People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

Tony's feelings were a bit complicated at this moment. No matter what, Tony was completely enjoying his meal. He unbuttoned a few buttons on his sleeve, rolled it up, sniffed, and said, "Pepper, do you believe me now?"

Potts sighed and said, "I just regret not controlling my diet. I'm a little full now, but it was really delicious. Good job, Tony!"

Tony chuckled and said, "So, while you're controlling your diet, you can appropriately increase what you eat. After all, your cellular activity has increased a lot now, so you need more calories."

Potts nodded and said, "That's right, looks like we'll have to have an extra meal when we get back. But this non-alcoholic champagne is really delicious, no wonder you like it. But Tony, I'm curious how you ate these garlic oysters!"

Tony put down his spoon, picked up an oyster, and looked at it. Garlic oysters are like baked Boston lobster with cheese. What ingredients are there? Just garlic and oysters, that's all. At most, some chili peppers and scallions on top.

Tony licked his lips and picked up a knife to scrape off the garlic, but Potts burst out laughing and said, "Hey~ Tony~ I just realized today that you're not only childish but also this funny. I know you've never eaten this before~ No need to prove it~"

Tony said somewhat awkwardly, "Hey~ what's wrong? You can eat even the shell?"

Potts laughed and said, "Of course not~ This is meant to be eaten whole, including the minced garlic on top~ Tony~ You almost made a mistake~"

Tony paused for a moment, looked at the thick layer of minced garlic on top, swallowed hard, and said, "I think I might need chewing gum later... Hmm? Wait, wait... Why is this stuff so delicious?"

That's right, garlic oysters don't lose any of their seafood pride or freshness despite the garlic. Holding the oyster shell and using your cutlery, you can savor the garlic, chili peppers, scallions, and a squeeze of lemon juice inside the oyster and put it all in your mouth.

Each bite is bursting with flavor, and the way you eat them one at a time adds even more fun. The taste of garlic, the freshness of oysters, the fragrance of lemon juice, and the spiciness of chili peppers all come together, making it impossible to stop eating them.

"Hey...wait...Tony! You're eating too fast! Leave one for me!"

"Damn it! Tony, where's your class?!"

Watching the two of them getting all excited over eating garlic oysters, Kasugano Sora simply tilted her head and said with a puzzled look, "Strange adult..."

Sometimes happiness doesn't have to be so difficult. Life is a live broadcast, but there will always be times when the broadcast ends late at night. At those times, please put aside your so-called composure and pretense, be your most authentic self, and do whatever makes you happy.

Life always has moments for show, perhaps most of the time, but life is long. Please set aside time for yourself—to be wild, to enjoy life, to do everything you want. You are the master of your own life. Perhaps that freedom is hidden in a garlic oyster, a glass of soda, or a game...

Chapter 258 Bai Yu's Little Joke, Lucifer's Reward (Please Subscribe~)

When Bai Yu came out with the late-night snacks and drinks, Tony was still fighting with Potts over garlic oysters. What gentlemanly manners! Even gentlemen need to satisfy their own appetites.

After putting down his late-night snack, Bai Yu sat down next to Lucifer, looked at them, and said with a smile, "Looks like things will get interesting soon~"

Kasugano Sora eagerly grabbed the cola from the table, which was bubbling with tiny bubbles and making popping sounds. Looking at the ice at the bottom of the glass, she was excited. She was amazed that she could actually drink soda so late at night at Shiraha's shop.

"Phew... Iced cola really does taste better... I never thought I'd be able to get soda at Bai Yu's shop, this is so wonderful..."

Bai Yu glared at Kasugano Sora with a hint of annoyance. This child really had such simple happiness. Lucifer tugged at Bai Yu's arm and said, "Bai Yu, you said before that Potts and the others were going to get interesting? Why did you say that?"

Bai Yu chuckled, a rare hint of amusement in his expression, and said, "The garlic oysters I prepared for Tony and the others... are an odd number."

"Singular? What does that have to do with singular?"

Seeing Lucifer's puzzled expression, Kasugano Sora, holding her iced cola and sipping it through a straw, said matter-of-factly, "Because if it's an odd number, there should be one left in the end, judging from their expressions..."

Lucifer nodded in realization, then gently patted Bai Yu's arm and said with a smile, "How could you be so mean? I feel like you should be the devil!"

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "Sometimes, maybe humans really are more like demons, right, Lucifer?"

"Just thinking about it makes me angry! Those bastards! They should all go to hell!"

Bai Yu patted Lucifer's head gently and said, "Alright~ We can't kill all people like this. All we can do is prevent such situations from happening around us. The human race started with a sapling made of evil thoughts, and a single thought can grow into a towering tree~"

Lucifer sighed and said, "Huh? Hearing you say that, I can't help but think of something like the Tree of Evil, but it feels a little different. Wait... why did I suddenly bring up such a serious topic with you? What kind of nuts did you add?"

Bai Yu smiled at Lucifer. This little queen always managed to find something adorable about him. After pinching Lucifer's cheek, she said with a smile, "Macadamia nuts, I remember you seem to really like these nuts, right?"

"Hmph~ You're thoughtful enough~ As a reward, you'll come with me to see the beach when we catch Pokémon!"

"Huh? Are you sure this is a reward for me?"

Lucifer blushed and whispered, "Didn't you want to see the angel's outfit...? I'll change... But! Just once! I'm not wearing an angel's clothes!"

Bai Yu seemed to have thought of something and smiled. Lucifer didn't say anything and just ate her chocolate biscuit with a red face. But when she was halfway through eating, she suddenly realized that chocolate biscuit was her signature dish!

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a little happy. The chocolate biscuits that she usually thought were delicious now tasted even better. She was used to Lucifer's sudden happiness and his tsundere nature, but Kasugano Sora found it rather amusing.

"Tony! You... um?"

Just as Potts was about to eat the last garlic oyster, Tony took it away. But before Potts could finish speaking, Tony put it back on his plate, laughing and saying, "So, Pepper, you don't know anything about life!"

Potts smiled with satisfaction after seeing Tony's performance, and said with a hint of amusement, "You know what? The one thing I don't want you to say is that you don't understand life, because I'm the one who takes care of your life..."

Tony waved his hand and said, "No, no, no~ What I mean is, Pepper, you don't know how to enjoy life. Like this dinner, at this point, you should definitely save some room for champagne and dessert."

Potts was taken aback. Of course, she knew Tony was deliberately giving her the last garlic oyster, but for some reason, she felt cheated, and by a great deal...

Tony poured himself a glass of champagne, took a sip with relish, and said, "Bai Yu, I must say, your cooking is truly worth its exorbitant price. I didn't even remember the champagne until I finished eating."

Bai Yu smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, but Tony, it's not too late for you to drink now, since you already ordered dessert. By the way, Tony, have you figured anything out?"

"what?"

"It's this power that transcends dimensions~"

Tony shook his head and said, "No, it can't be scanned at all. I don't know if it's because my Jarvis is too low-level. Jarvis tells me everything is normal, which I can't even believe myself!"

Potts asked in confusion, "Jarvis said that?"

Tony nodded and said, "Yes, Jarvis even joked with me, saying, 'Sir, you've only stepped through a door.' I really feel like my intelligence has been insulted!"

Potts said with a smile, "While that is indeed true, Mr. Bai Yu's shop, which can contain Jarvis's existence, is probably beyond Jarvis's comprehension, just like different dimensions."

"Hmm? Maybe you're right. Lower dimensions can never imagine what happens in higher dimensions. But in a sense, Bai Yu's place should be considered a higher dimension... no... it should have already surpassed the concept of dimension. No wonder Jarvis is no longer working well..."

Kasugano Sora looked puzzled. She couldn't understand anything about dimensions or other dimensions. The only thing she could understand was Jarvis, that powerful robot-like thing.

Tony chuckled and said, "But Bai Yu, you seem to have fewer customers today. Don't people from other worlds eat late-night snacks?"

Bai Yu shook his head and said, "I don't know, I'm not sure, but if it's for a late-night snack, it might still be daytime in some places~ After all, time is different in different worlds~"

Tony nodded and said, "That makes sense, but it's still quite impressive that they were able to adjust the time of people from different worlds to nighttime here."

"Maybe it's because this is a restaurant open at night..."

Chapter 259 The Sudden Arrival of the Slime (Please Subscribe~)

Kasugano Sora stayed at the table, drinking cola and watching the whole thing. For her, since she couldn't understand anything anyway and wasn't sleepy, it was quite nice to just listen and have fun. Besides, she was also looking forward to the guests from the other world.

Ideally, she'd like to see some strange or unusual guests. She'd love to see angels, fairies, elves, dragons, and the like, even though she'd probably be scared. She just really wants to see them.

Potts turned around, looked at Kasugano Sora who was holding a can of cola, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect Sora to be so amazing~"

"Well?"

Potts replied matter-of-factly, "Of course! After all, it's not very common for a normal person to drink ice-cold cola in one go, since cola is quite a stimulant."

Kasugano Sora tilted her head, then suddenly remembered something. She let go of the straw, burped, and covered her mouth, her face turning bright red. Potts laughed and said, "That's more like it~ It would be amazing if you could drink cola without burping~"

"Hmm... I think it's alright, it doesn't seem very exciting..."

Lucifer chuckled as he ate his biscuit, saying, "Looks like you've got some serious knowledge about soda, Qiong?"

"Of course! If it's orange-flavored soda, then... um..."

Kasugano Sora froze as soon as she spoke, looking at Bai Yu somewhat timidly. Bai Yu simply said irritably, "With your ability to destroy evidence, do you think I wouldn't notice if you replaced a soda bottle with juice?"

Kasugano Sora whispered, "Brother Shiraha, I only drank a little bit..."

Bai Yu tilted his head and looked at the cup in Kasugano Sora's hand. It was such a big cup, and Kasugano Sora had drunk three-quarters of it in one gulp. She was definitely a seasoned drinker...

"Don't worry, I didn't mean to criticize you. But even if you feel better, you can't drink soda like water. Drinking it every day can still pose some health risks."

Kasugano Sora nodded with a sigh of relief and said, "I'll just have a tiny bit, just a tiny bit~"

"Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? Don't play the victim~ Speaking of which, there are indeed fewer guests today. Is it because some strange guest is coming?"

Tony Stark immediately became interested and asked, "Strange guest? How strange? An angel? A monster? A dragon or something?"

Tony is now genuinely interested in life in another world, because comparing it to others makes him realize how utterly inadequate his own world really is. (Purple Sweet Potato: I can't even say that...)

Lucifer said irritably, "Angels? Even angels have to call me 'commander'... But I don't know about what you're talking about. One fallen angel did come before me though."

Tony put down his glass and exclaimed excitedly, "Really?! Is it really a fallen angel?! Is it the same one as the legends say? Which one is it?"

"Azazel~"

Upon hearing this, Tony and Potts were both stunned. Potts said in confusion, "Wait... Azazel, that angel fell from heaven? That's impossible, he wouldn't fall even if someone else did..."

Tony licked his lips and said, "Yeah, I remember Azazel means scapegoat in the Bible, right? God won't let this guy who took the blame for God fall from heaven, will he?"

Lucifer nodded and said, "You're right, but the fact is, Azazel did indeed fall from grace in that world, and he was even the governor of the fallen angels. What's most infuriating is that Lucifer actually existed in that world!"

"Huh? But it's also growing, considering Azazel still exists..."

"But Lucifer didn't just fall from the sky. The Underworld only has four Demon Kings, not even enough to gather all seven deadly sins. And Lucifer's ability is to nullify divine artifacts. I'm speechless... And yet, some beings are just terrifyingly powerful..."

Tony nodded and said, "It is indeed outrageous. I didn't expect Lucifer from another world to be like this. But in that case, I am even more looking forward to what kind of guest will come today. He seems to be a very magical being."

Bai Yu asked in confusion, "Huh? Mr. Tony, don't you need to study your Mark armor anymore?"

Potts said excitedly, "No, no need, because all we need to do is summarize the final data to declare it complete. Tony had a lot more ideas after he went back last time, and he finished the last bit of work very quickly."

Bai Yu nodded. Just as Tony was about to boast about his Mark armor, he saw Kasugano Sora holding a can of cola, looking dazed, and saying, "The door... is glowing..."

Tony and Potts quickly looked over, especially Potts, who was even more curious about what kind of guest would arrive. Tony rubbed his hands together and said, "Give me a surprise, Ash... Ash..."

The door opened, but no one saw anyone enter; they only saw a flash of white light. Tony stammered, "This looks just like when Ash and the others came in..."

"Did Pikachu run away again?! Great!"

Lucifer was also hoping it was Ash, because then he could tell Ash when he would come again, and Ash would agree to go to the Pokémon World. Then, the magic that had been building up for so long could finally be unleashed! Mew, Eevee, and the like would be no problem at all!

Puff...puff...puff...

Just as everyone was looking forward to it, they suddenly heard such a sound. Kasugano Sora immediately shrank back next to Shiraha. Fear comes from the unknown, and it was clear that the sound did not seem to come from a human.

Potts, his breathing slightly rapid, said, "Tony...this voice isn't human...it might not even be a humanoid creature..."

Tony said with a somewhat serious expression, "Hmm, this sound is probably from movement, but movement making this kind of sound only proves that this guy's feet are different from humans... It's okay, Miss Lucifer and Bai Yu are here, everything will be alright..."

Potts nodded. Lucifer and Bai Yu, on the other hand, were not afraid at all; in fact, they were quite looking forward to it.

Finally, the noise stopped, and before everyone could even wonder what was going on, a very cute voice shouted, "That's it! Charge!!!"

"Phew~ Looks like this is a human. It's probably the sound of some kind of shoe... my ass!"

Tony was forced to stop halfway through his sentence. He had initially thought it was a human, but instead, a blue object flew in. Bai Yu and the others were all stunned when they saw the object on the ground.

Kasugano Sora whispered, "Eh? This is... jelly?"

The blue, unidentified creature on the ground was stunned upon hearing this, jumped twice, then breathed a sigh of relief and shouted, "I'm not jelly! If I had to say, I'm a slime..."

"Slime?!"

Chapter 260 Rimuru Eating Pork Cutlet Rice (Please Subscribe~)

The shop was eerily quiet. Everyone had a different expression, especially Tony Stark, who was completely stunned, staring dumbfounded at the slime in front of him.

After what seemed like an eternity, Tony's lips twitched as he said in a deep voice, "I already thought it was very unreasonable, but it turns out it's even more unreasonable than I imagined..."

The underground slime looked around before exclaiming in surprise, "This is a restaurant?! You're all humans?!"

Bai Yu nodded and said, "Yes, but how did you know this was a restaurant?"

Upon hearing this, the slime's eyes widened like a burst dam, tears streaming down its face as it excitedly exclaimed, "Waaah! I've finally seen humans again! It's been so hard!"

Looking at the somewhat adorable little creature, everyone could sense its longing to see humans. Potts tentatively began, "Mr. Slime...Ms....uh..."

The slime seemed happy to see a human, and quickly stopped crying, saying excitedly, "My name is Rimuru! Slimes don't have genders, but I feel like I'm male!"

Potts nodded and said, "So, Mr. Rimuru, didn't you say that slimes don't have genders? Then how do you know you're male? And you seem quite excited to see humans?"

Rimuru sighed and said, "Because I was a man before I traveled back in time..."

Tony Stark nodded, then paused, before exclaiming incredulously, "What?! Time travel really exists?! And you've transmigrated into a slime?!"

Rimuru said with a hint of helplessness, "Yeah, and I'm so unlucky. All those 'become handsome and rich' things in novels, nothing like being reborn as royalty, or even not being human at all! I was even transported to an underground labyrinth, and I just finished beating it..."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt that Rimuru was rather unlucky. He really did seem different from those transmigrated characters; at least they were still human. This one...

Lucifer tilted his head and said, "How did you, a slime, survive in the underground labyrinth?"
