Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 304: Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao Arrives
At Chaos Residence’s second floor, in the largest room, Chen Nuo fiddled back and forth at the table.
After a short while...
"Finally, it’s complete!" Chen Nuo exclaimed with excitement, collapsing back onto the chair.
Gazing at the slate-sized object in front of him, nearly the size of a smartphone from his previous life, Chen Nuo felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment.
The slate was polished exquisitely, assembled from three sections, with the shortest ones at the top and bottom, and the longest in the middle, looking quite professional in design.
This was the core component Chen Nuo had created for his vital task of external food delivery.
The delivery machine!
The crystal strip on top was the Sound Transmission Stone, capable of connecting across distant corners of the world.
The largest middle piece was the Image Retaining Stone, which recorded all information about the dishes, ready to be sent and viewed with a single touch.
And the bottom part was made from the same material as the Crystal Ball, used for making payments.
Selecting dishes with the Image Retaining Slate, ordering with the Sound Transmission Slate, paying with the Glazed Slate—that was his solution to every problem.
Once the food was prepared, it would be delivered straight to the customer’s door by a delivery person—a perfect system!
Moreover, all these materials were supplied by the system, ensuring absolute quality and reliability.
"There’s nobody here?" Golden Roc entered, looking around.
The decoration of this place was truly unique; he had never seen anything like it elsewhere.
His gaze wandered casually, and when he saw the imitation Executioner Immortal Four Sword hanging in the center of the four walls, Golden Roc’s pupils constricted.
He hurried over for a closer look at the longsword.
"This sword..." Golden Roc murmured to himself.
"What’s wrong," Roc Demon King asked, somewhat puzzled, as he approached Golden Roc.
With a pointed finger and a hint of excitement, Golden Roc said, "Look at that sword, that aura; it’s a Quasi-Saint level Magical Treasure!"
Roc Demon King felt it for a moment and nodded, "Indeed it is."
The quality of this sword was very high!
It seemed...
Roc Demon King turned his head to look and noticed that the other swords in the room also appeared extraordinary.
Reaching out his hand, Golden Roc was about to touch one of them.
Seeing this action, Roc Demon King’s face changed with urgency, and he quickly grabbed Golden Roc by the arm.
"What are you doing?"
"Why, taking the treasure of course!" Golden Roc spoke as if it were obvious. With the Magical Treasure on open display, why wait to take it?
Roc Demon King had a face of disbelief. To display such a treasure openly—who do you think has that kind of audacity?
"This is Shopkeeper Chen’s place; you can’t afford to be reckless here!" Roc Demon King sternly warned.
If Golden Roc offended Shopkeeper Chen, not even he could ensure his safety.
Golden Roc seemed unconvinced, but out of respect for Roc Demon King, he refrained from continuing and reluctantly retracted his hand.
"Where exactly is this Shopkeeper Chen you speak of?"
Although he was part of Buddhism, he was lawless and unrestrained.
There was no helping it, given that his brother was the Great Peacock Ming King, Buddha Mother Kong Xuan!
With such a backing, he was naturally brazen.
It was always others waiting for him; what reason was there for him to wait for anyone else?
This made Golden Roc somewhat dissatisfied.
"Shopkeeper Chen should be upstairs, but it’s getting late; why hasn’t he come down yet?" Roc Demon King was also quite perplexed.
Tap, tap!
Suddenly, a series of footsteps echoed from the staircase, and both demons looked in that direction.
A young man in a green robe, with a graceful and handsome appearance, descended the stairs.
"Shopkeeper Chen!" the Roc Demon King called out, quite excited.
Is this Shopkeeper Chen?
The Golden Roc scrutinized Chen Nuo from top to bottom, his brow slightly furrowed. According to the aesthetic of the human race, apart from being handsome, he seemed rather ordinary!
Is he really as terrifying as the Roc Demon King described?
Seeing the Roc Demon King, a flash of joy sparked in Chen Nuo’s eyes. It’s as if a pillow comes just as one is dozing off!
He had just finished the meal delivery machine, and here the delivery man had arrived—nice timing!
"You’re back?" Chen Nuo said indifferently.
"Yes, yes!" the Roc Demon King responded, then hesitantly inquired, "Shopkeeper, I haven’t come too late, have I?"
If Shopkeeper Chen blamed him, that would be a disaster!
Chen Nuo gently shook his head: "You’re actually the earliest to come."
He had already been preparing other plans to find delivery staff and hadn’t expected the Roc Demon King to return so soon.
The Roc Demon King was taken aback. "Niu hasn’t returned?"
"If he had, wouldn’t you have seen him already?" Chen Nuo replied offhand, his gaze turning to the new face, the Golden Roc, filled with a hint of surprise.
Where on earth did the Roc Demon King find this bird? And it’s at the early stages of the Great Luo realm.
They seem to have some physical resemblance; could they be some sort of cousins?
His expression unchanged, Chen Nuo began to calculate inwardly. Judging by its physical form, its flight speed must be quite fast.
And surely, he can’t rely on only the Roc Demon King for meal deliveries.
Chen Nuo nodded to himself; this was perfect timing. Unexpectedly, the Roc Demon King was a dedicated employee who cared about Chaos Residence!
Little did he expect that the Roc Demon King, for the sake of the development of Chaos Residence, would bring along his family. Truly commendable.
Unlike the Roc Demon King, the newly arrived Golden Roc didn’t have much reverence. His cultivation as a Daluo Golden Immortal was his confidence.
Emitting his mana, the Golden Roc planned to probe Chen Nuo’s cultivation level. He wanted to see exactly who this person was that the Roc Demon King praised so highly.
But the next moment, the Golden Roc’s face underwent a drastic change, and he quickly retracted all his mana.
The Roc Demon King noticed Chen Nuo’s gaze, pointed to the Golden Roc, and said, "Shopkeeper Chen, this is my friend Golden Roc. He came with me today to have a look around."
Chen Nuo understood, a bit disappointed in his heart. So he wasn’t here to work.
However, with a glint of scrutiny in his eyes, Chen Nuo pondered secretly. Golden Roc, the Golden Roc...
Is he from the Lion Camel Kingdom in ’Journey to the West’? That’s interesting, I didn’t expect him to show up.
"Want something to eat?" Coming back to his senses, Chen Nuo asked lightly.
The Roc Demon King nodded frantically: "Of course! I’ve been dying these past days for the food you make, Shopkeeper Chen!"
Finishing his sentence, the Roc Demon King looked at Chen Nuo with a hopeful expression: "Shopkeeper Chen, do I still get half off?"
His fee was half of his mana; without the half-off privilege, having a meal or ordering a pot of Peach Blossom Brew would leave him completely drained.
Chen Nuo shrugged his shoulders and said casually, "As long as you keep working, the privilege remains."
"I will brave any danger for Chaos Residence!" the Roc Demon King exclaimed joyfully, quickly showing his commitment.
Chen Nuo rolled his eyes. If he didn’t steal a bite during deliveries and paid attention, that would be satisfactory enough.
Looking at the two demons, Chen Nuo said, "Start with the orders, then."
"Shopkeeper Chen, I want a roasted leg of lamb!" the Roc Demon King didn’t hesitate to say.
In the Demon Master Palace these days, that’s what he craved the most, thinking about it incessantly.
He also tried to get the Demon Master Palace chefs to replicate it from memory, attempting to recreate it as he imagined, but unfortunately, it was nowhere close.
Chen Nuo nodded and, looking at the silent Golden Roc, asked, "What about you? What would you like to eat?"
"I..." Caught off guard by Chen Nuo’s question, the Golden Roc hesitated, a flicker of fear flashing in his eyes as he unconsciously stepped back half a step.
What level of cultivation is this man at, that he, a Daluo Golden Immortal, couldn’t even begin to sense it?
It’s like an ant looking up at a mountain, or a drop of water comparing to the ocean. The difference is immeasurable!
Even a Quasi-Saint wouldn’t necessarily make him feel this way, would they?!
