48 Hours a Day Novel Chapter 357 - More Shacha Sauce In My Kway Teow

Chapter 357 More Shacha Sauce In My Kway Teow

There were only less than 30 hours left until Evil Scientist opened the space portal.

Zhang Heng and his team had co up to the Shangxiajiu Comrcial Pedestrian Streets. Located in Liwan District, a traditional business district in old Guangzhou, it stretched more than 300 ters. Featuring a whopping 300 shops offering a variety of food and rchandise, the place was always jam-packed with tourists from all corners of the world.

“How did you know he’s here? We’ve been suspecting that he must have plotted sothing after Vandal King disappeared. We even gathered a team to search for him, but unfortunately, we found nobody. His face is usually covered when he commits cris, and no one has seen how he really looks. He’s even more difficult to identify now, considering such a long ti has passed,” said the bald man.

“The reason why you can’t find him is that soone has been misleading you,” Zhang Heng chipped in.

When Zhang Heng entered the parallel dungeon, Vandal King had already disappeared for more than two years, and the master builders never stopped looking for him. He too participated in the search, and unlike the others, got so useful information, eventually discovering the whereabouts of Vandal King. However, since Vandal King had nothing to do with his main quest, Zhang Heng didn’t pursue the matter further.

Four years had passed since that ti, and Zhang Heng was unsure if he was still there, so he searched for the location with his mobile phone in the KTV.

“Misleading us, what do you an?” the waiter scratched his head as he walked over to Fla Girl. Then, he saw a figure not far away, and imdiately, his eyes lit up, “Ha, isn’t that Fla Girl?! Wow! I haven’t seen her for a long ti. Since Vandal King disappeared, she applied for retirent as well. I can’t tell you how happy I am to see these old faces again. Maybe we should ask her to co out of retirent and fight Evil Scientist with us. I still rember how her flas were so powerful, they disintegrated everything in this world.”

The five were outside the Chaoshan Kway Teow shop. The woman known as Fla Girl was busy wiping a table, not bothering to turn around even after hearing footsteps behind her.

“Co, sit, what would you like to eat?”

“Hi, Fla Girl, I didn’t know that you worked here. We are in trouble. Evil Scientist wants to destroy the city. We need your help. I’d also like a bowl of beef kway teow. Guess I’ll be hungry soon.”

The waiter grabbed a stool and sat down.

The sowhat familiar na shocked the woman who was wiping the table. This ti, she finally turned around. “Demon Butcher?” she gasped.

“And ...” the bald man ca over, “Long ti no see, old friend.”

“Sorry, who are you?” Fla Girl frowned.

The bald man covered the hairless part of his head with his palm.

“Oh, it’s you, the guy who’s been stalking Candy Baby! You need to improve your ability to pick gifts! How could a man give a girl Sophie as a gift?” “No, you got the wrong person. I’m just an ordinary passer-by watching the show,” the bald man said solemnly. “I was just about to introduce these two people beside . They are the chosen ones, and the one who doesn’t speak is ssenger.”

“Well, what brings you here?” Fla Girl asked as she put away the rags in her hand. “As I said, we need your help...” the waiter continued. “...and, can you put more Shacha sauce in my kway teow?”

“Sorry I can’t help you. As you can see, I am no longer a master builder. Now, I am an ordinary self-employed worker... and there is nothing wrong with the kway teow,” Fla Girl shrugged.

“Actually, we are not here for you,” said Zhang Heng.

“What do you an? Who else should we look for if our target isn’t her?!” the bald man asked.

Zhang Heng looked toward Fla Girl. “Aren’t you going to ask the chef to co out and et us?” he asked.

Fla Girl’s face changed slightly the mont she heard that.

“Who did you want to et again? I think you got the wrong person.”

As soon as she said that, though, the chef erged from the kitchen.

“Ah Kang isn’t back yet. Want

to pick him up? ...hey, we have custors.”

“Vandal King, I have wanted to et you for a long ti,” Zhang Heng said.

“Who? Vandal King... is here too?!” The bald man looked around curiously, but he didn’t see anyone that would interest him in the kway teow shop. After a while, his eyes finally moved to the plump white man in front of him.

“No way, you are saying that this guy is the Vandal King?! Impossible, this is the man who gave all the master builders so much trouble and terrified everyone in the whole city? He looks too, err... ordinary!”

“Ha! It’s been a long ti since soone called

by that na,” the fat chef scratched his head, automatically admitting to his true identity. “I was ignorant when I was young, and I wanted to be famous. To gain the attention of those around , I didn’t hesitate to turn myself into a public enemy. I also know that I caused you guys a lot of trouble, but after I got married, I finally understood what a man’s responsibility is supposed to be, especially after Fla Girl gave birth to our first child. We rented this shop and started this kway teow restaurant. Don’t worry; these years have truly reford . I haven’t opened a roll of tape for a very long ti. In fact, I almost forgot how to open it, haha!”

The waiter looked on in disbelief, shocked when he heard the Vandal King.

“This can’t be good. This ti, we are here to ask your help in dismantling sothing! Evil Scientist has built an army of bionics, and he’ll destroy the world in 28 hours. We can’t stop him with the few of us here... We need your help to destroy Evil Scientist!”

“Well... back then, I was really good at dismantling things. No one could do it better than , but now, I am just an ordinary cook in a kway teow shop. I can’t do what I used to anymore.”

In an attempt to prove his claims, Vandal King deliberately picked up a small bench beside him. Three minutes had passed, and he couldn’t even remove the stool’s leg. Everyone present clearly saw that he wasn’t putting up an act. Even after trying really hard, he failed the task in the end. It was a shocking outco, a deterioration of skills that had never been seen before this.

“Look, it’s not that I don’t want to help you guys, but I’ve lost my ability! If it is possible, I wish to make up for my mistakes and contribute to saving the world, but I am sorry, I’m not the person you’re looking for anymore. When one loses sothing, he gains sothing back too. Although I have lost my amazing dismantling ability, I have acquired excellent cooking skills. You must try my kway teow. I’m not bragging, but this is probably the best kway teow within ten-miles. Since you are all old friends of Fla Girl, how does a 50% discount sound? I will only charge fifty RMB for all five of you. I’ll even throw in two beef atballs each. I guarantee they are so springy that your mouth will tingle!”
