I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

The stunned kitchen staff began to stir. Had their head chef's cooking been so bad that it had angered this person?

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sound of spatulas clattering filled the air, and everyone's attention turned to the second-in-command in the kitchen, second only to the head chef.

"Ahem, you all saw what happened just now. Tomorrow at the head chef's house, there will be ten people per table, with nine dishes and a soup per table. There's no need for a handover ceremony or anything like that. From now on, the kitchen will be under my management."

"it is good!"

Former head chef: Good heavens, a traitor is right next to me?!

On the other side, the head chef, who had been dragged out by Yan Ziming, was nearly scared out of his wits. He naturally recognized who this person was and immediately realized that his life was in danger. He then cried and begged for mercy.

"Your Majesty, I was wrong, I was really wrong! I have an eighty-year-old daughter to support and a ten-year-old grandmother to raise. Please, in your great mercy, give me another chance, just one! Just one more time!"

Yan Ziming dragged him into an empty private room and asked, "Is it convenient to sell your secret recipe for the juicy sausage sauce?"

ahle?

The chef's eyes suddenly widened into two beans, then he realized he had completely misunderstood. He laughed awkwardly a few times, rubbed his hands together, and said, "Um... if it's Your Majesty, then of course it's fine..."

This store is just a subsidiary of his family's business. He's just here to experience life. He can make his own decisions about this, as long as it doesn't lead to his own demise.

You pay the price.

Yan Ziming watched him quietly, which put immense pressure on him. He was afraid that he would quote too high a price, causing the other party to become unhappy and then eliminate him.

After thinking for a long time, he finally held up one finger and struggled to say, "One million..."

"for you."

Yan Ziming casually tossed out an orange obsidian crystal, something she had planned long ago.

With his influence already established, the other party certainly wouldn't dare to offer a high price. Yan Ziming also didn't want to owe anyone anything in this matter, so no matter what price the other party offered, he would repay tenfold.

"Give me the secret recipe."

"Oh...oh oh..."

The chef, in a daze, wrote down a long list of ingredients and steps on a piece of paper. Yan Ziming took it and left. It took the chef a long time to realize what had happened.

—I have grasped the future in my hands.

The chef thought to himself as he looked at the obsidian crystal in his hand, which shone with an orange glow.

He staggered back to the kitchen, where the kitchen staff stared at him as if he were a ghost.

"Hey, isn't this the original head chef of Ten Miles of Fragrance? You offended Lord Thunderstorm Knight and still managed to come back alive? You're really lucky. Take this fifty bucks and get lost! Don't drag us down with you!"

The usurper chef wore a mocking expression, his words dripping with venom. The others echoed, "That's right, that's right, get out of here, don't drag us down with you. The chef here is Brother Feng now!"

The original head chef was so angry he jumped up and down, "You've all rebelled! You've all rebelled! If you offend me, there will be no place for you in Shili Piaoxiang anymore!"

"You? Just because you were the original head chef of Ten Miles of Fragrance? Loser!"

Just then, a well-dressed man walked in. He was the shop owner, and he shouted, "What have you been yelling about all this time? Get to cooking!"

Then he bowed respectfully to the head chef, "Young master, please rest for a while."

"What? You're actually the chairman's son?"

The usurper, who had just been called Brother Feng, suddenly revealed an expression of impending doom.

"Ah......"

The former head chef's lips gradually curled upwards, reaching all the way to his ears.

The Crooked-Mouthed War God requests to join the battle!

43. A surprise attack!

"Grandma is a bear."

When Mu Mu arrived in this desolate Russian territory, a cold wind swept over him, and he couldn't help but swear.

She had just enjoyed a wonderful day and night, and was thinking of sleeping in bed for a whole day when she was sent to this godforsaken place. What for? To grow potatoes?

Sometimes, this vast territory isn't necessarily a good thing. Russia has a small population, so there are many places they can't even reach, they don't have absolute control over their own land, and they can't be informed of major events happening in many places immediately.

For example, as Si Mo said, she fought a major battle with Qing in Russia, but the Russians were completely unaware, thus missing the golden opportunity to find the Gu King.

That's a super battle between the world's number one and number two! Their battle can only be described as earth-shattering. Your intelligence capabilities are just ridiculous!

In conclusion, Russia's strategic depth is too great, and its sphere of influence only covers a small portion of the country.

Even their investigation of the insect nests was a comprehensive investigation that could only be accomplished by working with China!

Otherwise, with their small population, it would take them an unknown amount of time to search the entire territory of Russia.

"Don't be so dissatisfied, your sister came here to accompany you, didn't she?"

Mu Mu was standing next to Mo Sheng, one of the top combatants sent to support Russia in eliminating the queen insects. She would be stationed here for a period of time.

"Let's get started, I need to get back to rest soon. It's said that traces of the Mirage Dragon and the Gu King were discovered here, right? And it happened half a month ago."

“That’s right, that’s what Sister Zimo said.”

Mo Sheng's expression gradually turned serious. The Mirage Dragon was definitely a major threat. Its appearance in Russia alarmed the entire Russian high command, who immediately declared a state of high alert and even launched the 'Fire Seed' project.

The Russian side has also sent people on their way, led by Andrei, but their group is quite large and will arrive later.

"Let's get started. The first priority is to find the Gu King. It's said to look like a cockroach?"

"Find it first, then we'll talk!"

The two ninth-tier individuals began a large-scale search of the area and quickly found the place where Si Mo and Qing had fought. It was so easy to find that even after half a month, the place was still a mess. The deep pits were like the work of nature, and just one look was enough to show how terrible the place had been.

"Tsk tsk, I really don't understand. The fighting was so fierce, how come the Russians didn't notice anything at all? What's going on?"

"Every family has its own problems, right?"

Mu Mu and Mo Sheng could see a thousand meters ahead with their eyes, taking in every slightest movement, but they still couldn't find any trace of the Gu King.

They didn't have high hopes for this mission to begin with, after all, it happened half a month ago. With the capabilities of the mirage dragon, half a month would be enough time for it to travel all over the five continents.

What truly troubled them was the fact that the Mirage Dragon and the Gu King were together; both of them were at the Sequence level and had grand ambitions, posing a significant hidden danger.

Even if we don't find the Gu King this time, the reward would be substantial enough if we could find its trail and deduce its location.

Remembering Yan Ziming's previous troubles, Mu Mu couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you find a new mysterious ability user? Why didn't you let her come?"

"For her ability to locate enemies, she must first see the target in person and remember some characteristic of the target before she can track them. Bringing her here won't be very effective, and... the risk is too high. She's too weak."

"That's better than nothing! I'll have my good disciple bring her here, and once we find some clues, we'll send her back."

Mu Mu acted immediately, giving Mo Sheng no chance to refuse. She picked up the phone, rattled off a string of words, and then hung up.

Ten minutes later, Ye Qianxue brought Wen Xintong here, and Wen Xintong seemed somewhat reluctant.

Yes, Yan Ziming was supposed to come, but it turned out to be Yimoduojiang instead. She spent an hour getting ready, and this is the result.

Moreover, Ye Qianxue, who seemed a bit dull like herself, was actually quite shrewd. Along the way, she would casually chat about how she and her older sister met and how loving they were.

What shook her the most was that she also heard a bombshell from Ye Qianxue—Yan Ziming was going to marry Ye Qianxue and the others.

This news was like a bolt from the blue. Wen Xintong was stunned for a long time and was out of sorts for a while afterward, her mind wandering and her location was not accurate several times.

"Master, what's wrong with her...?"

Ye Qianxue whispered something in Mu Mu's ear, and Mu Mu gave her a thumbs up:

"Well said! But her current state is indeed a problem."

Mu Mu stroked her chin, then glared reproachfully at Ye Qianxue, "Why didn't you say something so important sooner? She's just a burden coming here! It was a wasted trip!"

"It was clearly Master Sister who told me to come over and then hung up the phone..." Ye Qianxue said aggrievedly.

"Don't talk back!"

After suppressing all of Ye Qianxue's opinions, Mu Mu explained the problem to Mo Sheng, who then covered her forehead in a headache.

Damn, is this guy just trying to mess with me?

Such an important and special person, suddenly troubled by love at this crucial moment! Are you guys messing things up with a script?

"Forget it, let's try anything, we have to see what it's really made of."

Finally, Mu Mu decided to give it a try. Mo Sheng sighed, having no other choice, and said to Wen Xintong, "Could we try to find clues about the Gu King?"

"Hmm... I'll try..." Wen Xintong said listlessly.

She was like an empty shell that had lost its soul, mechanically using her supernatural abilities and sensing every possible clue she could find.

Logically speaking, since the insect beasts are creations of the Gu King, the top-ranking female insects in the insect beast hierarchy should have some connection with the Gu King's aura. Perhaps we can follow the clues and find something useful.

Several minutes had passed, and everyone was getting impatient. Suddenly, Wen Xintong's eyelids closed slightly, her eyes showing a hint of emotion, and she slowly shook her head.

"did not find."

"Sigh..." Mo Sheng sighed in disappointment, all her efforts had been in vain.

"But..." Wen Xintong said timidly, "there's 'that' scent..."

that?

which one?
