--black market--

"Boss Yan, as of today, no fewer than five thousand people have inquired about the spiritual food. The customer service center is a bit overwhelmed."

Yan Zhen sat on the leather sofa, a pipe between his fingers, the leaves and spices burning slowly inside.

A cloud of smoke rose in front of her, but her expression remained calm.

"Recruit a few more part-time college students. When people ask about the spiritual food, tell them it's confidential. A batch of spiritual food will be released slowly at the auction. Just inform users with Black Crystal or higher."

Liu Hong nodded. She had only recently been promoted and was still somewhat unfamiliar with the work of a secretary. She looked at the remaining amount of spiritual food with some doubt:

"This fellow Daoist Hong hasn't been to the black market for a while now. I hope she hasn't broken her promise."

Liu Hong was curious about the redwood that provided the spiritual food. She hadn't seen it for a long time and wondered if this person would ever come to the black market again.

"We won't breach the contract. It's the college entrance exam season right now, and everyone is busy."

Yan Zhen's words were vague, and Liu Hong only half understood them but didn't ask any more questions. She quietly left the room.

As soon as she left the room, she went straight to the testing facility:

"Xiaoqing, do you have any news about redwood?"

"No, this is the seventh time you've asked me this month. What, are all the spiritual foods sold out?"

"They're not all sold out yet. I'm just wondering why they haven't come back after almost half a month. It's strange."

"There's nothing strange about it; everyone has their own things to do."

"That's true, but recently there have been too many people coming to ask for spiritual food. A lot of people from other places have come to our district."

……

Zhang San cultivated while watching the college entrance examination live stream, unlike Liu Hong.

Zhang San wasn't too worried about Jiang He, who had been missing for so long.

Previously, Zhang San had guessed that the owner of the "restaurant that risked his sword-cultivation career" might be a high school student, just like Ge Ge from AAA Tomato Wholesaler, since Ge Ge looked like one.

In particular, these two disappeared during the college entrance examination and reappeared after it ended.

This makes it hard for Zhang San not to suspect that the two disappeared during the time of the college entrance examination.

The restaurant owner had previously provided him with a batch of wolf-tooth potatoes, which successfully made his business famous throughout China.

Zhang San thought that when Jiang He reappeared, he would definitely try to curry favor with her, since recently a wealthy tycoon had come to him to inquire about the Wolf Fang Potatoes.

This surprised Zhang San greatly.

With Jiang He gone, it wasn't just Liu Hong and Zhang San who missed her; Shangguan Linghu, who had just conquered the ninth level, also missed Jiang He quite a bit.

She would open the StarNet almost every day, then rush to the "restaurant where a swordsman's career is staked" and scan it thoroughly before returning home without regret.

Guan Linghu still fondly remembers the taste of the milk tea and was waiting for the restaurant to add it, but unexpectedly the owner disappeared.

Zhang Qi, Shen Quan, and others who had purchased dishes from Jiang He's shop shared the same sentiment. They had been eagerly awaiting new products for almost half a month, but the shop had yet to release any.

Meanwhile, some bloggers who claimed they would review the dishes at Jianghe Restaurant were so anxious they were practically bubbling with impatience. They had already posted announcements on Weibo, but they still hadn't bought the food. What a mess!

Jiang He's shop received many more private messages, all asking about new arrivals.

[Request for contact information for the owner of the restaurant "The Restaurant Where I Risk My Swordsmanship". It's been so many days, why haven't they added any new dishes yet? Are they not even making money?]

I've been waiting here for days, it feels like the shop owner has vanished into thin air.

I just watched Tyrannosaurus Warrior's livestream. As a newbie, I came here happily begging for food, but when I found out the shop owner hadn't been open for several days, I felt like the sky had fallen.

@Shop owner, I'm hungry, I need food!

Acting cute didn't work; I feel like this is just a deliberate attempt to create scarcity.

@Shop owner, hurry up and update your inventory! If you don't, half of your customers will leave.

The shop owner is really laid-back.

They don't add new products or open new stores. Do you know how I feel watching their live streams every day? I feel like this restaurant's existence is just pure torture...torture for my stomach, waaaaah!

Is the shop owner dead?

I think they might be a student at a university; it's normal for students to be busy with their studies.

No way, college students are so naive and naive, I don't think they'd pass up money.

That's actually quite possible.

Um, could you please consider how I, a college student, feel?

I think the shop owner is most likely the one who got scammed.

A flood of private messages poured into the restaurant's back-end system.

Meanwhile, Jiang He, who was being talked about by these people, was still happily collecting her spoils.

So many Grade A crystal cores! We've struck it rich! We've struck it rich!

Perhaps because so many people were talking about her, Jiang He's ears turned slightly red, and she sneezed for no apparent reason.

"Strange, who's talking bad about me?"

Jiang He muttered a couple of things, then asked why he had come closer:

"That's a lot. Your sister Jiang Yaoyi might be talking badly about you right now."

Why bother thinking about Jiang Yaoyi, who was targeting Jiang He at every turn that day? She said half-jokingly.

Jiang He nodded. That's true. Besides Jiang Yaoyi, Jiang Xiazhu might also be talking behind her back. After returning to the Jiang family, apart from Jiang Hua, it seems that everyone else in the Jiang family is quite hostile towards her.

However, Jiang He didn't care. Sometimes, if the money was right, for example, if they could throw ten million at her while they were insulting her, Jiang He said she could accept it gladly.

After the maze dungeon ended and they defeated the Orchid Mantis, Helian Xueyue's team could no longer follow Jiang He and the others.

Helian Fenghua tried several times to shamelessly follow them, but Helian Xueyue stopped her each time.

Team B52 has both military strength and strategic acumen, so cooperating with them would be a win for the Helian family. However, if they continue to seek cooperation from the weaker party, the cooperating team will definitely become impatient.

Helian Xueyue will not diminish their friendship. After this battle, they can arrange to play dungeons together after the college entrance examination. The Helian family will provide the resources, which can be considered an equal cooperation.

Jiang He, Helian Fenghua, and Helian Xueyue waved goodbye.

Having already used one of the strategy pouches, the six headed towards the map in the second strategy pouch after the maze dungeon was unlocked.

With the first map of the dungeon, Jiang He guessed the name of the mountain range, making it much easier to find the location of the second brocade pouch.

Jin Dazhu woke up after the Orchid Mantis was completely wiped out. He felt guilty for dragging the team down, but when he saw that the team score was over 20,000, he could no longer feel guilty.

His small slits of eyes slowly widened.

Kim Daejoo's eyes were wide open, filled with disbelief:

"So many points, Mom! I'm so proud of myself!"

Overjoyed, Jin Dazhu was carried to victory and even received several A-grade crystal cores. He felt embarrassed because he hadn't participated in the battle. His powerful teammate carried him to victory, and while he had contributed his efforts, he naturally had to contribute money.
