The long line at the entrance of the crayfish restaurant had already stretched very far before the dinner service started. These crayfish, which cost 100 copper coins each, had already become the most popular delicacy on Carapace Island. Even the war between the abyss demons and the flaming tribe, and the Ten Kings Palace, which was extremely busy, didn't affect everyone's love for crayfish at all.
A glass of cold beer and a plate of crayfish had already become the latest and most stylish way to gather on Carapace Island.
The demons who were usually arrogant and bad-tempered seemed to have restrained their bad-tempered personalities consciously here. Firstly, it was because the lady boss here was even more bad-tempered than them, and the stool in her hand was so powerful that it was unreasonable. Secondly, everyone seemed to have some sort of tacit understanding. Enjoying the delicious food in a restaurant like this was the most basic form of respect for delicacies.
"The area covered by the crayfish's reputation — Carapace Island — has been reached. The area covered is 30 kilometers." The system's notification sounded in Meg's mind.
"System, your calculation method isn't quite right. Many of the customers who came to the crayfish restaurant these few days came from other islands, and it seems to be expanding rapidly. It shouldn't be categorized as Carapace Island, right?" Meg raised his brow. He estimated that there would be over 1,000 demons tonight, and his 10 apprentices had already graduated. He was preparing to return to Chaos City, but according to the system's calculation, his mission wasn't completed yet.
"The number of customers from other islands is indeed on the rise these few days, but the base number is still small. Furthermore, it hasn't established a strong enough influence in other regions, and the customers haven't developed the habit of eating crayfish yet. Therefore, the area covered is still limited to Carapace Island," the system answered.
Meg frowned. The system's words made sense. He thought for a while, and said, "Oh, right. A gourmet called Tony wrote a special article for crayfish yesterday. System, can you assess what kind of impact this article will have after it's released? Can it create a craze for eating crayfish?"
"Tony is a renowned food critic, and the most renowned food critic on the Demon Islands. He has the title of 'No One Knows Seafood Better Than Him', and he has a huge number of fans on the Demon Islands and the Norland Continent. All of the food that he has written about will become a hot topic in a short period of time.
If he writes a special article about crayfish and publishes it in all the major gourmet magazines, there's a high probability that it will cause a craze for crayfish consumption, and bring in a blowout of Ayi Crayfish Restaurant, "the system commented.
"I didn't expect him to be a powerful VIP." Meg raised his eyebrows and was a little surprised. He then smiled and said, "Then, with such traffic and influence, it definitely covers a range of 300 kilometers. Since the influence has been achieved, my mission should be completed, right?"
The system was silent for a while, then it said, "According to the system's calculation, the influence of this gourmet article has reached the goal of promoting the consumption of crayfish and turning it into a trend. After conversion, it can offset the influence of 300 square kilometers to cover the mission option. Mission option achieved!"
"Crayfish catching mission progress: 62/50, achieved!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host. You've completed the crayfish catching mission. You've received the title of Crayfish Hunter and 0.5 physical strength point as a reward! "
Meg glanced at the shiny title of Crayfish Hunter in his mind and directly swept it aside. His eyes lit up as he looked at the physical strength point.
Finally, he received another physical strength point!
As long as he absorbed this 0.5 physical strength point and survived the lightning punishment, he would officially break through to Level 9. He was only one step away from returning to his peak state.
After living together with Irina, he increasingly felt the importance of being powerful.
If he wasn't powerful enough, his wife wouldn't listen to him!
When would he be able to lie there like a big boss and watch Irina walk over with a smile while using her slender hands to wash his feet …
"What are you thinking about?" Irina appeared beside him out of nowhere and patted his shoulder.
"Washing my feet." Meg, who was immersed in his imagination, blurted out. He opened his eyes and met Irina's smiling eyes. His heart instantly thumped a few times, and he cursed in his heart.
"You want me to wash your feet?" Irina asked with a smile. She looked at Meg's eyes as if she could see through his thoughts.
"How is that possible? I'm just reflecting on the fact that I didn't wash your feet well enough last time. There's still room for improvement." Meg shook his head with a serious face.
"If that's the case, it's okay. I can give you another chance." Irina smiled sweetly and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you to wash my feet tonight."
"Okay." Meg's smile had a hint of bitterness. What could he do? He had created this sin himself, and he still had to swallow this bitter fruit himself.
"By the way, I'm going out tonight. Will Ah Zi come over?" Irina asked again.
"Mm-hmm. I told it yesterday that I've prepared something delicious for it today." Meg nodded. He looked at her, and asked, "Are you going to Destruction Island?"
"No, it's another place. I went to Fel Island in the afternoon, and confirmed that there's a stronghold where elves are being held captive. I plan to kill those scum tonight, and then rescue my people and bring them back to Chaos City." Irina shook her head. Although her expression was still calm, her tone was exceptionally cold.
"Alright, I'll go with you tonight." Meg nodded with a solemn expression.
He had once exterminated a stronghold of demons with Amy who hunted wandering elves. He knew how evil those fellows were, and also understood the kind of torture and pain the elves had to endure in such a place.
"Mm-hmm." Irina nodded, and did not refuse.
"Oh, right. System, what happens if someone tries to stop the process when I'm struck by lightning?" Meg suddenly asked curiously in his mind.
"Then he'll suffer a backlash that's several times stronger. This magnitude is related to the intensity of his intervention. The greater the intervention, the greater the backlash," the system answered. After that, it warned him sternly, "Host, please do not try to use external forces to resist the lightning. If the lightning doesn't go through your body, it won't stimulate your cells to upgrade and reorganize, and you won't be able to recover your strength and level up."
"I know that." Meg understood, but the corners of his lips curled up. Seems like I've wasted a lot of good opportunities in the past. This time, I have to find a good place to transcend my tribulation.
"After we're done with that stronghold tonight, let's make another trip to Fear Island and talk to Barr Hill," Meg said to Irina.
"Hmm?" Irina looked at Meg in surprise. They had made a trip to Fear Island the night before, but they had to give up the plan because they were outnumbered.
"I have an idea. Maybe we can give it a try," Meg said with a smile.
