New Century Kitchen Warrior

Chapter 142 Towards the Street Light

Even if Unit-01 is completed, subsequent mobile phones will be updated based on it.

After checking its performance, Lei Ye breathed a sigh of relief, and his highly concentrated mind finally relaxed.

Only then did he notice that Grady had unconsciously moved very close to him, her eyes sparkling.

Seeing him turn his head, the other party also came to his senses and immediately handed him a glass of water.

"Boss Lei Lei, I think we can go back to the reception room and talk. I have something academic to discuss with you."

The tone is weird.

Lei Ye took the water and drank it all. "I heard that Angli bought something from you? How did you sell it? Do you have a supermarket or... If you have one, can you let me see it?"

Grady thought about it, stood up, and said, "Okay, follow me."

It was indeed a supermarket. The place where Grady brought Lei Ye was behind the Moko Castle. There was a hole in one of the walls, and a maid was working as a signboard here.

There wasn't a single customer, and the maid looked bored, the kind of person who's so used to slacking off that she didn't bother to act even if the boss suddenly showed up.

Looking at the shelves on the wall at the back, there were some small gadgets hanging on them, which were also various magic props. Lei Ye was not as fascinated by magic props as Gretty, so he did not have an urgent desire to get his hands on them. He just watched from a distance and nodded.

"Business is slow." Lei Ye looked around.

The ground beneath their feet was thoughtfully replaced with stone slabs that would not turn into mud even on rainy days, but there were only two guests, Lei Ye and Gretty, on the slabs.

"Because the location is too far away, it takes two days to walk from the Demon King's City. It would be much faster to take a wormhole, but the wormhole is too fragile. It will break immediately if attacked. It will also break slowly if used too much. It is too troublesome to maintain. So it was only prepared for Buyadi because she spent money."

Yes, there is also the thing called wormhole.

However, according to Graty's description, wormholes do not seem to be suitable for escaping, otherwise there is a high probability that one will be buried alive underground.

"Why don't you open a store in Demon King's City?" Lei Ye asked again.

"The rent is expensive," Grady sighed, "especially because of Buyadi's policy. It's cheap for ordinary demons to buy houses, open shops or set up stalls, but high-level demons have to pay high taxes if they want to buy the same things. Buyadi said something about protecting the small demons, but I think she just wants to rob me of my money." The lamenting voice was even a little sad.

"Of course, I also spent a huge amount of money to open a small shop in Demon King City, otherwise it would be impossible. However, due to the limited space, the things that can be sold are also limited. I just put the popular goods there. Some special things or customized products must be traded in Magic Castle."

Lei Ye glanced at Greti.

The information Grady provided was just the kind of information that could be found out through some casual investigation, but it was enough.

Maybe we can try some new tricks this week.

Yuzu Fort.

This place was even a little unfamiliar to Lei Ye.

He rode the will-o'-the-wisp from Moko Castle to Demon King's Castle, a process that took less than half an hour. The moment he saw the will-o'-the-wisp, Gretty was so shocked that he said in a roundabout way that he wanted to try riding it. After feeling the speed, he looked so excited as if he had reached a superb level. Lei Ye walked from Demon King's Castle to Yuzu Castle, and Gretty followed him, walking for the entire day.

Lei Ye's purpose was to measure the land under his feet, but he didn't know why Grady kept following him. Maybe she wanted to show that she was willing to suffer with him, so good brother, if you have any good things, don't hide them. She even stopped the work in her hands temporarily.

There was some chaos in Yuzu Castle, which was very different from Moko Castle, because those unreliable maids did not do their housework very well. But it didn't matter, these maids might be eliminated soon, or become just vases. Lei Ye walked through the hall and went straight to the studio.

The configurations of each castle are almost the same. Yuzu Castle naturally also has a studio, but it is a bit empty inside. After entering the room, Lei Ye took out all the tools in the storage bag and there was no need to put them back. From now on, this is the rice company's initial production base.

Lei Ye is planning to come up with some new tricks to quickly open up the scorched earth market.

At this time, someone appeared quietly and stood beside Lei Ye.

In the past, Lei Ye always felt that this person could disappear in an instant, but with Lei Ye's current keenness, he would find that she was just using some kind of magic to reduce her presence. If he was alert enough, he would be able to discover her presence.

Ms. Yuna.

This personal assassin was ordered to train Kun-Lai, so she was separated from Buyadi for a short time. Her silent expression at this time seemed to be saying, where is my master?

"Buyadi went over there to play by herself. We had some minor frictions, you know."

Lei Ye told a white lie and tried to act like two young lovers who had just had a small quarrel.

Yuna was a little suspicious when she heard this, but she soon calmed down. She was just like Lei Ye at the beginning. In her mind, Buyadi was invincible and no one could hurt her, so there was naturally nothing to worry about.

At this moment, Lei Ye had an idea.

He stood up suddenly from the bench and looked at Yuna with wide eyes.

Yuna felt a little uneasy at this inexplicable gaze.

"Okay. Very good! Miss Yuna, let me ask you a question. How many assassins like you are there?"

I vaguely remember there was a team of assassins, but it was too long ago.

After a moment of silence.

"a lot of."

"So what are they usually busy with? If there is no particularly urgent task, can I let them come here to help? No, I will pay them for the work, and I will not assign them particularly dangerous work." Lei Ye asked.

This time Yuna's reply was quick and crisp.

"can."

"That's right! When can you call them over as soon as possible?"

"immediately."

After a quick conversation, she stepped back from the room and disappeared.

Lei Ye watched her leave, then rolled up his sleeves and started to work.

After arriving at Yuzu Castle, Grady just followed Lei Ye silently, sitting obediently in a corner of the studio. She came over curiously when she saw Lei Ye start working, but after looking for a while, she frowned and showed a puzzled expression.

At this time, what Lei Ye made was too disappointing.

It's called protective gear, but its defensive power is no different from that of paper ones.

Although it is a decoration, the shape is not good-looking and even a bit funny.

There are no traces of magic, which shows that it is not a magic item.

Lei Ye mass-produced dozens of them in one go. Although making such things is cheap and simple, Grady doesn't think such things can be sold.

Of course she couldn't understand it, because these were not products, but part of the flower business.

However, after that, Greti was amazed by what Lei Ye made. Lei Ye rubbed a magical will-o'-the-wisp out of his hands on the spot. Greti said nothing, and her eyeballs moved at high speed along with Lei Ye's fast-moving hands. Finally, she gave up, not because she couldn't keep up with Lei Ye's operation, but because this thing itself was beyond her scope. She could replicate or copy some of the small toys made by Lei Ye, but she couldn't make them to this level of complexity.

In addition, that precise and fast hand was really enviable. Grady couldn't help but look at her own palm. This palm was a little rough, not like the hand of a noble girl. Of course, she didn't regard herself as a noble, but she didn't regard herself as a prominent person when working. She was not polite when doing her work, but the proficiency of this hand that had gone through a lot of labor was still far behind Lei Ye.

"How come your hands are so fast?" Grady couldn't help but ask.

"I'll tell you if you take off your shoes." Lei Ye answered immediately. ?

Grady was confused and didn't know what this meant.

But it was not an excessive request. After hesitating for a moment, Grady decided to do as she was told. She found a stool to sit down and casually took off her black leather boots with her fingers. She flexed her toes and glanced at Lei Ye, waiting for him to throw a pair of slippers over to her and to step on them while waiting for him to answer her question.

However, Lei Ye just glanced at Greti's toes, twitched his nostrils and walked away. When Greti was becoming more and more confused, he came back slowly with something in his hand.

That's a Nedorei.

And Lei Ye, the man who always gave Greti a careless impression, showed a very gentle attitude for the first time. He placed Nadori on the table with gentle movements, and casually hooked her branches and leaves. It was more like flirting than playing with the plants he planted. The most difficult thing was that Nadori was also using branches and leaves to tease Lei Ye. The little thing clearly couldn't make any expression, but Greti saw some charm in it.

But when Nadori turned her head towards Greti, she was not charming. She waved her branches with a hint of hostility.

Greti grinned at her, meaning that a little thing like you dared to show off your power to the great sinner? She was too much of a bully, but she also had a strange feeling, not because this Nadori was obviously more energetic than the ordinary Nadori, but because she felt that she looked familiar.

She shook her head and looked at Lei Ye.

"So? What's your answer?"

"I've already given the answer." Lei Ye said without even raising his head.

Grady felt that her brain was not working well because she had been working overtime for too many days. Since Lei Ye came to visit her, she had been surprised and confused more and more frequently. Now she even started to forget things. When did Lei Ye give her the answer?
But when she looked up and saw Nadori again, she couldn't help but frown, realizing that things were not that simple.

Looking at Lei Ye's hand movements, sometimes he held the trachea and wiped it at high speed, and sometimes he inserted his fingers into it and quickly applied the engine oil. Grady clamped her legs together in awe.

"Then what's the point of taking off your shoes?" she asked stiffly.

"Oh, it's nothing. I just found that the boots that Buyadi hadn't taken off for three days did have a bit of smell. Although I don't mind it, I always thought that beautiful girls didn't have smell, so I felt a little uncomfortable. Just now, I suddenly remembered that you also walked in those leather boots for a day, so I opened the lid to test it, and there was indeed a little bit of smell. The black stockings were slightly moist. When I thought that a beautiful girl like you would also have sweaty feet, it was not Buyadi's problem. I felt balanced in my heart. Thank you."

Grady put on her shoes silently with a sullen look on her face.

High-level demons usually pay a lot of attention to their status when they are not that familiar with each other, but there are also a small number of outliers who never pay attention to this, such as some devils. Grady thinks that Lei Ye might be from the faction of Buyadi's second uncle.

There are different versions of the Magic Will-O-Wisp. For example, he spent some time designing the initial version, which was the limited edition. Later, in order to save time, he just made a few things that could just run, which was the castrated beggar version. Later, Lei Ye's craftsmanship became more and more proficient, and he could produce qualified products with basic functions in the shortest time. This is called the mass-produced version.

One car every half an hour. Just when Lei Ye had made six or seven in a row, Yuna came back.

Her full breasts rose and fell slightly, and it seemed that she was gathering the assassins as quickly as possible. The assassins who rushed in from behind her seemed to be of the same race as Yuna. They were all beauties with a faint cold temperament. However, the various professional attire they were wearing did not match such a temperament at all. The one standing in the front wearing a chef's hat and holding a spatula dripping with oil in her hand, seemed to have just run all the way from the kitchen.

"Hello, I am"

The chef had a cold face but acted very enthusiastically. After noticing that Lei Ye was looking at her, she immediately stepped forward and extended her hand to Lei Ye.

"No need to introduce yourself, we are all family."

Lei Ye interrupted her hastily. If such a large group of people started introducing themselves, he would have to memorize a bunch of names, which he was too lazy to remember.

The other party had no choice but to give up and just said, "I heard that you are a very good chef. Please be sure to exchange cooking skills with me if there is a chance."

Lei Ye didn't take it seriously and quickly took a look at these people. From their attire, he could tell that each of them had special skills. Lei Ye guessed that the job of Scorched Earth Assassin was not popular, so the assassin ladies who were not needed by Buyadi and had difficulty getting work relied on various side jobs to make a living. They would only gather when Buyadi needed them to help her look good.

So when Yuna heard there was work to do, she went out immediately and called these people over.

Lei Ye nodded, expressing his satisfaction. This showed that there was plenty of cheap labor in Jiaotu!

"Yuna, step out!"

At this time, Lei Ye had already stood on the table. In order to appear more imposing in front of a group of tall girls, Yuna hesitated for a moment and took a step forward.

"Before Buyadi comes back, you will listen to my arrangements. Of course, I will not let you do anything that is not good for Buyadi. This is just a request from you as Buyadi's lover, or an invitation to work, because I will pay you a salary. Do you agree?"

"no problem."

When Lei Ye asked this question, he also dispelled all of Yuna's doubts and would not do anything that would be detrimental to Buyadi. Buyadi's lover also had a salary. As Buyadi's personal assassin, when Buyadi wanted to play freely for a few days, it would be okay for her to temporarily obey this man.

"That's great!" Lei Ye applauded, "Then I declare that Yuna will be appointed as the Minister of Transportation of Rice Technology Co., Ltd., with a monthly salary of one small gold coin!"

No one understood words like company and minister, but the assassin ladies understood the phrase "monthly salary of a small gold coin". They looked at Yuna with envy and clapped their hands.

Lei Ye bent down slightly, holding what he had just made, and Yuna took another step forward, following his movements, like a knight accepting his investiture ceremony.

Even a woman like Yuna, who could remain calm even in the face of a landslide, blushed a little at this moment. Of course, it was not because she had been running and bumping all the way, nor because she was shy, but because she had not received any commendations as a personal assassin of Buyadi, who was obsessed with hard work. The biggest reward she had received was a pat on the head. But now all her people were looking at her with envy, making her feel recognized. She was the most useful person! She was the Minister of Transportation!

But what is the Department of Transportation?
Yuna touched her head and saw a yellow helmet put on her head by Lei Ye.

This thing really destroyed her temperament, making the killer who had never had any emotions become even a little silly, but Yuna had a premonition that the new job that Rayno was going to give them had nothing to do with killing, so it didn't matter to her.

"As for you, if you are willing, you will be members of the Transportation Department in the future, with a monthly salary of five large silver coins!" Lei Ye looked at the others.

The assassin ladies' breathing paused.

Five big silver coins! Five!

The assassin clan - the Moon Clan.

This unique demon tribe is particularly good at transformation magic and can quickly hide their voices. It is said that the leader of this tribe, "Arrogant", can even break into the royal city at night and urinate on Gagang's throne. When Gagang smells a strange smell the next day, she has already quietly escaped.

But the girls of the Moon Clan only know the skills of killing. In the peaceful Demon King's City, it is difficult for them to find suitable jobs as they are not good at daily skills.

I couldn't even imagine a job that paid five dollars a month.

A ragged, thin girl wiped her tears but did not dare to speak. After a moment's silence, the girl holding the spatula carefully raised the question on everyone's mind.

"But I don't know what you want us to do. We are good at killing people, but I have never heard of the Ministry of Transportation. I don't know if we are qualified for the job you want us to do."

"Don't worry, it will definitely work. Just run," Lei Ye smiled, took out another helmet and stretched out his hand, "and I believe in you and your abilities, as long as you are willing to give it a try."

The girl took a deep breath, put away the spatula, and mustered up the courage to step forward.

"Then let me try. Um. What's your name?"

Lei Ye carefully put the helmet on her.

"Just call me Mr. Lei."

As he spoke, Lei Ye took out five large silver coins from his storage bag and handed them to the girl.

"This is your advance salary. Go back and quit your job without worries."

"Okay, Mr. Lei!" The girl was startled when she saw the coins in her hand, and then a look of joy appeared on her face.

The indifferent girls were all very excited, whispered a few words, and then consciously lined up behind the girl holding the spatula.

Only the skinny Moon Clan girl at the back felt her legs go limp, and she sat sideways on the ground, tears streaming down her face.

"It's been too long since anyone wanted to work for me. I couldn't eat two meals in three days. I was starving. Then I met you. Oh my God, how can I repay Mr. Lei's kindness?"
