Quadruple split

two hours later

Dragon Soul Town, ‘Mistletoe’ Tavern

"Boss! Another bucket of snake head blue."

"Okay~"

"Boss, where are our schnitzels?"

"Wait a minute, that's good!"

"Boss, is my roasted moon cake ready?"

"Wait a moment, I'll be ready soon."

"Boss, my cabbage..."

"Hold on!"

"boss……"

Even though it was past twelve o'clock at night, the business here was still booming. The only dozen small tables were all full, and you could vaguely see a lot of people queuing outside.

【ah! Who can come and save me? 】

The half-orc boss, who was too busy to touch the floor, squeezed out a sigh from his throat in despair, placed a barrel of strong liquor in front of the two half-dragon guests, and shouted in the direction of the kitchen: "No. 7, 9, 14 Is the food on the table ready?"

"It's early!" the angry voice responded: "Come over and help if you have nothing to do!"

"Get out of here, it's not much easier for me than you!" Boss Deli was almost exhausted and vomiting. He roared while squeezing his neck and secretly vowed that he must recruit a henchman in the next two days, otherwise he would be counted as one. I can barely cope with being both the boss and the waiter, but the efficiency in the kitchen is really a bit too slow!

[If this continues, what will happen if those crazy hungry guys pick me up and grill me! 】

Deli turned his head to avoid a few hungry and sharp eyes, and angrily cursed the outsiders who had formed a group to cause trouble in the town a while ago.

Although the local half-dragon guards eventually killed those people easily, the other two taverns in the town also suffered heavy losses in the storm and were temporarily closed.

In line with the principle that colleagues are enemies, Delhi was quite happy at the time...

As a result, he was happy for less than half a day when he discovered a very bad reality.

That is, if you continue to adhere to a chef's principle of high cost performance, then your store may not be able to save it!

"that……"

[But hiring a serious chef is very expensive! 】

"Hello……?"

【So as long as someone can cook! The most important thing is it's cheap! 】

"Are you the boss here, Mr. Dripapian?"

[But until now, no one has responded...huh? 】

Deli, who had been in a state of distraction, realized that someone was calling him. He looked closely and saw a hooded girl with wings on her back standing in front of her, waving her white hand vigorously. tiny hand.

"Ah, I'm Deli." Deli looked curiously at the girl in front of him who only showed half of her face (guessed), and asked: "Who are you?"

Seeing that the other party no longer ignored her, the girl immediately took out a crumpled piece of parchment from her pocket and asked with a smile: "Are you still hiring?"

"Recruiting?" Deli was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously glanced at the 'flyer' in the other person's hand, and suddenly said: "You want to be a chef here?"

"Yes!" The girl nodded vigorously: "My name is Ye Ge, I am a chef..."

When she said the last two words, her voice suddenly became timid.

That's right! The hooded winged girl who appeared in front of Delhi was none other than Ji Xiaoge! Ji Xiaoge has the well-deserved talent of [Overwhelming the Country] both in the game and in reality, and also possesses the talent of [Killing Cuisine] in both worlds!

"Chef~" Deli's eyes were not poisonous. He immediately noticed that the girl in front of him didn't seem to have much confidence. He asked slowly: "Isn't she a good cook?"

The girl nodded, then raised her two little hands in front of her and clasped them tightly: "But I will try my best!"

"Tsk tsk, this is a good mentality." Deli, who had been panicking a moment ago, was as steady as an old dog at this moment, nodding to Ji Xiaoge and saying: "And I do have some shortage of people here, so it's okay to keep you. It’s not impossible, but…”

The girl quickly asked: "But what?"

"But the treatment may not be that good." Delhi tried to raise the price.

result……

"It doesn't matter!" Ji Xiaoge said with a smile: "Just let me cook!"

[Damn, such a good thing! ? 】

Derry was immediately elated and was about to arrange for the girl to go into the kitchen without saying anything, but he didn't expect that at this moment...

Bang!

The door of the tavern was pushed open by someone from the outside, and two figures, one tall and one short, appeared at the door, both panting and looking disheveled.

The taller one is wearing a set of mage robes, with white beard and hair. He is male. The strange-shaped staff behind his back is surrounded by a faint black smoke. He looks about seventy or eighty years old. He is holding an iron rod in his hand. chain.

The short one is half-crouching on the ground, with a pair of pointed gray animal ears and a furry tail of the same color. The female looks about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a pretty face and a slim figure, but her eyes seem to know how to do it. The big eyes that spoke like words seemed to be lingering with a layer of mist for some reason, as if they were about to cry at any time, and...

There was a large collar on her snow-white neck, and there was a large iron chain connected to it. The other end was held in the hand of the seemingly sanctimonious old man next to her.

"Boss, please bring me a plate of sauced meat and a glass of ale." The old man led the girl inside and shouted at the top of his voice: "Another three kilograms of big bones, two kilograms boiled and minced, and one kilogram made into soup. "

"Woof." The girl next to him also shouted, and unexpectedly...

[He was so trained that he can’t even speak human words! 】

Ji Xiaoge, who was jealous of evil, only felt that her heart was filled with anger at this moment. She no longer cared about talking to the boss in front of her. She clenched her silver teeth and turned to face the tall and thin old man. She shouted softly: "Shameless" !”

"ah?"

The old man looked at her blankly and reacted for a while before saying "Ah".

But the dog girl next to him weakly shook her head at Ji Xiaoge: "Hungry!"

【So pitiful! 】

Ji Xiaoge and the surrounding diners couldn't help but think of this at this moment. The sad cry of "hungry" seemed to contain a thousand words, countless blood and tears, and people almost dared not think about this person. I can’t tell what the little girl has been through!

At least in the mind of a certain girl who has been tortured by various literary works, she has now imagined a tragic story of tens of thousands of words.

The kind that can arouse a lot of public opinion just by taking one out!

The unscrupulous and cruel master, the poor girl who can't even get a bite to eat, the cold basement, the collar symbolizing humiliation, the crazy potion experiments, the victims of evil alchemy, the right to speak normally is deprived, and whether or not to gain or lose. To answer the call for help, a life of darkness...

[Damn it, I have to save her! 】

Ji Xiaoge subconsciously took a step forward, but suddenly found that although the eyes of the others were full of anger, no one stood up with righteous indignation. Even the few adventurers who seemed to be quite capable were silently Turned away.

Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is the instinct of all intelligent creatures. Few people will choose the romantic-sounding "help each other when the road is rough". This situation does not only happen in the real world. As long as there is so-called "wisdom" Where 'instinct' exists, this kind of thing will exist...

And in the world of innocence, which has a basic moral system but a less developed social structure, this phenomenon is even more common.

It's not that there is no 'good' and 'evil' in people's eyes, but the cost of truly being able to 'do good' for the sake of others regardless of one's own interests or even life is much higher than the cost of 'doing evil' which is said to be difficult but extremely easy to do.

Of course, in the eyes of most people, if they have an overwhelming advantage in strength when facing evil forces, they will naturally not mind casually sanctioning the other party, and then get 'psychological comfort', 'flowers of applause', and 'throwing into one's heart' Sending hugs and other spiritual, reputational or material rewards.

This kind of behavior may be equally worthy of recognition, but true greatness should belong to those who are willing to pay a huge price to "do good".

Looking at the old mage, not to mention anything else, his appearance, which looked like a sage, was enough to kill the desire to ‘draw a sword and help’ in the hearts of most people present.

It is a recognized fact that a mage becomes more powerful as he gets older.

Just because this guy looked like he was half buried in the ground, he could easily calm all the onlookers at the scene.

but……

Some people don't care!

"Let that girl go!" Ji Xiaoge didn't care so much. Even if no one stood up with her, she couldn't stop the girl from wanting to slap that perverted old man. This has nothing to do with whether she is in the 'game world' , It has nothing to do with her appearance, family status, or strength, it’s just that she doesn’t like it!

Simply being displeased and wanting to help were all the reasons why she forgot all the risks at this moment.

"Let her go?" The old man glanced at the chain in his hand and hesitated.

The girl shook her head slightly and whispered: "No, I'm hungry, I'm hungry..."

The old man smiled slightly at the girl: "Okay, although the result is more subtle, you finally understand something."

【Are you afraid of not having food to eat? It's so pathetic. 】

Ji Xiaoge couldn't stand it any longer. The pair of snow-white wings behind him suddenly spread out, and he floated up. He paused in mid-air for a few seconds and then quickly flew towards the old man in front of him.

"Huh?" I saw the old man... forget it, I guess everyone has guessed it by now. I saw Jadeka pulling his teeth and quickly retreating a few steps, waving his hands and saying: "This girl, are you afraid? Misunderstood!"

Ji Xiaoge's originally somewhat jerky flying skills actually became extremely smooth under his anger. The pair of wings behind his back, like arms, suddenly accelerated in mid-air, and his silhouette swept over with a gust of fragrant wind.

"Woof!" Yaya was a little anxious now and shouted loudly: "Hungry woof! Wandeka is not a woofer!"

To be honest, if her lingua franca were more standard, Ji Xiaoge’s big cake with blown hair and broken hair probably wouldn’t be cut off...

Yes, you read that right, I’m talking about big cakes!

Although Ji Xiaoge only has one profession, she is a chef, but this does not mean that she does not have some attack methods. With her extremely talented cooking talent, she was originally considered a living profession in the "Innocence Realm" Chefs can fight too!

She flipped her slender hand and took out an oval-shaped piece from somewhere. She raised her hand and cut it towards Jadeka!

"This is a magical weapon!" The latter, who was relatively well-informed, panicked at the time and subconsciously raised his arm to block it. The cuffs of the fine-quality robe were actually cut directly. His muscles were strong. The sharp round weapon also left a bloodstain on his arm!

Ji Xiaoge sneered and backhand struck Jadeka's left hand holding Yaya: "This is not a weapon!"

She didn't lie...

That's right, this thing is indeed not a weapon!

Although this cake is not only very sharp, but also has offensive power, can break armor, and make the target bleed, it is indeed not a weapon in the strict sense!

At least in Ji Xiaoge's eyes, it is edible!

If she hadn't been forced by the situation, she wouldn't have wanted to use the food she had worked so hard to cook in battle...

But now is a special situation!

【We must rescue that girl! At least give her a chance to escape! 】

Ji Xiaoge thought so, the pie in his hand was flying up and down in combination with the new century women's fighting skills. The attack was so fierce that even the experienced combat veteran Jadeka was a little confused for a while, retreating repeatedly to avoid the edge!

When the other guests saw the two fighting, they hesitated for a moment and then stood up resolutely, and then...ran out without looking back!

"Pay!" Deli, who was a little dazed at first, immediately came to his senses, yelled and chased after him while cursing on the street.

The entire tavern suddenly became empty.

A few minutes later, with a small fireball from Jadeka, the [Onion-cut Iron Flower Armor-breaking Pie] in Ji Xiaoge's hand shattered.

"Little girl!" Jadeka sighed weakly: "Calm down!"

After all, he still had far more experience than Ji Xiaoge, but within a few minutes he realized that the girl in front of him didn't actually have any fighting skills, so he found an opening and put a fireball on the cake. , as expected, the effect is outstanding!

but……

"Is it great to be able to make pancakes?" Ji Xiaoge curled his lips, flipped his hands lightly, and actually took out another weird weapon that Jadeka had never seen before!

[Is it a blunt instrument this time? Who is this girl? 】

Jadeka cautiously took Yaya and took two steps back, feeling that he was a little awkward...

"Come again!"

Ji Xiaoge's wings flapped again, and he held the two round, strange-shaped blunt weapons in his hands and smashed them on Jadeka's head!
