Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 310 Delivery Robot
Right!
If this were any ordinary place, it would definitely have been a blow to the Demon Master Palace’s prestige, but who is Shopkeeper Chen?
Shopkeeper Chen is a peerless great being!
Even though his reputation isn’t prominent, the Golden Roc felt that even the Kunpeng predecessor might not be a match for Shopkeeper Chen.
What’s more, Shopkeeper Chen possesses the ability to awaken divine skills in those who eat his food, which is unfathomable!
For ordinary people, having the chance to eat a meal at Chaos Residence is already a huge opportunity, let alone staying by Shopkeeper Chen’s side for an extended period.
This Roc Demon King, even if he becomes a servant, can still be considered to have stumbled upon great fortune and destiny. Under such circumstances, how could the Demon Master Palace possibly fuss over it?
After all, being close to the water tower, it’s easier to get whatever you want to eat.
"You... what exactly do you have to do as a servant?" Rolling his eyes, the Golden Roc leaned in, lowering his voice as he asked the Roc Demon King.
Deep in thought, the Roc Demon King pondered for a moment before replying, "Carry plates, wash dishes, chop vegetables, clean..."
One by one, the Roc Demon King listed off endless chores, all kinds of trivial tasks.
Golden Roc pulled at the corner of his mouth, somewhat speechless, "How, how are you managing to endure this?"
They are both powerful enough to be considered Demon Kings in their own rights; their temperaments may not be savage, but they are certainly not delicate. He would have been annoyed to death by such mundane chores had he been in their place.
The Roc Demon King smiled faintly, an air of mystery about him, "Because of the benefits."
"Benefits?" The Golden Roc didn’t understand and was somewhat confused.
"If you get half-off your meal, would you do all this work?" The Roc Demon King counter-questioned.
Half-price?
A thought crossed the Golden Roc’s mind; his meal cost was a strand of Innate Yin Yang Dual Qi, which meant half-price would translate to half a strand.
Although his Flask of Yin Yang Dual Qi contained the origin and could generate Innate Yin Yang Qi, it’s a precious commodity after all, and each strand took a long while to refine.
This way, he could save half the payment!
"Then of course I would!" The Golden Roc slammed the table and rose, without any hesitation.
The Roc Demon King shrugged, "So there you have it."
"That’s the benefits package for working at Chaos Residence." The Roc Demon King let out a sly laugh.
Shit! The Golden Roc was startled; the benefits were this good?
Without any hesitation, the Golden Roc hurriedly bowed respectfully to Chen Nuo, "I beg Shopkeeper Chen to take me on as a worker!"
After just one meal, the Golden Roc was very clear in his heart that he couldn’t live without Chaos Residence’s dishes anymore!
Chen Nuo’s brow raised slightly in surprise, but he didn’t speak.
It seemed too easy for the Golden Roc to willingly start working like this. This was rather casual!
Chen Nuo thought to himself.
"Hey, didn’t you join Buddhism? Why are you here working at Chaos Residence instead of staying there?" the Roc Demon King asked at an inopportune time.
The Golden Roc glared, "What do you mean I joined Buddhism? That’s my brother, not me! I’m just staying there temporarily!"
Immediately, he indignantly said, "How could I possibly join those bald monks?! Always with their dogmas and rules."
He would be annoyed to death by it all, not to mention that the vegetarian meals at Buddhism were so bad that every extra bite felt like torture, let alone joining them for good!
"You can come work here, but there’s no slacking off, and no matter how leisurely you were as a Demon King, don’t bring your old habits with you," Chen Nuo spoke calmly, his words carrying a hint of warning.
After all, the Golden Roc had committed such offenses in Journey to the West, and although none of that happened yet, he still needed to be reminded.
"Yes!" The Golden Roc nodded quickly in response, glancing at the Roc Demon King, and promised, "Don’t worry, Shopkeeper Chen! I guarantee I’ll do better than him!"
Upon hearing this, the Roc Demon King couldn’t contain his impatience, "Golden Roc, what do you mean by that? Although your cultivation is higher than mine, this is Chaos Residence. Ever heard of ’first come, first served’? I can very well be considered your senior!"
The Golden Roc was disdainful, "Is that so? Everything should be based on strength, not seniority, especially when it comes to an enlightened being like Shopkeeper Chen!"
Naturally, the Golden Roc also entered into flattery mode.
Watching the two demons argue, Chen Nuo helplessly rubbed his forehead. With these two who couldn’t stand each other now here, it seemed his Chaos Residence would no longer have any peaceful moments in the future.
"You two have the same duties. There is no superior or inferior between you," Chen Nuo said softly, interrupting the two demons.
See! He knew that Shopkeeper Chen wasn’t a stickler for old customs!
The Golden Roc’s heart leapt with joy, and he looked at Chen Nuo, "As long as it’s Shopkeeper Chen’s command, I will not shirk my duties!"
How dare he steal the words right out of his mouth!
"I feel the same!" the Roc Demon King asserted, not to be outdone.
As soon as the words fell, the two demons glared at each other again.
Chen Nuo shook his head lightly, and spoked nonchalantly, "From today on, you don’t need to do any trivial tasks."
"There’s only one thing you need to do."
The two demons looked at each other and said in unison, "Shopkeeper, please feel free to instruct us!" 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
Chen Nuo nodded slightly, very satisfied with the attitude of the two demons, pondered for a moment, and then said, "The task I’m assigning you is to deliver takeout."
"Deliver takeout?" The two demons were quite puzzled.
"It means to deliver meals to customers."
The Roc Demon King and the Golden Roc nodded, so that’s what it was.
However, the Roc Demon King frowned, "If they come to order meals, why don’t they just take it with them on the way out? Why do we need to deliver it?"
"Exactly!" the Golden Roc chimed in supportively. He completely agreed with the Roc Demon King. Isn’t that a bit redundant?
Were they expected to escort it? To ensure its safety?
Hearing this, Chen Nuo rolled his eyes, "If they all came to the store, what would I need you for? What I mean is, if someone orders from a distance, your task is to deliver the food intact and undamaged."
"But," the Roc Demon King scratched his head and couldn’t help asking, "If they don’t come to the store, how will they know what to order?"
Isn’t this a contradiction?
"I have a way," Chen Nuo replied calmly, taking out the newly constructed takeout device and tossing it in front of the Roc Demon King.
The Roc Demon King caught it and gazed at the tablet in his hand, puzzled, "Shopkeeper, what is this?"
The Golden Roc also came over timely. The two demons scrutinized the tablet closely, trying to figure out what was odd about it.
"This is the takeout device I made, for ordering food," Chen Nuo stated blandly.
"Holy smokes! What is this thing?!" The Roc Demon King explored it, and unexpectedly, the middle of the tablet suddenly lit up.
Almost thrown by startled reflex, he looked closely only to find that there were images of dishes on it, which could be swiped to change to the next one.
He was immediately astonished.
"This thing is quite fun!" the Roc Demon King swiped once, then again, and sure enough, all the dishes on the menu appeared on it.
The Golden Roc knitted his brows slightly, somewhat hesitant, "This thing...is it an Image Retaining Stone?"
More cultivated and with broader knowledge, the Golden Roc identified the material of the tablet.
Although the stone was not sturdy nor of particularly high quality, its ability to retain images was indeed unique. However, they were quite rare.
There had been a good number of Image Retaining Stones in the Primordial World before, but since the cataclysmic battle between Saints during the Divine Enthronement that led to the collapse of the world and the Dao Ancestor’s intervention in refining the current Four Great Continents of the Earthly Immortals Realm, they had become increasingly rare.
Nowadays, they were seldom seen in the Three Realms.
