Chapter 469: Chapter 329: Second Emperor of Qin
At that moment, the restaurant suddenly fell into a very eerie silence.
Betty’s eyes were wide open as she stared at Hu Hai, completely baffled as to why this new patron would dare to so flagrantly touch Hastur’s thigh. That was Lord Hastur, a supreme existence, even mightier than Lady Lafra and Lord Stan. At this moment, Betty especially wanted to say to Hu Hai, "In terms of seeking death, I, Betty, acknowledge you as the strongest."
Betty even noticed that the busy sounds from the kitchen where Chen Ze was working had stopped. Apparently, the manager had also heard the brave soul’s words. However, Betty was now even more curious about how Lord Hastur would handle this fellow. Would he be crushed into dust, or would he be tortured endlessly?
Chen Ze stood in the kitchen, quickly continuing to work on the braised pork before him. As for that incoming guest, although Chen Ze admired his courage, he was too busy to take the time to see which hero dared to do such a thing.
But...
"His Majesty? This couldn’t have been an emperor who’d just arrived, and obviously not a proper one at that. It’s just that I don’t know which one," Chen Ze silently mused to himself. Chen Ze thought it most likely one of those lecherous emperors, but there were simply too many emperors in Huaxia’s history. Probably those who didn’t study history wouldn’t be able to name them all.
And most people could only name some emperors who were more famous.
"Oh?" Hastur turned his head with a smile, a charm in his glance that made Hu Hai spellbound. He had never seen such a beautiful woman, so open and bold—didn’t he see her thigh exposed?
Hu Hai couldn’t help but want to grasp Hastur’s hand, but Hastur dodged, then looked straight into the other’s eyes. A strange flash of light in his eyes passed by, and the next moment Hu Hai collapsed to the ground, his gaze empty, unresponsive.
"Hey, hey? Lord Hastur, what did you do?" Betty curiously shook Hu Hai, but he had no reaction whatsoever. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
"Don’t worry, he’s just been subjected to my memory reading," Hastur said calmly, then kicked Hu Hai onto the ground, all the while disdainfully dusting off his leg.
"This is an emperor, an emperor of the Qin Dynasty, called what’s his name, Hu Hai, recently ascended to the throne, very indulgent," Hastur quickly went through Hu Hai’s memories, then picked up his chopsticks and started to slowly eat his meal.
Chen Ze continued to serve a variety of dishes, each one reaching a level of exquisite beauty, and some even achieving a perfect rating. This made Hastur very satisfied; the food Chen Ze made was getting more and more delicious.
When Chen Ze heard the name Hu Hai, he raised his eyebrows. Although Chen Ze wasn’t a history scholar, he was still aware of the infamous Second Emperor of Qin—inept and tyrannical, and then overthrown by Liu Bang and Xiang Yu.
"But if it’s the Second Emperor of Qin, I feel like this is also in keeping with his character?" Chen Ze said as he began to descale and gut a fish. He was preparing a sour cabbage fish, which was also on the menu.
"So..." Betty looked at Hu Hai with indecision. She didn’t know how to deal with this patron at the moment.
Technically speaking, Hu Hai had molested Hastur. Although there was a huge gap in power between the two, it was still an act of harassment. However, since Chen Ze hadn’t given any instructions, Betty was somewhat lost.
"Hastur, what do you think should be done?" Chen Ze asked as he brought out the braised chicken in brown sauce, looking at Hastur.
"I really don’t mind either way. But still find it pretty disgusting, just throw him out," Hastur said with a look of disdain for the still prostrate Hu Hai, waving his hand dismissively.
"Alright," Chen Ze nodded, then planned to use the Magic Circle to toss Hu Hai out.
However, before Chen Ze could carry out the action, he was interrupted by Hastur. Chen Ze couldn’t help but glance at Hastur, wondering why this guy was so fickle.
"Wait a minute, I’ve got a new idea," Hastur, rubbing his hands excitedly, suddenly remembered the simulation development game he was playing. He’d progressed from idol development to simulating a city, but now, wasn’t there an advanced option for Emperor development right in front of him?
"Fine," after hearing Hastur’s idea, Chen Ze thought it wasn’t too bad either. Given that Hu Hai’s starting point was pretty much Hell mode, and furthermore, since Hu Hai was a guest from another world, Chen Ze was also happy to see it happen.
With a mischievous grin, Hastur pressed down on Hu Hai’s head. He needed to change some of Hu Hai’s thoughts and plant his own ideas into Hu Hai’s mind. When reading memories, Hastur also realized just how incompetent and immoral this guy was, surrounded by corrupt officials. However, that was quite good, as it meant Hastur could challenge himself.
Chen Ze didn’t concern himself with Hastur’s Emperor development simulation game, as he was busy making WenSi Tofu. This was another item on the menu that required high precision in knife skills, so Chen Ze intended to make it while his concentration was still focused.
After a while, Hastur clapped his hands contentedly; he had successfully altered Hu Hai’s memories. Next, all he needed to do was send Hu Hai back, and then... the fun would begin.
"Off you go~" Hastur opened the door and tossed the still unconscious Hu Hai out.
"Hastur, what did you do?" Chen Ze brought out the WenSi Tofu and asked curiously.
"Me? I..." Hastur, looking very pleased with himself, slowly shared what he had done with Chen Ze, while continuing to eat, as he was quite hungry.
Meanwhile, Hu Hai woke up from the bed, opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was the ceiling of his imperial chamber, along with the anxious imperial physicians and consorts.
"What happened to me?" Hu Hai rubbed his head, feeling a throbbing pain.
"Your Majesty, you disappeared for a while and were later found collapsed on the floor of your bedchamber," Zhao Gao immediately came over, feigning concern.
"Zhao Gao..." Hu Hai was taken aback for a moment. Suddenly, he remembered that he hadn’t passed out, but had been reborn!
"Huh? Are you saying you spiced up the history after the Second Emperor of Qin and filled his memory with it?" Chen Ze was stunned. What was Hastur up to? freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
Chen Ze thought Hastur would just play around with Emperor development at most, but Hastur went ahead and took control of the advanced gameplay, starting an Emperor rebirth development.
"Yes, and to prevent this scion from making the same mistakes, I’ve considerably increased his IQ and fed him a bunch of ruler’s strategies," Hastur said, taking a sip of his soup and letting out a satisfied sigh.
Chen Ze’s mouth twitched. It looked like the Qin Dynasty of that world was about to face a whole new transformation...
