New Century Kitchen Warrior

Chapter 19 The Beautiful Legend of Hillius

There was once a legend circulating in Hillius.

About five years ago, an unprepossessing oriental chef briefly appeared in Hillius. He brought with him a variety of magical delicacies, ranging from a bowl of vegetarian noodles to barbecued meat that was so delicious that it made people burst with food. The unprecedented fresh and fragrant aroma became famous throughout the Explorers Guild.

Mr. Ohno himself is revered as the God of Food by explorers who have tasted his food.

However, it was only a flash in the pan.

The guild took immediate action, and within just a few days, they banned him from selling food in Hillius on the grounds of unhygienic conditions.

Under the protest of many explorers, Mr. Ohno was reluctantly allowed to retain the right to sell a limited amount of fried rice every day.

The next day, when many people were trembling with fear and wondering what kind of sky-high price this egg fried rice would be sold at, Mr. Ohno came out slowly pushing a cart and put out the magical egg fried rice at an affordable price.

For a while, Lei Ye was revered as the Fried Rice God. Out of a kind of respect that was almost like a religious belief, everyone would queue up tacitly every time. No one acted as a scalper and no one made a fuss because of not getting a piece of food. They just waited for the reward from the Fried Rice God with a pious heart.

However, it was only a flash in the pan.

A month later, the Fried Rice Immortal disappeared from Hillius quietly.

After that, his figure only appeared occasionally in Hillius, but there was almost no fried rice on the market. Over the past five years, batches of explorers left and came, and gradually, the story of Mr. Ohno, the fried rice master, has become a legend.

Only a few old folks still remember the taste of that time.

"Come back, Mr. Ohno, my proudest belief!" The man who confirmed Lei Ye's identity was a little excited and shook Lei Ye's hand tightly, "I miss you, Mr. Ohno!"

Buyadi wanted to stop him, but soon found that he had no hostility, so she let him hold Lei Ye's hand.

"Who are you?" Lei Ye was still a little confused after being shaken forcefully.

He thought this guy came to chat up Buyadi, but he didn't expect it to unfold like this.

Coming for me?
"It's me. I'm your number one fan. I often bought your fried rice. You probably don't remember my name, but you should think I look familiar." The man felt a little sad about Lei Ye's reaction.

"Ahhh, it's you." (I have no impression of it at all)
Lei Ye stood up blankly to show respect.

At this time, other people had gradually gathered around Lei Ye's table.

"Brother, what's going on? It smells so good."

"Yeah, I've been wondering since a while ago, there's a particularly pleasant smell here, what's going on, could it be that the guild has launched some hidden new dishes?"

More and more people slowly gathered here.

Lei Ye and Buyadi looked at each other. This scene looked familiar to them. It was the scene when Lei Ye first took out the vegetarian noodles, attracting a large number of people to watch like zombies.

Although soy sauce was not used this time, it was a luxurious dragon meat feast prepared with all our efforts. As a top-notch delicacy, it is understandable that it would have such an effect.

Before Lei Ye could explain, the man next to him became excited, straightened his body and introduced loudly.

"Hey everyone, you can smell the odor, right? It's the Fried Rice Immortal! This is the Fried Rice Immortal I have been talking about. I didn't lie to you, the delicacy that allows you to see little people talking after eating it really exists!" At the end, he shouted almost choking.

Finally, Lei Ye remembered who this customer was.

He is the one who loves mushroom fried rice.

The man suddenly turned around and looked at Lei Ye with tears in his eyes.

"Please, Mr. Ohno, please give us brothers another taste of that delicious egg fried rice! Please, brother! Five years, do you know how I spent these five years?! Give me a bite, brother! I can cook anything!"

Why am I having withdrawal symptoms?

It's really baffling.

But Lei Ye was really surprised and happy that someone had remembered him for so long. He took out the storage bag and rummaged through it, and found the few remaining stocks from a few years ago and handed it to the man.

".I really can't do anything with you."

When the guy saw the small mushroom label on the lunch box, he suddenly couldn't hold back his expression, and his already ferocious face became even more hideous.

Tears burst out.

“This, this! This is it!!”

He took the lunch box with both hands, placed it on the table reverently, then clasped his hands together and prayed silently to God.

"Hey, who do you think you are disturbing during their meal?" Buyadi looked at the strange man who borrowed their dining table uninvited, with disdain in his eyes, "Lei Ye! You are not really going to give them lunch boxes, are you? After lunch, shouldn't we go and upgrade our team level? I really want to take on the commission!"

Just when she was about to lose her temper, she turned her head and saw Lei Ye rummaging through his lunch box with the corners of his mouth inadvertently raised.

Buyadi fell silent.

After a moment, she calmly put away her half-eaten plate, then stood up and gave up her seat.

"But then again, it's a rare opportunity for me to come to Hillius and I have a few places I want to visit. How about we move around freely for now?" She bent down and poked Lei Ye in the side.

".Action separately?" Lei Ye hurriedly shook his head, "That won't work."

Buyadi narrowed her eyes and raised the corners of her mouth.

After observing Lei Ye's expression for a moment, she smiled evilly, "Don't worry, I may be a devil, but destroying things is not my hobby. Don't worry about it all the time. Let's go, Yuna, let's go out and play."

After saying that, Buyadi walked out the door with a very happy look on her face.

Yuna silently put the plate into the storage bag and followed her.

"I told you he cooks delicious food, didn't I? What do you think? How does it taste?"

".tasty."

"Yeah, yeah! I thought about it at that time. Even if he was a scam, I had to catch him and bring him back to the Scorched Earth to be a cook. But I didn't expect that guy to be so interesting. His moral values ​​were so high that he even wanted to save the Demon King. He even called himself a good friend. Disgusting, really disgusting! It turned out that just letting him be a cook was too easy for him. I had to think of a way to make him understand that he had become my servant and there was no way he could escape."

Buyadi suddenly smiled faintly, "However, he seems quite happy that someone likes to eat his cooking. Before that, let him enjoy this happiness for a while."

Buyadi didn't understand this kind of happiness, but she could see that Lei Ye was very happy now.

Standing within the range of Yuna's invisibility magic, Buyadi watched with interest as Lei Ye began to skillfully lay out the lunch boxes.

Gratini is very introverted. She keeps eating all the time. She never tells me if she is full or not. She just keeps eating.

And Lasda stood up hurriedly and began to help Lei Ye set up the stall.

Soon, the explorers gradually moved closer to Lei Ye. Lei Ye was quite stingy and only put out boxed lunches. But as some people started to eat, the explorers suddenly became excited. The Explorers Guild, which had been relatively quiet just now, suddenly became noisy and became quite noisy.

To be honest, it was a bit exaggerated, just like religious fanaticism. At this time, a staff member of the guild suddenly squeezed through the crowd and rushed towards Lei Ye. Lei Ye closed his stall and prepared to run away as a conditioned reflex, but the staff member stopped him first.

After a conversation, Lei Ye's nervous state relaxed and he entered the kitchen under the guidance of the staff.

Soon, Buyadi saw Lei Ye dancing beside the stove in the kitchen again. He was stirring the wok violently in the rising firelight, accompanied by the astonishing cheers of the explorers who were watching from afar.

He looked quite happy, as if a string that had been taut for a long time had quietly loosened, and Buyadi couldn't help but smile.

"That's great, you should have fun." She murmured softly.

Lei Ye turned around suddenly, but couldn't see Buyadi making a face in front of him.

She took a few steps back, walked through the crowd she didn't care about at all, left the Explorer's Guild, and found a relatively hidden place for Yuna to remove the invisibility spell.

"Come on, let's go play."

Come to the street.

Buyadi opened her arms and welcomed the wind of the city with joy.

Speaking of which, she had quick-loaded the game many times, but rarely went to play outside of the Scorched Earth. This was almost the first time, and she was unexpectedly happy.

Is it because Hillius is really interesting, or is it because there are more friends around me this time?

Or is it that this time there is someone who claims to be her good friend without her permission?

In order to become the kind of demon king who can lead the demons onto the right path, Buyadi devoted all his life to practice, starting from the moment he witnessed his grandfather's death until the final battle.

Apart from the necessary nutritional intake and sleep, she spends every minute and every second on honing her strength.

Perhaps because of this crazy practice, the subordinates who once followed my grandfather all felt that they were little monsters. Even though they showed basic respect for him on the surface, they were always alienated from him in their hearts because of fear or some other emotion.

But there was actually nothing that could be done about it. Buyadi was not as tolerant of loneliness as they imagined. She had gotten along well with everyone many times, but no one had remembered it.

During the hundred years of training, Buyadi saved the game countless times, and then tried hard to make friends and have fun for a few days. After having enough fun, she killed herself and quickly loaded the game, returning to the moment when she had just finished training, and then reminiscing about the short-lived friendship that only existed in her memory and continued to temper herself alone.

Until the so-called final battle.

It can be seen that the hero's attributes, skills and various bonuses are all top-notch. Even in Buyadi's eyes, he is considered a good opponent. However, his loss was not unfair. Buyadi had been preparing for this battle for a full hundred years.

I don't know if this can be considered as breaking the fate. Regarding the divination.

Speaking of which, Bu Yadi was too lazy to think about that kind of thing. She just breathed a sigh of relief and had a strong sense of liberation. No matter what, she no longer needed to force herself to do crazy self-sculpting like she did in the past. The time from now on will belong only to her.

No, maybe this time it doesn't belong to her alone.

She suddenly revealed a twisted,

Sweet,

Smile shyly.

It turns out that the restrictions on Lei Ye had been lifted long ago.

Under the guidance of the staff, Lei Ye returned to the guild's kitchen after five years. The cheers made him forget himself and he accidentally took out some of the ingredients he had kept in the bottom of the box.

"Oh shit. There are so many people. It's so painful." Lestar was helping in the kitchen with a mask of pain on her face.

She didn't look like she was very good at dealing with too many eyes on her.

But Lei Ye was really happy about the job, but even the people he hired might not be that happy.

What he is experiencing is the life he had thought about five years ago. His only inherent skills are not powerful but they allow him to support himself easily. He can make money and get praise from others. There are even beautiful girls who will follow him around everywhere because of his good cooking skills (Glatini). This is the best life for him.

He had once expanded the detailed interface of this skill and knew that this skill also had a setting for strengthening planting skills. If he could find a house with his own farmland to settle down, then he would be able to achieve self-sufficiency.

There is even enough energy to allow the homeless people around to at least have something to eat.

Unfortunately, I was controlled by the hero, and I have been working basically for the past five years.

And now, the shackles on the locked door of possibilities were completely removed and opened before Lei Ye.

Lei Ye seemed to see the door in a trance.

I saw the shadow of Buyadi in front of the door again.

It wasn't a docile elephant, it was Buyadi. She was shaking Lei Ye's arm in front of the door and acting coquettishly, saying that she didn't want you to come in.

While the explorers in the guild were enjoying a hearty meal, Lei Ye silently took off his apron and left the kitchen. He walked past the people who greeted him and came to the commission board.

Well, this might be my last few days in Hillius. This is a rare opportunity. I'll just treat everyone to a good meal. I'm now a popular devil in the Demon King's City! If I keep hanging around this stove, won't I lose my share of Yuzubao?

It’s better to do some commissions.

According to the guild's rules, a newly formed team can only take on the first mission based on the lowest level in the team. There are three new members in the team, which means that the first mission can only be the lowest level G.

[Defeat the slimes that are rampant in the forest]

Forget about this. With Galatini in the team, it’s better not to get involved in tasks related to slimes.

【Cleaning clogged sewers in towns】

This kind of thing is not within the scope of selection.

The main purpose of accepting the commission was to make Buyadi happy. If she were to clean the sewer, she would probably get angry.

It was only a few hours ago that Buyadi released super-level magic in the underground maze Hongwen. In any case, Lei Ye wanted to avoid anything that might anger Buyadi as much as possible.

Lei Ye ignored those commissions that required handling miscellaneous tasks, and only selected those that had an "adventurous" feel, and finally tore off a commission that was posted in the corner.

[Rescue the nearby village girl from the Goblin Cave]

After reading the brief introduction, I found that the Goblin Cave is a relatively large cave, and the reward offered is quite small. No wonder it is placed in the corner of the commission board.

But Lei Ye doesn't care about money.

"Thank you, BYD."

He glanced at the place where he had heard the sound, and a feeling of joy welled up in his heart.
