Mini World Game Console-Chapter 789 - 790: Great Minds Think Alike [Asking for Monthly Tickets]

"Boss, I need ten pounds of lean meat, minced, no fat on it!"

"Brother, this is a tavern..."

"What do you mean!" The adventurer slammed the table. "Are you selling or not? If not, I'm giving you a bad review! A Five-Star bad review, a Five-Star bad review!"

Ren Suo tugged at the corner of his mouth, glanced at the virtual menu on the left, and found that they did indeed sell lean meat...

"Hey, don't just bring out the ready-made ones. I want it fresh, minced by the boss himself. That's the only way I'll give a Five-Star review willingly."

For a good review, I endure!

Ren Suo swallowed his anger, took out a plate of lean meat, and then grabbed two kitchen knives.

Although he had never minced meat like this before, he was a Fourth-Stage Cultivator. His physical condition was extraordinary, and his wrist strength and control far exceeded those of ordinary people. Moreover, the tavern also offered teaching services, so mincing meat was still a breeze for him.

"Brother, it's all minced. Are you taking it home? May I ask which underpass you would like it delivered to?" Ren Suo wrapped the lean meat with lotus leaves and handed it to the adventurer.

The adventurer didn't mind Ren Suo's sarcasm at all and grinned. "Hold on, I want another ten pounds, all fatty, no lean meat on top, also minced."

Ren Suo, you must endure!

Can't endure anymore!

Screw enduring!

"Next, are you going to want ten pounds of Golden Cartilage, also finely minced, with no lean meat visible?"

Ren Suo slammed the kitchen knives on the counter, rolled up his sleeves ready to fight, and cursed, "When I get back to reality, I'll use 'Rippling Spring Sounds' to make you streak, to teach you the lesson that 'You don't insult the manager'..."

"Oh come on, cool down, cool down. I was just planning to take it back for wontons, just kidding, just kidding. Here's your good review, no rush."

The adventurer quickly flashed a smile and said, "It's not the first time I've seen you in the tavern, so I got a bit excited. You see the kind of relationship we have, I'm definitely going to give you a Five-Star review. But good reviews aren't given carelessly; you have to work first, then I can give it."

"Really?" Ren Suo looked at him doubtfully.

"Of course it's true! Would your little buddy lie to you?" The adventurer said earnestly, "I'd like to give you a good review right now, but I simply can't do it. On my side, only after you've done a lot, the Five-Star review option lights up."

Ren Suo, standing behind the bar, crossed his arms, unable to determine if the adventurer was telling the truth or not—he couldn't experience being a tavern customer himself.

Just then, someone else came in: a fat man dressed in white.

"Wow, you really became a tavern waiter?" Zhao Zili walked over to the bar, slammed his hand on the counter, and said, "First up, ten pounds of fatty meat, minced, no lean meat visible!"

Ren Suo looked suspiciously at Zhao Zili. At that moment, the adventurer patted Zhao Zili on the shoulder and said, "Haha Little Fatty, you're close with him, huh? Coming straight in planning to let him work fast so you can give him Five Stars?"

"Five... correct!" Zhao Zili patted his chest and solemnly said, "What's my relationship with him? We're like brothers! Now that he's working as a waiter, I'll definitely give him a good review without hesitation!"

"Remember, it has to be personally minced. Your full sincerity is necessary for the system to let us give Five-Star reviews."

"Right, right, right, intention is very important."

"Probably because the fatty meat doesn't measure up to the lean meat, you'll also need to chop another ten pounds of Golden Cartilage."

"We also want to give Five-Star reviews, but the system won't allow it."

Ren Suo glanced at the adventurer and Zhao Zili, half-believing, picked up the kitchen knife, and minced another ten pounds of fatty meat and ten pounds of Golden Cartilage.

At that moment, the tavern door was pushed open again. In walked a beautiful woman with eyes as deep as black holes, impossible to look away from. Her jet-black hair was tied in a single ponytail, and she wore a black mini-dress.

"What about Five-Star reviews?" The Kitchen Girl glanced at the two sitting in front of the bar, then at Ren Suo, who was mincing meat. "Ten pounds of fatty meat, ten pounds of lean meat, ten pounds of Golden Cartilage? Are you two planning to rid the world of a scourge or something?"

"Ah, about that..." The adventurer was about to say something, but Ren Suo interjected, "Kitchen Girl, can you give me a Five-Star review directly?"

"What Five-Star review?" The Kitchen Girl sat down smiling and said, "Oh, your task... But I can't control that. It should be the system automatically determining the quality of your service to rate you. I can't give you a good review, let alone a Five-Star review."

SMACK!

The tavern door was pushed open with a bang. The adventurer and Zhao Zili's escape was so fast Ren Suo didn't even have time to say anything harsh.

The Kitchen Girl, well aware of what had happened, languidly said, "Bring a screwdriver."

A screwdriver is vodka and orange juice. After Ren Suo mixed the drink, the glass automatically flew to the Kitchen Girl's table. Curiously, he asked, "Can't you make your own delicious food and drinks? Why come to the tavern?"

As the main character of 'Midnight Walker,' recognized by the world's desire entity, the Kitchen Girl ran a Ghost Stall and could produce the most delicious food and thousand-year-old wines.

Though this tavern also had every ingredient imaginable—Dragon Liver and Phoenix Marrow were not lacking, and Immortal Bean and Vermilion Fruit were also available—Ren Suo's skill level was clearly not on par. The drinks he mixed definitely couldn't compare to those the Kitchen Girl personally made.

"Do you really think a tavern is just for drinking?" the Kitchen Girl said with a slight smile. "Real bars aren't just places to drink either, are they?"

Ren Suo blinked. "Then... you're here for... a one-night stand?"

The Kitchen Girl raised her eyebrows slightly, glanced at Ren Suo with a seductive smile, and said, "Boss, you seem quite innocent. I didn't expect you to have such complicated thoughts… What if I said, yes?"

"Now it's just the two of us here." The Kitchen Girl drained her glass in one gulp and gently wiped the water trace from the corner of her mouth with her fingertip. Her eyes were filled with allure. "So, my choice for a 'one-night stand' can only be you."

Ren Suo blinked, not tempted in the slightest.

"Sister, I can't leave this bar. Why don't you come in?" Ren Suo said helplessly.

Indeed, when Ren Suo chose to work at the Mystic Tavern, he could only operate from behind the bar. He couldn't go into the main hall to interact closely with customers unless they sat at the bar. If he could, he would have already chased down the adventurer and Zhao Zili. He would have smashed their heads with the ten pounds of lean meat, ten pounds of fat, and ten pounds of Golden Cartilage.

"What a pity. I can't enter the bar either." The Kitchen Girl crossed her legs, her snow-white thighs gently rubbing against each other. The tavern lights were dim, and endless secrets seemed hidden under her short skirt.

The Kitchen Girl noticed Ren Suo peeking under her skirt. Her voice suddenly became airy and tempting. "What are you thinking about?"

Ren Suo, slightly lost in thought, muttered, "My little sister's legs are beautiful. She would look better than you in this skirt."

But Ren Suo quickly snapped out of it, staring at the Kitchen Girl with an annoyed face.

Even for him, it was annoying to have his inner thoughts drawn out with a Charm Spell.

However, the Kitchen Girl showed no remorse, saying righteously, "Were you peeping under my skirt just now?"

"...Yes."

"I wear clothes that show off my figure because I know they will attract attention. However, that's limited to the parts I'm willing to show. Now that I've sat down, my skirt is hidden. Isn't it impolite for you to peep like that?"

"...Yes."

"I admit, I used a bit of my Collector's authority earlier to provoke your desires and made you spill the truth. That was indeed rude of me. So, rudeness for rudeness, let's call it even."

Ren Suo hesitated for a moment and then nodded. "Alright."

So gullible.

The Kitchen Girl smiled slightly and asked, "You just said you think your sister would look better than me in this skirt?"

"Yes," Ren Suo said seriously. "My sister has beautiful legs. She definitely looks better in this kind of skirt than you."

"People usually say that to compliment their lovers, don't they?" The Kitchen Girl tilted her head and asked.

"Correct, my sister is my lover," Ren Suo shamelessly responded.

"Oh, then… what about that girl who has liked you for so long, always preparing soups and meals for you?"

"..."

"And the Tactical Bureau Female Cultivator with a heart full of deceit, but who always reserves a portion of gentleness for you?"

"..."

"What about the super youthful, irresistibly cute female student who can't stand you at times, yet loves you immensely?"

"..."

"And the true form of the Moon Chanter, that Cat Girl as adorable as a little girl?"

"Absolutely!"

Ren Suo had no intention of hiding. He just waited for the Kitchen Girl to finish before he burst out, "They all~~ are my lovers!"

"You could at least act a bit embarrassed," the Kitchen Girl chuckled.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. If you do it, you must own it," Ren Suo said earnestly. "Since I don't think I've done anything wrong, there's no need for secrecy. Only wrong deeds require hiding; only misfortunes need to be concealed. Whoever asks me, I'll answer truthfully. I have five lovers, and I will do my utmost to ensure their happiness."

Ren Suo shrugged. "That's why I work here."

The Kitchen Girl asked, "Really? What if their parents ask you?"

"..." Ren Suo was truly at a loss for words this time.

"That's so you."

The Kitchen Girl chuckled. "But since this is the path you've chosen, I can only wish you the best. Next time I'm summoned, I'll prepare something delicious for you."

"There will be a chance."

"There will definitely be a chance. Haven't you forgotten? I can cook any food," the Kitchen Girl said as her finger lightly traced the rim of the glass, "including... wedding cakes."

Ren Suo was slightly stunned, his gaze drifting away. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"Yo, are you blushing?" the Kitchen Girl laughed.

"Speaking of which, you didn't come here to drink, nor did you come for a one-night stand, so what are you doing at the tavern?" Ren Suo abruptly changed the subject.

"I'm here to socialize, of course," the Kitchen Girl said. "Aside from those stinky men, Truth Seekers, Moon Chanters, Female Mages, Disaster Messengers—they all come here to have a small drink. Even Ilina invades the TVs here. We often chat together."

"Why have I never encountered you guys chatting?" Ren Suo wondered.

"Because we avoid you on purpose," the Kitchen Girl said matter-of-factly. "Every time you come to the tavern, we leave."

"...Why?"

"Because you type very slowly, and we all chat in real-time. No one wants to wait for you, and it's impolite to just leave, so we go before you arrive," the Kitchen Girl said with a shrug.

That's a bit harsh!

People chatting via voice don't want to deal with text messengers!

I've got the speed of a QQ Crown user; I was once a super high school Keyboard Warrior known for both emoticons and Martian language!

Suddenly, Ren Suo blinked and said, "Enough about that. I've got to go. We'll chat next time."

"Bye."

However, after a while, the Kitchen Girl realized that Ren Suo was still behind the counter, wiping glasses. She had a thought and understood what had happened.

Just then, another person entered the tavern. The Kitchen Girl greeted, "Yo, you're late."

"Late?" The Moon Chanter was slightly startled, then realized what was happening and looked towards Ren Suo at the bar.

"No, I arrived just in time."

The Moon Chanter sighed lightly, sat at the bar, and faced Ren Suo, mysteriously producing a lit candle from nowhere.

Ren Suo pressed his palms together, quietly worshiping the candle flame as if paying tribute to something.

"Cherish these days," the Moon Chanter said softly. "You've endured crossdressing, being married off, household chores, and flirty chats. In the days ahead, you just need to work four hours a day here, and then your day is over."

His clone nodded slightly.

Curious, the Kitchen Girl asked, "So after these days pass, does that mean he doesn't need to work four hours every day anymore?"

The Moon Chanter and the clone glanced at her. Then the Moon Chanter nodded, and then shook her head.

"After these days, he indeed doesn't need to work four hours every day."

The Moon Chanter said softly, "Instead, he needs to work 24 hours a day."

Sitting on the sofa, Ren Suo came back to his senses and stretched, his bones making cracking sounds.

He had just used Soul Projection to work seriously for four hours in the Mystic Tavern and felt utterly exhausted. If it weren't for the adventurer and Zhao Zili, those two scoundrels, who tricked him into mincing over thirty pounds of lean meat, fatty meat, and Golden Cartilage for more than an hour, he might not have been so tired.

The Mini-World Game Console's technology was becoming increasingly advanced. It directly projected him into the Mystic Tavern to work, without even needing Pandora's Magic Box.

Indeed, when it comes to extracting labor, the Mini-World Game Console also spared no effort. Ren Suo disdainfully thought of it as a bloodthirsty slave master, endlessly exploiting labor.

So, working four hours, what did Ren Suo gain?

—A whole 24 Merit Points!

Although it wasn't much, this was a daily task he could repeat again and again!

Unlike playing games, where once you clear them, you can't earn Merit Points anymore.

And it didn't even strain his brain. Ren Suo just needed to send his clone in to work for four hours each day. This earned him 24 Merit Points a day, totaling 720 points a month!

And on that particular day, there weren't many customers, only three. With more customers in the future, he would earn even more!

If the duration of his Cloning Skill was extended, then his income could continue to skyrocket!

If the clone could last for 24 hours, then his earnings could increase sixfold...

Thinking this, Ren Suo couldn't help but reveal a blissful smile, only snapping out of it when his mobile phone alarm rang. He wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth and went to the bedroom to change his clothes.

Only now did Ren Suo confirm that his decision to "invest in Mystic Tavern" when he was promoted to a Level 6 player was indeed the right one.

'Leopard Head Zero Charge' offered significant short-term gains, and 'Xin Yue players' promised high future returns. However, for Ren Suo, who possessed the 'Night Moon Warrior' Cloning Skill, 'investing in Mystic Tavern' was the privilege best suited for him.

Once the duration of the Cloning Skill improved, Ren Suo would no longer be troubled by having too few Merit Points!

However, this privilege came with a small inconvenience: the tavern owner would disappear whenever Ren Suo or his clone was working.

If Ren Suo wanted to ask questions, he had to cancel his work mode. Only then would the tavern owner, shrouded in black mist, reappear.

But this was a trivial detail Ren Suo didn't mind.

After changing into neatly pressed clothes and combing his hair to look mature, Ren Suo instantly transformed into a man second only in beauty to Bai Ji.

'Rational Ren Suo' left Ren Suo many legacies. One of these was clothing coordination: Ren Suo now knew how to look good in both women's and men's clothing.

Exiting the house and reaching downstairs, Ren Suo saw Zhao Huo had already pulled up in his car and was waiting.

Zhao Huo had suddenly invited them for dinner that afternoon, telling Ren Suo, "Invite all the girls you know well." He also added a tempting remark: "It's my treat."

With such a domineering Zhao Huo and such a strong invitation, Ren Suo couldn't refuse. The other girls also agreed, as they were quite familiar with Zhao Huo because of Ren Suo.

Even so, Ren Suo only knew six girls well. Among them, Qiao Muyi had to return to work that afternoon. She planned to leave early and go directly to the restaurant Zhao Huo had reserved, ensuring she wouldn't be late.

Luna would go too, but she would be there in her cat form to freeload food and drinks.

Actually, only Ren Suo, Dong Chengling, Ren Xingmei, Gu Yueyan, Lin Xianyu, and Luna the cat left from school.

By this time, everyone had gathered downstairs. Ren Suo looked at Zhao Huo's SUV and unapologetically knocked on the car window, saying, "Brother Huo, your car can't fit all of us."

Zhao Huo scratched his head. "None of you have a car?"

"Unfortunately no. After all, I don't have a fiancée to gift me a car," Ren Suo retorted, then someone pulled at his clothes.

He turned his head and saw Ren Xingmei blinking at him. He hurriedly explained, "But I haven't even taken my driving test, so I don't need a car."

With a Rich Lady right here, I really have to be careful with my words. What if she uses her snack money to buy me a car? Then I'd have to spend time getting a driver's license. Too much hassle.

And...

Ren Suo blinked at Dong Chengling.

Why drive when you can Teleport?

What did he need a car for? Dong Chengling was all he needed.

Zhao Huo clicked his tongue. "In that case, it's troublesome. Why don't you guys borrow Bai Ji's car?"

Ren Suo asked, "But then we have to tell Bai Ji. Are you inviting him for dinner too?"

Zhao Huo thought for a moment, shaking his head. "No, I can't have someone more handsome than me at the dinner table."

"Hmm, I think so too."

Seeing the two of them agreeing like kindred spirits, the girls wanted to say something, but ultimately said nothing.

Zhao Huo said, "In that case, someone will have to take a taxi or the subway. My car can only sit four people."

Ren Suo agreed, "Yes, someone must take a taxi or the subway."

Gu Yueyan said, "But it's not really nice to let the girls go alone, is it?"

Lin Xianyu added, "It's best if a male takes the taxi or the subway."

Ren Xingmei pointed out, "But this car can only fit four people."

Dong Chengling stated, "I have a driver's license."

Luna meowed, "MEOW!"

A minute later, Ren Suo and Zhao Huo stood by the roadside, watching the departing black SUV. They exchanged a glance and fell into contemplation.
