Chapter 86

In a plain wasteland north of Dore City.

The black dragon Savile lay exhausted on the ground, his golden dragon pupils reflecting the deep blue night sky full of stars. There was pain all over his body from being beaten up, and even the tip of his tail could not be lifted.

In comparison, although the red dragon Serego did not look much better than him, it still stubbornly climbed up from the ground and was scratching the ground with its claws, looking for the scales and other materials that fell from the dragon's body.

The black dragon looked away, and not far away, a row of small bottles filled with dragon blood were neatly placed next to him, shining brightly in the moonlight.

This must be the most frustrating battle he has ever fought.

There was no way to fight to your heart's content. Before you could even hit them twice, your opponent would hastily call a halt and go to the ground to pick up the fallen materials. He would rather wait patiently for the dragon blood in the wound to dry up than finish the fight in one go.

In the end, the fight was over, and you were still injured, but it was more frustrating than losing.

"Hey, Serego," the black dragon shouted, "What do you want to do by collecting these things? When did you learn the curse?"

Serego replied without turning his head, "They can be exchanged for money."

"Exchange for money?" The black dragon's voice suddenly rose, and he repeated loudly, "Exchange for money?!"

"Do you know how expensive it is to live in a human city?" Serego retorted even louder, "The magic car alone costs tens of thousands of gold coins!"

"Magic car, what is that? Besides, you are a giant dragon, and you actually gave your treasure to humans?" The black dragon sneered, "Serego, we haven't seen each other for hundreds of years, and you actually started to bow to humans?"

After carefully searching the land to make sure there were no lost materials, Serego picked up the bottle filled with dragon blood placed aside. He looked at the results of today with satisfaction. There were some that belonged to him and some that belonged to the black dragon. It was a great harvest.

It seemed that he would soon be able to save enough money to buy a magic car.

"That's not an ordinary human." Serego replied, "He is very powerful, and smart dragons will not fight against him."

The black dragon bared its sharp fangs: "Showing goodwill to a group of ants? Serego, the dragons will be ashamed of you."

"You don't understand." Serego looked at him with sympathy. That look made the black dragon spit a mouthful of venom at him, but he dodged it flexibly. The venom fell to the side, and the ground made a horrible sizzling sound as it was corroded by the venom. "You have no idea how amazing that human being is. Saville, have you ever eaten chili?"

"...What is that?"

"Saville, do you still like to eat glu beef?" Serego looked at him sympathetically: "But it's not skinned, bled, or deodorized, and no seasoning is added. You must have never eaten glu beef that is cooked just right and incredibly tender like a lamb, right?"

Black Dragon opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know how to refute him.

What? How else can you eat glu beef?

Isn't it always eaten raw?

The red dragon spread its wings, its huge figure blocked out the full moon hanging high in the night sky. He raised his head and said proudly: "Let's go, Savile. Since you have come from afar, I will let you see the most delicious Gru beef in the world."

...

Levi's restaurant.

The demon king Nebosu carefully observed the food in front of him.

The unfamiliar red vegetables were cut into small pieces and intertwined with the golden eggs. The monster meat exuded a sour and sweet aroma. The snow-white fish fillets were soaked in soup, and the bright red peppers exuded a pungent aroma that made you salivate.

Compared with the half-cooked monster meat in the demon king's city, the dishes in front of him were much better than the former in terms of appearance and aroma.

Nekomis recognized that the aroma that attracted him to Dore City was a crop called pepper.

With the expectation of rushing all the way here, the Demon King carefully scooped up a spoonful of fish fillet with a spoon.

Fish is not a common food in the Demon King's City. First of all, there are too many fish bones, which often get stuck in the throat. The taste of raw fish is definitely not delicious. Most of the fish living in the Red Lake of the Demon King's City look weird and skeletal, and there is no edible meat on their bodies. The fish

in front of him, the snow-white fish meat was cut into fish fillets as thin as cicada wings. The superb knife skills made the fish fillets so thin that they were almost translucent. Nekomus carefully put the fish fillet into his mouth and searched carefully with his teeth. To his surprise, he did not find the fish bones that bothered him. The fish fillet was tender and smooth, without any fishy smell, and slid down his throat into his stomach.

Huh?

Nekomus looked at the big bowl of fish fillet soup in front of him in surprise.

Is this what fish tastes like?

He scooped up the sauerkraut in the fish soup. The sauerkraut was pickled in the pickle workshop in Dolei City and is now a hot-selling product. Nekomus took a bite and it was crisp and appetizing. Even the fish soup became sour and delicious.

Under the effect of chili and Sichuan pepper, Nekomus had a thin layer of sweat on his back as soon as the fish soup entered his mouth. But he was reluctant to stop. Just as he had imagined before coming here, the food here was incredibly delicious.

Spoonfuls of fish slices were scooped up, and the pickled fish soup was visibly decreasing. Just as the Demon King was enjoying his meal, the adventurer at the next table patted him again.

Nekomus lifted it up, and the adventurer kindly handed him a bowl of rice: "I see you didn't order any rice. Eating here must be paired with rice to make it more delicious. This is the rice grown in our Dolei City."

Nekomus hesitated for a while and took it.

The crystal clear rice grains were full like pearls, piled up, exuding a sweet scent, a boiling fragrance that he had never smelled before.

He took a bite. Although it was sweet and soft, it was a little bland.

The adventurer next to him reminded him: "Mix the food with rice. That's the best way to eat it."

Nekonos chose the fish soup he had just enjoyed .

After being soaked in the fish soup, the originally bland rice absorbed the soup and became particularly delicious. The rice grains became distinct and diluted the slightly salty taste of the fish soup. The combination of the two had an effect that went beyond the original taste!

Before he knew it, a bowl of fish soup with rice was finished.

He looked down at the empty bowl and decisively added a bowl of rice for himself.

Just as the adventurer at the neighboring table said, not only the tender and sour fish fillet, but the other dishes on the table also go perfectly with rice. The rice complements the other dishes. The original dishes are delicious enough, and when paired with rice, the taste is even better.

Soon, he devoured all the dishes and a large bowl of rice on the table.

The adventurer at the neighboring table also finished his dinner. Seeing the neat plate in front of him, he was surprised and said, "I can't believe that you have such a big appetite despite your thin appearance."

Demon King Nekomus nodded and took out a wallet from his pocket.

He knew that human cities needed to use coins to purchase goods. Although this was not in line with the plundering style of the demons, it could save a lot of trouble. It just so happened that human coins were useless to him.

According to these humans, these foods were invented by the human named Jiang Li?

Interesting.

...

Not long after the demon king left.

The black dragon Saville followed his red counterpart into the same restaurant.

He looked at the crowded lobby and said unhappily, "Serego, do we have to sit with humans?"

"Yes."

"But..."

Serego opened the menu, "This is my city, don't you want to eat delicious gru beef?"

"..."

The black dragon had to endure it. It was not just gru beef, but more importantly, he smelled the dragon-luring scent in the air. The various scents penetrated the dragon's nose with his sensitive sense of smell, making the dragon drool.

When the table full of gru beef dishes appeared in front of him, the black dragon could hardly maintain his human form and almost revealed his dragon face.

"This aroma is..."

"Let's start with this." Serego brought a plate of spiced beef jerky to him: "This is the least spicy."

Saville smelled the familiar smell of meat jerky, just like the one that the red dragon had sent him before.

The whole plate of beef jerky was cut into thin slices, and the cross-section with distinct texture could be clearly seen. He couldn't wait to pick up the plate and pour the whole plate of meat jerky into his mouth. Before opening his mouth, he noticed the red dragon opposite him out of the corner of his eye.

Serego was enjoying his boiled beef, picking up a piece of meat with a fork and enjoying it slowly. For some reason, the black dragon put it on the plate and picked up the knife and fork beside it.

He used human tools not very skillfully, but fortunately he successfully delivered the beef jerky to his mouth.

It tasted exactly the same as the jerky sent before, but it had not been through the long journey of the magic bird. The jerky just out of the brine was at its peak of deliciousness, softer and more flavorful than what Savier had eaten before.

He soon discovered the benefits of eating in human form. A small plate of beef would not be enough to fill the gaps between teeth if it were a dragon form, but the human form could savor it for a long time, making the delicious taste last longer.

But no matter how long it lasted, it could not resist the huge appetite of the dragon.

After licking the plate clean, Saville raised his head with a sense of unsatisfied desire, and saw Serego across from him still slowly savoring the bowl of red beef gru, but he never stopped even though he was sweating all over and his cheeks were red.

The rich aroma floating in the air was also tempting him.

"What is this?" It smelled delicious.

Black Dragon directly brought the whole bowl over.

Serego was startled and quickly stretched out his hand to stop him: "Wait!"

But Black Dragon was faster than him. After bringing the bowl over, he tilted his head back and poured the boiled beef into his mouth.

"Saville!"

... So spicy!

Black Dragon's whole dragon froze.

What is this? Why is it so spicy? !

But he tasted it. The beef in the hot soup was incredibly tender. It was the familiar Gru beef, but it was as soft as a lamb, as if it would melt with a sip.

But! Why is it so spicy!

Black scales appeared on Savile's face, and his back began to flutter. His wings couldn't help but want to drill out. His face was ferocious, and his face switched between human face and dragon head. He could hardly control his human shape.

I really want to--

"No!"

Serego rushed over at the fastest speed in his life, pinched his dragon mouth, made him swallow the venom that was about to burst out of his mouth, and slapped back the wings that were about to emerge from his back. Dragon language magic came out of his mouth, turning into shackles to bind the black dragon tightly.

"You can't change back to your original form here!"

Otherwise you will have to pay a lot of money!

...

Early in the morning, Jiang Li got up as usual and came to the other world to open the supermarket.

He turned on the sausage machine, put the frozen sausage into the machine, and heard the customers who came in talking about what happened yesterday.

"Did you see it yesterday? A giant dragon came out from nowhere and wanted to break into Dore City. Fortunately, it was stopped by Serego."

"Another dragon?!"

Jiang Li also pricked up his ears to listen.

"Yes, it seems to be a familiar dragon of Lord Serego. Later, they went to Levi's restaurant and almost fought there again."

"Fortunately, the young city lord arrived in time and asked them all to leave."

Someone next to him interrupted: "Why did I hear that a demon broke in?"

"What?! Demons?!"

"Dore City is so far away from the Demon King's City, how could there be demons?"

Even Jiang Li was worried and looked over nervously.

"It's true. I was preparing to enter the city at the city gate at that time. I saw the magic circle at the city gate light up with my own eyes, and then the dragon appeared at the city gate. I heard that the dragon seemed to come from the Demon King's City, so it was contaminated with the breath of the demons and was detected by the magic circle."

Everyone in the supermarket was scared and pale.

"However, the dragon has already left Dore City and will probably never come back."

"I heard that dragons are very careful about their territories and if you intrude without permission, it will be considered an attack. They went to Levi's restaurant together yesterday. It should be just Serego's friends who came to visit."

"It's just a dragon, not a demon."

"Dore City is so far away from the Demon King's City. Even if there are demons there, they should just be minions..."

"That's right, how could the demons come here?"

"If a demon army shows up, they will definitely be discovered on the road."

Jiang Li pricked up his ears and listened attentively to the gossips among the guests, and didn't even notice when a guest stood in front of the cashier.

"...Hello." The guest called again.

Jiang Li quickly came back to his senses: "Hello, what do you want?"

The guest standing in front of the cashier was wearing a loose black robe and a hood, hiding his whole body tightly, revealing only a pale and bloodless face, looking terminally ill, and not having much time left. What is worrying is that he has a pair of scarlet eyes.

Although he has seen the colorful hair and eyes of people in other worlds, Jiang Li subconsciously took another look.

At the moment of looking at each other, there was a flash of something strange, and Jiang Li felt uncomfortable in his heart, but this illusion was as short-lived as dew. The customer opposite took the initiative to look away, and the illusion disappeared.

It should be just an illusion? Jiang Li thought.

If it was a demon, he would have been detected by the magic circle before entering Dolei City.

"Are you Jiang Li?" The Demon King said, "It's a little different from what I imagined."

Jiang Li touched his nose uncomfortably: "What's different?"

Nekomus didn't say anything.

He thought: In human storybooks, heroes are always powerful and brave, and the shopkeeper in front of him looks like just a more handsome human, nothing special.

Nekomis continued, "I heard that the supermarket you opened is the most magical store in this city. I've seen the clocks in the supermarket, they are really good, and the food here is delicious."

Jiang Li said humbly, "Supermarkets just try their best to meet the daily needs of nearby residents. They sell everything, and they are not that magical."

Nekomis raised his head: "Can everything be met?"

Jiang Li: "..."

He opened a supermarket, not a wish store.

The devil said, "I want to find something interesting."

"Interesting things?" Jiang Li was puzzled: "What?"

Nekomus said carefully: "The place where I live is a little far away. I have lived there for a long time. My...neighbors are keen on going out to explore and often invite me to join, but I am not interested."

Nekomus: "Most of the time, I stay with my pet. He likes to count his collections day after day and never gets tired of it. I don't have that kind of fun."

Nekomus: "I want to find something. I hope it is at least interesting, and it would be best if it can kill time. After all, I will probably live a long time."

Nekomus said lightly: "Will this store have what I want?"

Jiang Li understood.

A dead otaku in another world.
