Traveling through various miniature worlds with a small restaurant

Chapter 178 The Beastman World 15

Leo returned to the palace and immediately began an online conversation with the commanders of the various military regions.

The moment Xiong Kuan appeared, Leo immediately asked, "Xiong Kuan, what happened? Why did you go to the headquarters of the Interstellar Alliance?"

Xiong Kuan scratched his head with his thick palm and chuckled, "Your Majesty, I'm just going to take a look around the Interstellar Alliance headquarters and gather some information."

Then he glared at his two round bear eyes and said, "Your Majesty, you saw it, right? The interstellar headquarters was blown to pieces. I heard that Putsi was in the headquarters. Now he's probably become space junk along with that spaceship, hahaha."

The other commanders were also pleased, saying that Putsi, that bastard, deserved it.

Leo naturally didn't believe him, but since Xiong Kuan was alright, he didn't want to dwell on the matter any longer. So he asked another question: "You said that a mysterious person appeared on the planet Mora, leading the local faction to defeat those secretly supported by the Interstellar Alliance?"

Upon hearing this, Xiong Kuan's expression immediately turned serious, and he nodded: "That's right, Your Majesty. According to reliable sources, this mysterious person appeared out of nowhere, yet possesses extraordinary wisdom and immense power. He used some unknown method to quickly gather the previously disorganized local forces of Planet Mora, and in just a few days, he completely overthrew the puppet regime that the Interstellar Alliance had supported for many years. Moreover, some of the weapons they used in the battle were ones we had never seen before."

Leo frowned even more, tapping his fingers lightly on the table. After a moment of contemplation, he asked, "Have you found out anything about this mysterious person's background? Where does he come from? Is he backed by any other forces?"

Xiong Kuan shook his head, looking helpless, and said, "There are no definite clues yet. Some say he is the savior of Planet Mora, while others say he is an exile from a distant star system, but none of these can be confirmed. However, one thing is certain: his appearance has disrupted the original order of Planet Mora and has also significantly reduced the influence of the Interstellar Alliance in that region."

Upon hearing this, the Eagle Clan chieftain spoke up: "Your Majesty, our clan's intelligence personnel are most skilled at concealing their tracks and gathering intelligence. Should we send some Eagle Clan intelligence personnel to the planet Mora to gather information?"

After a moment of silence, Leo shook his head slightly and said, "The situation on Planet Mora is complicated right now, and that mysterious person is so enigmatic. A slight misstep could expose their identity and cause unnecessary trouble. The orcs never participate in the conflicts of other planets, so there's no need to send anyone to gather information; just keep an eye on them from time to time. However, the setback of the Interstellar Alliance is good news for the orcs; they should be too preoccupied to pay attention to us now."

All the commanders became excited when this was mentioned.

"Absolutely! It's absolutely gratifying!"

"This is the first time in years that the Interstellar Alliance has suffered a setback!"

"I don't know who's so brave, I really want to be his friend!"

"I wonder if he's going to take over other branches of the Interstellar Alliance. I'd like to go with him!"

The commanders became increasingly excited as they spoke, and Leo had to interrupt them.

"Alright, have you calmed down all the frenzied orcs in your respective districts?"

"Speaking of which, thanks to that stinky tofu video, it seems to really work on berserk orcs. Your Majesty, what exactly is that stinky stuff made of? Can it be mass-produced and consumed directly?" the wolf chieftain asked curiously.

Leo explained, "The calming effect comes from a spice that was brought over by chefs from several other star systems. I have bought all the spices they had, but I don't know exactly which one it is yet. I have handed it over to the Royal Medical Academy for research, and I believe the results will be available soon."

"That's wonderful!" The commanders were delighted to hear the news.

"Truly, the heavens have blessed our orc race!"

"That's right! Just as there are mysterious figures helping us on Planet Mora, we orcs also have benefactors!"

Leo didn't say much about Lin Xiaoqian and the others. After instructing the leaders to appease the people in their respective districts, he ended the online meeting.

Lin Xiaoqian and the others took turns sending messages to Mo Ying, but they all seemed to sink without a trace, receiving no response whatsoever.

Lin Xiaoqian asked with some concern, "Is Mo Ying alright? Will he be able to make it back before we return to our original world?"

Liao Zhuang reassured him, "Mo Ying is so capable, what could possibly happen to him? He'll definitely be back on time, so don't worry."

The next day, as soon as Lin Xiaoqian opened the shop door, she saw Manager Feng waiting outside.

Looking at the sun outside, she greeted him, "Manager Feng, you've come so early! Please come in."

Manager Feng smiled appropriately. "I just arrived too. Have Chef Lin and your companions finished getting ready?"

Lin Xiaoqian nodded: "They're almost done."

Steward Feng nodded slightly: "Then I won't go in."

"Alright then, I'll go in and call them."

Lin Xiaoqian turned to go into the store, but heard someone calling her from nearby.

"Chef Lin!"

Lin Xiaoqian looked up and saw Aunt Zhan, who runs a cake shop next door, walking over with several bags of things.

Aunt Zhan quickly walked up to Lin Xiaoqian, her face full of gratitude, and said, "Chef Lin, thank you so much!"

Lin Xiaoqian was completely baffled, not knowing what he had done to make Aunt Zhan so agitated.

Fortunately, Aunt Zhan quickly explained the reason: "The day before yesterday, there was an orc riot on the street. A frenzied orc broke into our shop. Thanks to the spices you gave my old man, the orc was quickly calmed down. Otherwise, my old man and I, with our old bones, would not have been able to withstand the attack of the frenzied orc."

Aunt Zhan's voice was filled with lingering fear as she spoke, and she sincerely said, "This is a small token of our appreciation, you must accept it." As she spoke, she stuffed the packages in her hand into Lin Xiaoqian's hands.

Lin Xiaoqian then realized that the real remedy for the orcs was cumin.

"Aunt Zhan, you're too kind. We didn't know cumin had such a great effect at first. But we're glad you weren't injured."

Aunt Zhan quickly said, "Chef Lin, the spices you gave us saved my husband and me's lives no matter what. This is just a small token of our appreciation. Please accept it, otherwise we'll feel bad about it."

Seeing that Aunt Zhan insisted, Lin Xiaoqian had no choice but to accept it, saying, "Alright then, Aunt Zhan, thank you."

Suddenly, Steward Feng, who was standing nearby, spoke up: "Excuse me, may I disturb you two for a moment?"

He said to Aunt James with a serious expression, "Madam, are you saying that your partner already knows which spice can soothe the orcs?"

Aunt Zhan then realized that there was a palace eunuch standing next to her.

Perhaps because Steward Feng's expression was too serious, Aunt Zhan was a little nervous and stammered, "Ah... I guess... right."

Chief Steward Feng hadn't expected that someone would find the spices that had a calming effect on the orcs before the Royal Medical Academy. He was anxious to report this to the King.

So he said to Aunt Zhan, "Where is your partner? I need to take him to the palace."

Aunt Zhan's expression suddenly became a little strange, and then she said helplessly, "Although we were not injured by the frenzied orcs that day, the old man was too excited after calming the orcs down with spices, and he accidentally twisted his back. It's difficult for him to move even a little bit, and he's resting at home now."

She looked at Lin Xiaoqian sincerely and said, "Otherwise, he would have come to thank Chef Lin in person."
