Rankster was still immersed in the shock brought by the exceedingly powerful potential of the service staff and the little girl in this restaurant, when a voice interrupted his thoughts.

  “Your ‘Buddha Jumps Over the Wall’, red braised pork, beggar’s chicken and the eggplant with garlic sauce.” Miya placed the dishes on her tray in front of Rankster and opened the cover of the little urn that contained the ‘Buddha Jumps Over the Wall’.

  A rich meaty aroma surged out instantly.

  This was the first ‘Buddha Jumps Over the Wall’ that was ordered that night. The meaty aroma spread instantly and many customers looked over.

  Meanwhile, Rankster who was sitting in front of the ‘Buddha Jumps Over the Wall’, looked dazed right now.

  This smells so good!

  There was a mesmerizing liquor aroma in the midst of the meaty aroma. He simply couldn’t imagine what kind of ingredients were used and how it was cooked to make such an aromatic and rich soup.

  “I’m afraid that even the gods and buddhas would climb over the wall when they smell this…” Rankster murmured as he instantly understood the meaning behind the dish’s name.

  There were all kinds of ingredients floating in the thick brown soup. They were visually soft but they still maintained their shapes. They didn’t break apart due to the long cooking process.

  Rankster wasn’t particular towards food. Becoming stronger constantly was his goal. As for food, as long as it was edible.

  However, he felt a craving for this soup right now.

  “Thud.” Miya knocked on the beggar’s chicken’s mud casing gently with a small wooden hammer and cracks appeared all over it. Then, it opened up like a lotus flower and revealed the golden beggar’s chicken inside it.

  The roast chicken’s aroma spread after the mud casing was removed and Rankster couldn’t help shifting his gaze over.

  “This roast chicken looks great too!” Rankster’s eyes lit up. The golden roast chicken that was glistening had an enticing smell. It still maintained its unique aroma even under the suppression of the ‘Buddha Jumps Over the Wall’.

  “Please enjoy.” Miya put away the hammer and walked to the kitchen.

  Rankster brought the little pot over and scooped a spoonful of soup into his mouth.

  The liquor aroma had seeped into the soup and it filled his taste buds gradually. He couldn’t differentiate if that mesmerizing taste was liquor or soup at that moment.

  How did the taste of so many scrumptious ingredients get into this tiny mouthful of soup? Not only was it not abrupt, the rich layers were intoxicating. This was a master level’s cooking technique.

  He ate another mouthful of meat. The soft and tender chicken had a rich meaty aroma. It was soft but not mushy when chewed, and there was an endless aftertaste.

  He scooped up a piece of shark’s fin and the smooth shark’s fin glided into his mouth immediately. The shark’s fin that was soaked by the soup had a very special texture and beautiful taste. It brought a completely different experience from the chicken.

  Rankster felt a mild numbness on his scalp and sweat appeared on his forehead. He had never experienced such extreme tastiness before.

  The whole small pot of ‘Buddha Jumps Over the Wall’ ended up in his stomach very quickly.

  He put down the clean little soup pot and licked his lips, wishing for more.

  Looking at the clean pot, he felt surprised and amused at the same time.

  Harrison and Gjerj raised their eyebrows in shock.

  This mister gulped down the 10,000-copper coins-per-helping ‘Buddha Jumps Over the Wall’ as if he was just drinking a bowl of hot soup before his main course.

  Unfortunately, they had no idea that to Rankster, this was already a very refined way of eating. After all, he was using a spoon for the first time in his life.

  ?Rankster thought as he picked up that golden roast chicken.

  The roast chicken wasn’t small. If they measured the food portion for humans, it was just enough for one meal for an adult.

  Rankster tore a chicken thigh off and then bit off half of it with a single bite.

  The crispy chicken skin broke off easily and the tender chicken meat dissolved in his mouth. The fattiness and freshness that belonged to a chicken blossomed instantaneously on the taste buds on the tip of his tongue immediately.

  Before he could chew, the chicken slid down his throat like a naughty little chick.

  It was tender and tasted unique. This unexpected scrumptiousness stumped Rankster.

  Different from the chicken in the ‘Buddha Jumps Over the Wall’, this chicken had a roasted fragrance which elevated the meat into the main character.

  “Amazing!” Rankster relaxed his eyebrows, feeling captivated by this chicken.

  He ate the remaining half chicken drumstick. He even chewed and swallowed the crispy chicken bone.

  “Gulp.” Harrison’s Adam apple moved; he was just casually looking at this mister who looked righteous but ate ravenously.

  However, the way that he ate… looked rather appetizing. It made them feel hungry.

  Gjerj gave him a look, hinting to him not to stare at Rankster.

  Judging from the way he ate, this gentleman shouldn’t be a human.

  The orcs retained certain orcs’ characteristics even when they resembled humans, like the kitten ears of the kitten-eared woman and the bushy tail of the vixen lady.

  The majority of the demons didn’t bother to look like humans. They had a proud sense of racial superiority.

  Therefore, this gentleman most likely came from Dragon Island and was a giant dragon.

  A giant dragon wasn’t to be messed around with. They shouldn’t try to antagonize a giant dragon even when they were in Chaos City.

  Harrison retracted his gaze and turned to look at the kitchen, wondering when his dishes would be served.

  Rankster finished the whole beggar’s chicken before gulping down the entire glass of water at the side. He felt rather sated.

  He seemed to understand why these maidens chose to stay on in this restaurant now. He deemed this boss’ culinary skills to be the strongest that he had ever encountered.

  As for his earlier thoughts, he had completely forgotten about them.

  A chef with such extraordinary culinary skills must have spent the majority of his efforts on improving his culinary skills, so he couldn’t be Alex.

  Since he wasn’t Alex, it didn’t matter who he was. He was just an ordinary man to him.

  Then, he turned his gaze to the remaining red braised pork and the eggplant with garlic sauce.

  The eggplant with garlic sauce looked just like a fish, but if he looked closer, he would realize that it wasn’t a fish but a whole eggplant that was carved out to look like a fish.

  “A vegetarian dish?” Rankster frowned.

  He killed, drank alcohol and ate meat from the time that he was born. He had never eaten vegetarian food before.

  He had never eaten any vegetarian food even during his worst time at the bottom of the ravine.

  He looked up and saw the busy Yabemiya. When he thought that this was the dish that she had highly recommended, he picked up the chopsticks with hesitation.

  “For Miya’s sake, I will take one bite.” He picked up a bit of eggplant and popped it into his mouth.
