Chapter 473: Chapter 333 Chen Ze: Quick, let me open the Copy Eye!
"You’re here again..." Chen Ze couldn’t help but cover his face, speechless. Although he knew Shiratori Nozomi was a woman who loved to ’drive,’ he hadn’t expected she could ’drive’ so persistently and frequently in such a short span of time. It was terrifying.
"Don’t be so surprised, bro. Just check out my Infinite Flask first~ I think you’ll still be quite satisfied with it." Shiratori Nozomi smiled flirtatiously.
"Alright then." Chen Ze shook his head but still took the Infinite Flask and poured out a cup of liquid.
The liquid was a light blue-gray color, looking quite strange. Rather than calling it water, it would probably be more convincing to say it was a kind of beverage.
"Are you sure this stuff is drinkable?" Chen Ze eyed Shiratori Nozomi skeptically, as the substance didn’t look much like regular water.
"Definitely, those who have drunk it say that besides a metallic taste, the water’s flavor is actually pretty good," Shiratori Nozomi shrugged, her face calm.
"Then I’ll give it a try." Chen Ze checked it with a Magic Circle and indeed found no problem, so he confidently took a sip.
The taste was quite bland. From any perspective, it could only be described as the taste of water, without any strange flavors.
However, it was slightly different from ordinary water. The drink felt softer as it hit the mouth, and Chen Ze could sense a faint taste of metal.
"Bro, are you satisfied?" Shiratori Nozomi asked teasingly, licking her lips.
"Not bad, it might even be useful for researching cuisine." Chen Ze nodded. The greatest advantage of this flask was encapsulated in the two words: ’infinite.’
"Then I’ll come to visit again next time~ I might trouble you to help me solve a problem then~" Shiratori Nozomi said with a mischievous smile.
"What problem?" Chen Ze was puzzled. His place was just a regular restaurant, wasn’t it? What kind of problem could he help customers with?
It’s not like he was running some sort of magical office; Chen Ze’s place was just an ordinary restaurant, after all.
"Oh my~ Can’t it be a physiological problem~" Shiratori Nozomi hinted suggestively, while Chen Ze remained expressionless as if he hadn’t heard a word.
"Well, actually, it’s about a troublesome guy, anyone who sees his face will die. Although it’s possible to stop him, more often than not, the only option is to kill him. But the problem is, after he dies, he randomly resurrects. So, I wanted to come here and see," Shiratori Nozomi spread her hands helplessly, dealing with SCP-096 really was quite a hassle.
"I see... I can agree to try to help, but I’m not sure I’ll be able to." Chen Ze didn’t talk in absolutes; if he revealed that he knew about the containment object characteristics, he wasn’t sure what the SCP Foundation might do.
"Then please take care of it~ Manager bro, I’ll give you a very nice reward when the time comes." Leaving those words behind, Shiratori Nozomi left, her hips swaying as she walked, making Chen Ze suspect she was trying to entice him.
"Manager, were you by any chance watching Miss Shiratori Nozomi’s butt?" Betty asked with a suspicious expression, feeling that Chen Ze’s gaze just then was a bit off.
"Not at all, you’re thinking too much," Chen Ze rolled his eyes and went back to the kitchen; he had to continue researching the proper way to eat Void Ginseng.
"Ah ha, Manager! I’ve come as promised and have brought a chef with me!" The door swung open, and in walked Greenwich, followed by a cat, or rather, a cat wearing a chef’s hat. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
"Is this the place you were talking about, Mr. Greenwich, meow?" Chef Cat stood upright, wobbled into the room, and looked around.
"Yeah, Ailu, I got the information about the Black Eclipse Dragon from this place." Greenwich laughed heartily, feeling a bit embarrassed for not bringing Chef Cat here before.
"Mr. Greenwich, what will we have today? And who is this?" Chen Ze smiled excitedly at the cat wearing a chef’s hat beside Greenwich.
This was a chef capable of making cuisine that boosted attributes, and its taste should be pretty good. The key was the ability to enhance attributes, such as life values, stamina, and attack power, along with various other stats.
However, Chen Ze was more concerned about stamina. In Monster Hunter, stamina could only be used for running and rolling, but in reality... fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Chen Ze flashed a smile that all men would understand.
"Meow! Honored scholar, I am Chef Cat Ailu, meow! Please teach me a lot, meow!" Ailu introduced itself to Chen Ze with earnest seriousness.
Chen Ze’s smile twitched. What the hell was this ’scholar’ title?
"Hey, hey, hey, what kind of identity have you pinned on me?" Chen Ze asked Greenwich quietly.
"Scholar, after all, isn’t it? You’re familiar with monster ecology, but physically weak, so the title of scholar is quite respected," Greenwich said nonchalantly, without any qualms about having deceived the Dragon History Academy.
"Fine then," Chen Ze responded, somewhat speechlessly, but he accepted the explanation.
"Eh? Does the honored scholar sir want to learn our cooking, meow?" Ailu looked completely bewildered, having not expected Chen Ze to be interested in cooking.
"Yes, can you teach me? I want to learn how to make those dishes with all kinds of magical effects." Chen Ze nodded. After all, he was a chef himself; if he wasn’t going to learn cooking, was he supposed to learn how to perform a triple-powered tail-cutting move?
"Okay, meow! It’s not like it’s confidential information, meow. But usually, only when we make it does it have those effects, meow." Ailu nodded decisively and then led Chen Ze into the kitchen.
"I’m fine; go ahead with your work, haha." Greenwich waved his hand indifferently and continued sorting through the items in his hands.
Chen Ze glanced over; it seemed to be a monster, probably someone who came to inquire about monster ecology.
Once he understood the general situation, Chen Ze relaxed considerably, then endured the debate about whether Tokyo was really hot or not, as he patiently watched Ailu cook.
"These are ingredients from our world, meow!" Ailu took out some ingredients from the bag it was carrying and placed them on the table, then began to cook with nimble and efficient movements.
Chen Ze suddenly felt silly for not realizing that the Monster Hunter’s Chef Cat used unique ingredients from their world.
Nonetheless, Chen Ze watched Ailu’s entire cooking process intently. He had to admit that Ailu’s cooking techniques were quite skilled, similar to his own but a bit more refined. Chen Ze thought that, given the ingredients, he should be able to replicate it.
