Food Truck Owner Inside the Dungeon

**Dungeon Food Truck Owner – Episode 2**

“Kyahhh!!!”

Startled by the sudden loud voice, Ji-eun screamed. Turning around in a hurry, she saw the driver’s door of the truck opening and closing on its own.

“Is it a ghost?”

“A ghost has possessed the truck!”

The voice was large and seemingly flustered. Soon, a crackling sound followed, and soft classical music began to play.

As Ji-eun stepped back, trying to distance herself from the truck, the driver’s door, which had been erratically opening and closing, finally stopped, wide open.

“Who are you?”

“…?”

The voice shifted to a more nagging tone.

Ji-eun still couldn’t comprehend the situation of being awakened as a food truck owner, and now the truck was talking to her.

Would you like to proceed with the tutorial? YES/NO]

A system window popped up asking if she wanted to proceed with the tutorial, which she had just decided to hold off on. The ‘YES’ panel was flashing brightly.

“…”

Let’s proceed with the tutorial! YES]

“This was really suspicious.”

Please proceed with the tutorial, pretty please. YES

Thank you for proceeding with the tutorial. YES]

[At this rate, you’ll be curious enough to hit yes.]

Hey, are you not going to run a food truck?

“Are you mad at me?”

[Of course not.]

“You suddenly got quiet?”

There was a system error.

The error has been fixed.

Would you like to proceed with the tutorial? YES]

As Ji-eun continued to hesitate, the suspicious system window finally revealed its true nature. It felt almost human as it persistently urged her to proceed with the tutorial.

“Who are you, anyway?”

The system window kept glowing, and the unknown voice kept speaking.

Having lived 21 years as a non-awakened person, Ji-eun was caught off guard by suddenly awakening as a food truck owner. For a moment, she was flustered, but now irritation was beginning to rise.

“Yes, I’m Ji-eun.”

“you?”

A spirit coming out of the truck?

Ji-eun blinked in surprise.

Having had no interest in hunters, she didn’t even know what a spirit was. Hearing the voice identify itself as a spirit left her in a daze.

“A spirit?”

“Do hidden classes usually have spirits?”

So, in game terms, the spirit acted as a guidebook for different professions.

It would explain which skills to allocate skill points to first and how to level up.

“Accept the tutorial.”

You have accepted the tutorial.

[Quest: Preparing for Business.]

This is a class-specific quest that only occurs once. Future preparations will be influenced by the awakened one’s skills.

[Preparation Step 1: Menu Selection]

What food will you sell today to earn money… to feed your customers? Menu selection is the most important issue. Please choose a menu you are confident in from the following options.

Korean Cuisine

Western Cuisine

Japanese Cuisine

Chinese Cuisine

Snacks

Fast food (e.g., burgers, sandwiches)

Desserts

Bakery

As Ji-eun examined the menu options presented by the system window, her expression became serious.

When she applied for the food truck competition, Ji-eun never intended to operate the truck with just one menu. That’s why the truck, customized according to the winner’s order, was equipped with a small oven, grill, and gas stove.

Having developed numerous recipes since childhood, Ji-eun’s specialty was Korean cuisine.

She could make most dishes that appeared on a Korean table and did them well.

In addition, she practiced Japanese and Chinese cuisines, and recently even Western dishes, by watching YouTube and other specialized cooking channels.

The only areas where she lacked confidence were desserts and bakery items. However, she had been attending a cooking academy for the past six months to prepare for the competition.

Given that baking relies on precise measurements, Ji-eun had found a newfound charm in it, making it no surprise that she was currently quite into baking.

Sure! Here’s the translation of the text into English:

—

It was difficult for Ji-eun to choose just one from the eight options. Feeling frustrated, she pressed down on the system window and dragged her selection from option 1 to option 8 all at once.

[Quest: Step 1 of Business Preparation: Menu Selection is Complete!]

All menus have been selected.

The ingredients provided by the skill [Today’s Recommended Dish (Lv. 1)] have now expanded to cover all categories.

“Uh?”

Not knowing what to choose, she dragged everything at once, and it seemed like that was a stroke of luck. If the ingredients provided by the skill had been limited to just one category, it would have been quite disappointing. But according to the system window, it meant she could now receive almost all ingredients.

“No, it’s just that I know how to make all of them.”

In any case, it was clear that she had achieved the best outcome in the first step of menu selection. The fresh ingredients would be supplied according to the menu decided each day, making it not just a reduction in raw material costs but a cheat key for free raw materials!

As long as she made and sold them, she would generate 100% pure profit—a miraculous first step toward success.

[Quest: Step 2 of Business Preparation—Ingredient Preparation]

Once you select the menu you want to make, the corresponding ingredients will be automatically generated in your inventory.

The freshest ingredients will be supplied every day.

As Ji-eun was told to decide on a menu, she thought of the food she had planned to sell starting tomorrow and smiled brightly. It was a menu that was also easy to prepare.

“B.L.T. Sandwich.”

A B.L.T. sandwich.

The name is derived from the first letters of its three main ingredients: bacon, lettuce, and tomato.

It was an easy dish made by layering lettuce, bacon, tomato, bacon, and lettuce between slices of rye bread or a rye baguette.

[Menu Selection is Complete.]

With the notification, her inventory automatically opened.

As per the skill description, ingredients were automatically provided: rye bread and baguettes, along with bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and various basic sauces for dressings.

“Wow, this is insane.”

She could only describe it as insane. Ji-eun’s eyes widened in astonishment as she checked the numbers next to each ingredient.

“Is this enough for 200 servings?”

She had never thought she could sell that many sandwiches from her food truck on the first day.

After all, Ji-eun had her own speed when it came to making sandwiches. Even if she was fast, the flavor of freshly made sandwiches was on a whole different level compared to pre-made ones.

So she had considered selling them made-to-order as customers came in. Based on her own standards, 200 sandwiches was definitely more than she could handle in a day.

Contrary to Ji-eun’s thoughts, the system window was relentless.

[Quest: Step 2 of Business Preparation—Start Ingredient Preparation!]

Menu: BLT Sandwich

Slice tomatoes into quarters (0/50).

Prepare lettuce (0/20 heads).

Cut bread in half (0/100 slices).

Cook bacon (0 kg/15 kg)

Boil eggs (0/200)

Make sauce (0L/5L)

Cut the cheese (0/200 slices).

Progress (0%)

The quest will end once all ingredients have been prepared!

“Do I have to do all this?”

She felt completely trapped.

She had fallen into the swamp of preparing ingredients for 200 sandwiches.

She had never imagined the tutorial would proceed like this. Staring blankly at the enormous amount of ingredients pouring out of her inventory onto the truck’s cooking counter, she muttered in disbelief.

“Unbelievable…”

The spirit of the food truck laughed as if a massive bomb had just dropped, filling not just the cooking counter but also the sink and floor with countless sandwich ingredients.

“What do you think I’m thinking?”

“No, you’re a spirit! Use some magic to help me out!”

Sure, making 200 servings wasn’t something she couldn’t do. However, Ji-eun had never prepared such a large quantity of ingredients before.

The basics of selling were about consistency!

Some sandwiches were big, while others were small. If there was even a slight difference in the filling, customers would naturally think something was off.

If they paid the same price, why would there be a difference in quantity or size? The moment complaints came in, her business would clearly not run smoothly, which was why Ji-eun had prepared a mold to cut the sandwiches to a set size.

“Wow…”

Still, Ji-eun was absolutely not unhappy with the current situation. In fact, she was very satisfied.

The tomatoes were not bruised or split, and they looked as fresh as if they had just been picked, with large seeds.

The bread was warm as if just baked. The cheese had a rich aroma, and the bacon was of perfect length and size—not too fatty, not too lean.

The eggs had a rough shell, indicating freshness. The lettuce was so crisp that when she took a bite, it made a satisfying crunch that was quite loud.

This was truly the best opportunity. Being able to cook with such ingredients provided daily was incredible.

Overwhelmed with emotion, Ji-eun murmured to herself.

“This is amazing.”

Top-quality ingredients!

The most important aspect of cooking was being provided for free!

“Well then, shall we get started?”

And so, Ji-eun’s unintended first preparation for her food truck business began.
