Universe Infinite Canteen

The cartoon mouse looked around, "Wow, what a beautiful little restaurant, but it seems like something is missing," it snapped its fingers, "I know what's missing—the party atmosphere."

Having said that, it took out a string of triangular flags from its own trouser pocket and walked along the wall to the ceiling, hanging that string of triangular flags under the stunned gazes of Ma Lu and Mr. Furball.

Then it took out a bunch of balloons and began blowing them up. After taking a deep breath, it blew forcefully at one of the balloons, which quickly inflated. However, before the cartoon mouse could rejoice, the air from the balloon rushed back into its body.

Now it was its body that expanded like a balloon, floating in the air.

At this moment, another voice reached Ma Lu's ears.

"Don't panic, I'm coming to help you! Mickey." After that, two more figures jumped out of Ma Lu's cell phone.

One of the women was tall and slim with a round head, wearing a white-collar, lace-edged red top, matched with a blue-purple long skirt, and a pair of brownish-yellow long boots.

Standing beside her was a man who was shorter than her, dressed in a sailor's outfit, with unusually strong forearms tattooed with an anchor, and it was he who had spoken the previous sentence.

The sailor seized the cartoon mouse's tail and pulled it down from the air, then turned to Ma Lu, and asked in a raspy voice, "Boss, do you have any toothpicks?"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Ma Lu handed over a box of toothpicks, and the sailor took one out, pricked the cartoon mouse's behind with it to release the air, and soon its originally plump body returned to normal.

The cartoon mouse wiped the sweat from its face, "That was really scary, thank you, Poppy. I'm glad you came, oh, and you, the beautiful Miss Oliver."

"Are you decorating for tonight's party? We will help too," said the woman with the round head. "Use our flags and balloons; ours are colorful."

"Sure," said the cartoon mouse. "Then I'll call for some more help. Together, we can get this done faster."

Having said that, it took out a black hole from its trouser pocket and threw it onto the wall.

The next moment, a crowd of cartoon characters jumped out of the black hole, all familiar faces from Ma Lu's childhood.

Including three monks, a pair of brothers wearing only shorts, a black cat in police uniform, an ancient-styled girl with a foxy air about her, a little boy with a wacky hairdo and rocket shoes, and a group of Blue Elves...

They all joined Mickey in decorating the restaurant.

5 minutes later, Ma Lu felt as though he had entered a cartoon world.

The restaurant was still the same restaurant, but its surroundings had completely transformed.

Beyond the regular decorations like balloons and colorful flags, there were now darts boards, pool tables, swimming pools, claw machines, and other entertainment facilities. Read latest chapters at empire

A UFO even perched atop his head, and Oliver found a piano somewhere and began to play.

Soon, black musical notes danced out from the tips of her fingers, playfully chasing each other around the restaurant with their short little legs.

Ma Lu turned to Mr. Furball beside him, "Do you feel any better?"

Mr. Furball hadn't answered yet when the voice of the cartoon mouse rang out again, "Oh oh oh, ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much for taking time out of your busy schedules to join us tonight at mine and Minnie's 109th engagement party.

"Although we have known each other for nearly a hundred years, the love we have for each other has never faded. It's always as passionate as the first day we met. To me, Minnie is still adorable, beautiful, a perfect woman who embodies both intelligence and tenderness."

As Mickey spoke, he took Minnie's hand, and she also said, "I love you forever, Mickey. You're the most handsome, sunniest, most considerate, and funniest man I've ever met. Every minute and second with you is filled with joy, and I couldn't bear to be apart from you for a moment."

After their words, they kissed mouth to mouth, and their hearts simultaneously leaped from their chests, forming two heart shapes.

Mr. Furball said, "This is why I don't like cartoons; they're always depicting things that don't exist in the world, misleading our next generation."

"Yeah, I agree, that's the media for you. They're either lying or on their way to lying. In fact, our world is a giant pile of dog shit, and no amount of cream on top can change the fact that it's dog shit."

The speaker was a middle-aged horse-headed man wearing a gray suit with a blue sweater, sitting at a table and exuding an aura of 'keep out.' He seemed out of place among the other partygoers.

Seeing Ma Lu looking this way, he spoke up again, "Hey boss, where's my drink? I've been sitting here for 1 minute already. If I have to listen to that mouse couple any longer, I'm going to vomit."

Ma Lu said, "Right away."

After speaking, he went into the back kitchen and rolled out 100 packs of Cat Pee Beer from the refrigerator.

He then unexpectedly found Mr. Furball chatting with the horse-headed man at a table.

"...Do you know what the biggest problem with modern society is? They only listen to what they want to believe; no one cares about what the truth is... Mhmm, I'll call my friends in Hollywood and have them check into the Magical Girl stuff. They might have been involved in the Watergate scandal too."

"...The universe is a vast expanse of cruel indifference. The key to happiness isn't to seek meaning, but to busy oneself with the absurdities of life. From that perspective, that mouse couple actually grasped the secret to happiness..."

"...I have nothing against cats talking. After all, I'm a horse myself. But I'm only a cartoon character, so perhaps I don't have much of a say in this..."

Seeing that they seemed to be getting along well, Ma Lu set the beers on the table and silently retreated to the side.

He then served the remaining beer to other guests, and the taste of Cat Pee Beer was unanimously praised.

However, it didn't take long before Ma Lu began to hear a chorus of rumbling stomachs. Mickey glanced at the time and said, somewhat helplessly,

"I'm still waiting for a friend, but never mind, let's not wait for him. We should start; I'm starving."

While saying this, Mickey took a big gulp of Cat Pee Beer, only to have it spray back out through the hole that had just been poked with a toothpick.

Mickey had to find a stopper to plug the leak.

Ma Lu then began serving the food as per his request.

The theme for tonight was BBQ, and Ma Lu had been preparing a week in advance. He had selected Red-bellied Rattlesnake, Link Hedgehog, Spiked Leg Tailless Scorpion, Earth Dragon, Emperor Redback Scorpion, Self-Destructing Jumping Mouse, Crocodile Bullet Ant, Two-Headed Hyena, Thousand-Tooth Sand Bream, and Snake-tailed Giant Eagle as ingredients.
