Universe Infinite Canteen

Motti and the four members from the Earth Autonomy Management Committee made small talk, then took their seats along with the others, as the young man named Jiya returned.

"Mom, I only found one of your gloves, under Dr. Diego's bed, but I couldn't find the other one even after searching the entire spaceship."

As he blurted this out, the restaurant suddenly fell silent.

Ma Lu saw a man with a refined scholarly appearance and a slightly bald head, who was wearing a sweater and sweating profusely.

On the other hand, the other involved party, Dalia, remained composed and smiled slightly, "Oh, it might have been taken by the cleaning robot. If it's lost, then let it be, come sit here."

She patted the empty seat next to her, and Jiya immediately plopped down, but it wasn't long before he started complaining again.

"What good food can there be in this godforsaken place? I'd say we're better off staying on the spaceship and eating dinner made by Chef Bals."

"Don't say that, Chef Bals is indeed a very fine chef, but still falls short of the Cosmic Chef.

"Last year, he prepared for an entire year to be promoted to Cosmic Chef but unfortunately, he was defeated by two other contestants and didn't become the Cosmic Chef, whereas this restaurant reportedly has a legitimate Cosmic Chef according to President Yi Yi."

"Even with a Cosmic Chef, in such a backwater place without proper ingredients, what good can they really do?"

The Black Mountain Goat finally couldn't restrain itself, "If you don't want to eat, then don't. That'll save us some hospitality expenses."

"Mom, dad, he's making fun of me again! Let Captain Niao obliterate this place," Jiya turned to look at Motti and Dalia, feeling aggrieved, "I already said, there's nothing good about this darn place."

After speaking, he looked at the Mediterranean-looking man again, "Dr. Diego, you should also persuade my mom. You know she usually listens to you the most."

Dr. Diego, who was strategically drinking water, almost spat it out through his nose at these words.

The moment Jiya dropped that bombshell he already wanted to vanish into thin air, and just as the topic was finally shifted away, he hadn't even caught his breath when he heard his name being linked to Dalia, making Dr. Diego want to curse out loud.

He now only hoped that Jiya would forget about him, but the latter persistently did not give up.

"Dr. Diego, you are the chief scientific advisor to the Council, we really value your opinion. Come, share your thoughts, scientifically speaking, the food here just isn't up to standard."

"Um… I guess so." Dr. Diego stammered awkwardly.

"Mom, see, even Dr. Diego agrees, we should listen to the expert, you should also persuade dad."

Even Dalia, with all her composure, was having a hard time handling her son's relentless attacks. The smile on her face stiffened, thankfully Motti finally spoke up at this moment.

"I've heard an old saying in this Plane, 'Since we have come, let us settle.' Since we're here, let's follow the host's arrangements."

Hearing his father speak, Jiya finally stopped making a fuss. However, in his heart, he was determined; if the food here wasn't good, he would definitely call Chef Bals over to show these country folks what real food tastes like.

Despite some minor commotions, everyone eventually sat down at the dining table.

Ma Youyou went over and poured Cat Pee Beer for each of them in turn.

Dr. Diego looked at the pale yellow brew in front of him, sneered disdainfully, took a small sip from the cup, but his expression changed the next moment.

Because the somewhat questionable murky liquid turned out to be much tastier than he had anticipated.

Jiya, being the sole child of the President of the Grand Alliance Council and the Finance Minister, and also the youngest council member of the Grand Alliance, had tasted thousands of fine wines; his palate was very discerning, and there weren't many beverages in the Multiverse that gained his approval.

The beer he just drank can't be called the best he's ever had; the first sip was just passable.

But how should I put it, it was indeed very special, with a hint of... wildness and nature.

Jiya then lifted his glass again for another sip, this time he didn't hurry to swallow it, savoring it carefully on the tip of his tongue.

From the aftertaste, he discerned bits of middle age's weathering and fatigue. Through the golden brew, he seemed to see a degraded figure, smoking, drinking, and perming his hair.

Without a doubt, this was a beer with a story.

Jiya ended up finishing it without realizing it, and although he was reluctant to admit it, the beer seemed to indeed have something to it.

Just then, Ma Youyou brought over the first dish.

It was crispy-skinned squab, with a crusty skin that radiated an appealing rosy hue.

However, the size of the squab on the plate was even larger than a full-grown goose, and it also had six legs, a boon for those who love eating legs.

"Hmm?"

Upon the dish being served, Jiya was originally planning to laugh out loud, but his expression turned to one of doubtful surprise at the sight of the squab.

"Is this... the Divine Land Spot Pigeon? No, the Divine Land Spot Pigeon is a 5-star ingredient, it's not from this Plane at all, this must be a fake with extra legs added artificially, don't think you can deceive me!"

After saying that, he grabbed a piece, popped it into his mouth, and his expression instantly turned spectacular.

"How is it?" Vice Speaker Gusta asked from the side.

"Hmm... this taste, it does seem like the Divine Giant Dotted Pigeon, and the crispy skin is quite delicious as well."

Hearing Jiya say this, the others no longer held back and began picking up their utensils, tasting the crispy-skinned squab before them.

They were all curious about what kind of flavors this small restaurant, located in a remote Plane within The Grand Alliance's blockade zone, could produce.

After tasting, many couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Now I believe this restaurant really hides a Cosmic Chef."

"What's more amazing is that we can still eat high-tier ingredients here, were they smuggled in? But that would make the dishes quite expensive."

"I thought coming here I would have to endure mediocre food from now on, but this has put my mind at ease."

"I want to get a premium membership card for this place, and come to eat every day."

"......"

Motti also heard the high praise from his companions, but he didn't rush to pick up his chopsticks because there were still some matters not yet settled, it wasn't time to enjoy yet.

And his wife, the absent-minded scientific advisor, and the four small animals from the Earth Autonomy Management Committee also hadn't started eating.

The wombat and Lu Hua Chicken, Black Mountain Goat and kangaroo exchanged glances, then President Yi Yi lifted his glass.

"I wonder why Councilman Motti and the distinguished guests have suddenly come to Earth?"
