Chapter 171: Chapter 31: Destiny, Justice, Revenge
"Eh? C language? What’s that?" Betty was completely clueless; she had never heard of such a thing.
"You’ll know when the time comes. Remember to go back and teach Lindsay our language today," Chen Ze didn’t elaborate. How was he supposed to explain it? Even he was a novice, not to mention C++—Chen Ze had even been fooled with ALT+F4 before.
Only the ghosts knew how he felt when he accidentally pressed a supposed secret skill told by someone else during a game and quit the game.
"By the way, Betty, you’ve been playing Sekiro lately, right?" Chen Ze looked at the pot; the Moonlight Bear Meat inside was slowly melting. freēwebnovel.com
This astonished Chen Ze—it was meat, after all, able to melt like this in cooking. If Betty hadn’t mentioned that Moonlight Bear Meat was a very precious ingredient, Chen Ze might have thought he had been swindled because this didn’t look like proper meat at all.
"Yeah, it’s so hard; I keep dying," Betty nodded. She didn’t really want to watch walkthrough videos, even though they would make the game somewhat easier.
"Well, I’ll tell you a little trick. Next time when you’re about to defeat the boss, just press this..." Chen Ze explained seriously to Betty. He felt it wasn’t fair if he was the only one who got tricked.
"Okay, I’ll try it next time," Betty nodded happily. Chen Ze watched her leave, smiling meaningfully.
Chen Ze lifted the lid off the pot to reveal a shiny, gelatinous substance, exuding an enchanting fragrance.
"Is this the Moonlight Bear Meat? I wonder what kind of cake I’d make if I used this as cheese?" Chen Ze was conflicted. In his mind, meat was not something you used in cake. The idea of the final cake was unimaginable, but Betty had said that some chefs used it to make desserts.
In the end, Chen Ze decided to give it a try. To his surprise, the bear gelatin actually worked and didn’t cause any issues like clumping flour or failure to rise.
After a while, Chen Ze placed his special bear gelatin cake into the oven. Whether it was successful or not, it was a trial, and he was curious about the outcome.
Chen Ze glanced at the oven; he had set the timer, so there was no need to stay in the kitchen any longer. He stepped out for a look.
Naruto was sitting on a chair in a very strange posture, while Lafra sat by sipping Coke.
Chen Ze approached and sat opposite Lafra.
"Chen Ze, something big has happened in the positive plane recently," Lafra shifted her stool and sat down beside Chen Ze.
"Wha... What happened?" Chen Ze was a little nervous; Lafra was sitting too close, and he could even smell the fragrance on her, somewhat floral, but Chen Ze didn’t know what flower it was.
"A Heroic Spirit of the Dragon God was killed by an Evil Demon," Lafra said casually, taking a leisurely sip of her cold Coke.
"Dragon God? Heroic Spirits?" Chen Ze felt overwhelmed by the information; all these names were very foreign to him. He didn’t have any idea what they meant.
"Mhm. Even though I can easily kill a Heroic Spirit, doing so in front of the Gods and without any reaction from them, that’s the real issue," Lafra said with schadenfreude. She was glad her term had ended; Stan would be the chairman for the next thousand years.
Lately, Stan was so busy he almost wished he could use the Shadow Clone Technique to help with his work. One moment he’d be dealing with trivial matters in the negative plane, the next he’d need to coordinate relations with the positive plane.
Now the Dark God had issued a divine edict, demanding a thorough investigation into Evil Demons and unbelievers.
Chen Ze stroked his chin, feeling that the only person who had the strength to kick someone else’s dog and still keep the owner silent was probably Hastur.
"Could it have been Hastur who did it?" Chen Ze was a bit doubtful.
"No, Hastur has been busy with his Wind Moon Band these days, and it seems he’s filming... filming a movie? That’s what he said," Lafra shook her head. In fact, after the Heroic Spirits died, everyone on the continent with that power was investigated, but nothing came of it.
"Lafra, does this affect you?" Chen Ze looked at Lafra worriedly. After all, Lafra was also a powerful being, not to mention that she was his girlfriend, and Chen Ze himself was an unbeliever, though in truth, the gods of other worlds couldn’t reach him either.
"Hehe~ Are you worried about me~" Lafra looked at Chen Ze with a happy smile.
"Yeah, after all, you’re my girlfriend. If there’s any problem, I’d be very troubled," Chen Ze’s face turned red, but he nodded his head.
"Justice, is this the place you told me about?" a strange voice spoke, and then Chen Ze saw the old Knight he had once met and another man wearing a mask walk in.
"Manager, long time no see." Flemea followed behind Reinhardt, smiling at Chen Ze.
"Vengeance, you know this place too?" the masked man looked at Flemea in surprise. He could not believe that both of his companions knew about this small restaurant.
"Flemea! Reinhardt, long time no see." Chen Ze was delighted to see Flemea. He had thought that their previous meeting was a final farewell, never expecting Flemea to have survived.
"Evil Demon?" Lafra frowned, as she had not just finished telling the whole story.
"Eh?" Chen Ze was a bit confused.
"Lafra? This is getting interesting. Are you going to fight for your master?" The man with the mask approached, twirling a strange flower between his fingers.
Chen Ze’s face turned dark in an instant; this was his restaurant, and Lafra was his girlfriend!
"You’re not welcome here, guest." Chen Ze activated a Magic Circle, and the next moment, a flash of bright light blazed, and the man with the mask vanished into thin air. freewebnσvel.cøm
"Hahahaha, I always knew Destiny’s big mouth would get him into trouble sooner or later," Flemea laughed heartily, slapping the table.
"Manager, two set meals for me and Flemea, please." Reinhardt looked helplessly at his companion; Destiny had been thrown out, yet he could still laugh so joyfully.
"Sure thing, Reinhardt. Want some alcohol?" Chen Ze recalled the oolong tea he had in the fridge.
"Oh, right, I forgot you’re a Knight, one who doesn’t drink," Chen Ze shook his head.
"I’ll have a cup, I’m not just any Knight now," Reinhardt said with a smile as he sat down.
"Madam, please forgive him, Destiny is just like that," Reinhardt looked apologetically at Lafra, an enemy from the past who once made him feel despair but was no longer so fearsome.
Lafra’s mood instantly brightened.
