BXBX NOVEL Chapter 494 - Ironfist Barry
Proofreader: Arya
Gu Qing Shan glanced over the War God UI.
He finished reading through the notifications but didn’t talk to the System right away.
Because some light had begun to appear around his body, the light seemed to be ejecting him through the void of space.
An inexplicable sense of rejection surrounded Gu Qing Shan.
Briefly sensing it, Gu Qing Shan found that this was a pushing force that came from the world itself.
The amount of time he was allowed to stay was up, so the Super Dimensional world was preparing to eject him.
The 1 hour he had was given by Xiao Die.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to enter this Super Dimensional world in the first place.
While surrounded by this light, Gu Qing Shan casually turned around.
He looked to Barry and asked: “You mean, I can stay here to rest for a day?”
“Of course young man, this place of mine is quite spacious, you’ll be able to rest up for a day no problem”
Seeing the light around Gu Qing Shan, Barry didn’t even wait for him to accept and just gestured to Kitty.
Kitty’s figure flashed before appearing in front of Gu Qing Shan.
A wondrous wave of power surged upward from the ground, fusing together with her.
“Justice Iron Fist Club”
“Beacon determined, allow this person to remain for a day”
While chanting that, Kitty patted Gu Qing Shan on his shoulder.
Gu Qing Shan stood still, but the light surrounding him went away.
The feeling of rejection from the world disappeared.
He remained.
Gu Qing Shan clasped his fist: “It has been a long way to get here, I’m grateful to the two of you for lending me a place to rest”
“Don’t mind it, this Barry has always been willing to provide others a little bit of convenience” Barry patted his chest and said.
“You came here to deliver something, but we can’t just shoo you away after taking it, that’s not how we are” Kitty said.
“That’s right”
Barry also nodded next to her.
—–we let you stay here for a day out of hospitality and the kindness of our hearts, and not for any other reasons.
Yep, that’s right.
Gu Qing Shan then said: “As thanks for letting me stay, I’ve decided to treat you two to a delicious dinner”
“Come on now, you’re a guest, how can we trouble you so”
“Yes, it should be us treating you”
The brother and sister both spoke sincerely.
Seeing their anxious expression Gu Qing Shan silently retorted in his mind.
—-you’ll treat me? To what, the wind?
He then smiled: “Then how about you help me with something? As thanks, I’ll make you a meal”
The brother and sister became a bit cautious.
As experienced as they were, this scene couldn’t be any more familiar.
Even the mindless space monsters aren’t going to be lured by a simple meal.
So people like them would definitely not fall for such a thing!
“What do you want us to help with?” Kitty smiled and asked with eyes that weren’t smiling.
“Finish a full table of food——- to a cook, the thing they can be proudest about is someone finishing their full course without leaving anything behind” Gu Qing Shan casually said.
He had already taken pots, pans and other utensils from this Inventory Bag and was thinking of what kind of dish to prepare.
“That is…” Kitty found that a bit unexpected, muttering.
“Alright, then we won’t hold back, truthfully said, we can’t really cook at all”
Barry smiled and told him.
After preparing everything, Gu Qing Shan briefly had a thought, reached into his Inventory Bag and took out a jade tag.
A few lines of text showed up on the War God UI.
[Discovered Bai Hua sect spirit cooking complete manual]
[To fully comprehend the techniques inside, you need to consume 200 Soul Points]
200 Soul Points wasn’t a lot.
Gu Qing Shan checked his remaining Soul Points.
From before, to deal with Rakshasa’s [Mystery of All Things Equal], he transformed into various creatures one after another, finally achieving victory.
In that battle, he spent a total of 6900 Soul Points.
Accounting other miscellaneous expenditures as well, Gu Qing Shan now had about 1300 left.
“I’ll use 200 Soul Points to learn the techniques” Gu Qing Shan spoke.
[Soul Points received, remaining Soul Points: 1100/400]
[Comprehending techniques]
A warm flow came from the jade tag into Gu Qing Shan’s hand, settling at his Thought Sea.
Immediately, Gu Qing Shan knew every spirit cooking technique and skill compiled by Bai Hua sect, and it only took 1 brief second.
Gu Qing Shan was originally talented with cooking and brewing, otherwise he couldn’t have become the owner of a thriving grilled food stall, earning enough tuition to pay for three years in an aristocratic high school.
With the new techniques he just learnt, he became even more of an expert.
Gu Qing Shan quickly and skillfully prepared the cooking ingredients.
With a single chef’s knife, he managed to peel the skin of all the vegetables, dicing them neatly and orderly arranged them in a salad bowl.
Following that, he cooked chicken perfectly baked in tin foil over an open fire.
While wearing gloves, Gu Qing Shan quickly shredded the chicken meat by hand into bite-size pieces, mixed a small portion of secret ingredient condiment to go with the chicken and served it on the table.
Next was noodles.
Gu Qing Shan mixed, kneaded, rolled out and stretched the dough from scratch with a bread roller before cooking it once in boiling water. He then sprinkled a bit of rare spirit spring water on top to soak, divided it into three portions with garlic, chili pepper, spring onions, a bit of pickled vegetables as garnish.
…
Fully immersed in this work, Gu Qing Shan quickly made a full course of spirit cooking.
Kitty silently nodded as she watched.
“Without a long time of experience working in a kitchen, his movement wouldn’t be that skillful and fluid” she muttered in a low voice to Barry.
“I’m hungry…” Barry muttered back.
The scent of food filled the air.
The pair of brother and sister moved a table and chair over, set the table neatly before sitting down, full of anticipation.
“Bro, how long have you been hungry for?” Kitty suddenly asked.
“A month and 7 days, aren’t you the same?” Barry asked.
“Ah, I’m only hungry for 21 days” Kitty replied.
“That can’t be right, I remembered we both ran out of food at the same time” Barry questioned.
“I had a few snacks hidden away” Kitty answered.
While they talked, Gu Qing Shan plated up the food on the table.
He also picked out a few liquors, didn’t mix them much and only threw them together to fit his taste.
A rich full course dinner with 7 dishes and delicious alcohol was served.
The three of them had a toast.
“Thank you for having me” Gu Qing Shan said.
“No need, no need, thank you for this wonderful meal” Barry replied.
“Feel free to dig in, after dinner, I’ll prepare some sweets as well” Gu Qing Shan said.
“Alright, then I won’t hold back”
Barry and Kitty quickly forgot everything else but the food.
They quickly gorged it down like it was their last supper.
“Delicious, delicious!” Barry praised.
Kitty looked at Gu Qing Shan: “We were wrong before, with cooking skills like these, you’ll be able to make it in any world without a problem”
“About that, there are a few demons too strong for me, can’t pass them” Gu Qing Shan directly admitted.
Kitty smiled in understanding.
Seeing how up front he was without minding himself being weak, she felt easy talking to him.
Dinner was over.
The brother and sister were still a bit unsatisfied.
“It’s been so long since we last had such a good meal” Barry sighed as he patted his bloated stomach.
Kitty on the other hand was attracted by something as her eyes were staring at a certain direction of space.
“What is it?” Barry asked.
“I feel something quite strong currently heading through the World Layers on our left”
“Are they debtors? Just lock the spatial coordinates and don’t let them in like always” Barry spoke absentmindedly.
Kitty kept staring at space for a while before laughing.
“Not debtors, this time it’s a famous Purgatory devil, it had already destroyed over 3000 civilized worlds, currently heading into the World Layer zone connected to the club” she said.
“Hah? Where did such good fortune come from? Does it not know me?” Barry was intrigued.
“Maybe it doesn’t, or maybe it’s because there’s a group of people chasing after it”
“It’s likely to just be running amok randomly”
“Decide quickly, in that devil’s path is a world of an old friend of ours” Kitty urged him.
Barry bumped his fists together, saying: “Nothing to think about, I had a good meal and I can feel my strength recovering——– just in time for some after-meal exercise”
Seeing this attitude, Kitty took out a note and began to write something on it.
Her writing speed was impressive, but she was muttering something as she wrote.
“Came from the 5th layer of Purgatory”
“Devious, sly and evil”
“Red skin, long ears, a fake eye, large body”
“Likes using weapons to fight, Purgatory Magic already reached Grandmaster level”
“Most powerful ability is——- hiding and assassination”
“Known in the infinite worlds by the nickname: Terminator”
As she wrote that, the paper began to shine.
“Done!” Kitty called out.
“Put him into the club” as Barry said that, he turned and ran into the club.
Kitty quickly wrote one final line onto the paper.
“This Devil came to the Justice Iron Fist club!”
Bang!
The paper exploded before disappearing without a trace.
At the same time, a loud crash could be heard from inside the club.
After the crash, a chilling cruel voice howled: “Damn it, what is this place? Who are you?”
Barry’s arrogant voice rang out: “Insect, listen well, I am the Iron Fist of Justice, Barry!”
“Barry? Which Barry?”
“Seems like you don’t know me”
“You mental? I’m leaving, quietly stay there and don’t mess with me”
“Hang on, hang on, wait a minute”
“What?”
“We’re going to get to know each other”
—–pow!!
Rumble rumble rumble!
Wave after wave of intense impact rang out from inside the club.
Despite all that, the club building itself was completely unharmed, not even a single brick was cracked or dislodged.
Gu Qing Shan tried listening.
The fighting was getting more and more intense, and it didn’t seem like it was going to end any time soon.
Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but ask: “This devil… do you know how strong it is?”
“We’ll know when that fight is over”
Kitty was holding her bowl again, eating while answering him.
The food today was so good, I keep wanting seconds!
Gu Qing Shan wiped the cold sweat off his head and asked again: “Aren’t you afraid that the devil will be too strong and could threaten Barry’s life?”
Kitty absentmindedly answered: “He can’t die during a fight. And I have the club’s spatial beacon, so I can throw that devil into any of the surrounding 300 million World Layers at any time”
Gu Qing Shan: “…”
