My Restaurant's Guests are All Abnormal

Chapter 78: Chapter Seventy-Eight: Hastur, look how big and round this pot is...

"This curry pork chop rice isn’t bad," Hastur said, sitting on the chair and stroking his stomach; this posture made the corners of Chen Ze’s mouth twitch uncontrollably.

The posture was very familiar, a spitting image of the "Ge You slump," except this was the anime version.

"If you read someone’s memories every time you come here, would it have any effect on you?" Chen Ze was a bit curious. If Hastur relived a life each time he read memories, then over time, would Hastur become more and more like an ordinary Earthling?

If that was really the case, then Chen Ze thought it would be rather good. After all, Hastur couldn’t go directly to Earth and could only stay in his restaurant, which would help lessen the burden on Lafra and the others.

"No, to me, your memories are like a movie, and I’m just a viewer," Hastur shook his head and then picked up the Paluda to slowly take a sip.

Watching Hastur with an expression of enjoyment, Chen Ze always felt that the personality of this Ancient Ruler was somewhat different from what he understood? Of course, an ordinary mortal couldn’t accurately know the personality of an Ancient Ruler.

"However, you don’t need to worry; your world is rejecting me, so I probably won’t be able to read memories anymore," Hastur shook his head. Of course, he had thought about taking a turn in Chen Ze’s world, especially since he had found quite a few interesting things from the memories of two people.

"Here is the payment for this meal." Hastur pulled out two mushrooms from his belly and placed them on the table.

Chen Ze recognized at a glance that these were Moonlight Mushrooms, the same ones Riesel had given him before. Chen Ze happily accepted them; with these two items, he could start thinking about earning more money.

Chen Ze still remembered the two million he had earned before, which hadn’t even had time to warm up before the System absorbed it, although the progress was as high as 2/100000. But Chen Ze really wanted to fill up that progress bar.

Chen Ze was curious about what would happen if his System fully upgraded. But with only two in two million, Chen Ze was worried whether he could fill up this progress bar in his lifetime.

Regardless, Chen Ze had found a goal for himself, which was to fill up the System’s progress bar.

"I will come again next time," Hastur had finished eating, but it seemed like he didn’t want another serving.

"By the way, do you have a TV where I can watch anime?" Hastur turned to look at Chen Ze. He knew about things called television and computers from reading memories.

Hastur found himself quite interested in these two things from what he had learned in the memories.

After all, one needed to find some joy for oneself in that boring world, or else he would just consider tempting a few mortals for fun.

"Yes, but it requires a trade with other ingredients," Chen Ze nodded. He could just give Hastur a laptop, download a few single-player games for him; Chen Ze was not worried at all that Hastur had a way to connect to the Internet in the Otherworld.

"Good, I remember computers and televisions are quite expensive. I will bring enough ingredients next time," Hastur said as he left.

Chen Ze turned around to see Betty cleaning up Hastur’s tableware.

"Betty, you can go home after you finish cleaning up," Chen Ze looked at his phone; it was almost 11:20.

"Manager~" Betty looked at Chen Ze with pitiful, big eyes, blinking one after another.

"Stop right there, no matter what you do, I’m not going to buy you a computer or TV," Chen Ze instantly guessed what Betty was up to. This little rascal of a Succubus only behaved this way when she was asking for something or plotting a prank.

"Tch, boring man," Betty snorted and then sashayed away to wash the dishes.

Chen Ze took a deep breath. This damn Succubus had even picked up his manner of speaking. He began to think whether he should deduct her wages next time.

Now, Chen Ze also understood why his fragile 4G signal remained strong when Betty was around. Hastur had mentioned that Betty was protected too.

Chen Ze guessed it was because he had given Betty a salary, and then the restaurant considered Betty as an employee, so it didn’t cut off the internet. But this was good; at least Chen Ze could check recipes in the kitchen.

[Life is tough, suddenly collapse: Brother, it’s almost winter vacation, do you have any plans?]

Chen Ze glanced at his phone. This message had come during Hastur’s visit. He calculated the time and indeed his sister should be starting her exams around now. freewebnσvel.cøm

[Great Writer: I still have to run the restaurant. Dad and Mom have gone to Europe for a trip, right? Looks like it will just be us for the New Year’s Eve dinner this year.]

Chen Ze sat on the chair, swinging his legs. Having New Year’s Eve dinner with his sister wasn’t a bad idea; it was better than being alone and ordering takeout.

"Another new year, huh," Chen Ze leaned on his chin, daydreaming while looking at his little restaurant.

After inheriting the restaurant, Chen Ze’s life had changed a lot. With something like a System, meeting all sorts of customers from the Otherworld, it was much better than having to work overtime for a greedy boss just to earn some extra money during the New Year.

[Life is tough, suddenly collapse: Brother, I want to go to Japan for the winter vacation, will you come?]

Chen Ze frowned at his phone. Go to Japan? He did fancy a break too, but what about his restaurant? Could something go wrong if it was closed for so long?

[Great Writer: No, if you want to go, I’ll give you the money. Then you can help me check out some of the Japanese Cuisine methods and send them to me.]

Since he’d unlocked Japanese Cuisine, Chen Ze naturally wanted to learn more dishes and see what attributes he would gain later.

After some haggling with Chen Xingchen, Chen Ze managed to get no less than ten Japanese Cuisine recipes and several figurines that he had wanted to buy for some time in exchange for covering all his sister’s expenses for the trip to Japan.

Chen Ze, of course, wouldn’t admit that the figurines were the main attraction; after all, he could find plenty of recipes on Baidu as well.

"Manager, can I head back first?" Betty, who had appeared beside Chen Ze at some point, made him nearly bump into her face as he turned his head.

Looking into Betty’s eyes, Chen Ze realized that her pupils were purple, and they looked beautiful.

"You.. Why are you staring at me.." Under Chen Ze’s gaze, Betty’s face instantly turned red.

"...It’s nothing... you can go back first," Chen Ze shook his head. He must not have been thinking clearly just now to find a piece of steel beautiful; it had to be Hastur’s influence!
