I'm just an internet cafe owner

"nice!"

Hearing Rimuru's praise, Milim jumped up excitedly: "Erina-neechan, you're amazing!"

"That's great! Which little rascal didn't want to wear clothes just now?"

"Hehe~"

Milim tried to get away with acting cute, but Erina Nakiri simply reached out and pinched Milim's cheek, then pointed to the monster ingredients that the spider had pulled over with its silk in the distance and asked, "These are ingredients I can use, right?"

"That's right!"

Rimuru hopped around as he explained, "We've hunted down everything edible, because we heard that anything edible can be made into a delicious dish."

Erina Nakiri shook her head: "It's not that exaggerated. I just brought out the flavor of the ingredients to the maximum. Whether it's delicious or not depends on the flavor of the ingredients or seasonings. But there are a lot of ingredients today, so I might need a few helpers."

Just as Rimuru was about to speak, Milim raised her hand and waved it: "Erina-neechan, I can do it! Milim is super strong~"

"Okay~ then you can help me. You can have some first after it's done cooking, you little glutton."

"Hehe~"

Milim smiled happily. When she went into the room to change clothes, she had eaten a lot of delicious snacks from Erina Nakiri. Because of these, she was really looking forward to Erina Nakiri's cooking.

Looking at Milim's smile, Rimuru raised his head and asked Shizuka, "Wouldn't this count as bribing the Demon Lord with delicious food?"

"I guess so?"

Jing was starting to have doubts about life. Having lived in this world for so long, she had naturally heard of the Demon King's name, and even knew about him herself...

But this was the first time she had ever seen a demon lord like Milim who was lured away by delicious food.

Chapter 428 Cooking in Another World

"This tastes... a bit like crab..."

Erina Nakiri looked at the several-story-tall monster spider in front of her and used her sense of smell and taste to decide what dish to make it into.

Meanwhile, Milim looked left and right, and when she saw the monster's thigh meat, she curiously poked it.

"Erina-neechan, is this delicious?"

Erina Nakiri nodded and said, "It's delicious. The meat is tender and sweet. It can be steamed, used in various dishes, or even made into sashimi. As for safety, leave it to me."

Since entering the internet cafe, Erina Nakiri has gained various abilities, but these are all auxiliary abilities. For example, simple and practical methods such as sterilization, insect control, and food preservation.

Just as Erina Nakiri was about to make her move, a demon girl named Shuna walked over.

Seeing the girl's hair color, Erina Nakiri's eyes lit up: "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Erina Nakiri was excited because she saw a passion for cooking in the girl's eyes. For this girl, cooking wasn't everything, but in this other world, it was rare to find someone living in poverty with such a passion for food.

"Excuse me, may I learn how to cook from you? I'd like to make dishes for Lord Rimuru in the future..."

Zhu Cai blushed slightly as she said this.

Erina Nakiri, on the other hand, gave her a knowing look: "No problem, come on! I'll teach you some of the most basic principles of cooking. Remember, no matter what kind of dish you make, the fundamental purpose is to make the person eating it feel good and happy. And based on this premise, what you need is constant practice..."

Erina Nakiri began demonstrating how to cook, and when she raised the cleaver, both people in the room widened their eyes in surprise.

Erina Nakiri picked up the kitchen knife, twirled it a few times, then walked to the monster spider and swung it rapidly, dismembering the monster's body almost instantly. The outer fur and soft shell were tattered, but the flesh inside remained intact.

Then they witnessed what a true master chef's skills were like. Erina Nakiri's hands moved so fast they appeared as afterimages, and then shredded meat, slices of meat, chunks of meat, and strips of meat flew out.

If that were all, it wouldn't be surprising. What's most surprising is that the cut ingredients neatly fell into the tableware prepared by Erina Nakiri. Plates, pots, ice—these ingredients weren't being controlled to fly there; they were flying there willingly.

"How is this possible?"

Milim's eyes widened; as a Demon Lord, she sensed something far more profound than Shuna. Through Erina Nakiri's hands, the ingredients seemed to come alive, as if they were cheering.

While cutting, Erina Nakiri explained, "The ice over there can be eaten directly. If you have other preferences, you can use these."

Zhu Cai looked on with curiosity at the sudden appearance of a large amount of seasonings.

Milim picked up a piece and put it in her mouth: "Isn't this just eating it raw?"

However, the moment the slice of meat entered her mouth, she felt a sense of elevation. Delicious! It was absolutely delicious. She felt as if she were on a grassland, beautiful music seemed to play in her mind, and her body relaxed because of the delicious food.

But the moment she finished eating, her eyes widened. She checked her soul; there was nothing wrong with it. She took another bite, and it was still incredibly delicious! The meat slices were tender, smooth, silky, fresh, and sweet.

After gently chewing and swallowing, the aroma filled her entire mouth, making her want to take another bite.

At this moment, Milim transformed into a foodie and immediately began to eat.

Erina Nakiri smiled and reminded him, "As someone who's helping out, you can eat some of the food beforehand. But don't eat too much, or you won't be able to eat later. Rimuru and the others have prepared a lot of ingredients."

Zhu Cai picked up a slice of meat and put it in her mouth, then exclaimed in surprise, "Why? Even though it's all raw meat, it tastes countless times better than anything I've ever had before."

After finishing dissecting the ingredients, Erina Nakiri looked at Shuna: "Even when eating raw, the parts and sizes of the ingredients..."

A person's knife skills and preparation methods can completely transform the flavor of ingredients. Little girl, you have a lot to learn! Luckily, we have quite a few ingredients today; if you're interested, let's cook together.

"But wouldn't that be wasteful?"

Shuna lost confidence in her cooking this time. Erina Nakiri, however, extended her hand and invited, "Of course not! By the way, if anyone else is interested in cooking, feel free to bring them over!"

Even after arriving in another world, Erina Nakiri never forgot her original aspirations. In her own world, she strives to promote cuisine. In her own world, her arrival has brought about a dramatic change in the culinary world.

And now, she hopes to make the people of this other world fall in love with cooking.

As for Milim? Erina Nakiri felt that as long as the child could eat, that would be fine.

There are a great many monsters, and in addition, because the people in this world don't know how to eat, the great forest is full of all kinds of delicious plants.

"I never knew potatoes existed in this world? Hmm... I'll make some potato chips and fries; kids love them."

"This tastes so interesting! I've never tasted this aroma before, Rimuru~ Please breed more of these magical beasts~"

"Milim~ Do you prefer it sweeter or saltier?"

Upon hearing the question, Milim excitedly exclaimed, "Sweeter!"

That night, the people of this world experienced what true gourmet food was for the first time. Because many of the ingredients were being prepared by Erina Nakiri for the first time, the flavors weren't fully realized, but some of the glowing dishes still allowed the monsters dining there to experience what delicious food truly meant.

Especially Milim, when she sat at the table and ate food with chopsticks in a very proper manner, Rimuru began to question his existence.

"Has the Demon King of this world never tasted anything good before?"

Faced with this complaint, Spider pondered and said, "Definitely. Judging from this child's condition, he's probably just like me back then, never having eaten a hot meal!"

After saying that, Spider reached out and picked up the monster spider's leg, then began to eat it greedily.

Seeing this, Rimuru couldn't help but retort, "Is this really okay? You're a spider too, right?"

"No problem~ I've already achieved the 'Cannibalism' skill~"

"... "

While everyone is having a fun party here, the monthly special offer on games is about to begin at the internet cafe.

The last time he played the balloon popping and brick-breaking mini-games, Liu Yuan was very unhappy. He had been thinking about what went wrong and what had caused him to play these games.

Finally, he realized he hadn't used any superstitious methods! He'd used a tiny bit of those methods before when the game refreshed. Last time, he hadn't used anything, and it still failed!

So, let's add some metaphysics this time. Metaphysics is none other than wood itself~

Chapter 429 New Games: Human: Fall Flat, Cute Cat Paradise

Inside Liu Yuan's room, this time Liu Yuan pulled Mu Geng into his room.

"Oh, boss? Are you lonely?"

Kisara teased Liu Yuan. In fact, she had a bold idea, but there were too many people outside, and her boss had emphasized some things, so she could only talk about it.

Liu Yuan shook his head: "You know why I sent you here!"

"It's time to release a new game every month, boss! Please use me!"

"Then I'll use you with all my might~"

"Waaah, please be gentle..."

Inside the house, the two were driving wildly, while outside, Tongxi, overhearing their conversation, gradually contorted her expression. Jibril whispered, "Once they start, I'll break down the door, then you record the evidence, and we'll use it to blackmail the boss! That way I can be in charge! Wahahahaha!"

While the two were loudly plotting outside, Liu Yuan inside the room had already completed the refresh of this new game.

Unlike the last game which was just a simple game, this game... is very interesting.

That's right, Liu Yuan rated this refreshed game as interesting.

These are two multiplayer cooperative games.

One game is called Human: Fall Flat, and the other is called Cute Cat Paradise.

Both are cooperative mini-games, but! Both games require a lot of teamwork.

"call!!"

Liu Yuan's expression twisted in disbelief. These two games were so interesting that Liu Yuan wanted to join everyone in the internet cafe for some fun.

"Alright, you two, stop eavesdropping! The new game is out!"

When Liu Yuan said that, Jibril jumped up: "Boss? What game? Is it fun?"

"Super fun! Hehe~"

When Liu Yuan laughed like that, Jibril leaned back in fear, while Tongxi, having learned through her privileges that Liu Yuan had acquired the game, showed an expression of "telepathy" with him.

Who is Liu Yuan? He's the owner of this internet cafe. He seems perfectly respectable, but he's full of wicked humor.

The two newly released games, in particular, are downright horrible; they're the epitome of horrible humor.

Let's start with Human: Fall Flat. Players take on the role of a boneless, limp human trying to solve puzzles. Playing alone is puzzle-solving, but with multiple players, it truly becomes a human-fall flat disaster. In this game, players can't precisely control their bodies, but they can still smash into walls, smash into the ground, and smash into...

He argues with the sky, criticizes the air, and even criticizes his teammates.

Sure enough, Liu Yuan followed the shop assistants to familiarize himself with the game. Ten soft-bodied creatures were wriggling around in their own unique ways. Some hopped and jumped, while others crawled along the ground. And Jibril? Through her abnormal control abilities, she was walking and heading towards Liu Yuan.

"Boss! This game is so hard, my body is completely out of my control!"

As Jibril wailed, the game had only one mode: Reality Mode. In Reality Mode, players were completely immersed in the state of the soft human, unable to die, experiencing basic sensations, a sticky body, and a limp physique.

The puzzles in each level are actually very simple; anyone here can easily pass them by using their brains. However, in real mode, players don't have brains.

The system will temporarily seal away what's called the brain, leaving only the most basic desires of life: the will to survive and the urge to destroy! Driven by the will to survive, all characters will do everything they can to live when facing "death." The urge to destroy manifests as the desire to send someone to their doom when seeing them in danger.

Of course, if players have thoughts of revenge or want to trick others, they won't be blocked. The only thing that will be blocked is thinking about how to pass the level. Everything else is completely unblocked!
