Learning cooking skills could guarantee an increase in the quality of the dish. The most important improvement would be on the taste and flavor of the dish. Acquiring cooking skills would also allow the player to gain Dexterity (DEX). Dexterity (DEX) was a very helpful stat in almost all areas of expertise. 

However, it was a very difficult stat to increase. Once a chef player invested points in their DEX, the flavor and taste of their dish would have a significant increase in quality. At the same time, this change would only be noticeable if the DEX had reached twenty. For example, if a player chose to increase their STR, they would get an increase of +3 in their physical attack power. For DEX, increasing it to +20 would result in a +1 in flavor.

In any case, what was the reason why Minhyuk played this game? Was it not because he wanted to enjoy food? The reasons stated above were more than enough to make Minhyuk desire to increase and hone his DEX. However, there was just one problem…

'The DEX stat, like reputation, can't be increased with bonus points.’ 

In addition, DEX could only be increased through performing repetitive motions or special circumstances, such as creating something outstanding or spectacular.

'From what I heard, repeatedly practicing a skill until mastery will let me gain a DEX point.'
