One More!

With his bag full of ingredients, Jack didn't know what to do with it all at first.

In the end, the most attention-grabbing method he could think of was—

"Come one, come all, taste the delicious ingredients from the Dungeon! Absolutely exquisite dishes you've never tried before!"

He decided to hawk his wares on the street.

It was just as Adventurers were "getting off work," and the ancient city on the surface of Sain Underground City was bustling with activity. The streets were incredibly noisy, filled with merchants hawking their goods even more energetically than he was, and nobody paid him any mind.

"This isn't working…"

Jack weaved through the crowds with his bag, but he couldn't find a good spot to set up shop among the merchants. In the end, he could only set up his stall in a relatively quiet street corner.

His shouting wasn't attracting anyone, and no matter how good his products were, they wouldn't sell. Jack's eyes darted around as he thought of a good idea.

Ding, ding, dong—

A moment later, he had set up a barbecue grill, loaded it with plenty of charcoal, and placed a few Lobster Fish, Snake Frogs, and other strange ingredients on it. He seasoned them with readily available spices, and "Old Jack's BBQ" was ready for business!

"Good thing I learned to barbecue when I was young," Jack said, fanning himself and feeling fortunate that he had learned many life skills in his youth.

Late-night snacks called for beer and barbecue, no matter the world. Plus, the ancient city was currently at its peak traffic for the day. As long as the stall wasn't too shabby, someone would eventually take a look, whether they bought anything was another matter.

"What do you guys want to eat tonight?" a few Adventurers walked by.

"Anything," "I'm good with anything,"

"How about some stew?"

"Nah, too greasy," "The broth from stew reminds me of the swamp, please don't make me remember that."

"Didn't you guys say anything goes! Then what do you want to eat?"

"Anything," "I'm good with anything,"

"Fine, fine, fine."

The Adventurer, tormented by his companions, didn't want to speak anymore. Suddenly, his nose twitched, and he spoke subconsciously, "That smells good, but I can't tell what it is."

His companions sniffed the air as well and agreed, "It smells like grilled meat, but… but I can't tell what kind of meat it is."

Their serious expressions actually proved a classic joke:

When you fart, all you have to say is "What's that smell?" and others will greedily inhale your fart.

"Over there, that barbecue stall!"

Seeing customers approaching, Jack put on a professional smile, a skill honed from his part-time job as a waiter in his youth. "What would you gentlemen like to order?"

"Boss, what are you selling—" the young Adventurer started to ask, but his voice caught in his throat as his eyes landed on the items on the grill.

"What is this stuff!" he exclaimed involuntarily, drawing the attention of passersby.

Jack looked at the strange and unusual items on the grill, paused for a moment, and calmly introduced them one by one: "This is Lobster Fish, this is Snake Frog, this is Bacon Leaf, and this one is, uh, Tuna Octopus."

"What?" The young man understood each word, but still didn't comprehend.

Being an Adventurer meant encountering many strange Monsters, but Monsters were actually a product of natural evolution, and their appearances followed certain patterns.

However, Lobster Fish, Snake Frogs, and Bacon Leaves didn't look like things that could form naturally!

If the young man lived on Earth, he probably would have said, "Did this fish drink too much nuclear wastewater and mutate?"

But he wasn't from Earth. After struggling for a long time, he finally managed to blurt out, "Can this even be tasty?"

His companions looked at him in shock, thinking, This isn't about whether it's tasty or not. These things look like the experimental products of a mad alchemist! They can't be edible!

"Why don't you pick one and try it?" Jack noticed the growing crowd around him and raised his voice. "These are specialties of Sain Underground City, you can't find them anywhere else!"

Dungeon specialties!?

So they were from Sain Underground City, that made sense.

Everyone had this thought because after the anomaly, the Monsters inside the Sain Underground City had taken on unfamiliar appearances. Even professional Monster experts would be stumped.

"Sain Underground City produces strange creatures" had recently become a consensus among Adventurers.

"Then, I'll have a piece of this," the first young man chose the Bacon Leaf, which looked the most normal.

It was a thick, yellowish-green leaf, but its exterior resembled beef with a high fat content. As it grilled over the charcoal, oil dripped down, making it look much more appealing than the Lobster Fish or other items.

"Here," Jack cut off a small piece and handed it to him, without any extra seasoning, letting him taste its original flavor.

The young man hesitated for a moment before putting it in his mouth.

"So salty!" he exclaimed, but as he chewed carefully, his eyes lit up. "Such a unique texture, like eating high-quality beef, but it also has the crispness of a plant and a unique fibrous feel. The charcoal grilling is also just right. And, this saltiness comes from the meat, no, the leaf itself, right? It eases the greasiness and stimulates the taste buds."

He excitedly gave a thumbs-up. "I give it a perfect score!"

When did you become so eloquent!? His companion looked at him even more shocked.

"Give me one slice, no, three slices, no, five slices!" The young man pointed at various items on the grill. "That one, and that one, I want to try them all! Boss, calculate the bill!"

"No rush, no rush. If you order so much, how will others eat?" Jack chuckled and pointed behind him.

The young man then noticed that a crowd had gathered behind him at some point, all watching!

"Hey, kid, is it really that good?" a burly man swallowed hard. The young man recognized him; it was Tel, the "Gutsy" one from the exploration team, a Silver-rank adventurer!

Normally, when encountering a Silver-rank senior, the young man would have been quite respectful. But this time, faced with delicious food, he stood his ground and said, "I've already reserved five Bacon Leaves, go buy something else!"

"Hey, you brat," Tel glared at him, then turned to Jack and said, "Old man, cough cough, sir, please give me one Lobster Fish."

"Here you go," Jack broke down the roasted Lobster Fish, sprinkled it with salt, and handed it to Tel.

The pristine white fish meat exuded a delicate aroma. It wasn't greasy, but just enough to make the surface glisten. After sprinkling with salt, it looked beautiful. The two claws were cut in half and drizzled with melted cheese. Jack also thoughtfully provided a thumb-sized box of butter as a dipping sauce.

Tel opened his mouth wide and swallowed the smooth fish meat in one gulp. Then he picked up the tender white claw meat, dipped it in the stringy cheese, and with a slurp, finished it all.

Everyone was observing his reaction. After all, he was a Silver-rank adventurer, and everyone trusted his judgment.

"Hmm," swallowing the last bite, Tel pondered for a moment and said, "I couldn't taste anything, give me another one."

Although he deliberately frowned, anyone with sharp eyes could see the slyness in his gaze.

So, no one could hold back any longer!

"Give me a Lobster Fish!"

"I want a Tuna Octopus leg!"

"Don't listen to that picky guy, sell me the whole Tuna Octopus!"

"Bacon Leaves, I want Bacon Leaves!"

"Get lost, I reserved those!"

Jack was beaming with joy.
