Perhaps influenced by the phoenix bloodline, Xu Milu found that her personality was becoming more and more like a demon, and the adventurous gene in her bones was always stirring. Although she knew that the new dimension might be dangerous, she still wanted to go and see it.
[Host, I do not recommend that you do this.]
Xiaoqi said in a very serious tone:
[Since the first diner only stayed in the system space for a very short time, the anchor point is not accurate. Randomly traversing between dimensions carries certain risks and may result in encountering spacetime turbulence. The system suggests that the host enter a new dimension only after accurately locating the anchor point.]
"I can't help it. My reason tells me that my life is more important, but my curiosity is like a cat's claws scratching and scratching—we still don't know the opening pattern of that dimension. It's been three days, and no other customers have come yet..."
Xu Milu couldn't help but begin to doubt the meaning of life:
"Could it really be because my face is dark?"
While she was still doubting herself, Ah Chou's big head squeezed in through the half-open window, his black bean eyes filled with clear stupidity:
"Gaga gaga gaga! Gaga gaga gaga! (Mom's serving dinner!)"
While squeezing, it also tried to nudge Xu Milu's palm with its head, as if it were in a hurry to starve to death on the spot if it was any later.
It hasn't eaten for a minute!
"Wait a minute, your food is still cooking. It's a deal, if I give you extra food, you have to take the Chinese players to explore the map around Nameless Island—we don't keep idle people here."
Xu Milu scratched Ah Chou's chin, and the giant tortoise immediately squinted its eyes comfortably, clearly agreeing.
"quack!"
Ah Chou is now so big that Xu Milu had this window specially made so that she could feed him every day.
Its appetite is now astonishing. It not only eats nearly a ton of fruit every day, but also has to eat three meals a day with Xu Milu, and occasionally receives enthusiastic feedings from visiting Yin Wenjiao and Hu Silang.
Xu Milu estimated that if Ah Chou kept eating like this, the entire backyard wouldn't be able to hold it all.
"So it was actually a giant turtle! My apologies, I was completely mistaken. I had eyes but did not recognize a true god, and thought that Ugly was just an ordinary turtle."
Mo Xuan was enjoying a bowl of braised pork rice when he heard Xu Milu say that, so he chimed in:
"I once heard that when the Goddess Nuwa mended the sky with stones, she cut off the four legs of a giant tortoise to make four pillars supporting the heavens and the earth! I imagine that a thousand or ten thousand years from now, when Lady Xu's giant tortoise attains enlightenment, it will also be able to support a piece of the sky! Ah Chou, another day your brother will take you to Dongting Lake to see it. It is truly a place of beautiful mountains and clear waters, where you can live a carefree and happy life, with birds singing and dancing all day long, and beautiful women by your side. It would be so pleasant that you would forget about home!"
Today, Xu Milu made braised pork rice. The pork belly was stewed until tender in the braising liquid, then finely diced and placed on top of rice cooked in a clay pot. A soft-boiled egg was added, along with two blanched bok choy leaves, and finally, half a bowl of braising sauce was poured over it.
Rice cooked in a clay pot has a unique aroma reminiscent of a wood-fired stove. The rice grains at the bottom of the pot clump together, turning into golden "rice crusts" under the high temperature. The sauce from the braised meat is poured over the sweet and soft rice. Take a spoonful and put it in your mouth, and your mouth will be filled with the aroma of meat and rice.
Upon hearing that Mo Xuan was trying to "corrupt" Ah Chou, Xu Milu couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"Don't corrupt Ah Chou. After you finish eating, prepare to open the shop. A couple of days ago, some customers complained that you were drooling in front of them. If you break the taboo and eat people, I won't punish you; I'll send you to Hongfu Temple to have Master Xuanzang 'exorcise' you properly."
Mo Xuan felt extremely wronged:
"Madam Xu, you've wronged me! Those two demons who came to eat that day—others didn't know their true forms, but I recognized them by their scent. They were probably two carp spirits. I was thinking about the sweet and sour fish you mentioned, and my dragon saliva fell to the ground—my dragon saliva transforms into celestial herbs upon landing, and even ordinary little demons thank me when they see my dragon saliva!"
"Alas--"
Xu Milu looked disgusted, then belatedly realized what was happening and angrily said:
"Last year on my birthday you gave me a Ganoderma lucidum mushroom—you actually gave me a Ganoderma lucidum mushroom that you soaked in your own saliva?! Deduct my salary!"
Mo Xuan immediately realized he had let something slip, opened his mouth wide and gulped down the bowl of braised pork rice, then ran away as fast as he could.
"Madam Xu! Didn't you tell me this morning to go to the back mountain outside the city to collect some snails? I'll go right now!"
Xu Milu gritted her teeth, intending to settle the score with Mo Xuan when he returned. Just as she was adding rice to Ah Chou's bowl, the doorbell rang again.
Welcome to Shan Hai Restaurant!
She looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the door was open, but no diners were in sight.
Where did they go?
Where did such a big diner go?
Xu Milu was completely baffled.
Fortunately, the door to the system space is two-way for her; she can see what's happening on the other side through this door.
Even though Xu Milu had mentally prepared herself beforehand, she still couldn't help but widen her eyes when she saw what was happening on the other side of the door:
Another dimension seemed to be in the dead of winter. Outside the door, it was like another ice and snow world. Snowflakes fell continuously from the clouds, and all the building surfaces were covered with a thick layer of ice. The tall urban buildings had been abandoned, and in the dilapidated residential buildings, glass was shattered everywhere. The broken cement buildings looked like dead steel behemoths, their corpses covered by the heavy snow.
There were no stars in the sky, only a huge, blue comet tail that looked like something out of a dream, and even the moon was nowhere to be seen.
Xu Milu raised her head slightly, and in her line of sight came a futuristic skyscraper that stretched into the sky. It was thousands of meters high, with purple and blue neon lights flashing incessantly, and fighter jets with silver-gray shells roaring past...
