Another One!

Looking at the bundle full of ingredients in his hand, Jack was at a loss for what to do with them.

In the end, the most eye-catching method he could think of was—

"Come and see, come and see! Delicious ingredients from the dungeon! Absolutely a peerless delicacy you've never tasted before!"

It was to hawk them on the street.

It was the time when adventurers were "getting off work," and the ancient city on the surface of Zane Dungeon was bustling with activity. The streets were extremely noisy, filled with merchants shouting even louder than him, and no one paid him any mind.

"This won't work."

Jack dragged the bundle and squeezed through the street, but he couldn't find a good spot to set up shop among the merchants. In the end, he could only set up a stall in a relatively quiet corner.

If his shouts couldn't attract people, no matter how good the stuff was, he wouldn't be able to sell it. Jack's eyes darted around, and he came up with a good idea.

Thump, thump, boom—

A moment later, he set up a barbecue grill, added plenty of charcoal, and then put on a few Lobster Fish, Snake Frogs, and other strange ingredients. He seasoned them with some readily available spices, and "Old Jack's BBQ Stand" was freshly launched!

"Fortunately, I learned the art of barbecuing when I was young," Jack fanned the flames while feeling grateful for having learned many life skills in his youth.

Late-night snacks should be beer and barbecue, no matter which world it is. Coupled with the fact that the ancient city was currently at its peak pedestrian flow for the day, as long as the stall wasn't too shabby, someone would always take a look. Whether they bought anything was another matter.

"What do you want to eat tonight?" A few adventurers walked by.

"Whatever," "Anything is fine with me."

"Then how about some stewed meat?"

"Forget it, it's too greasy," "The soup from the stewed meat reminds me of the swamp, please don't make me remember."

"Didn't you say 'whatever'! Then what do you want to eat?"

"Whatever," "Anything is fine with me."

"Alright, alright, alright..."

That adventurer was tormented by his companions to the point of not wanting to speak. Suddenly, his nose twitched, and he subconsciously said:

"It smells so good, but I can't tell what it is."

His companions also twitched their noses upon hearing this and echoed, "It smells like barbecue, but, but I can't tell what kind of meat it is."

Their serious expressions confirmed a classic joke:

When you fart, just say "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, one he had perfected while working as a waiter in his youth. "What would you gentlemen like to eat?"

"Boss, what do you sell—" The young adventurer was about to speak when his eyes landed on the things on the grill, and he suddenly fell silent.

"What is this stuff!" he couldn't help but exclaim, attracting the attention of passersby.

Jack looked at the strange things 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, this one is, uh, Tuna Octopus."

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

When you're an adventurer, you always see all sorts of strange monsters, but in reality, monsters evolve naturally, and their appearances follow certain patterns.

But things like Lobster Fish, Snake Frogs, and Bacon Leaves don't look like anything that could form naturally!

If the young man lived on Earth, he'd probably say, "Did this fish mutate after drinking too much nuclear wastewater?"

Unfortunately, he didn't, and after a long pause, he finally managed to blurt out, "Can this even taste good?"

His companions stared at him in shock, thinking, This isn't about whether it tastes good or not. These things look like the experimental products of a deranged alchemist! You can't eat them!

"How about you pick one to try," Jack noticed the growing crowd around him and raised his voice, "These are specialties of Zane Dungeon, you can't get them anywhere else!"

Dungeon specialties?!

So they came from Zane Dungeon, no wonder they're strange.

Everyone had this thought because ever since Zane Dungeon underwent its transformation, the monsters inside have become unrecognizable. Even professional monster experts are stumped.

"Zane Dungeon produces strange creatures" has recently become a consensus among adventurers.

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

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

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

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

"So salty!" the young man exclaimed, but after chewing carefully, his eyes lit up. "What a unique texture, it's like eating high-quality beef, but it also has the crispness and unique fibrous feel of a plant. The charcoal grilling is just right, and also, this saltiness is from the meat, no, the leaf itself, right? It relieves the greasiness and stimulates the taste buds at the same time."

He excitedly gave a thumbs up. "I give it full marks!"

When did you become so eloquent?! His companions stared at him in even greater shock.

"Give me a piece, no, three pieces, no, five pieces!" The young man pointed around the grill. "That one, and that one too, I want to try them all, Boss, calculate the price!"

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

Only then did the young man realize 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 "Fierce" Tel from the Strategy Group, a Silver Rank adventurer!

In the past, when meeting a Silver Rank senior, the young man would be quite respectful, but this time, facing delicious food, he was tough for once and said, "I've already reserved five Bacon Leaves, go buy something else!"

"Hey, you kid," Tel glared at him and said to Jack, "Old man, cough cough, sir, please give me a Lobster Fish,"

"Here," Jack broke down the grilled Lobster Fish, sprinkled some salt on it, and handed it to Tel.

The white fish meat had a fragrant aroma, not much grease, but just enough to make the surface shiny. After sprinkling salt, it looked quite beautiful. The two claws were cut in half and drizzled with a layer of melted cheese. Jack also thoughtfully provided a small thumb-sized box of butter as a dipping sauce.

Tel opened his large mouth and swallowed the slippery fish meat in one gulp. Then he picked up the tender white claw meat, dipped the stringy cheese in the butter, and "slurped" it all down.

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

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

Although he deliberately frowned, anyone with a discerning eye could see the cunning in his eyes.

So everyone stopped holding back!

"Give me a Lobster Fish!"

"I want the octopus legs from the Tuna Octopus!"

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

"Bacon Leaf, I want Bacon Leaf!"

"Get lost, I reserved that!"

Jack was beaming.
