The North American Gourmet Demon Handbook

Ella said, tilting her little head.

"So you figured out what's going on with my singing?"

"Well, Master Ella has figured it out," Ella said proudly.

But just as she cleared her throat to explain, she quickly flapped her wings to dodge the white hidden weapon: "Wow! What is this thing? It's so dangerous! This thing can attack Ella!"

Li Shanze picked up the white hidden weapon casually and found that it was a scalpel folded from a piece of paper.

Li Shanze spread out the paper and discovered that it was a medical bill.

Then, another row of densely packed medical bills formed into scalpels flew over, aiming not only at Li Shanze and Kate, who had excellent physical fitness, but also at Xia Li.

Li Shanze quickly took off his black windbreaker, and he circled around to collect all the bill flying knives.

Then, something happened that surprised Li Shanze. His black windbreaker disappeared out of thin air when it touched the white flying knives, but these white flying knives were not affected at all and continued to fly forward relentlessly.

Li Shanze had no choice but to pull Xia Li and lunge forward to avoid the flying knives.

"What the hell is this thing?" Li Shanze helped Xia Li up and complained in a hoarse voice.

Kate shook her head: "I don't know, it can't be resisted by Holy Light."

Xia Li also shook her head: "Even summoning plants can't stop it..."

"This is a conceptual thing, a certain concept belonging to the god Dr. Benjamin. It must be restrained by corresponding concepts." Ella said.

This is a medical bill. How can I handle it? Well, money...

So, when the third round of bills came flying, Li Shanze raised his arms and scattered countless dollars, and the green Franklins flew all over the sky.

With Ella's "Hey whoosh", the US dollars automatically formed a kind of protective barrier and began to rotate around the three of them.

When these bill knives penetrate enough dollar bills, they disappear, along with the dollars they hit.

My money!

Realizing that these dollars would never come back, Li Shanze felt heartbroken.

This broken thing is really defended by the US dollar!

Dr. Benjamin, you can now be considered a mythical creature after all. How come the bill attack you first created can be defended against with money?

You've put in so much effort, sacrificed your own daughter, and worked so hard to steal the godhood, and your ultimate goal is just to make more money?

Because of the sore throat and difficulty in speaking, Li Shanze's desire to complain became unprecedentedly strong.

But after thinking carefully about Dr. Benjamin's ethnicity, Li Shanze suddenly felt that everything before him made sense.

Even if the Jews become gods, they will still be obsessed with money!

083 Endorsement fees for medical insurance

The rate at which the US dollars were consumed was alarming, and soon a gap appeared in the protective barrier.

Li Shanze had to painfully spend more dollars to fill the gap after the medical bill attack.

Although it seems to be safe for the time being, this is not a solution.

"This is not a solution. The medical bills keep coming in, and the dollars I got from Mr. Mercenary won't last long." After saying so much, Li Shanze felt like his throat was smoking.

Kate selectively ignored Li Shanze's words "I got the US dollars from Mr. Mercenary".

"The clinic's bills can't only be paid in US dollars." The Grand Knight said calmly.

Then she took out a blue card, which suddenly expanded and formed a blue light shield.

The flying knife disappeared as soon as it hit the blue light shield, leaving only some debris floating around, but the light shield did not seem to be weakened at all.

Li Shanze cast a curious look at Kate.

"That's the business card of my health insurance consultant. The consultant takes care of my insurance," Kate explained. "It'll cover my bills for a while until my insurance runs out."

Anjie's tone was filled with sarcasm. "Haha, this is the first time I know that the Grand Knights of the Church also need to purchase medical insurance. I thought you were all blessed by the Lord."

"This is an FBI agent's employee benefit, Ms. Novak," Kate said calmly. She always treated Angie in a businesslike manner and naturally only addressed her by her last name.

"Ha! I also bought a large amount of medical insurance myself!" Angel didn't want to be protected by Kate, so she threw out her insurance consultant's business card.

Not surprisingly, Anjie also successfully opened a blue light shield.

But unlike Kate's solid light shield, Anjie's light shield soon became shaky under the attack of the bill flying knife and eventually disappeared.

"Huh? Why is this happening?" Anjie asked in disbelief.

"Considering that Li's US dollars have truly disappeared... I think, Anjie, your medical insurance account balance is probably insufficient, right?" Xia Li said tentatively.

Anjie opened her mouth, wanting to retort, but no words came out.

Finally, Miss Bounty Hunter turned to Kate and asked, "Why does your health insurance last so long?"

"It's precisely because I'm a Grand Knight of the Church that the medical insurance company took notice of my status and provided me with a very generous medical insurance allowance. In their opinion, I won't need it anyway." Kate's tone was flat, but there was a hint of gloating towards Angel in her eyes.

Yes, what could help insurance companies convince believers better than a great knight blessed by the Lord buying medical insurance?

Insurance companies are financial institutions after all. They only lend umbrellas when it’s sunny and take them away when it’s rainy.

Therefore, Kate, a great knight who is blessed by the Holy Light and theoretically does not need to see a doctor, will receive a very high medical insurance amount.

Li Shanze nodded, admiring the insurance company's business acumen.

Li Shanze sneered, "But they miscalculated this time."

"Yes, although I used to be quite opposed to this abuse of my image and the authority of the church, believing it to be inherently sinful and deceptive, it now seems that we have turned a blessing in disguise." Kate's tone was a little sarcastic. "Of course, this also includes you, Miss Novak."

Facing Kate's ridicule, Anjie did not choose to swallow her anger: "How much endorsement fee did you take, Your Excellency the Great Knight?"

"Oh, I'm not that interested in money, so they gave me something else as an endorsement fee." Kate said lightly, "I'm not like you, Ms. Novak, who only cares about money. Or are you interested in fighting that flying knife alone? I'm curious about the consequences of that flying knife hitting someone."

Faced with Kate's threat, Anjie finally calmed down. After all, at this moment she really relied on Kate's protection.

As for the consequences of being hit by the flying knife of medical bills, the bounty hunter lady had no interest in experiencing it herself.

At least Li Shanze's disappearing black windbreaker has proved that this is an evil thing.

Even if it only resulted in damage to her clothes, Anjie declined the offer.

The bounty hunter lady thought that she didn't want to be naked in front of Li Shanze at all, absolutely not!

With a bang, Kate's powerful blow hit the white wall, but the wall did not shake at all.

Kate shook her head and looked at Li Shanze: "We must find a way to leave this damn hospital before my medical insurance and your dollars run out. Medical insurance will run out eventually."

Hearing this, Anjie clenched her fists in anger.

For the first time, Li Shanze discovered that this great knight of the church was quite good at telling jokes.

But Kate was right. The current situation was still not optimistic. The medical bills were like endless flying knives. Among the four people, only Kate had medical insurance and a bag of US dollars that Li Shanze had snatched from the mercenary George Simpson.

At this moment, Xia Li, who had been frowning in thought, suddenly said, "No, I think there's another reason why Anjie's high medical insurance is running out so quickly."

She bent down and picked up the remains of a medical bill that was blocked by Kate's light shield.

Then, Charlie opened her palm and showed the residue.

She asked Anjie, "Angie, your medical insurance didn't filter out any residue after blocking the bill, did it?"

Anjie nodded dejectedly. "Yeah, I still have to pay a huge bill every month."

Charlie nodded. "I think that's why."

After saying that, Charlie chanted a spell, and the remnant of the bill turned into a small insect whose shape could be described as "winding and rugged".

"What is this?" Anjie asked in surprise.

"It's a parasite," Charlie said. "To be more precise, it's called 'over-medicalization parasite.'"

"How did you know that name?" Anjie's mouth dropped open in surprise. She bent down and picked up a scrap of paper, discovering the words "over-medicalization" written on it. "Okay, now I know how you knew that."

Li Shanze felt that instead of facing this kind of ridiculous "modern divine magic" full of hellish jokes, he would rather have a bloody battle with the demons from hell.

Unfortunately, things did not go according to Li Shanze's will.

Suddenly, Kate's open light shield began to flicker, and gradually flying knives passed through, consuming a large amount of Li Shanze's dollars.

"Why, has my medical insurance limit also run out?" Kate said lightly.

She once again struck the white wall with her lance, but the wall remained unchanged as before.

Li Shanze, who had been observing carefully, shook his head: "No. There are two types of flying knives. One is the one mentioned before; the other can shake your medical insurance light shield."

Because of his sore throat, Li Shanze tried to be as concise as possible. He took a risk and grabbed a flying knife.

Then, Li Shanze spread it out and showed it to the ladies with a speechless look on his face.

"Medical insurance rejection letter..." Anjie was speechless.

Li Shanze suddenly had an idea and said, "He is Jewish, cough, a doctor, cough cough cough, not Benjamin."

Kate nodded suddenly, and said with sudden enlightenment: "Yes, I understand! That's it!"

"What do you understand?" Looking at the tacit understanding between Li Shanze and Kate, which seemed like they were playing a game of charades, Anjie couldn't help but ask sourly.

"I've always thought that Dr. Benjamin, a top student at Johns Hopkins, has been working as a doctor in the poor town of Fern for more than 20 years. It's impossible that he did it just for money," Kate said.

Anjie shook her head. "Yeah, he wants to steal the godhood and become a god."

"He even sacrificed his daughter Yasmin. It doesn't make sense that after seizing the godhood and being one step away from becoming a god, he would become a money-grubber... So, I agree that he now looks like a Jewish doctor who is greedy for money, not Dr. Benjamin." Kate looked at Li Shanze.

Li Shanze laughed and nodded to Kate, while also throwing out a few stacks of US dollars to replenish the dollar barrier that was being consumed at an increasingly fast rate.

"Maybe it's just that his long-suppressed nature finally erupted after achieving his goal?" Anjie originally thought that what Kate said made sense, but when she saw Li Shanze's admiring look towards Kate, she couldn't help but refute it.

"So, what we're fighting against is the concept of 'doctor'?" Charlie, who had been thinking, suddenly said.

Kate suddenly realized what was happening and shouted, "FSMB (Federation of State Medical Boards)! Your medical license has been revoked due to prescription drug abuse and overtreatment!"

At the same time, she pulled out an ID from her arms and threw it hard, hitting the white wall of the ward.

This blow was as powerful as thunder.

The ward, which had remained motionless despite the Great Knight's devastating attack, was shattered into powder by the FSMB certificate.

The medical bills that had been flying out in an endless stream all fell to the ground helplessly.

"Why are you still a member of FSMB, Kate?" Charlie asked curiously.

"Oh, didn't Miss Novak just ask me what endorsement fee the insurance company gave me? Here, this is the endorsement fee the insurance company gave me." Kate replied with a smile.

At the same time, she raised her lance majestically and pointed it at Dr. Benjamin, who was leaning against the remains of a tall Sitka spruce and spitting out blood.

At this moment, Dr. Benjamin is merging with the spruce tree that symbolizes Buchaska - or more precisely, the blood he spits out is eroding Buchaska.

The door of this factory had been closed long ago without anyone noticing.

084 Ogre's Recipe and Crystallization Ritual

"Thank you for your hard work, Ella." Li Shanze stretched out his fingers and rubbed the elf who was lying on his shoulder tiredly. He was surprised to find that his voice was not hoarse when he talked to Ella alone.

Maybe this is just a conceptual conversation and there is no real use of the voice?

Being able to conceptually confront the false god Dr. Benjamin, Li Shanze felt that Ella was definitely not an ordinary elf.

"Hehe, it's good that Li Shanze knows." Ella said breathlessly but proudly, "But Ella doesn't have much strength left. From now on, it's up to Li Shanze to do it all on his own."

"Also, don't let him complete the ceremony of becoming a god, otherwise the previous method will be ineffective." Ella finally warned.

Then, the elf lay on Li Shanze's shoulder and became lazy.

"Ah, don't worry. Don't forget, I got the method to fight against him from the professor's accomplices, and you helped me improve it." Li Shanze gently rubbed Ella's head.

Then, Li Shanze recalled the moment when he had just knocked down the Ogre Jimmy.

...Time goes back to just now...

Li Shanze pointed a gun at Jimmy and was about to torture him, but Jimmy died without saying anything and leaving no information.

Li Shanze only found a few notes on his body.

One of the notes read:

"Vampire Eyeball
