"A restaurant? Are you referring to those Human Noble's restaurants?" The burly man's tone wasn't very friendly, which caused Chen Ze some panic, especially upon seeing that the other party's pupils were vertical.
"You are the first, brave enough to open a Magic Portal inside the mighty Dark Nest of the Abyss!" Smoke puffed out from the strong man's nostrils.
The corners of Chen Ze's mouth twitched. Here we go again, two visitors from Otherworlds had mentioned something called a Magic Portal—what the heck is that? Chen Ze admitted he had absolutely no idea.
"If it weren't for the fact that there's no trace of my treasures' scent in your establishment, I would have devoured you in one bite." The burly man licked his lips, his tail slapping against the floor.
In response, Chen Ze could only offer a dry laugh, trying his best not to anger these creatures who seemed all too ready to eat someone at the drop of a hat.
Seeing Chen Ze's smile, Sebastian's mood darkened a bit. He twitched his tail irritably. From the moment he entered the room, Sebastian realized that his strength was being limited.
He had originally planned to simply come in, kill and silence everyone, and then destroy the Portal. However, feeling this inexplicable suppression, he abandoned the idea.
"So what food do you have here?" Sebastian bared his teeth. Since there might be some big shot behind this restaurant, it might be better for him to behave.
Chen Ze thought for a moment. The only thing he could confidently offer was the light cheesecake he had just learnt to make.
"How about this, a light cheesecake?" Chen Ze was somewhat nervous, worried that if this customer didn't feel like having that, he would have to resort to yesterday's instant noodle trick.
"Light cheesecake? What's that? Never mind, just give me one," Sebastian had never heard of this dish. However, considering the strange décor, he felt he might have come to an unusual place.
Chen Ze nodded. It didn't take long to make a light cheesecake. After explaining to Sebastian to wait for a moment, Chen Ze returned to the kitchen.
"Speaking of which, I clearly didn't see his lips move, so why did I hear him speak?" Chen Ze washed his hands and began his preparations.
"Last time it was an Elf, this time who knows what he is. Those eyes and tail... couldn't be a Dragon, could it?" At this thought, Chen Ze froze for a moment, and the step of adding eggs went slightly awry.
Chen Ze shook his head vigorously, expelling all those bizarre thoughts from his mind. He had not forgotten that there was a creature sitting in the restaurant that might be a Dragon.
He wondered whether the Dessert Novice's passive ability would be triggered.
Looking at the cake already put into the oven, Chen Ze felt a bit anxious. This was his first real time cooking for someone... ah no, cooking for a Dragon.
Chen Ze pulled out his phone to check it, and sure enough, the mobile signal was gone again.
It seemed that whenever these Otherworldly visitors entered the shop, they would block the signal. Looking at the oven that had automatically shut off at the set time, Chen Ze had some speculations.
[You have made a barely acceptable cake, with your dessert crafting experience increasing by 2 points.]
[Dessert Novice triggered.]
[The barely acceptable cake randomly gained an additional attribute.]
[The barely acceptable cake acquired the effect of melting in the mouth.]
A series of characters flickered before Chen Ze's eyes.

"Holy smokes, did it really come out?" Chen Ze couldn't help but pinch his own face, he truly hadn't expected the first cake he made after acquiring the passive skill to directly trigger its effect.
"Melts in your mouth?" Chen Ze stroked his chin, looking at the light cheesecake he had just taken out of the oven, a bit unclear about the significance of this random effect.
But it was still much better than a cake that didn't receive any random attribute bonuses. At least, that's what Chen Ze thought.
Sebastian sniffed. Ever since a while ago, the air had been filled with a delicious scent that made him, who had just eaten two Thunder Rhinoceroses, feel hungry once again.
This aroma was incredibly dragon-enticing, and while Sebastian had tasted the cuisine of the human world before, rarely had any dish made him feel so impatient.
He shook his tail eagerly, his thick tail thumping against the wooden floor, yet it didn't cause any cracks.
"Indeed, behind this restaurant lies an existence more powerful than I am." Seeing that his tail, capable of easily shattering rocks, was ineffective against the wood, Sebastian became even more certain of his thoughts.
"Is my cake not ready yet?" Enticed by the dragon-enticing scent, Sebastian grew even more anxious and began to urge Chen Ze.
Chen Ze, who had just finished plating the cake, heard Sebastian's voice and hurriedly served the cake, placing it in front of Sebastian.
Sebastian swallowed hard as the fluffy thing that Chen Ze served intensified the already dragon-enticing fragrance in the air.
However, to be cautious, Sebastian still secretly cast a spell to detect anomalies, confirming that there was nothing else mixed into the cake, and no curses.
Having verified its safety, Sebastian quickly picked up a knife and fork, cut a small piece of cake, and slowly placed it into his mouth.
The moment it entered his mouth, Sebastian was stunned for a second, he felt the thing known as cake turn into water the instant it touched his tongue.
It was delicious, and Sebastian, looking at the cake in front of him, felt a bit excited; he had never eaten such a unique food before.
Compared to this cake, his previously favorite Thunder Rhino meat now seemed bland and tasteless. Even the tingling sensation of being struck by lightning it left in his mouth couldn't compare to this cake in front of him.
Sebastian deliberately slowed his pace, cutting the cake bit by bit, then putting it in his mouth; he wanted to savor it for as long as possible.
But the light cheesecake wasn't very big to begin with, and compared to Sebastian's own size, it wasn't even as big as one of his toenails, so he finished it rather quickly anyway.
"How much for this food?" Sebastian licked his lips, he felt as if he had been living in heaven just now.
Chen Ze scratched his head; otherworldly creatures certainly didn't have RMB, and it wasn't like he could pull out a smartphone and tell him to pay with WeChat, so pricing was indeed a problem.
Thinking about the Elf who paid the day before, Chen Ze stretched out a finger, "The light cheesecake will be one..."
"One Gold Coin? Quite a bargain," Sebastian placed a Gold Coin on the table.
This move stunned Chen Ze, who was about to say that it would cost one silver coin. One cake for one Gold Coin? Moreover, the cake he had made was rather a reluctant creation, the total cost of the ingredients wouldn't exceed fifty RMB.
"Rich, much?"
