The Sichuan pepper hot pot base has finally opened for business.
The green Sichuan peppercorns were quickly infused with a numbing flavor by the hot oil, while the Sichuan peppercorns playfully hid in the gaps between the ingredients, waiting to give diners a little surprise.
At that moment, the numbing sensation will gradually spread from the tip of your tongue until it takes over your entire mouth, making you both love and hate it.
The diners are still waiting.
The young man took out a teleportation device and tapped it repeatedly, avoiding everyone's gaze.
In the city lord's mansion, Cang Heguang was still awake.
He was looking through some files, all of which concerned information about a cult called "Fallen Immortal Society".
This cult is large in scale and has traces of its presence in every state.
Several months ago, the other party appeared in Hong'an City. By the time Cang and Guang discovered the clues, the other party had already established a casino here and deeply rooted themselves in the city.
Countless gamblers were lured by the other party and stepped into an abyss of no return.
However, some innocent people were also exploited, leading them to their deaths.
During this period of investigation, he discovered that the Fallen Immortals Society used a special method to make people lose their minds in casinos, focusing solely on gambling.
He also used methods to imprison the gamblers in an attempt to isolate them from the influence.
But it had no effect.
The gamblers were impossible to communicate with; no matter what you said, they kept screaming that they wanted to go back to the casino.
Cang and Guang didn't care about those desperate gamblers, but some of the people in Hong'an City were innocent, including many who were truly unfortunate.
As the city lord, he needed to consider these people's needs.
So he sent an undercover agent into the casino, hoping to find out what methods the other party used to control the gamblers and thus resolve the matter.
To avoid being exposed, he instructed his undercover agents not to contact him unless absolutely necessary.
Little did they know that the other party would completely lose contact two days after entering the casino.
Just as he was considering whether or not to go and rescue the person, the undercover agent sent a letter.
“Lord of the city, the Fallen Immortals have used an evil technique called ‘Insect Curse’ to control these gamblers. I have discovered that there is no way to break this evil technique.”
The undercover agent was very nervous.
My heart is still pounding.
To infiltrate and uncover the truth, one must not reveal any flaws and needs to blend in with the gamblers.
At first, he gambled a little while inquiring about the situation.
He should report to the city lord immediately after discovering this information.
Let's take a gamble, and take one last gamble.
For some inexplicable reason, such a thought popped into his mind at that time. He didn't realize the problem when it arose, and instead followed his desires and continued gambling.
Later, his memories became hazy.
All I know is that I've been drifting aimlessly in the gambling game, like a lost soul without any thought.
They arrived in good health, but they can't go back.
bet.
Bet on gambling.
If nothing unexpected happens, his fate won't be much better.
Until that fragrance pulled him out of the chaos.
The young man recounted his experiences to Cang Heguang in detail, naturally including the existence of Lu Wu.
"The skewers can break the curse of insect slaying. The owner is a young woman who runs a small stall."
"Skewered night-blooming jasmine, so delicious!"
As Cang and Guang read the description in their study, it felt increasingly familiar.
He knew that Lu Wu had come to Hong'an City and had purchased a lot of ingredients. He thought she was there to serve the evil dragon, but it turned out she had gone to set up a stall.
This stall was even set up right at the entrance of the Tiandi Casino.
Selling skewers at the entrance of a cult, both Cang and Guang had to admire Lu Wu's audacity.
On second thought, he understood. Lu Wu probably didn't know that Tiandi Casino was problematic. After all, based on his understanding of this Boss Lu, the location where he set up his stall was always very arbitrary.
If you can set up a stall in a secret realm, why can't you do it in front of a casino?
But what caught Cang Heguang's attention even more was the effect of the other party's skewers.
The ice jelly in the secret realm, the skewers in front of the casino—it always feels like the food that Boss Lu sells is very targeted.
A man of great fortune, his reputation is well-deserved.
Cang and Guang, not wanting to delve too deeply, decided to go and check out Lu Wu's business themselves.
While I'm at it, I'll also buy the evil dragon's food for this month.
Unwilling to admit that he was simply curious about what skewers tasted like, Cang and Guang transformed into a slightly lewd-looking burly man and disappeared from the room.
Meanwhile, Lu Wu had just seen off those guests.
[Task Progress: 13/200]
Looking at it this way, she's still a long way from completing her mission.
"Why!"
Lu Wu sighed, rubbed the dog's head, and then teased the little bird, Huo Huo.
"Hey boss, how much are these skewers?"
A flippant voice rang out. Looking in the direction of the voice, he saw a man standing in front of his stall—a lewd-looking middle-aged man.
Looking at the greasy smile on the other person's face, Lu Wu really wanted to call the police—no, to call the law enforcement team.
This kind of older man looks like he likes to bully innocent young girls.
Fortunately, she wasn't innocent.
While inwardly complaining, Lu Wu raised a polite smile that revealed eight teeth.
"Guest, it's written here."
She pointed to the sign.
Are you blind? Can't you read such big words?
The big man, who was actually Cang Heguang in disguise, felt that the other party didn't seem to like him and spoke in a sarcastic tone.
It's an illusion, it must be an illusion.
The city lord, renowned for his might and might, should be loved by everyone.
"Um, may I have the whole place to myself?"
Cang Heguang asked.
This was a word he learned from Lu Wu and the other diners.
"I can, but can you finish it?"
She puts a lot of effort into making all her food; wasting it would be a sin against heaven.
"sure."
Not only him, but also the evil dragon, and those irrational gamblers still imprisoned.
