Chapter 69: Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Boss Is Contagious

Lunch was still spicy rabbit meat.

The two rabbits were fat and sturdy; Wan Yi added some rice for herself, and each person got half a rabbit.

The oily, bright red sauce mixed with rice first gave a numbing sensation, then spiciness.

As always, delicious!

Cheng Shuili was already used to it, and had said plenty of praise.

Now, if she were asked to say something praising Wan Yi's cooking, Cheng Shuili would rack her brains and not be able to utter a word.

This is the helplessness of an old married couple.

But the other two were still novices; Liang Shan Bo had hardly eaten a few meals, and Xinxue was eating proper rice for the first time!

【Liang Shan Bo Yu Zhu Ying Lai】: Wan Yi sis! This spicy rabbit meat is absolutely amazing!! I almost teared up on the first bite! The rabbit meat is crisp outside, tender inside, numbing and fragrant, the Sichuan pepper's numbness and chili's fragrance completely permeate the meat, even the bones are flavorful! Your skill not opening a shop is a waste of heavenly bounty!

When Xin Xue Chuji took the first bite, she almost teared up even more.

After once again feeling grateful to follow Wu Ya in her heart, she silently opened their four-person group chat.

【Xin Xue Chuji】: So delicious! So delicious! Really so so so so delicious!

【Xin Xue Chuji】: I'm uncultured, I can't come up with adjectives, but I know how to beg for food! Wan Yi sis! Next time you cook, please definitely call me, I'll bring my own utensils and come running!!

Cheng Shuili smiled at the message.

Okay.

She gained two more praise experts.

Talk is talk, but Wan Yi naturally couldn't manage her meals.

Wan Yi's rice barrel in the cart was about to run dry, she was worrying, seeing these two words of praise she just smiled and didn't say anything extra.

Now the situation is, there's still plenty of meat from Wu Ya, seasonings too, and the food cart can fire up…

But!

It just so happens the staple food is gone!

Perhaps someone would ask, if there's no rice you can eat noodles, why aren't noodles considered staple food?

Flour is even rarer than rice!

When was the last time we got alkaline noodles?

Wan Yi fell silent, Wan Yi felt regret, Wan Yi began recalling where each grain of rice went, and finally helplessly opened Wu Ya's small window to inform her of this heartbreaking news.

【Wan Yi】: Wu Ya, our staple food is gone. The rice is only enough for us two to cook two bowls of porridge tonight, and flour we've never even seen,

【Wan Yi】: Wu Ya, from now on we can only live on vegetables and meat!

Cheng Shuili saw the message, first stunned for three seconds, after confirming what the person sent, she silently shoved rice into her mouth.

Actually…… we can only live on vegetables and meat……

It's not necessarily a bad thing, right?

However, not eating staple food is indeed not good.

Cheng Shuili had plenty of game coins; the system, worried she had nowhere to spend them, also sent her a trading station transfer card.

It's time to go to the trading station again.

Cheng Shuili put down her utensils, typed a line on the keyboard, and replied to Wan Yi.

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: I'll go to the trading station and buy some stuff.

【Wan Yi】: Really possible?

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: Hmm.

Wan Yi stared at the message on the screen, her finger hovering over the keyboard for a few seconds.

"Wu Ya…… really can solve anything."

Truly… lives up to being number one.

Wan Yi isn't the type to easily yield; just look at the group chat and it's clear.

Xinxue and Liang Shan Bo call Wu Ya the boss with genuine conviction; only Wan Yi occasionally calls her, but with a teasing tone.

She has always been strong; in school she ranked first, because she liked cooking she went straight to become a chef after graduation, starting as an apprentice and gradually making her mark!

She became a true chef with a first-class chef certificate!

She has gained too much success, so she possesses blind confidence.

In Wan Yi's view, there's nothing she can't do.

Until she entered this game.

The system detected her professional certificate, at the start gave her a food cart, and the opened supply box mostly contained ingredients.

This is good, and also bad.

She didn't need to worry about meals; her diet was better than most people's, but life isn't just about eating. In the first few days, she slept every night on the food cart, until the vehicle's first upgrade……

Life seemed to have improved.

But she discovered, without a fridge, the things she produced would spoil quickly.

Helplessly, she posted a message in the area channel and contacted Wu Ya.

Wu Ya seemed omnipotent.

Just like today's matter, Wan Yi could only hope for luck, hoping to get something from the supply box, but Wu Ya just lightly said a sentence, as if it weren't a big deal at all.

Just like that, all problems were solved.

"Is this what number one is? Is this Wu Ya?"

Wan Yi lowered her head to look at the empty rice pot in the pot, glanced at the clean kitchen counter of the food cart, and suddenly felt an inexplicable emotion well up in her chest.

"If it were just me alone, with no fridge, no endless pork, no seasonings…… I could only rely on processing for others to exchange some meager materials to upgrade the vehicle, eating food with no flavor at all……"

Wan Yi pursed her lips, fingertips lightly rubbing the phone screen, staring blankly at that brief reply.

Following her... it really feels like we don't have to be afraid of anything.

This thought popped up, she suddenly felt her heart beat a little faster, as if she had finally found a harbor where she could rest in peace.

"Decided."

"Just take on a big boss, being second-in-command isn't bad either."

Thinking of this, Wan Yi couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth, her fingers flying as she typed a line on the keyboard:

【Wan Yi】: Big boss, you're really great!

After sending, she felt it wasn't enough, quickly added another line:

【Wan Yi】: I will definitely cook well from now on!

Cheng Shuili looked at the screen, raised an eyebrow, and thought: "This guy...... why so serious all of a sudden?"

But they also started calling her big boss, that's it.

Will this title also catch on?

She shook her head, took out that transaction station transfer card from the Abyssal Ring, and directly chose to use it.

Consistent with the description on the card, Cheng Shuili drove not far and saw the transaction station.

At the door stood the familiar Mao Mao Tou, dressed in a black suit, with a grim face, looking not to be provoked.

Cheng Shuili had experience from last time, and now she was already a veteran.

She honestly put all her weapons into the shopping cart, made sure the cart's door was closed, then turned and walked toward the transaction station.

This Mao Mao Tou seems to still have an impression of her.

Their eyes swept over Cheng Shuili casually, confirming she wasn't carrying weapons, then they stepped aside to signal she could go in.

Cheng Shuili smiled and nodded, striding into the transaction station.

The transaction station was a bit lively today; besides Cheng Shuili, there were several other humans.
