Chapter 800: Hiring

Lies looked at Lu Mian and asked in confusion,

"Can you make decisions for the boss here?"

"Yes, because I am the boss here." Lu Mian pointed at himself with a smile.

The human meat cook Lies was even more puzzled,

"Didn't we arrive in Morora together?"

This was less than an hour ago.

Lu Mian turned his head and pointed his chin at the destroyed bar area,

"I had a duel with the original boss here and won this bar from him."

Lies' eyes suddenly lit up,

"Is he dead? Where is his corpse?"

"Dragged away by the law enforcement team, should be sent to the cemetery for burial." Lu Mian walked to the edge of the hall, picked up a chair that was still in good condition, and placed it next to the bar ruins.

Lies spat out a breath regretfully, listened to Lu Mian's suggestion, walked into the kitchen, and got busy with cooking.

Lu Mian paced to the bar area, looking for the two "steaks" that he and Albus hadn't eaten.

They, along with the plates, were torn into pieces in the violent explosion, scattered among various wrecks, all charred and carbonized.

Lu Mian looked for a while and found that these "steak" meat pieces didn't have that kind of squirming and growing specialty, and after being burned, they lost even the subtle connection between the corpses, as if they had completely died and were no longer part of the "Abscessed Hand."

"These shouldn't need to be recycled..."

"High-temperature flame burning can restrain the self-healing ability of this part of the rotten meat separated, but it is not certain what the impact on the rotten corpse itself is..."

"Also, the rotten meat separated must only possess a certain degree of self-healing ability, otherwise every piece of meat could grow a brand new brother Abscessed Hand, and brother Abscessed Hand wouldn't necessarily have to find his corpse complete..."

Lu Mian pondered for a while, then went to the edge of the hall to pick up a small round table that had been overturned, and placed it next to the chair earlier.

He sat down and waited patiently for Lies to prepare lunch.

As time passed second by second, Lies brought over mixed salad, creamy mashed potatoes, and other foods.

Lu Mian scooped a spoonful of mashed potatoes and put it in his mouth, only feeling the texture was extremely delicate, the taste of starch, the sweetness of cream, and the richness of oil composed a delicious taste that made him unable to stop his mouth.

"Good cooking." Lu Mian raised his left hand and gave a thumbs up.

Lies stood by and smiled honestly,

"I used to own a restaurant."

"Making human meat dishes?" Lu Mian made a provocative joke.

Lies shook his head,

"At that time, I was a normal chef, possessing excellent but still human-level cooking skills."

"Then why did you start eating people?" Lu Mian didn't ask directly when you started believing in evil gods.

He also didn't know who the evil god corresponding to the "Gourmet" pathway was.

Lies' expression gradually became gloomy,

"My wife had a friend who was always instilling the beauty of luxury life into my wife, taking her to meet those so-called upper-class society members, and even instigating my wife to have an affair with others, squandering money, and secretly mortgaging my restaurant."

"After losing the restaurant, that friend no longer associated with my wife. My wife finally woke up, but she was too cowardly and just burned down the restaurant, burning herself to death."

"At this time, a customer who appreciated my cooking very much and often came to our restaurant to dine found me and asked if I wanted revenge. He said he could help me. He said that I, who could master such a high level of cooking skills in a normal human state, should believe in the God of Food, the great 'Devouring Vortex'."

"After that, I obtained the gift and grew up slowly."

"After becoming a real 'Chef,' I found that woman and made her into the most satisfying meal of my life."

"From that day on, I liked eating the meat of those who deserved to die, and also obtained the ability to identify whether they deserved to die."

"Was that woman also a believer in an evil god?" Hearing this, Lu Mian deeply suspected that the first person Lies ate was a gift-receiver of the "Broker" pathway.

Perhaps Lies' restaurant was a link in some transaction.

"Yes." Lies had long obtained relevant information from the flesh and blood of that woman, "She believed in so-called 'Truth,' and she was still very weak when she knew my wife."

As expected... Lu Mian laughed.

The ability to identify whether the target deserves to die is very useful. Wait until catching another Sequence 7 or above of the "Broker" pathway, and hand it over to Ludwig to cook.

After eating this pile of food made by Lies, Lu Mian nodded with satisfaction,

"I am willing to hire you as the chef of this bar. Now let's talk about the treatment and responsibilities."

"Sure." Lies put on a gesture of please speak.

Lu Mian picked up the white napkin, wiped his mouth, and said,

"There is still a lot of wine stored in the wine cellar. You organize the bar later, redo one, and put the wine on it. Afterward, you are responsible for recruiting and managing bartenders, waiters, and restoring contact with suppliers."

"This is the responsibility of a manager." Lies was a person who had opened a restaurant.

Lu Mian smiled,

"Yes, chef and manager.

"The income from the bar's business, excluding costs, all belongs to you."

"What about you?" Lies had never seen such a boss.

Don't want money at all?

Lu Mian stood up, moved his body, and said nonchalantly,

"You are responsible for my three meals, responsible for finding someone to clean my room. If there are special ingredients, you are responsible for helping me make dishes or cocktails that can allow me to obtain corresponding traits. Also, I don't eat human meat."

Lies stared at Lu Mian for a few seconds and said in a deep voice,

"You seem to know the ability of a 'Chef' very well."

Lu Mian looked at the sky where the rain had stopped and walked toward the entrance of the bar, saying with a smile,

"The original boss of this bar was a 'Depriver,' but unfortunately, he was deprived of his life by me and can no longer exchange cooking skills with you."

Also, my godson is an angel of your pathway.

Lies fell silent. It wasn't until Lu Mian was about to walk out of the bar that he looked at his back and made a response,

"I will manage this bar well."

Lu Mian didn't look back, raised his right hand, and waved gently, indicating he knew.

There was still deep accumulated water on the street outside, pedestrians mainly walked on the road steps on both sides, and the sun was bright high up, as if there hadn't been such a heavy rain just now.

Following the subtle connection brought by the contract mark, Lu Mian walked toward the place where the head of the "Abscessed Hand" was suspected to be hidden.

After turning a street, he saw a corpse soaked all over lying quietly under the obelisk carved with books. This was Vijepan, the gloomy rape murderer who was exiled to Morora with Lu Mian and others.

At this time, his hands and feet were broken from the joints, his pants were stripped off, his crotch was bloody and blurred, and the most important items were gone.

His eyes were wide open, freezing pain and despair.

"Yo, did you lose the duel?" Lu Mian laughed silently.

He almost whistled, cheering for the legal duel that happened before but he didn't see.

That must have been very exciting, and whoever died deserved a drink.

"It seems that the collector named Zhu Li is more powerful... She and Vijepan both held ulterior motives, no, open attempts to provoke a duel..." Lu Mian felt that Zhu Li was likely a Beyonder, and this knife skill was not something ordinary people could possess.

As for whether Vijepan was one, he couldn't tell for the time being, even if he was, the Beyonder characteristics should have been taken away.

"That woman is very powerful." A voice suddenly sounded beside Lu Mian.

That was a gentleman who came from the side of the small square.

He wore a top hat, a white shirt, a cashmere sweater, and a woolen formal coat, wearing a bow tie, and holding a walking stick in his hand.

He looked to be just over thirty years old, his face was thin, his blue eyes were gentle, like the kind of upper-class person who had received a very good education.

Of course, in Morora, there are no good people, only bad people and worse people.

"Did you see their fight?" Lu Mian asked casually.

The gentleman answered with a smile,

"They initially wanted to go to the restaurant across the square to borrow revolvers for a duel, but the waiter told them that there were too many people dueling today, and the guns had all been borrowed, leaving only two long swords."

"That woman is very powerful. This man only blocked three swords before being knocked to the ground, his hands and feet cut off, and his pants taken off."

Looking at it this way, Vijepan doesn't look like a Beyonder... Lu Mian withdrew his gaze, turned to the gentleman beside him, and asked with a smile,

"How should I address you?"

The gentleman bowed with his hand on his chest,

"You can call me Gussin, or 'Count'."

"I heard you killed Worms?"

"Worms, that thief?" Lu Mian answered with a smile, "He was struck to death by lightning. It has nothing to do with me. If I really killed him, the law enforcers would have already caught me."

Gussin smiled slightly,

"It's not that there is no way to deceive the law enforcers."

You guys also discovered the dullness and process-oriented nature of the law enforcers? Lu Mian thought for a few seconds and decided to be "honest,"

"Worms' cause of death was not being lucky enough. The item he stole from me can attract lightning on rainy days."

"That really can't be blamed on you." Gussin expressed understanding.

He asked enthusiastically,

"How should I address you, and where do you live now?"

"Louis, living in the 'Carnivore' bar." Lu Mian answered truthfully.

Gussin nodded lightly,

"Be careful of Bain, that is, the boss and chef of that bar. He is very dangerous and eats people."

Lu Mian showed a smile,

"He is already dead."

Gussin was stunned for a moment and returned a smile,

"You are more interesting than I expected. I hope you can bring long-lost vitality to Morora."

Lu Mian didn't continue this topic and took the opportunity to extract information,

"In Morora, besides Heraberg of the Church of Knowledge, who else needs attention?"

Gussin didn't think and said directly,

"Vanack, the boss of the Dades Agricultural Company, monopolized the grain supply of the surrounding farms to Morora. He had originally become an experimental person, but later suddenly ran out, behaving like a normal person."

"He is the most dangerous one in Morora."

Can he return to normal after becoming an experimental person? The Church of Knowledge didn't care about Vanack leaving the experimental personnel team? Isn't this what I need? Lu Mian nodded thoughtfully,

"Who is the second most dangerous in Morora?"

Gussin answered with his smile unchanged,

"They say it's me."
