Chapter 466: Life and Death
Heath was stunned for a moment after hearing what the man said, but he didn't think too much about it. If it was the most expensive ingredient, then it would naturally be his lava eel. It was just that he was using lava eels to entertain some dead guests...
Heath still silently exchanged for two lava eels. He planned to make an eel rice for the three guests in front of him, as a treat for these guests who passed away unexpectedly. Heath remembered that when they had eaten at his place before, they had discussed the future, but their future would always remain in today. Even if the alliance compensated for these things and the company provided subsidies, for them, they still left this world in the end.
Two lava eels, nothing.
"Okay, wait a moment." Heath placed the lava eel in a basin of water beside him. Now the lava eel needs to be processed separately, and the processing process takes some time. However, Heath has done it before, so it won't be too slow to do it now. Heath soon processed the two lava eels. After pouring the kabayaki sauce on them, the fragrant lava eel rice was ready. This is the most expensive food here at Heath. Unless Heath can obtain the rock worm and then start a new recipe, this ingredient will be the only one available for a short time.
Heath had originally considered cooking purple crabs, but purple crabs are relatively delicate and the portion is not large enough. Lava eels are better, as they have more meat and are very refreshing and taste great.
"Everyone, your lava eel rice." Heath brought the lava eel rice over, one portion for each person, exactly three portions, and the three men took it with a smile. They sat next to the man named Azhe, and then asked Heath for three beers, one without foam and two with foam.
[You entertained a demanding guest, and you received 30 points of Reversal World Points]
Heath was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that he would be given thirty points this time, which was almost equivalent to entertaining thirty guests. Was it because of the use of high-quality ingredient lava eel?
Probably, it seems that the golden finger is still quite humane, giving me ten times the points, otherwise I would have to make a loss in the business, although Heath doesn't care about this loss.
However, Heath was not too excited. He calmly returned to his kitchen and waited for other guests to arrive.
"Brother, how much subsidy do you think the alliance and our company will give this time? There are only me, my parents and I in my family. Now that I'm gone, I don't know what my parents will do." The young man sighed. He used to think about saving money to find a wife, but now, there's no need to worry about a wife. Just thinking of his two elderly parents makes the man feel uncomfortable.
I don't know if my parents will be too sad after I'm gone, and what should I do with my retirement life in the future? But there are orphanages in the Pokémon world, so I should be able to let my parents adopt a child, right?
The young man's eyes instantly turned red at the thought of his own death and the separation of his parents. Tears brewed in his eyes for a long time, but he finally held them back.
"Don't worry, the alliance and the association will not treat us unfairly." Scarface was silent for a few seconds after hearing this topic. He thought of his parents, wife and children. If he was gone, he didn't know how they would live. Would his wife remarry?
He sighed and patted his brother's shoulder. Death is not scary, after all, everyone will die eventually. But death with regrets is too scary, and you can't feel at ease after death.
"Fortunately, when I first joined the association, I signed a will, leaving all my money to my parents, and asked them to help me take care of my daughter. That dead woman must be very unhappy now, right? Hahaha~" The gloomy man also laughed out loud. Azhe looked at his three companions strangely. Is death such a complicated thing? Azhe didn't have any thoughts. He was originally a marginal figure in the family. Now that he is dead, I think his brother should be very happy. After all, the compensation is a large sum of money.
The four men were laughing and joking while eating and drinking in Heath's dining car. Later, seven more guests came, all of them miners. They also ate at Heath's place. Eleven guests gathered together. Heath was silent for a second. He had seen today's news. The death toll was eleven.
Just when Heath thought that there would be no guests coming that night, Heath's wind chimes rang again. Heath looked up with a smile, and was surprised to find a Miss Joy walking in.
Yes, it was a Miss Joy, who looked to be around thirty years old. Time had left a few traces on her face, but they were not very obvious.
"You guys, you just came down and you're here to cause trouble for me. Didn't I tell you to complete the resident registration?" Miss Joy looked at the miners with a cold face. The miners instantly became much more obedient. They looked at each other awkwardly, then scratched their heads and smiled foolishly.
After the supervisory men left, Miss Joy turned her head curiously and looked at Heath. Then, under Heath's blank gaze, Miss Joy walked over and slapped the table, scaring Heath so much that he trembled.
"You kid, I haven't seen you before. Where are you from?" Miss Joy looked at Heath suspiciously. Heath touched his nose. He must have never been seen before. After all, Heath was not a person from this world, but a living person. He came here to do business only because of his golden finger's request.
"Do you have a resident certificate? Or did you die suddenly? You were so young and liked staying up late, no wonder you died suddenly." Although Miss Joy's words were quite irritating , her eyes were full of pity. No one likes death, let alone such a young person.
"Young people, I told you in the beginning that making money is important, working is important, but the most important is your own life. You will live your life with money or without money. What's the value of letting yourself die suddenly? Who knows whether the Alliance will be able to achieve life extension and immortality in the future, but you died the day before you can achieve immortality. What a pity." Miss Joy patted Heath's shoulder with the look of someone who had experienced it. The corners of Heath's mouth twitched. How should he explain his story to Miss Joy?
"Huh? Why do you have body temperature?" Miss Joy was stunned for a moment, then reached out and pinched Heath's face.
“……” Heath scratched his head. Was he discovered?
