Chapter 313

Xuan Feng sighed softly: "Alright then."

She didn't ask further; it was obvious that if Chen Nuo wanted to tell her the specific time, he would have said so already—why wait until now? "Well... Manager Chen, I'd like to order food."

Unable to inquire further, Xuan Feng had no choice but to continue with the task entrusted to her by Nüwa.

"Are you bringing food to your mistress again today?"

Chen Nuo tapped his fingers lightly on the table and spoke up.

Xuan Feng nodded honestly: "Yes."

Ever since she once brought food to her mistress, she hadn't been able to stop—but today, she had no choice but to stop.

"Sorry, I can't do proxy purchases today, not anymore from now on."

Chen Nuo said softly.

Xuan Feng was somewhat dazed and anxious: "Why?"

This is a task entrusted to her by the mistress—no delays allowed!

"New rule: from now on, food delivery is our Chaos Residence's responsibility."

Chen Nuo shrugged and said casually, "If you don't eat in-store, you can still place remote orders."

"How, how do you order?"

Xuan Feng remained completely confused.

What kind of operation is this remote ordering Chen Nuo mentioned? Could she, residing in the Wahuang Palace, still have food delivered to her door?

Chen Nuo calmly pulled out a stone slab the size of a phone—exactly the takeout device he made.

"Use this to order."

Chen Nuo gave it a gentle push, and the stone slab slid smoothly across the table to Xuan Feng's front.

"What is this?"

Xuan Feng reached out, picked it up, turned it over in her hands, found it novel, but didn't know how to use it.

Seeing this, Chen Nuo explained it in detail.

"This thing is actually this miraculous?"

Xuan Feng cradled the takeout device in her hands as if it were some peerless treasure.

Voice-activated ordering and payment—just eat Chaos Residence's food at home? This is too convenient!

Xuan Feng marveled inwardly.

"Take this back to your mistress and let her order food with it."

Chen Nuo explained in one sentence.

Xuan Feng froze: "Manager Chen, you're just giving this to me for free?"

This thing is so novel—just looking at it, the price must be steep!

"I have plenty more; I don't lack these."

Chen Nuo shrugged. The materials for making takeout devices, though relatively rare in the Three Realms nowadays, can be bought here in the system with just a few points, enabling mass production.

Upon hearing this, Xuan Feng's mind stirred slightly, she blinked, eyes full of hope: "Manager Chen, could you also give me one?"

With such a convenient device, if she ever feels lazy later, couldn't she also order food in the Wahuang Palace? "Okay."

Chen Nuo didn't hesitate, agreed directly, then took out another takeout device and pushed it to Xuan Feng.

The reason it's free is twofold: first, for old customers like Xuan Feng who order food daily, they deserve some benefits; second, although Chaos Residence is now moving toward legitimacy, its fame in the Three Realms is still lacking.

Supply and demand—only when there's a large enough user base can it be viable.

Only when Chaos Residence gains more customers should it start selling takeout devices—that's the best choice.

With these privileges for old customers, new customers' purchasing desire can be better stimulated.

After running the shop this long, Chen Nuo has also grasped many ins and outs.

Having received the takeout device, Xuan Feng was overjoyed, excitedly fiddling with it in her hands, looking at the images on the recording stone, her fingers swiping back and forth.

After a while, she finally remembered she still had official business to attend to.

Composing herself, Xuan Feng pondered briefly, then looked toward Chen Nuo and said: "Well, Manager Chen, can I first bring food to my mistress today?"

After all, having come all this way, making another trip would be quite troublesome.

"No."

Chen Nuo refused without hesitation.

He introduced the takeout device precisely to eliminate proxy purchasing—how could he possibly tolerate it? Moreover... "Your mistress has never come to Chaos Residence for consumption testing; previously letting you act as her proxy was already a great concession."

Chen Nuo gave a reasonable explanation.

This is also why he wants to launch the takeout business—he can't keep letting others act as proxies forever!

If it's a Golden Immortal treasure user paying twenty copper coins for a meal, that's fine.

Because the latter hasn't undergone testing, the cost is actually borne by the former's Golden Immortal treasure—he would profit greatly.

But if the situation were reversed, that would be terrible.

Xuan Feng and Nüwa are exactly in this situation now.

Even if Nüwa is extremely lucky, as a Saint-level cultivator, her consumption standard would likely be much higher than Xuan Feng's.

It's better to clarify this upfront.

The payment strip and crystal ball at the bottom of the takeout device are made of the same material, and since they're system-produced, their data is interconnected.

Every tested customer with a set consumption standard has a record, and their accounts are synchronized.

Even if Nüwa doesn't personally visit Chaos Residence, she can still be tested—this couldn't be more convenient. "Like this."

Xuan Feng scratched her head in distress, helplessly saying: "Alright then."

Manager Chen's argument is sound and well-founded—she has no way to refute it, nor does she dare.

"That..."

Xuan Feng blinked: "If I place an order, who will deliver it to me?"

The words had barely fallen before Chen Nuo could even open his mouth.

"Boss!

I've picked all the peach blossoms in the backyard"

Dapeng held a basket, pushed open the Imperial Kitchen Wall, and shouted.

"Boss, the Back Kitchen has already been checked"

Almost at the same moment, the Peng Demon King also poked his head out holding a cleaning cloth.

After the two demons finished speaking, they glared at each other resentfully.

Now, they are each other's biggest rivals—how could they possibly get along peacefully?

Since Chen Nuo launched the Employee of the Month policy yesterday, these two demons have never been idle, one doing this task, the other doing that.

Very efficient.

Chen Nuo was very satisfied with this situation.

Holding up his palm with a finger pointed, Chen Nuo said: "This is the delivery employee hired by my Chaos Residence, that is, the one who delivers food to you"

Are you a customer? The Peng Demon King and Dapeng looked at Chen Nuo beside Xuan Feng, thinking in unison.

The next moment, Dapeng flashed and appeared before Xuan Feng, his tone somewhat urgent: "Are you here to order food?"

Xuan Feng was startled by the sudden appearance of Dapeng, unconsciously stepped back half a step, and instinctively said: "Yes, yes"

"Then customer, you must order food, and then have it delivered to your door"

"Remember to choose me as the delivery employee"

Dapeng excitedly pointed at himself with both hands.

Holy Shit, this kid is too sneaky!

Seeing this, the Peng Demon King silently cursed in his heart and quickly rushed forward: "Customer, choose me—I deliver food at lightning speed, Cultivation Faction Promise guarantees your order arrives intact and undamaged"

"Don't listen to his nonsense—he's not reliable at all!

Choose me"

"Choose me!

He's trash, he lost to me in speed before, definitely not as fast as my delivery"

The Peng Demon King glanced at Dapeng with disdain.

"You're full of shit"

Dapeng's eyes widened, and without hesitation he retorted: "I have now obtained a new Divine Communication—when it comes to speed, I am vastly superior to before!

Now you cannot possibly be my rival"

"Hah, compared to me, you're still far behind"

"Get lost"

"Damn"

The two demons traded insults on the spot, neither showing any mercy.

Xuan Feng's mouth twitched, and he laughed awkwardly: "Boss Chen, are you sure they can handle this?"

Seeing the two demons like this, Chen Nuo also felt a bit embarrassed.
