Gentleman's Night Canteen

There is no doubt that Lan Meng cares about the task, but that is not the case for Ying and Jiujo Shaluo who don't know the existence of the 'system' at all.

From their point of view, Lan Meng should be happy about the possibility of becoming an official.

In their common sense, a chef is only a chef no matter how good his cooking skills are, but once he can successfully become an official, he is a real 'noble'.

Even if it's just the lowest-level warrior, it's still very different from the commoners before.

What's more, those who serve now are still under the command of the 'general', even the lowest-level warriors are half a level higher than other warriors.

Ying closed her heart in order to pursue "eternity", but it doesn't mean she doesn't know the art of imperial servants. In her opinion, the conditions she promised are already attractive enough.

It's a pity that she got one thing wrong from the beginning, that is, Lan Meng is not from Liyue at all.

He is not interested in the so-called 'becoming an official' at all, what he is really interested in is the tasks and rewards.

He took up the task decisively.

"Master Thor! I will work hard!"

Seeing Lan Meng's expression as if she was beating chicken blood, Ying nodded silently. In her opinion, her plan had succeeded.

But it's clear that she doesn't seem to trust Lan Meng's 'guarantee' very much.

"Very good. For the next period of time, you will temporarily leave it to Jiujo to be in charge of her. If you need anything, you can talk to her directly."

Normally, the 'chef' should not be in charge of 'Tianling Pursuit', the violent institution in Inazuma City, but she obviously didn't mean to make Lanmeng the opponent's subordinate at all. It was just to give the other party a reason to 'monitor' Lan Meng.

Lan Meng is not an idiot either. After his emotions gradually calmed down, he also realized that the other party made those women who knew at a glance that it had nothing to do with 'cooking'. The woman who almost killed him before was responsible for him. It should not be to help him, but... it doesn't matter. up.

Anyway, as long as he survives the catastrophe in front of him, he can run away with a bucket.

At that time, the other party may lose sight of him and may be punished.

Thinking of this, Lan Meng's smile became even brighter.

Looking at Lan Meng's right hand that he offered to show his favor, Jiutiao Saluo naturally held it.

Although in Jiujo Shaluo's view, Lanmeng's ability is very subtle.

But since 'Master General' is absolutely wooing the other party, then she naturally supports it with all her strength!

In short, it is——————The general is right!

It's just that I don't know if it's Jiutiao Shaluo's illusion, I always feel that Lan Meng's smile seems to be a bit... malicious?

Although there seemed to be some subtle misunderstanding between Lanmeng, Yingzai, or Jiujo Shaluo, as far as the results were concerned, all three parties seemed to be quite satisfied.

After finishing the business, Ying also directly asked Kujo Saura to take Lanmeng to pick up the supplies, and said that he could be allocated a room as a place to exercise his ability during this period.

Although it was said to be a reward, Lan Meng who followed Jiutiao Shaluo out of the study knew that the other party was just trying to drive people away, and what the other party said could be simpler.

'It's time for you to run errands,'

'It's just like the scumbag who lifts up his pants and leaves after coaxing the girl to bed...a scumbag. '

While secretly cursing in her heart, Lan Meng silently followed Jiutiao Shaluo and left the mansion of the 'Master General'.

Although because of the system, Lan Meng had a certain degree of advance and retreat before, but as an ordinary person facing a "general" who is about to decide his own life and death, Lan Meng is still under a lot of pressure. It came to an end for a while, and Lan Meng gradually returned to normal.

He began to have free time to focus on some 'insignificant' things.

For example... the black wings behind the 'Nine Traces of Sala' who are leading the way in front of me.

Seems like it should be true, right?

I just don't know whether to touch it or not...

Chapter 5 Welcome, Mr. Store Manager

Although Lan Meng was very interested in the wings behind Jiutiao Shaluo, his experience of being caught forcibly touching the cat told him that it was better not to touch this thing.

As for Jiujo Shaluo who is leading the way, although she can feel the strange sight behind her, she doesn't pay much attention to it. After all, as the leader of Inazuma Castle, she has long been used to it, especially after General Raiden promulgated the "eye hunting order". The city residents looked at her with some fear in awe.

Although she always felt that Lan Meng's vision seemed to be different, she didn't think too much about it. After all, in her capacity, if she had to get to the bottom of such trivial matters, she would not be able to live through this day. Rather than wasting time thinking about Lan Meng Why is it strange to look at her eyes? She hopes to use this time to help the General search for the 'God's Eye' hidden among the people.

"This is one of our strongholds in the city. According to the general's order, it is temporarily handed over to you for use. At the same time, to ensure your safety, I will also arrange members of Tianling to protect you nearby. If you Let them know if you need anything."

Jiujo Shaluo pointed to the room in front of him and signaled to Lanmeng that this would be his temporary place to live. At the same time, two members of the Heavenly Leader in uniform stepped out behind him and nodded towards Lanmeng.

Lan Meng would also nod his head to express his understanding, and then he didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, no matter how nice the other party said, it couldn't change the fact that these people's purpose was to monitor themselves rather than to protect themselves, and even Lan Meng, the room assigned to him, was faintly amiss.

It's not that there are traps in the house, but because the location of this house is a bit 'subtle'.

There is no place to cover all around. In theory, it is impossible for anyone who wants to come out of the house to completely cover his figure.

If it is an ordinary person, there is no way to escape, but Lan Meng doesn't care about it at all. Anyway, he only needs a door to escape.

After asking Jiujo Saluo for some ingredients, Blue Dream decisively pushed the door open.

On the other side, Jiutiao Shaluo did not follow Lan Meng into it, but watched Lan Meng's back disappear before his eyes with flickering eyes.

As "the general's most trusted subordinate (self-proclaimed)", even Lan Meng could see what Lei Movie meant, and Jiutiao Shaluo was no exception, but she didn't expect Lan Meng to be so calm.

Is it fearless, or is it too big?

Jiujo Shaluo is not clear, but she will definitely complete the task assigned to her by the General!

After signaling to her two subordinates to 'protect' Lan Meng, she turned and left to report to the general.

As for the members of the Heavenly Leader in the dark?

They will naturally have other channels to get their orders.

It's just that Jiujo Shaluo didn't notice that when Lanmeng entered the house, there was a caravan passing by, and a young man with short black hair glanced at Lanmeng's direction from the corner of his eye, and then quickly looked away. .

'Is that man the 'righteous man who assassinated the general'? '

The other party muttered secretly in his heart, but at this moment a slightly rude voice suddenly came.

"Zheping! Speed ​​up! Today we are going to deliver the goods to the port before dinner!!"

Hearing the caravan steward's words, the young man named Zhe Ping also shuddered all over.

"Yes!"

Although he cared about the man who dared to assassinate the general, as a member of the rebel logistics force, his job was to replenish and manage supplies for the rebel army. Right now, his identity is a traveling merchant, sending his goods with This caravan is jointly transported, and he doesn't want his mission to fail.

But there is no doubt that the existence of a certain man has been noticed by him.

It's just that Zheping didn't know in his dreams that the reason why Lan Meng appeared here aboveboard was that besides the normal residential surveillance, his biggest role was to be a "bait".

Before Lan Meng was sent to the prison, she did not deliberately block the news of Lan Meng. Later, after she decided to let Lan Meng try, she decided to use Lan Meng as a "bait" to see if she could catch the rebels or something else people.

Of course, this is just an idle move. It would be better to have something to gain, and it doesn't matter if there is no gain. After all, what she cares most about now is 'eternity'.

On the other side, Lan Meng didn't know that he just cooked a dish, not only was the "Lord Thunder God" stared at, but also caught the eyes of another local force.

Right now, after he entered the room, he took a stroll around and got a general understanding of the interior decoration, and then decisively used the prop 'Fate Food Gate' he had just obtained on the door of the bedroom.

Although neither the Jiutiao Saluo nor the Thunder God seemed hostile to him for the time being, Lan Meng didn't like the feeling that his safety was being controlled by others anyway.

In any case, let’s run away first, and what to do afterwards depends on the situation.

"click~"

As the door was opened again, Lan Meng's eyes lit up instantly.

Because he found that when he opened the door, there was already another place in front of him.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lan Meng walked in decisively and closed the door.

But what Lan Meng didn't expect was that as he entered it, a new voice sounded in his mind.

"Welcome, Mr. Manager"

"The store system has been activated"

As the system page appeared in view, Lan Meng found that the box with an ellipsis had now become a 'shop system'.

This store system maintains a simple style like other subsystems.

A Q-version room picture appeared in the system, with various Q-version furniture in it. After experimenting, Lanmeng found that the store layout could be completed here, and furniture with special effects could be purchased at the same time.

It's a pity that Lan Meng is penniless at this time, and the effect of the furniture can only be tested later.

After briefly checking the system, Lan Meng turned his attention to the exploration of the house.

Different from before, even though the Kujo Sharo said that the house can be used by him, but in Lan Meng's view, no matter how good the house is, it can't change its "cage" nature. He doesn't like to be imprisoned and trained by girls.

But the house in front of him belonged to him. When he first completed the task, it was clearly written in the brief introduction of the Gate of Destiny Food.

'The shop that belonged to him'

The store is very simple divided into two floors.

The first floor is the office area, or the dining room, while the second floor is the living area. Although his own room is not too big, it still surprises Lan Meng very much.

After all, this was the first time he had his own room!

When he was young, he lived in Datongpu with his friends, in the dormitory when he was in school, and lived with a group of brothers when he was training. Now he finally has his own private space! !

Compared with the living area on the second floor, the restaurant on the first floor is undoubtedly the main body.

There are six tables in the main body of the restaurant of about [-] square meters, including a large round table, three rectangular tables, and two booths that can be used by two people. The arrangement is not too crowded.

In addition to that is the cash register at the door.

The decoration in the restaurant is relatively simple, but because of the sunlight coming in through the windows, it gives people a sense of warmth.

and many more? !

Sunlight! !

According to Lanmeng's impression, Daozuma City is in the evening, so there shouldn't be such a scorching sun, right?

He almost instinctively grabbed the doorknob and tried to open the door of the restaurant, but a scene that surprised him appeared.

"Accessible to the destination --- uninhabited alley, star stronghold, Inazuma Castle"

"!!!"

Chapter 6 Memories of Time

Looking at the three destinations that could be chosen in front of him, Lan Meng was taken aback for a moment.

It goes without saying that Inazuma City is the destination of his previous "task". As for the Star Stronghold, it is the place where he learned cooking earlier, so where is the unmanned alley?

With doubts, Lan Meng pushed open the door of the office, and then a scene that surprised him even more appeared, he appeared in a somewhat dilapidated alley.

This alley is a little old, but Lan Meng is very familiar with it, because he has walked this road for 22 years.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lan Meng pushed open the door and walked into the alley.

It wasn't until the sun was setting that Lanmeng returned to the shop that belonged to him again. At this time, his expression was a little complicated.

Unsurprisingly, he came to the orphanage where he was raised through the alley, where he met the dean's grandmother who had been raising him and some of his "brothers and sisters" who had not yet gone to school.

The dean's grandma seemed very angry about his appearance, she slapped him on the back mercilessly, then hugged him and whispered, "Just come back, just come back".

Lan Meng didn't resist at all, but after communicating with the other party, Lan Meng probably knew what happened.

To put it simply, after he "disappeared" more than half a year ago, the other party called the police to try to find him, but they did not find any clues.

The corner of Lan Meng's mouth twitched. I don't know how to explain it. After all, half a year ago, I was planning to go back to the orphanage to visit everyone, but on the way back, I came across that strange door and used it to complete my first "travel". .

He didn't know what that door was before, but based on his experience just now, isn't the one he passed through the 'Gate of Destiny'?

Lan Meng, who never expected that he would time travel, naturally had no chance to say hello to the other party.

However, it is not easy for Lan Meng to explain this kind of thing to the other party. It is not that he does not trust the other party, but he is afraid of causing trouble to the other party. In the end, Lan Meng told the other party that he is now working abroad as a chef in a big restaurant.

Although the other party complained a few words about this, "It's hard to graduate from college and become a chef", but when Lan Meng said that his salary is very high, the other party smiled happily.

Obviously, for this old man, the purpose of wanting her children to go to college is very simple, she just hopes that they can have a solid foundation. Now that Lan Meng has found a good job, she is naturally happy for Lan Meng.

After that, Lan Meng personally cooked and prepared a sumptuous dinner for everyone in the orphanage. It was obvious that he could see the worry in the dean's grandmother's eyes, so he planned to dispel the other party's worries in this way.

Naturally, the ingredients of the orphanage are not expensive, but some vegetables such as cabbage, green vegetables, and Chinese cabbage plus some ordinary meat.

But a dinner served by Lan Meng made the children in the orphanage very happy.

Looking at the bright smiles of these 'brothers and sisters' after eating, Lan Meng's originally nervous mood also relaxed a lot.

Amidst the old man's advice to "work hard, come back when you have time, and don't waste money if you are too busy", Lan Meng left here again with moist eyes.

Although he often felt lost when he was ridiculed by his classmates for 'no parents' when he was young, it is no longer a big deal to him now.
