The rising sun shone down on the houses in Chaos City, gilding the domed and pointed roofs of the houses with a layer of golden sand. The torrential rain had washed the entire city clean, and there were still sparkling and translucent water droplets hanging from the leaves of the trees beside the streets. There was a refreshing smell in the air.
The last hint of summer's heat had been completely doused by the heavy rain, and the coolness of autumn had officially arrived. Everyone who opened their doors had bright smiles on their faces, and their moods seemed to have improved because of the pleasant weather.
Meg pulled up the blinds, and the sunlight shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto his chef's suit, illuminating the smile on his face.
His super regenerative abilities had almost healed the wound on his left hand overnight, and he had bandaged it again when he got up in the morning. His chef's suit had completely healed.
"Ding! The system has issued a new mission. Please open a branch restaurant of your own within five days. There are no restrictions on the location or size of the branch, but it must be a food-themed restaurant. If the mission is successful, you will receive a chance to spin the 'God of Cookery promotion wheel', and there is a 100% chance that you will win. "
"Open a branch restaurant?" Meg raised an eyebrow, and pondered for a moment before saying, "Aren't you being a little too hasty? I can open a branch restaurant, but the facilities should be included in the mission reward, right? Renovations, and all kinds of facilities. Otherwise, how can I open a barbecue stall in five days? "
"Barbecue stalls are an important part of China's supper scene, and they are enough to support an independent restaurant. I don't think there's anything wrong with your idea," the system replied in a serious manner.
"System, you might have some misconceptions about the concept of a branch restaurant. Most of the time, a restaurant will choose to open a branch restaurant because the restaurant's business is very good, and the restaurant has the spare capacity to expand its business. Mamy's business and customer flow have reached the requirements for a branch restaurant, but all of the dishes in the restaurant have to be handled by me, especially the beef kebabs. Without a lot of practice, there's no way that you can make beef kebabs that are as delicious as mine. You're asking me to open a barbecue stall right now; isn't that neglecting the essentials? Mamy's business will be severely impacted. "Meg's brows furrowed.
"This is indeed a problem, but as a system, if I keep issuing unchallenging problems, wouldn't it make me look like a lowly person? This will make me unable to raise my head in front of the other systems and become their laughingstock. Do you know how it feels to have a bunch of people yelling at you to leave the group every day? "The system was silent for a while before crying out in grief and indignation.
"Although I do sympathize with you, I'm sorry. This is not within the scope of what I need to know. Acting tough is something that emanates from the inside out. Some people are destined to not be able to act tough. This is life, just like you, system." Meg shrugged.
"Nonsense! The System was created by the Heavenly Axiom. It has all the culinary recipes of Earth for the past three thousand years. At the same time, it has dabbled in all the civilizations on Earth. It has extremely high attainments in science, history, mathematics, physics, and so on. The System can create everything independently. Such an omnipotent culinary system, why isn't it awesome? Which of those Systems that rely on talent dare to say that they are better than me? "The System said unhappily.
"System, how much are the lollipops?" Meg suddenly asked.
"0.5 copper coins for one. Starting from two. Buy ten and you get two free." The System replied naturally.
"See, this is the difference between you and other systems." Meg rolled his eyes and said, "I've never seen a system that sells lollipops."
"Emmm …" The System fell into an awkward silence.
"Okay, now let's talk about the renovation. I can provide the storefront myself, but due to the tedious and inefficient renovation in the other world, it will lower the restaurant's status. Therefore, you have to provide the renovation, and I will pay for it." Meg broke the silence.
"How much budget does the host have?" The System immediately asked.
"Not much, at most 1000 gold coins." Meg shook his head and said.
"What kind of storefront does the host want to renovate? How big is the area? How much kitchen utensils do you need? The specific price can only be determined after an evaluation. If it's only 1000 gold coins, it will only be enough for a simple renovation without any kitchenware. "The System said without hesitation.
"Anyway, I can only take out 1000 gold coins now. That's the upper limit. Since it's a branch, it must meet the operating standards. If it doesn't have kitchenware, it can't be considered a complete and normal branch at all. You can decide for yourself." Meg said a little scoundrel, "A 30-square-meter ice cream shop. I need two ice cream machines. It's best that the renovation has some ice and snow characteristics. If it's too ugly, I won't pay."
"1000 gold coins is too little. How about a little more?" The System said with some hesitation.
"Don't think I don't know the market price. Mobai only spent less than 1,000 gold coins to rebuild the shop. Now, we're only renovating a small 30-square-meter ice cream shop, so 1,000 gold coins is more than enough for us to hire dwarven craftsmen. We can even buy two more ice cream machines with that amount of money," Mag said in a lazy manner.
After a moment of silence, the System gritted its teeth and said, "Alright, 1000 gold coins to complete the renovation of the ice cream shop and two fully automatic ice cream machines."
"Alright, system. Aside from the renovation, I also want to talk to you about the ice cream set. Although four flavors of ice cream are already quite rich, a themed dessert shop that specializes in ice cream with only four flavors seems a little too monotonous. So, I was wondering if you could open up the recipe for the other flavors of the ice cream set to me?" Meg continued with a serious expression.
"The System can put the 'open up the recipe for the remaining ice cream set to the prize wheel. You will have a chance of receiving it after completing the mission," the System said.
"Alright." Meg nodded and turned to the kitchen. He began to prepare the ingredients needed for the morning's opening.
"Host … That … Do you still want lollipops? Buy 10 lollipops and get two free. It's a profit! "the System said in a weak voice.
"Piss off." Meg raised an eyebrow. In any case, the System would never be able to act cool in this lifetime.
