Bound to the Multiverse Restaurant, I'm now the darling of my staff.

(Chapter 174 is after the previous chapter. If you haven't read it yet, please go back and take a look.)

The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, and the soft murmur of Wenyan echoed in the background.

Ludwig nodded heavily. "The more defiant her actions are, the greater the loss of life points she will need to sustain."

Xuanxiao's face was frosty. "If it weren't for my foolish disciple, you know the consequences that hurricane would have caused."

"To change its course would be to confront the power of heaven and earth head-on. The fact that she can still have a breath left with the life force she has accumulated is already a sign of the mercy of heaven."

Chu Ze still couldn't swallow his anger and retorted sarcastically.

"You seem to value her, but all you know is how to take from her. Have you ever truly cared about her safety? If you hadn't acted so blindly, she wouldn't be in this situation. Now that her life hangs by a thread, are you satisfied?"

The senior leader looked ashamed and speechless, only bowing his head and clenching his fists.

The others were at a loss for words, their faces filled with regret and remorse.

"This, this silly girl, why, why won't she say anything..."

Hall snorted coldly, "She's such a strong-willed person, how could she possibly tell others about her difficulties?"

After speaking, he glanced at Wen Yan again, then hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.

Wen Yan's eyes reddened as she understood the meaning behind his glance.

My sister didn't tell him, simply because she didn't want him to worry...

He gritted his teeth and said, "It's all my fault! I noticed something was wrong with her a long time ago, but I didn't ask her about it..."

Why did my sister suddenly say she wanted to open a restaurant, and in such a hurry, when we first woke up...?

Why was she so pale before...?

It turns out that everything was traceable, but he subconsciously ignored it.

"I don't deserve to be your brother!" Wen Yan raised her hand and slapped herself hard, filled with countless regrets.

The senior leader sighed, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "It's not your fault, it's my fault..."

If it weren't for him, this child wouldn't have come today, wouldn't have done such a dangerous thing, and wouldn't have had to pay such a price.

Ultimately, those people from another world weren't wrong. It was their excessive reliance on warmth and their greed—wanting everything—that led her to this state...

Hall couldn't help but mutter, "What's the use of saying all this now? We'd be better off thinking about how to save them!"

Wen Yan suddenly raised her head, a glimmer of hope in her eyes, "Do you have a way to save her? Tell me quickly!"

The senior leader also raised his head, his eyes resolute, "If there's anything we can do to help, please let us know. Even if it means going through fire and water, we will never let anything happen to this child."

This is a mistake they made, and they must make amends for it.

The others in the room remained silent, only nodding firmly.

They owed this girl so much...

Seeing their expressions, the shop assistants' faces softened slightly.

Ludwig spoke to them in a slightly gentler tone.

"Nuan Nuan fell into a coma because her life force reached a critical point. Only life force can help her wake up safely now."

"How can I gain health points?" Wen Yan asked anxiously.

Wen Yan couldn't care less about anything else right now; all he could think about was how to save his precious little sister.

"Warmth is gone, and we don't have the authority to accept system tasks..." Chu Ze put aside those random thoughts and calmed down to think of a solution.

As soon as he said that, the light of hope in Wen Yan's eyes dimmed a little.

Ludwig frowned and lowered his eyes, then quickly looked up again. "The only way is to upgrade the restaurant. Each restaurant upgrade rewards the most health points!"

"What are the conditions for upgrading the restaurant?"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room was delighted, and the senior leader quickly pressed for details.

"We only know that the conditions for restaurant upgrades are related to customer traffic, but only Nuan Nuan has the authority to know the specific number of customers required for an upgrade."

Several shop assistants frowned, looking troubled.

Moreover, they didn't know how much health Warmth had left, or how much time they had left.

"Isn't it enough to just send people to a restaurant for a meal?" the senior leader pondered upon hearing this.

Previously, someone had been in charge of the restaurant's publicity, and they were aware of the conditions.

The task details cannot be directly disclosed to diners. In other words, if someone like them, who knows the details, goes to the restaurant to eat, the system will not count it.

"We could have some businesses hold a lucky draw, with the prize being that they dine at a restaurant and all expenses are reimbursed!"

"We can't go, but we can bring our family members. They won't know about it, so they can be counted in the effective visitor volume!"

"And all those people from various bases, all of them were pulled over there under the guise of team building, does that count?"

"And there's more..."

A cacophony of voices filled the room as everyone tried their best to come up with a solution.

Chu Ze and the others exchanged glances, and each saw a hint of relief in the other's eyes.

Although the road ahead remains uncertain, at least for now, everyone is working together to actively strive to save warmth.

"Then it's settled for now!" The top leader finally made the decision. "Get moving immediately! The more people, the better! And the sooner, the better!"

"Yes, Chief!"

Everyone responded in unison and turned to leave.

"and many more!"

Xuanxiao suddenly raised his hand, his face showing a rare look of surprise and doubt.

The person who had just turned around stopped and stared at him without moving.

Chu Ze also looked up, his eyes filled with disbelief. He glanced at the others and hesitated before asking, "Did you guys receive it?"

Hall and Ludwig nodded in agreement.

"W-what's wrong?" Wen Yan asked anxiously. Had something gone wrong again?

Chu Ze breathed a sigh of relief when he realized he wasn't the only one who heard it.

"Just now, the system's voice suddenly appeared in my mind."

The other employees nodded in agreement, confirming that they had heard it as well.

"What did the system say?" the top leader asked impatiently, his eyes lighting up.

[Limited-time mission: Achieve 100,000 customer visits within three days, with a genuine positive review rate of 90%, and your restaurant will be upgraded two levels.]

Given the urgency of this mission, the restaurant is permitted to accept external assistance within the next 72 hours.

Please note: Guests who are aware of the system's existence will not be counted in the task completion progress.

Hall read out the system notifications they had received, word by word.

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback at first, and then their faces showed a mixture of surprise and delight.

The senior leader exclaimed excitedly, "While reaching 10 people within three days is challenging, it's not without hope. This is an excellent opportunity to save the girl!"

Previously, outsiders were not allowed to come into the restaurant to help, but for some reason, the system has relaxed the restrictions this time.

Although there was a time limit, it greatly helped them complete their task.

"Everyone, it was Wen who helped us all before, even at great cost."

"Now, it's time for us to give back!"

The unwavering gaze of everyone was a response to the top leader.

They said no more, turned and walked away quickly, taking out their phones as they went, their voices fading into the distance.

“We need to take Nuannuan back to the restaurant; that’s where she’s safest.”

Xuanxiao glanced at his little disciple and spoke to Wenyan, who was still in the room.

He wouldn't feel at ease if he didn't keep a close eye on his apprentice in his current state.

Wen Yan knew how powerful her younger sister's master was, so she nodded, walked to the bedside, squatted down, and gently touched her sister's hair.

"Nuan Nuan, wait for me, your brother will definitely save you!"

After saying that, he glanced at his sister one last time, then turned and walked out quickly.

Xuanxiao stepped forward, gently picked up his disciple, and pulled him into his arms before turning around.

"Nuan Nuan, Master will take you back."
