After searching the souls of the four cultivators on the Wind Billow Star, Gu Zheng had a better understanding of the planet.
The four cultivators belonged to the Kunlun Sect on the Wind Billow Star. On this plane, the Kunlun Sect was still the leader of the righteous sects, and the Celestial Empire, which Kunlun belonged to, was still the country with the most cultivators on this plane.
The Wind Billow Star also had many cultivators from the Untainted Land, but compared to Earth, the number of cultivators on this plane was much higher! The biggest reason was that there was no war between the righteous and evil that could greatly reduce the number of cultivators on this plane. The righteous and evil sides were in a relatively peaceful phase for the time being, so the number of cultivators was naturally higher.
"The situation here is very similar to that on Earth. Where are you going to open your shop first?" The Tool Spirit asked Gu Zheng.
"Nearby! Completing 120 orders in three months. This mission is getting more and more difficult. "
Gu Zheng paused and then said, "How much are you going to set as the reward?"
"One hundred thousand!" The Tool Spirit said.
"One hundred thousand? Is there any room for change? "
Gu Zheng frowned. The material standard of living on the Wind Billow Star was very similar to that on Earth. If the reward was set at one hundred thousand, the threshold was really not low! In a big city, there might be many people who did not care about one hundred thousand, but Gu Zheng wanted to try to do the mission nearby. One hundred thousand was really not a small amount for people in a relatively remote area like Kunlun.
"There is no room for change at first, but if your business is bad a month later, then some details can be changed! After all, this mission is to test your cooking skills, not to make things difficult for you. "
Hearing the artifact spirit say so, Gu Zheng felt much more at ease.
Gu Zheng's first stop was Moyan City, which was outside the Kunlun Mountains. This was a place equivalent to a fourth-tier city on Earth.
In the Kunlun Mountains of the Wind Billow Star, there were as many as four sects of cultivators. They also had businesses in the mortal world in Moyan City. The first thing Gu Zheng wanted to do was to go to the place where they did business in the mortal world and exchange some currency of this plane.
The Wind Billow Star was also in the era of law, and the existence of cultivators was not a secret. Therefore, it was easy to find the Resource Pavilion opened by the Kunlun Sect in Moyan City. It was a three-story wooden retro building.
Upon entering the Resource Pavilion, someone immediately greeted Gu Zheng enthusiastically, asking if he wanted to buy or sell resources.
Gu Zheng took out a few crafting materials of high grades and exchanged them for eighty million galactic coins from the resource pavilion of Kunlun Sect. However, this process was not very fast. The Resource Pavilion was a business for immortal cultivators, and immortal cultivators rarely needed so much money from the mortal world.
Gu Zheng exchanged so much mortal currency. The person in charge of the Resource Pavilion also asked him what he needed the currency for and if there was anything he could do to help.
What Gu Zheng wanted to do next was naturally to rent a store in the city. Since the person in charge of the Resource Pavilion asked about this, Gu Zheng did not hide it. He only said that he wanted to open a restaurant. If the Kunlun Sect had an idle store in the downtown, they could also rent it to him.
The person in charge of the Resource Pavilion asked Gu Zheng not purely out of curiosity, but also because he wanted to make friends with Gu Zheng. After all, the quality of the resources Gu Zheng took out was good, and he did not bargain on the price. Obviously, he was a big customer.
The Kunlun Sect had a store in the downtown, but it was not the kind that was idle. However, in order to attract customers, the person in charge of the Resource Pavilion decided at that time that he would let people vacate the store in two hours, and at the same time help Gu Zheng with the formalities needed to do business in the mortal world as soon as possible.
Naturally, Gu Zheng would not treat the Resource Pavilion unfairly. He casually tossed over a piece of good quality refining material as rent and compensation for the Resource Pavilion's hard work. The person in charge of the Resource Pavilion was so happy that he thanked him profusely.
With someone helping to deal with trivial matters, the progress of opening the store became very fast. In almost half an hour, the Kunlun Sect's store in the downtown had been vacated.
Although the store was not big, the location was good. After Gu Zheng saw it, he was also quite satisfied.
"Master, although this was a restaurant before, the decorations are too bad. Do you need me to cast a spell to renovate this place?" Die Ling asked.
"Just make it tidy. Leave the other aspects as they are!"
Gu Zheng's original plan was to make this place antique, but after thinking about it carefully, he gave up on this plan.
This time, the business that Gu Zheng wanted to do was targeted at everyone. Immortal cultivators were a little better, as they wouldn't be too surprised when they saw some things. However, for mortals, Gu Zheng didn't want them to know that this was a shop opened by an immortal cultivator! If they knew that this was a store opened by an immortal cultivator, out of respect for immortal cultivators, Gu Zheng's business would be even more difficult.
"Master doesn't want mortals to know that this is a store opened by an immortal cultivator right?"
Facing Die Ling's question, Gu Zheng nodded his head.
"I feel like we can't hide it! The rules are really making master's business difficult. Why don't master discuss with sister and see if the rules can be changed? After all, once mortals know that this is a store opened by an immortal cultivator, it would be very difficult for mortals to come. "Die Ling shrugged her shoulders and smiled.
"Hide it for as long as possible! As for discussing with your sister, forget about it. She doesn't make the rules. "
Gu Zheng had already thought of many details. He also felt that he could not hide it for long. After all, mortals were not idiots. However, when faced with a mission, his mentality was to face the difficulties. If it really couldn't be done, then he would think of another way. For now, he would take it one step at a time.
As Die Ling cast a spell, the originally not too messy store immediately became even cleaner.
The Five Element Immortal Ball in his body vibrated. Gu Zheng used the Wood Controlling Art to create something out of nothing and created a wooden signboard and notice board.
He waved his hand at the signboard and notice board. The words "Miracle Store" appeared on the signboard. The notice board also showed the business scope of the Miracle Store and other descriptions.
"Place the signboard and notice board where they should be. Tomorrow, the shop will officially open. Don't let the mortals know about it today, in case they are surprised by the sudden appearance of a restaurant!" Gu Zheng said.
"Understood!"
Die Ling nodded and brought the signboard and notice board outside the store.
The streets outside the store were filled with pedestrians. The neighbors were also sunbathing and playing with their phones outside the store. However, no one saw Die Ling. No one saw that the store they were familiar with had a new signboard and notice board.
While Die Ling went out to place the signboard and notice board, Gu Zheng was busy setting up a short distance teleportation immortal formation.
The mission was already difficult and it was even harder to guard a single place. Gu Zheng planned to open two more stores in the nearby cities.
With Gu Zheng's current resources, he could set up three short distance teleportation immortal formations that could be used repeatedly. This also meant that he could teleport to any store that had business.
After setting up the teleportation immortal formation, Gu Zheng brought Die Ling and flew to the target city. Then, he spent a lot of money to set up the second store in the shortest time possible and set up the teleportation immortal formation corresponding to the first store.
After the three stores were set up, it was already night time. However, this was only the beginning. Gu Zheng still had some trivial matters to take care of. For example, he couldn't use immortal tool kitchen utensils this time. Therefore, he needed to get a few sets of ordinary kitchen utensils. However, these ordinary kitchen utensils might not be easy to use. He still needed to process them.
At noon the next day, firecrackers sounded outside the three stores. Their opening attracted a lot of attention. After all, the words on the notice board outside the stores were very eye-catching.
"Is this real? One hundred thousand for one million? "
"If the customer says he's satisfied, then he's satisfied. If the customer says he's not satisfied, then he's not satisfied. Doesn't this mean that as long as I say I'm not satisfied, I can win one million?"
"The buyer is not as good as the seller. Do you think they're all idiots?"
"That's right. Why don't you read the description properly? Didn't it say on the notice? If you're willing to try, you have to swear that your evaluation of the food is absolutely sincere. Otherwise, you'll die a horrible death! "
"It's the era of prosperity now. Some things that belong to immortal cultivators are also in the human world. It's better to be careful when swearing! Who knows if you'll say something against your will and you'll really die a horrible death! "
"There's something fishy. There's definitely something fishy! It's up to the store to decide whether the ingredients and supplementary materials we provide count or not. It's as if 'the company has the final say'. "
"The store owner said that he opened this store to complete a mission and not to earn money from us. Instead, he hopes that we can stump him and earn one million from him! Do you all think this is unbelievable? "
"Hmph, do you believe it? Unless you have nowhere else to spend your money! "
"You can't say that. What if what the store owner said is true?"
"If what he said is true, then the store owner is definitely not an ordinary person. He should be an immortal cultivator! Things that we find inconceivable are very easy for immortal cultivators to do! Toads and stones can be turned into white rice and steamed buns. How can we play with them? "
"According to what you said, this should be a store opened by immortal cultivators. It's better not to be tempted. It's easy for immortal cultivators to win against us!"
"My opinion is different from yours! If this is really a store opened by immortal cultivators, I think we can give it a try. After all, to immortal cultivators, our currency doesn't have much use. They won't be bored enough to win some of our currency back to play with, right? "
"What you said seems to make a lot of sense! I really hope that someone can enter the store and ask about it properly. Then, they can tell us more details! "
"The condition for entering the store is that you have to have 100,000 cash as a stepping stone. Who brings 100,000 cash with them when they go out? Besides, even if you have 100,000 cash, you wouldn't dare to casually enter the store, right? After all, there are still bad guys out there! "
"I don't have money. If I had money, I would really give it a try. 100,000 versus 1,000,000. It's tempting no matter how you look at it!"
"I advise you to calm down. You can ignore everything else, but there are many explanations for the evaluation of the food's taste! It says that the so-called taste and deliciousness are only based on the ingredients you provide. This means that even if the ingredients are inedible, as long as they are cooked with oil and salt, the taste can be improved by a lot! "
"Why are you thinking so much? Why don't you just post it on the Internet and see what the netizens say? "
The onlookers outside the three stores had all kinds of opinions. However, none of them dared to try it or ask the store owner any questions.
Half an hour after the stores opened, outside the third store, someone finally knocked on the door with 100,000 cash.
"Bro, after you enter, ask properly, and then come out and tell us!"
The onlookers shouted at the young man who knocked on the door.
"Don't worry. When I come out, I'll definitely tell you what I asked!"
The young man turned around and smiled at the crowd. There was a hint of arrogance on his young face.
Gu Zheng was originally in the first store. Since someone knocked on the door with cash, he immediately teleported to the third store.
"Please come in."
Gu Zheng invited the young man into the store. Die Ling immediately poured a cup of tea for the young man.
"I thought that a store that dared to do business like this would definitely be luxurious. Who would have thought that it would be so shabby?"
The young man looked around and smiled with disappointment.
"I didn't make it too luxurious. I was worried that it would scare the customers." Gu Zheng smiled.
"Tsk! I've been to many luxurious places. There's nothing that can scare me! "
The young man smiled disdainfully. He took a sip of the tea and spat it out.
"Opening such a grand event and serving such inferior tea to the customers? I really wonder what you're trying to do. Do you have any compensation if the customers aren't satisfied? "The young man frowned.
"I'm selling culinary skills, not tea. If the tea is too good, I don't want to scare the customers! As for the compensation if the customers aren't satisfied, I naturally have it. "
As soon as Gu Zheng finished speaking, Die Ling immediately placed a small box on the table and opened it. The box was filled with colorful Gale star coins.
The young man reached his hand into the box and skillfully flipped through the stack of Gale star coins. Following that, the pleasant sound of paper rustling could be heard.
"The money isn't fake, but you're very strange!"
The young man looked at Gu Zheng as if he wanted to see through his heart. "You're the owner of this store?"
"That's right. I'm the owner and chef." Gu Zheng said.
"You don't seem to be much older than me!"
The young man seemed to be speaking casually, but he suddenly asked, "Are you an immortal chef?"
While asking, the young man continued to stare at Gu Zheng's eyes. However, Gu Zheng's eyes were calm. "No!"
The identity of an immortal chef wouldn't affect the mission. Gu Zheng directly lied.
"Then are you an immortal cultivator?"
The young man didn't give up and continued to stare at Gu Zheng's eyes.
"No."
Gu Zheng continued to lie. Moreover, he lied very thoroughly. "Immortal chefs and immortal cultivators aren't the only ones who have the ability to do this. Cultivators can do it too."
Gu Zheng's face revealed disdain. In return, the young man smiled contemptuously.
"Master, I want to teach this fellow a lesson!"
Die Ling told Gu Zheng her thoughts.
"Don't. This child is so cute! At least he dares to come in and ask me. It's better than those people who only know how to watch! "Gu Zheng said to Die Ling.
"Let's talk about business."
The young man thought for a moment and said, "What kind of supplementary materials are qualified? Although you said it in the announcement, it wasn't very detailed. "
"First, supplementary materials include seasonings and spices. As for the details of the seasonings, you can't make it difficult for me to understand. Therefore, I will remove some of the excessive seasonings. As for what is excessive? This depends on the specific situation of the seasonings you bring! Also, the amount of seasonings. You can't make me add half a catty of salt, half a catty of sugar, and half a catty of vinegar. If that's the case, I will also reduce the amount. "
"As for the spices, it's the same as the seasonings. The premise is that if you want to make it difficult for me, you can't give me too much."
"The so-called seasonings and spices belong to the category of supplementary materials. Since they are supplementary materials, they are definitely not as important as the ingredients! If you really want to make it difficult for me, the focus should be on the ingredients. As long as it's an edible ingredient, I will cook it to your satisfaction. If you're not satisfied, you can take one million! "
After Gu Zheng finished speaking, the young man thought for a moment and said, "Although you didn't say it in detail, I think I understand what you mean. How about this! I'll go prepare the ingredients and seasonings. When I'm done, I'll bring it over for you to see. Also, you have the right to reject the things I provide. I also have the right to not let you cook, right? "
"Of course! After you show me the ingredients and supplementary materials, if I think it's okay, I will ask you again if you want me to cook. If you don't agree, you can take your money and leave, "Gu Zheng said.
"There's one more thing. I want to watch the process of you cooking!" the young man said again.
"You can watch, but you can't spread it outside!" Gu Zheng said.
"Can't spread it outside? Then what I asked you just now, can it be spread outside? "the young man asked.
"You don't have to say anything to the people outside. I have a video of our conversation. I will play the video outside the restaurant. It will answer those questions for you," Gu Zheng said.
The young man thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I don't have anything to ask for now. I'll go prepare the ingredients and supplementary materials."
"Okay."
Gu Zheng stood up. It seemed that he was going to send the young man out, but in fact, he stopped him.
Gu Zheng erased the part about the immortal cultivators from the young man's memory. He would also erase this part in the video later.
There were immortal cultivators on the Wind Billow Planet. Gu Zheng's identity could not be hidden from them. However, it would not be good for him to expose his identity to a mortal like the young man. Anyway, whether it was lying or erasing part of the young man's memory, as long as he did not fake his cooking skills, it did not conflict with the mission. Gu Zheng could do it.
When the young man walked out of the restaurant, the onlookers immediately asked him what he had asked in the restaurant. Except for the part about immortal cultivators, the young man told them everything he had asked.
The onlookers also felt that it was a pity that the young man did not ask if the owner was an immortal cultivator! However, the young man seemed to have a sudden realization and said that he had forgotten to ask about it.
Not long after the young man left, Gu Zheng played the video.
A thousand people might have a thousand questions. The bulletin board could not list all the details. For the people who came to ask, the video was just a supplement to the details.
After the young man left, another customer came to the second restaurant. His question was slightly different from the young man's. Gu Zheng played the video of his question.
