Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

Xiao Die had left.

In front of the Justice Iron Fist Club, the three people were still drinking.

On the table, Kitty's note and pens were all put away, replaced by a few drinking snacks.

Barry, Kitty and Gu Qing Shan sat around the table.

Gu Qing Shan checked the time.

Six and a half minutes left.

"Lookie here, you actually prepared some snacks as well" Barry was surprised.

He took one of the plates and put it all in his mouth.

The plate was empty.

"Drinking snacks huh, seems like you're someone who knows how to enjoy himself" Kitty agreed.

She also took one of the plates and poured it down her mouth.

This plate was empty too.

Seeing that, Gu Qing Shan felt a bit of cold sweat running down.

-------how long have these two been hungry for?

Barry took another sip of liquor.

He looked at Gu Qing Shan with a serious expression.

"Young man… if it weren't for the Keeper Association's ship, you wouldn't have been able to make it here at all------ what do you do in the infinite worlds?" Barry scowled and asked.

Even though Gu Qing Shan's strength was hidden by the effects of a scroll, Barry still easily managed to see through the scroll's protection with his sharp eyes and discern Gu Qing Shan's true level of power.

"Let me reintroduce myself, I'm Gu Qing Shan, a barista" Gu Qing Shan answered.

He still remembered Barry's golden statues.

Barry's eyes lit up, but purposefully scorned: "A barista? I don't believe it-------- you care to give it a try? I'll have you know, not just anyone can call themselves a barista"

Gu Qing Shan tapped his Inventory Bag and took out a wide variety of liquors, mixing a glass of cocktail with his highest standard.

"Go ahead" he offered the glass.

Barry and Kitty exchanged glances.

This guy's mixing was so skillful that he managed to make a cocktail through randomly shuffling some bottles around.

And the cocktail itself------- the different alcohols were clearly separated into layers in the glass, with distinctly different colors.

This is a professional level of mixing.

"What a pretty cocktail, let me try…"

Kitty reached her hand out, wanting to take the glass.

Barry instantly swiped the glass, turned around and drank it all while shielding it from Kitty.

"Bro! This was clearly a woman's cocktail from its appearance" Kitty angrily pounded his back in protest.

She wasn't holding back either, hitting Barry so hard he almost spat it back out.

But he endured it and swallowed.

"Hoh----" Barry sighed deeply.

What a strong drink.

Seeing Kitty's irritated expression, Gu Qing Shan quickly made one for her as well

After Kitty finished her drink as well, Gu Qing Shan asked: "How was it?"

"So so"

"Barely good enough"

The pair of brother and sister clicked their tongues, pretending to comment on it.

"Who would've thought, you really were a barista" Kitty turned to him and spoke.

"Mixing is only a hobby, my real job is actually cooking" Gu Qing Shan replied.

The brother and sister exchanged looks again.

They instantly understood the look in each other's eyes.

"Young man, you're quite the lucky one" Barry proudly said.

"I'm lucky?" Gu Qing Shan was stunned.

"You know the saying 'different people have different tastes'? This is especially true for the cuisine of different worlds. Cooks like you find it really hard to make a living, catering to people of various worlds. But me, I'm a gourmand, a professional responsible for ranking and evaluating the quality of foods" Barry crossed his arms and declared.

"That's right, you can try taking out some of your work here, we'll help you evaluate them, for free" Kitty added.

Gu Qing Shan was speechless.

-----'different people have different tastes' my ass. I've also been through a few worlds, even if human taste buds differ from place to place, there's no real difference when it comes to true gourmet food.

You pair of brother and sister bounce the ball back and forth between yourselves, do you really think I'm stupid?

Gu Qing Shan glanced over the War God UI.

He checked the time.

3 minutes left.

Not enough to cook.

"Do you have some sort of specialty?" Kitty silently swallowed her saliva and asked solemnly.

Gu Qing Shan just took out two portions of spirit cooking.

These were spirit cooking carefully made by Qin Xiao Lou through one entire day and night, he spent a lot of effort on these cooking.

It was the beginning of the war at that time, Qin Xiao Lou said that he made these in anticipation for Gu Qing Shan's birthday and if everyone in the sect wasn't able to gather, he could eat these to celebrate.

While he was a master of all 6 arts, Qin Xiao Lou's forte was cooking, so no matter how busy everyone in Bai Hua sect got, none of them would ever miss a meal.

So in a sense, these were the highest quality spirit cooking that Gu Qing Shan was able to produce at this point in time.

Barry and Kitty stared closely at the two portions of spirit cooking, their eyes keen, almost like a couple of starving wolves.

"Please try it"

Gu Qing Shan offered them the spirit cooking.

Barry took up a fork, solemnly saying: "I've been through over a hundred billion worlds, my taste buds are known to be incredibly refined. Seeing how this is our first meeting, I'll be happy to evaluate your cooking for free"

Kitty also nodded.

…then I suppose I should say 'thank you', Gu Qing Shan silently sighed.

Barry just took the entire plate and started wolfing it down.

Kitty's eating manners were much more graceful this time around, but the amount of food in her plate was disappearing just as fast as Barry's.

It seems they really haven't eaten anything for a long time.

Seeing this, Gu Qing Shan tried asking Barry: "With your strength, wouldn't taking up a few jobs or favors for payment be really simple? Why does it seem like you owe a lot of money?"

Kitty suddenly looked up.

She seriously explained: "For the part few years, bro's leg wound had been getting worse and worse, so he can't leave this place"

Gu Qing Shan wondered: "You guys saved so many worlds already, couldn't you at least go out for a meal?"

"It's very hard, bro has too many mortal enemies so it's dangerous for him to leave" Kitty explained.

Barry nodded in agreement: "Right! There's quite a few insane bastards out there that are really strong, only me at my peak would be able to win against them"

He then patted his leg, smiling: "Fortunately, thanks to the Pixie Crystal Flower, I only need to rest well for a bit and I'll fully recover.

Kitty was also really happy about that, excitedly shouting: "Badleg Barry will no longer have a bag leg!"

Gu Qing Shan nodded, telling them: "Got it, do finish your food"

The two of them went back to wolfing down the food.

Only after they licked the plates sparkly clean that Gu Qing Shan asked: "How was it?"

"So so"

"Barely good enough"

The two of them put the plates down, commenting while clicking their tongues.

It tastes good, but there's not enough.

After being hungry for so long, that much isn't nearly enough.

-------can we get another portion?

The brother and sister exchanged glances again, instantly understanding the look in each other's eyes.

They started to think of a way into getting Gu Qing Shan to take out some more food.

Gu Qing Shan glanced at the remaining time on the War God UI.

40 seconds left.

"Alright, it's time for me to say goodbye" Gu Qing Shan stood up to leave.

"Where are you going?" Barry couldn't help but ask.

"Drifting about the infinite worlds"

"Drifting about? With your current strength, you'll be killed in no time" Barry sarcastically said.

"I can't help it, can I? I like to mix drinks and to make food, so I'll need to travel from place to place, seeing the different worlds' ingredients" Gu Qing Shan said without turning around.

Barry scowled and fell into thought.

"Bro, we still haven't found supper" Kitty silently told him.

"But we owe too much money, letting him join the club will only be bad for him" Barry replied in a low voice.

"Let him stay for a day, he won't be counted as one of us, so the debtors won't be able to say anything" Kitty said.

Him staying here one more day means there'll be more delicious food to eat.

----and good booze.

Barry didn't hesitate anymore.

"Wait a minute" he called out.

Gu Qing Shan acted like he didn't hear it and kept walking forward.

6 seconds.

Seeing Gu Qing Shan's quickening steps, Kitty pulled hard on Barry's shirt.

Barry hurriedly shouted: "Hey, you can stay here for a day to rest, it won't be too late to leave tomorrow!"

The timer reaches 0.

Lines of glowing text showed up on the War God UI.
