Chapter 143 Meow
The skinny monkey couldn't believe his ears.
At first, he was quite happy when he saw that the black market's customer flow today was double that of usual.
——The entire Area A has to pay him protection money, and the higher the turnover, the more commission he can get. Under normal circumstances, 90% of the black market's customer traffic would be concentrated in Area A.
Therefore, seeing so many people today, Skinny Monkey has begun to imagine how happy he will be when counting his money.
However... this happiness did not last long.
At first, he saw that the exit from Area A to Area B was crowded with people queuing up, and he was confused.
Could it be that there is a popular stall in Area B? The queue has actually extended all the way to Area A. It's quite a big scene.
He can also take a commission from the turnover of Area B, although not as much as Area A, but it is still profitable anyway.
So, out of curiosity, he went to the end of the line and found a mercenary to ask: "Um, what line are you guys in? Which snack stand in Area B?"
The mercenary gave him a strange look and said, "What snack stand in Area B? The one we are lining up is—"
At this time, the owner of the pancake stand in Area A came running over crying, shouting, "Brother, please take care of this. All our customers have run away. They are all lining up for that thing—"
“A simple porridge shop in District F!”
The mercenary and the pancake stand owner uttered the word in unison.
Skinny Monkey: “…”
Skinny Monkey: “……????”
A simple porridge shop in District F? !
The skinny monkey's eyes widened and he couldn't help but pick his ears with his little finger, almost thinking that he was hallucinating. But the two people in front of him spoke sincerely and confidently, and it didn't seem like they were lying.
The skinny monkey just felt that his breathing was becoming a little difficult.
The image of the handsome young man dragging the porridge bucket immediately appeared in his mind.
Could it be that...
No, it's impossible! Why should he? ! !
It takes ten minutes to walk from Area F to Area A. You tell me that this ten-minute journey is full of people? There must be thousands or tens of thousands of people queuing up here? ? Is it gold that he sells in his porridge shop? ! !
The skinny guy was having trouble breathing and couldn't help but press his philtrum twice, forcing himself to cheer up.
His face was pale, and he grabbed the mercenary's shoulder in front of him angrily, and asked frantically: "Are you crazy? The rubbish porridge in Area F is worth queuing up, and you queued all the way from Area F to Area A. Are you kidding me? "
"You, just talk, why do you have to do anything?" The mercenary's shoulder was hurt by his grip, and he turned away his hand unhappily, muttering, "I saw it with my own eyes, the porridge was not only hot and fragrant, but also cheap, and it can repair crystal cores... Anyone who doesn't buy it is a fool!"
The skinny monkey asked back in disbelief:
"Repair the crystal core? Isn't it just repairing the crystal core... Wait, what did you say, repair the crystal core???!!!"
His mouth slowly grew into an 'o' shape.
My jaw dropped to the ground.
An hour later.
"Brother Zhou, about that simple porridge shop..." Skinny Fly rubbed his hands and followed Li Zhou with sweat all over his forehead.
"I've heard about this from other people as well," Li Zhou gestured to stop him from saying anything, while walking quickly towards Area F. "If the porridge from this simple porridge shop is really as they say, it can repair the crystal core—"
A hint of greed and ruthlessness flashed in Li Zhou's eyes.
"He wants to continue setting up a stall in my black market? Okay, but from now on, he can only sell his porridge to me, Li Zhou!"
He closed his eyes and sniffed the faint aroma of porridge in the air, imagining that the porridge was constantly replenishing energy for his crystal core, and that he would become more and more powerful and more and more popular because of it...
Li Zhou couldn't help but reveal a smug smile.
The taste of power is fascinating.
This is Li Zhou’s biggest realization since he eliminated Mu Dongsheng.
When Mu Dongsheng was in a high position before, he was restricted in what he did. He had to care about this and worry about that, and he looked very depressed. But when Li Zhou actually sat in Mu Dongsheng's position, he discovered how refreshing it felt to be in a high position!
Whatever you want, you can get it with just one simple word.
So many people flocked to the porridge and lined up in long queues, but all he needed was a word and the owner of the porridge shop would be so humble and serve the porridge to them!
And he, Li Zhou, has an S-level lightning crystal core, and now he has the porridge that can continuously repair the crystal core. He can climb up the stairs of power, and finally, the whole world will bow down to him!
Just imagining it, Li Zhou felt the blood in his body boiling and trembling.
Suddenly, a voice beside him brought him back to reality.
"What if, what if the porridge shop owner doesn't agree?" the skinny monkey asked hesitantly.
For some reason, he always felt that the young man was not someone who would give in so easily.
That person gave Shouhou the feeling that he was not an ordinary person. Shouhou even felt that the young man set up the stall not to make money or make a living, but simply because he liked it and enjoyed the happiness of bringing delicious food to diners.
"Not willing?" Li Zhou opened his eyes somewhat unhappily, thinking about this possibility, and sneered, "Then use coercion and inducement until he agrees."
——"Go and tell my words. If he wants to continue making porridge, then he can only make it for me, Li Zhou, and other mercenaries can't have a share. If he doesn't want to... then don't even think about setting up a stall to sell porridge in this Eastern Base!"
The entire Eastern Base is Li Zhou’s territory.
Those who follow him will prosper, and those who go against him will perish!
Li Zhou just didn't believe that a mere porridge shop owner could have any backbone. After leaving the Eastern Base, could he still run outside the base to set up a stall?
Aliens are rampant outside the base. Let alone setting up a stall, even a mere porridge shop owner would have a problem surviving.
Li Zhou felt that he had already won the battle.
…So, when he walked all the way to Area F and saw the empty scene before him.
Li Zhou was dumbfounded.
The corner of the simple porridge shop in Area F has completely disappeared. There is no stove, no signboard, no casserole, and no smiling porridge shop owner.
Not only the boss, but even the diners scattered like birds and beasts.
...That's natural. The original purpose of their queuing here is to buy porridge. Even the porridge owner has left, so why are they still queuing?
"Brother Zhou, Brother Zhou," the skinny monkey was about to cry, "Boss Jian left a message for you, he said -"
"'Thanks for the invitation, but I'll decline.'"
Li Zhou: “…”
Li Zhou: “????”
Looking at the empty house in front of him, Li Zhou felt that all the energy in his body was used in his forehead, and his vision turned white. The next second, air gushed out from his ears, nostrils and mouth at the same time.
Li Zhou was furious.
.
Turn back the time a little.
When Jian Yunlan, who was busy packing porridge for the diners, heard the condition proposed by others, "either make porridge only for Li Zhou, or don't be allowed to sell porridge in the Oriental Base", he was stunned for a moment and asked two questions.
The first question is, "Who is Li Zhou?"
——The answer is that Li Zhou is the strongest mercenary in the Oriental Base now. His words are the golden rule in the Oriental Base and no one dares to disobey.
The second question was, "If we can't sell it inside the base, is it okay to sell porridge outside the base?"
——The answer is, huh? It seems... it seems like nothing is said. Outside the base is free territory. It is free but dangerous and no one is in charge. But boss, are you sure you want to set up the display outside the base? A normal person can’t survive more than three days outside the base!
After getting this answer, Jian Yunlan began to pack her bedding quickly.
joke.
He is the owner of a snack stand and he wants to bring delicious food to the world. If he only makes porridge for Li Zhou from now on, what will he become? Private chef? That was not his ambition.
If you can’t set up a stall inside the base, go outside the base.
Jian Yunlan’s train of thought is just that simple.
As for what kind of heterogeneity and safety,
The diners who were still in line saw Jian Yunlan start to pack up their bedding, and they panicked for a moment: "Boss, where are you going? We haven't bought our porridge yet!"
Jian Yunlan shook his head, handed over the last bowl of porridge that he had paid for, and explained to them regretfully:
"Sorry, for some reason, the boss can't sell porridge in the base. Let's meet outside the base tomorrow."
After saying that, he took the sign off his head, covered the porridge bucket, picked up the casserole, and left!
Come to think of it, it’s actually better that we can’t set up stalls in the base anymore.
Jian Yunlan vaguely remembered that there was a requirement in the task issued by the Kitchen God System this time, which was "Five hundred bowls of porridge must be sold within three days, no more than three days, and no less than three days." And now the second day is not over yet, Jian Yunlan has already sold more than 400 bowls of porridge, and she is afraid that she will sell 500 bowls today.
If we sell 500 bowls within two days, it would be considered a mission failure.
...I went to set up a stall outside the base. Although I didn't know if there would be any customers, at least I avoided direct mission failure.
Moreover, Jian Yunlan himself had long been fed up with the practice of collecting protection fees in the black market. Setting up stalls outside the base in the open air, with a vast sky and land, there are endless possibilities, which is also good!
Just go.
The thought of setting up a stall outdoors in a brand new environment in the end times is a little exciting.
As for the issue of safety...
Doesn’t he have an active mercenary and an ancient beast on his staff?
After leaving the black market and turning the corner, Jian Yunlan began to summon the divine beast:
"Master Taotie!"
The moonlight falls gently and the breeze blows.
A lazy voice sounded in my ears:
"Human, what do you want from me?"
.
At the same time, in the black market food area F.
The diners burst into tears behind the porridge shop owner who packed up and left at the speed of light.
Amid the howling of pain, someone whispered:
"It was all because of Li Zhou. He forced Boss Jian to either only make porridge for him or not sell porridge in the base anymore. He forced Boss Jian to leave!"
"Li Zhou has done so many bad things. When will he die!!!"
"Damn it, I really can't stand this shit anymore. Not only did they kill Captain Mu, but they also killed Captain Mu's former subordinates, and now they've forced Boss Jian to leave..."
"Fight him!!!" "Fight!!! A warrior can be killed but not humiliated!!!"
…The power of delicious food became the last straw that broke the camel’s back.
The mercenaries' long-accumulated resentment towards Li Zhou erupted!
