Zongman: The chef who is not doing his job

"Goodbye, come again when there's a chance!" Standing at the door of the store, Wang Lin waved to Yuan Zhisheng, Caesar, and Chu Zihang who were leaving, and glanced at Lu Mingfei who stayed beside him.

Well, to be precise, it was he who asked Lu Mingfei to stay overnight because Wang Lin wanted to give this kid some special treatment!

Although he had been spoiled, Lu Mingfei probably didn't take it seriously at all, so he needed a more intense stimulation!

"Okay, now you can tell me how you knew those stories in the first place, right?" Seeing that no one was interrupting him, Lu Mingfei continued the secret topic he had been discussing with Wang Lin.

Including Erina, everyone else in the store had left, leaving only Wang Lin and Lu Mingfei.

"We haven't seen each other for a while. Are you just thinking about those stories?" Wang Lin asked jokingly, but he didn't continue to hide it: "Okay, come in. If you want to know something, I can't tell you here, right?"

After returning to the store with Lu Mingfei, Wang Lin, who had been laughing, suddenly turned serious and said solemnly: "Old Lu! Can I trust you?"

Wang Lin's sudden serious attitude made Lu Mingfei's heart tremble. After thinking for a long time, he guaranteed: "As long as it is not harmful to me and the people around me, I absolutely believe you!"

“After all…” Lu Mingfei smiled bitterly: “Many of the stories you told me have come true.”

How could he not believe it? He didn't want to believe it either, but many stories had now become reality before him. If he continued to play dumb, would he regret it only when he was helpless?

“That’s good!” Wang Lin nodded slightly, then pointed to the empty space beside him and said, “Your brother is not simple! I can only see him with my divine eyes.”

Lu Mingfei, Lu Mingze?(?'?'? )??????: "..."

"You...you can see it?" Lu Mingfei asked in surprise, pointing at Lu Mingze.

“It’s barely possible.” Wang Lin nodded: “But I feel like there’s nothing we can do about him right now.”

Xiao Jin Gang's divine eyes did allow Wang Lin to see Lu Mingze, but that was limited to seeing. Lu Mingze's real body should be in another parallel dimension, a bit like an upgraded version of Uchiha Obito's Kamui Space. Unless Wang Lin had the chance to stuff a jade talisman into him, he would not be able to catch this guy.

At least now the dimensional door is not open, so Wang Lin can't catch it.

Lu Mingze looked at Wang Lin curiously. He had known of Wang Lin's existence for a long time, but at that time he just felt that he was an ordinary person who was a bit strange and had special abilities. Now it seems that he underestimated him!

(My brother’s friend is very mysterious!) Lu Mingze made a judgment, but he didn’t think Wang Lin had any ill will towards Lu Mingfei, because he knew that Wang Lin had helped Lu Mingfei a lot in the past.

It's not just spoilers, but also some small things from the past. Even because of Wang Lin, the relationship between Lu Mingfei and his uncle, aunt, and cousin is not as awkward as in the original plot, and they get along much more harmoniously.

Moreover, I didn’t pay attention to it before, but now I realize that I feel like I can’t do anything about Wang Lin.

Even Lu Mingze didn't dare to provoke the living chef god of Daxia! That was a big boss who really had a way to catch and kill him! Besides, Wang Lin's own strength had also grown!

"Actually, I don't know much. At least I don't know your identity. I only know that you are very special." Wang Lin explained mysteriously.

(Listening to your words is like listening to your words...) Lu Mingfei's mouth twitched wildly. He understood that Wang Lin just didn't know what to say, so he asked himself.

"How do you know that story?" Lu Mingfei asked directly. He knew that Wang Lin didn't like nonsense. If he wanted to know, he should just ask. If he didn't want to say it, he wouldn't say it.

"Well, let's read a book." Wang Lin spread his hands and talked nonsense seriously.

Well, Lu Mingfei couldn’t believe it, but he had to believe it. Since he answered, it must be right! He really knew it from reading a book!

"That book..."

“It’s not in this world!” Wang Lin continued with a serious face: “It’s a long fantasy novel from another world. The old thief didn’t finish writing it before I died!”

Lu Mingfei and Lu Mingze (⊙x⊙;)

"You..." Lu Mingfei was speechless. Can you just say that?

"Tsk, I can't even be sure if it's true. Maybe it's just a pipe dream. So, handsome guy, don't take that kind of thing too seriously. The future is meant to be changed, isn't it?" Wang Lin looked indifferent. Why bother thinking so much?

“That’s true…” Lu Mingfei could only nod helplessly, while Lu Mingze nodded slightly. In fact, he had heard of some such cases. Some people with magical means could indeed obtain information from other worlds.

Just like a wizard in the Himalayas.

"That's how it is. I have long forgotten the exact plot. It's useless for you to ask me now, so don't even think about knowing anything." Wang Lin finally said what he wanted to say and spread his hands. What can you do to me?

"Then what do you mean by asking me to stay?" Lu Mingfei blinked and asked in confusion.

"What? Improve your strength!" Wang Lin pointed at him with disdain and said, "You are too weak. Do you know that I can easily knock you down with both my hands and feet? With your current strength, can you still slay a dragon?"

The poor boy looked at his friend speechlessly. Isn’t this too heartbreaking?

"This is the truth! You poor boy, you need a set of all-round enhancements!" Wang Lin took out a jade talisman and handed it to Ming Fei, who had a resentful look on her face.

"What is this?" Lu Mingfei took the jade talisman curiously. It looked like it was quite valuable?

"If you dare to sell it, I will sell you to a gigolo parlor." Wang Lin said expressionlessly. He could guess what this guy was thinking without even looking at him. "Believe me, I can do it!"

Lu Mingfei smiled awkwardly and asked, "So, what is this jade talisman used for?"

"First drop a drop of blood to recognize the master." Wang Lin said, hugging his arms.

Lu Mingze, who was standing by, also looked at the jade talisman and analyzed, "Well, it should be a magic weapon, but its function is unclear. But it should be a harmless thing, without any evil aura."

Seeing that Lu Mingze also said so, Lu Mingfei decided to give it a try, so he asked: "...Ahem, do you have a knife?"

Wang Lin (＃｀д′)?: “…Here!”

I was almost mad to death! You are really awesome!

Of course, it was impossible to hand over the Demonic Knife Thousand Blades. It was just an ordinary fruit knife. Otherwise, it would not be a case of blood recognition, but premeditated murder. Conan would be in trouble.

Lu Mingfei carefully opened a small incision, dripped a drop of blood onto the jade talisman, and then immersed himself in the method of using the jade talisman.

Lu Mingze showed a surprised expression, because he found that the jade talisman separated him and Lu Mingfei from sharing memories! He could no longer check Lu Mingfei's memories as he wished before.

"What is this?" Lu Mingze asked Wang Lin.

"It's an entry ticket to my shop." Wang Lin explained, "It also includes some benefits. Well, it's something that will make your brother stronger, so don't worry."

At this moment, in Lu Mingfei's mind:

[“Sui Zai” joins “Boss Wang’s Dimensional Shop”]

Guest official of the Hall of Rebirth: Welcome newcomers.

The Bard: Newcomer photos!

Feng Ling: Why are new people called "Sui Zai"? Is it very unlucky?

Yuxiu: Ling'er! You are lazy in your practice again! Be careful or Pavilion Master Liu and your master will punish you!

Feng Ling: It's okay, as long as the Pavilion Master doesn't know! Master won't beat me!

Leader of Tianyahaige: Ling'er! Have you forgotten that I am also in the group?

Feng Ling: Ah! (￣ェ￣;) It’s gone!

A series of messages followed immediately afterwards, about Phineas and Ferb, Five Six Seven, and Esdeath, which made Lu Mingfei confused. As a qualified internet addict, how could he not know what these were!

"Holy crap! Chat group?" Lu Mingfei opened his eyes in surprise and asked Wang Lin, "Is this the legendary golden finger? Brother Wang! Are you the group owner? Are you really a big shot?"

“Anyway, I’m sure I’m the Wang Lin you know, from beginning to end.” Wang Lin waved his hand, pointed at the jade talisman and said, “There are some cultivation methods in it. Although most of them are just some martial arts moves, they are enough for you now!”

"Come to my shop when you have a chance. My cooking should also be able to enhance your strength. Hurry up and become stronger, otherwise I will be embarrassed to tell others that I know you! I was counting on you to bring me some special ingredients in the future. Who can I rely on when you are so weak!"

Lu Mingfei was sweating profusely, but then his mouth curled up and he thanked Wang Lin sincerely: "Thank you very much!"

“Hehe, who are we talking to? Why are we being polite?” Wang Lin put his hands on his hips and warned, “Don’t expect the jade talisman to be so powerful. Strength depends mainly on your own practice. Those people from other worlds are all diners of my restaurant. You can only gather in my real restaurant.”

"Enough, enough!" Lu Mingfei nodded excitedly.
