Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 292: Great Achievement, Only the Candidate Is Missing
"Haha, I really can’t afford to delay, or else His Majesty might kill me!"
Gold Star Taibai left the residence with a hearty laugh, walking out the front door.
Watching Gold Star Taibai leave, Weaver Girl turned around, a smile on her face as she looked at Chen Nuo, "Shopkeeper Chen, I’ve finished making the clothes you asked for last time."
That was quick, Chen Nuo thought in surprise, raising an eyebrow, "Oh? Let’s have a look."
"Yes..."
With a gentle tap of her jade-like finger, two sets of garments, one blue and one yellow, appeared on the countertop.
Chen Nuo stepped forward and examined them carefully, his fingers lightly tracing the textures of the seams and stitches.
Accurate! Incredibly accurate! These were exactly like the uniforms from the mysterious delivery organization in his previous life!
"How is it, Shopkeeper Chen?" Weaver Girl asked tentatively, as she had based her work on the description provided by Shopkeeper Chen and was not entirely confident in it.
"Very good!" Chen Nuo nodded with satisfaction, generously praising her, "I didn’t expect you to recreate it so excellently with just a few words."
Worthy of her reputation as the number one clothier in the Three Realms, not only was the production speedy, but the outcome was also impressive.
Although it wasn’t a one-to-one exact replica, it did have a unique ancient style, a rare find.
Shaking her head modestly, Weaver Girl replied, "Compared to your knitting skills, Shopkeeper Chen, my Taoist practice is insignificant."
???
Chen Nuo was a bit dumbfounded. Insignificant compared to his knitting skills? He had no idea his needlework was that remarkable.
But upon further thought, Chen Nuo understood. She was mistaking her own Awakening, the Cloud Shuttle Jade Embroidery Divine Skills, as something innate to him.
These people always assumed that all his Divine Skills had been understood long ago, which is why he had the ability to awaken Divine Skills in others.
As for this misunderstanding, Chen Nuo had no desire to correct it, as there was no benefit in doing so, and it would unnecessarily lower his own status.
Such thankless tasks were something he never engaged in.
"I’m deeply grateful to you, Shopkeeper Chen, for passing on the Shuttle Cloud Embroidery Jade Divine Skills to me!" Weaver Girl’s expression was sincere; for her, who was deeply obsessed with embroidery, the significance of this Divine Skill was self-explanatory.
"Without your Divine Skills, Shopkeeper Chen, I could not have completed the task you entrusted to me so smoothly!" said Weaver Girl decisively.
These two sets of clothing were made utilizing the new methods from the Divine Skills legacy she inherited.
Chen Nuo’s mouth twitched slightly—this praise was a bit too much!
These two garments, with Weaver Girl’s level of embroidery, could have been easily made even without Divine Skills.
With a wave of her hand, Weaver Girl piled a few more garments on top of the two already on the counter.
"All of them are here," Weaver Girl said softly.
"This will be enough," Chen Nuo nodded, gathering all the clothes together.
Quality matters more than quantity in this endeavor. He didn’t plan to hire too many delivery couriers, just a few with sufficiently fast flying speeds.
Of course, they also needed to be resistant to temptation, lest they start eating the food halfway through their deliveries.
He rested his hand lightly on the countertop, now that the uniforms for the delivery service had arrived. As for the candidates...
Chen Nuo’s eyelid twitched. Why hadn’t the Bull Demon King and Roc Demon King returned yet? 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
They said they were taking a leave, but how many days had it been now?
But then again, this was the concept of time in this world—a year could be like the blink of an eye to gods and demons.
When the Bull Demon King and Roc Demon King returned, he would make sure they understood their lesson, not letting them simply watch him eat for three days—that wouldn’t be punishment enough.
"Why didn’t Nezha come today?" Chen Nuo’s thoughts returned to the present, and he asked casually. Hadn’t he come with Weaver Girl before?
"Him?" Weaver Girl blinked, her lips curving into a playful smile, "The Third Prince is probably busy with rouge and face powder right now."
Chen Nuo: "..."
Rouge and face powder...
This Nezha, his awakening of divine skills is truly remarkable, aside from Zhao Gongming’s skill at cheating to swap fake for real currency, I’ve yet to see many that can match up.
The title of the number one cross-dresser in the Three Realms undoubtedly belongs to Nezha.
"What would you like to eat?" Chen Nuo asked softly.
"I’ll have the dish that Shopkeeper Chen recommended just now."
The Weaver Girl smiled faintly, she often ate light food, but it seems that Chaos Residence hardly had any vegetarian dishes!
The only Mapo Tofu on the menu looked spicy, so she decided to go with Shopkeeper Chen’s recommendation.
Chen Nuo nodded, "Good."
As the Weaver Girl stepped forward, intending to pay for the meal, Chen Nuo pointed a finger and pushed the crystal ball on the counter back to its original position, saying generously, "You’ve completed my task, so today, your meal is on the house."
He owned the restaurant, so he could do as he pleased.
Anyone who made a contribution to the restaurant deserved such a reward.
The Weaver Girl didn’t refuse; Shopkeeper Chen had vast magical powers, and to brush off such a formidable person would truly anger him.
She bowed slightly, with a charming smile, "Then I thank Shopkeeper Chen."
"It’s nothing," he waved his hand nonchalantly and headed towards the kitchen. "Find yourself a seat, it’ll be ready in a moment."
"Understood."
As Chen Nuo walked back to the kitchen, he nodded to himself. His impromptu decision to waive the meal’s cost filled him with insight, the more he thought about it, the more sense it made.
His initial plan had been, after hiring the delivery staff, to reward the best delivery person each month with magical treasures or something of the sort.
Now it seemed, a reward of a dish might suffice.
For instance, a free serving of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall for the best delivery person for one month?
That could work!
Even though immortals considered these dishes as treasures, for him, as long as he had the ingredients, it was too simple, he just needed to get started.
"Has everything been bought?" In a pavilion in the Imperial Garden, the lady of the Jade Pool asked the reverently waiting Fairy Baihua in a soft voice.
Fairy Baihua nodded, "To answer your Highness, everything has been purchased!"
She walked daintily towards the Jade Pool, took out the food, placed it one by one on the stone table beside her, and presented the crown vip membership card with both hands.
The Jade Pool reached out and took it.
"Your Highness, this card of yours is amazing! Ordering so much from Chaos Residence, and not having to pay a penny!" Fairy Baihua said with wide-eyed wonder.
This statement was a well-delivered compliment, and if there was something the Jade Pool was proud of at the moment,
it was the crown vip membership she received from Chen Nuo, even the Flat Peaches had to step aside; with a smile on her lips and a hint of pride on her beautiful face, the Jade Pool said.
"Of course, this is truly unique, the palace has been of great help to Chaos Residence! It’s for this reason that Shopkeeper Chen granted me the crown vip membership."
Crown vip membership?
Fairy Baihua whispered to herself with some confusion; the name seemed rather odd.
Before Fairy Baihua could collect her thoughts, the Jade Pool spoke again, "Has Wu Tian sent someone today?"
Haotian?
Fairy Baihua was momentarily puzzled, then it dawned on her; the conversation was about the Jade Emperor, the only one in the Heavenly Court who dared to call His Majesty by name was probably Her Highness alone.
"To report to Your Highness, the Emperor sent Taibai Gold Star to Chaos Residence," Fairy Baihua promptly replied.
"Taibai Gold Star," the Jade Pool nodded.
It was exactly as she had predicted.
With a glance, the Jade Pool looked at Fairy Baihua, and asked earnestly, "Everything went smoothly while shopping? You didn’t offend Shopkeeper Chen, did you?"
On hearing this, Fairy Baihua hurriedly shook her head, "This servant did not disrespect Shopkeeper Chen; I even bowed to Shopkeeper Chen before I left!"
