki feel like his head was swollen.

A large number of memories came flooding in, and when they were digested, Naoki suddenly had an expression of disbelief on his face.

Crossed?

After a brief moment of consternation, Naoki slowly sorted out the current situation.

He did cross over.

Sudden death from fatigue due to five consecutive days of overtime traveled into this world.

It's a very different world from Earth.

In addition to humans, there is also another creature called "Pokémon" that can be seen in every corner of the world, whether it is in the sky, the sea, or the land.

"It's the world of Pokémon!" Naoki was a little surprised.

He can't say that he knows a lot about Pokémon, but whether it's games or anime, he's played and watched them.

When I was young, I also longed for the life of this world.

It's notoriously laid-back, and humans can pick up initial Pokémon and travel around the world with them as long as they're at least ten years old.

Now that he has crossed over, can he also travel as he pleases like Ash in the anime?

As soon as he thought that he could get out of 996, get rid of the mortgage and car loan, and no longer have to be a useless social animal, Naoki felt a burst of emotion in his heart.

But soon, he calmed down again.

The ideal is very plump, but the reality is very skinny.

The name of the person he crossed through was also Naoki, and his hometown was in the Padia region, and he moved to the Hoenn region with his parents when he was a child.

Soon after that, both of the original parents died of illness – and they traveled to the Hoenn region to recuperate.

After the death of his parents, he sold his real estate and wandered outside for many years as if he had seen through the red dust.

Finally, at the age of twenty, he chose to return to his hometown of the Padian region, to the pasture left by his grandfather, who died young, and ended his life here.

Although this is the world of Pokémon, the original body has not accepted Pokémon because he doesn't want to be concerned.

With these memories in his mind, Naoki felt a little embarrassed in his heart, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh.

"Goo-goo-goo......"

The empty stomach let out a cry of protest, and Naoki glanced at the time.

2:00AM

At two o'clock in the morning, judging from the current situation, it seems that the original owner did not eat dinner.

Naoki sighed, said sorry in his heart, and then got out of bed, opened the original owner's backpack according to the situation in his memory, found a pack of ramen noodles from it, took a little water from the pot, and put it on the coal stove and boiled it.

While waiting for the water to boil, Naoki searched left and right, but found nothing edible except for some basic spices.

Although this is a pasture, because it has been abandoned for many years, the fields in the pasture have long been occupied by weeds and rocks, so naturally there are no vegetables and fruits, let alone eggs.

I still have memories of the prosperous pasture in my mind.

At that time, the pastures were lively and prosperous, with a variety of crops growing in the neat fields, and the branches of the fruit trees were full of heavy fruits.

The Pokémon hut houses a herd of large milk pots imported from the Johto region and pigtailed sheep from the Chalel region, and rows of beehives are placed on the grass outside the house.

The three bees collect nectar from the outside and send it to the hive to make honey, and every few days they receive jars of crystal-clear, sweet, mellow, golden and viscous honey.

At this time, the water boiled.

Just as Naoki opened the package of ramen noodles and was about to put it in the water, a piece of information suddenly came to his mind.

[Instant ramen: low quality, no nutritious basic food, but because of its convenience of cooking, it is favored by many field workers and travelers, and the effect is unknown.] ]

Hey? This is......

Naoki inexplicably felt that this thing was somewhat familiar.

When the ramen noodles are put into the water, the stiff noodles quickly soften as the water boils.

Naoki puts seasoning in it.

When it comes to cooking, he can't say he's proficient, he only knows a little bit.

Because he lives alone, he prepares his three meals a day most of the time, because it saves money, and over time he learns to cook.

Soon, the ramen was cooked.

Naoki didn't think much of it, put it in a bowl, and sat down at his desk to fill his stomach with it.

But at this moment, the familiar information resurfaced in his mind.

[Clear soup noodles with too much salt (D-): Low-level cuisine, because of the addition of excessive salt, causing it to lose its original buff effect, it can only be used to satisfy the stomach, it is easy to get thirsty after eating too much, and Pokémon who like salty taste may like it, Evaluation: Although it is poor, it is not enough to make Pokémon faint after eating. ]

Naoki's brow jumped.

Boy!

He finally remembered where this familiar feeling came from!

Isn't this the in-game cooking interface developed by their game company called [Cooking Master]?

It's a garbage game used to trick Krypton in the name of food.

The game is a development type, and the premise inside is that the player has magical abilities.

They create dishes that provide the characters with a variety of attributes and buffs, as well as other bizarre magical abilities.

The magnitude of the buff is related to the level of cooking made by the player, and as in most garbage games, the cooking level is divided from F- all the way up to SSS.

The level of the dish is closely related to the rarity and quality of the ingredients, as well as the player's cooking skills.

D- can only be said to be average, if the taste is worse F-, it will even bring a debuff to the villains in the game, reducing their attributes, and making them die violently when fighting enemies......

"What's the situation?" Naoki was a little stunned, and couldn't help but think of the web novel he had read, "Is this my golden finger?" ”

Naoki looked at the Pokémon word in the description above as he picked up the bowl and ate the noodles.

As the noodles take their mouth, a salty taste fills the mouth.

Naoki: "......"

Sure enough, there was too much salt.

It's hard to eat, but it's the only food left in the house at the moment.

Naoki endured eating while continuing to study the situation of Goldfinger.

In other words, the food he is making now can bring all kinds of magical abilities and buffs to the Pokémon he eats.

Probably?
