[Upvotes 12 / Downvotes 0, Comments updating in real-time!]
Good equipment
Good party members
Delicious [food]
┗ Seriously, are people voting on such trivial stuff?
┗ There’s one thing here that can’t possibly be important compared to the other two.
┗ Sob ㅠㅠ
[New] What’s up with the nonexistent #3? ㅠㅠ
┗ Delicious food in dungeon raids? Is that even possible?
┗ Once you go in, it at least takes 3 days, and if all you get is rice and a piece of spam, I’d sell my soul for something better.
┗ Sell your soul? Really?
┗ What if you had kimchi stew, a fried egg, and some seaweed?
┗ Where’d my soul go?
[New] Everyone, write down your favorite menu.
I’m going on a dungeon 3rd floor stabilization mission tomorrow and can’t decide on dinner.
┗ Beef soybean paste stew with pork belly.
┗ Boss, add a cold noodle here.
[NEW] Stabilization mission? That sounds so tough.
Isn’t it usually a week? Eating only jerky, dried fish, and water for a week…
┗ It’s been 20 years since the dungeon opened, and we still haven’t gotten past the 4th floor.
┗ Please balance the patch…ㅠㅠ
┗ The deeper you go, the longer it takes, but supplies are impossible to get…
┗ They really made dungeon raids so freaking hard…
┗ Hello, I’m a newbie who awakened yesterday and doesn’t understand anything you guys are saying?
┗ Welcome. Soon you’ll lose your sense of taste too.
┗ [See Information] Foods you can eat inside the dungeon
– Dried fish, jerky, dried fruits
– Water
– Potions
┗ Hunters quitting dungeon raids and getting regular jobs are probably either valuing their lives or because they can’t eat anything decent in there, right?
┗ Goodbye everyone, I’m a foodie, not a combat hunter, so I’ll just work at a company and eat delicious food.
┗ What if you get addicted to the dungeon though?
┗ That’s not even a confirmed fact.
[New] Unless you’re top-tier, using skills or magic drains your energy and mana like money disappearing from your bank account on payday.
┗ You too?
┗ 2222 When are you supposed to recover while eating only jerky and water?
┗ That’s why everyone was happy when potions were developed, but…
┗ The captain was very disappointed with the taste of the potions.
┗ The alchemists said they focused on survival, not taste when making them…
┗ Potions restore energy and mana!
┗ Why can’t we bring [food] into the dungeon in the first place?

[Truth! Or Lies?]
I’m sharing my story about seeing a food truck in the dungeon [Anonymous]
First off, I know you all won’t believe me, and I’m not sure if I believe it myself, so let me start by revealing my affiliation.
I’m part of the 5th squad of the current Taebaek Guild, in the search team for the dungeon’s 3rd floor stabilization mission. I’m the guy who asked for dinner recommendations last week.
Right now, I’m not even sure if what I saw was real or just a hallucination, so I’m writing this down.
You guys know you can’t bring food into the dungeon, right? And dungeons are freaking huge.
Anyway, on the last day of our 7-day mission, we were clearing the map in the Shadow Wraith Forest, which is full of fog and super creepy.
I was on night duty for three days straight, couldn’t sleep because of the ghost sounds during the day, and hadn’t eaten properly, so I was super hungry.
But then I saw something glowing orange in the distance.
I put on my flashlight item to get a better look, and it turned out to be a big, white food truck.
And from that direction, I smelled something delicious. It got covered by the fog again, so I couldn’t see it clearly, but it was definitely a food truck, like the ones you see in the city.
┗ LMAO, dude, are your mental stats low?
┗ 22222 I agree, that the Shadow Wraith Forest has a constant mental corruption field.
┗ Ugh, I got tricked into taking this seriously by a guy seeing hallucinations.
[OP] That’s why I said I wasn’t sure, but it was definitely a food truck, and it smelled amazing. It was a snack truck. Haha.
I can’t even believe what I’m saying as I type this.
┗ Seeing a snack food truck in a hallucination that shows you what you want the most? That’s so humble.
[OP] If you don’t want to believe me, fine, but why mock me? Have any of you smelled food in a dungeon?
┗ Nope.
┗ Imagine the smell of rice cakes, fried food, and sausages on the 7th day in a dungeon…
┗ So, did you eat anything from the food truck??
[OP] No, I didn’t get to eat it because a team member called for help, but there was a person there. It looked like a woman with a mask, like those kitchen masks, stirring tteokbokki with both hands.
I know it sounds crazy, but the smell was real. I almost ran towards it without thinking.
┗ If you lose your mind, I’d understand.
┗ So after that, did you enjoy tteokbokki?
┗ LMAO, I want to see a food truck too! That sounds super cool.
┗ Imagine if there was a tent bar selling soju and banquet noodles in the dungeon. I’d bring 5 bottles of soju!

[Info] Hey, does anyone remember the post about seeing a food truck in the dungeon a month ago?
┗I know it sounds crazy, but I saw it too.
┗Not only did I see it, but I actually bought and ate food there.
┗If this is a hallucination, I’ll return my hunter license and go back to training.
┗ You’d go back to training? You must be crazy to write something like this.
┗ Haha, buying food from a food truck in a dungeon, seriously?
┗ So how was the taste? Haha.
┗ Your country calls you! Welcome to the Awakener Training Center of the Homeland!
┗ I’m getting PTSD, so calm down.
┗ So, where did you see it?
[OP] I know it sounds crazy, but I saw it at Gate 3 in the Valley of Despair on the 2nd floor.
I was solo hunting in the low-level zone when I suddenly smelled something delicious.
I found myself walking towards it, and then I heard the sound of a truck engine starting. Suddenly, a truck appeared right in front of me.
I’m not kidding, I had the best pork cutlet rice bowl of my life there.
As I got closer, a woman peeked out from the truck’s kitchen and asked if I was a customer.
Without thinking, I ordered the pork cutlet rice bowl, which was the recommended dish, and she made it right on the spot.
It took about 5 minutes? I devoured it in an instant as soon as I took a bite.
It was so delicious I almost lost my mind. The woman, who seemed to be the owner, even gave me a cola, telling me to eat slowly.
┗ LMAO, this dude is really crazy.
┗ Someone send this guy the link to a nearby mental hospital.

[OP] And she said I was her first customer and was so happy that she didn’t even charge me.
But while I was distracted taking gold out of my inventory… the truck disappeared; it was really there just a moment ago.
┗ Tada~ What disappeared was your sanity!
┗ Seriously, get your act together. How are you going to survive in this harsh world? And who goes into a dungeon alone, even in a low-level zone? Do you have a death wish?
[OP] I’m serious. The truck even had a name written on a chalkboard.
The name was… something like “Jieun’s…” Anyway, the pork cutlet was real.
Oh, and the owner was really cute.
