Just as Xin Lin was lanting that her journey as a novice Spiritual Delicacy Master had ended before it even started, the voice of the Life Book ca into her mind again.
"Life Book notification, issuing a random task: Rebuild ’Chu’s Restaurant’, gain 20 regular custors. Completion will reward one Dan Wood sign, failure will deduct 100 Heaven-defying Value, task duration is three days."
Xin Lin paused in her steps, nearly stumbling and falling.
Life Book, you’re being mischievous again.
Thanks to the Ultimate Lingxiu Buns, her Heaven-defying Value had soared recently. She was truly planning to either use the Dan Wood Furnace to indulge herself with Spiritual Food or roll the Opportunity Dice to bring out so new tricks. Who knew another random task would co up.
And the Heaven-defying Value deducted for task failure was higher each ti.
Xin Lin’s eyes were skeptical, guessing that the Heaven-defying Book calculated the cost of failure based on the Heaven-defying Value she possessed.
In any case, she couldn’t afford to lose; otherwise, she might be erased by the Human Path.
"Life Book, can the issuance of random tasks be less frequent?"
Xin Lin asked politely.
"Life Book notification, the issuance of random tasks is completely random, frequency cannot be determined."
Xin Lin rolled her eyes; it was like speaking to no avail.
regular custors, where would she find them?
Right now, she didn’t even have a single regular custor!
Xin Lin sighed and returned to Chu Mansion.
"Little Boss, the Purple Cloud Cabbage in the backyard has yielded abundantly again. We have over two hundred, almost three hundred cabbages in our cellar. If we keep them any longer, they’ll rot."
As soon as she entered, Ma Jingtian ran over, holding two big cabbages in his arms.
Who wouldn’t want such good cabbages?
"Change it up tomorrow, send twenty to Shi Guiren. Also, tomorrow morning, take a few brothers with you to clean up Chu’s Restaurant."
Xin Lin waved her hand.
"Clean up that corner? Why?"
Ma Jingtian was confused; there wasn’t even a Spiritual Delicacy Master there.
"We’re reopening, um, we won’t sell Spiritual Delicacies, just the Delicious Spiritual Food Buns."
Xin Lin dropped the statent and went back to rest.
The next morning at De Yue Building, several runners were carrying trays of hot Spiritual Delicacy Buns as usual.
Due to the Overlord Egg incident yesterday, De Yue Building’s buns had sold out, and the Shopkeeper had been lightly complained at by regular custors.
It was just dawn, and long queues would normally have ford outside De Yue Building.
The runners and the assistant chefs in the dining space were all waiting for the buns to sell out quickly.
Indeed, so custors were waiting outside.
The Shopkeeper looked a few tis and felt sothing was off.
How co it feels like there are fewer people?
On normal days, several hundred pork buns in more than a dozen trays would sell out in a quarter of an hour, but today took one and a half quarters?
At the sa hour, roughly when De Yue Building was selling buns, a small figure with a basket of steaming buns was weaving through the market crowd.
"Hey, kid, you’re here. Give five buns."
As soon as Xin Lin arrived at the market, the rchant uncle from yesterday ca over with a smile, buying five in one go.
"Kid, give two as well. Your family’s cabbage pork buns taste really good. The flour is elastic, the at juice is plentiful, and the cabbage is especially crisp and sweet. My old lady ate one and has been thinking about it since."
The market was bustling with rchants who specifically waited for Xin Lin today, forgoing De Yue Building’s buns. Half the price, better taste, only a fool wouldn’t buy.
