Chapter XII Temporary Assignments
"You don't have anything to do here, so you might as well be my waiter." After being full of wine and food, Liu Ning said. Of course, most of the meals went to Gu Lingyu's stomach.
In terms of grabbing vegetables, Liu Ning can't compare to this demon servant whose cultivation is far higher than his own.
The braised pork of the first dish is worthy of its reputation, although most of it has reached Gu Lingyu's stomach, but it is that small part that also makes Liu Ning full of aura, and his cultivation speed has greatly increased.
"Waiter?" Gu Lingyu was puzzled, there was no such thing as a waiter in the demon world.
"It's just doing some work of wiping the table. Liu Ning briefly explained to Gu Lingyu, took his hand into his pocket, and put the latest contract full of ancient characters provided by the system in front of Gu Lingyu.
"Yes. Gu Lingyu didn't think about it, so he pressed the handprint under Liu Ning's guidance.
Whoa, whoa, whoa
The contract turned into a golden ray and disappeared into Gu Lingyu's mind, and information about the waiter's requirements and other information instantly entered Gu Lingyu's mind. Even with Gu Lingyu's strength of the Seven Stars, his brain couldn't help but crash a little, and it took a while to react.
"It turns out that this is the waiter, and it's not much like the second shopkeeper. Gu Lingyu muttered softly, many aspects of the demon world are similar to the ancient times of the human world, and there is still a profession like shopkeeper.
As soon as the words came out, Gu Lingyu couldn't help but be stunned, because the language she spoke this time was not the pronunciation of the ancient language that she was familiar with, but a language called Chinese on that contract.
When the contract brings a lot of information into her mind, the connected language is also passed in, and according to the contract, this is the most used language in the human world, and it is basically needed in the human world.
"Side Quest: Find a Non-Human Waiter to Complete!Rewards: 1,000 Star Coins, Common Dishes: Stir-fried Green Vegetables Distribution!"
"Today's settlement: income of 10,000 yuan, exchanged for 100 star coins!"
"After experiencing the first customer and the demon world hunting ingredients, the host must also have a certain understanding of the operation of the food hall, so let's set a small goal! Main task three: Complete the income of one hundred spirit stones in two weeks!"
"Reward: Beginner Rune Crafting!"
"Finally the mission is complete. ”
Liu Ning said happily. He took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and after the automatic time adjustment through the Internet, the time displayed on the mobile phone was a little unexpected by Liu Ning.
"It's nine o'clock in the evening, which means that the time ratio between the demon world and the human world is about two to one?" Liu Ning thought.
This is a place worth paying attention to, Liu Ning took note of this, and after packing up the things in the food hall with Gu Lingyu, he prepared to go home.
on the street
The weather has gradually turned cold, and by 9 o'clock in the evening, there are not many pedestrians on even the busiest commercial streets.
syllable
A black-haired girl in a robe walked quickly across the street, passing by Liu Ning, but suddenly paused, and Meimu looked at Liu Ning and wondered: "You have a heavy demonic aura on your body?"
"Demonic?" Liu Ning was shocked, could it be that the matter of collecting demon servants was discovered so quickly?
Just when Liu Ning wanted to say something, the girl shook her head and left quickly, as if there was something urgent to do, and the figure disappeared from Liu Ning's sight in a hurry.
"Strange people. Liu Ning shook his head, didn't take it to heart, and walked back home quickly.
Back at home, an unexpected figure of Liu Ning appeared on the sofa.
"Xiaoxue, why did you come back today?" Liu Ning said strangely.
Liu Xixue, her sister who was playing with her mobile phone on the sofa, rolled her eyes angrily and said, "Have you forgotten that today is Friday, and tomorrow will be the day after tomorrow!"
"Okay"
Liu Ning shrugged his shoulders and looked around There were no other sounds, if he guessed correctly, his mother should be working overtime today.
However, this also saved Liu Ning the time to explain, and Liu Ning walked to his room.
"That's right. Liu Xixue put down her mobile phone and stopped Liu Ning, and said, "There will be a masquerade party at the school in three days, you can go with me." ”
"Masquerade?"
Liu Ning was puzzled, it's just an activity, and according to my sister's personality, I don't have any special reasons, I'm afraid I won't call myself at all.
"Yes. Liu Xixue responded and explained the process of the masquerade ball. said that it was a masquerade ball, but in fact it was just an event organized by the school's student union, and the main purpose was to let the students have more communication, to put it bluntly, it was to let the single dogs in the school get rid of the singles as soon as possible.
"Brother, or you ...... Pretend to be my boyfriend. Liu Xixue hesitated.
"Pretend to be your boyfriend?" Liu Ning saw at a glance that his sister had something to say, so he asked.
"Okay, okay. In fact, during the course of the prom, you will pass by Longyi Lake in the mountain behind the school. ”
Liu Xixue stuck out her tongue and told the real reason.
Longyi Lake in the mountain behind Liangcheng University, Liu Ning has heard his sister mention it many times, it is said to be a haunted area, and there are some strange rumors from time to time. However, the scope of the legend is not large, and most of them are only spread among the students of the school, so Liu Ning hears the most news about this place from his sister's mouth.
"I don't know what that guy brought up, saying that everyone will go for a walk in Longyi Lake after the dance is over, and what's even worse is that this proposal has been agreed by many people!"
Liu Xixue said indignantly.
"Temporary Mission: Participate in a masquerade ball with Liu Xixue to investigate the real cause of the haunting of Longyi Lake. Reward: A Dish: Pork Ribs with Sauce"
"System task?" Liu Ning was stunned.
If what Liu Xixue said made Liu Ning hesitate, Liu Ning suddenly cheered up after the task of the system came out. It's not like the style of the system!
Judging from the several tasks released by the system, most of them are related to the release of the food hall. However, this task is different, the main purpose of investigating Longyi Lake is not clearly stated, and there is no connection with the development of food halls from the aspect of the task.
It's weird!
After taking care of it, Liu Ning found that there was a trace of imperceptible black qi on Liu Xixue's body, which quickly dissipated with the wind. If it weren't for the sudden slightest change in the spiritual power in the body, it would not have been discovered at all.
Could it be that the mountain behind Liangcheng University is really weird?
Liu Ning guessed in his heart, thought about it, and said, "Yes." ”
Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Liu Xixue smiled and returned to her room with her mobile phone. It seems that I don't want to waste any extra time.
"This girl. Liu Ning smiled, but this is like her sister's character.
Walking into his room, Liu Ning waved his hand, and two stacks of books, "Demon World Food Cooking Guide", "Demon World Food Recipes" and "Food Hall Management Guide", appeared on the desk.
Liu Ning picked up a book, ran the memory method and began to read. Unlike the previous quick memory, this time Liu Ning did not read to buy time, but to fully understand the meaning of the book.
Fortunately, after having the memorization method, Liu Ning's understanding of ancient characters has been greatly deepened, and it is not difficult to decipher.
"I finally finished reading the demon realm ingredients at the beginning of the mortal level, and I also read most of the ingredients at the middle of the mortal level. ”
Two hours later, Liu Ning put down the book and massaged his temples. This time the reading was not like a few minutes before entering the demon world, but really turned this into his own knowledge.
By the way, I also integrated what I saw before.
The rest of the time is cultivation. Liu Ning took out the crimson fruit harvested in the demon realm, and as soon as he got the fruit, Liu Ning could feel the amazing power inside.
"You actually have a Chiyun Fruit?" Gu Lingyu's voice suddenly sounded.
"Chiyun Fruit?" Liu Ning was puzzled.
"The fruit that can help the fire demon clan break through the cultivation can increase the chance of breaking through to four stars by three percent after taking it! Gu Lingyu said.
"Okay. Liu Ning put away the Chiyun Fruit. He didn't dare to use the things that helped the demon clan break through, in case he was contaminated with demon energy and became a half-human, half-demon monster, it would be bad.
After calming down, Liu Ning continued his cultivation today. Just like the first cultivation, the surrounding space began to "collapse", like a small black hole. The surrounding sun refinement was pulled by Liu Ning, and the braised pork that he ate at night was left in his body, and the spiritual power that remained in his body entered Liu Ning's meridians and continued to transform and operate, gradually transforming into his own spiritual power.
After cultivating for a while, Liu Ning couldn't stop his sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep. Although Liu Ning had already turned on a life star, it could only make him recover a little faster than ordinary people.
Nothing was said all night
"Daily task 1: Cut 100 radishes every day. Reward: New Skill Blademan!"
The next day, Liu Ning was awakened by the system's prompt task.
"Knife skills!"
A hint of surprise flashed in Liu Ning's eyes. The role of knife work for chefs is self-evident, if the knife skills are good enough, Liu Ning's grasp of making high-quality dishes will also be greatly increased.
Liu Ning has experienced how powerful the skills after the identification of the system are. Once awakened, it will definitely help you improve your knife skills more than a little bit, and you will be able to make more demanding dishes!
"Looks like I'll have to buy a few hundred white radishes to practice later, my poor little money. ”
Liu Ning said distressedly. He suddenly began to feel sorry for his thinning wallet. After working for a few days, I didn't have any income, but I didn't expect to have to post a lot of small money.
However, Liu Ning also knows that if he wants to get more rewards, necessary expenses are also necessary. However, the idea of making money elsewhere should also be on the agenda, otherwise it won't be long before Liu Ning is afraid that he will be crushed by these daily expenses.
Slowly getting up, washing up, and looking at the empty desktop, Liu Ning was stunned.
"It seems that my mother and sister haven't gotten up yet. ”
It seems that my mother worked overtime late at night last night, otherwise today's breakfast should have been placed on this table. With a sigh, Liu Ning used the remaining ingredients at home to make breakfast for the three of them. When Liu Ning came to the Happy Food Hall after purchasing white radish, it was almost ten o'clock in the morning.
"It's time to open the door. ”
Liu Ning pushed open the door, and in the communication with the system from time to time along the way, Liu Ning had already figured out some rules of the system. For example, the doors open at 10 a.m. and the business hours are four hours a day, which means that they are open from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Liu Ning picked up the kitchen knife and began to cut the white radish.
A hundred white radishes seems to be a lot, but with Liu Ning's current physical fitness and the sharpness of the kitchen knife, it doesn't take much time to cut it. Liu Ning also thought about cutting radishes at will to complete the task, but after trying one and seeing that there was no increase in the progress of the daily task, Liu Ning gave up the idea of indiscriminately filling the number.
In a few moments, the task of a hundred white radishes was completed.
"Congratulations to the host for completing Daily Task One: Cutting 100 White Radish. Bonus New Skill: Knife Skill
brush
Like the awakening of cooking skills before, after the awakening of knife skills, Liu Ning felt that there were many more things in his mind. When I picked up the kitchen knife, I felt completely different in my hand.
Just like a veteran who has used a knife for many years, his hand is a beautiful knife flower. A white radish quickly turned into a thin strand of hair under the kitchen knife, which was more than a minute faster than before, and the whole step also had a pleasing feeling!
"Beautiful!"
Liu Ning said. After the awakening of knife skills, he was also surprised by the improvement of knife skills.
The surprise didn't last long, and a female voice came from the door, which drew Liu Ning's attention back.
"Hey, when did you get a new store here?"
A young girl in a white exercise uniform stepped into the store, and after looking at the Happy Food Hall, she found a comfortable place to sit.
"It's a nice environment. ”
The girl took a deep breath, a hint of strange color flashed in her eyes, and the fragrance wafting in the air actually stabilized her originally somewhat impetuous mood, and even improved her martial arts cultivation.
It's mysterious and worth looking forward to
This is the girl's first impression of this shop.
