The Demon’s Menu

Rick was wearing brand new clothes, rubbing his fingers nervously and nervously.

Today is his test day.

Every ten-year-old child needs to pass the test. Whether you are born rich or poor, you will get a chance - and a life-changing opportunity.

Of course, it's not the only one.

Even if you fail, you can learn 'mystery knowledge', or learn 'scientific knowledge'.

'City That Never Sleeps' has good enough benefits.

But, if possible, Rick still wants to be a 'saint'!

Be one of those 999 saints.

Become the most heroic warrior under your crown.

Become a gourmet beloved by residents of 'The City That Never Sleeps'.

Be a sung hero.

So, he was apprehensive.

worry about not being successful.

Teacher Lian, can I do it?

Rick asked the teacher at the orphanage next to him softly.

certainly!

Rick, you are a child who believes in 'light'!

So, it must be possible!

The teacher clenched his fists to encourage Rick.

Said to be a teacher, but she was actually a girl of seventeen or eighteen, wearing a clean white shirt and a black suspender skirt. Two golden ponytails were tied up high and swayed up and down as she clenched her fists.

Um!

With the teacher's encouragement, Rick nodded vigorously.

And 'Lian' touched Rick's head, and then went to appease more children behind him.

As the teacher of the No. 36 welfare home, 'Lian' is quite excellent. Although she is not young, she is deeply loved by students. She is amiable and familiar with a lot of 'mysterious knowledge' - and she is also a A 'Saint'!

Of course, the identity behind is hidden.

This is what every 'saint' must have.

After becoming a 'saint', it takes three years to systematically learn fighting, swordsmanship, shooting, and mysterious knowledge. Food and basic cooking.

After that, it's a one- to three-year battlefield 'trainee'.

Then, after returning to the 'city that never sleeps', you will get a 'vacation' of one to three years.

This 'vacation' needs to hide his identity, enter all walks of life in the 'city that never sleeps', and live as an ordinary person.

'Lian' chose a teacher from a welfare home.

Because she was born in an orphanage.

Some of her companions chose the front desk of the hotel, the kitchen handyman, the stall hawker, and some simply chose to wander.

At first she didn't know why there was such an arrangement.

But, slowly, she understood.

Whenever she sees the innocent and cute looks of the children, she has a determination to protect such smiles.

Thank you Your Majesty!

‘Lian’ prayed in a low voice.

As a 'saint', she knew what the 'city that never sleeps' looked like thirty years ago.

If it wasn't for the appearance of 'Your Majesty', the entire 'City that Never Sleeps' would likely be destroyed.

It is impossible to have the present life at all.

Not only live and work in peace and contentment, but also rich in resources.

Every resident of the city that never sleeps has the most complete welfare system.

From birth, there will be enough money to live in the account every month, and there is a free medical system to help you get through the difficulties when you are sick. Everyone can choose a job according to their hobbies.

After retirement, there is also a complete pension system to help residents complete the end of their lives.

Her mentor is out of this stage now.

On the battlefield, her mentor lost an arm and both legs, so she retired early.

Her teacher expressed dissatisfaction with this.

Because, the new robotic arms and legs are very useful.

Recently, I am applying to return to the battlefield, but it is impossible with a high probability-according to the rules of Your Majesty, such heroes who return from the battlefield should be treated as heroes.

so,

Her mentor became their mentor, teaching newcomers.

Thinking in her heart, when her mentor mentioned that she could still bring more honor to the 'city that never sleeps' on the battlefield, 'Lian' couldn't help turning up the corner of her mouth.

Because she thought so too.

When the 'vacation' is over, she will also return to the battlefield!

Now she is already a second-level 'Taste' of the 'Saint', and when she is promoted to 'Taste', she will apply for an early termination of her vacation.

She wants to be promoted to Predator quickly!

That is a captain-level character who can act alone or lead a team!

However, if you want to become a 'predator', you must be able to complete it on the battlefield!

While thinking in the bottom of my heart, 'Lian' raised the little red flag in his hand.

No. 36 Welfare Institute, 3rd grade classmates, come with me!

Please look after the little red flag in the hands of the teacher!

We're about to board the car!

'Lian' shouted loudly.

Immediately, 30 children lined up in two rows in an orderly manner, followed behind 'Lian' and waited for the school bus.

The car started, and soon it was driving on the ring road.

Ordinary vehicles along the way have politely avoided.

From zone 30 to zone 1.

More and more school buses gathered.

After entering Zone 1, a total of 100 school buses stopped in an orderly manner.

And these are just the vehicles of the orphanage.

On the other side are public school vehicles.

The number is several times the number of vehicles in the orphanage.

Under the guidance of their teachers, the students got out of the car and walked towards the largest building in District 1 - the 'Food Hall'.

Before we got close, the strong fragrance came to me.

Today's main course has three-

Fried pork, Kung Pao chicken, braised pork!

Each student can choose the food you most yearn for and take the test!

Pass the test and become a saint!

However, even if you don't pass, you will get additional opportunities - another Excellency under His Majesty has advanced to 'Gourmet', this Excellency created the branch of 'Molecular Cuisine', and the children who failed can also choose this Excellency. Try it.

At the end of the square, an old man with gray hair said with a smile.

Once the owner of the 'Postman's House' and now the head of the 'Food Hall', the 'Old Man' never imagined that he would see the future of the 'City that Never Sleeps'.

That's right!

future!

These children in front of us are the future!

Children, come on!

Watching the children enter the hall, the 'old man' silently blessed.

As for the branch of 'molecular cuisine'?

That's Lauren Delder!

No one thought that this guy would be the first guy to enter the seventh order.

In this regard, the 'old man' is not jealous, just a blessing.

And he?

There is no waste of the 'Saint' quota.

You know your own business.

He is old.

Although Jason helped him find 'long lettuce', the increase in lifespan did not change his mentality - he still likes to look at these 'futures'.

How about it?

The voice of 'Jin' came from the headset.

Better than expected.

The little guys are in good shape.

Will your daughter also participate?

'Old man' said with a smile.

Um.

According to Lin's meaning, she changed her name, just like the other children.

'Jin' replied.

You're worried she'll be treated favorably?

the 'old man' asked.

It's obvious, even the Crown allows 'fairness within reason', but I can't do that. As the deputy mayor of the 'City That Never Sleeps', I need to lead by example.

At the same time, whoever dares to do this, I will definitely kill Wushe!

The voice of 'Jin' gradually became colder.

Please!

Although so many years have passed, is it a little exaggerated that you have gone from one extreme to another?

The 'old man' smiled wryly.

Not an exaggeration!

It's a must!

The 'City That Never Sleeps' has become prosperous and strong under the leadership of the mayor, but the mayor's heart is too kind, and he hates troubles. Therefore, as the deputy mayor, I need to help the mayor solve these troubles. .

I've seen the 'City That Never Sleeps' look bad.

Therefore, I absolutely do not allow the 'city that never sleeps' to change back!

The voice of 'Jin' was loud and clear.

The 'old man' smiled bitterly.

It wasn't the first time he heard 'Kim' say that.

Every time, it was speechless.

So, the 'old man' changed the subject.

'Lion', have you sent back any news?

Well, it's back!

Do those guys from Shallow Water really think that an attack in the outer domain of the City that never sleeps can scare us?

I'll let them understand what regret is!

What is life better than death!

After saying that, 'Jin' ended the call.

Don't ask, 'Old Man' also knows what 'Jin' is doing.

When the war between 'The City That Never Sleeps' and 'The Capital of Yongle' was at its most critical, 'Shallow' suddenly launched an attack on 'The City that Never Sleeps'. For Te, El, Lin and a group of 'city that never sleeps' old people, that is unforgivable.

As 'gold' said.

After they saw the bad appearance of the 'city that never sleeps'.

Anyone who wants to change the 'city that never sleeps' back is trampling on their ideal of fighting for it all their lives.

That is immortality.

The 'City of Yongle', 'The City of Prosperity', and the 'City of Daylight' have been integrated into the 'City that Never Sleeps'.

There are still 'Shallow Water', 'Haicheng', and 'Sword Canyon'. The former is nothing special, but the latter two are a little troublesome. One is completely water, and the other is all soldiers...

If only Jason could make another shot.

When the 'old man' thought of the reason why Jason couldn't take action, his face suddenly became strange.

He didn't even know that Jason had quietly provoked so many wonderful and terrible women.

Moreover, these women are getting closer.

Every time Jason made a shot, it would make them more and more sure of where Jason was.

Therefore, after gaining the authority of the 'prosperous city' and the 'city of daylight', Jason immediately chose to use a 'more ordinary way' to solve the trouble.

This is also the reason why the city of Yongle can last for two years.

Otherwise, Jason's shot will directly crush the game.

But it's also a good thing.

At least the 'city that never sleeps' is more and more prosperous.

hum!

The 'old man' was still thinking, two groups of lights lit up in the 'food hall'

what!

Immediately, the 'old man' laughed out loud.

This is where new 'Saints' appear.

Still two!

Really good!

It's getting better and better!

Thinking of this, the 'old man' stepped inside.

A boy, a girl.

The girl, he recognized and knew very well, was the daughter of 'Jin' and Lin: 'De De'.

Chong Dede blinked.

The 'old man' looked at the boy.

Son, what's your name?

Rick!

My name is Rick!

My teacher is 'Lian'!

Rick said excitedly.

Okay, Rick.

What did you choose... over-oiled meat?

The 'Old Man' reassured Rick.

'Lian', he knew, was a very serious and kind girl, and also a 'saint'.

Talent is pretty good.

Especially cooking.

It has been praised by many people.

Well, Teacher 'Lian' loves to eat 'oily meat', so I chose 'oily meat' - the 'oily meat' just now, when I ate it, I felt warm in my heart, like It's as delicious as the festive dinner that Teacher 'Lian' held for us on weekdays.

I also saw...

Light!

Is that 'Light' the Crown Prince?

Rick asked curiously.

Yes.

He is the crown.

Rick, now you come with me.

Becoming a saint requires some formalities.

Saying that, the 'old man' took Rick's hand, and when he wanted to hold Dede's hand, the little girl shook it coolly and walked to the side alone.

The 'old man' smiled and shook his head.

child.

There is always a period of rebellion.

Rick looked at Dede with envy.

However, as an obedient child, he still followed the guidance of the 'old man' and walked to the side.

Go through the long corridor.

Push open the heavy bronze door.

A small office appeared.

However, the office was empty.

Only one letter.

The 'old man' was stunned for a while. After picking up the letter and reading it carefully, his face suddenly became helpless.

Jason ran away again.

in the name of 'vacation'.

Rick, Dede, Your Majesty has very important things to do, so I can't see you for the time being, but when he comes back, he will definitely come to see you as soon as possible - I promise.

Facing the assurance of the 'old man', Rick nodded solemnly.

And Dede?

Some doubts.

Some guesswork.

In the end, it became cool again.

...

West coast, blue sea and blue sky.

Tanier, who was wearing big beach pants, was walking on the beach with sunscreen in his hand. From time to time, he saw a good-looking lady, so he rushed up and asked, Miss, do you need me to help you apply sunscreen? ’

result?

Usually spit.

Occasionally get slapped.

So, by the time Tanier returned to the parasol, he had already been fanned into a pig's head.

If it is known that the dean of Deer Academy is an LSP, many people's dreams will be shattered!

Jason teased.

If someone knows the source point of the 'gravekeeper' and the 'foodie', Jason, who is known as a god walking in the world, tries his best to restrain his strength and curl up on a certain beach to be a salted fish because he is afraid of marriage. I believe more people's dreams will be shattered as well.

Tanir fought back.

Jason was speechless and could only shrug.

Are you going to keep running away?

Tanier asked.

Not to escape.

It's just...not used to it.

Obviously I just treat them as friends.

Jason explained.

Scumbag!

Tanier commented.

It's not a scumbag, it's just that I'm not ready!

Jason explained again.

It's been so many years, let's make an excuse, old scumbag!

Tanier rolled his eyes.

Jason looked at Tanier and lay down on the beach chair completely deflated.

All right!

I admit!

I'm afraid of marriage!

Gods are also afraid of marriage?

Tanier was very curious.

The gods are still afraid of their wives--the last 'family dinner', when Mimosa suddenly laughed, I saw with my own eyes the eight guys shrinking their necks together.

It gave me a deeper fear of marriage.

You must know that Mimosa is the so-called god of 'stove' and 'spring water', and is a well-known god of goodness in the entire dimension.

If it were those guys...

I'm worried that I'll...

Jason grumbled.

The last words were inaudible.

Tanier drew two beers from the ice bucket on the side.

After throwing a bottle to Jason, he raised his hand.

Ding!

As soon as the beer bottle touched, the wine swayed with a cold breath in the crisp sound.

The sea breeze blows.

The sea in the distance made a sound of waves.

Sunshine, disperse.

The beer entered the stomach from the mouth, and in an instant, a sense of comfort rose from the bottom of Jason's heart.

Hoo, life!

Jason sighed loudly.

Then, he saw his friend stand up.

how?

Jason was taken aback.

Tanier raised his glass again with a smile, but this time, he didn't clink with Jason, just picked up the beer in his hand, and said in emotional words--

I wish you happiness!

Um?

Jason was taken aback.

For a moment, Jason felt wrong.

Subconsciously, I want to turn into light and run away.

However, several figures have surrounded him.

A pitiful, wide-eyed Denise like an abandoned 'pet'.

Arras, with his right hand resting on his left, his fists rattling.

The smiling 'pastry chef' Giselle (Evelyn).

Remain elegant, but every now and then a crazy Jennifer flashes in her eyes.

There is also Hui Lijing. At this time, Hui Lijing looked resentful, as if she was spurning Jason's goodbye.

And Tang Doubao, who was a little worried and wanted to pounce, but was too embarrassed to act alone.

Hi, hi... how come you are here?

You didn't even tell me when you came, so I didn't even have any preparations.

Jason laughed dryly.

Notice?

Will you run away?

Jennifer sneered.

how come?

I am……

boom!

Jason still wanted to explain that Arras had already punched Jason in the face.

Let you run! Let you run!

I've been looking for you for 1,312 years!

I'm going to hit you 1,312 punches!

Listening to Arras' words, Jason, who was planning to get up and continue running, lay there honestly, and let Arras' fist hit his face like a storm.

W-is this not a good thing?

Denise asked softly.

Aren't you angry? Have you forgotten to find his way on your own? And how did he do it?

Jennifer questioned.

Denise immediately raised her foot angrily and stomped Jason hard.

However, it is one foot.

Denise was a little reluctant to wait until the second kick.

Hui Lijing took a deep breath and slapped Jason heavily with the scabbard knife.

She was also very angry.

However, she only took two puffs when she saw the 'patissier' Jichel (Evelyn) silently take out the medicine box.

What's even more exaggerated is that Tang Doubao actually set up a barbecue grill, and is brushing the food with sauce and placing it on it.

you?

Don't worry about me, you guys continue, I'll bandage Jason in a while.

The 'Pastry Chef' smiled like an angel.

The owner must be hungry.

After so many years, I haven't forgotten to hone my cooking skills!

Tang Doubao is busy.

Jennifer frowned and looked at the 'pastry chef' and the tang doubao, who had backtracked.

It's clearly said, give Jason a lesson he will never forget.

Why did it suddenly change?

snort!

Bitchi!

Are you trying to show off to the bastard Jason?

You are a little short!

Jennifer touched her bulging belly, confident.

In the distance, Tanier watched this scene and couldn't help but stunned.

He seemed to have seen the miserable life of his friend.

But, he didn't regret it at all, and told these women where his friends were.

After all, he knew that if no one pushed him, his friend would probably find an excuse to continue to be an ostrich after a long time.

Even if one excuse runs out.

There will also be another excuse.

And among these women, even the kindest two will accumulate more grievances over a long period of time.

Not to mention, the grumpy and black-bellied, crazy ones.

After a long time, there may be some accidents.

It's obviously a good thing, but if it turns into a tragedy...

What a pity.

So, he has no regrets!

and……

It wasn't him who was beaten!

My brother and friend called me to drink soju, and I drank...

Tanier hummed and moved the beach chair to a better angle where he could clearly see Jason being beaten. Then, he picked up the beer in his hand and raised his glass to Jason from afar—

Come on, enjoy a long vacation!

Really...

good.
