Free Web NovelChapter 364: Chapter 224 Monster Hunter
Greenwich looked at Chen Ze with a strange gaze, almost unable to resist the urge to draw his great sword and unleash a triple charged slash just now.
"...Is something the matter?" Greenwich cautiously asked, he had heard that under the pressure of those monsters, some men tend to become rather... unique.
"Ah, no worries, dear guest, please enjoy your meal." Chen Ze shook his head and then returned to his kitchen, he would have to wait until the guest finished eating before he could figure out how to obtain the cat cuisine.
Of course, if Chen Ze knew what Greenwich had just been thinking, he certainly wouldn’t have been in such a good mood.
But Chen Ze didn’t know, so for now, they could still get along peacefully.
The hunter’s appetite was evidently quite enormous—Chen Ze had only sat down in the kitchen for a moment when Greenwich had already finished the beef in sauce and ordered two more servings.
"Haha, say what you will, but your meat is truly delicious, proprietor!" Greenwich picked up his mug of beer and took a big gulp, contentedly wiping the foam from the side of his mouth.
"It’s our restaurant’s specialty, and I also greatly enjoy striving forward on the path of a chef," Chen Ze maintained a composed front, setting up a persona of a studious individual.
"How strange that you don’t wish to become a hunter. But that’s normal too; after all, being a hunter requires talent!" Greenwich took another drink and casually gobbled down a piece of Bill’s beef.
Chen Ze twitched the corner of his mouth, talent? He believed he was quite talented when it came to playing games, able to defeat the Mantis XX and unlock other large monsters.
However, Chen Ze looked at the other party’s physique and understood that this wasn’t a game world, so maybe truly becoming a hunter did require some extra talent.
Eventually, Greenwich consumed four kilograms of Chen Ze’s beef and downed five large mugs of Thunderbrew Lager before he was satisfied.
"Proprietor, let’s settle the bill, how many points?" Greenwich asked with satisfaction, patting his belly.
Although the restaurant’s cuisine didn’t have any special effects, the taste was indeed very good, satisfying Greenwich who often settled for roasted meat.
"I apologize, sir, but our establishment does not accept local currency. You may pay with ingredients or knowledge," Chen Ze replied with a smile, his chance of obtaining the cat cuisine resting on this moment.
If the other party did not agree, or never came back again, then Chen Ze wasn’t sure he would be able to get his hands on that cat cuisine with special effects.
"Hmm? No points, huh... but I didn’t bring any ingredients with me either," Greenwich was a bit troubled, as he had assumed this restaurant functioned like the Cat Café, where one could pay with points from the Dragon History Academy. freёwebnovel.com
"If you have the recipe for cat cuisine, that would be acceptable too," Chen Ze revealed his true purpose.
"Cat cuisine? I don’t know how to make that. You’d have to ask Cat Chef. However, I can give you this, I carry it with me," Greenwich shook his head, then took out a bottle of green liquid from his chest.
"This is Potion G, it can help you recover from minor to severe injuries," Greenwich said, placing the Potion G on the table.
Chen Ze was a bit conflicted, to be honest. In the world of Monster Hunter, only ingredients and cat cuisine were truly appealing to the current Chen Ze, but Potion G and the like, he truly did not need.
After all, with Lafra, Chen Ze could heal his injuries at any time, and for serious illness, he also had SCP-500 at the ready, so he really didn’t need it.
"How about this, guest? I am a chef, and I indeed don’t need these things. If you’re willing, could you perhaps bring a Cat Chef to me next time? I’d like to learn their recipes," Chen Ze still shook his head and refused, as the lure of this item really wasn’t strong.
"Cat Chef? I can try, but I don’t have much confidence in bringing one over, the Dragon History Academy does take these matters seriously," Greenwich hesitated.
"In exchange, I can give you some intelligence about monsters," Chen Ze threw down his trump card.
"Intelligence? You have intelligence on monsters?" Greenwich stood up abruptly, intelligence was crucial indeed, knowing about the monsters in advance could help so many Hunters get injured less. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
"Most of it, yes." Chen Ze nodded, he had gathered quite a bit of information to promote Monster Hunter initially.
"In that case..." Greenwich paced back and forth, then raised his head.
"Do you know of a legendary monster we call the Black Eclipse Dragon? It is said..." Greenwich posed his question.
"Black Eclipse Dragon, Ancient Dragon Species, but can be trapped, and the critical thing about it is its scale powder, which causes other monsters to fight each other, and it also inhibits Hunters’ self-healing abilities." Chen Ze was amused; of course, he knew about the Black Eclipse Dragon.
After all, it was the cover monster of the fourth generation, quite prestigious.
"...Its weakness is the fire element, the head is the weak point; poison and paralysis effects can take hold." Chen Ze briefly explained his intelligence on the Black Eclipse Dragon, and Greenwich noted it all down very seriously.
"Okay... thank you. If this intelligence is accurate, then I am confident that I can bring a Cat Chef and some ingredients to meet you," Greenwich sighed with relief, without this person in front of him, he wouldn’t have known that the Black Eclipse Dragon could turn into another individual.
After seeing Greenwich off, Chen Ze closed the door and locked it.
"Seriously, now I feel like playing Monster Hunter again," Chen Ze yawned and went upstairs.
After casually hunting in a game or two, Chen Ze chose to turn out the lights and go to sleep since tomorrow would be a new day, and most importantly, it might be busy.
"I remember... Soma Yukihira should be finishing his work-study soon, and Conan is likely to visit my restaurant," Chen Ze lay in bed, feeling like he could still smell Lafra’s scent.
"Sleep now, sleep now, tomorrow is going to be busy..." Chen Ze slowly drifted off to sleep.
The next morning, Chen Ze got up especially early; he checked his phone and found it was six o’clock.
After a quick wash, he went down to unlock the door and returned to the kitchen to start some preparation work.
"Yo, up early today as well," Soma Yukihira yawned as he pushed open the door, looking a bit sleepy.
"Of course, doesn’t a restaurant need to start preparations early?" Chen Ze chuckled as he looked at Soma Yukihira, the one who would enhance his culinary skills.
Then, under the guidance of Soma Yukihira, Chen Ze began to make eel rice while diligently correcting his own mistakes.
"Your knife skills have improved a lot," Soma Yukihira sat aside, biting into a Goubuli bun that Chen Ze handed him.
"Hey, this really tastes good!"
