Gentleman's Night Canteen

After the misunderstanding was resolved, although her views on Lan Meng were not as extreme as they were at the beginning, she was still full of vigilance towards Lan Meng because of Lan Meng and Lysa's seemingly intimate behavior;

But now seeing that Lan Meng gave up a huge sum of money without hesitation, she had to admit this man...

She will never admit it! !

Looking at Kolotia who was looking at her with an admiring expression just now but suddenly puffed up, Lan Meng couldn't help but sigh.

"Girls are really hard to understand~"

But fortunately, although the other party was a little angry, her personal emotions did not affect her professional ability at all.

"Mr. Lan Meng, I don't think I have explained to you exactly what kind of huge sum of money this is. Although this kind of 'healing snack' cannot completely replace the 'healing potion', and our chamber of commerce cannot immediately complete the distribution in various countries." goods, but even this is definitely higher than the income of your current restaurant..."

Seeing Krodia trying to explain to herself 'how valuable this is', Lan Meng couldn't help laughing.

Of course, this laugh was definitely not a joke that the other party didn't understand the real power of this restaurant, nor was it a joke that the other party underestimated his concentration, but because he found that the girl in front of him who was hostile to him when he met was actually Also a very interesting girl.

Although he can be sure that the other party did this not for himself, but for Lysa, but he still doesn't hate the other party.

After all, there is no perfect person in this world. Although the other party was a little rude to him before, he has already apologized to him after the misunderstanding was resolved.

Compared with the little misunderstanding before, Lan Meng appreciated the "friendship" between the other party and Lysa even more.

As the other party said, this is a huge sum of money. He refused because money meant little to him, and he also felt that he had received something more important than money in return, whether it was Lysa who taught him The knowledge or the other party's friend is more meaningful than money.

Then, as a businessman, what did the other party rely on to refuse this huge temptation?

"Miss Kolotia, thank you for your clarification. Although money is indeed full of charm, for me there are more important things in this world than money... As I said before, I have obtained more important things. I will not accept the money, if you are really sorry, you can collect some interesting recipes for me, the recipes are more attractive to me."

When Lan Meng rejected her for the second time, Kolotiya stared straight into Lan Meng's eyes, and for this Lan Meng also looked directly at the other party's slightly scrutinizing gaze with a smile on her face.

In the end, Kolotia sighed helplessly.

To be honest, she hoped that Lan Meng would accept the reward that belonged to him, because... She found that her friend's eyes were already shining when looking at him.

It's a pity that she can't do anything about it, she can't just stuff the money into Lan Meng's arms, can she?

"Okay, when I go to the capital, I will help Mr. Lan Meng collect some interesting menus for you..."

She obviously saved a huge amount of expenses for her chamber of commerce unknowingly, and the saved expenses will increase with time, but she still doesn't know why she feels that she is losing money.

Even what she said just now felt like the cry of a defeated dog.

But it was obvious that Lysa didn't notice this, instead she hugged Kolotia's arm excitedly.

"Recipe? Then, Kolotia, don't try to persuade me! I said this is a gift from me, but it would be even better if you could help me find some information about alchemy~ oh~ yes! In addition to alchemy potions, help me collect some books about alchemy dolls..."

Compared with the recipes that are not worth mentioning in Colotia's opinion, books on alchemy are very valuable, and it seems like an equivalent deal, but Colotia knows that it is not equivalent at all. After all, the alchemy potion formula that Lysa gave her will bring a steady stream of wealth, and buying it out is the most stupid choice.

Especially looking at Lan Meng and Lisa who seemed to be a husband and wife, she felt even more sad for some reason.

Forget it, only Lysa's heart can give her some warmth in this cold world.

While thinking about Klotia, she lay in Lysa's arms, and without knowing what happened, Lysa instinctively hugged her friend.

Immediately absorbing the 'emotional energy', the cat and beast also seemed to have some changes in color because of the strange energy absorbed, as if... turned orange?

Chapter 14 'Magic Heart'

Clodia's appearance completely exceeded everyone's expectations.

However, when the other party left, Lysa was one of the rare ones who chose to leave with the other party instead of eating and drinking in the store.

After all, from Lysa's point of view, she seems to have been running to Lanmeng's shop every day for the past half month. Although the research and development of 'Healing Pudding' is not over yet, it is at least temporarily over. Taking time out to play with friends for a day is also a good idea. choose.

But it was precisely because of this that Kolotia held her head up like a big rooster who had won a fight when she left.

Although it wasn't as hostile as when we first met, I still couldn't help but look at Lan Meng more when I left, but it's a pity that Lan Meng didn't seem to care about it, which made Krodia suddenly feel like a punch on cotton.

Naturally, Lan Meng doesn't care about the naive "demonstration" of the other party. After all, as he said, although Lysa is indeed very popular, he doesn't hate the daily life without Lysa. After all, he himself is a relatively silent person. He prefers to do things, and when an energetic girl like Lysa is around him, he even feels that the atmosphere in the store is a little more energetic.

But at least for the time being, he doesn't plan to develop in this direction, or he enjoys the current atmosphere more.

Naturally, she doesn't care about Kolotia's 'demonstration'.

But when Lysa and Krodia left together, Snape, who had been trying to reduce his sense of existence and had been sitting on the inner side of Lan Meng, couldn't help letting out a sharp breath.

"Sure enough, Lily is better..."

Apparently Snape didn't like Clodia's aggressive personality either.

He didn't hate Kolotia because she was rude to Lan Meng at the beginning, it was purely because as a Slytherin student, he had a strong personality, or pride made him not interested in this kind of equally strong opposite sex. interest, because he feels that if his future partner has this personality, then 100% friction will arise.

If you choose, it's better to be as gentle as Lily, have a common hobby of being interested in potions, and have slightly curly hair...

Just now Lysa and Krodia stuffed a mouthful of oranges, and now Snape unknowingly stuffed a mouthful of dog food, and the corner of Lan Meng's mouth twitched unconsciously.

But fortunately, Snape just expressed his feelings.

His original purpose of coming to the store was to ask Lysa to improve the potion with him, but under the "awakening" of Lan Meng, the "master of love", he decided to complete the improvement of the potion alone.

Although he didn't achieve his goal, but from a certain point of view, it can be regarded as the completion of the 'main task'.

As for the subsequent discussion on black magic, it was a 'whim', but he also got the answer he wanted from Lan Meng. It can be said that this time his gains far exceeded his expectations.

Before leaving, Snape expressed his thanks again for asking Lan Meng to ask Merlin. After that, Snape returned to the laboratory he rented nearby with great enthusiasm.

As for Lan Meng, she also sent the other party away with a smile on her face.

At this time, Lan Meng was obviously in a good mood. Although Krodia had brought him some minor accidents, his gains could undoubtedly make up for the negative effects of these minor accidents.

Unsurprisingly there was nothing surprising about Lysa and Snape's 'gift'.

Lysa's 'gift' was some materials for making healing potions, while Snape was more directly a 'white fresh', a special potion for treating trauma.

The only guest named Lelouch who surprised Lan Meng gave him a huge 'surprise'.

"Sakura Stone

Category: material

Grade: C

Description: A special ore that can be used as energy"

"This seems to be used to make an 'alchemy doll'?"

Holding a piece of strange ore in her hand that was not pink and could not see why it was called Cherry Stone, Lan Meng couldn't help muttering to herself.

Then he waved his hand in the direction of the stairs excitedly.

"Rotom!! Come and help me calculate something!!"

'Lotto~! ! '

Following Blue Dream's call, Rotom's response came from the second floor.

Obviously, when Lan Meng was working in the store, the other side couldn't relax after helping Lan Meng to make snacks. It went to the second floor and started to help Lan Meng clean up.

But when it heard Lan Meng's call, it rushed down immediately.

He took out the three-proof notebook specially prepared for Rotom from the side cabinet, and Rotom also got into it without any nonsense.

"Rotom, can you hear me?"

Lan Meng seemed a little strange talking to a notebook, but almost at the same time as he spoke, a kaomoji jumped out.

'?(?)?'

Looking at the emoticons on the bottom of the table, Lan Meng couldn't help laughing.

It is also strange to say, although after this period of study, he has mastered the use of characters, and he is even proficient in using some software, but it may be because he did not understand the characters on Lanmeng's 'elderly machine' at first. Because of the use of kaomoji to communicate with Lan Meng, it has a strange obsession with the first contact with kaomoji.

For some complex things, it will choose to use text to communicate with him, but for some relatively simple communication, such as 'yes' and 'no' or 'greeting', it will tend to use kaomoji.

From a certain point of view, thanks to Rotom Blue Dream, who obviously lives in the information age but seems to be living on a desert island, he has also learned to recognize and even use kaomoji.

But right now it's not about discussing emoji.

Before Snape came, Lan Meng was writing plans in a notebook. Now that he has the new material of 'Sakura Stone', he also has a new idea about his 'Alchemy Doll', so please ask Loto Tom opened a professional drawing software to help himself test.

Although he can also do it by himself, the efficiency is not known how many times worse.

Not to mention that Rotom himself feels too much about his "salary", and he can't be idle at all, either cleaning with various electrical appliances, or staying by Lan Meng's side and ready to help Lan Meng at any time.

At the beginning, Lan Meng also persuaded the other party that it was unnecessary, but the more he persuaded, the more frustrated Rotom seemed to be. Lan Meng also stopped persuading him at all, and simply asked the other party for help according to the other party's ideas, which actually made Rotom full of motivation .

Lan Meng was a little helpless about this, but seeing Rotom enjoying it, he finally stopped blocking him at all.

The notebook placed on the table is slowly rising due to high-intensity calculations, while Lan Meng is holding his chin with one hand and holding a cup in the other hand, looking at the numbers flashing on the monitor seriously. move.

The 'Sakura Stone' obtained from Lelouch is easier to use than in Blue Dream, and he doesn't need to be so conservative about the design of the 'Alchemy Doll'.

The initial 'experimental machine' was just a small doll about 20cm in size, barely able to move by itself and even unable to do complex movements, but through it, Lanmeng confirmed its own production method of 'magic hybrid technology'.

First of all, he asked the craftsmen in the star stronghold to help him forge the parts of the doll's skeleton with 'swallow stone'.

After the parts are made, he assembles them like a model.

Because there is no need for 'wiring', the assembly of parts is even more convenient than assembling the model, but this is not enough, and then he directly carved the magic lines that should have been carved on the surface of the alchemy doll directly on the metal skeleton.

As for the cherry stone, it was inlaid in the chest by Lan Meng as the core, or it was directly hidden in a metal box engraved with a magic circulation circuit. With the protection of the box, at least the 'core', which was originally a weak point, had a better protective effect. many.

In the past half a month, Lan Meng has actually completed more than half of the skeleton, ability core, and magic power circuit, but Lan Meng is hesitant about the outermost protective layer.

The easiest way is naturally to fill it with soil like when making a 'testing machine', but the protective effect of this is worrying. Even if the magic circle with protective effect is engraved, it may only be able to withstand the attacks of ordinary people. The sniper rifle is okay, after all, the skeleton is not so easy to damage, even if it penetrates the protection, it doesn't matter as long as it doesn't attack the core components.

But if it is directly on the mortar, the explosion damage may be difficult to resist.

Of course, the simpler method is naturally the "magic-driven robot" originally envisioned by Lan Meng, but the problem is that he encountered another expected problem----not enough power.

The consumed test machine is okay, it can barely be driven, but it is basically the rhythm of 5 minutes of activity and charging for a whole day. If the large "alchemy doll" adopts a similar method, then I am afraid it can only be used as a decoration.

But the 'Sakura Stone' obtained from Lelouch helped him solve the problem very well.

In Lelouch's world, the normal use of the so-called "Sakura Stone" should be refined and put into a special power furnace as fuel, but Lan Meng directly saved this step by using magic. The surface is engraved with special magic power conduction lines, and then stuffed into the 'magic power drive box' prepared before.

From a certain point of view, the 'magic drive box' is the 'heart' of the 'alchemy doll' he is going to make.

At this time, Rotom is helping Lanmeng to calculate the approximate energy needed for a humanoid alchemy doll of about 150cm in size, and after confirming that there is no problem with Rotom's algorithm, he is going to take the alchemy that Lysa gave him. Tool to test the energy inside the cherry stone.

But Lan Meng didn't expect that he just took the tool out from under the cash register and pushed the store door open again.

While sighing in his heart, 'today there seem to be more customers than usual', Lan Meng signaled Rotom to continue counting, while he himself walked towards the door of the store.

But what he didn't expect was that he saw an unexpected person.

"Yinglili? Why are you here? Aren't you going to class today?"

Looking at the sun outside the window, Lanmeng asked a question from the soul, and Sawamura Eriri unconsciously showed a somewhat strange expression after hearing Lanmeng's words.

"It's summer vacation, where do I go to class? I don't have a club."

Lan Meng couldn't help but slap her head for Eri Sawamura's complaints.

"Oh! I forgot, sorry, I haven't kept track of the time since graduation..."

What Lan Meng said was sincere. Not long after he graduated from university, he came to the Xingchen stronghold to start training. It has been more than half a year in a flash, and now he has inherited the restaurant for more than 3 months. Before he knew it, almost a year had passed.

Lan Meng just expressed her feelings, but Eri Sawamura had a subtle expression.

She always felt that Lan Meng was in Versailles. After all, how many students like to go to school?

Chapter 15 A Special Invitation

Although Sawamura Eriri feels that Lan Meng is in Versailles, after all, she has known each other for so long, she can still tell whether the sad expression on Lan Meng's face is true or not, and she also knows that Lan Meng probably really feels it and expresses it. Say more.

After all, she wanted to ask Lan Meng for something today.

"Won't you invite me in?"

"I'm sorry, Yinglili, do you have anything you want to eat?"

Following Sawamura Eriri's words, Lan Meng, who was originally blocking the store entrance like a wall, gave up his seat and asked the other party at the same time.

"Orange juice is fine, if you want a snack, just have some."

"Hold on."

Desserts were already prepared, and juice was convenient to make. It didn't take long for Lan Meng to return to the restaurant with the dinner plate.

Unsurprisingly, at this time, Sawamura Eriri was looking at the notebook running in the distance with her head raised curiously, but out of politeness, she just looked at it from a distance and didn't intend to go forward to check it.

Seeing this, Lan Meng explained with a smile while giving her something.

"I'm planning to make a 'doll' recently, and I'm calculating the data."

Lanmeng's words made Sawamura Yinglili instantly show an expression of enlightenment. After all, when she first came to the store, she saw Lanmeng drawing design drawings, and later she saw Lanmeng making related things more than once, especially when she went to the store. I came to see the "experimental machine" made by Lanmeng once, but she was similar to Dr. A Li, and didn't consider the possibility of it being an alchemy doll at all. She just regarded it as an ordinary figure, at most it was better More refined even simple controls are possible.
