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

When Zhao Feng heard his former leader call out to the "warm-hearted young lady," he broke out in a cold sweat.

What little girl? This is a little fairy!

However, Wen Nuan didn't like being called that, so she settled for calling him "boss".

Zhao Feng whispered a few words in the old leader's ear, and then saw Zhou Chong's surprised gaze sweep over.

Wen Nuan was still in a daze when Chu Ze stepped forward and gently tugged at her, which brought her back to her senses.

Looking at the familiar face in front of her, Wen Nuan finally calmed down and understood.

This wasn't the Commander Zhou she knew.

But she originally thought it was just a simple mission world and didn't take it too seriously; her goal was simply to complete the mission.

It wasn't until she saw Zhou Chong that she realized this might be a world like Earth, or more accurately, a parallel world.

So... will there be an older brother or a younger sister in this world?

Slightly dazed, Wen Nuan smiled at Zhou Chong and the others, "Sorry, I mistook you for someone else. Please come in, everyone, and we'll talk inside."

Zhou Chong frowned and followed him into the restaurant.

The little girl's expression just now didn't seem like a simple case of mistaken identity.

Moreover, he heard it clearly: the young girl called him Commander Zhou, and she knew his rank clearly, so she must really know him.

But he searched through his memory and couldn't find where he had seen her before.

With such an outstanding appearance, he would never forget her if he had seen her somewhere before.

The group followed Wen Nuan into the restaurant and sat down at several tables.

Zhou Chong spoke first, a slight smile on his haggard face.

"I heard that it was President Wen who saved the people of the base during this mutated creature attack. On behalf of the country, I thank President Wen for his help."

Wen Nuan looked at Zhou Chong with a complicated expression, but still shook her head. "No need to be polite, it was just a small favor."

smoothly?

These words made those who came with Zhou Chong turn their heads in surprise.

They had heard that hundreds of mutated creatures were attacking the city, and even their base would have to pay a considerable price to defend it.

But they heard that the girl in front of them had single-handedly repelled hundreds of mutated creatures.

But the other person actually said it was just something they did on a whim?

How did he manage to do that so smoothly?

I wonder if they could learn from this...

Zhou Chong was also taken aback, a hint of admiration appearing in his eyes.

Both publicly and privately, he hopes there will be more people like Wen Nuan, who are both capable and compassionate.

In this apocalyptic world, it can also give people a little more hope.

"We came here because we heard that Boss Wen has enough food, and we'd like to exchange some more, but we don't know..."

“Sure.” Wen Nuan nodded readily. “I can give you the discount that Captain Zhao gave you before. I can give you as much as you want.”

"That's wonderful!" Zhou Chong smiled gratefully at Wen Nuan and then asked.

"I wonder if we could use the original ingredients instead?"

This makes it easier to save and also makes it easier for them to make arrangements later.

Wen Nuan shook her head with difficulty, "I'm sorry, our store can only sell finished products, not provide ingredients."

She can't do functions that the system doesn't have.

"But aren't the ingredients simpler? Why..."

Someone nearby couldn't help but speak up, but before they could finish, Zhou Chong raised his hand to stop them, then turned to Wen Nuan and smiled.

"It's okay, then we'll just buy the finished product."

Although it's a little more troublesome, in this day and age, we should be content with having food.

Wen Nuan breathed a sigh of relief. "However, I can provide you with the tools you need to carry, consider it a free gift."

He took out a spatial button, demonstrated how to operate it, and then handed it to Zhou Chong amidst the surprised gazes of the crowd.

Looking at the small, button-like gadget in his hand, Zhou Chong couldn't hide his surprise.

Looking again into that warm gaze, there was a hint of inquiry and deeper meaning.

Even if he were completely ignorant, he would know that this was something that current technology simply couldn't achieve.

Where did this little girl and this magical restaurant come from?

Meeting his gaze, Wen Nuan neither flinched nor avoided it, her eyes filled with indifference.

She wasn't afraid of these people's suspicions; as long as she didn't say anything, no one could guess where she came from.

Her composure surprised Zhou Chong, who then smiled.

He was overthinking it. How could someone with such composure be someone with ulterior motives?

"Thank you for the gift, Mr. Wen. We were worried that with only one space-type ability user, we wouldn't be able to bring back more food."

The official base has the largest population, and the amount of food it needs to consume every day is enormous.

Moreover, the shortage is huge. They brought all their belongings with them this time, just so they could take as much food back as possible.

He gestured, and one of the people behind Zhou Chong stepped forward.

With a wave of his hand, several large boxes appeared on the ground.

Wen Nuan sized up the person and guessed that this must be the space-type ability user that Zhou Chong had mentioned.

Having your own space without relying on anything else is so much more convenient than hers. I'm so envious!

Ludwig, who was sitting next to him, casually opened a box at his feet.

The box full of glittering crystal cores almost dazzled my eyes.

There were ten large boxes in total, filled with crystal cores of various attributes, and all of them were high-level crystal cores.

Nuan looked at the boxes in front of her, her eyes shining even brighter than the crystal cores inside.

He straightened up and said with a serious expression.

"Don't worry, I will definitely give you the best price, and the food will be of guaranteed quality and quantity. I will never cut corners!"

If this deal is finalized, her side quest will be a breeze!

Sure enough, no matter which country is on our side, our "father" is just that generous!

Therefore, Wen Nuan adopted her most proper attitude, ensuring that she looked professional.

Thanks to the discount given by Wen Nuan, Zhou Chong and his group had a much larger budget. Looking at the menu, the group couldn't help but swallow hard.

Then, with his "generous" spending, he declared that he wanted every single dish!

However, we need to order more of the high-calorie, filling dishes.

After the food was packed up, the space-type ability user stared in disbelief at the food that had been stuffed into his stomach.

Good heavens! With these, the base won't have to worry about food for at least several years.

This is really... wonderful. The space-type ability user happens to be a military officer. At this moment, his eyes couldn't help but well up with tears. Looking into the warm gaze, he was filled with gratitude.

After the transaction was completed, Zhou Chong and the others originally planned to leave immediately, but Wen Nuan persuaded them to stay on the grounds of thanking their important customer.

They also prepared several portions of various dishes, filling several tables to the brim.

"Please don't be shy, everyone. This meal is on me as a thank you for your generous spending at our restaurant."

Wen Nuan just saw it; even though these people were practically green with envy while packing food, not a single one of them stole a bite.

Looking at their thin and frail appearance, Wen Nuan couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

"Is this...isn't this bad?"

Zhou Chong hesitated. Logically speaking, they shouldn't have taken even a needle or thread from the masses.

But looking at the emaciated bodies of his soldiers, he couldn't bring himself to refuse.

Wen Nuan noticed his concerns and smiled, "Actually, I have some things I'd like to ask you. Consider this my consultation fee."

He paused, then added, "If you're not going to eat, then I'll feel bad asking."

How could Zhou Chong not know that she said that on purpose? The tall man's eyes couldn't help but well up with tears, and he finally agreed.

He may not eat, but his soldiers cannot.

"Mr. Wen, please feel free to ask us any questions. We will answer them to the best of our ability!"

Warmth opened and closed her mouth repeatedly, and it took her a long time to find her voice.

"I would like to ask... do you know someone... named Wen Yan?"
