Chapter 142

Then it has nothing to do with him.

It's like in the Genshin Impact storyline, where Raiden Shogun allowed Lumine to walk out of the Tenshukaku standing.

She did indeed keep her promise.

But the moment Lumine stepped one step out of the Tenshukaku, what greeted her was the Musou no Hitotachi.

Another half hour passed.

Jean sat on the sofa, still calm and composed.

But Eula and Amber were a bit absent-minded.

On one hand, it was because they had been doing this the whole time without being able to read manga, which was a bit boring.

On the other hand, it was because tonight the Deer Hunter restaurant would be launching its golden fried rice.

If they arrived late, they might not get to eat it.

That would truly be a great pity.

Thinking of this possibility,

the gazes of the two women toward the Abyss Mage not far away turned ill-intentioned.

Fortunately, this period of time didn't last long.

After another while, the Abyss Mage finally finished reading the manga.

"What nostalgia!"

After putting down "Little Chef," its tone carried some complexity.

It once thought that after becoming an Abyssal monster, it would no longer have any desire for food.

Until today, coming here,

it smelled that intoxicating fragrance.

And, after reading this food manga.

The Abyss Mage realized,

that there was actually such tempting food in the world.

At this moment, it felt as if it had regained the feeling of being a human back then.

"If I could taste it in person, I would have no regrets!"

The Abyss Mage sighed with emotion.

But it quickly reacted.

Reading manga comes with a reward!

The boss had said before that the fragrance in the shop came from mapo tofu.

And that mapo tofu came from the manga.

Thinking of this, the Abyss Mage got excited.

It seemed to see food beckoning to it.

"Boss, my reward... you, why are you all here?!"

Just as it was about to ask Han Feng for its reward,

it suddenly saw three familiar people beside the sofa smiling and staring at it.

Its heart suddenly jumped.

Crap!

It had only planned to read the manga for a bit, but ended up completely engrossed.

It didn't even notice that people from the Knights had arrived.

The Abyss Mage's heart was in turmoil, and it instinctively wanted to flee.

But at this moment, it suddenly sensed something strange.

Judging by their appearance, they didn't seem to have just arrived? (acee)

Then why haven't they captured it yet?

Could it be...

Abyss Mages aren't Hilichurls; they possess relatively high intelligence.

So it quickly sensed something was off.

"Could it be because the boss's strength is too great, so these Mondstadt people don't dare to act?"

Thinking of this possibility, the Abyss Mage instantly calmed down.

As long as it stayed here, it would be fine!

After figuring this out, it swaggered past the three people, a hint of contempt in its eyes.

"Damn, this guy is way too arrogant!"

Amber was a bit angry.

Sure enough, it was still the familiar flavor, the familiar way.

"Hmph, making me wait this long, I'm noting this grudge!"

Eula leaned on the sofa, her face also showing displeasure.

"Don't rush, it won't be arrogant for long. Once the boss closes the shop, it'll know to regret it."

Jean said with a smile.

The Abyss Mage, unaware of their thoughts, floated all the way to Han Feng's front.

"Boss, what's my reward?"

Facing Han Feng, it wasn't arrogant at all, but rather very respectful.

GLOSSARY:

【Han Feng, General, Raiden Shogun, Lumine, Tenshukaku, Musou no Hitotachi, Jean, Eula, Amber, Deer Hunter, Abyss Mage, Little Chef, Hilichurl, Knights, Mondstadt】

It's almost on par with that other prince.

Han Feng, seeing this, could only shake his head in silence.

You're acting so arrogant now, but you'll regret it soon enough.

Do you really think you can stay in this shop forever?

But as a shop owner,

the proper reward won't be withheld.

Han Feng looked at the system.

At this moment, the information had refreshed.

【Customer: Abyss Mage, having finished reading "The Little Chef," has earned reward—Mapo Tofu, Shao'an Version】

【Mapo Tofu, Shao'an Version: Mapo Tofu made by Shao'an, with excellent elasticity and superior texture—a pinnacle combination of tofu and meat】

"Shao'an's Mapo Tofu?"

Han Feng was slightly surprised.

Previously, Keli had received a reward made by Liu Mao Xing, but this Abyss Mage received one made by Shao'an.

Although this man doesn't compare to Liu Mao Xing.

Still, the Mapo Tofu he made was decent.

In the manga, that big shot could stack it up to a man's height without it collapsing.

It was a fairly good delicacy.

What puzzled Han Feng slightly was how the Abyss Mage's mask would eat it?

In the game, after removing the mask, it had no face at all.

Hum—

A brilliant light descended from the sky,

and soon after, a delicate plate of Mapo Tofu appeared before the Abyss Mage.

"This is Shao'an's Mapo Tofu."

Han Feng explained.

"So it's his!"

The Abyss Mage knew this man.

He was the one who had challenged Liu Mao Xing at the start of the manga, seeking to seize Ju Xia Lou.

Unfortunately, he lost to Liu Mao Xing in the subsequent duel.

Yet the Abyss Mage was not disappointed.
