Ma Lu had finally figured out the ins and outs of the situation, why the tiny Pink Whale Smuggling Group dared to ss with the most troubleso Dinsional Pirates in the Multiverse.
Previously, Lao Hei had been driven to a dead end several tis and had almost died, but he still refused to hand over that bread machine.
It turned out there were untouchable big shots involved.
However, even though Lao Hei and everyone on the Pink Whale tried their best, they eventually lost the bread machine.
Ma Lu patted Lao Hei on the shoulder and consoled him, "What's done is done, overthinking is pointless, let's eat first."
Right after he spoke, Ma Youyou had already served the first appetizer—Braised Ape Finger.
This ti Lao Hei was quite generous, directly paying 10,000 Star Currency, so of course, Ma Lu had to give him so real delicacies.
However, he hadn't had ti to study the nus for this price range before, so he could only rummage through the stock in the freezer, using whatever ingredients were expensive.
Like this Braised Ape Finger, which used fingers from a 7-star ingredient, the Six-ard Ancient Ape. Ma Lu had gone through a lot of trouble dealing with this beast initially.
The ingredients he brought back never found soone who appreciated (and could afford) them until Lao Hei threw down 10,000 Star Currency this ti, asking for one last al, causing Ma Lu to finally take it out.
Even though it was only minimally processed, the Deliciousness Index of this Braised Ape Finger still reached ★★★★★★☆, once again setting a new record for the Universe Infinite Canteen's food chart.
The rich aty aroma quickly filled the entire restaurant, causing Lady Cheng at the neighboring table to look over several tis.
So she changed her mind and called out to Ma Lu, "Boss, what dish is that, give one too."

"Sure, 3,000 Star Currency."
Hearing this number, Lady Cheng was montarily stunned, she wasn't unfamiliar with als in this price range; when her husband hadn't been caught yet, she often visited the Cosmic Chef's restaurant with her close friends to taste various delicacies.
It was normal for them to spend a few thousand, even ten thousand Star Currency on a al, and there were plenty of businessn hoping to court her husband who vied to pay the bill.
However, with her husband's downfall, they were now fugitives, most of their fixed assets frozen, carrying only so valuables as they fled hastily, and most of that had been paid to smugglers for boat tickets.
Lady Cheng had also arrived on Earth aboard the Pink Whale, and to think in less than a year, the Pink Whale was no more.
"Oh, I almost forgot, I'm on a diet lately, my coach told to cut down on fat intake, I'll just stick with my salad then."
Though she missed her past lavish life, Lady Cheng had to accept reality and picked cheaper dishes instead, but of course, she couldn't lose face, so she quickly made up an excuse.
anwhile, Lao Hei didn't care anymore, hugging that Ancient Ape finger and started gnawing on it, considering the Ancient Ape's size, it was actually a bit bigger than a pig's trotter.
Lao Hei soon had his mouth dripping with oil, and since the at of the Six-ard Ancient Ape was chewier than pork, his chewing sounds were loud.
Not to ntion Lady Cheng nearby, even Ma Lu was finding it hard to withstand, so he had Old Wang help braise another one, planning to eat it himself once he was less busy.
Besides the Braised Ape Finger, the dishes Ma Youyou served next like Fried Burdock and Stir-fried Celery also used 6-star ingredients, soon followed by an even more magnificent dish, Okra Stir-fried with Leopard at.
This dish used two types of 7-star ingredients jointly, Sticky Okra and Golden Leopard, the powerful combination resulted in a Deliciousness Index of ★★★★★★★☆, earning one more star than the earlier Braised Ape Finger.
It instantly made the vegetable salad in front of Lady Cheng feel less appealing.
Actually, her Sara also used 4- and 5-star Energized Plants to make food, and the flavor wasn't bad, but it just couldn't compare with the last al Lao Hei was having, which was truly sumptuous.
However, Lao Hei's mood was also very complicated now. Every ti he thought of Sir M's terrifying thods, his mood would beco heavier when tasting the delicacies.
Just as Ma Lu was considering which dish on the nu could bring happiness, there was suddenly a knock on the door.
Tonight, there were no more guests on Universe Infinite Canteen's roster.
Initially, Ma Lu thought it might be Boss Wang from Love Ho Grocery across the street, coming again to sip so Cat Urine Beer, or perhaps it was an ordinary guest who still hadn't lost hope and wanted to try their luck with a knock.
However, upon opening the door, Ma Lu's body stiffened.
Standing before him was a Sli wearing a Bull Horn Helt, and it was twice the size of the ones he had seen before, radiating a golden glow. It was clearly not an ordinary sli.
Ma Lu's first reaction was to call the Female Sorceress, but he feared that his gesture of reaching for his phone might be misunderstood by the Golden Sli across the door.
Furthermore, considering this was a conflict between Sir M and the Dinsional Pirates within the Pink Whale Smuggling Group, this leader of the Dinsional Pirates had likely co looking for Lao Hei.
Following the principle of not letting a companion die in place of oneself, Ma Lu silently stepped aside.
From behind him ca Lady Cheng's voice, "Who's co this ti? It seems your little restaurant does quite a good business..."
She didn't finish her sentence before she let out a scream upon clearly seeing who had co.
Lao Hei had been focusing on dealing with the plate of fried okra and leopard at. Upon looking up and seeing the unwelco visitor, her face imdiately turned pale, and she dropped her chopsticks in fright.
With a trembling voice she stamred, "But... you guys already took the toaster, why have you co back?"
The Golden Sli did not answer her. Dinsional Pirates typically didn't speak.
It just wobbled from the door, walking past the shivering Lao Hei and Lady Cheng, who was continuously releasing auditory attacks and even eventually passed out from fright.
During this, it didn't glance at them even once, just went straight into the kitchen.
If not for the faint trail of sli left on the floor, everything that had just happened would seem like a bizarre dream.
But shortly after, Ma Lu's face changed, "Old Wang!"
After shouting those two words, he too dashed into the kitchen.
Ma Lu was worried the golden Dinsional Pirate might harm Old Wang, but as he grabbed the scarf given to him by the Wandering Sorcerer and rushed into the kitchen.
He saw Old Wang still leisurely bustling around the stove. anwhile, the Valkyrie People, perhaps unused to seeing Dinsional Pirates, didn't seem too perturbed.
Even a few dwarves were circling around the Golden Sli.
"How did you get in here? This is the kitchen; it's the Chef's domain. Except for those of us working here like this, other guests are not allowed inside."
The Golden Sli seed to understand their words and actually took a small step back, but still didn't leave, staring in the direction of the oven.
