Chapter 791: The Predecessors of Superheroes
"Let me tell you, my sword skills are super powerful!"
Yasuo sat at a stall called Tam's Seafood, eating takoyaki and bragging to Ekko beside him.
I saw him pointing his thumb at his nose with an 'I'm so awesome' look, just short of carving the two words on his face.
One is called nothing.
One is called the enemy.
"Yes, yes, you are superb at swordsmanship."
Ekko rolled his eyes speechlessly. That's how Yasuo is. Whenever he gets drunk, he'll start bragging about his swordsmanship. But when asked about what awards he's won or why he stopped doing it, he'll shut up.
So much so that every time he went to a familiar pub, the bartender would ask him:
"Yasuo, what other stories about the swordsman do you have left for us?"
Then Yasuo would lower his head in embarrassment, cover his face, and say something like "It's too much, not much." This created a happy atmosphere in the tavern.
"I mean it."
Yasuo sighed, and watched the game on TV where a man named Yongen was playing, and couldn't help but sigh again.
At this moment, what he was waving in his hand was no longer the family heirloom sword, the Broken Steel Sword, but a glow stick. To be honest, it seemed to be somewhat discrediting the school and the family swordsmanship.
But there was nothing he could do. Ever since he met that monster, his brother, who was often beaten by him, was fine. As for himself...
Whenever Yasuo thought of that sharp footsteps and the mysterious swordsmanship, he couldn't help but think about how he should break the sword moves used by the opponent.
But every time he performed the deduction, he died under that sword. This directly led to the fact that although he had not practiced swordsmanship for a long time, he knew that his swordsmanship was constantly improving.
But every time he grasped the knife, he would think of the disastrous defeat that day, making his hand unsteady.
“I’m really awesome…”
Sighing, Yasuo knew that a kid like Ekko had never witnessed his active period, so he didn't say much and just looked at the stall on the side.
At one side of the stall, the former sword fighter was grilling a large piece of barbecue in front of her, while her former comrade and rival Atreus was running his bakery on the side.
On the other side, also next to the store, was the person they were looking for today, a girl selling Japanese food.
He watched the other party continuously ordering Japanese seafood ramen, and then rolling sushi and cutting sashimi at the customers' request, and couldn't help shaking his head.
"She makes a lot more money than we do at the bar. Will she really agree to this?"
Yasuo looked at the sushi on his plate with a guilty conscience. The sushi was really expensive, but it was also really delicious. If Tam was not one of the few men who could be his father, he should be eating at that stall instead of eating seafood chowder here.
"You've seen her rapping online, her voice and technique are amazing! I'm ashamed, but even in rap, I'm no match for her now. Someone like her won't be content to sell seafood noodles and sushi for the rest of her life, and it's not like she hasn't sung before."
Ekko explained that he really wanted Akali to join because she was so outstanding!
Both her dancing and singing abilities are top-notch, and with a little polish she will be able to make a big splash.
"Yes, yes, I know, she is really amazing, but why did she choose to eat with us? For the free paella?"
Yasuo pointed at the paella in front of him, looking speechless.
Although Tam's seafood risotto is indeed delicious, eating it every day is really...
Just as he was thinking about it, a fork with a thick octopus leg suddenly fell in front of him, scaring him so much that he almost stood up.
Tam looked at the guy who was half-hearted about eating his paella with a gloomy face. He was very unhappy. He hugged his arms and looked at the treacherous and conscienceless Yasuo.
He was homeless at the beginning. If I hadn't helped him, this guy would still be wandering the streets with this guitar on his back.
Let him eat free food, but he still looks at other seafood!
Do you look down on him, Tam Daddy? !
"What's wrong? Are you not satisfied with my meal? Do you want to eat that seafood ramen? Do you have a problem with my seafood pasta? Or is there anywhere else you can eat such a big, delicious and cheap octopus leg?!"
Tam glared at Yasuo, as if he would be in trouble if he didn't explain clearly.
Yasuo silently picked up the octopus leg that was as thick as a mineral water bottle and took a bite, then spoke speechlessly.
"But Uncle Tam, my uric acid level is super high...if this continues I'm going to get gout."
He was helpless. Tam really didn't treat him as an outsider, but he was different from Tam! Tam looked like a guy who could eat a lot of fish, but he was not!
That's their racial talent! He, Yasuo, is just a humble ordinary human!
"Won't seafood noodles increase your uric acid?!"
But Tam didn't buy it at all and blew hard on the cooking board in front of him.
"Ah... there is some rice over there. You know, I prefer rice. I love it very much."
Yasuo didn't know what to say. He couldn't say that he missed the cherry blossoms in his hometown, right?
He felt that if he told this, the people on this street would probably raise money to hire a plane to take him back to his hometown to farm.
These guys can definitely do it, and they really are rich.
Night markets are very profitable.
"Rice, right?! You can't leave until you finish eating!"
Tam snorted coldly and placed the bucket of the remaining seafood risotto directly in front of Yasuo, causing the man with a firecracker that looked like a shotgun, who was about to order another bowl, to silently retract his hand and choose to pay the bill instead.
"Ah, are you serious?"
Looking at the steaming bucket of seafood risotto in front of him, Yasuo hesitated.
"Why? Are you dissatisfied?"
Tam snorted again, but Yasuo just silently raised his small rice spoon.
"I mean give me a big rice spoon. This is inconvenient."
ha?
Ekko, who was standing on the side, looked at the serious Yasuo and Tam who really gave him a big spoon for rice. He was about to ask, "Are you kidding?" But then he saw Yasuo really use the big spoon to scoop a bowl of rice and stuff it into his mouth.
Ike's face was suddenly filled with horror.
On the side, Akali, who was cutting sashimi, took the time to look at Yasuo who was stuffing his food, the terrified Ekko, and the onlookers who gradually gathered around and started cheering, and couldn't help but mutter.
"Two idiots."
She had felt that these two people were following her since the day before yesterday, but she didn't understand why they were following her, so she pretended not to see anything.
Mainly, I want to know how stupid someone has to be to track down a ninja.
But now it seems that these two idiots actually want to invite her to join their band...
To be honest, this made Akali feel a little regretful, because due to family inheritance, she actually knew ninjutsu and her skills were quite good, so she was just waiting for this Japanese and black man to rob and kidnap her so that she could vent her anger.
There is no way out. Her mother froze all her bank accounts. Now she supports herself by singing in bars and working at night markets. It's because she is energetic and she knows a supplier of fine meat, Olaf, that she doesn't have to worry about the quality and price of the fish. Otherwise, she really couldn't have made it.
Just as she was thinking about it, Leona, who was looking very heroic and whose technique of chopping meat was almost the same as that of chopping people, and whose posture of pounding meatballs and pounding people's heads were almost exactly the same, suddenly spoke to her.
"Akali, your cooking skills are pretty good. Are you interested in the Master Chef Competition next month?"
There was considerable enthusiasm in Leona's words. Ever since she discovered that what she liked most was not fighting but barbecue, and it just so happened that her colleague Atreus, nicknamed Panson in the arena, also dreamed of opening a bakery, they hit it off and started the catering business.
As a result, her enthusiasm not only did not decrease, but increased.
"Ah, forget it. I have to sing at a bar next month, so I don't have time to prepare, although I really want to go."
Akali nodded and declined with a hint of regret.
She really wanted to prove her abilities, and she loved cooking, second only to singing, so she was disappointed not to be able to participate in the God of Cooking competition.
Her cooking skills have been honed over and over again!
"Is that so? That's a shame. I was thinking of competing with you for meat."
Leona sighed with some regret. She didn't like Japanese food very much. In her opinion, meat should be cooked with fire. Although tuna and the like did taste better when eaten raw, she was still unhappy.
But this did not prevent her from liking Akali, this energetic and cool girl.
Because she was also very cool like this at the beginning, with a sharp knife in her hand, a sharp knife in her hand, if she hadn't met...
Thinking of this, Leona couldn't help but look up at the moon in the sky. That was the only white moonlight in her mind.
Everyone else thought her lover was Pantheon, Atreus, but only she knew that it was not.
Atreus loved his brother's wife, but Atreus was too reliable.
Although his brother was dead, Atreus would not cross the line. Instead, she protected him as her husband's brother and rejected his request to live together.
Leona could trust him on this.
Because Atreus is such a man, his character and morals absolutely need not be doubted.
However, because of this, his life became just about baking bread, which made Leona wonder if his XP was the bread.
"I'm sure I can't beat you in this."
Akali humbly admitted defeat.
For Japanese food like sashimi, the taste depends entirely on the dipping sauce and the freshness of the meat. As for the chef's knife skills, that is secondary.
And even if we compare knife skills, can you be better than machine knife skills?
To put it bluntly, the reason why she was able to gain a foothold in this night market was because she provided sufficient ingredients and was not too expensive, plus the food tasted really good.
It's no problem to beat some young chefs, but facing someone like Leona who chose the path of a chef simply because of her love and interest...
Leona and Pantheon set up stalls because they like to see customers eat their food with their own eyes, but she does it simply because it is all she can do. It’s different.
So I'm sorry, she really can't compare. Although she loves it, she doesn't love it as much as they do. There's no need to humiliate herself.
"Really? What's the point of being humble? A good chef should think that everyone else is trash. Otherwise, how can he improve?"
Leona said something that was not gentle at all in a gentle yet heroic voice, and she easily cut a one-inch thick steak.
“ Ah, this…”
Akali didn't know what expression she should make, so she chose to smile.
However, at this moment, a woman wearing a mask and sunglasses and an ordinary-looking man appeared in front of her.
However, when Akali saw the two people for the first time, her breathing almost stopped.
Because if it was the two people she knew, wouldn't that mean...
"Boss, give me a bowl of seafood ramen and a serving of sashimi."
Li Ke raised his hand and placed an order. After ordering, he looked at the stall on the side.
"Also, boss, give me a barbecue!"
Li Ke is a typical carnivore, so when he saw the thick-cut steak, his first reaction was to go to the barbecue stall that looked delicious, not here.
But Evelin simply rolled her eyes at him and took him directly to the target with the words 'I need to control my diet'.
After ordering the dishes, seeing that Evelynn had no intention of speaking, he raised his hand to Akali, who was obviously a little overwhelmed.
"Hey, boss, did you recognize us?"
Akali nodded nervously.
Although Evelin on the side was wearing glasses and a mask, her figure and temperament made her, a music lover, recognizable at a glance. As for Li Ke, ordinary people might not recognize her, but for people who are engaged in music.
Li Ke is now a super nuclear bomb, a super boss that you won’t meet in thousands of years.
If Li Ke wasn't a super boss, I'm afraid some singer had planned to kidnap Li Ke and locked him in the basement to write songs and compose music!
In fact, pianists and those who play symphony orchestras have already planned to do so, and several respected seniors are planning to sit in silence at Li Ke's company.
There's no way, piano pieces like Symphony of Fate are too explosive!
"It's good to know you. I'm here to invite you to join me. Besides..."
As soon as Li Ke finished speaking, he heard a familiar voice.
"Meat, this is not how you roast it."
He turned his head in surprise, and then saw a small man standing at a barbecue stall nearby, with his arms folded and a mysterious look on his face .
It was his mentor Rambo.
