The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 443 - 440: Another Random Mission Is Here Again
Just as Xin Lin was lamenting that her journey as a novice Spiritual Delicacy Master had ended before it even started, the voice of the Life Book came into her mind again.
"Life Book notification, issuing a random task: Rebuild ’Chu’s Restaurant’, gain 20 regular customers. Completion will reward one Dan Wood sign, failure will deduct 100 Heaven-defying Value, task duration is three days."
Xin Lin paused in her steps, nearly stumbling and falling.
Life Book, you’re being mischievous again.
Thanks to the Ultimate Lingxiu Buns, her Heaven-defying Value had soared recently. She was truly planning to either use the Dan Wood Furnace to indulge herself with Spiritual Food or roll the Opportunity Dice to bring out some new tricks. Who knew another random task would come up.
And the Heaven-defying Value deducted for task failure was higher each time.
Xin Lin’s eyes were skeptical, guessing that the Heaven-defying Book calculated the cost of failure based on the Heaven-defying Value she possessed.
In any case, she couldn’t afford to lose; otherwise, she might be erased by the Human Path.
"Life Book, can the issuance of random tasks be less frequent?"
Xin Lin asked politely.
"Life Book notification, the issuance of random tasks is completely random, frequency cannot be determined."
Xin Lin rolled her eyes; it was like speaking to no avail.
regular customers, where would she find them?
Right now, she didn’t even have a single regular customer!
Xin Lin sighed and returned to Chu Mansion.
"Little Boss, the Purple Cloud Cabbage in the backyard has yielded abundantly again. We have over two hundred, almost three hundred cabbages in our cellar. If we keep them any longer, they’ll rot."
As soon as she entered, Ma Jingtian ran over, holding two big cabbages in his arms.
Who wouldn’t want such good cabbages?
"Change it up tomorrow, send twenty to Shi Guiren. Also, tomorrow morning, take a few brothers with you to clean up Chu’s Restaurant."
Xin Lin waved her hand.
"Clean up that corner? Why?"
Ma Jingtian was confused; there wasn’t even a Spiritual Delicacy Master there.
"We’re reopening, um, we won’t sell Spiritual Delicacies, just the Delicious Spiritual Food Buns."
Xin Lin dropped the statement and went back to rest.
The next morning at De Yue Building, several runners were carrying trays of hot Spiritual Delicacy Buns as usual.
Due to the Overlord Egg incident yesterday, De Yue Building’s buns had sold out, and the Shopkeeper had been lightly complained at by regular customers.
It was just dawn, and long queues would normally have formed outside De Yue Building.
The runners and the assistant chefs in the dining space were all waiting for the buns to sell out quickly.
Indeed, some customers were waiting outside.
The Shopkeeper looked a few times and felt something was off.
How come it feels like there are fewer people?
On normal days, several hundred pork buns in more than a dozen trays would sell out in a quarter of an hour, but today took one and a half quarters?
At the same hour, roughly when De Yue Building was selling buns, a small figure with a basket of steaming buns was weaving through the market crowd.
"Hey, kid, you’re here. Give me five buns."
As soon as Xin Lin arrived at the market, the merchant uncle from yesterday came over with a smile, buying five in one go.
"Kid, give me two as well. Your family’s cabbage pork buns taste really good. The flour is elastic, the meat juice is plentiful, and the cabbage is especially crisp and sweet. My old lady ate one and has been thinking about it since."
The market was bustling with merchants who specifically waited for Xin Lin today, forgoing De Yue Building’s buns. Half the price, better taste, only a fool wouldn’t buy.
