Chapter 430 – Chapter 428-Midnight Canteen (1)
The meat tendrils that had invaded his body were forced out by the energy. After dealing with the dangerous sealed artifact, Niles finally relaxed.
At this time, he noticed that there were seven or eight figures with abyssal auras around him, and almost every one of them was stronger than him.
He looked around and found that the entire factory area had been razed to the ground by the aftermath of the battle. He could not help but swallow.
He originally thought that Li Rui was just an iron-level ant that could be easily crushed. Who would have thought that he would cause such a big commotion?
Although the Japanese were not considered a top-tier power, they were still one of the best in the second-tier teams. His actions could almost be regarded as a provocation.
If he didn’t give an explanation today, it would probably be difficult to end things peacefully.
Niers felt bitter, and endless regret welled up in his heart.
He was too impulsive!
If I had known that the kid was the Dragon of the town, why would I have come to attack him?
With his mind in a mess, he raised his face and forced an ugly smile at the seven or eight burly men around him.
“This is actually a misunderstanding …”
……
It was almost midnight, and Li Rui was walking on the streets of Tokyo with a pale face.
In fact, he was not as strong as he looked.
He only had one-fifth of his health left, and his mana was completely exhausted. What was worse was that his head was throbbing with pain.
The injury to his soul had not healed yet, and he had used all his strength in this battle with a gold Ranker. Now, his head felt like it was going to explode, and he was in a daze.
Rapid recovery required a massive amount of nutrients to support it. A steady stream of warm energy flowed into his internal organs, nourishing every injured cell.
However, the void stomach’s digestion speed increased correspondingly, and a heart-wrenching hunger rose in his lower abdomen.
I seem to have run out of ingredients at home. Let’s find a 24-hour restaurant for a meal.
Holding his growling stomach, Li Rui began to wander around the street.
However, after walking a few streets, all the doors were closed, and not a single shop was open for business.
F * ck, are you going to be hungry tonight?
Just as Li Rui fell into despair, a strange fragrance entered his nose.
What was that smell? It smells so good!
Li Rui sniffed and his eyes lit up. He followed the smell and came to a hidden alley.
As they went deeper into the alley, a dim neon sign illuminated a small area. Through the glass door, a warm yellow light was revealed.
“いらっしゃいませ! (Welcome)”
When he opened the door, Li Rui was greeted with a warm welcome.
Looking around, the owner was the only one in the entire store. The surrounding decorations were compact and warm, giving people the warmth of home.
“Welcome to midnight dining hall. What would you like to eat?”
The handsome middle-aged man smiled and asked Li Rui to sit down.
“Uh, don’t you guys have a menu?”
“No, but you can order whatever you want to eat. I’ll make it for you.”
“Then … I want to eat meat, a lot of meat.”
“No problem! Please wait a moment!”
The boss immediately went to the counter and got busy. Li Rui’s seat was in front of him and he looked at him curiously.
The middle-aged man wasn’t handsome, but he looked very manly. Girls who liked stylish men would probably like his type.
The middle-aged man hummed an unknown, light tune as he stirred. A faint smile hung on his face, and his entire being exuded a faint sense of happiness.
Looking at him cooking seriously, Li Rui seemed to be affected by the atmosphere. The tension and depression of the battle gradually dissipated and his mood became relaxed.
“Uncle, what do you want to make for me?”
“Hehe, you guess?”
The uncle winked at him mischievously, which made Li Rui smile.
But when he took out a large piece of fat meat, Li Rui couldn’t laugh anymore.
The rich light of spiritual spirals flickered on the meat slices. Just by looking at the appearance, it was better than all the ingredients he had ever eaten!
“Wait, uncle, I might not be able to afford your ingredients.”
With a bitter smile, Li Rui stopped him from cutting and looked at the fat meat reluctantly.
No wonder the fragrance was so unique. It turned out to be an extraordinary ingredient.
it’s okay. I support bartering here. If you have anything good that you don’t need, you can use it for the meal. If you really can’t use it, you can owe me first and pay next time.
The butcher’s knife in the boss’s hand moved quickly, cutting a large piece of transcendent meat into thin slices with a strange rhythm.
The sauce that had been mixed was poured on the meat slices and stirred gently, allowing each slice of meat to be fully marinated.
Li Rui pondered for a moment, then calmed down and silently watched the boss busy.
At this moment, the door was opened again. A beautiful woman in a black windbreaker walked in and greeted the boss with familiarity.
“Yuuko-chan, is today the same?”
“Hmm, same as usual, purple cat rice.”
“Alright, wait a moment.”
Sitting down a seat away from Li Rui, The Woman in Black took out her mobile phone and scrolled through the boss’s progress from time to time.
In the sizzling sound of oil, the strong smell of barbecue spread in the small house. The empty stomach twitched and Li Rui felt so hungry that he wanted to eat someone.
Fortunately, the boss didn’t make him wait long.
A bowl-like large bowl was filled with sparkling rice, and on top of it was a thick layer of roasted meat. It was accompanied by two plates of green vegetables, and it was very appetizing.
“Barbecued meat rice, please enjoy.”
When the bowl of rice was placed in front of Li Rui, the barbecue was still dripping with oil.
The fat, fresh, and fragrant gravy seeped into the rice with a light sweetness.
Li Rui couldn’t help but smile happily.
The cooking wasn’t complicated, but it could give people extreme satisfaction.
The freshness of the meat and the sweetness of the rice mixed together and slid down his esophagus into his stomach. The emptiness was filled, and a trace of warmth spread from his lower abdomen to the whole body. It was as if he was soaked in a hot spring, and he was about to float!
No longer caring about his image, Li Rui swallowed and chewed in big mouthfuls, until his mouth was full of oil.
The boss would look at him from time to time while he was busy. When he found that he was satisfied with the food, he smiled.
In just a few minutes, the bottom of the bowl was easily seen. The rice soaked in the gravy was sweet and delicious. Li Rui picked up the last rice grain and put it into his mouth, sighing in satisfaction.
“Yuuko-chan, here’s your purple Luan cat rice.”
The delicate bowl was placed in front of The Woman in Black. Li Rui subconsciously glanced at it and found that it was sashimi covered rice.
The colorful fish covered the rice piece by piece, forming a flower. It was very attractive.
Noticing Li Rui’s greedy eyes, the woman glared at him with dissatisfaction and protected the small bowl without hiding it.
Li Rui smiled awkwardly and looked away.
“Ahem, boss, do you think I can pay for this?”
Pretending to reach into his arms, Li Rui took out a transparent glass bottle from his storage belt. The crystal-clear red liquid inside slightly rippled and glowed with a charming luster under the light.
