"But if you come to Kyoto again next time, I'll have to cook, and we'll have a good meal together."
Lin Yifeng felt completely satisfied to have won a meal from a master chef.
After sending Sun Lixin away, Pang Donglai also kept three of Sun Lixin's apprentices.
One person was in charge of cooking the roast duck, another was in charge of slicing the roast duck, and yet another was in charge of processing the duck carcass.
Lin Yifeng was generous to these three mentors, offering them a high salary of 1,000 yuan per month to keep them busy.
The three masters were very satisfied with the salary.
They have followed Sun Lixin in Kyoto for five or six years, but they still haven't made a name for themselves.
This salary is considered the highest level of pay for a kitchen staff member during mealtimes in Kyoto.
Most importantly, Pang Donglai's benefits are definitely better than most companies, and these three masters have already started to consider whether to settle down in Muye.
After finishing his work here, Lin Yifeng began preparing for the arcade.
Since Pang Donglai is having an event, the arcade naturally can't lag behind.
Ten days before the Spring Festival, Xu Qingyi appeared in the Longteng Game Hall.
Since Pang Donglai's three brands launched their Spring Festival promotions, Longteng Game Hall naturally couldn't be left behind.
As instructed by Lin Yifeng, Longteng Game Hall moved two claw machines directly to Pang Donglai to launch the second wave of Spring Festival activities.
Customers who make a purchase at Pang Donglai can play the claw machine three times for free by showing their receipt.
This has attracted not only people preparing for the New Year, but also many young couples to visit Pang Donglai.
After buying a lot of clothes, all the purchases under ten yuan were spent on claw machines at Pang Donglai.
Meanwhile, at the Dragon Arcade, many customers looked puzzled as they saw the two empty seats.
The two claw machines created a large empty space in the center of the Dragon Arcade.
That morning, many workers set up a stage inside the Longteng Game Hall, and the televisions hanging around the stage attracted many customers to stop and watch.
Many people also came to get close to Xu Qingyi, asking what activities she was going to carry out.
Xu Qingyi smoked a cigarette and chatted with the group of regular customers.
"Brother Feng is planning to organize an e-sports championship tournament. People can sign up every day, and the six finalists will compete in the final on Sunday."
"Starting tomorrow, do you want to sign up? The winner on Sunday will get 100 coins and a cash reward of 30 yuan."
There is no registration fee.
This surprised and delighted everyone; no one had expected such an event to happen.
Since the last competition, Dragon Arcade has seen a surge in competitions.
Arcades of all sizes in Makino City began to follow suit, holding various game competitions.
This impact extends beyond Makino City to arcades in many other surrounding cities, resulting in a continuous stream of competitions.
No matter which competition it is, it cannot shake the supreme status of the "Dragon Cup" in the hearts of these customers. As a result, in addition to customers who play normally, the arcade is usually filled with a group of players who specialize in playing the competition.
They formed a squad specifically to fight against players from other cities outside of Makino City, and they also conducted various studies on this.
You could say they are the "pro gamers" at Dragon Arcade.
Many customers specifically spend game coins to play with them in order to compete against them.
The news immediately went viral throughout Zhongzhou Province.
"Holy crap! DragonTen has another match?"
"What competition?"
"It seems to be a weekly competition, and there's a cash prize for winning."
"Holy crap! Guys! There's no limit to the number of times you can register per week, only for those who win their defending matches, and each person gets two spots a day!"
"Charge! Charge! Charge!"
The next morning, a large number of customers flocked into the store and came to the front desk to find Xu Qingyi to register.
The competition was scheduled for the afternoon, with a cumulative six-hour schedule, and each participant could calculate their score for defending their title.
Many customers in the store arrived early to watch the arena set up by Lin Yifeng.
Because it was a temporary ring, the renovation cost was not much compared to usual. At most, someone was hired to build a base made of steel pipes, and various wires were strung around it to make it look like a boxing ring.
In the center of the arena, two arcade machines are linked together to form a battle, while above the players' heads, four monitors are simultaneously displaying the game's visuals.
These days, players have never seen a competition like this.
Everyone stood around the stage, staring at the two machines on it.
"Holy crap! This looks like boxing!"
"Brother Xu! What does this arena look like? Why don't you turn it on with electricity?"
"Let us see it first, Brother Xu! I'll top up fifty yuan right now if you see it once!"
At the urging of the crowd, Xu Qingyi went to the back room and turned on the power.
The entire stage was instantly illuminated with a dazzling array of colors. Several spotlights shone on the center of the ring, while various sounds from the Street Fighter anime emanated from the speakers around the ring.
This scene immediately ignited the passion of many customers below.
Even some customers who weren't usually interested in Street Fighter gathered around to watch.
These people never dreamed that playing video games could be so formal one day.
The news of the competition arena being set up inside the Dragon Arcade quickly spread throughout all the arcades in Makino City.
"I heard that Longteng has built an incredibly awesome arena."
