Jiali Restaurant.

The boss's lounge.

Xin Sui handed in his resignation to Lou Jiali.

After reading it, Lou Jiali said decisively, "No, I don't agree to your resignation."

She resigned. Where did the food for room 308 come from?

Xin Sui knew why she reacted so strongly.

The person in room 308 of the Loujia Hotel seems to really like the food she makes.

If they can't eat the food she cooks, it will be bad for the Lou family.

But what does that have to do with her?

Does she have to keep working at the restaurant to appease 308?

When did the Lou family find a way to subdue 308? When can she leave?

Sorry, she's not that great.

Moreover, Lou Jiali had previously tried to use a curse to control her, so the fact that she didn't give up was already a great favor.

Xin Sui said calmly, "I'm just informing you, not asking for your consent."

"Hachi has already mastered all the dishes on the menu, which is enough for him to succeed as head chef. You don't need to worry about the restaurant's business being affected after I leave."

"In addition, even after I resign, I will still regularly develop new dishes for the restaurant, which will be a fair return on the shares you gave me."

"Of course, if you get angry and want to take back your shares, then I can also stop developing new dishes."

Lou Jiali said, word by word, "Are you threatening me?"

Xin Sui: "If that's how you want to understand it, then that's fine too."

Lou Jiali paused for a moment, then suddenly tossed out a crystal coin.

"How about we make a bet? We'll bet on which side of this coin will land face up when it falls, okay?"

"My bet is this restaurant. If you win, I'll not only let you go, but the bet is yours too."

"And if you lose, you'll have to stay for another month."

On the surface, the bet seemed to be very advantageous to Xin Sui.

After all, she doesn't have to contribute anything, and even if she loses, she only needs to stay at the restaurant for another month.

If she wins, the whole restaurant will be hers.

You should know that Jiali Restaurant is now a veritable "internet celebrity restaurant" in the city, and countless celebrities and powerful figures dine here every day.

Being able to reserve a table at Jiali Restaurant has become a symbol of status and wealth.

Fame is one thing, but the real allure is the daily influx of large sums of crystal coins.

However, Xin Sui knew that this seemingly simple bet concealed a deadly trap.

Lou Jiali's superpower—If I lose a bet, something on you will become mine.

And what about her possessions—the system, the ability to be immortal, the spiritual spring, her life, her lifespan—can she afford to lose any of them?

She has a 50% chance of losing if the coin lands face up.

So why did she bet with her?

"No gambling."

Xin Sui turned and left.

The moment she closed the door, she heard the sound of crystal coins hitting the door.

It's probably Lou Jiali who threw a tantrum inside.

Old Fish Head and the others probably figured it out, right?

Xin Sui arrived at the hall, only to find them fighting with someone.

A moment ago.

Old Fish Head: "What kind of ridiculous rule is this? You need to make a reservation just to have a meal?"

Waiter: "I'm sorry, sir, that's our restaurant's policy."

Old Fish Head pulled Big Eyes over. "Do you know him? He used to be your head chef's apprentice, he worked here. How come he didn't know there was such a rule?"

The waiter recognized Big Eyes and explained, "This rule was only recently introduced because the restaurant is so popular that there are often no seats available, so Miss Lou asks customers to make reservations in advance."

Erxu: "Is it too late for us to make an appointment now?"

The waiter took out the crystal card and checked it.

"I'm sorry, the appointments are already booked for two months from now. Would you like to make an appointment now?"

"If you make a reservation now, you can dine at our restaurant in two months!"

Old Fish Head and the others: "..."

They came to celebrate, so they wanted to eat today, right now, right away. Who has the patience to wait two months for a meal?

But if I don't make a reservation, I don't know when I'll be able to eat there again.

"A bunch of bumpkins, they don't even know to make a reservation in advance when they come to Jiali Restaurant."

"They don't look like they can afford it, so why are they coming here to act like big shots?"

"A single dish here costs tens of crystal coins. They've probably never eaten anything this expensive in their lives, haha."

"What's the point of making a reservation? It would be so embarrassing if a group of people just ordered the cheapest cold seaweed salad."

Upon hearing this, many people in the restaurant burst into laughter.

The way they looked at Old Fish Head and his companions was full of disdain, contempt, and an air of superiority.

The group was instantly enraged by the stares.

"A bunch of idiots! If you laugh again, I'll make you regret it!"

Old Fish Head's harsh words were also the truth.

However, the crowd was unfazed and did not take his words seriously at all.

One of the laws of Bright City is that people with superpowers are not allowed to use their powers in the city, especially in public places.

The enforcement of this law is very flexible.

If a person with superpowers uses their abilities but isn't reported or causes serious harm, the guards won't do anything to them; at most, they'll lock them up for a few days.

However, if a person with superpowers uses their abilities to injure someone in public, the situation becomes much more serious.

They will be publicly executed.

It was precisely because of this that no one believed that Old Fish Head and his gang would dare to do anything to them; in fact, they laughed even more wildly and recklessly.

"Oh my, a mere berserker dares to call himself 'I' in front of me? That's laughable."
