Capítulo 14: Chapter 14: Undead Monarch
Question, how does a skeleton eat at a buffet? Waiting online, pretty urgent!
Chen Ze almost wished he could post this question on some forum, to consult a variety of netizens.
Chen Ze took out his phone and glanced at it, just as expected, the fragile 4G signal had once again vanished without a trace.
"Sigh, forget it. Anyway, let's just serve it first," Chen Ze shook his head, standing there, the situation left him no time to think of a solution.
After all, once I serve it, whether you can eat it or not is your problem.
Chen Ze thought irresponsibly to himself, then placed the buffet in front of the skeleton, who was already sitting at the table.
The skeleton silently regarded the strange dish before it, sure that it had never eaten anything like it, even though among its undead underlings were quite a few chefs.
"Exotic food." The skeleton picked up a spoon, scooped some, and put it in its mouth.
"Plop" the soft ice cream dropped onto the table.
Chen Ze couldn't bear to look and covered his face, as expected, it had leaked out directly.
Laughter, trying to be contained, came from the kitchen, indicating that Chen Xingchen had also been paying close attention to the situation here.
The skeleton made no reaction, but simply waved its hand, and a bright flash later, the skeleton turned into a gloomy man.
His grey pupils looked ominously at Chen Ze, but as far as Chen Ze was concerned, this was infinitely better than the skeleton form.
The skeleton, now in human form, scooped another spoonful of buffet, strawberries and all, and popped it into his mouth.
And then, he revealed a look of satisfaction.
"It's been many years since I've had such a distinctive dish."
Just then, the door was pushed open again, Chen Ze looked over; it was a familiar face.
"Owner, the usual..." Sebastian's gaze fell on the undead patron occupying a corner of the restaurant, eating the buffet.
"By the Dragon God, Undead Monarch Stan? What brings you here?" Sebastian looked tense, his tail flicking uneasily.
Chen Ze looked back at Stan, he had suspected the skeleton was someone important, but this was unexpected.
Sebastian was a Black Dragon, yet he seemed to fear this dreary old man.
"I'm beginning to wonder if my magic portal is only programmed to show up near VIPs?" Chen Ze couldn't help but comment dryly.
Stan glanced at Sebastian without a word and continued with his buffet; he was very pleased with the taste.
Sebastian's face turned from pale to flushed, torn between staying and scurrying back to his lair.
But magic portals didn't appear every day, and Sebastian didn't want to miss out on the delicious food.
Sebastian cautiously cast another glance at Stan, choosing a spot closest to the door, and settled down there.
"Owner, a buffet and a light cheesecake, please," Sebastian requested in a particularly soft voice, but Chen Ze took note of it.
Stan finished his buffet, sitting quietly in his chair, completely disregarding Sebastian's gaze.
"Owner, I am very satisfied with this buffet, bring me twenty more," Stan said, prompting Chen Ze to nearly trip over.
Sebastian looked at Stan with a strange expression, being a creature from a negative plane, he obviously knew the kind of undead Stan was.
Powerful, solitary, reticent, and only interested in increasing his own strength, he was among the strongest of the Undead Monarchs.
However, exactly because of this, Stan rarely wasted time on anything other than cultivation.
"Where is Lord Stan?"
"If he's not cultivating, he's on his way to cultivate." This was a widely spread saying from the negative planes.
Maybe Sebastian's gaze was just too conspicuous, Stan turned his head to look at him.
"Little Black Dragon, I haven't forgotten about your last visit here," Stan's tone was full of threat.
"Golden Dragon Riesel isn't here this time, do you think you can leave alive?" Stan's grim face looked particularly oppressive.
Sebastian's dragon scales stood on end, in a one-on-one duel, he, Sebastian, would really be squished into a dragon meat pie by this old bone, and then turned into an undead dragon.
But just then, Chen Ze brought out several servings of Buffet and a light cheesecake.
Without any hesitation, Stan turned back and continued enjoying the Buffet.
As for Sebastian? No rush, he has plenty of time and means to deal with this weak Black Dragon.
Sebastian was close to crying, he ate the light cheesecake and Buffet as quickly as possible, dropped a few Gold Coins, and hurried off.
Chen Ze appeared helpless as he had been planning to discuss with Sebastian whether he could try to bring some ingredients back from another world next time, but he hadn't expected the other party to run off so quickly.
Stan didn't pay attention and continued eating the Buffet, he hadn't been this satisfied in a very long time.
Curious, Chen Ze went back to the kitchen and casually took the three Gold Coins Sebastian had left with him.
Chen Xingchen's face was filled with surprise, she touched the shiny Gold Coins with her hand, confirming they were not chocolate made to look like Gold Coins.
"Brother, you really surprised me this time," Chen Xingchen walked a circle around Chen Ze as if she was seeing him for the first time.
Chen Ze rolled his eyes, he didn't want to engage in his sister's conversation.
"That customer just now?" Chen Xingchen had of course seen the tail behind the customer, and she had heard Stan's words as well.
"Yes, the second customer, the wealthy Dragon." Chen Ze didn't mention the other's additional identity, the ambergris-producing machine.
If he mentioned ambergris, he would have to explain, and if his sister, Chen "Holmes" Xingchen, discovered something amiss, he would be in big trouble.
That's two million gone, and Chen Ze couldn't possibly reveal that he had a System.
"However, we can't really use these Gold Coins, can we?" Chen Xingchen picked up the coins and looked them over, certain that Chen Ze could not deal with them.
"Sigh, yes, Gold Coins like these, with no documents to prove their legality, nobody would buy them." Chen Ze felt a bit depressed when he brought up this issue, a restaurant that only has expenses and no income definitely couldn't last long.
"There will sure be a solution, you just haven't thought of it yet, brother, and the customers from other worlds, surely they have unique goods." Chen Xingchen thought of some solutions.
Chen Ze rolled his eyes, showing he didn't want to talk, and continued making Buffet, as Stan had ordered twenty servings.
Chen Xingchen watched for a while and then began to help Chen Ze with the task, which was quite simple for her.
Chen Ze looked at the Buffet that Chen Xingchen helped to make and was taken aback, he suddenly felt that his sister might just be the Empress of Europa.
