Chapter 609: Chapter Four Hundred and Sixty-Nine: People’s Physical Constitutions Cannot Be Generalized
However, Chen Ze also had some doubts; after all, he still hadn’t fully figured out his vexing restaurant. Perhaps he would be able to completely master this magical restaurant only after the System’s upgrade progress reached one hundred percent?
So there was a question now, was this Director Zhou the one known as the singer, or was he from one of the movie worlds in which he had appeared?
Director Zhou had indeed acted in quite a few movies, whether produced by himself or by invitations, but Chen Ze had only watched "Initial D". He hadn’t seen the others, so for a while, he really couldn’t be sure of Director Zhou’s identity.
But Chen Ze had his own methods, it was just that they were a bit troublesome.
The portion of oyster omelette wasn’t large, so it didn’t take long for Director Zhou to finish eating. Then, wiping his mouth, he turned to look at Chen Ze.
However, Director Zhou was startled as soon as he looked at Chen Ze, because Chen Ze was very close to him, almost giving the impression he had been standing by, waiting for him to finish eating.
"Um, do you need something?" Director Zhou asked blankly while wiping his mouth.
"Hello, Guest, may I ask your name?" Chen Ze knew it was especially strange to directly ask someone’s name, but at the moment, he didn’t have a better way, and perhaps due to facing his idol, he felt his heartbeat racing very fast.
"Ah, my name is Jay Chou." Director Zhou gave his name.
"Okay, Guest, then you can pay for your meal with an autograph and a photo together, what do you think?" Chen Ze looked at Director Zhou with a smile. It really was that world’s Director Zhou, but it seemed he had not yet become famous. freewebnσvel.cѳm
"Eh?" Director Zhou looked at Chen Ze with surprise. Although he really wanted to be a singer, he had not yet caught anyone’s interest, and the songs he had written before had all been politely rejected, which left him feeling a bit downhearted.
But unexpectedly, upon entering a random restaurant, someone actually wanted his autograph and a photo together.
Even though it was strange, Director Zhou still agreed to Chen Ze’s request. After all, it was the first time he had tasted such a delicious oyster omelette, and only after eating did he realize, could the price of such a delicious oyster omelette be very expensive?
But since Chen Ze had proposed paying with an autograph and photo together, Director Zhou naturally didn’t mind. However, during the photo, he realized that the camera Chen Ze was holding was a bit odd.
After seeing off Director Zhou, who was still on his journey seeking his path, Chen Ze contentedly saved the photo and also preserved the paper signed by Director Zhou. This was an autographed photo of the young Director Zhou, which Chen Ze thought might be the only one of its kind in the world.
"The store manager is indeed a rare sight," Moriarty commented with a smile, sipping his tea.
"Yes, it was the look of a fan meeting his idol," Holmes agreed, nodding his head. He had learned some new vocabulary from Conan and the others.
"Of course, that’s my youth idol, haha," Chen Ze laughed heartily. Just with this autograph, he felt that attending that evening party wouldn’t be so hard to accept.
"When will this Ronna you spoke of arrive?" Holmes turned to his adversary. But now, Professor Moriarty’s business in London had scaled back, and it appeared he really did focus all his attention on the restaurant.
"In a while, Ronna comes around noon every day," Moriarty glanced at the clock hanging in the middle of the restaurant. He had grown accustomed to following the restaurant’s time.
"Hmm," Holmes nodded, having found himself a bit intrigued by such matters ever since he last saw Ronna.
It’s not to say Holmes had any peculiar hobbies, rather he was more interested in trying to change history.
Chen Ze, observing his two arch-enemies drinking tea, shook his head. These two, despite being bitter rivals, were now peacefully enjoying tea together. Did his presence bring some changes to their world?
However, there shouldn’t be any problems. Even though Jack the Ripper had appeared, it’s unlikely that any other characters would come to be, and extraordinary powers probably didn’t exist.
Chen Ze remembered a console game he once played, which seemed to feature a very unique version of Holmes. The puzzle game had transformed into a stealth combat game, which made Chen Ze wonder if the developers had some misconceptions about Holmes.
Chen Ze returned to the kitchen, satisfied. He still needed to preserve these items quickly. As for the photo with Director Zhou, Chen Ze planned to buy a printer and turn it into a picture to hang on the second floor as part of his collection.
"Boss!" Chen Ze turned around to see Betty, her face full of confusion. What’s up with her now? freewebnoveℓ.com
"Well, I was wondering... can you get oilfish?" Betty asked hesitantly, glancing at Chen Ze.
The corner of Chen Ze’s mouth twitched.
"Haven’t I told you before? Oilfish is a very troublesome thing. Although it tastes okay, most people who eat it end up regretting it. So you might as well not struggle," Chen Ze rolled his eyes. Was Betty really looking to experience what it feels like to have... oily stools?
"No, it’s just that... I just thought, since I’m a Succubus, maybe I could handle it?" Betty licked her lips.
"..." Suddenly, Chen Ze felt like Betty might have a point. After all, humans struggle with oilfish because they can’t digest its fats, but a Succubus might not necessarily have that issue.
"Alright, I’ll allow it, but you’ll eat it back at your place. I don’t want to clean up the mess in the restaurant," Chen Ze rolled his eyes again. It seemed he’d have to order some oilfish online later.
"Hehe, thank you, boss~" Betty scampered out, her bowl washing duties completed.
Chen Ze shook his head, then took out the ingredients needed for pizza. Although Ronna hadn’t arrived yet, he felt it was almost certain she would come, so perhaps it wouldn’t hurt to prepare in advance?
"Boss, what’s on the menu today?" Before he even picked up the pizza, the door pushed open and a very familiar voice came in.
"Welcome to the Dream Restaurant, Mr. Momonga~" Betty’s voice revealed to Chen Ze the identity of their new guest.
"Hello there... Yarbei... Betty," Mr. Momonga said, looking at the grinning Betty and feeling somewhat out of place – after all, this Succubus wasn’t as well-developed as Albedo, standing in stark contrast like an airport runway next to a mountain peak.
"???" Betty looked puzzled.
