Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life

The reason is simple: Sherlock could clearly see a few small Chinese characters under the restaurant's sign.

Sichuan restaurant!

Damn it, when did Asgard get stir-fried dishes?

Wait a minute, how could Asgard, with its own palace where they cook, possibly have roast meat for every meal?

When Sherlock pushed open the door and saw a fat man with a protruding belly, wearing a vest and shorts, a chef's hat, and a full beard, leaning against the bar smoking, Sherlock knew that he had made the right choice!

"Boss! What are your specialties?"

Sherlock spoke in Chinese. Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper, who had been looking bored, suddenly brightened up. However, when he saw Sherlock and Thor enter, the light in his eyes dimmed considerably again.

However, she still enthusiastically introduced the so-called specialty dishes to Sherlock in English, only to be interrupted by Sherlock's frown.

"Boss, stop bringing out these cheap imitations to fool foreigners, and serve some proper Sichuan food!"

Sherlock spoke in Chinese, but when the restaurant owner heard this, his gaze toward Sherlock became incredibly strange. However, he didn't say anything, but simply changed the menu.

With the new menu, Sherlock quickly ordered his food.

Before long, a large bowl of boiled fish, spicy blood curd, spicy chicken, twice-cooked pork, dry-fried green beans, and a large bowl of rice were served on the table. Thor went from being puzzled and disdainful at first, to being amazed after taking the first bite, and finally becoming addicted.

Sherlock and Doro were alright, since Helen and Sherlock often cooked Chinese food, but the taste was definitely not as good as the owner's cooking in the Chinese restaurant in Asgard.

Compared to Thor's seemingly bottomless appetite, Sherlock could only manage to slightly damage the Sichuan dishes on the table.

After Sherlock finished eating, he ordered another dessert for Doro before starting to chat with the owner in Chinese.

Sherlock soon found out why there was a Chinese restaurant in Asgard, which made him look at the owner with increasingly strange eyes.

To be honest, I don't know whether to envy the boss's fate or criticize the choices he has made.

After all, Sherlock truly saw the shadow of Cao Huada, the former Tiger of the Major Crimes Unit and the crime nemesis, in this older brother.

Chapter 117 A Seven-Day Trip to Asgard 6

This guy is indeed from Sichuan or Chongqing, and as for why he ended up in Asgard, we have to mention his fantastical experiences.

As is well known, Asgardians have a great love for seafood, which has even given rise to a black market for seafood.

Where there is a black market, there are naturally resellers and fishing teams. The latter are usually organizations owned by the black market traders themselves, but most resellers are adventurers working part-time.

And coincidentally, the reason this guy appeared in Asgard was related to those resellers, or to put it more bluntly, this guy's wife was a reseller!

This guy is a chef on Earth too, and he's a chef who left his hometown to work in a coastal area.

It was while buying groceries at the market that he saw his future wife, an Asgardian adventurer doing a quest to trade seafood.

At first, the guy thought it was some kind of cosplay. After watching the girl select seafood, he casually gave her a few pointers, and the two quickly became acquainted.

As they contacted each other more often, they gradually became friends, and the older brother's Sichuan cuisine successfully won over the Asgardian female adventurer's stomach.

The two quickly fell in love, and the female adventurer also found a time to reveal her identity to her brother.

At this point, the expression on the guy's face almost made Sherlock burst out laughing; he looked like he was listening to a Sichuan-style stand-up comedy routine.

"You silly goose~ You have no idea how dumbfounded I was when I heard my wife wasn't from Earth~ If I hadn't confirmed she didn't have a zipper, I would have thought I'd been infected with the plague or something!"

As the female adventurer revealed her identity, the two became a genuine interplanetary couple. While most people only travel across borders, these two crossed planets.

In the end, the older brother couldn't stand the long-distance relationship anymore. He figured he was just out there to work anyway, so it didn't matter where he worked. He proposed to the female adventurer and followed his wife to Asgard to resume his old profession.

The reason why the shop was deserted was quite simple. On the one hand, it was because the people were new to the area, and the shop had just been renovated. On the other hand, the Asgardians didn't know much about cooking, which was a new thing.

The few guests he currently has are all his wife's companions, so he's still living off his wife.

Listening to this guy's fantastical life story, Sherlock was at a loss for words.

He's truly brave, and incredibly skilled. Putting everything else aside, just considering their physical abilities alone, this guy's ability to take down that female adventurer shows he's no ordinary warrior.

However, considering that his brother is a man from Sichuan Province, and being henpecked is a family trait, Sherlock didn't find anything wrong with it.

At most, it's just that the older brother might never dare to utter the words "magic cloak" from his own mouth in his entire life.

Looking back at Thor, who was covered in sweat and almost red-faced from eating but still couldn't stop, Sherlock patted his fellow Earthling on the shoulder with great seriousness and said to this god-like older brother.

"Brother, I advise you to prepare yourself; your shop's business is likely to pick up soon."

As he finished speaking, Sherlock turned his back to his boss, looked at Thor who was still enjoying his meal, and silently made the sign of the cross on Thor's anus.

My dear child, I hope that when you wake up tomorrow morning, the chrysanthemums will be all well.

After all, Sichuan Province is a magical place, and its proctology department is considered the best in the country. Besides Chengdu being in Sichuan, the dishes with red oil floating in front of us are definitely an undeniable reason!

Thor and Sherlock were very satisfied with the meal. Thor even promised the owner that he would recommend it to his friends before leaving the restaurant with the owner's farewell.

Thor and Sherlock, sweating profusely from eating, were too tired to stroll any further down the shopping street.

After a quick discussion, the two decided to go for a bath and foot soak – a favorite activity for men!

Half an hour later, it was the same bathhouse, the same pool, the same pool water with healing properties, and the same three people from the beginning.

However, compared to the first time's haste and Sherlock's existential-doubting attitude, this time it was purely for relaxation.

With Thor leading the way, Sherlock and Doro also got to experience the unique massage features of Asgard, including special foot-pressing techniques.

Well, to use Sherlock's words, he had a really strong grip!

After a whole day, Doro, Sherlock, and even Thor all felt physically and mentally exhausted. The artificial sun in the sky had just set, and the three of them returned to the palace and fell into a deep sleep.

The screams of Thor echoed throughout the entire palace until the next morning.

When Sherlock arrived, Thor had already been taken into the infirmary with his face covered and his buttocks sticking out.

Anyway, ever since Thor, there's a standard answer to the question of whether you should cover your face or your genitals if you encounter a problem in a bathhouse and only have a towel.

At the very least, Thor chose to cover his face.

As for the actual effect? ​​Well, Sherlock, after listening to all the rumors circulating in the palace, felt that the effect was really just so-so.

Of course, it's also possible that Thor is a household name in the palace.

Of course, besides the injured Thor, there was another injured person: the doctor who had previously treated Thor.

Looking at Saul's medical report in his hand, with the words "intestinal burning" clearly visible, the doctor once again began to question the meaning of life.

To Sherlock's surprise, Thor's hospitalization quickly attracted the attention of his warrior friends, who were all eager to try what kind of food could possibly knock Thor out.

Supported by such a bizarre reason, miraculously, the business of that Earth guy who ran a Sichuan restaurant in Asgard inexplicably started to improve.

Thanks to his increasingly successful business, the man has finally shed his reputation as a "tiger" in the serious crimes unit and dares to make a comeback.

Although he can't hold on for long, given his physical limitations, this henpecked man probably won't be able to stand up for himself in front of his wife, or at least he won't be able to for long before he has to obediently lie back down.

Of course, with more people challenging the boss's Sichuan cuisine, the number of patients the doctor received naturally increased, and the number seemed to be growing day by day.

Finally, looking at the thick stack of medical records in his hand that read "intestinal burning," the doctor let out a desperate roar from his office.

"Are these barbarians really trying to build muscles in their asses? What the hell kind of training method is this?"

Chapter 118 A Seven-Day Trip to Asgard 7

Of course, the doctor's breakdown had little to do with Sherlock and Thor. With the medical standards of Asgard, even a groin injury could be treated very quickly.

At most, one can only say that the posture of laser insertion into the anus during treatment is not very elegant.

After Thor was back to his energetic self and stood before Sherlock, Sherlock's seven-day tour of Asgard continued.

However, because of the big shopping spree on the first day, there was no need to buy anything else in the following days. After all, Sherlock had already bought everything he needed, especially women's products, from cosmetics and skincare to clothes and bags.

Therefore, it took them three days, led by Thor, for Sherlock and Doro to thoroughly explore Asgard.

Whether it was beautiful scenery, amusement parks, or even some man-made landscapes, Sherlock and Doro didn't miss a thing. Thor even became their personal 'phone stand,' and Sherlock took countless photos.

Of course, there were some unexpected twists and turns in the process.

As we all know, in places like amusement parks and scenic spots, besides tourists, the most common people are couples.

And coincidentally, besides Sherlock, the single dog, and Doro, the cute little guy, there's another unlucky guy in the trio who's having an interracial romance.

Faced with the pervasive, cloying scent of romance in these places, Sherlock, being a single guy, didn't feel anything because he never thought about it, but Thor, who had a girlfriend, was suffering terribly.

Whenever Saul sees a couple together, Jane's image appears in his mind, to the point that it even begins to affect Sherlock's gaming experience.

After all, when Thor kept talking about Jane, Sherlock grew increasingly annoyed.

Finally, Sherlock couldn't stand Thor's seemingly unrequited lust any longer and spoke frankly to him.

"If you really can't take it anymore, just go to the Rainbow Bridge and ask Heimdall to send you to Earth to see Jane!"

No sooner had Sherlock finished speaking than Thor rushed up and covered Sherlock's mouth in a panic. It was at this moment that Sherlock realized, good heavens, Thor was in love and hadn't even told Odin and Frigga yet!

Looking at the burly, bearded Thor in front of him, Sherlock wondered if this guy's relationship could even be considered puppy love, so why was he so afraid to tell his parents?

No matter how much Sherlock pressed him for details, Thor remained tight-lipped, refusing to tell Sherlock a single word. He simply kept asking Sherlock to deliver a letter to Jane when he returned to Earth.

After thinking it over, Sherlock decisively agreed to Thor's request. Of course, the price was that the amount of medicinal herbs in the building materials Thor prepared for Sherlock to build the bathhouse would be doubled!

After calculating his savings, Thor agreed to Sherlock's shady deal without the slightest hesitation.

This can be considered one of the few unexpected incidents in the past few days.

As for why it's said to be three days, the reason is quite simple: given the size of Asgard, three days is indeed enough time to thoroughly explore the entire continent.

As for the remaining three days, Sherlock, bored out of his mind, finally agreed to go with Thor to experience the unique features of Asgard.

The arena.

To be honest, this was Sherlock's first time stepping into a place that resembled an ancient European gladiatorial arena, and here, Sherlock truly witnessed the martial spirit of Asgard.

The arena is divided into training matches and exhibition matches.

Training matches are basically competitions between soldiers, a way to hone their skills while exchanging ideas in a friendly manner. And training matches are generally not sold to the public, meaning there are no spectators.

Exhibition matches are different. The entire arena is packed with people during exhibition matches, somewhat like the scene when Luffy fought for the Flame-Flame Fruit in the Dressrosa arena.

The exhibition matches, on the other hand, are mostly battles between humans and monsters.

It is a performance by warriors who fight and kill various dangerous species captured from space.

To be honest, Sherlock wasn't really interested in that so-called exhibition match. After all, Sherlock wasn't a pervert, and he couldn't muster any interest in such bloody and violent things.

If he had to pinpoint exactly what, Sherlock was only interested in what those so-called 'monsters' actually tasted like.
