The turmoil in the back kitchen was brought under control. Eight {(一Chinese net 〔 〕.

The waffles that Yuguan brought to the guests' tables blocked the mouths of the guests and their curiosity, and even if they asked, the waiters were very consistent, and their sous chef stepped on the soap and broke the glass, as for why there was soap on the ground and why the slippery wrestling hit the glass, the waiters said that they did not know, leaving a certain amount of room for the guests to wave their imagination.

The waffles, which were originally intended to bribe little girls, were so popular with the guests that many of them asked for another waffle after tasting the free one.

Since there were no waffles on today's menu, and the waffles from the small kitchen were somewhat experimental, the apprentice who had Lin Ling's permission to use the ingredients freely made more than a dozen fillings suitable for summer consumption.

"Three additional waffle guests, chef."

So, the orders were all sent to the kitchen.

"Thank you." Lin Ling took the waiter's order, turned his head and shouted, "Three guest waffles." ”

"Yes, Chef, three waffles." Apprentices fiddle with waffles like headless flies in front of the counter.

Although the kitchen was very busy, Lin Ling did not relax his quality control.

"Hey, you can't do that."

Lin Ling shouted to stop an apprentice from pouring batter into the unpreheated pan: "The pan must be preheated, otherwise the outside will scorch the lake." ”

The apprentice bowed his head apologetically and smeared a layer of oil on the batter-stained pan to heat it on the stove.

"No, wash it, it's already stained with batter." Lin Ling took the pan and put it in the sink to rinse, and at this time, the restaurant manager walked into the kitchen and said to him, "Elder Nie wants to see you." ”

"That's right, push the cake into the food elevator."

Lin Ling put the rinsed pan on the stove to dry and handed it to the apprentice to continue the operation, and asked the restaurant manager, "What do our Bankers have to order?" ”

"He seems to want to thank you in person." Said the restaurant manager.

"That's not good news." Lin Ling dried his hands and walked out of the kitchen, and said to the restaurant manager, "This means that he knows everything he wants to know." ”

"He's a Banker." The restaurant manager pursed the corners of his mouth.

"Tell him I'm home."

After Lin Ling looked at the clock, he said to the restaurant manager, "I hope that after I change my clothes, there is a taxi waiting for me at the back door." ”

"You're leaving?" The restaurant manager frowned slightly.

"It's going to be 2 o'clock." Lin Ling smiled slightly, "I'm afraid I have to have the obligation to help my friends if I stay." ”

"Yes, you have to leave before the break comes." The restaurant manager immediately understood what Lin Ling meant, if there was no sous chef, then it didn't matter what time Lin Ling stayed. But since that person was taken to the hospital, they would definitely have an internal short meeting after the lunch service to make personnel arrangements.

Lin Ling is also an outsider no matter how he says it, he shouldn't attend such a meeting, he has to disappear before the meeting starts.

"I'll arrange a taxi for you." The restaurant manager said and held out his hand.

"Thank you." Lin Ling shook hands with the restaurant manager. He returned to the kitchenette to say goodbye to the apprentices, changed his clothes, and left through the back door to catch a taxi home.

In the car, he received a text message from an unknown number: "The cake is delicious, thank you".

Lin Ling looked at this text message hesitantly, if Gao Yuanyuan came to be a domineering reproach, then he would definitely ignore her as a wisp of wind, in fact, he had already expected this when he chose to leave instead of meeting with that Banker.

The phone vibrates again.

Lin Ling opened the text message, and it was now a photo of her and Nie Lao cutting a cake together.

Gao Yuanyuan smiled very sweetly in the photo, and Nie Lao, who was standing beside her and holding the cake knife with her, also looked energetic and young in the camera.

Lin Ling wanted to reply to the message, but after seeing the input field, he didn't know what to say to Gao Yuanyuan, after all, Gao Yuanyuan and himself were people from two worlds, and they shouldn't have too much contact. He turned off his phone as the driver stared in surprise through the rearview mirror, took out the chip and threw it out of the window.

The chip fell to the ground on the side of the road, crushed by the patrolling sweeping robots as garbage and fallen leaves, along with the wisp of tenderness that sprouted in his heart.

……

The Underground of Temeria.

Lin Ling appeared in the safe area under Temeria a little later than usual, but a little earlier than the agreed time, and a few people who arrived early got up and walked towards him.

Seeing them, a smile appeared on the corner of Lin Ling's mouth, and he casually asked the Zen Master Shouwang, "Is there any news?" ”

"It's all bad news that has nothing to do with us for the time being." After handing over the position of the head of the group to Lin Ling, the watchman returned to his previous seat and added a combustible material they had found in the underground water to the bonfire.

The flames burst into a bright light.

"Nice campfire." Lin Ling dragged his soaked robe to the campfire, intending to dry his robe with the help of the fire.

"The campfire that appeared when the costume puppet went online didn't have it when we went offline in the morning." The watchman looked at the puppet in the costume with his head bowed and sharpened the shaft of the arrow, "Do you want to say something?" ”

"I'm not sure if it's the player, his dodge of my attacks from start to finish, all I can say is." Probably remembering something bad, the puppet's face was a little blue, "That seems to be a Mind Flayer player." ”

"A Mind Flayer?"

Lin Ling frowned slightly, the Mind Flayer had indecent nicknames such as Octopus Head and Cai Guoqing, and the scope of their lives was not fixed, some were underground, some were in the swamp, and there was no specific body type that could distinguish the appearance. The Mind Flayer is born with the ability to "dominate the will", and can manipulate a character's mind, with an effect similar to that of the law mastery.

Unlike Mastery of the Law, Mind Flayer's "Dominance of the Will" will kill the unit after its duration expires or the enslavement effect wears off. Another of their talents, "mind strengthening", allows them to strengthen their own thinking on others. It's like placing a camera on the person's body, so that you can see not only the details of the person, but also the people around him.

In addition, an adult Mind Flayer also has the unique teleportation method of "Psychic Network" and "Quick Support", a natural ability similar to the band's unique ability, "Quick Assemble".

The Mind Flayer is not a race that players can choose to play as.

But Lin Ling did remember that there were some bold players who joined the Mind Flayer community and became a Mind Flayer, although their final fate was extremely miserable.

"He shouldn't dare to show himself in front of us." Xiao Ant said, "After all, there are a lot of us. ”

"Being more people is never an advantage, ants." Lin Ling shook his head, he remembered that when the Mind Flayer's "Mind Enhancement" talent was applied to a "brainless" or "brainless" unit, it was equivalent to the law mastery effect, and the units controlled by the Mind Flayer could move through its "Mental Network" and "Quick Support".

"Maybe it's still his home turf."

Lin Ling was halfway through speaking, and Zi Bu went online beside him.

"Tell me about the rest of the bad news." Lin Ling made a silent gesture to the others, and the few people present were all smart people, and they did not mention the matter of snatching the demon in their hearts very tacitly.

"There's a player called Human Inferno who has announced on the SHN forums the creation of a warband, Emmanuel." The watchman gave the second message.

"Immanuel?" Xiao Ant had an uncomfortable expression on his face.

"Hebrew, which means that God is with us." "That Human Purgatory is the leader of a religious interest group at a certain university, and he named him to eliminate the evil of the League of Legends, and we will be reborn in the warband. ”

"Why?" Lin Ling asked inexplicably.

"Because the name of our warband offends his faith, who knows." The watchman pulled down the bonfire and made it burn more vigorously, "Maybe it's just to see us as an eyesore." ”

"Do they eat pork?" Zi Bu silently interjected.

"Of course, that's a name in the Bible." Shouwang Zen Master said.

"Is there a difference with those who don't eat pork?" Zi Bu asked silently.

"I'm afraid not, they think that people are guilty when they live, and those who you say think are not religious are dry wood in hell." The watchman picked up a wooden willow and stuffed it into the bonfire, "It was lit like this." ”

"I'm going to make that arrow." The puppet in the costume looked at the Zen Master.

"Who made you not religious?" Lin Ling patted the puppet's shoulder and sat down between him and the Zen Master, "Is there any other news?" ”

"The Human Purgatory is ready to challenge our battle group, and the specific time is unknown." The watchman said and shared a link to the SHN forum.

"Nice ambitions."

Lin Ling looked at the forum link, throwing away those religious views that are not suitable for retelling and boasting without scientific literacy, purgatory on earth is still showing off in essence, although some of the content in the main post looks quite eye-catching, and the replies made by the poster at the bottom are all meaningless abuse and life attacks.

"But there's no point." Lin Ling turned off the main post after a few glances, "Is there anything else?" ”

The watchman looked at the log and said, "Drunk and drunk enough to take shelter in the half-body benevolent hall, he wants to transfer one of the duplicate parts to our warband. ”

"Let him be sold to the Hammer of Doom, the paladins of our warband, who have no defensive tendencies." Speaking of the Gavel of Doom, Lin Ling thought of his titular apprentice Hero of the World, "Let Drunken Wu find the hero of the world and ask him if he would like to come forward to hold a small gathering of the warband breakaway and talk about the current situation." ”

"Okay." The Zen Master of Shouwang wrote down Lin Ling's statement, and he continued, "One last thing, the little monk checked the recent movements of the shell, and now she is very close to a druid named Changle in your guild, do you know the real occupation of that Changle?" ”

The object of the question is Zi Bu Si.

"Changle?" Zi Buyu thought for a moment and then replied, "I remember she said that she was a preschool music teacher. ”

"Then the little monk inquired about her last job." The watchman smiled apologetically, "She worked as a clerk in the Gamers' Guild, along with Shells. ”

"Gamers' Union? Federation? Zi was silent, and suddenly stood in place like five thunderbolts.
