Universe Infinite Canteen-Chapter 731: Midnight Snack

The Ares people are known for their prowess in the Multiverse, and because of their thorny Attributes, their history is filled with trouble-making, making every suppression a tough challenge.

Never has it been as effortless as this time. Once the members of the Council came to their senses, they started popping champagne crazily, celebrating this unparalleled martial feat.

Vice-Councilman Cocobik and Peacekeeping Forces' Chief of Staff Javier Cruz, who led the military operation, even accepted interviews from over sixteen media outlets within 24 hours, greatly promoting their wise leadership.

Upon hearing this, Ma Lu also breathed a sigh of relief. His business was booming, and of course, he did not wish for too much turmoil in the Universe.

Although this news somewhat affected the customer flow to Universe Infinite Canteen, those customers from Different Dimensions who had previously fled to Earth to escape the war were now secretly packing to return.

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on freёwebnoѵel.com.

As soon as the war ends, most people prefer to return to life in The Grand Alliance rather than stay in such a wild and blocked area like Earth.

Lately, many customers dining at Universe Infinite Canteen have also been talking about returning, even complaining about the Fairy Dragon Smuggling Group taking the opportunity to hike up ticket prices.

Just going back and forth, without doing anything, they've lost 20,000 Star Currency just on ship tickets. Despite the complaints, many are still booking tickets back, and now the price of a single ticket has even risen to 12,000.

Witnessing this, Ma Lu couldn't help but feel a bit envious. If his Plane Spaceship were repaired, he could also work part-time running an interstellar rideshare.

Unfortunately, he can only watch the Fairy Dragon Smuggling Group earn this money.

Unable to get in on the big deal, Ma Lu could only turn to Jin Xin Plumbing and Hardware Department Store to make a smaller profit.

Yan Wu, seeing Ma Lu purchasing a bunch of junk again, had a hint of curiosity on his face.

This could be considered Ma Lu helping him, clearing a lot of the stock that had been unsold for years, and Yan Wu should thank Ma Lu.

But knowing Ma Lu's nature, the Werewolf Boss understood he wasn't someone who got up early for no profit. It didn't make sense for him to suddenly become so generous and engage in charity.

This made Yan Wu a bit curious. He stopped Ma Lu, "Don't rush off."

"What is it?" Ma Lu was very cautious. "I've already paid you."

"I know. I got a leg of lamb and I'm planning to have a barbecue tonight. Come have a drink with me," said Yan Wu. "We haven't gathered in a long time. You can invite those Valkyrie People too."

Although somewhat reluctant, Ma Lu considered that Yan Wu was his angel investor, who provided him with the initial startup fund, so he couldn't just reject the offer outright and replied.

"Alright then, but my restaurant still has to open for business tonight."

"I know, no problem, I can wait for a midnight snack with you all." The Werewolf Boss squeezed out a smile.

After sending off the last customer in the evening, Ma Lu packed those Valkyrie folks into two shoe boxes and placed them in the trunk.

Thinking it over, he also brought a piece of the supersonic flatfin billfish meat that Old Wang had processed, planning to give it to Yan Wu as a gift.

Just as he was about to set off, Sun Mei ran out.

"Do you need that piece of billfish meat cooked?"

"No need, it's already off-hours now. You should head back early too," Ma Lu said.

"But I want to practice with that piece of meat."

Sun Mei didn't budge, "That's an 8-star ingredient, right? I know it's precious, and with my culinary skills, I haven't had the chance to handle such rare ingredients, but if you're going to have it cooked by someone other than our Chef, you might as well let me do it."

"......"

"Then get in the car."

Ma Lu himself couldn't understand the behavior of working for free overtime for the company after hours, but he still opened the passenger door.

Overjoyed, Sun Mei immediately climbed into the car and it wasn't until she buckled her seatbelt that she asked, "Where are we going?"

"To see a friend."

Ma Lu shifted the gear to D, then let go of the brakes, and the car began to move, entering the street on the roadside.

Sun Mei lowered her voice, "Are we going to see those guests from a different dimension?"

Ma Lu nodded, then shook his head, "He's different from other guests from different dimensions, he's spent more time on this planet than either of us, by comparison, he's more like a native here, even helped Empress Dowager Cixi with the drainage."

"Wow, he must be really old then?" Sun Mei exclaimed in surprise, "Such a long-lived person, I wonder how different their dietary habits are from ours."

"What, do you want to learn his secrets to longevity?"

"No, the Chef says that if you want to become a Cosmic Chef, you must understand every customer's dietary preferences, and I'm working hard to fill in that gap in my knowledge," Sun Mei said.

Since Ma Lu had opened that door for her, she had become like a sponge, desperately absorbing nutrients in order to quickly familiarize herself with the characteristics of new ingredients, and now she was sleeping less than four hours a day.

Yet, despite this, her spirit remained undimmed; she didn't feel tired at all.

From this perspective, Ma Lu quite admired Sun Mei; he couldn't do it, lacking the perseverance and passion to keep repeating the same thing, always wanting to start new projects when idle.

The same went for romantic relationships; apart from the first one, which lasted longer due to the novelty of first love, the rest didn't go well. It was exciting at the beginning, but inevitably boring over time.

Ma Lu always felt that the happiest time in a relationship was actually the ambiguous period when both parties were interested but hadn't made it official yet. That kind of mutual tug-of-war and constant testing was the sweetest and most thrilling, stimulating the secretion of dopamine to its maximum.

Once they really got together, the relationship lost its initial excitement; the ancient exaltation of a harmonious marriage, treating each other with utmost respect, seemed like a terrifying state to him.

Ma Lu would also reflect on whether such thoughts meant he was too led astray. He had discussed this issue with Shen Yue before, and just as Shen Yue said.

It's challenging for people to live against their instincts, especially for those like them who live in the moment and don't like restrictions.

However, Ma Lu had made progress too, realizing that when attempting to establish a close relationship with someone else, it was best to inform the other party of his situation in advance.

If the other party was willing to accept, then it wouldn't be too late to continue.
