Chapter 65
The fact that Sargerass’ clothes had exploded was one thing, the key point was that raging flames was still blazing crazily . Red lava flowed along the lines on his body, raising the temperature around the room by several degrees .
Mike stared at Sargerass who was struggling to control his reaction . There was a trace of surprise on his face . If a succubus ate one of the [Juicy Hamburger]…the scene after that was a little uncomfortable to imagine . He felt that he should include a warning on the menu next time .
Fortunately, Sargerass’ clothes were quite unique . Although his body was on fire, the clothes and cloak were not affected at all . Which saved them all from an awkward scene if the clothes had actually burnt up .
Mike was not the only one who was surprised . Two customers who had just entered the restaurant were stunned as well . Though they were attracted by the rich and meaty fragrance to the point that they could not help but swallow . However, seeing what looked like a lava demon in a temper actually made them silently retreated, and ran out of the restaurant .
“I wonder what Boss Mike did to that lava demon? To the point that it challenged him to a battle?” the two customers made it a few steps away, and stopped, unable to forget the smell . They were unwilling to leave, and could not help being worried about the situation .
Lava demons were the most powerful when it came to battle . Their destructive power was super strong . A few careless fireballs would burn a house to ashes .
Mike had always struck them as the warm and gentle type, so it was unclear how he could have provoked a lava demon to this point . If they did not calm this guy down, the whole restaurant could be razed to the ground .
If Boss Mike had been a powerful man, or had a strong backer behind him . Then there was no need to worry about people coming to the restaurant to make trouble .
But, Mickey Restaurant only has that lone father and daughter pair, definitely could never hold up against a demon whose power was especially geared towards fighting . This caused them to wonder if they would ever be able to ever taste such delicious food as the [Yang Zhou Fried Rice] ever again, they even came especially early to check out the new product .
The customers at the restaurant has seen that Sargerass had that extreme reaction after eating the [Juicy Hamburger] . They had also felt some agitation within their blood after eating the [Juicy Hamburger], however none of them had such extreme reaction, in fact, they felt quite comfortable .
Really did not expect the demon’s reaction to be so extreme . To the point that he transformed into his fighting form . Who know what kind of super drug Boss Mike put into his [Juicy Burger] .
Sargerass took 2 steps back, to avoid burning the table with the flames on his body . The lines of lava on his body started to move faster and faster . The feeling of breaking through was something that he had not experienced for a long time, it was like breaking free from chains that had been holding him down all this while . His heart throbbed in his chest, it’s rhythm accelerated .
Ever since his powers had had stopped improving even half a step 50 years ago, he had tried countless of ways and travelled nearly half the continent, but still could not find a way to breakthrough .
Unexpectedly, with just a bite of this [Juicy Burger], his blood had agitated, edging him closer to a breakthrough than anything he had tried . His body had ignited like a burning star .
He could feel that as long as continue to eat, that burning star will explode into true fire, allowing him to experience a rebirth through fire, becoming the first lava demon in a hundred years to achieve a breakthrough .
At that time, the plans that he had abandoned 50 years ago could now be continued . That mysterious thing under the Holy Lake, he could go and have a look again . An excited expression took over his face .
“Daddy, daddy, our chair is burnt up . ” it was at the time when everyone had their eyes on Sargerass, waiting to see what other changes his body would make, that little Amy pointed a little finger at a pile of ashes where the chair had been . She glared up at Sargerass, her little face completely sincere, “Pay up, Big Baldy! Though you’re a demon, I’m super fierce! I’ll burn you up . ”
“Miau!” within Amy’s arms, Ugly Duckling’s fur puffed up and it screeched at Sargerass . Only, it’s voice was too tiny .
Still immersed within the joy of the breakthrough, Sargerass was stunned for a moment . He glanced down at the pile of ashes where the chair had been, and awkwardly rubbed his bald head .
However, his mood was too good . Naturally, the matter of compensating for a chair was a small matter to him . He took control over the fire around his body and absorbed it, dropping the temperature around him quite a bit . However, the lava lines around his body were still there, and one could see the slow flow of the red-gold liquid fire within . He waived a large hand, “I’ll pay, give me 10 more of this [Juicy Burger], boss . ”
“Hmph, you better keep your promise . ” Amy nodded, her eyes narrowed in warning .
“Little Boss, bill please . ” at this moment, the narrow-eyed man placed his packet of [Juicy Hamburger] down . Perfectly satisfied as he stood up, he looked at Amy as he took out his coin purse, “It’s really worth coming over so early for the [Juicy Burger], my whole body felt really good . I am now filled with spirit, it’s a really good feeling . ”
“1 [Juicy Burger] 3 gold coins . ” Amy nodded .
“3 gold coins . ” The narrow-eyed man took out 3 gold coins and placed them on Amy’s hand . He bid Mike a brief good-bye, edged around Sargerass to reach the door, and left the restaurant .
“3…boss, your this bread costs 3 gold coins! Then how much am I expected to pay for this chair?” Sargerass stared at Mike as he asked . He unconsciously touched his coin purse, spending just 3 gold coins on a bread that could help him breakthrough was inexpensive . However, he only has a few dozen gold coins in his purse, if he had to pay for the chair as well, he almost definitely could not afford to eat 10 .
Everyone looked over, all really interested to know just how much the chair would actually cost . This restaurant has a really comfortable atmosphere, the furnitures has a simple design, but did not lack quality . In fact, there’s a kind of elegant feel to it .
“That’s right, one [Juicy Burger] is 3 gold coins . ” Mike said with a smile, he was also eyeing the pile of ashes, quietly asking: “Hey [System], how much does a single chair cost anyway?”
“1 dining chair from this set, 10 gold coins . ” [System] answered mildly .
“10 gold coins? Do you really think that guy’s such an idiot with money?” Mike’s mouth twitched . The tables and chairs were quite simple yet elegant . However, 10 gold coins was just a little on the expensive side .
“The furnitures within this restaurant are all created from the same hundred year old tree from the Wind Forest, the annual rings are all completely identical . The visual effects of this creates a perfectly harmonious and comfortable atmosphere . Right now, there are only 5 chairs made from this tree left, we’ll have to buy them as soon as possible . ” [System] replied blandly .
“Simply using the elf’s spring of life water to grow rice and taking a hundred year old tree from the Windstorm Forest to make tables and chairs . Aren’t you even a little bit worried the elven tribe elders might come over to chop me to pieces?” Mike was speechless
However, he had to admit that the [System] went through a lot of trouble for the sake of this restaurant . Within this Sin City, this was probably the only place with furniture made from Windstorm Forest wood .
“”Everything is within the [System’s] calculation, there are no danger . Please do not underestimate the [System’s] ability . ” said the [System] a little annoyed .
“The chair is 10 gold coins,” Mike had stopped paying attention to the [System] . He smiled at Sargerass .
“10… 3 gold coins!” Sargerass looked at the gold coins held in his large hand .
“Big Baldy, that’s exactly 13 gold coins . ” Amy stood up on her toes to take a look and nodded .
