"Eat."
Li Wei looked down at the contents of his bowl: a normal stew of chickpeas, tomatoes, and meat, with a piece of bread stuck in the plate.
But Li Wei wasn't crazy. This normalcy was the biggest abnormality, after all, there was still a section of octopus tentacle dangling from the corner of the stewing pot, and a bone stick sticking upside down in the pot.
You said I could accept seafood stew, but tomato beef? Seriously, if you made me a normal person, I could force myself to eat it, but not now.
"Can I not eat it?"
The proprietress leaned against the bar, propping her cheek with one hand. Hearing Li Wei's words, she could only sigh sadly.
"So I really don't have any talent for cooking? Why doesn't anyone eat my food, even though I've tried my best?"
Those who waste other people's efforts deserve to be kicked to death by a hundred horses.
Li Wei didn't even blink, pretending not to hear, and quietly maintained his sitting posture.
Suddenly, the proprietress clapped her hands and exclaimed in surprise, "Something just happened!"
"Oh, I forgot, the guest doesn't seem to have the money here. Is he worried about not being able to pay the room fee? Consider this first meal my treat for the new guest."
If guests want to earn money, I can provide fishing tools and helmets, or offer work on the ranch. I'll help prepare pitchforks, and various ingredients can be gathered in the forest.
He looked Li Wei up and down, his expression conflicted.
"Forget what I just said, it's okay. A weak little flame is also cute. Actually, being a cleaner in town is fine too, since nobody likes to go out anyway, except for Little Ha who likes to run around."
Then he pulled a bag of dog biscuits from under the bar and put it on the bar.
"If you see a little husky wandering around on the street and it gets bothered by you, use this to get rid of it."
Providing pitchforks on a ranch is fine, but fishing with a helmet? That's definitely not a proper fishing trip.
Li Wei was completely baffled. And the dog that could stay in the Outer God Town was a little husky? Was it a Musishha? Oh my god.
"I want to rest for a while first."
"Okay, please don't go to the other guest rooms, they're still under renovation."
Li Wei, holding a dog biscuit, turned and went upstairs, locked himself in his room, stood by the window, and sighed. "The Outer Gods value beginnings and ends. Can I just not play with you anymore?"
To avoid getting any deeper into trouble, Li Wei simply drew his sword and stabbed himself in the head.
His will returned, and he rubbed his head in front of the corridor door. Looking at the bag of cookies he was supposed to take, he opened the bag and found some small glass spheres inside, but Li Wei could feel something flowing inside.
Li Wei suddenly regretted coming back so early; these dog biscuits were really high-class.
If I had listened to some random landlady who I didn't even know, and gone to the small town to pick up some trash, I might have found a bunch of amazing artifacts.
*Slap!* Li Wei slapped himself, telling himself to stop dreaming. Who knows what kind of huge pitfalls were hidden inside? K's stuff is not for humans to touch.
But since I was able to come back, does that mean, hey~
Just kick the die next to your feet like a ball, and as long as it keeps rolling, creating a logical loop, it's not cheating. Then, head down and start rushing towards the door in the back.
Break down the last door before the dice stop rolling.
Li Wei appeared at the foot of a mountain, and when he looked back, the door had disappeared.
A group of people dressed in black robes were kneeling around them, bowing towards the forest in a full-body prostration.
"The children of darkness are countless, praise forever to the Black Goat of Maison, may its offerings never cease, hear our plea, Mother, have mercy on us."
A hymn is their praise of Him, the mother who gave birth to them, Shub.
But these people, each chanting their own words, mingled together, and their chaotic voices only made people feel irritated.
Ahead lay a winding dirt road, through which black goats of all sizes roamed. Li Wei even spotted a giant goat that was over ten meters tall.
"Oh dear, although I don't mind people using tricks, leveling up and fighting monsters along the way is much easier than forcing your way through like this."
Do you want to go back? I'll give you a chance to start over.
Some words popped into Li Wei's mind, but he ignored them.
He cursed under his breath. Leveling up and fighting monsters? If he angered some big shot on the way, or was captured by some interested big shot and used as a weapon, it was questionable whether he could even get this far.
But Li Wei didn't think he could handle the black goats on the road ahead. When facing an Outer God, the only solution was to use an Outer God.
Just as Li Wei was scratching his head, he suddenly remembered that the Tindaros Hounds feed on time. Throwing these dog biscuit balls out would make the mages outside fight over them, but it was more likely to attract those dogs.
I decided to give it a try and threw all the balls out of my pocket into the forest, leaving only one in the bag.
Then he took out a helmet, put it on backwards, made sure he couldn't see anything, and lay down on the ground to play dead.
After an unknown amount of time, the howling of dogs and the bleating of sheep echoed through the forest, and the violent commotion shook the earth. Suddenly, Li Wei felt something pull away the bag containing the small balls.
After waiting a while longer, and confirming that the only sound in the silence was his own heartbeat, he got up and took off his helmet.
The entire forest looked like it had been bombed by a mass bombing raid; there were fallen trees and debris everywhere, and everything along the way was gone.
Picking up the bag, half of which had been gnawed, I realized how ruthless those mad dogs were; they hadn't left a single survivor in any sense of the word.
If you keep walking along the road, you will see the Goto family's house in the forest.
Pushing open the door, the lively sounds of the murderers outside confirmed that he seemed to have returned. Inside the room, he saw a semi-transparent Goto huddled on the sofa, hugging his legs and crying his heart out.
Seeing Li Wei come in, she raised her arm and wiped away her tears, but they flowed even faster.
"Why did you come to save me? You shouldn't have woken me up. I want to die."
Who wants to save you? But that's such a mood killer.
All I could do was offer words of advice.
"Don't say that, it's too depressing."
"I want to live! I want to live!"
Li Wei scratched his head; the semi-transparent body combined with that sobbing voice sounded even more pitiful.
The half-eaten bag was handed over to the teacher for her to study at her leisure. He returned to the sacrificial site and saw the Fire Keeper sitting quietly on the sofa watching TV while holding a wolf cub.
And in front of her, her little mouth was as sweet as honey, going back and forth between her and her older sister.
Squatting in front of the campfire, Li Wei, munching on a Häagen-Dazs ice cream and feeling utterly melancholy, looked at the ring in his hand that could hold Goto's soul and suddenly wanted to slap himself.
As the saying goes, a wife is a big tree, and a mistress is a small grass. Plant a big tree for shade, and grow a small grass for birdwatching. A harmonious society is about being green and environmentally friendly.
But why did I have such a brain fart to bring her back? I could have just left her with the teacher.
And it seems like I'm still being led around, playing with these ancient monsters whose origins are unknown. Tsk~.
"Uncle, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and go find the world of Bleach. My ability to become stronger depends entirely on you."
Li Wei sighed sadly. Well, not only was his lap pillow gone, but he also got himself into a big mess. Which world he went to was none of his business.
However, looking at the teleportation interface, Night City still has nearly three months to go. The only places they can go are Kro and the Borderlands. Kro just escaped, and the Borderlands are...
Rataen taught Levi a harsh lesson and decided to suspend the offensive. Who knows if they will have other tricks up their sleeves? They don't want to end up wasting their time, ruining the land, and losing their local specialties.
Furthermore, before the principal returns to power, it's best not to provoke those perverts in the border region. The rest are either in their prime or humanoid freaks, neither of whom are worth messing with.
