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

The small shop, less than 100 square meters in size, contains a few sets of wooden tables and chairs, nothing else, and little decoration.

There's a small door on the side that connects to the kitchen at the back. The whole shop is simple and tidy, but there aren't any customers right now, so it looks a bit deserted.

"Little Six, are we really sure we can complete the mission like this?"

At the entrance of the small shop, Wen Nuan held a fly swatter in her hand, idly waving it around.

It's been open for several days, and there hasn't been a single person, not even a fly.

Wen Nuan lay listlessly on the table, wondering if this damn system was playing a trick on her.

[I am the 996 system of the interdimensional restaurant, not some 6-year-old.]

"Oh, don't make such a fuss over such a small thing."

Turning her head to look at the empty store, Wen Nuan let out a long sigh.

"Hey 6, how about we make a deal?"

Hearing the host's fawning voice, System 996 knew without even calculating that it couldn't be anything good, so it didn't want to pay any attention to her.

Nuannuan didn't mind not getting a reply and pointed at the menu in her hand with the fly swatter.

"Can't we really change this price?"

The menu is simple and easy to understand.

Golden Fried Rice, 30/50/70 (small/medium/large portion).

Mapo tofu, 50 yuan.

Sour plum juice, 30 yuan.

That's all.

The huge menu only had these three items.

As a menu item, it's rather bleak, so bleak that every time I see it, I can't help but want to shed tears.

"Also, do you think it's reasonable for a restaurant like ours to only have this much food?"

[Existence is its own justification. System settings cannot be changed. We hope the host will not slack off and will upgrade as soon as possible to unlock more menus and functions.]

"..."

Unable to bear it any longer, Wen Nuan rolled her eyes.

Can't we be reasonable? Is she just shirking her work?

A small portion of fried rice costs at most ten or twenty yuan elsewhere, but you insist on selling it for 30!

They dare to sell such a simple Mapo Tofu for 50!

As for the sour plum drink, needless to say, at that price, anyone would call it a "rip-off" before leaving.

Where would there be customers?

All I can say to this is, "Too many complaints, no words to say!"

She wouldn't have done such a shady business if it weren't for the need to survive.

"Little Six, how much longer do I have to live?"

[Health Points: 1 days, 11 hours, 30 minutes]

"What?" Wen Nuan jumped up from her chair. "Wasn't there seven days left until discharge? How come there's only one day left?"

Wen Nuan suddenly felt as if she could see her deceased great-grandmother waving to her, and a sense of crisis immediately arose.

"You old bastard, confess honestly, did you steal my life points?!"

【…】

996 must be wishing she had a physical body right now, otherwise she would at least roll her eyes at her.

[Host, allow me to remind you, since opening the shop, you haven't sold a single item yet]

It would have been better if it hadn't said anything, because once it mentioned warmth, it jumped even higher.

"Am I not trying to do a good job? I can't offer discounts or lower prices. Only a fool would come to eat such expensive food!"

"Boss, is there any food left?"

Before the words were finished, a voice suddenly came from inside, and the warmth of her last words still echoed in the empty store.

I looked up and met the eyes of the customer at the door; the atmosphere suddenly became quiet...

"Hehehe, welcome!"

Wen Nuan chuckled twice, pretending nothing had happened, and warmly greeted him.

"What would you two like to eat? This is our menu."

The man and woman standing at the door were probably a young couple. At this moment, the girl standing behind the boy glanced at the shabby shop and showed obvious disdain in her eyes. She then slapped her boyfriend's arm.

"I told you we went the wrong way. You should have turned left at that intersection, but you insisted on turning right, and now we're in this crappy place."

With the boss still standing in front of him, the guy felt a little embarrassed by his girlfriend's undisguised disdain and gave her a warm, apologetic smile.

With a professional smile on her face, Wen Nuan indicated that she didn't care at all. She was determined not to let two customers leave since they had finally come.

She's going to die if she doesn't open for business soon. It's just a few words, what's the big deal?

A warm smile on one's face is a powerful weapon, even if the guy feels he has absolutely no intention of betraying his girlfriend.

He couldn't help but blush when he looked at the shop owner's beauty, but then he felt that it was very impolite, so he turned to comfort his girlfriend to cover it up.

"An'an, we've been searching for so long and finally found a shop. Let's grab something to eat first. Didn't you say you were hungry a while ago?"

After the boy comforted her for a few minutes, the girl named An'an took out a tissue and wiped the wooden table and chairs under her two or three times before reluctantly sitting down.

This gesture made the boy nod apologetically to Wen Nuan, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

In his opinion, the shop was just a little small and simply decorated, but it looked clean and tidy, and the tables and chairs didn't have a trace of grease. It was definitely not as exaggerated as his girlfriend had made it out to be.

"Is this all you have? And it's so expensive? Are you a rip-off?"

The boy turned his head and saw his girlfriend holding the menu and yelling, her eyes full of disbelief and a hint of reproach.

The boy glanced at the menu in his girlfriend's hand, puzzled, and frowned.

This price...

In response, Wen Nuan gave a professional smile and said softly.

"Our store is newly opened, so the menu is a bit simple for now. We're really sorry."

He paused for a moment, then continued speaking.

"As for the price... we guarantee that you will get more than your money's worth, and you will not regret eating here."

Wen Nuan appeared calm on the surface, but in her heart she had cursed the 996 work schedule a hundred times.

She probably said she'd get called a shady shop, right?

She could only pray that these two guests wouldn't leave like the others; her health was already critically low...

Warmth rolled her eyes and looked at the angry girl.

"If you two feel the food is not good after you finish eating, it's not worth the price. We'll waive the bill and charge you absolutely nothing!"

[Host, the dimensional restaurant does not allow free meals; doing so will deduct your health points!]

A stern voice from the system echoed in her mind, but given the presence of the guest in front of her, Wen Nuan could only respond to it in her heart.

"Don't be so nervous. It's all part of the strategy. Relax, relax."

Sure enough, after hearing her words, the girl hesitated and glanced at her boyfriend.

"An'an, how about we try eating first?"

Xu Anqing stomped on her boyfriend's foot under the table, and when she saw his face contort in pain, she snorted.

Don't think she doesn't know what this person is thinking; she's just attracted to the boss's good looks.

If she hadn't known her boyfriend was all talk and no action, she would have taught him a lesson!

After tidying up her boyfriend, she turned to look at Wen Nuan standing to the side and raised her chin.

"Then give us one of each of these three dishes. We'll have a small portion of the golden fried rice. If it's not good, we absolutely won't pay."

In Xu Anqing's opinion, the boss was a fool; whether the food was good or not depended entirely on her opinion.

Even if she finishes the whole thing, what can that person do to her if she says it's not good?

Free food is free, so why not take advantage of it!

"Alright, please wait a moment, the dishes will be served shortly."

Wen Nuan could tell what she was thinking at a glance, but she didn't care and turned to go into the kitchen behind her.

Seeing that she had left, Xu Anqing gave her boyfriend a warning look.

"You can only say it's not tasty, understand? Otherwise, I'm not letting you off the hook!"

Although he didn't approve of his girlfriend's approach, the boy obediently nodded, determined not to provoke her at such a time.

Xu Anqing nodded in satisfaction, then took out her phone to take a few more photos of the store and the menu, and started tapping on her phone.

"Hmph, what a rip-off! I'm definitely going to expose you!"
