My Restaurant's Guests are All Abnormal

Chapter 486: Chapter 346 The Joker’s Return

Li Hao finished his meal, He ate quickly, possibly because he was quite hungry, so he always felt insatiable, but Li Hao was no stranger to hunger. He knew he should not eat too much now. Eating too much is never good.

Li Hao licked his lips. He intentionally left some tomato and egg soup behind, just to avoid drawing the waiter’s attention too soon. Most restaurants will considerately come over to ask if you want to add more dishes once they see your plate is empty.

But Li Hao didn’t need to add anything. What he needed now was to plan his escape route and figure out how to leave the restaurant quickly.

"Huff..." Li Hao took a few deep breaths. He knew that vigorous exercise wasn’t advisable after eating because it could upset the stomach, but he had no choice right now. If he didn’t want to be taken away to...

Li Hao glanced at the three creatures that were still eating. In an ordinary restaurant, getting caught might mean a trip to the detention center, but with these unknown species, he had no idea what kind of punishment he might face. Maybe death?

Li Hao took out his phone and set an alarm. Then, as the alarm went off, he acted as though he was answering a call and stood up.

"Hey, hey, General Wang, hello hello..." Li Hao intentionally spoke loudly.

Li Hao noticed that the three customers paid him no mind, but the waiter gave him a strange look. However, there were no further actions. Li Hao felt he was one step closer to success.

"General Wang, about that deal... I think it’s good, great, a few million up or down in a minute is no problem... What? It’s too noisy here? Okay, I’ll go outside..." Li Hao had a good idea. He sneakily moved closer to the door and even nodded apologetically at Betty.

But suddenly, a deathly silence fell over the restaurant. Li Hao turned his head to find that the three odd customers were staring at him. They didn’t speak, but their vertical pupils looked as eerie as ever.

Li Hao swallowed, shaking a little. For some reason, he felt a terrifying atmosphere in the restaurant, one that made it hard to breathe.

"...Sorry, I need to take a call outside..." Li Hao managed a forced smile, but before he could open the door, it was pushed open from the outside. A man with green hair and a purple suit walked in. His face was painted with a ghastly white makeup, unnatural scars at the corners of his mouth, and bright red lipstick that looked like a smile.

"The... The Joker?!" Li Hao stepped back, his fear landing him on the floor, trembling uncontrollably.

"Oh? You know me?" The Joker leaned in, looking at Li Hao with his signature maniacal grin.

"You... no.. I don’t know you, sorry... I mistook you for someone else." Li Hao quickly shook his head. This was the Joker, after all. If the Joker fixated on him, Li Hao thought he would meet a very gruesome end. Even though Huaxia refused entry to people with a Gotham citizenship.

"Hehehe~ Why so serious?" The Joker still wore that alarming smile, sending shivers down one’s spine.

"Guest, please don’t scare the other customers." Chen Ze stepped forward. He had noticed the Joker earlier and, seeing Li Hao’s reaction, worried that he might wet his pants, which would be quite a hassle.

"Oh, oh~ Sorry, mysterious manager, so can I do his makeup? Like mine, so splendid!" The Joker laughed wildly, pulling out a small knife and waving it around.

"That won’t do, guest. This is a restaurant, not a tattoo parlour, nor a cosmetic surgery clinic." Chen Ze shook his head, refusing Joker’s request. freewёbnoνel.com

"Hehe, such a cruel place, not even allowing a smile~" The Joker laughed as he went over and sat opposite Dragone and the others.

The Joker took another look at Li Hao, eyeing his phone screen, laughing crazily.

Then, the next second, a purple ring of light suddenly appeared, encircling the Joker. The Joker’s laughter vanished.

Chen Ze’s mouth twitched. Did that clown’s laugh have some sort of psychic attack?

Li Hao hurriedly ran out. He had decided that this restaurant was a very horrific and abnormal one, even a super-villain like the clown was coming in.

"Hahahaha~ Manager, did you know that this guy was planning to dine and dash?" The clown laughed maniacally. He had noticed it just now but hadn’t pointed it out.

"I just realized it too." Chen Ze was somewhat speechless; this customer’s behavior was indeed not quite normal.

But Chen Ze hadn’t expected a man dressed so decently to dine and dash; it seemed he had made the mistake of relying too much on experience.

"So, what would you like to have?" Chen Ze shook his head, not bothered by Li Hao’s attempt to dine and dash.

In fact, Chen Ze was always curious why his restaurant allowed customers to dine and dash but didn’t allow them to take away items from the restaurant.

Lately, Chen Ze had given up thinking about it; after all, it was the System, and asking wouldn’t get an answer.

"Me? I’ll have a roasted bat~" The clown glanced at Dragone and the others but didn’t care.

In Gotham City, there were too many odd and quirky patrons to keep track of, and the clown had no interest in remembering the names of some lesser characters.

"Ah, we don’t have roasted bat here, guest." Chen Ze shook his head. Was the clown a bit paranoid?

Or was the clown’s love for Batman so deep that even dining had to involve bats?

"Then just give me some grilled meat, and a cup of alcohol. Any alcohol will do~ Of course, it would be better if it could get me drunk." The clown smiled, crossed his legs akimbo, and kept looking around.

"Alright, just a moment." Chen Ze nodded. The grilled meat would naturally be an improved version of Argentine grilled meat, and as for the alcohol...

Considering the clown wanted booze that could get him drunk, Lai Mei was actually ruled out.

"So... Sorrow Sake... doesn’t seem quite right, after all, that’s pure alcohol. Elizabeth’s aftereffect is too strong..." Chen Ze stroked his chin. He remembered the various spirits Lafra brought over, maybe he could try crafting a new drink?

"But mixing drinks doesn’t increase my experience points. Maybe I’ll try making a dessert instead." Chen Ze thought this idea was feasible.

There was a dessert that used a type of liquor called Baileys, called chocolate Baileys cake, and Chen Ze had just happened to look up the recipe recently.

"Even though these aren’t Baileys, the effect should be the same, I guess." Chen Ze stretched, then started to mix the drinks.

Chocolate Baileys, if you take out the Baileys, it’s just an ordinary dessert, so Chen Ze had an easy time making it.

[You’ve crafted a perfect Chocolate Dream Cake. Your dessert making experience has increased by 15 points, and your alcohol mixing experience has increased by 15 points.]

"Huh?"
