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

Golden light shimmered in the restaurant, and a huge golden magic circle appeared on the ground.

With warm, expectant eyes, she looked at the center of the magic circle, secretly praying that someone obedient and capable would come.

Soon, a tall figure appeared at the center of the magic circle. As the light gradually faded, the figure inside became clearer.

Not only Wen Nuan, but the other two people also looked on with curiosity.

Until they could clearly see the figure in red...

warmth,"!!!"

Chu Ze, "???"

Ludwig, "Wow!"

"This...this is..."

Wen Nuan covered her mouth with one hand, looking in surprise at the gradually becoming clearer person, while slapping Chu Ze's arm with the other hand and saying urgently.

"Take a look, am I seeing things?"

Chu Ze was also full of surprise, and didn't even have time to pay attention to his numb arm. "...You didn't see wrong."

"Master..." Before Wen Nuan could even call out, the figure staggered and fell down. Ludwig, who was closest, quickly reached out and pulled the person back from the ground.

"Master!"

A gasp escaped his lips; there was no time to investigate why the Xuanxiao Immortal Venerable, who should be in the world of cultivation, would appear here.

Wen Nuan rushed over and, seeing her master with his eyes closed, realized something was wrong.

Master clearly had black hair, so why has it turned white now?

and also……

Wen Nuan reached out and sensed it, discovering that her master's spiritual energy was disordered and showing signs of depletion.

Her face was deathly pale, and her clothes were soaked in blood. Wen Nuan had thought the new shop assistant was wearing a red outfit, but it turned out she was dressed in blood.

"The new employee this time... is actually the Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao?"

Chu Ze squatted down next to Wen Nuan and looked at the unconscious man in surprise.

Wen Nuan pursed her lips, her expression somewhat helpless.

"How could Master be injured like this? With his cultivation level, who could possibly hurt him?"

Before they returned from the cultivation world, in order to descend the mountain smoothly, Wen Nuan had to lie and say that something had happened at home and she needed to go home.

At the time, her master did not suspect anything, but instead gave Wen Nuan many good things for her to protect herself.

Due to system limitations, Warmth cannot reveal anything about the restaurant to others while in the other world.

So she felt very guilty at the time, and she thought they would never see each other again in this life.

I never expected that we would meet again under these circumstances today.

He raised his hand and kept pouring spiritual energy into Xuanxiao Immortal Venerable's body, but for some unknown reason, the large amount of spiritual energy dissipated completely after entering his body, as if it had sunk into the sea without leaving any trace.

"What should we do? If this continues, Master will be in danger."

Wen Nuan looked worried, and Chu Ze frowned as well.

Wen Nuan's cultivation level is higher than his. If even she can't do it, then his actions will have the same result.

"Let me try."

Ludwig, who had been observing from the sidelines, raised his hand and chanted a spell. Golden light emerged from his hand and fell on Xuanxiao's body, instantly healing his wounds.

Wen Nuan watched from the side, annoyed that she had forgotten to treat her master's external injuries first.

After Ludwig stopped, Wen Nuan examined him again and said, "No, although the external injuries are fine, the depletion of spiritual energy has not improved."

how so……

Ludwig pondered for a moment, “Perhaps it’s because my magic is different from your spiritual energy system. Although healing spells are effective on him, they are only effective against external injuries.”

Unable to think of any other solution, Wen Nuan had no choice but to start calling for 996 (working from 9 am to 9 pm, 6 days a week).

"Little Six, come out and see what's going on!"

[Host, the selection of store clerks is random; their health conditions are unrelated to us.]

Just like when Chu Ze appeared last time, he was also injured, but Ludwig easily healed those injuries.

There was nothing Wen Nuan could do. With her master's cultivation level, if the spiritual energy were truly cut off, his cultivation would definitely regress significantly, and it might even damage his very foundation.

She absolutely cannot let that happen.

After calming down and thinking it over, Wen Nuan started to argue with the 996 work schedule.

"That's your problem. Since the reward is to draw a store employee, you should at least send over a perfectly intact one."

"Now that people have become like this, how am I supposed to get them to do things?"

But 996 didn't buy it at all; her mechanical voice was cold and unresponsive.

[Random situations cannot be guaranteed by the system.]

The implication is that whether you can be ordered around is none of their business.

At this moment, Wen Nuan wished she could drag 996 out and beat him up, but in the end she just gritted her teeth and patiently spoke in a conciliatory tone.

"Little Six, look, I've been working really hard on the tasks, right? Our restaurant is getting more and more popular now, isn't it?"

Those with a gut feeling that there was a trap here remained silent.

She silently clenched her fist and took a deep breath.

"6, look, you won't let us find outside help. The restaurant only has a few people. Even if you cut me into eight pieces, it wouldn't be enough."

"Now that we've finally got a new guy, could you please take care of his injuries? Otherwise, we'll have to dedicate someone to taking care of him every day, and then there will be even less work to do."

Warmth is just a powerful lie.

"A large group of customers will be arriving tomorrow. If our service is not up to par, they will definitely be disappointed with our restaurant and give us bad reviews. As a result, we will have fewer and fewer customers."

"With fewer customers in the restaurant, how can I complete tasks? How can I upgrade the restaurant?"

【…】

Seeing that 996 didn't refute her, Wen Nuan thought she had a chance and continued talking non-stop, acting as if she was doing it all for the good of the restaurant.

The reason I came up with this idea is because I vaguely noticed that the system seems to have some kind of obsession or insistence on upgrading the restaurant, as if they value the restaurant's upgrade very much.

Although Wen Nuan doesn't know the reason, she is now forced to be bound to the system and can only rely on the system to survive.

Thinking too much about things is pointless, so even though Wen Nuan noticed it, she didn't pay much attention.

They're only bringing this up now because they're desperate to save lives.

Sure enough, when it came to the possibility of affecting restaurant upgrades, 996 hesitated.

He remained silent for a long time before speaking.

I can save him, but the system's energy reserves are insufficient. To save him, the host needs to exchange 200 days of life points.

You heartless, unscrupulous merchant!

Wen Nuan tried her best not to curse out loud, but in her heart she cursed the 996 system and its ancestors for eighteen generations.

She's worked herself to the bone all this time, and she's only managed to accumulate a little over two hundred days' worth of life points.

If she's asked to give up 200 days right now, she'll only have a little over a month left!

If she doesn't do well on the next mission, she could easily kick the bucket!

Our boss Wen has always loved money, but he loves his life even more than money!

Looking at her master, who had a head of white hair and was extremely fragile, Wen Nuan began to have an internal struggle.

Actually, Master's external injuries are all healed. At most, when he wakes up, he will just be an ordinary person without cultivation. It's not a big deal, is it?

Then I thought again, my master is such a proud person. If he wakes up and finds that he has lost all his cultivation, will he be able to accept it?

Moreover, her master had been so good to her before. If she knew there was a way but didn't save her, she would probably feel guilty.

But two hundred days of health is a lot!

The little person with a warm heart was biting their handkerchief and sobbing, feeling like they were going to die from inner turmoil...
