Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 336 New Dish on the Menu
Jin Chanzi didn’t care much and went straight up with his chopsticks, just like a war about to break out.
Maitreya also immediately picked up a piece, moving so quickly that afterimages of his hand appeared.
He aimed to win with speed, eating whatever extra he could manage.
Inside Chaos Residence.
Chen Nuo was sitting, fiddling with the takeaway machine in his hands; he planned to update the Image Retaining Stone with the dish "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall."
He had previously had the system store an image of "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" he prepared, which was now to be loaded into the Image Retaining Stone, accompanied by some additional text.
This Image Retaining Stone was a system product, integral to other takeaway machines, all of which were universally compatible and could share information.
"Shopkeeper, the abalones, scallops, and fish lips you asked to soak are all ready!" The Great Roc and Roc Demon King walked out from the kitchen, one after the other.
"Hmm." Chen Nuo casually acknowledged without looking up.
A look of confusion crossed the Roc Demon King’s face: "Shopkeeper, what are you planning to do with so many ingredients we prepared?"
"Are you going to make us something delicious tonight?" The Roc Demon King’s mind stirred with the delightful prospect.
Excitement instantly surged through the Great Roc at the thought; nothing could be better if it were true!
Upon hearing this, Chen Nuo rolled his eyes.
"You wish," he said indifferently. "These ingredients are for tomorrow’s preparation; it’s for the new dish that we’ll be launching."
A new dish?! The Two Demons felt a chill in their minds.
"Shopkeeper, what kind of new dish is it?" The Roc Demon King couldn’t help but ask aloud.
Chen Nuo spoke softly, "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall."
The Two Demons frowned—Buddha Jumps Over the Wall? What is that? Such a strange name!
The Buddha jumping over a wall!
Thinking of the solemn and dignified Buddhas of Spirit Mountain engaging in such antics, the Two Demons almost laughed.
The Great Roc seemed to think of something and quickly asked, "Shopkeeper, the ingredients we processed are so numerous; you’re not saying... they’re all for this new dish, are you?"
"Hmm," Chen Nuo nodded. "What you’ve prepared is just a part of what’s needed."
Just a part?!
The Two Demons were baffled—what kind of dish was the shopkeeper planning to make?
After processing so many ingredients, to be told that was only part of the new dish?!
The Roc Demon King scratched his head and chuckled, "Shopkeeper, can you let us see this new dish..."
Before he could finish, a sudden sound came from the waist of the Two Demons.
Update complete, Chen Nuo smiled faintly.
The Two Demons, puzzled, took their own takeaway machines and looked at them, only to see the first image was brand new.
This is...
The Great Roc and Roc Demon King stared at the picture before them, their faces full of astonishment—this dish was incredibly lavish!
Abalones, fish lips... it had everything.
But why did it seem so familiar?
The Two Demons were puzzled, before suddenly realizing that the items depicted in the image were precisely the ingredients the shopkeeper had just asked them to prepare.
Almost in unison, the Two Demons looked at the text accompanying the image.
New from Chaos Residence: Buddha Jumps Over the Wall available tomorrow—must purchase in person at the store!
No purchasing on behalf of others, no takeaway service for now!
Price: ten dining opportunities, with a limited-time 10% discount.
So it really was "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall"!
Despite their exclamations, the Two Demons couldn’t help but wonder—wasn’t the price a bit too outrageous?
The original price times ten for a meal? Isn’t that too expensive?
Chen Nuo merely shrugged his shoulders, "You guys should just take a look at this picture to get an idea."
"Shopkeeper, you didn’t get the price wrong for this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, did you?" the Roc Demon King asked with a hint of confusion.
"No mistake, that’s the price," Chen Nuo confirmed.
Uh...
The Roc Demon King’s eyelids twitched. That’s the price? He forced a sheepish smile, "Shopkeeper, isn’t this a bit too expensive?"
The Roc Demon King’s words carried a tentative edge.
"The price is quite normal," Chen Nuo replied nonchalantly.
"But that’s ten times the cost!" the Roc Demon King exclaimed in astonishment.
The Great Roc frowned, his words laced with a scolding tone, "The shopkeeper says what it is! It’s not your place to interject!"
"The Shopkeeper hasn’t said anything!" the Roc Demon King retorted with a defiant glare.
The Two Demons started to bicker back and forth, which made Chen Nuo speechless.
"I set this price because Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is worth it!" Chen Nuo explained softly.
The ingredients of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall are far richer than any other and, with the incredibly high probability of Divine Skill Awakening, it’s a fantastic value for money!
Offering ten meal opportunities and a first-day 10% discount was already very generous of him, otherwise, he had been planning on setting an even higher price!
After all, even Wukong, after having awakened ten times from dining opportunities, managed to awaken instantly after eating Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
You must realize that the difficulty of each awakening grows exponentially!
So you can imagine just how potent Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is.
For those at the initial stages of awakening, it’s essentially a guaranteed awakening of a new Divine Skill!
Of course, mimicking something like Wukong’s multiple awakenings to minimize the probability is ideal.
However, if others want to follow suit, they’ll have to slowly eat like Wukong for ten years at least, and most people probably can’t wait or even comprehend that.
Chen Nuo didn’t elaborate on these reasons, knowing that as soon as someone eats, they would understand the beauty of it.
"Yes!" The Two Demons nodded respectfully, and the Roc Demon King did not probe further.
Since the shopkeeper stated that the price wasn’t pulled out of thin air, they, as minor employees, just needed to obediently follow the shopkeeper’s arrangement.
"By the way, prepare a few more portions of the ingredients we used just now," Chen Nuo instructed, confident that nothing could stop a serving of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall tomorrow.
He had sent out the message across all the takeaway machines he had made, with the notification synchronized.
"Yes!" the Two Demons chorused, retreating back into the Imperial Kitchen.
However, the Roc Demon King and the Great Roc each had different thoughts: although the shopkeeper was introducing a new dish tomorrow, wasn’t it a bit too expensive?
Inside, the Roc Demon King was howling. Even with his employee half-price privilege, he could only afford to pay for four meals at once at most, and Buddha Jumps Over the Wall typically was set at five meals, leaving him no way to afford it!
Life was tough for him!
In contrast, the Great Roc wasn’t so sorrowful.
His payment method was Innate Yin-Yang Qi, and after the half-price discount, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall cost only five strands of Innate Yin-Yang Qi. With his precious Flask of Yin-Yang Dual Qi, he had more than enough to cover the cost!
Tomorrow, he was determined to have a taste!
Seeing the Two Demons enter the kitchen, Si Lu got up and walked towards the backyard, ignoring the flat peaches filled in the garden, while Chen Nuo quietly watched around the corner.
There, in front of Chen Nuo, was a lush but quite short tree. It seemed ordinary, but if one infused their eyes with mana, they could discern the faint Tao Intent flowing through its branches, the leaves brimming with vigor.
Chen Nuo nodded silently, impressed that this item could grow so quickly in his garden.
This was the Innate Spirit Root, Enlightenment Tea, the rarest tea in all the Three Realms.
Because the Innate Spirit Root Enlightenment Tea Tree was extinct and the remaining Enlightenment Tea leaves were all held in Saint Taiqing’s hands.
Of course, it couldn’t really be considered extinct now, since he was growing it right in his yard.
