I have a city that never sleeps

Chu Zhi had already discovered that there was someone following behind him.

He guessed that it was the gambling shop that caused the trouble just now, but there was a playful smile on his face. It happened that he had lost a thousand silver notes, and these people took the initiative to give him the money, which was really considerate.

Just in case, he secretly used the newly learned skill 【Appraisal】 on the two masked men.

[Ding, the identification was successful! 】

【Name: Wang Er

Age: 32

Level: lv37

Character Profile: (Collapsed)]

With just one glance, Chu Zhi got the real information of the masked man. Although using the identification technique will take a certain amount of energy, it is indeed a rare skill.

Finding that the level of the masked man was far lower than him, Chu Zhi had a calculation in his mind.

He raised his eyebrows, pretending not to see the daggers under the cuffs of the two men, put his arms behind his head and whistled leisurely.

Seeing that the masked two were getting closer, the murderous intent in his eyes was getting stronger and stronger, and the smile in his eyes was even thicker. Suddenly, when one of them finally couldn't help stabbing the blade, he dexterously squatted down at the waist.

So the knife was naturally missed, and the masked man was startled, he didn't expect such a sudden change in the scene that was originally a sure win.

And the matter didn't give him time to think at all. The next moment, he noticed that his ankle was clenched tightly by one hand. Looking down, the young man was showing eight white teeth and smiling at him, and then he shook his hands violently. Lift it up.

A strong force grabbed his ankle and threw him flying.

"Fly—!"

The masked man was caught off guard, his body suspended in the air, and his face suddenly turned pale.

But his body flew to the side uncontrollably, and then slammed into the wall.

Chu Zhi only heard a dull loud noise coming from his ear, and there was no echo.

Looking up, the masked man had already fallen in the grass in pain, motionless as if he had lost consciousness.

"...?" Chu Zhi was at a loss as he touched the weapon at his waist with great interest, "Isn't it? I'm dizzy now? Do you still want to chase the young master with this little ability?"

...drawing the knife and looking around in a daze.

But when he turned his head to look at another masked man who was still standing there, a happy smile appeared on his face again: "Fortunately, there is another one here."

Facing his excited eyes, the masked man shuddered suddenly, feeling a sense of fear of being targeted by a ferocious beast.

He looked quite panicked, because he was about the same level of martial arts as Wang Er, and even Wang Er fell under this kid so easily, so he was looking for death when he went up!

The hero didn't suffer the loss in front of him, the masked man stepped back quickly and fled away like a gust of wind.

"Huh???" Chu Zhi was completely stunned by this move. He finally found a way to make money. The money hasn't been left yet, so he can't run away!

"Don't run away, have fun with me!" Chu Zhi hurriedly chased forward.

The identities of the hunter and the hunted have been completely reversed at this time, Chu Zhi smiled and used lightness kung fu to quickly press the masked man, and made a devilish declaration: "Hahaha be careful, I want to catch up with you, I want to catch up with you!" You, if you don’t run faster, you will be caught by me~”

The masked man, who was already nervous, was hit both mentally and physically. His face gradually became pale as paper, and he shouted loudly: "Don't come here!!"

Seeing that the man in black was so resistant to getting in close contact with him, Chu Zhi sighed helplessly, and really stopped in his tracks: "Okay then."

The terrifying figure never came after him again, and the masked man was overjoyed, almost crying with excitement.

However, as soon as the tears rolled in his eyes, a sharp piercing sound pierced through the silence and struck from behind. Before he could react, a piercing pain came from his shoulder.

Now the tears could not be held back anymore, and the masked man fell directly to the ground, looking at the weapon on his back in pain.

To be able to shoot him in the shoulder through a hundred meters, this person is stronger than imagined, and he has to judge the opponent's martial arts skills from the weapon!

But the weapon that caught his eyes surprised him suddenly.

Because it was not a weapon, but a clean kitchen knife.

That's right, it is the kind of kitchen knife commonly used in the back kitchen.

The masked man was stunned: "...a kitchen knife??"

How could it be a kitchen knife? ?

"Could it be...you are a cook???"

"That's right, my master is a cook." Chu Zhi pulled out the kitchen knife and carefully wiped the blood on it, "He is also the best cook in this Jianghu."

The masked man selectively ignored his bragging: "Cooks can also martial arts?"

Chu Zhi smiled: "I'm just a cook, how can I know martial arts!"

"Just now I just used the common throwing technique when killing pigs. I used this trick to kill one by one. Countless pigs died under my knife."

……pig? ?

The masked man listened dumbfounded, but when he turned around, his whole body was shaking with anger.

Does this mean that he was also slaughtered like a pig? ?

How can there be no such reason!Thinking that he had been brilliant and wonderful in his life, he could be regarded as a hero, but in the end he ended up like a pig!

It was still killed by a little cook who didn't even know martial arts!

Anger surged up, and the masked man became more and more angry and desperate as he thought about it, until he suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood and passed out on the ground.

"Huh? I haven't finished talking yet, why are you dizzy?"

Chu Zhi stopped the topic without further ado, with a rather depressed expression on his face, this person didn't even listen to him finish!

"People in the arena nowadays are really rude."

But looking at the two masked men who fell on the ground and could be disposed of at will, a sly smile appeared on Chu Zhi's face again, he squatted down very skillfully, and started to grope.

However, he almost stripped the two of them of their clothes, and he only found a pitiful 500 taels of silver, which was half of what he lost. Chu Zhi sighed helplessly, there was no way, who asked him The troublesome man is a poor man!

He stood up, just about to leave this place of right and wrong, but accidentally caught a glimpse of an old man over fifty years old sitting in the alley behind him.

The old man sat on the ground with a pale face. After sitting for an unknown amount of time, the salute on his side was shattered and could no longer be used. He himself seemed to want to get up, but he couldn't stand up because of the pain in his body.

Looking at that appearance, it is very likely that he witnessed the process of Chu Zhi hurting people.

Seeing Chu Zhi looking over, the old man immediately turned pale with shock, and begged for mercy tremblingly: "...I, I didn't see anything, I really didn't see anything..."

"Hahaha scared the old man." Unexpectedly, the young man on the opposite side showed him a bright smile, and while helping him up, he scratched his head in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, how about this? Take it, it's an apology to you."

The banknotes were randomly stuffed into him, and the stack was thick, which was amazing.

Looking down, it was a full 500 taels of silver bills!

The old man was so frightened that he had never seen a huge sum of 500 taels in his entire life, "This... so much money, give it to me?? This, please don't be joking, how dare this old man take it!"

Chu Zhi couldn't help but put the banknote into his arms, "Take it, take it, I have plenty of money!"

Before the old man refused again, he turned around very quickly and disappeared into the alley quietly, leaving the old man alone holding the bank note stupidly, and burst into tears suddenly.

"Hey, why did I send out all the banknotes just now in a jerk of my brain?"

After walking out of the dark alley, Chu Zhicai clutched his heart with pain on his face, regretting endlessly: "At least I have to save some money for myself, I am really poor now!"

Having said that, he didn't go back to look for the old man again, and even just showed this expression for a moment, and then returned to his cheerful appearance.

I wandered around in Jiangdu, but I couldn't find a place where I could make money quickly. Instead, I came to a large-scale mansion——He Mansion.

At this moment, the He Mansion is full of lights and festoons, and it is very lively. After asking, today is the [-]th birthday of Mr. He. As a well-known family of Jianghu swordsmanship, there is an endless stream of people who come to celebrate the birthday, and the gate is almost closed by the traffic. blocked.

Chu Zhi also wanted to join in the fun and ask for a glass of wine, but he didn't bring a congratulatory gift, and he was dressed in plain clothes, so he was stopped by the housekeeper, saying that this way was blocked.

Chu Zhi pursed his lips depressedly, only thinking that this man was old and dim-sighted, and he couldn't even tell that the number one chef in Jianghu was standing in front of him.

Forget it, if there is no place to keep people here, Chu Zhi turned his eyes, and suddenly walked to the outer wall of the backyard with a smile, and turned over the wall skillfully.

Leap into the inner courtyard with ease.

He made a gesture of victory, and wanted to go directly to the front hall to join the banquet, but when he looked up, he found that the place he entered was the important area of ​​the back kitchen, and he couldn't move anymore.

As a cook, I am very interested in everything related to cooking.

So Chu Zhi didn't even want to change his route and walked directly into the back kitchen.

But the scene that caught his eyes made him very dazed. The back kitchen, which was supposed to be bustling and busy, turned into a mess at this moment. Everyone was arguing about something, and even wandered around impatiently, sighing. .But no one is cooking!

Chu Zhi blinked, and suddenly grabbed the nearest guy next to him and chatted, "What's the matter?"

The waiter was grabbed by his collar and felt that he was almost strangled to death. He coughed dryly and patted his hands, and explained with lingering fear: "Chef Wang suddenly disappeared, and the last big dish served by him was delayed." It was too late to bring it up, so the master was furious, and the kitchen messed up!"

"The chef is missing?" When Chu Zhi heard it, his eyes flashed with curiosity. Today, the old man of the He family had his birthday, and the chef who should have been busy in the back kitchen disappeared. Why do you feel that there is a suspicious atmosphere in it? Woolen cloth?

But at this time, no one in the back kitchen cared about Chef Wang's whereabouts, they just kept sighing and said: "What should I do, only the last fish is left uncooked among the 32 dishes, who can fill the vacancy of Chef Wang! "

"The master is going to be furious. If we can't make a decision, all of us will have to die to apologize!"

"But..." Even after saying this, everyone still looked embarrassed and hesitant, "This dish was also prepared by Chef Wang in the past, and we...wouldn't know how to cook it."

Everyone looked at each other in a dilemma, no one dared to stand out.

So Chu Zhi rolled his eyes, and suddenly stood up with a smile:

"Since everyone is so humble, let me take over this matter."

"...?"

Hearing this, everyone who was arguing turned their attention to him, with blank expressions on their faces.

... Who is this person? ? ?

Wait, do they have such a person in the back kitchen?

"I'm new here." Chu Zhi showed a harmless smile, "The craftsmanship is not bad, why don't you give me a chance?"
