It's 1 a.m., but the Golden Arches is full of customers, and this 24-hour fast-food restaurant has become a popular spot for skateboarders, chess players and online teenagers.

Order a set meal inside and sit for the whole day.

Wang Lu looked at the four teenagers sitting around the table with Swtich in their hands, and couldn't help but recall his high school ......

Oh, no.

When he was in high school, his family couldn't afford a game console.

When his classmates played, he could only stand by and watch, and from time to time he would take on some errands to buy things for them, and when someone was tired of playing, he could borrow someone else's game console to play for a while.

Oddly enough, the F&B industry in City F doesn't seem to follow the tradition of taking a four-day vacation, and Golden Arches around the world still maintains the tradition of being open 24 hours a day, providing a warm haven for these night owls who don't get home in the middle of the night.

However, in addition to the golden "M" logo on the Golden Arches, Wang Lu also saw the red "H" shaped brand on the signboard and menu.

"Let me ask, what does this 'H' mean?"

Wang Lu pointed to the brand of the overhead menu, he has been a frequent customer of Golden Arches since more than ten years ago, and when he went to eat Golden Arches in X City a month ago, he remembered that there was no additional brand.

"It's the hallmark of Hovington dining."

The young man at the counter enthusiastically introduced Wang Lu, "A week ago, Hovington Catering reached a strategic alliance with dozens of global restaurant chains, including Golden Arches. ”

"Hovington dining? Is that the company that is said to have several three-Michelin-starred restaurants? ”

"That's right, I didn't expect you, sir, to be really well-informed."

Wang Lu had long heard of the name of Hovington Restaurant in various aspects.

This thing is not very popular in China, but it seems to have almost monopolized the entire catering market abroad, there are several Hovington restaurants in the newly built shopping malls in X city, and the reviews on the review website are extremely high, all of them are all praised, and more importantly, the price is not expensive, and you can taste the food of top restaurants at the cost of ordinary low-end restaurants.

The only problem is that each restaurant has a reservation system, and only customers who have made a reservation can go to the restaurant at the designated time.

Wang Lu heard that there were also some local thugs who planned to break in, but without exception they were beaten up and thrown out by the security guards in the restaurant, although most of the comments below are "very happy" and "light of righteousness", but he still has doubts about why there are so many security guards in a restaurant.

In particular, many of the security guards looked like foreigners.

Just have a meal, is it necessary?

Wang Lu has been making reservations since the day the restaurant was built, but he is not possessed by the chief, so he has never made a reservation.

Now that Golden Arches is cooperating with Hovington Catering, he can be regarded as tasting the food of Hovington Restaurant, right?

"Two plate roast chicken thigh burger set, a single black pepper beef pot, and two wheat whirlwinds...... Hey, I don't think the menu is any different from before. ”

"It's all the same old menu, but the recipes have all been refreshed, and now every month we are cooperating with Hovington Restaurant to launch a new burger or main dish, and this month's main product is the spicy crayfish burger."

"Then let's have another new one."

"Okay."

After receiving the meal, Wang Lu found a way to get close to the corner, and put the crayfish burger and the roasted chicken leg burger in front of Jiu, then he rubbed his hands, opened the box of the roasted chicken thigh burger with anticipation, and bit it down.

In his opinion, the banyakiniku chicken thigh burger is an eternal classic of the Golden Arches, and he will order one every time he comes here to eat.

He'd like to see what the new formula was so good about today.

"Well, it smells so good!"

Wang Lu sighed involuntarily.

The moment he bites down, the juice spreads out on the tip of his tongue like a burst, and this new recipe retains the classic texture while adding layers of flavor, I don't know if it's a psychological effect, he even thinks that the chicken thighs in the burger are much smoother than tender.

"Hey, why don't you eat it?"

Wang Lu was immersed in the delicious food for a long time, and suddenly found Jiu sitting opposite him, looking at him without saying a word, without the slightest intention of moving.

Didn't this girl just now be so hungry that she even bit off a piece of the table in the interrogation room?

"It is recommended that you eat the grilled chicken leg burger first, this is a classic among the classics."

"Your brain cells, some of them were killed just now."

"Huh?"

Jiu's cold words made Wang Lu confused, aren't they enjoying the food? Why did you suddenly get involved in his brain cells?

"The food in your hand will kill a small part of your brain cells, and if you keep using it, it will slowly reduce your reflexes and memory, and after about ten years, you will enter a state of dementia in advance."

"Really?"

Wang Lu shook his hand, and subconsciously glanced at the plump and juicy chicken thigh meat with sandwich meat, which looked tender and delicious against the background of sauce and colorful vegetables, and people couldn't help but want to bite again.

It's just that after Jiu said this, he couldn't say it anymore.

Jiu was serious when he spoke, not like he was joking at all.

"Really."

"Is it the reason for the new recipe?"

"I don't know, I haven't been here to eat."

Jiu shook his head, "You can eat it yourself, I don't want to eat the food here, and when you're full, I'll go back and help me make a supper." ”

…………………………

Europe, Port Z, eight o'clock.

The grand welcome ceremony has finally come to an end.

It is not only the humans, animals, and vegetation that wander aimlessly in the fishing villages that are being devoured...... Everywhere the black smoke went, all living beings disappeared without a trace.

The red moon in the sky was gone, but the sky had completely darkened, completely replaced by night.

"Whew—I haven't eaten this well in a long time."

The humanoid form formed by the gathering of black smoke let out a comfortable whisper, "After forming an alliance with the people of that clan, we also have to restrain our desires a little, it is better for you to be here, and after the God Clan is destroyed, maybe I will come to settle here." ”

"You're always welcome."

The fat man in the wheelchair spoke, "While you're eating, my staff has already picked up some clues that might interest you. ”

"Tell me about it."

"The person you're looking for is right now on the other side of the ocean, in a city called City F, and I guess that it may be the base of that race."

"Tell me how to do it."

"It's not hard to get there, but I don't recommend going it alone until we investigate the situation."

"How?"

"According to the information we have gathered, two new natural disasters have been wiped out in that land, and although their power level is far from your level, it is better to be careful when it comes to that race...... There's a new member who can tell you a little bit about it, though. ”

"Who?"

"Marianne Sescia."
