The father and son of Lu Hai left swearing. Lu Hongcheng was so proud of himself in front of his fiancée, but now he was slapped in the face. His face was very ugly.

Fang Yingying said, "Hongcheng, then can our seafood restaurant still be opened?"

Lu Hongcheng looked at Lu Hai.

Lu Hai was silent for a long time, "Open, of course we have to open!"

Lu Hongcheng said dissatisfiedly: "Dad, we are not really going back to kowtow and cry for the dead, are we? If we had known this would happen, we would not have lost a piece of meat if we went to take a look at the beginning. Now it has become a handle in his hand."

Lu Hai was also very angry. How could he have thought that this wild child he picked up could really make a name for himself? If he could have expected this day, he would have listened to the old man and adopted Lu Jiu, and there would not be so many troubles today.

"Beep! Beep!"

Lu Hai turned his head and saw a commercial vehicle parked on the side of the road. The car was a brand that people like them dared not even think about.

A man in a suit and leather shoes got off the car with a friendly smile, "Hello, the boss wants to invite Mr. Li to get in the car for a chat."

Li Hai looked at the car, then at the man in front of him, and his mind became active. Could it be that a big boss knew that he was Li Jiu's uncle and wanted to talk to him about cooperation? Thinking of this possibility, Li Hai followed without hesitation.

Li Hongcheng and Fang Yingying were stopped, and only Li Hai could get on the car.

Li Hai just got on the car, and before Liao Tingyue spoke, he put a bundle of cash on the armrest, "Tell me about Li Jiu, from small to big, no matter how big or small, I want to know."

Li Hai's eyes lit up when he saw the money.

Rujiu asked the system to help him keep an eye on whether anyone with the surname Liao sneaked into the store. He didn't know the Liao family, so he wouldn't know if they sneaked in. Only the Chef God system could find them.

After waiting for a whole day, no one from the Liao family showed up. However, Jiang Ge came at dinner time. It

was Jiang Ge's first time to dine on the second floor, and he was deeply shocked by the Forest Restaurant on the second floor. He asked Rujiu which decoration company he hired, as he also wanted to open a restaurant of the same style. Rujiu asked him to give up his fantasy, as his Forest Restaurant could not be copied.

Jiang Ge came here, not only because he missed the delicious food here, but also because he wanted to ask Rujiu for a favor.

"What favor?" Lu Jiu was the first to remind, "The ingredients of the Magic Fish Shop cannot be shared with you, and the remaining octopus and bluefin cannot be shared with you either."

Jiang Ge: "..."

Does he look like a person who is begging for money?

Jiang Ge was a little embarrassed, "I can see that you have the best relationship with Xu. Your words may be useful. I want to join Xu's team seven, but Xu doesn't want me. He said that I have no advantages except running fast. If I go, I will just take up a quota."

Lu Jiu: "..."

Lu Jiu heard from Xu Xu that Jiang Ge refused to join the "Special Security Department". Why is he rushing to join now? Or does he just want to follow Xu Xu and go wherever Xu Xu goes?

Jiu Jiu said, "Is there not enough quota for Team Seven?"

Jiang Ge slapped the table and said, "Of course not. There are only ten quotas. Excluding Asu himself, there are still nine quotas left. Asu can choose from the entire 'Special Security Department'. The existing enhanced personnel are almost all in the hands of the Army. Asu will naturally not compete with the Army for people. He chooses quasi-enhanced personnel and reservists, which means there are more people. Everyone wants to join Team Seven, but the quota is limited."

Nine quotas, if Jiang Ge is accepted, one quota will be occupied.

Jiu Jiu looked at him strangely, "This is a public matter. It is not something that I, an outsider, can say. You have to apply for it yourself."

Si Xu must have his considerations for selecting people, and Jiu Jiu did not want to interfere with his decision.

Jiang Ge finished his meal with his head down and decided to go talk to Si Xu again.

Not long after Jiang Ge left, Si Xu came. Lu Jiu prepared two dinners and accompanied Si Xu to finish the meal.

Lu Jiu did not mention that Jiang Ge was looking for him, but Si Xu took the initiative

to bring it up. Si Xu rejected Jiang Ge to put pressure on him. If Jiang Ge really wanted to join the "Special Security Department", he would definitely not be able to act so casually in the future. Jiang Ge was used to being casual and doing things based on his preferences. If he was allowed to join easily, he might find it boring after a while or leave because the training was too hard. The "Special Security Department" is not a vegetable market. It is impossible to come and go as you please.

Lu Jiu understood that Si Xu also wanted to give Jiang Ge more time so that he could think it over.

The world is changing, and no one knows what it will be like in the future. If you want to protect yourself and your family, you have to become stronger.

On the first day, Jiu Jiu did not wait for the Liao family, and continued to observe on the second day.

As soon as Jiu Jiu arrived at the door of the store, he saw an old lady with crutches. The old lady's son was supporting her. The old lady was none other than the one who came to eat in a wheelchair two days ago. She ate two meals a day for two consecutive days. This was the third day. The old lady could already stand up and walk slowly with crutches. One leg was still not flexible, and half of her face was no longer paralyzed.

There were many people around the old lady, some taking pictures, some talking to her. The old lady spoke clearly, and had no sequelae of paralysis. She was very friendly and let others take pictures. When others asked her how she felt after eating seafood, she answered them one by one.

The old lady came to the store to eat two days ago, sitting in a wheelchair. Many people saw it. Today she can walk with crutches. If you didn't see it with your own eyes, no one would believe that the food in the Magic Fish Restaurant could be so magical.

The old lady's surname is Fu, and her son has her surname, named Fu Xi.

Fu Xi saw Lu Jiu coming over, whispered a few words to the old lady, let her stand steadily, and Fu Xi went over to say hello to Lu Jiu.

Fu Ji stretched out his hand from a distance, "Boss Ji, thank you so much, we never thought my mother could recover to this extent."

Ji Jiu stretched out his hand and shook his hand.

Fu Ji held Ji Jiu's hand tightly, and Ji Jiu fully felt his excitement and gratitude.

The voice of the system suddenly appeared in his mind.

[Host, there is a sentence that the system doesn't know whether it should say or not.]

Ji Jiu:...

Ji Jiu: If you don't want to say it, you can keep silent.

[This matter has something to do with the host and the male god, I will ask you out loud, if the host is willing to pay the magic value, I will tell you.]

Ji Jiu:... Is the way to cheat the magic value now going the fishing route?

[……]

[If you don’t want to know, forget it. When you are poached by someone else, you’d better not regret it! ]

Lu Jiu immediately asked: How much mana?

Lu Jiu would definitely like to know about this matter that is related to him and Si Xu.

[Big sale, only 5 mana points are needed.]

Lu Jiu: ...

Lu Jiu: Goodbye, I won't ask you anymore.

[You have so much mana, why are you still saving so much?]

Lu Jiu: Mana should be used on the blade.

[This is the blade right now. You will not lose anything if you know this news, and neither will your male god. It will also be of great benefit to your country. Fu

Ji was still expressing his gratitude, "If you have any problems in the future, just tell Boss Lu, and we, the Fu family, will help you. We will never refuse."

Lu Jiu: "Don't be so polite, it's a matter of money."

They paid to eat in the restaurant, and Lu Jiu was responsible for the reception. It was indeed a matter of money.

Fu Ji said, "I know that Boss Lu knows that the fried dragon meat is good for my mother's health, so he sent it to us. We, the Fu family, will remember this kindness."

[Quick, host, what's your decision? You can get a boost by spending 5 magic points. You can't buy a loss or be cheated. A great opportunity is in front of you. Do you really want to let it slip away? 】

藺九: ...

藺九: ...Deduct it.

藺九 realized that the matter might be related to Fu Ji in front of him. Seeing that the system was lobbying so hard, 藺九 already had a vague guess.

【5 points of magic value have been deducted. 】

【The one in front of the host is a Ruta who is in the awakening period. If the awakening is successful, he will live, and if the awakening fails, he will die. The Ruta people are extremely loyal. The host can help him awaken the Ruta bloodline and gain the loyalty of the Ruta people. 】

藺九: ...

藺九: ...

藺九: What kind of race is the Ruta?

【One of the intelligent races on the land of the Demon Sea plane. They are born with two forms, human and beast, and have strong combat power. The former Ruta tribe had received favors from the Demon Spirit Tribe, and they dedicated their loyalty to the Demon Spirit Tribe, and were the Demon Spirit Tribe's most valiant warriors. Now a great opportunity is in front of the host, and it depends on whether the host can seize it. 】

Lu Jiu:...

Is there any reason not to seize it? You must seize it!

It's just...

Lu Jiu was worried: To help him wake up, don't you need to use gene enhancers?

He himself lacks gene enhancers, so how can he help others?

[It's better if you have it, but it doesn't matter if you don't, you can wake up smoothly by feeding him with magic food and magic wine. 】

Lu Jiu: ???

[The blood of the Demon Sea descendants has become messy and thin due to long-term intermarriage. It is difficult for them to fully awaken, and the stronger the racial genes, the more difficult it is to awaken. The Demon Spirit Clan is the most difficult one. ]

[Everything has two sides. There are exceptions when there is mediocrity. There are pure and thick ones when there is messiness and thinness. Such people will die of exhaustion if they cannot get magic essence replenishment. This is the case with the male god, and so will Fu Yu. It's just that he hasn't started yet. He has already awakened because he has eaten four meals of ingredients containing magic essence in a row. The awakening of the Ruta Clan is not as difficult as that of the Demon Spirit Clan. Using magic meals can help him awaken. 】

Lu Jiu looked at Fu Ji again, his eyes had changed. He really wanted to see what the beastly state of the Ruta tribe looked like. He had seen Zang Ye turn into a live bear with his own eyes, so he was very receptive to such things.

Lu Jiu said, "Mr. Fu, are you free after lunch? I want to talk to you about something."

Fu Ji was stunned, and immediately nodded, "I'm free, I'm free."

Lu Jiu said, "Okay, you go and line up, and let the old lady go into the store and wait first."

The old lady was leaning on a crutch, and she was not very stable when she stood. Lu Jiu felt a little bit sorry for her standing and waiting in the cold wind.

Fu Ji thanked him repeatedly and went to talk to the old lady.

Today, two more part-time waiters were replaced, Lin Han and Cheng Cheng. Jiu Jiu asked them to inform the people who were waiting at the table and the elderly people who were waiting next to them could go into the store and wait.

Mrs. Fu didn't want the boss to make an exception for her and wanted to decline. But when she heard that all the elderly people could go into the store and wait, she didn't refuse and went into the store with the help of Lin Han. Several other elderly people were also helped into the store to wait.

Jiu Jiu went to the kitchen to prepare lunch and continued to wait for the Liao family to arrive.

At lunch, besides the set meal, Lu Jiu gave Mrs. Fu a special portion of pan-fried flower dragon meat, which was good for the old lady's health. Fu Yu and the old lady knew that they were very grateful to Lu Jiu. When paying, they wanted to add the money for the pan-fried flower dragon meat, but Lu Jiu refused to accept it. How could he charge someone for the gift?

At lunch, there was still no reminder from the Chef God System that the Liao family did not come.

After lunch, Lu Jiu asked Yong Cheng and Lin Han to clean up a private room, and took the mother and son of the Fu family who stayed behind to the room.

Lu Jiu looked at the old lady carefully. The old lady's facial features were very three-dimensional. She didn't look like a pure Asian. She might have Western blood. Looking at Fu Yu again, there was no trace of mixed blood at all.

Lu Jiu got straight to the point and asked, "Grandma, is the bloodline of your Fu family different from that of ordinary people?"

Grandma Fu kept smiling. When she lowered her eyes to tidy up her clothes, a trace of haze flashed in her eyes. When she raised her eyes again, she had recovered her amiable and friendly appearance.

"It is a little different. My ancestors came from the West, and my branch has settled here for several generations."

Lu Jiu was surprised. Does that mean there are also Ruta people in the West?

Lu Jiu was thinking about how to start.

He called the system: If I directly say the Ruta people, will it be a violation?

[No, as long as the host does not actively reveal the existence of the system and the Demon Sea plane, it will not be considered a violation.]

In this way, Lu Jiu felt relieved.

Lu Jiu: "Old lady, do you know the Ruta tribe?"

Lu Jiu's direct ball came so fast and unexpectedly that the old lady was caught off guard and was stunned on the spot. She had no time to hide her expression, and it was all exposed in front of Lu Jiu.

On the contrary, Fu Ji had a blank look on his face, as if he didn't know anything about the Ruta tribe.

The old lady's lips trembled, and her old face trembled. Her old eyes stared at Lu Jiu, "You...how do you know this tribe? Who sent you?!"
