In Douluo Continent, what is a martial soul? It's like Luckin Coffee.

Chapter 90 Luckin Coffee welcomes you, but where are the customers?

The new semester is just around the corner.

Inside the Royal Academy of Sun and Moon, the original Luckin Coffee shop has been inexplicably split in two. The left side is still the Luckin Coffee shop, but the right side has a sign that says "Under Renovation".

Luckin Coffee shops were already quite large, and the time spent building the shop from scratch was significantly longer than the time spent decorating it.

The other two stores are right next to each other, which has another special advantage.

If Mixue Ice Cream runs out of ice, you can get some directly from Luckin Coffee's kitchen.

Of course, as the representative of the ultimate ice attribute, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's ice cubes are even harder than those from Luckin Coffee.

Bai Ran: There's nothing I can do. My Luckin Coffee Martial Soul is only close to the ultimate ice Martial Soul, but Xiao Bing possesses the true ultimate ice attribute.

……

"You're so cunning, Mengmeng!"

Inside the classroom, looking at Meng Hongchen who had taken the initiative to sit next to her, Ju Zi couldn't help but purse her lips and say something.

Although Orange is older than Dream Red Dust, as the saying goes, the accomplished come first.

Within the Sun and Moon Royal Academy, as long as one is skilled enough, it is not impossible for lower-grade students to take courses offered to higher-grade students.

However, if you fail the course, you'll be in for a lot of trouble.

For Meng Hongchen, taking some Level 4 Soul Master courses was not difficult, so it was not surprising that he became classmates with Ju Zi.

"Oh, Sister Orange, don't be angry anymore. I'll take you to the teachers' cafeteria tomorrow at noon, okay?"

Before the winter break, the teachers' canteen, cooked by Chef Ye, became incredibly popular throughout the college.

Even during holidays, it's still difficult to find a meal.

It's a pity that Ju Zi is just an ordinary student who can't get into the teachers' canteen at all, while Xu Tianran, who asked for help to go to school just for a little bit of good food, is the one who is so unlucky.

That's not true, really not.

However, at noon, I saw Meng Hongchen go to the teachers' canteen and seem to get along very well with the head chef.

Orange was a little unhappy.

They're clearly best friends, but she doesn't share good food with me. That's so disloyal.

Actually, I don't really want to either.

You still have to put on an act when necessary.

"Speaking of which, it's all Sister Orange's fault."

Remember the beef and potato stew I brought back last time? Uncle Ye made it too, but Sister Orange, you insisted you wouldn't eat it.

"I thought it was a ready-made meal kit."

Who would have thought that the stewed beef and potatoes in Meng Hongchen's lunchbox were the same as the lunchbox her mentor Xuan Ziwen ate?

Teacher Xuan is stingy. He drank the orange C Americano he bought himself, but he wouldn't even give himself a bite of his boxed lunch.

"Shall we go buy coffee after class?"

The first class in the afternoon was too boring, and Meng Hongchen was getting drowsy. She desperately needed a cup of coffee to perk herself up.

"No, coffee shops are always packed these days."

Orange initially thought she had discovered a hidden gem of a coffee shop, so she went there every day. However, as more and more people started going to the coffee shop, Orange hadn't had an Orange C Americano in a long time. (Mainly because the coffee shop was closed during winter break.)
"Don't worry, Sister Orange, I know the owner of the coffee shop."

Meng Hongchen patted his chest and assured him.

"Mengmeng, is there anything you don't know?"

“I’m not very familiar with Crown Prince Xu Tianran, but he’s your husband.”

"Your husband..."

No woman wants to marry a paralyzed man.

If it weren't for realizing her political ambitions, Ju Zi wouldn't have chosen to marry Xu Tianran later on.

But as the saying goes, a rotten orange is still a rotten orange.

……

Inside Luckin Coffee
It's true that Bingdi is an employee of Mixue Ice Cream, but the renovation of Mixue Ice Cream is not yet complete.

As the store manager, Bai Ran would definitely have to bring her in to help.

"Welcome to Luckin Coffee. Luckin is so glad you're here."

"What?" Hearing Xiao Bing's way of "welcoming" guests, Bai Ran felt an itch to press the magic remote control.

"Balabababa, Luckin Coffee really loves you coming, loves you coming again, loves you coming every day~"

"Oh, that's right."

Bai Ran nodded, indicating that he was very satisfied.

"Manager, where are our customers?"

Looking at the empty store, Hyotei was momentarily confused as to why the store manager wanted to train them.

Is it a compliance test?

"It's class time for students now, but there will be many customers when get out of class ends."

Bai Ran still vividly remembers that afternoon before the end of the holiday.

The spirit rings are practically sparking from all the friction, yet they still can't keep up with the Luckin Coffee orders from the customers.

If it weren't for the fact that his soul power was insufficient and he had put up a "Coffee Sold Out Today" sign in advance, Bai Ran would probably have died from exhaustion of his soul power.

At least the big cat gives you some rest time; it only asks for the next cup after you finish the first one.

But the customers don't care about any of that; once one cup is made, you have to make the next one.

Furthermore, coffees like the Peach Coffee or Grapefruit Americano require the user to use their soul power to process the fruit-type soul beasts, which is even more energy-consuming.

……

Several tens of minutes later

Meng Hongchen and Ju Zi walked into Bai Ran's Luckin Coffee shop.

When she first walked in, Meng Hongchen wondered if she had come to the wrong place.

Why is business so slow?
It's almost as good as the first two days after we opened.

Did everyone think that Luckin Coffee had gone out of business because the coffee shop was closed during winter break?

It doesn't make sense; it's just a matter of coming over to take a look.

It's impossible that he's lost his mind while researching soul tools and doesn't even have the time for this.

"Blah blah blah, welcome to Luckin Coffee! Luckin loves you coming, loves you coming again and again, loves you coming every day~"

Upon seeing a customer arrive, Xiao Bing, like a human robot, obediently followed the manager's instructions.

Look, look at what Hyotei has done to it!
"A coconut latte, please."

Having tried Luckin Coffee so many times, Meng Hongchen still prefers the taste of the coconut latte the most.

"What an interesting little sister, give me an orange C Americano."

Unlike Meng Wuchen, Ju Zi had no idea that this green-haired little girl was the legendary Ice Emperor.

Orange: Even if you told me, I wouldn't believe you.

"Manager, one coconut latte and one orange C Americano."

Hyotei arrived in front of Shiro, who was taking a nap, kicked the recliner, and shouted loudly.

"I know, I know."

Bai Ran quickly went into the kitchen and soon brought out a Luckin Coconut Latte and a Luckin Orange C Americano.

……

"Brother Bai Ran, why is there no one in your shop today?"

"Yes, yes, my sister used to never be able to buy coffee."

As Meng Hongchen finished speaking, Ju Zi chimed in from the side.

"I do not know either."

Bai Ran spread his hands.

When I took Hyotei to the teachers' cafeteria for lunch, the cafeteria, which was run by his uncle, was still packed with customers.

Even Bai Ran, as his own nephew, wouldn't have been able to squeeze into the cafeteria without Xiao Hongchen's help.

But Luckin Coffee has become like this.

Which part of the process went wrong?

Or was I set up by the Buckingham next door?
