Chapter 358 At this point, let's eat
Ma Lu had finally figured out the ins and outs of the situation, why the tiny Pink Whale Smuggling Group dared to mess with the most troublesome Dimensional Pirates in the Multiverse.
Previously, Lao Hei had been driven to a dead end several times and had almost died, but he still refused to hand over that bread machine.
It turned out there were untouchable big shots involved.
However, even though Lao Hei and everyone on the Pink Whale tried their best, they eventually lost the bread machine.
Ma Lu patted Lao Hei on the shoulder and consoled him, "What's done is done, overthinking is pointless, let's eat first."
Right after he spoke, Ma Youyou had already served the first appetizer—Braised Ape Finger.
This time Lao Hei was quite generous, directly paying 10,000 Star Currency, so of course, Ma Lu had to give him some real delicacies.
However, he hadn't had time to study the menus for this price range before, so he could only rummage through the stock in the freezer, using whatever ingredients were expensive.
Like this Braised Ape Finger, which used fingers from a 7-star ingredient, the Six-armed Ancient Ape. Ma Lu had gone through a lot of trouble dealing with this beast initially.
The ingredients he brought back never found someone who appreciated (and could afford) them until Lao Hei threw down 10,000 Star Currency this time, asking for one last meal, causing Ma Lu to finally take it out.
Even though it was only minimally processed, the Deliciousness Index of this Braised Ape Finger still reached ★★★★★★☆, once again setting a new record for the Universe Infinite Canteen's food chart.
The rich meaty aroma quickly filled the entire restaurant, causing Lady Cheng at the neighboring table to look over several times.
So she changed her mind and called out to Ma Lu, "Boss, what dish is that, give me one too."

"Sure, 3,000 Star Currency."
Hearing this number, Lady Cheng was momentarily stunned, she wasn't unfamiliar with meals in this price range; when her husband hadn't been caught yet, she often visited the Cosmic Chef's restaurant with her close friends to taste various delicacies.
It was normal for them to spend a few thousand, even ten thousand Star Currency on a meal, and there were plenty of businessmen hoping to court her husband who vied to pay the bill.
Furthermore, considering this was a conflict between Sir M and the Dimensional Pirates within the Pink Whale Smuggling Group, this leader of the Dimensional Pirates had likely come looking for Lao Hei.
Following the principle of not letting a companion die in place of oneself, Ma Lu silently stepped aside.
From behind him came Lady Cheng's voice, "Who's come this time? It seems your little restaurant does quite a good business..."
She didn't finish her sentence before she let out a scream upon clearly seeing who had come.
Lao Hei had been focusing on dealing with the plate of fried okra and leopard meat. Upon looking up and seeing the unwelcome visitor, her face immediately turned pale, and she dropped her chopsticks in fright.
With a trembling voice she stammered, "But... you guys already took the toaster, why have you come back?"
The Golden Slime did not answer her. Dimensional Pirates typically didn't speak.
It just wobbled from the door, walking past the shivering Lao Hei and Lady Cheng, who was continuously releasing auditory attacks and even eventually passed out from fright.
During this, it didn't glance at them even once, just went straight into the kitchen.
If not for the faint trail of slime left on the floor, everything that had just happened would seem like a bizarre dream.
But shortly after, Ma Lu's face changed, "Old Wang!"
After shouting those two words, he too dashed into the kitchen.
Ma Lu was worried the golden Dimensional Pirate might harm Old Wang, but as he grabbed the scarf given to him by the Wandering Sorcerer and rushed into the kitchen.
He saw Old Wang still leisurely bustling around the stove. Meanwhile, the Valkyrie People, perhaps unused to seeing Dimensional Pirates, didn't seem too perturbed.
Even a few dwarves were circling around the Golden Slime.
"How did you get in here? This is the kitchen; it's the Chef's domain. Except for those of us working here like this, other guests are not allowed inside."
The Golden Slime seemed to understand their words and actually took a small step back, but still didn't leave, staring in the direction of the oven.
