Chapter 705 More than Just Demon Hunters
Yagyu Sheng was indeed biased against aliens, but at least he was right about one thing: the people around Hao Ren were free and loose enough, and opening a store was just a mess. Don't talk about Lily, the brothers and sisters on May 38 are not very reliable. Elizabeth is a purebred naughty child, and her father can't help. Nangong and his wife work hard, but unfortunately they are too busy. After a lot of confusion, in the end, only Vivian was left, who was somewhat reliable, but unfortunately she could only cook in the back kitchen: everyone was afraid that if she touched the money, Nangong and his wife would lose all their money...
Anyway, after asking a bunch of monsters to help open the restaurant, Hao Ren didn't expect much from the beginning. He didn't even expect the restaurant to really make money. He supports Nangong and his wife in opening this restaurant mainly so that they can have something to do. As for the rest of the family, they can come over and help when they have nothing to do, but most of the time they must be busy with their own affairs - at least Hao Renchengtian When you go on a business trip to various worlds, you have to take a few underlings with you at any time.
As for the store, although it is very busy today, once Nangong and his wife get familiar with the work here, and with the help of their son and daughter, there should be no problem.
But no matter what, looking at the hustle and bustle in the store, Hao Ren couldn't help but wonder what this small restaurant would develop into in the future...
The busiest time at noon has finally passed, and the number of diners has gradually decreased. Lily and Nangong Wuyue are waiting at the door to see off the guests, and the two girls have bright faces with joy. Sixty to seventy percent of the people who came to support us today were acquaintances of the neighbors, all of whom Lily had informed about yesterday, so it was natural to give them a good sendoff at this time.
The southern suburbs is such a small place the size of a palm. It was originally just a small urban area, but now there is less than half of the population left. When I usually go out and go in, most of the people I see are acquaintances. The first person I meet when I open a shop here to sell things is The difficulty is "acquaintance business", but luckily everyone here is used to this situation. It is normal for the Zhang family to go to the Li family to buy a pack of cigarettes, and the Zhao family to buy furniture from the Liu family.
Lily had already entered the state completely, and now she stood on tiptoe at the door and said, "Come back tomorrow! Lao Zhang! Bring your Maomao with you tomorrow~~"
Hao Ren listened and rolled his eyes: "Nonsense, has anyone brought a dog to a restaurant?"
Vivian wiped her hands on her apron and came from behind: "There are people who lead dogs to save the world. Why can't they lead dogs to restaurants?"
Lily thought for a while and then became furious: "Bat, you took advantage of me again!"
When some neighbors were leaving the store, they even dragged Nangong Wudi to give him advice: "Your family is very good at cooking. I will come again next time, but next time you have to make the menu better. Don't leave out the dishes that you can't cook." Just write it up..."
Some people also came to Hao Ren for advice: "Hao boy, I think you can help out in this restaurant from now on. Don't go out to other places all day long. You said you rent such a big house here, so you can rest assured that you will be away from home all day long." ah?"
Someone also gave Yitzhaks some advice: "Daquan... In such a small restaurant, there is no need for security guards, right?"
When everyone was about to leave, Nangong Sanba started to settle the accounts with the money box. He took a quick look and knew that he didn't actually earn much: "Well... I got my money back, but I can't earn much. It's not just a matter of discounts... …Mainly what is sold is cheap stuff.”
"Nonsense, a bunch of old men and women are willing to eat as much as they want," Nangong Wuyue rolled his eyes, "Only peanuts are sold, and the old men can drink tea for half an hour after ordering a plate of peanuts. I think our family The ultimate form of this restaurant should be an activity center for the elderly."
There are few young people in the southern suburbs. Most people have moved to the city or are working in the city. Almost two-thirds of those who remain are elderly. It looked really lively at noon today, but to be honest, the only ones sold were cheap side dishes, and the pot of braised pork ribs in the back kitchen was bottomed out, and it was still eaten by Lily. However, Nangong Wudi is open-minded: "Let's make as much or as little as we want. Anyway, we're not here to get rich. We're just looking for something to do."
Elsa also nodded repeatedly beside her, and Hao Ren felt relieved when he saw this situation: As long as these two are happy.
At this time, a voice that had been forgotten for a long time finally sounded from the corner: "Everyone, are you all done? Is it our turn?"
Hao Ren looked up and was surprised: "Yu Sheng? You two haven't left yet?"
Yagyu held a piece of cucumber between his chopsticks and froze in the air: "Didn't you make us wait?"
Hao Ren slapped his head: "Oh, I forgot. Let's all tidy up and discuss business matters."
Yagyu held up a rune card: "Do you mind if I block your guests for a while? If we want to talk about business, it's best to be quiet."
Hao Ren stepped forward and took the card and handed it to Lily: "Go and stick it on the door. No one will be allowed in for the time being."
A circle of people put the two tables together. After everyone sat down, Hao Ren first pointed at the two demon hunters and introduced them to Nangong and his wife: "You have never met, let me introduce you. This is Yagyu, a senior demon hunter. This is It’s Zhao Xi, Yagyu’s apprentice. The two of them are the heads of the demon hunting organization in this city. But they are considered friends at the moment.”
A strange look flashed across Nangong Wudi's face, but he did not show any more emotion after seeing the expressions on the faces of others around him, and Hao Ren also introduced the couple: "Nangong Wudi, former demon hunter, Ai Erza, the Siren.”
Liu Sheng and Zhao Xi stared at this magical combination, but after all, they had experienced the experience of Raven 12345, and they finally accepted the amount of information. Yagyu shook his head and said with a smile: "The composition of your personnel... is getting more and more chaotic."
"Without further ado, let's talk about the issue of the disappearance of the hunting instinct..."
The two demon hunters immediately explained the disappearance of the hunting instinct and possible situations among the demon hunters. After they finished speaking, everyone fell into silence. Hao Ren glanced at Nangong Wudi: "You have the hunting instinct. What?"
"I've had it before, but it was very weak from the beginning," Nangong Wudi said frankly. This was also the first time he mentioned his hunting instinct in such detail in front of his heterosexual friends. "Demon hunters are deeply affected by their bloodline." We are a race, and we also have a lot of acquired training to strengthen the power of blood. I was not one with strong blood ability from the beginning, and the training I received after birth was not complete... so the hunting instinct was not stimulated too much."
"That is to say, at least it has happened before, right? But because you are very weak, it is very easy for you to suppress it with your reason." Vivian touched her chin, "Then can you still feel the hunting instinct now?"
"I haven't been back for a hundred years," Nangong Wudi said helplessly, "It's like covering a person's eyes for a hundred years. This ability has completely degraded. Anyway, I don't have any hostility when I'm with other people. , but I’m not sure whether it has degenerated in the past hundred years or whether it has just faded away like these two.”
Vivian hummed and shook her head slightly: "It seems that yours cannot be used as an example and is not representative. It would be great if we could contact Bai Huo. She should have more detailed information."
"But do you think she can tell us?" Hao Ren waved his hand, "Rather than this, I would rather you contact Hesiana."
Vivian frowned slightly: "Hesiana?"
"To put it bluntly, the hunting instinct of a demon hunter is the same thing as the innate hostility between aliens." Hao Ren nodded, "If the 'instinct decline' in Liu Sheng and Zhao Xi is not a special case of them, then I'm afraid it is not. It's not just a special case of the witcher race. When I was in the Athens Sanctuary, I heard a vampire say that there are also signs of easing of relations between the younger generation of alien races - this is similar to the new generation of witchers. It’s very similar to how the hunting instinct weakens from generation to generation.”
"Now the hunting instinct of demon hunters has completely disappeared, so you suspect that the same is true in the alien circle?" Vivian frowned and took out her mobile phone from her arms, "To be honest... I really don't want to take the initiative. I'll be annoyed to death every time I talk to that naughty kid on the phone."
Hao Ren also knew about Hesiana's magical skills, but he could only laugh twice: "No way, we don't know other shelters for aliens, so we can only trouble you."
While Vivian was on the phone, Yagyu quickly asked: "The white fire you just mentioned...is it the white fire of the demon hunter?"
The words that the other party suddenly said were a bit unclear, but Hao Ren knew what they meant: "Who else could it be? That white-haired girl who uses holy flames to burn people as if they were eating and drinking."
Even Zhao Xi, who always has a dead face, was surprised: "You even dragged her into the water?!"
Hao Ren: "...What do you mean by pulling the strings? Besides, we have only met a few times. She is different from you."
After a while, Vivian put down the phone and looked at Hao Ren: "You guessed it - there are also aliens in the Athens asylum whose hostile instincts suddenly disappeared."
