Absolute Zone Zero: As a corpse, elegance needs no words

A toy store that sells high-level combat amplification equipment from illegal channels.

A ramen shop that sells ramen that contains illegal ingredients to enhance the strength of fighters.

A coffee shop that sells coffee that contains illegal ingredients to refresh people.

Department stores selling illegal substances.

A music shop that illegally synthesizes and disassembles combat amplifiers.

A bangbu shop that illegally and privately modifies bangbu.

Well, there is also a video store opened by the legendary rope maker "Phaethon", a retired old man who is a godfather-level gangster, and so on.

This is really too cruel.

Because it was late, there were very few pedestrians on Liufen Street. Many shops were closed. Only a few houses had lights on, and occasionally you could see vague figures.

However, there was still a shop on the street that was not closed. The bright yellow light illuminated a small area, making it very conspicuous.

"Koi Noodle House..."

"How about giving it a try?"

Xuan Li's eyes lit up. He hadn't eaten properly since leaving the cave. Although he wasn't very hungry, his taste buds had been "hungry" for too long.

When we arrived at the Koi Noodle House, Chef Qiao Pu was making ramen for another customer. He looked like a worker who had worked overtime and was tired, with a depressed look on his face.

When he saw Xuan Li coming, he didn't care much. He just sighed with a sad face, not knowing what he was worried about.

Poor workers.

"Another visitor."

Master Qiao Pu looked up and saw Xuan Li approaching him. He said

"Guests can see what they want to eat. We can make things that are on the menu and even those that are not on the menu."

Xuan Li nodded, did not disturb Chef Qiao Pu from cooking, and looked at the menu hanging on the side.

Barbecued pork noodles, 500 diners, chicken soup noodles, 460 diners, wild mushroom noodles, 480 diners, ice soup noodles, 510 diners...

Ok?

This ramen type and price are wrong.

Xuan Li raised his eyebrows, looked up at Chef Qiao Pu who was cooking ramen, and said

"I want something that's not on the menu."

His words made Master Qiao Pu pause what he was doing. He then looked at Xuan Li carefully and found that he was indeed a stranger. He immediately shook his head.

“We won’t cook anything that’s not on the menu.”

"Hey?"

Xuan Li opened his eyes slightly, put the menu back in its place, sat on the chair in front of the noodle shop, and continued

"But I just want one of those ramen noodles."

"Which one?"

"That kind."

"Which kind is that?"

"Something with special effects."

"What special effects?"

"I don't understand what you're talking about."

Despite the pulling, Master Qiao Pu still didn't loosen the air vent at all. Xuan Li simply stopped saying anything and planned to use his ultimate move.

"Master, I'm actually very good friends with the brother and sister who run the video store next door. They told me about the ramen thing."

"I just want to try it. It's not like there won't be any shortage of Dingni. Look, I specifically chose a time when there are fewer people. You can't let me come here for nothing, right?"

Xuan Li directly pulled Ling and Zhe over to serve as banners. Although they had never met before, this was the second time they were used.

He cleverly attributed the time factor to his own intentional act to make his words more credible.

Chef Qiao Pu looked at Xuan Li doubtfully, handed the ramen he had prepared to the worker, and then approached him and asked

"Since you said you are friends with them, you must know what they do, right?"

Xuan Li smiled slightly and said softly

"Of course I know. I rent and sell videos. But I also have another job. I'm a Hollow Investigator. It's just that it's not..."

"Okay, I believe you."

Chef Qiao Pu interrupted Xuan Li, then searched under the table where the guests could not see, and handed Xuan Li a special menu.

Xuan Li took a look and nodded slightly.

That's right.

But...this is actually on the menu, right?

It's another secret menu item though.

Immediately, he ordered a black bowl of fresh iced noodle soup and returned the menu to Chef Qiao Pu.

While waiting, a voice suddenly came from not far away, attracting people's attention in the quiet night.

"Master Qiaopu, I don't have any work to do today. Give me a bowl of seafood ramen!"

Xuan Li turned his head and saw the man with short hair that faded from blue to purple. He was wearing a black shirt with three big characters "Qi Caijie" written on it.

"Hmm~~~"

Ling was stretching with one arm raised. She had just woken up from the sofa and obviously needed to stretch her body.

She was only halfway through the action when she saw Xuan Li staring at her. She paused and her face turned red because she was embarrassed. Then she silently put her arm down.

It's so embarrassing.

It's not night time now, it's the middle of the night, why would people from other places come to Liufen Street to eat ramen?

The first time she saw Xuan Li, Ling knew that he was not from here. After all, she had lived in this place for a long time and she knew almost everyone here.

And this guy is a bit rude. How can he stare at a girl like that?

If it weren't for the good first impression...

Thinking about this, Ling sat a little further away from Xuanli. The ramen had already been ordered, so of course she had to eat it.

"Ring is here. What? Don't you want to cook again today?"

Master Qiaopu's words fell into her ears, Ling nodded and explained to him

"I just woke up and I'm a little hungry. My brother is busy, so I don't want to disturb him. I'll cook for myself... so I'm here to trouble Chef Qiaopu."

"Haha, that's nothing."

Master Qiao Pu laughed and kept moving his hands.

"By the way, thanks to your recommendation, your friend came here specifically to eat ramen. But don't worry, your friend will definitely not be disappointed!"

Listening to Master Qiao Pu's words, Ling blinked in confusion, then looked at Xuan Li. It was obvious that Master Qiao Pu was referring to him.

but……

Since we are friends, why don’t I have any impression of him?

"Ling, long time no see."

Xuan Li waved his hand gently. One day should be considered a long time since we last met, right?

After all, he now has a brand new identity.

"Okay, long time no see."

Ling frowned, feeling a little embarrassed. Could it be that she had really forgotten about someone because she had come into contact with so many people?

She patted her head and tried hard to recall, but there was no result. No matter how hard she looked, she couldn't find the young man with black blond hair, blue eyes and a good temperament in her memory!

Looking at Ling browsing her memories, Xuan Li knew what she was thinking and couldn't help but chuckle.

I can only say that it is worthy of Ling. She did not doubt him at the beginning, but thought that she had forgotten others.

"Why, you are so forgetful! We've been through so much together, why don't you even leave me a memory?"

"Could it be... Could it be that I really am nothing to you? You had that attitude before, but now you don't even remember it..."

Xuan Li put away his smile, pretended to be a little worried and sad, shook his head slightly, looked away and sighed softly.
