Chapter 85

The sky gradually darkened.

In the evening of Dolei City, dusk cast a gray filter over this prosperous and bustling city-state. The torches on the streets were lit, and the workers and adventurers who had worked hard all day walked towards the tavern in groups of three or four.

Nekomus stood at the fork in the shopping street, looking at the shops on both sides with curiosity. There were

so many humans.

So many things I had never seen before.

The restaurant signs listed the signature dishes in the common language of the continent, and except for hot pot, every other dish had an unfamiliar name. Tofu shops, chili shops, pickle shops... The shop owners were tidying up the shelves at the door, which were full of unfamiliar vegetables.

Among them, there was a round red vegetable that attracted the most attention, and Nekomus couldn't help but take a second look.

Suddenly, a strong force came from behind, and Nekomis staggered two steps, and was supported in time.

"Sorry, sorry, are you okay?" A voice full of apology came from behind.

"Chris, walk carefully, I almost bumped into you last time... Wow!" Irene exclaimed: "Why is your face so pale, are you injured somewhere? Do you want to go to the church to see the priest?"

Colin frantically flipped through his backpack: "I have healing medicine here!"

They were a few reckless human adventurers.

Nekomis pulled down the brim of his robe hood and dodged the magic potion that was handed to him: "Nothing, it's okay."

"Is it really okay?" Chris asked with concern. The man in front of him had a pale face and a thin body. He looked very unwell and could be killed by accident. He said caringly: "If I hurt you, I will bear the cost of the treatment."

Nekomis: "It's okay, I'm healthy."

Chris: "Really? But... hey!"

Before Chris and his group could stop him, the young man wrapped in a heavy robe had already fled away quickly, looking worried about being entangled by them.

Chris looked at his companions, scratched his head, looked uncertainly at the direction the young man left, and said, "Since he said he was fine, then he should be fine, right?"

"Let's go, let's go to the restaurant." Irene said loudly, "I was chased by the monster today and I followed you for so long. I'm starving!"

"Then let's eat hot pot today."

"Huh? Hot pot? Can't we go to Levi's restaurant?"

"I just bought two bicycles recently. We don't have that much money!"

...

Nekomis quickly found his destination in the shopping street.

It was a restaurant, the most popular on this street. The restaurant was crowded and there was a long line at the door.

The fragrance floated in the air, and it could be distinguished from the fragrance that the smell from this restaurant was more delicious than other restaurants.

When Nekomas sat in the restaurant and picked up the menu, he found that the menu of this restaurant was more difficult to understand than other restaurants.

Braised pork with preserved vegetables? Pickled fish?

What are these?

Scrambled eggs with tomatoes? Scrambled eggs? What is a tomato? Mapo tofu? What about mapo? What is tofu?

Nekomas read the menu from beginning to end. It was clearly the familiar Chinese language, but the names of the dishes were very unfamiliar. He didn't understand a single one until he finished reading the last one.

Oh, he wanted to eat hot pot.

But there was no hot pot here.

He hesitated for a long time, and the adventurer who was waiting for the food to be served came to talk to him: "Is this your first time in Levi's restaurant?"

Nekomus: "...Yes."

"Don't worry, every dish in Levi's restaurant is delicious. No matter how you order, you can't go wrong. Levi uses the recipe given by Mr. Jiang Li. There is no restaurant more delicious than this one in the whole city of Dolei!" The adventurer patted his chest and assured: "By the way, if you are not used to eating chili peppers, remember not to order too spicy dishes."

"Chili peppers?"

"The pattern after the dish name is chili peppers. The more the number, the spicier it is."

Nekomus looked at the menu again. Some of the dish names were followed by long and thin red patterns, with varying quantities. It turned out that this was chili peppers.

The adventurer at the next table said, "Previously, a dragon ate chili peppers and spewed fire, almost burning down the restaurant!"

Nekomus nodded carefully.

Fortunately, he did not bring Savile with him.

He quickly ordered the dishes.

While waiting for the dishes to be served, the adventurer next to him came up to him again, "Is this your first time in Dore City?"

Nekomus replied cautiously, "Is it obvious?"

"Hahaha, of course, anyone who has been to Dore City would not know about chili peppers? This is the seed that Mr. Jiang Li brought to Dore City, and it has become a specialty of Dore City!"

"Jiang Li?" Nekomus asked curiously, "Who is he?"

He had never mentioned this name in the storybook he bought in the human city.

The adventurer was stunned.

He exchanged glances with his table mates, and even the guests at another table turned to look over.

"You don't even know Mr. Jiang Li?"

Nebows paused and asked cautiously, "I live in a very remote place... Is he famous among humans?"

Other diners in the restaurant joined the discussion: "Mr. Jiang Li is a great benefactor of our Dolei City!"

"He shared countless precious seeds with us."

"He also blocked the attack of the beast tide for Dolei City."

"Those workshops in Dolei City only appeared because of Mr. Jiang Li."

"Mr. Jiang Li has helped Dolei City in so many ways. He is not only a great man, but also an extremely powerful magician. Even dragons are not his match."

"Not to mention those magical products in the supermarket, even the bicycles were brought by Mr. Jiang Li!"

"However, the most amazing thing is Mr. Jiang Li's car. It doesn't require any magic or movement, but it can run for days and nights without stopping."

Everyone was talking at once, and Nekonos listened left and right, all of which were things he had never heard of.

Even when he had sneaked into the human city before, he had never heard of a car.

The Demon King listened to these novel things with surprise. Each one was much more interesting than the unchanging Demon King's City.

"Look at this." A diner rolled up his sleeves, revealing the watch on his wrist: "This is the watch I just bought from the supermarket."

Nekonos' eyes widened, looking at the small and delicate dial on the human's wrist: "Is this... a clock?" It

was exactly the same as the clock hanging in his bedroom, but it was several times smaller!

"No, no, no, this is called a watch. It is a tool that you carry with you and can tell time at any time." The diners introduced: "A clock is a decoration hung on the wall or placed on the table. People outside can never tell the difference."

Nekomus: "Where can I buy a watch?"

Others answered: "In the supermarket, of course!"

Nekomus asked: "What is a supermarket?"

"It's the store opened by Mr. Jiang Li... Don't you even know a supermarket?!"

Other diners couldn't help but interrupt: "Where are you from? How come you don't know anything?"

The devil's eyes wandered: "I..."

Just at this moment, the dishes he ordered were served, and the attention of other diners was quickly diverted, and they all returned to the delicious food in front of them.

"If you come to Dore City, remember to go to the supermarket." The adventurer next to him reminded before turning back.

Nekomus responded thoughtfully.

Supermarket?

Jiang Li?

He is so popular among humans, could he be the brave man often mentioned in human storybooks?
