Chapter 26: Tang San Enters the Shop

The next day, Furong Street.

"I'm exhausted!"

Su Mu stretched, then modified the menu in his gourmet shop.

Driving all the way back yesterday had worn him out.

Fortunately, he had managed to return within the three-day deadline.

And so, the moment he returned, Su Mu prepared to resume business.

There was no helping it; every day lost was money lost!

"System, your pricing is getting more and more ridiculous!"

Just after adding the beef noodles and watermelon juice, Su Mu began to complain about the System's pricing.

The previous egg fried rice was already quite expensive at ten taels of gold.

Yet this serving of beef noodles was priced directly at fifty taels of gold.

That was a fivefold increase; it was simply absurd!

The most outrageous part was the watermelon juice that followed.

He had assumed it would be a freebie, but who knew the System would price it at a full hundred taels of gold!

Damn it, System, you might as well just tell me to go rob a bank!

A million-plus worth of watermelon juice—why don't you just fly to the heavens!

"Ding. Host, please have confidence in your culinary skills!"

As the System's prompt sounded, Su Mu could only chuckle.

He had plenty of confidence in his cooking.

However, he had very little confidence in the intelligence of the customers who came here.

Was this treating those customers like fools?

One hundred taels of gold for a cup of watermelon juice!

Unless they were insane!

"Forget it, who told me I don't have the right to set prices!"

Sighing, Su Mu felt powerless.

He could only hope that this watermelon juice wouldn't affect the sales of his other dishes.

As soon as Su Mu's gourmet shop opened,

in the world of *Smiling Proud Wanderer*, a large amount of white mist suddenly rose within Yue Buqun's guest room.

Yue Buqun, who was sitting cross-legged to adjust his cultivation base in preparation for tomorrow's martial arts competition, jumped up in surprise.

"The Immortal has returned!"

Looking at the familiar white mist before him, Yue Buqun muttered excitedly.

Without hesitation, he stepped directly into the white mist and vanished.

The next moment, Yue Buqun's figure appeared inside the gourmet shop.

"Huh, here so early?"

Having only just opened, Su Mu couldn't help but feel secretly surprised to see Yue Buqun walk in from outside.

As expected of a big fat sheep who loves gourmet food—bah, a regular customer—he was certainly diligent!

"As soon as I saw the shopkeeper return, I rushed over. I am troubling the shopkeeper again!"

He bowed respectfully to Su Mu. Regarding an Immortal like Su Mu who enjoyed playing among the mortals,

Yue Buqun had vaguely found the trick to it.

"Mm, so, the usual again?"

Seeing Yue Buqun's good attitude, Su Mu wondered if he should recommend the new dishes.

After all, big fat sheep as easy to fool as Yue Buqun were rare.

"Mm, that is natu—huh? Shopkeeper, you have new items!"

Yue Buqun was just about to nod when he saw that two new dishes had appeared on the menu.

Beef Noodles, priced at fifty taels of gold!

Watermelon Juice, priced at one hundred taels of gold!

The exorbitant price immediately excited Yue Buqun.

That's right, not horrified, but excited.

As a regular customer of the shop, Yue Buqun understood best that the higher the price, the better the effect.

Mere fifty or one hundred taels of gold were of no concern to Yue Buqun.

What he cared about was the boost to his strength.

"Ahem, shopkeeper, please add a serving of beef noodles for me!"

Clearing his throat, Yue Buqun added a serving of beef noodles without hesitation.

He planned to test the effects of the beef noodles first.

Having learned from the incident with the plain boiled water last time, Yue Buqun had his guesses about the watermelon juice.

Perhaps the effect of the watermelon juice was similar to the plain boiled water.

Huh, are rich people this generous these days?

I hadn't even recommended it yet, and he ordered it himself!

Truly worthy of being a foodie who enjoys gourmet food!

Mentally giving Yue Buqun a thumbs-up, Su Mu prepared to get the food ready.

As it turned out, just as he was about to move, Zhang Sanfeng, Song Yuanqiao, Xuanci, and Xuanji arrived at the entrance.

"You all really came early!"

Seeing that all the regular customers had arrived in one go,

Su Mu couldn't help but sigh that these regulars were just great.

He had only just opened the door, and they had already rushed over.

"We are troubling the shopkeeper again!"

Zhang Sanfeng, Xuanci, and the others said with smiles on their faces.

Seeing Yue Buqun already there ahead of them, they nodded to each other in recognition.

Just then, however, Song Yuanqiao noticed the change in the menu.

"Shopkeeper, you have new items!"

Looking at the two additional dishes, even though Song Yuanqiao had guessed it earlier, he was still secretly shocked by the prices.

The ten-tael gold egg fried rice had already increased his internal energy by ten years.

What kind of terrifying existence would this fifty-tael beef noodle be!

Prompted by Song Yuanqiao, Xuanci, Xuanji, and the others also noticed the change in the menu and couldn't help but gasp.

Xuanji even locked his eyes on the one-hundred-tael gold watermelon juice!

Wouldn't drinking a cup of this directly grant a hundred years of internal energy!

At the thought that if that were really the case, wouldn't he, Xuanji, take off on the spot!

Abbot Xuanci, standing to the side, had the same thought as Xuanji.

The two exchanged a glance, their breathing becoming rapid.

"Shopkeeper, please give us two of every dish!"

With a wave of his hand, Abbot Xuanci was wealthy and imposing, preparing to try every single gourmet dish.

Yue Buqun, standing to the side, watched this scene with a twitching mouth.

The Shaolin bald donkey is showing off his wealth again, damn it!

Thinking of his own net worth of only ten thousand taels of gold, Yue Buqun held back for now.

On the other side, Song Yuanqiao and Zhang Sanfeng also calmly ordered every single dish.

Seeing these people act so wealthy and imposing the moment they appeared,

Su Mu couldn't help but reveal a smile.

He just loved these big fat sheep who threw money around like dirt.

It felt so good to fleece them!

For a time, the group who had finished ordering sat down.

Meanwhile, on the other side,

in the world of *Douluo*, in Soto City,

"Let's just sleep for the night like this!"

Inside the Rose Hotel, Tang San sat cross-legged, looking at Xiao Wu sleeping soundly on the bed, and could only shake his head with a bitter smile.

Just then, a wave of white mist silently permeated the room.

The sitting Tang San woke up instantly, the Purple Demon Eye erupting from his pupils.

But strangely, the Purple Demon Eye could not see through the white mist in the slightest!

"Not good, Xiao Wu!"

Seeing the white mist filling the room and losing sight of Xiao Wu, Tang San rushed toward the bed.

But after taking just one step, in a shift of stars and movement of the heavens, Tang San was already standing in the middle of a vast starry sky.

At one end of the starry sky, the silhouette of a gourmet shop floated above; apart from that, there was nothing else.

"Is it an illusion? Or is it?"

Naturally vigilant, Tang San immediately pushed his Purple Demon Eye to its limit.

Yet even so, he could not see through it in the slightest.

After hesitating for a long time in the starry sky, Tang San finally gritted his teeth and moved forward, wanting to get to the bottom of the gourmet shop.

Stepping out from the starry sky, he took a step into the gourmet shop.

A flood of information instantly surged into Tang San's mind.

In an instant, Tang San was stunned!

Is this a fairyland?
