Chapter 9: Chickens Who Love Roast Chicken
After leaving the clothing store, the two little ones had changed into brand new clothes, which were lantern-shaped puffy skirts with an otherworldly style. Although they were not as good-looking as before, they were new after all.

Ji Xiaofei gave her an extra wide ribbon tied around her waist to cover her emerging wings. She also gave Taohu a beret to make her big ears less obvious, and her tail was hidden under the fluffy lantern skirt.

In addition to clothes, they were also given new sets of underwear, socks and shoes.

Although they were all cheap items, it still cost a lot of money, and Yaluo also gave up the idea of buying himself another set of clothes.

After changing their clothes, fewer people noticed them on the street.

It was already night, and the colorful crystal lights on the signboard lit up, giving this other world a bit of the bright lights and nightlife of a modern city.

"Well, which restaurant should we choose for dinner?"

Yaluo chose the restaurant very carefully. After all, this was a reward banquet after he had done a job, and he had been eating wild vegetable and fish soup for so many days, so he had to choose a restaurant that was absolutely delicious and satisfying, except for the grilled fish.

"Yaluo, that smells so good, I want to eat that!" Ji Xiaofei pulled the corner of Yaluo's clothes and pointed to a restaurant not far away.

Ya Luo took a look and said to Ji Xiaofei, "That's a roast chicken shop."

"Really? No wonder it smells so good." Ji Xiaofei became even more excited.

So what was she afraid of before?

"Forget it, since you don't mind, roast chicken is fine too."

It was already late and he was very hungry, so Yalu simply chose the roast chicken restaurant.

This shop was doing pretty good business. It was bustling with activity once we entered. The young female clerk, wearing an apron and a square headscarf, held a large glass of ale in each hand. She was so busy that she just casually greeted them with a "welcome" when they came in.

There was a seat in the corner. Not long after I sat down, the shop assistant came running over in a hurry with a notebook.

"What would you like to order?"

"Roasted chicken, roasted chicken, fried chicken, crispy chicken~" Ji Xiaofei said as she looked at the menu.

Yaluo held her head and said to the clerk, "One roast chicken, one grilled chicken, a dozen toasts, a glass of ale, two glasses of apple juice, and a salad."

"Okay, please wait." The clerk wrote it down and left.

Ji Xiaofei sat in her seat waiting expectantly.

"Yalo, what is that?" Taohu said, pointing to a piece of glass-like object hanging on the wall of the store.

"That's a crystal projector. In this world, there's a type of crystal that can record images. It can be polished into discs and then projected through a specially manufactured projector. It can show images like dramas, horse racing, boxing matches, and so on."

It is the television in this world, but it only has the function of playing discs. This thing has only become popular in recent years. The clever use of the photographic crystal and the extremely clear photographic characteristics have allowed this world to skip the technological point of chemical cameras and directly enter the digital age.

But it is also a luxury product. Even without the projector, a crystal disc is almost equal to half a month's income of an average family. Only the middle class and above can afford it.

Yaluo’s dream in the past was to buy a crystal projector. Please, it would be so cool to be able to watch TV in another world!

"Oh, so that's how it is. We have never encountered this kind of magic weapon before. It's really rare." Taohu said.

The crystal projector is also a way for some restaurants and pubs to make money. Some people have spare money and want to show off. In addition to buying drinks for everyone, they also rent the projector so that everyone can enjoy the exciting horse racing or boxing matches in the pub restaurant.

But today we don't seem to be so lucky, it doesn't look like anyone is willing to invite us to watch a movie.

The food they ordered was served, two large fat roast chickens with beautiful reddish-brown skin, brushed with honey. After being cut open, the stew stuffed inside flowed out, with a sweet taste mixed with the fragrance of chicken, which made Yaluo's hungry stomach twitch.

The roast chicken is baked in a hanging oven, with crispy skin, full of juice, crispy outside and tender inside, and very fragrant.

After being tired for so many days, I finally had a good meal. Without any further ado, I tore open a piece of chicken and started eating.

The delicious chicken, paired with freshly baked soft bread and a glass of ale, finally made Yaluo feel alive again. Taohu and Ji Xiaofei were also very satisfied with the food, and both of them ate until their mouths were full of oil.

While he was enjoying his meal, Yaluo pricked up his ears when the conversation of the passenger in the back seat started:

"Another person died? Where did you meet him?"

"Outside the city, by the river, a little before Huck's stable. I heard there was a woman washing clothes."

"Hey, these security guys are really just for show. They haven't caught a bear in so many days."

"Don't underestimate that bear. I heard it can do magic!"

"A bear that can do magic? How is that possible?"

"Hey, there's even a pig that can sign documents! What's a bear that can do magic?"

"What is a pig that signs documents?"

"The Lord Mayor of Haidar! He's as fat as a pig. Damn, BYD is going to increase the beer tax again."

Yaluo took a swig of beer and listened to their conversation.

"A bear that can do magic? That's really rare, but it makes sense in this world. After all, there are chickens that love to eat chicken."

He thought as he looked at Ji Xiaofei who was eating a big chicken leg with relish.

All the plates on the table were cleared away. Taohu and Ji Xiaofei touched their round bellies, lay comfortably in their seats, and showed happy expressions.

"With such delicious food in the world, it's really a waste to practice Taoism and fasting." Taohu's voice softened.

"Yeah, but my meat tastes better." Ji Xiaofei also spoke softly.

"Can you please stop making such bizarre remarks?" Yaluo pinched Ji Xiaofei's soft face.

After eating and drinking, I returned to the street. The most important thing now was to find a hotel, take a comfortable hot bath, and then have a good sleep.

Yaluo had been to Haider City several times and walked towards the hotel he was familiar with.

They walked through a night market street, where vendors selling all kinds of goods were lining both sides of the road, their shouts rising one after another.

"All kinds of high-quality alchemical potions! Now on sale for only 3 Dhaka a bottle!"

"Platinum Knight co-branded armor! Only 10 Sik a set! It even comes with a spirit ring!"

"The best swords collected from every village! They're all here!"

"The familiar has been summoned! 3 gold lances to summon once! Ten summons will definitely yield an SSR-level familiar!"

"My wife asked me why I was so fierce tonight. It turns out it was because of this."

Since this kind of night market does not require a business license, the counterfeit rate is very high, but there are also many lucky people who can get great bargains. Because everyone thinks that they are the lucky ones, the business here is very hot.

Yaluo had been cheated once before. He was deceived into buying an egg that was said to be a Fiery-Winged Eagle cub, saying that it could hatch a powerful magical beast, the Fiery-Winged Eagle. However, he took it home and incubated it for more than a month, and a gray rabbit crawled out. It did nothing but eat cabbage every day. Now it has grown to 40 kilograms and recently bit off one of his table legs.

Being cheated out of money would have been fine, but he spent months thinking about it and still couldn't figure out why rabbits hatched from eggs.

He stopped shopping at the night market after that.
