- Chapter 173 - Unlocking the Second Task
Qing Li’s actions not only stunned the restaurant manager but also left the ghost customers in shock.
The ghost customer stared at the black, foul-smelling brain matter in the bowl, with several fat and tender maggots freely wriggling in it.
He burst into tears, wailing, “My brain, I’ve lost my brain.”
His cries were deafening, echoing throughout the entire restaurant.
Qing Li, standing aside, didn’t forget to say, “If you’re satisfied with the dish, please leave a good review.”
The ghost customer, convulsing with anger, exclaimed, “You ruined my brain and still dare to ask for a good review? Do you think I’m brainless?”
Qing Li, unflinching, earnestly persuaded, “This fresh brain rice dish is made from your brain matter. If you’re not satisfied with it, it’s essentially dissatisfaction with your own brain. You may question my cooking, but you can’t doubt your own brain!”
Ghost customer: (?o?)
It seemed to make sense.
So…
System: “Congratulations to player Qing Li for receiving the third positive review.”
Seven more to unlock the next task.
Just as Qing Li was about to return to the kitchen to continue working, the restaurant manager, unable to hold back any longer, hurriedly stopped her, saying firmly, “I’ll pay you double to work at the restaurant across the street.”
He feared that letting this human stay even a second longer would lead his restaurant to bankruptcy.
But if she worked for the competitor across the street…
Qing Li’s eyes lit up at the mention of double pay. She smirked with a sly, treacherous smile and said in a low voice, “Manager, that’s shameless of you. But rest assured, I won’t let you down.”
So, Qing Li went to apply at the restaurant across the street.
The restaurant manager there warmly welcomed the foolish human who came knocking.
Soon, after half of the ghost customers at the restaurant left, the manager realized something was amiss…
“I’ll settle double your salary if you work at the restaurant across, and if you can shut it down, I’ll give you 10% of the restaurant’s profits.”
Qing Li blinked innocently and said, “Manager, I just came from that restaurant across, and they offered me more.”
Restaurant manager: (???)?
What? Are they that shameless and despicable?
Biting his lip in determination, the manager said, “How about 20% profit share?”
Qing Li, beaming, assured, “Don’t worry, manager. I’ve got this covered. I won’t let you down.”
Seeing Qing Li return from across the street, the restaurant manager nearly stumbled and fell.
“You… how did you come back?”
His right eyelid twitched, sensing impending doom.
Qing Li candidly replied, “Sorry, manager, they offered more, so I came back.”
Restaurant manager: ?(#`?´)?
In the midst of malicious business competition, Qing Li moved back and forth between the two restaurants.
Finally, when Qing Li received her tenth positive review, both restaurants closed their doors, hanging a sign that read “For Sale at a Low Price.”
?From then on, the horror world had two more unemployed male ghosts.?
?After bringing down three restaurants in a row, congratulations to the village girl for earning the title “Bane of the Culinary World.”?
?No, it’s the fourth one.?
?The horror live broadcast sending the village girl to the horror world is the only good thing that’s happened to the real world.?
After receiving the tenth positive review, Qing Li unlocked the next task.
Task Two: Player Qing Li is invited to attend a gourmet’s party at the address on the invitation.
After unlocking the task, Qing Li found a red invitation in her hand, emitting a strong scent of blood, clearly dyed with human blood.
Qing Li opened the invitation and quickly read its contents.
——————
The rose has bloomed, everyone is welcome to taste it.
——————
Time: Month Day, 04:44 AM.
Address: Rose Manor, Ossuary Road, City of Gluttony.
The content of the invitation also appeared in the live broadcast room.
?A gourmet’s party? Why do I feel like it’s going to be a cannibalistic party!?
?I wonder what the relationship is between the first and second tasks, it seems a bit bizarre.?
?From the content of the first task, we can guess that this is a culinary skill assessment. After all, the village girl is human, and ghosts would be extremely critical of a human’s cooking. Especially since getting a single bad review or complaint would mean task failure, while getting ten good reviews is even harder than reaching the heavens. So, this task is about selecting players with exquisite culinary skills. Once they pass the test, they can go to the address on the invitation to prepare dinner for those self-proclaimed gourmets of the horror world.?
?Great analysis, upstairs!?
However…
The audience suddenly thought of Qing Li’s cooking. If she were to cook for those gourmets of the horror world…
?Does anyone have the emergency number for the Black Heart Hospital in the eastern suburbs? I think it might be wise to call them in advance.?
?I wonder if ghosts can get food poisoning and need their stomachs pumped??
?Based on what I know of Dr. Chu’s medical skills, stomach pumping is unlikely. They’d probably just remove the sick ghost’s stomach.?
The live broadcast room fell into a brief silence…
System: “I’ve just found some information. The owner of Rose Manor is Mu Wen from one of the four major families of the City of Gluttony. He’s rumored to have an extreme and twisted pursuit of gourmet food. To make a single dish, he once slaughtered tens of thousands of humans just to extract their cerebral spinal fluid.”
Such a psychopath is unparalleled even in the horror world.
The system began to worry about Qing Li’s safety.
However, Qing Li was casually folding a paper crane from a talisman.
Thinking that Qing Li might want to summon someone for help, the system said, “If you want Chu Ci to come over, I can help you contact him.”
Qing Li shook her head, “Doctor Chu has an agreement with the ten forbidden places; he can’t step foot into forbidden areas. How can I make him break his promise over a trivial matter!”
The system, curious, asked, “Then what are you folding the transmission talisman for?”
It was now familiar with the types of talismans Qing Li used.
Qing Li licked her small canine tooth with the tip of her tongue, her gaze falling on the ‘For Sale’ sign hanging on the restaurant’s door, her lips curling into a sly smile: “Of course, it’s to contact Jin Chen, to have him quickly buy these two restaurants at a low price.”
System: ?(?????lll)
