Gentleman's Night Canteen

Not a great job, but a good one.

After taking the first month's salary, he went to have a big meal...a dinner that was originally planned to be with his family, but it was a pity that it was only him.

It is obviously a valuable food, but he felt that it was not as delicious as he imagined, so in the end he completely lost his desire for 'food', and simply used it as a 'fuel' to supplement his body's functioning.

But today Lan Meng told him one thing.

It's not that he doesn't like cooking, but he just gave up because he couldn't do it...

Chapter 43 Beat Who Cry?

Looking at Momonga who fell silent again, Yake couldn't help but glance at Solal who was on the side.

If Momonga is instinctively vigilant against everything except himself because of the 'dystopian' world he once lived in, then Yake, who lives in a normal world and is optimistic by nature and happy with the situation, should be happy many.

The previous relationship has made him regard Lan Meng and Solal as enthusiastic seniors, and Fei Shu as a "student" like himself.

If it is a metaphor, it is probably a roommate in a university dormitory.

So he instinctively cared about the state of Momonga, but when he found that both Solal and Lanmeng seemed to be calmer, he gradually calmed down.

Compared with a person like Flying Mouse who likes to fight wits with the air, Yake is more willing to trust his intuition, and his intuition tells him that both Lan Meng and Solal are trustworthy people. I chose to trust the two.

But at this moment, Momonga finally spoke.

"Mr. Lan Meng...thank you."

Lan Meng didn't say much to Fei Shu's thanks, just smiled and bowed slightly.

And Momonga raised the wine glass in front of him as if he had put down something.

"Can I have another drink?"

"Of course, tonight, you have already reserved the room, Momonga, so you can drink whatever you want."

In fact, if there weren't many people in the store before, Lan Meng couldn't help but want to play a trick on the loudspeaker and shout, "Master Flying Squirrel is invited tonight."

As Momonga returned to normal, the atmosphere in the store also returned to normal.

Yake moved to Lan Meng's side with a curious expression on his face.

"Mr. Lan Meng, is what you said just now true? But why didn't I respond? I just feel...it's delicious."

Compared with the flying squirrel who always gives people a feeling of bitterness and hatred, Yake is full of vitality as always, but even so, he still knows that some things are not suitable for asking others, so even though he is very curious about the situation of the flying squirrel, he He still didn't talk to Fei Shu recklessly, but locked his target on Lan Meng.

I have to say that he has a good eye, Lan Meng did not hide anything and answered his question directly.

"I haven't fully figured out my abilities, but I have summed up some key points."

Following Lan Meng's explanation, not only Jacques, but even Momonga and Solal looked over unconsciously.

Obviously they are also very curious about Lan Meng's ability.

"My ability does not work for everyone. Generally speaking, it is easy for people who are more sensitive to this aspect to work. Let's take 'love' as an example. Use my ability in the same way, whether you are in love People in middle age, or people who have just broken up in love are more susceptible than ordinary people."

Speaking of which, Lan Meng paused unconsciously, while Fei Shu nodded silently.

After all, the word 'family' is too special for him, so he should have been affected too.

"Secondly, although I have never used my ability to do some strange things, it still affects a person in essence, and according to Mr. Solar, this influence even includes the soul level, so it has little influence on people with strong will... … unless you voluntarily give up resistance."

Speaking of this, Lan Meng unconsciously thought of that 'Master General'.

As the opponent's "God", if he actively resists, his ability will not work at all.

But it was precisely because of this that Lan Meng was curious about one thing, that is, why did his own ability work when the two sides met for the first time, or when the other party tasted his cooking for the first time?

You must know that the other party did not know your own abilities at the time.

But I'm afraid Lan Meng never imagined that the reason why the "general" at that time would react was not only because of his ability, but also because the other party could not understand the "emotion" contained in the cooking.

It's like if you suddenly add a Chinese character in the code that is running normally, then you will definitely report an error.

However, neither Lanmeng himself nor the 'shadow' of its producer would have imagined that the 'error' left seeds related to 'emotion' in the other party's soul.

It's just that no one knows when this seed will take root and germinate.

But when Lan Meng was thinking, Fei Shu suddenly raised a question.

"Then Mr. Lan Meng, can your ability only work through cooking?"

"It should be more than that. Words, pictures, and even music should be used as intermediaries, but I don't quite understand these things... What's wrong?"

The flying squirrel who had already received the 'answer' from Lan Meng not only recovered his previous posture, it can even be said that he became more like a 'human' than before after being activated by something.

And because of this, he trusted Lan Meng more.

This kind of trust is not only because of 'sensibility', but also because of the result of 'rational thinking', so he is quite close to Lan Meng.

As for why he asked the question...

"Then is the fist okay?"

"?!"

Although Lan Meng couldn't understand, Lan Meng felt greatly shocked.

Seeing Lan Meng's stiff expression, Momonga didn't care at all.

He was just thinking about some questions habitually, such as Lan Meng's ability. After realizing Lan Meng's surprise, he simply explained to Lan Meng why he asked this question.

"Although I don't know exactly how you know your ability, Mr. Lan Meng... But according to what you said, this ability should not only be aimed at 'taste'."

"Food corresponds to 'taste' and may also be 'smell', paintings correspond to 'vision', and music corresponds to 'hearing', so does it mean that 'touch' can also work?"

Following Momonga's explanation, everyone showed expressions of sudden realization.

Although what the other party said at the beginning was a bit outrageous, after the other party's explanation, it seems to have become reasonable?

And Yake couldn't help but think about it after hearing the other party's words.

"Then doesn't it mean that Lan Meng, you will beat up and cry in the future? Even a tough guy can't stand it?"

Yake's words made Lan Meng dumbfounded, but it was not impossible, after all, there were indeed more than one guest who cried after eating his food.

However, there are still a small number of people who cry. The vast majority of people either do not respond, or they have blushing cheeks and make strange panting sounds. Among them, Jiujo Shaluo is the representative.

It’s okay if you just beat someone and cry, but if you beat someone yourself in the future, you will make strange panting sounds...

Lan Meng didn't dare to think too much.

After all, if it's a cute girl, it's okay, if it's a strong man————

hiss……

Chapter 44 Reasons to be addicted to games

Lan Meng had to admit that "everyone gathers firewood and a flame shines brightly" is really correct.

In fact, when Lan Meng learned that he had the ability of 'emotional resonance', he simply considered to be a chef/singer/comic/writer. As for using his ability to fight?

Lan Meng didn't think about it at all, but he didn't think that Fei Shu thought of using his ability in combat...

Should I say that the other party is really good?

Although Lan Meng felt that if he really used it like this, he didn't know if he could kill his opponent, but at least he was dead...in a social sense.

But looking at the flying squirrel and Yake who were discussing enthusiastically, Lan Meng didn't know how to stop them for a while, so he simply chose to remain silent.

Although he felt a little sorry for the two who tried hard to discuss for him, but in order to protect his integrity, he still silently decided that he would never use this trick unless he had to.

At this time, Flying Squirrel didn't even know that he was directly killed by Lan Meng before finishing his "role strategy", but he liked the current atmosphere quite a bit.

It gave him the feeling that it was like when the guild was just established and everyone discussed the future development...

No, because the discussion is about Lanmeng's ability, but it is more like when they discussed NPC pinching after the establishment of the "Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick"?

But no matter which one is more similar, the only thing he knows is that his original tension due to traveling to a strange world has subconsciously eased a lot.

He felt an incomparably familiar sense of security...

Suddenly, Momonga was taken aback, but then he continued to chat with Yake and the others as if nothing had happened.

The reason for this is because he suddenly remembered something.

Why did I become addicted to games in the first place.

Is it really because the game is so fun?

Maybe there is this reason, but it is more because he found like-minded people in the game, and he has an indescribable sense of peace when he is with them, especially when waiting for others to go online every time he goes online He is full of expectations, and if some people cannot go online due to accidents, he will become disappointed.

He didn't think much about it before, he just felt that he was just enjoying the feeling of playing games with everyone.

But just after Lan Meng awakened the memory deep in his mind, he suddenly realized something.

Why am I always depressed because of the closure of the game and the separation from everyone?

It's very simple, because he already regards 'Ainz Oulgon' and 'Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick' as his home, and everyone in the guild is regarded by him as his family.

For him, what he wanted to maintain wasn't some actual place at all, but... a place where people could come back.

He can understand that everyone's attention to the game is slowed down because of things outside the game. After all, unlike himself, most of the members in the guild have their own lives in the outside world. As the president, watching everyone leave him is like Like an old man looking at the children who left home and went to their own future...

While he sincerely wished them well, he also looked forward to seeing them again.

'So this is what I really think in my heart? '

Momonga's mood was extremely complicated for a while.

But at the same time, he unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, after all, being able to understand himself is something to be happy about.

And not only that, his view of the future has also changed slightly from before.

Originally, his original plan was to try to spread the name 'Ainzi Urgon', the purpose of which was to let other 'travelers' who might exist in this world actively look for him. After all, he believed that their guild would Still quite famous among them.

However, ordinary "travelers" will definitely not find them. After all, their reputation is indeed "notorious". From a certain perspective, the status of the "Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick" in the game even surpasses The official creation of the game is the 'Demon City'.

What he really wants to find is the "former comrades in arms" who are related to him and may be involved in the time travel together.

Of course, even now he has not given up on this plan, but what is different from before is that in the narration of Lan Meng and Solal, he no longer regards "different world" as a "relatively special game", but Decided to really integrate into this world.

At least he won't treat people in this world as 'NPC' anymore.

Although the side effect of 'forced calmness' is still not eliminated, Momonga didn't realize that although he was not undead, Lan Meng's cooking also gave him 'humanity', or awakened his human side.

He decided to temporarily cancel some of the more radical plans.

"Even if the average combat capability of this world is confirmed, it is better not to use force for the time being to prevent too many casualties. It is better to integrate into this world by infiltration..."

Compared with the flying squirrel, who is full of thoughts, Yake has already made plans.

He intends to join the highly probable 'mercenary guild' and start his adventure in another world as a free mercenary.

Compared with Momonga, he doesn't have anything to do. It can be said that he has no ambitions, but he obviously doesn't care about it. After all, he essentially wants to enjoy life in a different world.

From a certain point of view, Momonga and Yake are two completely opposite people.

One has a firm goal, the other drifts;

One person always prepares countless backup plans before doing things, and the other person always takes action before thinking about the body;

One person doesn't like to show his feelings, while the other makes no secret of his likes and dislikes.

But the two diametrically opposed people have an unexpected friendship.

Momonga feels that it is very fun to get along with a passionate person like Yake, but at the same time, he does not need to be wary of each other, and is very relaxed;

And Yake appreciates those smart people. When playing games, he prefers to be a thug instead of being a commander. He enjoys fighting more than thinking, and the flying mouse saves him a lot of thinking. He already regards the other party as his friend.

It wasn't until all the food on a plate of dining car was wiped out that Momonga suddenly realized that he seemed to have been delayed for a long time in Lanmeng's shop.

Although he couldn't help complaining about his behavior, but for some reason he felt very happy.

"Mr. Lan Meng, I have delayed you for a long time, I should leave, the companions I met in this world are still waiting for me..."

But just when he got up and was about to say goodbye, an accident happened. He suddenly found... a cat on his knee? !

I don't know when the cat and beast that Lan Meng held in his arms appeared on him...

Chapter 45 Cat Approval

Momonga's first reaction when he found Maomaomon lying on his lap was to 'self-examine'.

He probably knew why he lost his vigilance.

Whether it's Lan Meng, Solal or Momonga, they all give him a feeling of trustworthiness, because in the process of getting along with them, he even gradually forgot some unhappy things.

But even so he shouldn't have lost his vigilance.
