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

Xuanxiao lowered his eyes, completely unconcerned about the person's vigilance. With a flick of his wrist, a spirit stone appeared in his palm.

However, Chu Ze noticed that this spirit stone was different from the spirit stones they had received before.

Compared to those pure white spirit stones, this spirit stone seemed more translucent, with a flowing light inside, as if there were stars shining.

"What is this? It's so beautiful."

The sudden sound startled Chu Ze, and when he turned around, he found someone clinging to his back, peering at the spirit stone.

"You walk without making a sound?"

Trying to ignore the heat emanating from behind him and the unique fragrance of someone else, Chu Ze spoke in an annoyed tone.

Wen Nuan slapped the person on the back, "You were staring too intently, weren't you!"

While the two were bickering, Xuanxiao seemed oblivious to the two people standing in front of him, leisurely sipping his soup with the spirit stone beside him.

Only after the two people in front of him finished speaking did he put down the bowl and push the spirit stones forward.

"Shopkeeper, I want to buy ingredients from your store."

For the Qingyun Sword Sect, these pure, unadulterated spiritual foods are definitely a great opportunity for their disciples to advance.

"This is a spirit crystal, produced in the center of the spiritual vein of heaven and earth. As long as it is placed in a fixed location and nourished by it, in time, it can be used to obtain another spiritual vein mine."

"Is there such a good thing?"

Warm eyes lit up. Isn't this thing just like a treasure trove? It can produce lots of spirit stones, and spirit stones are just small change, right?

Her hands were itching to touch it, and she couldn't resist in the end. She secretly reached out and touched it, and Chu Ze rolled his eyes at her greedy look.

"However, it's a real pity that we don't sell our ingredients to the public, we only sell finished products."

She appeared calm on the surface, but inside she was crying her eyes out.

It wasn't that she didn't want to sell, but the system stipulated that restaurants could only sell dishes; other methods were out of the question.

Moreover, the dishes are always freshly cooked, so they don't need to cook them themselves. Where do they get their ingredients?

Xuanxiao frowned. If he hadn't seen through the genuine longing for spirit crystals in Wen Nuan's eyes, he would have thought she was lying to him.

He originally thought he could bring some spiritual plants back with him, so that people could cultivate more spiritual plants.

But since this path is no longer feasible...

Xuanxiao looked up, his gaze calm.

“In that case, I can also directly purchase these spiritual foods and pay with this spiritual crystal.”

Wen Nuan, who thought it was hopeless, was surprised by the unexpected turn of events and nodded hurriedly.

"Yes, yes, Immortal Venerable, how much would you like to purchase?"

Xuanxiao frowned. He had never cared about sect affairs, nor had he ever done purchasing work, let alone knew how much spirit food to exchange for this spirit crystal.

"Shopkeeper, what do you think would be a suitable amount for this spirit crystal?"

Hearing this, Wen Nuan's heart skipped a beat. Was he testing her?

She had thought that someone as ethereal and otherworldly as him wouldn't understand these complicated matters.

Surprisingly, he wasn't exactly an easy person to deal with either!

If the amount she says is different from the amount he has in mind, will this big order fall through again?

Thinking this, Wen Nuan's gaze towards Xuan Xiao instantly conveyed the meaning of "I misjudged you".

Xuanxiao: ? ? ?

Not understanding why the shopkeeper was looking at him like that, the true idiot of life, the immortal, looked somewhat adorably clueless for a moment...

Seeing that the other person was just looking at her quietly, that familiar sense of oppression returned. Wen Nuan gritted her teeth and made a gesture with her hand.

"I'll give you one serving of each dish, no more than that!"

Wen Nuan put on a pained expression, as if she had suffered a great loss.

But it is indeed quite a lot. The restaurant now has 15 dishes, each served in portions, which adds up to 15 portions.

Xuanxiao was slightly taken aback at the prospect of exchanging so much money, then nodded, "Okay."

Then place a storage bag on top, "The shopkeeper can put it in here later."

"make a deal!"

The buyer was satisfied, the seller was satisfied, and the transaction was successfully completed.

Before leaving, Xuanxiao gave the spirit crystal to Wen Nuan in advance.

This operation completely baffled Wen Nuan. The goods hadn't even been delivered yet, and she already had the money? Wasn't she afraid that Wen Nuan would abscond with the money?

Xuanxiao only glanced at her indifferently at her question, as if to say something.

You can try it.

Wen Nuan immediately chuckled and said she was just joking, then respectfully saw the person out with a fawning expression, wiping the sweat from her forehead as she turned around.

I'm living in constant fear every day.

Playing with the spirit crystal in her hand, Wen Nuan cherished it as if it were a rare treasure, but suddenly the voice of 996 echoed in her mind.

[Congratulations, host, on completing the hidden gold mission: For each dish sold, you will be rewarded with 1 gold lottery ticket and +100 days of health.]

Wen Nuan was stunned for a moment, her first reaction was, "Isn't the transaction not yet completed?"

[Based on the system's calculations, this transaction is guaranteed to be completed, and the profits have already been credited to the account in advance. The system has determined that the task is now complete.]

Finally realizing what had happened, Nuan was overjoyed and went into a frenzy.

"Aaaaaaah, I've been rewarded with 100 days of life! That's awesome!"

She's finally survived for more than half a year! No reward is as meaningful as this!

Thankfully, the restaurant was already closed, otherwise it would have scared away countless diners.

Overjoyed, Mr. Wen ran up to his two employees, wanting to share his happiness with them, and gave them a bear hug.

Ludwig, the first one to be hugged, did not resist at all, accepted the hug readily, and generously hugged her back.

"Congratulations, Nuannuan! How about we celebrate with a nice meal tonight?"

"Uh-huh!"

Overjoyed, Mr. Wen didn't hear what he was saying at all; he just nodded.

Then she skipped over to another employee and raised her hand to give him the same hug.

Chu Ze looked at the warmth in front of him, his body tensed instantly, but for some reason he did not dodge.

Finally, just as Wen Nuan was about to bump into Chu Ze, she suddenly braked, slapped her forehead, and looked at him with a smile.

"I almost forgot, you're not used to this kind of contact, sorry."

Then he changed the hug to a pat on the shoulder, inwardly praising himself for being such a considerate boss.

Chu Ze, "..."

You will not live if you do your own thing!

These words suddenly came to mind, and his expression became somewhat strange.

Ludwig watched their movements, his lowered eyes full of amusement.

That person really brought this on themselves!

Just as Wen Nuan was about to take a step back, she suddenly felt a tug in front of her, and then she felt herself being hugged, and heard a somewhat stiff voice above her head.

"Today's situation is special, so we can make an exception this time."

Wen Nuan was stunned for a moment, only to find that the person holding her was as stiff as a stone, which made her chuckle.

Before she could even raise her hand, she was suddenly pushed away by this person.

"I'll go prepare the celebratory dishes..."

After saying that, he turned around quickly. Wen Nuan only had time to see the person's back and two ears that were red and bleeding.

"puff!"

Unable to contain herself, Wen Nuan covered her lips and laughed, deliberately lowering her voice to avoid being overheard and mortified by someone.

Behind her, the blonde angel looked towards the kitchen, her eyes narrowing slightly.

This is tricky, but it seems like I'm starting to get it...
