Universe Infinite Canteen

According to the Wandering Sorcerer, elements had always been widely present across the various planes of the Multiverse.

But in nature, they were spread out, if it were normal times she could slowly absorb them through meditation.

However, now that she was creating a temporary seal, her mana was nearly depleted, and a Red Little Devil had escaped from the Gates of Hell.

The Wandering Sorcerer had originally planned to grit her teeth, deal with this nuisance first, and then recover her mana.

Yet, with insufficient mana, she couldn't even handle the lowest level demon. For a whole half month, she had been playing hide and seek with that Red Little Devil everywhere.

The latter not only slipped through her fingers each time but also continuously accumulated energy. Now, it even had one foot on the threshold of advancing.

"I must catch it by dawn at the latest."

The Wandering Sorcerer spoke determinedly; however, as soon as she finished speaking, her stomach growled.

Ma Lu then asked another question first, "When you cast the spell to bring these people down and fell from the sky, were you caught by any bystanders or nearby surveillance?"

"Don't worry, I've lived in this plane for quite some time, and I know how to handle such situations. A simple illusion spell will prevent anyone from noticing anything unusual here."

The Female Sorceress then pointed at the people lying haphazardly, "When I leave, I will make sure they wake up."

"That's good."

Ma Lu relaxed, and then began to help the Wandering Sorcerer strategize, "You said each time you almost catch it. Could it possibly be doing it on purpose?"

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

"When you're not fighting it, your mana slowly recovers, right?"

"That's right."

"So, is it possible that it knows it's no match for you, and therefore, when your mana recovers to a certain level, it lures you out to fight and drains the mana you had recovered?"

􏰀􏰁􏰂􏰃!!!

"Is that how it is?"

The Wandering Sorcerer was enlightened, "No wonder my mentor always said the creatures from Hell are very cunning and deceitful. I have to be careful, but I still fell into their trap."

"No worries, we still have time. What you need to do now is recover as much mana as possible, so you can defeat it in the next battle."

The Wandering Sorcerer nodded.

While they were talking, Old Wang had already finished the first dish, which was a cold salad of sweet potato sprouts.

They were tender leaves from the two arms Ma Lu had brought back.

Yes, that's right, apart from the tubers themselves, the leaves are also edible.

Just briefly blanch them in water for two minutes, lift them out, pour over some cold dressing, and they are ready to eat.

The taste was fresh and crisp, with diuretic and sugar-lowering effects.

When Ma Lu served the plate of sweet potato sprouts salad from the kitchen, the Wandering Sorcerer immediately noticed something different.

The rich fire element was frolicking on that small porcelain plate, noisier and more boisterous than ever before.

The Female Sorceress cast a detection spell and immediately obtained the concentration value of the dish — 24%.

This was a full 7 points higher than her initial request, which made the Wandering Sorcerer ecstatic.

"This is just what I need right now."

She couldn't bother to talk more with Ma Lu and picked up her chopsticks to start eating.

As a result, at the first bite, the Female Sorceress even forgot to absorb the fire element within.

Because it was just too delicious!!!

She had been led around by that Red Little Devil lately, and the remaining time was all used for recovering her magical power, leaving no time to eat properly.

When she was hungry, she'd buy some rice balls or sandwiches from the convenience store.

However, these could only barely meet the basic needs for survival, there was no hope for good flavor, and they were always cold, making the texture even worse, hard and dry.

Before comparing, it was okay, but now, after eating the cold sweet potato shoots Old Wang made, the Female Sorceress recalled her experiences over the past half month, and her eyes suddenly moistened.

However, her chopsticks did not stop, still busily scooping up the sweet potato leaves on the plate, swiftly finishing a plate of cold sweet potato shoots in just two minutes.

Ma Lu had informed Old Wang in advance the guest needed to replenish her magical powers for the upcoming mission to save the world.

Therefore, the plate Old Wang used this time was twice as large as before.

Yet after the Wandering Sorcerer finished, she wiped her mouth, but looked like she hadn't had enough.

Fortunately, the second dish had just arrived.

— Lava Giant Lizard with Sweet Potato Stew.

In this dish, Old Wang not only added sweet potatoes but also included Lava Giant Lizard Meat, which lives near volcanoes and likes to bathe in magma, hence its meat is also rich in fire element.

Additionally, with the angry Sweet Potato Knight's roots, where the fire element is even richer, the combination made this dish's fire element content even higher than the previous cold sweet potato shoots, reaching 32%.

The Female Sorceress ogled the dish, her eyes shining as she murmured, "Incredible, is this the power of the Cosmic Chef, to surpass the limits of the ingredients through cooking?"

After speaking, she couldn't wait to reach out with her chopsticks, grabbing a piece of sweet potato and putting it in her mouth.

Usually, when talking about meat stew, most people first think of potatoes.

However, the potential of sweet potatoes should not be underestimated either.

Compared to potatoes, they have slightly less starch content but more fiber, a softer and stickier texture, and their inherent sweet flavor, when paired with roasted meat, especially fatty roasted meat, produces a marvelous reaction that enhances the meat's flavor and tenderness.

And the sweet potatoes that absorbed the fat become even more delicious. Your journey continues on empire

The Wandering Sorcerer waved her chopsticks, starting a new round of combat!

Just when she was in an intense battle with the giant lizard meat and sweet potato chunks, Ma Lu brought the third dish, this time a staple food.

— Spicy and Sour Sweet Potato Noodles.

Considering the staple food takes up much stomach space, and the Wandering Sorcerer still had a large pot of Lava Giant Lizard and Sweet Potato Stew to finish, Old Wang chose the most appetizing method.

By using vinegar and chili to stimulate the Female Sorceress's taste buds, further opening up her appetite.

Lastly, to conclude, a dish of sweet potato ice cream was served.

When she first sat down in the restaurant, the Wandering Sorcerer was thinking about how to eat as much as possible later to replenish her magic power.

However, now she had completely forgotten about it, for her mouth simply wouldn't stop, having adjusted the waistband of her pants several times already.

Compared to that, how to stop eating was a bigger concern.

Even though she had eaten way more food than usual, her stomach was still signaling her brain to eat more. With such delicious food before her, feeling like skipping even a single bite was a crime!!!
