Chapter 277: An Upright and Noble Chef Who Is Separated from Vulgar Interest (2/2)
”Of course, just wait for the good news.”
——
After the conversation with his Master, w.a.n.g Lu went straight to the Misty Peak Cafeteria.
Speaking about shortcut, wasn’t it obvious? Going westbound, the biggest problem was its unfamiliar-ness. Therefore, within the group of translators, those who acted as the guide was actually a group of Daoist Masters or Supreme who relied on brute force. Actually, when it came to the guide, there was already a readily available guide here.
Through years of day to day communication, w.a.n.g Lu was very clear that their Western Continent chef was not an ordinary person. Her speech and mannerism all reflected the characteristics of a member of the upper-cla.s.s people in the Western Continent. When he occasionally talked in-depth with her, it was clear that she was experienced and knowledgeable.
These characteristics usually belonged to people with n.o.ble origin, far better than those so-called professional guides expensively hired by the Excavation Management from the west coast of Nine Regions. These guides were nothing more than locals who lived for a period of time on the eastern part of the Western Continent. Most of them were of civilian origin, which barely qualified them as part of the expeditionary team. If you want them to help find an item that has been lost for more than ten thousand years in the Western Continent, it would simply be indulging in fantasy.
After he entered the cafeteria, w.a.n.g Lu didn’t immediately get to the point. Instead, he ordered several dishes first and finished them all as fast as he could, making the chef smile before he cut to the chase.
”Aya, have you ever heard a treasure that could split the heaven and earth apart (epoch-creation) in your Western Continent?”
Aya blinked her pair of green eyes and said with a smile, ”Of course, and there are many of them. Solely based on what I know, for the various ethnicities in the Western Continent, there are no less than a thousand of creation legends. Among which, for the objects that are used for that, there are nearly one hundred of them…”
w.a.n.g Lu said, ”The more specific thing about it is, not only it has a genuine epoch-making ability, but it’s also, according to the standard here, an immortal treasure.”
Aya said with amazement, ”That’s some high requirement! Epoch-creation, but also immortal treasure… Then there’s only one that meets those requirements. As far as I know, Golden King’s Creation Sword is a genuine epoch-creation sword. Why? Do you want to find it?”
”Exactly. Actually, if possible, I wish that you, Aya, can go together with me.”
Aya seemed quite surprised by w.a.n.g Lu’s invitation. ”You want me to go with you? I’m afraid I can’t.”
w.a.n.g Lu said with a smile, ”Rest a.s.sured, this is a publicly funded travel with unlimited budget. All expense is paid for!”
Just as his voice fell, Aya’s face turned serious as she said, ”I’m sorry, then I can’t do it even more.”
”Excuse me?” w.a.n.g Lu curiously looked at Aya.
Aya sternly said, ”I oppose using public money for private use.”
”…”
In the face of Aya’s extremely righteous countenance, w.a.n.g Lu was stunned speechless.
”You, you say you’re opposed to using public money…”
Aya nodded. ”From as small as a family to as big as a country, I always work according to the rules. As for public money, even a tiny bit of it I always deal with carefully and prudently, never arbitrarily spending them at will; this is my standard of conduct.”
w.a.n.g Lu asked, ”You actually can say these words righteously… all these years, have your Misty Peak cafeteria never taken any public banquet money?”
Aya’s voice became even more indifferent. ”Never has, so no need to persuade me anymore. The cafeteria is closed now, please come back again tomorrow.” At the end of her sentence, her voice has turned cold.
When he came out of Misty Peak cafeteria, w.a.n.g Lu finally scolded himself for being muddled.
With Aya’s craft, which braindead elder would want to spend public money to eat and drink in Misty Peak Cafeteria? And even if they don’t cherish the public money, they definitely cherish their own stomach!
Alas, no wonder Aya is angry. In the end, she is indeed a chef who is separated from vulgar interest.
But, the more you’re like that, the more I want you. Hehe, as a qualified chef, how can you s.h.i.+rk the heavy responsibility of saving the world?
