In fact, she sensed a hint of danger from the boy. Was he hiding it too well or something else? But there were many powerful guests here, so it didn't matter as long as they didn't cause trouble.
As time went by, the store manager and waiters started to get busy. The barrier between the kitchen and the front hall was well built, and you couldn't tell what was going on in the kitchen from the front hall. But Li Mo's sense of smell was far superior to that of an ordinary person, and he could smell that beef was being stewed in the kitchen.
Soon, customers came into the store and Li Mo greeted them gently one by one.
With the help of the system, Li Mo can greet these people. Secondly, the cat house itself has magic, which can be translated, which is equivalent to having a simultaneous interpreter next to it.
It is not difficult to replicate such magic. There are countless languages on Earth, and most people only know one language, so there is the act of translation, this job. Moreover, this phenomenon has existed for thousands of years. Based on this, a magic called "Language Mastery" can be developed.
Li Mo developed such a magic in a very short period of time.
He chatted with the guests and had a delicious meal. The store manager had studied Chinese cuisine and the taste was very authentic. When the Sichuan pepper flavor hit his tongue, Li Mo knew the boss's cooking skills.
Most Chinese restaurants have to adapt to local customs and adjust the taste according to the local taste. As for Japanese cuisine, Li Mo really wants to say that it is either too much or too little. Either the seasoning is light, as if it is for health preservation, or it is heavy in oil and salt, which is for manual laborers to taste.
According to the information he got, Li Mo knew that the other world did not refer to one specific world, but multiple worlds, which was different from the original cat house.
The world where the Great Six Pillars are located has the most gates. The number of gates in the other worlds is relatively rare. Each world has its own unique features. For example, in one world, the "Phantom Knight" is made of Warcraft materials, which is similar to the Gundam in Japanese culture. For example, there is another world where magic is passed down through blood. One of the countries has the magic of time and space teleportation. It is said that the king is a woman, and the husband is a man summoned from another world, etc...
However, Li Mo found the common point of these different worlds, that is, most of them are defined as "Western fantasy" worlds. Why is this?
New questions arise, and perhaps in the future Li Mo will explore the secrets. But now, the focus is still on the "door".
"Boss, I want two fried pork chop combos, both to be taken away!"
A familiar voice appeared in his ears, and Li Mo looked and saw a blonde female doll appear there.
"Thor?"
"Huh? Li Mo, why are you here?"
Thor appeared here. Li Mo's first reaction was whether the other party had come in through an abnormal channel, just like last time. Obviously, Hei had the same reaction.
"Don't worry, I went through the normal channels this time. I went to my own world first, and then found the door before coming to the store." Thor said.
The store manager also appeared at this time to prove Thor's words. The cat house itself has a protection, and ordinary people really can't do anything here. But Thor is not an ordinary person.
After the commotion, things calmed down. Thor sat there like a guest and ordered another set meal.
After Li Mo asked, he found out that Thor first returned to his own world and then came to the "Cat House" through the door in his memory. She can come to the "Cat House" through her own ability, but that will confront the door of the "Cat House".
"Actually, at this time the manager can open and close the back door to leave the cat house. However, it has to be opened by the manager himself, outsiders are not allowed." Thor said as he sat next to Li Mo.
She came here today to pack a set meal for Kobayashi. It seemed that it was because Kobayashi accidentally wanted to continue eating the cat house set meal.
So Thor came here, and of course in order to avoid Xiaolin getting angry, he adopted this roundabout approach.
"In fact, I came to this store a long time ago. At that time, the store manager was not this store manager, but another store manager. It was also in the cat house that I obtained the coordinates of the earth."
Thor talked eloquently. As the daughter of the Emperor of the End, she was very familiar with the nearby world communities.
Li Mo took the opportunity to ask questions.
Chapter 562: What I Saw
Thor is a treasure trove. Li Mo met many extraordinary people in Tokyo, but looking at the others, Lily Ling is fine, her talent is terrifying, after all, she is the protagonist of a comedy show. What about the little evil god? A person who came from a big family in the demon world behaves like a gangster, and he is not good at answering any questions...
She did go to school!
If Mr. Li remembered correctly, the little evil god went to school thousands of years ago. Could it be that her brain had been eaten by zombies during these thousands of years?
In contrast, Thor is very different. This guy, who shares the same name as the god of thunder in Norse mythology, is a powerful dragon from another world with extraordinary strength. Because he has lived long enough, he has seen many things.
From her mouth, he could learn many things. As expected of a giant dragon that had fought with the gods of another world. The knowledge she revealed was enough for Li Mo to digest. Admittedly, this information was more like common sense like local customs and experiences. If it was to be classified, it would probably belong to the liberal arts, but it was also useful to Li Mo.
"Torsan, do you know the world I was talking about earlier?"
Thor: "You mean the missing high school student? Based on your description, I have the impression that there is such a world nearby. But that world is very closed, and there is a group of guys in it who can use time ability. It's very troublesome."
Then she began to talk about that self-enclosed world.
That world is the world of Natsuki Subaru. Li Mo just mentioned something about Natsuki Subaru casually. He heard relevant information from Yuigahama Yui on Monday. Sitting in this restaurant connected to another world, I thought of a possibility. Could the world where Natsuki Subaru is located be the world that Thor knows?
By describing that world, Thor successfully awakened the memory of that world.
"Protection" is a special power system in the nearby world community.
"Guest, your fried pork loin set meal is ready."
It was the store manager who interrupted the conversation. He returned to the front hall with a packed lunch. Just as Thor paid the bill and was about to return to the kitchen, Thor asked, "Manager, I have a smuggling business. Do you want to do it?"
"Is that the smuggling you mentioned last time? Forget about that kind of stuff."
"That's such a pity."
The conversation between Thor and the store manager was so brief, but it left Li Mo confused. Smuggling, what smuggling?
Li Mo was very clear about the definition of smuggling. The problem was, how could Thor be related to smuggling? Could it be that...
Li Mo thought about the state of the earth, the dragons from the other world, and the demons from the demon world could appear in Japan. Combined with the previous speculation about the economic situation in Japan, it is not difficult to draw a conclusion.
But guesswork is just guesswork.
"Torsan, can you explain in detail the smuggling you mentioned?" Li Mo asked.
"Hey? Are you interested in this? Unfortunately, I have to leave the store soon. Well... do you want to follow me all the way back? It looks like the manager doesn't have time to see you off." Thor said.
The store manager is very busy now. To be more precise, he has been very busy since breakfast time. Even though there are two more waiters, he is the only one in the kitchen, and the customer flow in the store is... very high.
This is also why the store manager said earlier that they would only have time to send Li Mo away when the store closed at night.
Now, leave?
My brain was spinning. I had been observing the door for such a long time. To be honest, I couldn't understand the mysterious Li Mo, and I didn't know where to start replicating. For something that I couldn't understand, it was best to swallow it and transform it, just like swallowing the fantasy tree in the Nordic Lostbelt and transforming it into the "Star Anchor".
But, he couldn't tear down the door of the cat house, could he? If he did, there might be a large group of people fighting him... Among them, characters like the Great Six Pillars would be troublesome for Li Mo.
After all, he is the one standing at the top of his own world.
If you follow Thor, you can experience the time travel again. Although the result and possibility are the same as the time travel through the system, it is still different from the time travel through the system, isn't it?
"Then I'll trouble you, Tolsang."
"Then let's go!"
Thor opened the door, and on the other side of the door was a field that looked like a mountain range.
The door of the "Cat House" seems to represent a journey that is directly connected to the world. If Thor's journey is like flying in the universe with a spaceship, then the door of the "Cat House" is something like a wormhole.
"That's why the cat house is connected to only a few nearby worlds. Unlike me, I can go wherever I want." Thor said.
After coming out of the cat house, Thor became a dragon and invited Li Mo to sit on her back and move forward.
Thor did not start traveling across the world directly, but instead soared across the vast continent.
It was also at this time that she began to explain about smuggling.
"Japan is quite special on Earth. Visitors from other worlds can enter and leave Japan freely. But they cannot freely travel to other places. According to the terminology on Earth, it is probably something like a free port."
"I've heard about why Japan did this, and it's not because of any political factors. It's simply because Japan's economy was good in the past, and we, the visitors from another world, don't like to stay in wild places, such as Africa. Is there any difference between staying there and staying in our own world? But it was like this when I came to Japan. If you ask me more, I don't know. Maybe Lukoya knows more."
"There are many extraordinary forces on Earth. There is a lot of demand for various materials, but there are relatively few such materials on Earth. Many visitors from other worlds like to bring some local specialties from their own worlds to Earth to exchange for money. If you go through large channels, not only do you have to pay taxes, but the purchase price is also lower."
Smuggling, it's called smuggling. In fact, it's more like a self-employed business. According to Thor, magicians from other parts of the world often come to Japan to buy materials directly. They may still have to pay taxes, but the purchase price is much cheaper. For the merchants selling, the price they get is much higher. It can be seen that the channels of those large chambers of commerce have raised the price a lot.
Thor found a private buyer on Earth and needed to purchase goods, and he also looked for the store manager to expand the funds at hand.
"In fact, the store manager has a large number of gold coins. Unfortunately, he keeps them there and doesn't move them much. He occasionally exchanges them for Japanese yen through official channels, but the exchange rate is obviously so low."
Thor complained as he turned into a human to purchase the necessary magical materials.
Li Mo, who was observing the customs and habits of the other world nearby, just smiled and casually asked why Thor wanted to make money.
Thor's answer was: "I live in Xiaolin's house all day long and have no source of income. The only money I have is the living expenses Xiaolin gives me. I can't even prepare a surprise for Xiaolin."
This reason is normal.
Chapter 563: Journey into Nothingness
"Roar--!!"
The ferocious roar shook the forest, and the frightened birds flapped their wings and flew into the sky.
The sky is blocked by layers of tall green trees, and under the trees are all kinds of weeds.
The sound that spread in the forest came from a tall monster. The monster had green skin, a naked upper body, and leather pants on the lower body. It was probably the skin of some kind of monster. The large wooden stick in his hand was inlaid with sharp metal objects.
And around it, there are densely packed green dwarfs, who seem to be of the same race as the tall monster.
"Goblin" and "Goblin Warrior".
The Western fantasy world, or what the Japanese call the other world, is often full of monsters, and goblins just appear in front of us.
"Why are there goblins around here?!"
Li Mo looked at Thor beside him.
She turned into a maid and hid her dragon horns and tail. She touched her head embarrassedly, and the words of surprise before came out of her mouth.
"I should be asking you this question." Li Mo raised his hand.
The magic bullet gathered in front of his finger, and then fired, hitting the goblin accurately. The strong goblin didn't have natural magic resistance, but how could his naturally strong body not be able to defend against this little magic?
Then, at the moment when the magic bullets hit his body, the tall body fell down, and in an instant, the living life turned into a cold corpse. As the corpse fell heavily, the muffled sound made the other goblins who followed him stunned, and then they fled in all directions.
Goblins are such cowardly monsters. The magic bullets blessed by the "Power of the Beast" killed the goblins instantly, and the mixed group of good and bad people fled in all directions.
Dark soldiers spread out from the shadows, and the warriors of "Dragon's Shadow" appeared in front of them. Following Li Mo's orders, they spread out at a faster speed to kill the goblins.
"Hehe, I remember there should have been elves nearby. Could it be that he was captured and made into food? That shouldn't be the case. Those elves were quite powerful." Thor said.
Li Mo: "I am only concerned about whether we can find materials here. You also said that you have never seen this road before."
She came to this deep forest to look for a certain mineral. It can be purchased in the human chamber of commerce, but the price is expensive. Thor, who is determined to make money, will naturally not be a sucker. It just so happens that she has the storage location of this vein in her memory.
The novelty of coming to a different world disappeared, and running around brought only fatigue. When communicating with those merchants, Thor couldn't suppress his temper and always asked Li Mo for help.
——Of course I can understand that. The mercenary expressions of the merchants in this world are annoying. The ugly faces of capitalists are revealed on the surface. Can't you put on a business smile?
In short, after spending some time, most of the items were done.
Thor: "I found it. Why is there a building here? It doesn't matter."
Continuing forward, we can see buildings in the distance. In this deep forest, it should be a mine, right? Walking into the mine, we can find that there are no people here at all. Judging from the traces left behind, it should be humans who discovered the minerals here and built the mine. As for why the workers left... With the feedback of the number of goblins killed by the warriors created by "Dragon's Shadow", Li Mo roughly understood what was going on.
