Chapter 41 Restaurant Completed
After careful consideration, the dwarves accepted the invitation to the Fantasy Park.
Several other intelligent races on this continent that are friendly with the dwarves were invited to serve as witnesses, namely the ground dragons, the puff birds and the dwarves.
"It's not easy to come here." said the Earth Dragon.
"That's right, the ticket prices for the teleportation array have increased." The dwarf was also very worried.
Puff birds flew above them, occasionally chirping, and their calls were very similar to the sound of a human chuckle.
Earth Dragon: "Have you heard of this place called Fantasy Paradise?"
Dwarf: "No."
Puff Bird: "Maybe it comes from another continent on the other side of the abyss rift."
The Earth Dragon said, "You're kidding me! Are there any living creatures on the other side of the abyss? I think the dwarves were deceived. Sending a few dozen of their people over there to be cooks, and they'll get someone to help strangle the monsters? Where in the world can you get such a good deal?"
The dwarf said: "Maybe the dwarfs will be cooked as soon as they get there. Their extraordinary talent is in making delicious food. Maybe their meat is especially delicious!"
Earth Dragon: "It's been a rumor for centuries and it's still circulating. Dwarf meat is not tasty. It's sour and smelly!"
The Puff Bird and the dwarf moved away from him at the same time, with fear in their eyes.
The Earth Dragon swung its tail and said disdainfully, "When I was little, I got into a fight with a dwarf and bit him. It nearly broke my teeth... With those looks on your faces, do you think I actually ate a dwarf? Pah! I'd rather eat shit than a dwarf."
The puff bird and the dwarf then moved closer to him. The dwarf said, "The dwarves have been living underground for years, and they've gotten even shorter. I think they're even shorter than us dwarves. Perhaps a powerful person passed by, and they couldn't wait to curry favor. Talk of free teleportation arrays and free monster-killing assistance is just empty talk."
The puff bird chuckled. "Little dwarf, you're describing the dwarfs in a rather vulgar way."
The dwarf shook his head. "It's just that the dwarfs are exaggerating. I heard from them that that powerful man has 100,000 extraordinary people under his command. Even the most powerful Kingdom of Theodore doesn't have so many extraordinary people. How could that be possible for someone who has never even heard of Fantasy Paradise?"
The Earth Dragon and the Puff Bird also thought the dwarf's words made sense. The Earth Dragon said, "Who cares? We're just going to be witnesses."
At this moment, a communication stone on the puff bird's claws lit up in the sky. The puff bird curled up its claws and responded, "Yes... yes, I'm almost reaching the dwarf elves' territory... Not only that, the dwarf elves are now very prosperous. They have curried favor with a powerful force and are said to have one million extraordinary people!"
Not long after, the ground dragon, the puff bird and the dwarf arrived at the territory of the dwarfs and were taken to a desolate town by the dwarf who was in charge of reception.
This place used to be one of the settlements of dwarfs, with large and small, unique dwarf houses. The dwarfs would also open up farmland in the town to grow crops. When the dwarfs were most prosperous in the old days, there were many foreigners living in the town. They liked the dwarf food, and every year merchants from various tribes came to purchase the sauces prepared by the dwarfs. Their footsteps back and forth created several wide and flat roads on the hard ground.
But now, the town's houses have collapsed, dust and cobwebs are everywhere, the farmland is overgrown with weeds, and the gate has collapsed, trampled into the soil by an unknown huge creature.
This is the dwarf elf town after it was invaded by monsters.
Seeing this scene, the ground dragon, the puff bird and the dwarfs were silent.
In recent years, more and more monsters have emerged from the rifts in the abyss. If the people living here were not the dwarf elves, but a weaker group with weaker abilities and fewer numbers, they would probably have been extinct long ago.
The Earth Dragon pointed to one of the collapsed houses and said, "I lived there when I was a child."
The dwarves saw the deserted town but showed no emotion. Perhaps they had already become numb.
Huo Huoqi said, "The people from Fantasy Park said they would come today. Let's wait here for a while."
This "while" lasted for a long time. During this time, some monsters smelled the scent of fresh flesh and blood and rushed over to enjoy the food. The dwarfs had no choice but to pick up their weapons and rush forward. Fortunately, the monsters that came were all low-level monsters. The dwarfs who rushed forward only suffered minor injuries and solved the monsters.
Just when the dwarf waited until dusk and suspected that he had been stood up, two figures, one male and one female, finally appeared from the distant horizon.
They were two very good-looking humans, with slender bodies that were agile and strong. The extraordinary factors floating around them were quite active, and it was obvious at first glance that they were extremely powerful.
The ground dragon, the puff bird and the dwarf all raised their eyes and observed the two humans curiously. When they found that they took out the materials and began to set up an expensive teleportation array, they were all surprised. The dwarf elf was not bragging!
The two people from the Fantasy Paradise set up two teleportation arrays, one not far from the gate of the dwarf town, and the other in the center of the dwarf town.
"The teleportation array at the entrance is filled with materials that attract monsters. Any monsters heading towards the town from the abyss rift will be attracted. Once they step into the array, they will be immediately transported to our Fantasy Paradise, where we will use it as a training ground for warriors." The lady named Chi Xiaozhen introduced with a gentle smile, "The teleportation array in the center of the town is specially prepared for the dwarves. It activates once a week, and the dwarves can travel back and forth during this time. This is a benefit we give to our employees."
The dwarf said in disbelief: "It really is an effective teleportation array."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man who had been standing silently beside Chi Xiaozhen spoke up, "Why? So you don't believe in the strength of our paradise?"
The man named Sal exerted considerable pressure on the dwarf. He quickly shook his head, only to hear Sal say, "But it doesn't matter. The dwarf's opinion is unimportant."
80cm tall dwarf: ...
Chi Xiaozhen glanced at Sal and said softly, "I'm sorry, my companion is a straightforward person. He says whatever he thinks. Actually, he is an honest man."
Strange races: ...
Madam, "honest man" doesn't seem to be a compliment. Are you really as gentle as you appear to be?
In short, under the witness of three other intelligent races, the contract between Fantasy Paradise and the dwarves was successfully signed.
During this time, Thrall turned his head and looked at the three of them for a while, then said, "You three have your own unique looks. Would you like to come work in our park? The pay is the same as the dwarves."
The Earth Dragon, the Poutchi Bird and the Dwarf shook their heads wildly. What a joke! They thought they could get a warrior to clean up monsters by working. They didn’t believe that there was a free lunch in the sky!
Seeing this, Thrall slowly shook his head, "I hope that one day you will stop being so envious of the dwarves."
The three of them looked at the dwarves, their gazes particularly fixed on Chief Hohochi.
But Chief Huo Huoqi's face didn't express any joy. To be honest, they didn't completely trust Fantasy Paradise. Contracts could only restrain normal people, not truly vicious criminals. The real reason they agreed to Fantasy Paradise was fear of power! It wasn't greed, as the three speculated.
Chi Xiaozhen put away the contract and said with a smile, "Then the teleportation array will be opened in two days. I hope you will like the working environment of the paradise by then."

Earth, Jinan City.
Since no one interfered and the boss fully respected the designer's aesthetic, Meng Le's design work went very smoothly and happily. She finished the design drawings of the three-story restaurant in one day. The moment she received the boss's affirmation, she felt a strong sense of pride in her heart. The moment her personal value was satisfied, her sense of belonging to the park became stronger.
There were no repeated requests for revisions from the client, no setbacks or questions, no back-and-forth adjustments to go in strange directions. All she had to do was follow her own aesthetic and ideas. This wasn't a job; it was personal freedom! Add to that the good salary, generous benefits, and short hours—it was practically heaven! If her classmates who stayed in first-tier cities knew she'd found such a reliable job in the small city of Jin'an, they'd probably be shocked!
However, while Meng Le was happy, she was also filled with sorrow. At night, she dreamed that the theme park went bankrupt and netizens scolded her because her boss and colleagues were too unreliable. She also lost her job and had to take the painful civil service exam. Then she woke up with a start.
Because of poor sleep, Meng Le came to work yawning that day. Before he turned on his computer, he suddenly heard the sound of clanging and the movement of machines not far away.
She exclaimed and turned her head to look out the window. Outside the office window, she could see a flat piece of land. At this moment, a construction team was operating large machinery on the land, obviously building a restaurant.
Meng Le stared at it for a while, then suddenly rubbed her eyes vigorously. Was it her imagination? Why did it feel like the workers were operating at double speed?
At this time, Meng Xiaodai called her, "Le Le, the boss asked you to hurry up and finish the design of the office area."
Meng Le uttered an "oh" twice and hurried off to work. She worked until five in the afternoon. When she was packing up and leaving work, she subconsciously glanced out the window. The next moment, she was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out of her head.
The entire framework of that three-story restaurant has actually been completed!!!
She patted her head and began to suspect that she was dreaming. When she came early the next morning and found that the construction team was already doing interior decoration of the restaurant, she felt that she had become numb.
"Le Le, when the construction team is working, just watch and don't go over there, or something bad will happen."
Senior Meng Xiaodai suddenly said this to her.
Meng Le swallowed, feeling a sense of mystery surrounding her. She trembled and said, "Something bad."
Meng Xiaodai smiled and patted her. "You're silly! Of course you could be hit by the steel plate! Besides, it's dusty over there, and getting your hair dirty is not good."
"Oh, so that's it!" Meng Le breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he'd really overthought. With the park's advanced technology, building a three-story restaurant in a single day wasn't a big deal, right? Calm down, calm down.
During the two days when Meng Le's worldview was refreshed, the restaurant was completed, all the tableware and fresh ingredients were brought in, and the restaurant officially opened for business.
