Infinite Cafetaria

Chapter 246: Your forever good friend

Diners who came in for dinner today all noticed the Gemile 3111 Cavalier coffee machine next to the counter.

So he excitedly asked Ma Lu if the Universe Infinite Canteen was going to launch coffee. When the person involved denied it, he couldn't help but look disappointed.

In addition, there are no less than a dozen people coming to him every day to ask when the cat urine beer will be available, which also made Ma Lu realize that although he put soup on the menu, everyone still has a strong demand for drinks.

So he could only promise to put the cat urine beer on the shelves as soon as possible.

However, although Cat Piss Beer is delicious, it can only satisfy a small number of people even if Mr. Hairball urinates and bleeds with the current daily customer flow of Universe Infinite Canteen.

Not to mention that it has to be supplied to those visitors from another dimension. For tonight’s BBQ party, Malu has been saving cat urine beer for almost a week.

He is thinking that it may be time to develop some new drinks, but this will have to wait until the activated plants in the tabletop farm grow longer.

 …

Once people get busy, time always flies by very quickly.

　　The camera then jumps to a mouse wearing trousers and boots, whistling and sailing a boat.

 along with He Xiaoqian and three part-time students had a staff meal, took a short rest, and opened the door to work again at 4 p.m.

So he clicked on the upload URL, and then jumped to a video on Station B.

 Until the last guest was sent away at 7:49 pm, the three part-time students returned to school one after another, and He Xiaoqian also left after cleaning.

 Not long after they returned to the store, tonight’s guest finally showed up.

Ma Lu pulled down the newly installed curtains and blocked all the windows in the store.

The way he came on stage was very special. Malu received a text message. The text message was a series of URL links, followed by a signature - your forever good friend.

Yesterday he said he wanted to attend a bachelor party, but Ma Lu couldn't find him, and there happened to be a BBQ party in the store tonight. They were all parties, so it should be about the same.

 The animation begins with a steamboat traveling on a river. The boat has a whistle, a chimney that emits black smoke, and an exaggerated wooden runner.

Ma Lu knew this name, he was the person who ordered the meal this time.

 At this time, the time came to 8:30 pm.

 Ma Lu opens for business at 11 am and only closes for an hour and a half from 3 pm to 4:30 pm.

Seeing that he still had some time, he first went to see Zhen Ye and brought her dinner, then he went to Mr. Mao Tuan’s residence and picked up the latter.

Ma Lu looked at the duration and saw that it was only more than seven minutes.

It was a cartoon, but it looked very old. Compared with today’s cartoons, both the resolution and the number of frames were obviously insufficient.

 Although Mr. Mao Tuan repeatedly stated that he was fine, Malu decided to take him out to relax.

Although the image of the mouse is a little different from what everyone knows now, this is because the company behind it has been fine-tuning its appearance over the years in an attempt to make it more cute and popular.

 But Malu recognized it immediately.

 There is no way, mainly because it is too famous. Some people may not know who the current Secretary-General of the United Nations is, but they can definitely call it by name. —Mickey, he sounded the whistle, and then suddenly winked mischievously at the millipede outside the screen.

Just when Malu felt a little stunned, the most famous mouse in the world extended a hand outside the screen, then grabbed the frame of his phone and jumped out of the animation.

Mr. Hairball's eyes widened when he witnessed this scene, and he cursed like a kitten.

“Meow meow meow? Did I drink too much in the afternoon? I just saw a cartoon character coming out of your phone!!”

“Oh, a talking cat, are you the boss here?” The round-eared cartoon mouse stretched out his hand, “Nice to meet you.”

 After speaking, he looked at Malu again, "And you must be the legendary space chef."

"Well…"

“I’m just kidding.” After saying this, the cartoon mouse covered his stomach and laughed. When he laughed, his whole body shook with it, and his two thin legs swayed on the ground like a tap dance.

"I know you, you are the boss. Yanwu mentioned you to me, saying that you are a native of this plane." After the cartoon mouse finished laughing, he stretched out his hand to shake Ma Lu.

The touch of its palm is a bit strange, like holding a sponge or grabbing a piece of soap.

“As for you, my dear friend, you must be the new Space Chef!” It said while looking at Mr. Hairball again.

"I'm not," the Ragdoll cat shook his head, "I'm just a middle-aged cat with nothing."

“Oh, don’t be discouraged, my friend, no matter you are rich or penniless, there is at least one thing that everyone can have.” The cartoon mouse patted Mr. Hairball on the shoulder to comfort him.

 “Death?”

“No, of course not, it’s happiness. I can make you happy. If you don’t believe it, just look at it.” The cartoon mouse twisted his body and sang with exaggerated steps as he spoke.

“We walked on the boulevard laughing and laughing, it was a wonderful day, we were jumping around all day ~ everything was as sweet as marshmallows ~”

　　After finishing speaking, he took out a marshmallow from where he didn't know and handed it over, "This will be regarded as our meeting gift."

Mr. Hairball didn’t answer, “…Ever since I learned how to download cat movies by myself when I was 8 years old, I’ve never watched cartoons again.”

“What a shame,” said the cartoon mouse. “You remind me of a friend of mine who is coming over tonight. You should talk to him more, because he is as unhappy as you.”

 “I’m not unhappy, I’m just keeping a clear head about life.”

“Is that friend you are talking about Donald Duck?” Ma Lu asked curiously, “So you are all real? You were not created by Walt Disney.”

 After speaking, he said to the Ragdoll Cat on the side, "Now I'm beginning to think that it makes sense for you to say that Madoka Shikama and Homura Akatsuki are the masterminds behind all this."

"Of course we are real." said the cartoon mouse, "but at the same time we also have creators. This is not contradictory. It may be a bit complicated to explain. Something happened in the universe we lived in before, so we decided to move to Come and settle here.”

 “When did you move here?”

“About 70 years ago,” the cartoon mouse recalled. “Although it’s not as good as Yanwu Zao, we did live here for a while and brought a lot of laughter to the world.”
