Maze Fan: I opened a buffet in the maze

"How's it going?" Yani pushed out two glasses and ordered her brother and Bernoulli's favorite drinks.

Roddy picked it up and took a sip, looking somewhat puzzled.

"It's true." He seemed to still be puzzled. "Wo Kane is a real person, and he is a very famous adventurer. He made a great contribution to the mapping of the Yuruo Swamp."

"According to the staff's memories, Mr. Kane had a mechanical boat found in the ruins that could move freely between waters."

"He also often goes deep into the mysterious waters of the foggy area alone to explore the unknown."

"But three years ago, he disappeared."

"Ah?" Everyone was surprised. This explained why they had never heard of this famous adventurer. After all, except for Bernoulli and Westin, they had all been in Maze Street for no more than three years.

Most of the two were mixed up in a maze and didn't know much about these things.

"Yes, he is missing." Rody took a deep breath and said again: "Initially, the guild immediately organized a resurrection after confirming that the insurance had expired, but it was unsuccessful."

“Subsequent attempts also yielded no results.”

"In the end, the priest concluded that Mr. Wo Kane was either completely dead, with his soul annihilated, or he was not in the maze and was still alive somewhere on the continent."

Time-limited confirmation insurance is a type of resurrection insurance, which prevents adventurers from dying with their bodies nowhere to be found and no one knowing about it. As long as the insurance expires and the adventurer himself has not confirmed it, the guild will help with resurrection.

And because the maze is reset every year, no one can survive in it.

So with several resurrections spanning more than a year, Mr. Kane was either completely dead or was outside the maze for some reason and did not come to confirm.

"It looks like this bottle was lost by Mr. Kane three years ago and was only found by us now. May God rest him in peace."

Yani made prayer gestures to the Supreme Light very piously, and Yunxin also prayed to the Great Ming Mother using Eastern rituals. As the mother of resurrection, the Supreme Light is also a symbol of the destination of death.

"Then should we make use of this valuable legacy left by Mr. Kane?"

Norma was a little excited. Not to mention the treasure and huge secret mentioned on the paper, the gem that could make wishes come true was something she really wanted to get!

Obviously, everyone was somewhat tempted. Who doesn't have one or two wishes that they want to realize?

But Fan Wei, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, picked up the paper in the bottle and asked, "Is there any way to determine when the handwriting on it was written? I always feel that this piece of paper looks a little too new."

Time always leaves traces. Even if it is well preserved, after three years of drifting and sun exposure, it will at least not be so clean.

"I know this magic." Bernoulli said, and according to Fan Wei's suggestion, he stretched out his hand to identify the paper and text.

But the result he got back made his expression change suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Rody asked hurriedly.

"These words were written within 10 days!"

"What?!" Everyone was shocked. That was to say, 10 days ago, Wo Kane, who had been missing for three years, wrote this note, put it in a bottle and threw it into the water.

"Yes, it's a prank, right?"

This seems to be the only possibility, but the mudflats where they set up the cages are very remote and resource-scarce, so normally no adventurers would go there.

"There's no point in guessing. Why don't we find a map and match the coordinates on the paper to see if they match." Fan Wei held his chin and began to reason.

This inexplicable message in the bottle gave him a very bad feeling, as if some shadow was hanging over his head.

Mysterious, unpredictable, and with a sense of temptation that is difficult to escape.

Roddy immediately went out and spent money to buy a most accurate map of the second-floor maze, which was drawn under the guidance of Mr. Wo Kane.

Following the coordinates on the piece of paper, he moved his finger toward a gray area, and at the intersection of the two position lines, he could see a very tiny island.

"Really, there is, and it's in the 'fog area'."

The foggy area is a place outside the safe route where humans have no foothold and has not been thoroughly explored.

Judging from many factors such as the distance from the island and the ocean currents, it is possible that the drifting bottle could reach the shoal they discovered within ten days, and the possibility is that it is not small.

"We'll talk about this later."

After a moment of silence, Rody took his fingers away and said with a smile, "We have just entered the Youruo Swamp and don't know much about it."

"Even if there really is a treasure, it's not easy to get it. It's better to move forward safely and wait until the time is right."

"That makes sense." Everyone nodded.

Bernoulli also murmured softly, as if agreeing, or as if trying to convince himself, "Yes, no hurry, no hurry..."

It was already completely dark, and the team was about to go home. The next gathering would be in a few days, and they would explore the Youruo Swamp in depth.

As soon as I walked out the door, I could feel the rain getting heavier in the dark night.

People can't help but worry about the safety of walking.

However, the infrastructure of Maze Street is still quite good. The sewers have a strong flood discharge capacity, and the river flow is also large. Even if the river level is almost rising to the bottom of the bridge, there is still not much water accumulation.

Fan Wei and Yun Xin drove back home. As soon as they entered the door, they saw Clara and Gonia waiting for them, and Irene who was reading a book.

"Hey, is today a day off?"

After hanging the raincoat on the rack outside to dry, Fan Wei smoothed his wet hair and asked skillfully.

"The production team's work has been completed, and the contract with the Sage Tower headquarters has also been approved. I'm here to give you the appointment."

Irene took out a parchment scroll sealed in a metal shell, and with a slid of her hand, she peeled off the seal. The scroll slowly unfolded in the air, revealing mysterious blue patterns and neatly formatted handwriting.

"The headquarters is planning to hire you as the top special consultant. You will receive a salary of 15 gold coins per month. Your status is about the same as mine."

"But there is a condition. You must work at the headquarters."

"Uh." Fan Wei took the hot towel handed to him by Clara, wiped his face and hair, and hesitated.

"But what if I don't want to go?"

Irene smiled domineeringly and raised her bright face: "It's simple, I will directly help you reject it. With the instructions of the tower master, the headquarters dare not do anything. At most, we will pay your salary."

"Thank you, Irene!" Fan Wei was delighted, feeling that this was the feeling of being protected by someone!

"But it's only fifteen gold coins a month! Isn't that a bit too much~"

This salary level is comparable to a monthly salary of one million in the previous life! ! It’s nothing to get from the headquarters, but he has a good relationship with the tower master, Irene and other members of the Sage Tower.

It feels like I'm fleecing my own family.

"Look at your ambition." Irene walked over and handed him the appointment letter, then smiled brightly and patted Fan Wei's back. "For high-level professionals, a dozen gold coins a month is the bottom line."

"If you want to become stronger quickly, you must have a good teacher, high-level potions, and refined equipment, right? All of which start at dozens of gold coins."

"Stop using the old common people's ideas. In the high-level world, there is no difference between gold coins and copper coins! The Sage Tower doesn't need your little money."

Fan Wei didn't quite understand yet, but he was greatly shocked!

Humph, this little fool is so easy to coax~ Irene smiled lightly and talked about other key points.

"The next part is the real highlight, which is about the production of the thunder bug potion and the share you can get..."

——————I am the dividing line——————

The Sage Tower headquarters gave Fan Wei three options: fixed annuity, proportional commission, and cooperative management.

The first one is easy to understand. It is equivalent to the Sage Tower paying Fan Wei a fixed amount of patent royalties every year. Regardless of the profit or loss, he can get a fixed income.

The proportional commission means taking a percentage of the profit from the sales of thunderworm pills.

This option will probably not make much money if sales and production are not opened up, but once the market expands, the increased profits will be considerable.

The third option is for Fan Wei to truly become a partner, participate in the production and sale of pills, and then share the costs and profits based on the investment ratios of both parties.

It’s not difficult to understand, but Fan Wei doesn’t intend to choose any of them.

"I'll leave it to you, Irene! Just call me when you need help, and you can take care of the money and management!"

Yes, he shamelessly chose to lie low. Mr. Fan was well aware of his own business talent. He was not cut out for business, otherwise he would not have almost gone bankrupt at the beginning.

As the saying goes, every profession has its own expertise. It’s better to leave complicated matters to smart people!

"I knew what you would say." Looking at this guy with a handsome silly smile, Irene pressed her forehead with a headache.

But she also felt that this was a good idea. Instead of letting messy things distract his talents and attention, it would be better to help and let Misler develop his nature more freely.

This is also a kind of love and support.

"But don't think of just sitting around!" As soon as she finished speaking, Irene took out a stack of books half a person's height from the Space Ring.

"Talent and giftedness should not be wasted! This is the basic textbook in the field of magic and potions that I am proficient in. You must finish reading it within two months. I will come to check on your progress every day from now on."

"Don't let me down, Fan~"

Taking the magic wand like a pointer and tapping the ocean of knowledge that was almost as tall as her, Irene showed a 'kind' smile.

The towering mountain of books cast a columnar shadow on Fan Wei's face, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

"Can so many really fit in?!" It's not that Fan Wei is unconfident, he is far away from the peak of his wisdom in those few years~

"Come on, if you don't push yourself, how do you know how much potential you have?"

With a wave of his hand, a mountain of books floated forward.

Finally, Fan Wei took over the pile of books, which weighed him down. Thinking of the hard years ahead, he smiled with a sense of reality and warmly invited Clara, Gonia and Yunxin to study together!

The blessing should be shared by everyone!!!

Although hard times are visibly approaching, this cannot stop Fan Wei's passion for cooking.

He took out the large amount of Ooshima meat and golden eels from his personal space, as well as other monsters whose materials and bodies were useless after being sold, and began to prepare dinner for Clara and the others who were guarding the house.

By the way, settle today's profits.

200 honor points, and got a skill that looks pretty good.

"Loyalty: A secret attraction field built with the spirit that can summon back released attacks or weapons."

"The boomerang may be late, but it will never be absent. Never use it on high-speed explosives!"

Feeling that it was a magical skill that could be used unexpectedly if used well, Fan Wei did not disassemble it and kept it.

After cleaning, cutting and removing unnecessary parts, the arm-long, sharp shrimps are piled on an ice tray, which makes their bodies produce a slingshot-like flying effect. You can imagine how elastic the shrimp meat is.

The snow-white and tender meat of the stone crab is well preserved by its hard shell, and the huge head of the bullfish is very suitable for stewing with tofu.

Do it as soon as you think of it, Fan Wei ordered tofu on the spot.

With the help of the accelerated reaction device, the tender and smooth water tofu and the more solid old tofu are ready in half an hour.

Some of the pickled vegetables that are usually made also bloom with brilliance at this moment.

Fan Wei opened the jar and took a smell; the sour smell made him drool subconsciously. He chopped the pickled pepper, roasted the fish head, and put the two flavors of fish head, one fresh and one spicy, into two large pots, gurgling together and slowly rolling in the fire.

As for the color-changing slug, Fan Wei didn't dislike it. Its meat itself has no taste, but after being rinsed in ice water and then blanched in soup, it tastes as crispy as beef tripe.

Unfortunately, when Fan Wei was about to add this to the dish, he turned around and saw Yun Xin and Ge Niya staring at him blankly with pale faces.

This dish has no chance to be served.

“It’s obviously delicious.”

While collecting the sauce for the braised golden eel and controlling the oil for the fried Ooshima pork chops, Fan Wei muttered to himself, and a table of dinner was ready.

"Wow, are we eating while cooking? It seems just like the copper pot cooked by the Yuhou family in the north. The boss is really creative." Yunxin held the chopsticks, eyeing the various cut side dishes.

“By the way, that slug, it’s not in there, right?” She still seemed worried.

"I've finished eating." Fan Wei smiled helplessly, and suddenly came to his senses, "No, didn't you just finish eight bowls of eel rice, and a lot of fish platters?!"

"Just eight bowls? That's nothing for us!"

Yunxin tied her napkin and learned the dining etiquette of the West, but she held the chopsticks and said, "Even if it's eighteen bowls, I can still eat it! By the way, Boss, do you have any good wine?"

"Minors are not allowed to drink! Give me some juice!"

Putting the freshly squeezed juice aside, Fan Wei drank the tea quietly. He did not have the terrible appetite of the people from the alien world. He could only smell the fragrance, open one of the books in the mountain, and learn knowledge.

The brain always tends to do simple things and likes to rest lazily.

But humans are great because they can fight against their biological instincts.

Overcoming laziness, letting your desire for knowledge guide you, and believing that you can become better as a result, this is the real ladder to progress.

"Delicious! What are these white and tender cubes? A new type of monster? Very tender and tasty!"

"The sour taste seems to come from the chili peppers, a special variety?"

In the closing restaurant, surrounded by aroma and warm breeze, Fan Wei was reading a book with peace of mind, and suddenly he felt a moment of eternal peace.

Just as a certain villain once said, what people pursue in life is 'peace of mind'.

Fan Wei feels very safe and wants to accumulate strength to protect this peace of mind.

"Hey, Fan~" Irene's cheerful voice sounded in her ears. She turned around and saw her holding a vinegar dish and peeled shrimps and extending it to her.

"The prawns are great, open your mouth and try them!"

Fan Wei opened his mouth obediently and took a bite of the sweet and chewy shrimp meat. It was indeed delicious.

"Sir." Clara came over with a crab shell, scooped up a spoonful of crab roe and mixed meat, and looked at him tenderly with her dark eyes.

“The crab meat is also delicious...”

Blinking, Fan Wei, feeling a little embarrassed by being stared at, ate another spoonful of crab meat.

As the girl said, the meat of stone crabs is much more tender than ordinary crabs! They usually disguise themselves as rocks and wait for an opportunity to catch prey that swims nearby.

It is safe and not exercised often, so it is as soft and tender as tofu!

"It's delicious!" Just as he finished exclaiming, another piece of braised eel was placed in front of him.

"This is a reward from the goddess, so be grateful!" Gonia raised her chin and stuffed the eel covered with red sauce into Fan Wei's mouth.

? ? Wasn't I reading a book? Why was I suddenly fed?

Fan Wei looked confused.

At the table, the three forces started a silent collision, competing to see who could win the favor of Misr Fan! Yun Xin buried her head in eating, pretending that she didn't notice anything.

As the old saying goes, food, sex and nature are part of human nature, and this is true and can be seen everywhere!

This frown is for the handsome face... It seems that there will be trouble around the boss~
