Chapter 47 Chapter 47 Extra points?
Although there were no plans to fight monsters today, there were still many things waiting for them in the gang. Li Zi and his friends did not stay long. Soon after eating the steamed buns and steamed buns, they got up and said goodbye.
Tang Li packed up the freshly cooked steamed buns and flower rolls, and first sent them to the door, asking them to take them to Benming Mantou and others to try.
After a few people left, Tang Li read for a while.
It was not until noon that the sun in the yard became unbearable, and Tang Li closed the book with reluctance.
Her current knowledge intake was not enough to refine new potions. After returning to her room and taking a nap, Tang Li took out the crucible in the afternoon and refined several potions that she currently possessed.
All the potions were stuffed into the gang warehouse. The day was almost over. The temperature at night was around 10 degrees, which was a comfortable level. Tang Li thought that she had been busy with potions and cooking for the past two days and seemed to have paid less attention to the restaurant.
"Let's just go over there." Tang Li stretched and stood up, then walked out slowly with Xirang.
We arrived at the restaurant during the busiest time of the evening.
After a day of fighting monsters, the players finally have some free time and want to reward themselves with a delicious meal. The natives have also finished a day of hard work and can finally sit down and rest and have a good meal with their family.
Tang Li even saw the NPC guards who surrounded the black-robed people yesterday.
Tang Li first went next door to buy a drink, then went around to the back door and into the kitchen.
"Boss?!" The employees were surprised and happy to see Tang Li. The boss had said before that he would go into seclusion to read books, and they thought they wouldn't see her for a while, but they didn't expect her to come today.
To be honest, although Aunt Tiger and the Elf brothers can basically handle things on their own, and the gang also delivers food every day, when Tang Li appears, they still have a sense of security that they have found a backbone.
"Let me do it." Feeling a little embarrassed by the eager gazes of several people, Tang Li took over one of the stoves and started cooking according to the system prompts.
"Okay, then I'll leave this place to the boss. I'll go outside to greet the guests." The tall and handsome elf waved his hand elegantly, lifted the kitchen curtain and walked out.
I don’t know if it was intentional, but the next second Tang Li heard a surprised gasp from outside.
What exactly happened? They should be a legitimate restaurant, there is no need to sell beauty, right?
"Boss, you don't know, after the three fresh vegetables became popular, everyone wanted to eat it, but the amount we can supply in a day is limited. After a long time, the customers are bound to be upset, and these young people wanted to appease the customers... and then it became like this." Uncle Drew came in just now and saw Tang Li's expression. While he was busy working, he directly explained the confusion to her.
"...Young man, don't you love Lan?"
"That's right, the customers are forcing her to do this," Uncle Drew and Aunt Tiger nodded. "She already has a lot of customers, and although the extra customers lately are mostly here for the local delicacies, they always have to take some home. Poor Ailan is almost too busy, and she also has to consider the customers' feelings."
"Well, I'm glad our restaurant is popular, but your feelings are also important. Don't put yourself in a difficult position next time." Tang Li finished one order and immediately started the next one. "Since there are so many customers, let's hire a few more people. As for the supply of raw materials, I'll think of a way."
Although as more and more camps are upgraded to towns and teleportation arrays are unlocked, the flow of people in their town is also increasing. In this case, even if the restaurant supplies more, it cannot meet the needs of all customers, but we must always have the attitude of solving problems.
She was quite satisfied with her employees. If they ran away because of something wronged, she would cry.
Her salary had just been increased a few days ago, and it was not convenient for her to increase it again in such a short interval, so she could only try to reduce her workload.
Among the employees, Aunt Tiger is the most reliable, and the others also have excellent work abilities. Except for the chef who needs to be taught skills, the old employees can help train other newcomers, and they should be able to take up their posts soon.
Tang Li was thinking in her mind when she heard familiar laughter outside.
"Hahaha, charming lady, you are so cute." The elf Green's hearty voice was very loud. Tang Li looked over from the kitchen and saw that this person was surrounded by many guests and seemed to be in his element.
Then, Lanser's voice came through: "Brother, let me tell you, when I was an adventurer..."
This guy is no less capable than his brother. While serving dishes, he can also chat with the adventurer next door.
Tang Li: "..." Suddenly I felt like I was worrying too much. They clearly seemed to be enjoying it.
Shaking his head in amusement, Tang Li still had no intention of changing his mind.
I should ask Qingtuan if we can expand the gang's territory. Even though these two people don't seem to need it, the shy Ailan obviously can't complete the transformation in a short period of time. She will feel more at ease if there are more people in the store.
Next, she will definitely focus on the topic of combining pharmacy and cooking, taking an innovative approach. She probably won't have time to cook food in batches with everyone like before.
A lot of new members have joined the gang in the past two days. If the scale is expanded, the amount of tasks should not be too large. If that doesn't work, she can use her own contribution as a reward, which should attract many gang members to do farming tasks.
However, Tang Li felt that it should not come to this. As far as she knew, the farming tasks in the gang were still quite popular. This could be seen from the amount of raw materials received by her, the gang life players, and the restaurant.
Of course, Tang Li is not afraid even if it is really difficult to contribute. As the current number one on the gang contribution list, Tang Li does not need to convert it into real currency to maintain real life like others. So many contributions are just sitting there, so it is better to use them.
It just so happened that the planting space in her home could be expanded. At the beginning, she thought that 5,000 plots of land would be enough for her for a long time. After planting more medicinal herbs from books these days, the space was a little insufficient.
Just mention it when you get the seeds. Tang Li came back to his senses and continued cooking.
We were busy until 7pm when the restaurant officially closed.
"Thank you for your hard work." Tang Li breathed a sigh of relief. The customers were so enthusiastic that the shop was supposed to close at 6 o'clock, but due to everyone's constant persuasion, it was delayed until 7 o'clock. "The extra time will be counted as overtime pay for you."
"Great!" the employees cheered.
After the fun, looking at the bustling street scene outside, Auntie Tiger sighed: "In fact, the night is the busiest and most idle time. If we continue to operate, two or three hours at night should be enough for a whole day."
"That's too tiring, and we don't have so many things to sell." Don't be fooled by the fact that their business is in full swing now, that's because they are still limiting purchases. If the restrictions are lifted, the day's inventory will be sold out in less than an hour.
"That was before," Aunt Tiger glanced at Tang Li disapprovingly. "Boss, didn't you just say you wanted to hire more people to expand the supply of raw materials? This way, we can have two shifts. One shift will be busy from morning to afternoon, and the other will be busy from afternoon to late at night, so we can rest at night."
"Don't worry about the chefs. I can take over one shift, and the other will be handed over to Brothers Green and Lancer."
Tang Li: ...
Aunt Tiger's ambition makes her ashamed.
"We can!" Green and Lancer are actually in the same group with her. What's wrong with these people? Why do they have such a strong sense of professionalism?
This will make her look like a loser, okay?
There are actually employees who force their boss to work double shifts, which is really going against the will of heaven.
Tang Li wanted to complain, but she didn't dare to speak under the burning gazes of Aunt Tiger and the elf brothers.
"I'll think about it," Tang Li said tiredly, looking at the dissatisfied eyes of several people, "whether it's recruiting people or expanding the scale, there will always be time."
"We can just put up a piece of paper at the door to recruit people. We don't even need to go to the service hall. Boss, tell me the number of positions and the types of jobs you're looking for. I'll go back and put it up right away so we can have an interview when you come tomorrow," Aunt Tiger said hurriedly. "Also, you have to figure out the raw materials as soon as possible."
"...Okay." Tang Li nodded, almost pointing to the sky and swearing that she would do it.
She's so curly. Why is she surrounded by so many curly people?
She finally discovered that whenever she had some unruly thoughts, these people would always force her to back down.
It's talking about Xirang.
I’ve decided. I’ll research new cooking methods when I get back.
But before that, she had to complete the task assigned by Aunt Tiger.
After coming out of the restaurant, Tang Li went straight to the gang’s base.
She often came here to check on the farming tasks and was already very familiar with the gang's base. She greeted each other with gang members she knew along the way. It was not until she entered the finance office that she breathed a sigh of relief and touched her somewhat stiff smile.
Sure enough, she still couldn't adapt to being with too many people.
"Why do you always look so bitter and resentful every time you come to the gang?" Qingtuan was amused by Tang Li for the umpteenth time. He stood up and hugged her warmly, pinching her face and rubbing it. "You look so pitiful."
"Sister Qingtuan, stop teasing me. I already called you sister, so please let me go." The golden-silk queen wearing krypton gold clothing had a strong aura, and even her smile was full of domineering spirit. Tang Li was particularly afraid of getting along with such a person, and always felt that she would become the other's toy if she was not careful.
"Okay, you're really not easy to joke with. Tell me why you came to see me?" Qingtuan returned to his seat with a look of regret on his face, and asked with his chin propped up.
"I'm here to get the high-quality wheat seeds from this period. In addition, I also want to apply to expand the gang's land." Tang Li told Qingtuan that there were too many customers and the Doom Restaurant was going to expand.
"No problem, I'll arrange it. Is 50,000 pieces of land enough for a one-time expansion?" Qingtuan took out the seeds and handed them to Tang Li, and agreed to her expansion request very readily.
This decisive and efficient look made Sui Nian Ru Ge, who happened to be there to apply for funding, envious and cry.
How much does 50,000 yuan of land cost? It was Qingtuan, this super stingy guy, who actually asked for it!
Is there any justice in this world? He came here yesterday and applied for a few more night vision potions, but was criticized.
Is this the difference between people?
Sui Nian Ru Ge looked at Tang Li with admiration, wanting the boss to teach him this set of skills.
He also hoped that one day he would apply for something randomly, and Qingtuan would not only have no objection, but also be very considerate and ask him if he had enough money.
Isn't this the life that the gods in the legend live? Just thinking about it made him feel like laughing.
Sui Yue Ru Ge's expression was so rich and easy to understand that for a moment Tang Li began to wonder if she had awakened her mind-reading ability, otherwise why could she see so much information from his face.
But she was going to disappoint Sui Nian Ru Ge. In fact, she was also surprised that Qing Tuan would grant her so much land. Although the whole gang was farming it together, she had no idea that such a large sum of money would be used to buy land all at once.
"I think you're overthinking it. How could Boss Qingtuan possibly listen to me in everything?" It was a good thing she didn't tease her.
"Haha, if you also want this treatment, you will also bring enough benefits to the gang like Xiaoli. In that case, I will approve it for you no matter how many gold coins it is." Qingtuan also saw through Sui Nian Ruge's thoughts, snorted, and replied.
"Oh, oh, oh..." Sui Yue Ru Ge burst into tears. Isn't this just because she thinks he is useless?
Sui Yue Ru Ge was just about to defend herself when a noise came from the living room in the distance.
"What's going on? It seems to be my natal bun?" Sui Nian Ru Ge immediately forgot what she wanted to say and ran out with an excited and gossipy look on her face.
"Let's go out and take a look." Qingtuan stood up with a frown as he heard the noise outside getting louder and louder.
"Okay." Tang Li nodded. Benming Mantou was a very outgoing person. After fighting monsters together for the past two days, Tang Li had a good impression of him. It was obvious that something was happening outside at this moment, and she certainly couldn't just stand by and watch.
The two of them quickly caught up with the times.
"What's going on, Benming Mantou, why are you so loud? What happened?" Suiyue Ruge strode into the room, followed closely by Tang Li and Qingtuan.
"Wow, there are so many people." After entering the room, Sui Nian Ru Ge found that in addition to Ben Ming Mantou, several regiment leaders, the logistics manager MM, the gang leader and several deputy gang leaders were all there.
Tang Li and Qing Tuan, the only two people not present, were only one step behind him at this moment.
"What happened with such a big scene?" Sui Nian Ru Ge was shocked.
Tang Li and Qingtuan looked at each other, also a little confused.
If there was good news, such as finding a new dungeon or monster spawning spot, everyone's expressions would probably be happier.
But from the looks of it, these people's expressions were even more confused than Tang Li and the other two who had just entered.
Could it be that the gang could no longer hold on and was about to close down? Tang Li couldn't help but guess the worst.
No, she quite likes their gang, no matter the people in the gang or the gang's land. She has just approved 50,000 yuan of land. What if the gang goes bankrupt?
He looked at Tang Li with a strange expression, unable to express himself clearly, and always felt that she was thinking about something strange.
"My destiny, you speak."
"Okay." Benming Mantou came back to his senses and nodded to Cibudeyi, his tone a little vague. "Here's the thing. Didn't I go out to fight monsters early this morning? I only came back from outside just now..."
"Get to the point." Qingtuan rolled his glasses and said impatiently.
She had a lot of documents to review and really didn't have time to listen to his meaningless stories.
"The next step is the key point. Don't be so anxious..." Benming Mantou glared at her aggrievedly, then looked at Tang Li, "After returning, the gang leader said that Xiaoli had developed a new batch of flower rolls and steamed buns and asked me to come and get them."
"...and then?" Qingtuan held his breath.
Tang Li was also confused. What did this have to do with her?
"Benming, are you sick? If you want to say something, just say it quickly. I have already received the night vision potion and I will fight a monster soon." Sui Nian Ru Ge was also speechless. So many people were sitting here. Benming Mantou must be so bold today that he dared to waste everyone's time like this?
"Okay... Then I came here happily to claim it. And because I was tired after killing monsters all day, I just started eating the steamed bun here, wanting to take a break. But guess what happened?!" Benming Steamed Bun said this and deliberately kept everyone in suspense.
“…” If looks could kill, my beloved bun would have been shattered into pieces.
"You're really mean today." Sui Nian Ru Ge gritted her teeth.
"..." Tang Li saw that Benming Mantou was still in the mood to show off, and quickly realized that it should not be a bad thing. In this case, she felt relieved.
Tang Li relaxed completely, looking lazily at how to pull her natal bun.
"They are the only three people here who don't know about this, so stop making trouble." Finally, Ju Lizi couldn't stand it anymore and shook his head to stop Benming Mantou's suicidal behavior.
"Oh," Benming Mantou's arrogance faded, "Then after I finished eating the mantou, the system prompted me to gain a little magic resistance."
“Damn!”×3.
After laying the groundwork for so long without saying anything, he actually said such scary words in such a calm tone in the end. Tang Li and the other two were shocked when they heard it.
"Magic resistance, really?"
“Why the sudden increase?”
"Are you sure you only ate the steamed bun? Did you eat anything else, or did you just change your equipment?"
What is magic resistance? It is the resistance to magic damage. When this attribute is increased to a certain level, the enemy cannot break through the defense.
Currently, in addition to natural upgrades, only some equipment has corresponding entries to increase magic resistance. Now Benming Mantou tells them that in addition to the above two methods, there is actually a third way to increase points. How can people not be excited?
If he could figure out the mechanism for adding points, could others replicate his success? Or could other attribute points besides magic resistance be obtained in the same way?
"I didn't eat anything else, and it has nothing to do with my equipment. I just added it after eating the steamed buns." Benming Mantou directly took a screenshot of the system prompt and sent it to the gang management group.
Tang Li enlarged the picture. There was only one title: magic resistance. Apart from that, no other information was given. She looked left and right but couldn't make any sense of it.
Why would Mantou gain attribute points? She remembered that her skills weren't that great.
"I guess it's because of the curse." Benming Mantou said with a serious expression.
This was a path she had never imagined. Tang Li was stunned. She hadn't thought of it before, but now after hearing what Benming Mantou said, she immediately remembered that Mantou's curse was to lose mana...
"The Mantou curse causes mana loss," the voice of the natal Mantou also rang out. "It's just like being poisoned. You absorb a little bit of poison each time. If you survive being poisoned many times, you will develop poison resistance. Magic resistance should work the same way."
"That does sound quite plausible," everyone agreed with his guess. "But if we want to confirm this, just your example isn't enough."
"My dear, there are so many people in our gang, how come you are the only one who has gained resistance?" God's Hand was envious and jealous.
"Are you trying to explain that you're obviously very lucky, so why isn't it you?" Benming Mantou rolled his eyes and said smugly, "Let me tell you, I don't rely on luck, but real strength."
"The reason I was the first to gain attribute points is entirely because I ate a lot of steamed buns, and the quantitative change led to a qualitative change."
"Why do you eat so much?" Not to mention everyone else, even Tang Li was puzzled. Although she would give priority to supplying cooking and potions to gang members, it was impossible for everyone to eat as much as they wanted. The quantity was basically limited, and at most it was a little looser than the limit outside.
"The mountain man has his own clever tricks," Benming Mantou said even more proudly. "Before joining our gang, in addition to queuing up to buy buns every day, I would also buy buns from other players or hire people to help me queue up. I do the same thing after joining the gang."
"Also, I'll go to the restaurant to buy it every day. It's much more convenient there than in the gangs."
"No..." Seeing Benming Mantou's smug look, everyone's mouths twitched and they asked curiously, "You stockpile so many mantou every day, can you eat them all?"
Just by listening to his description, I know that the number of steamed buns cannot be less than ten. Does this mean he eats steamed buns as meals every day?
"Not only do I eat steamed buns for meals, I also have them for breakfast and afternoon tea. Otherwise, guess why I'm called Benming Mantou? Isn't it because I love it?"
"Alright, alright," God's Hand was completely convinced. "You're right. You truly relied on your own strength. I admit defeat."
Others also looked impressed, including Tang Li, the maker of the steamed buns.
Although steamed buns are delicious, none of them present can eat steamed buns five times a day. This guy really lives up to his ID.
"You deserve these attribute points!"
"Hehehe, no problem," Benming Mantou waved his hands in mock modesty, his mouth secretly curled up to the sky, "It's mainly because of my love for it."
"We don't have this ability, so the added points may not be confirmed in a short time."
"Let's assume that this is indeed the case. Then what attribute points do you think Huajuan will add?"
"Huajuan, if you fall down, guess in the opposite direction, isn't that the correct answer?" Hebidao spoke uncertainly.
"I don't know if there is fall resistance. The panel is too long and I didn't pay attention. If not, I think it might be added to stun resistance or constitution." He thought for a moment, holding his chin with his hand.
"According to this rule, if we want to add something, we can just keep eating the corresponding food."
"Oh my god, this is amazing."
"Shocked."
"As expected, you are the Lucky Star boss."
"If the players knew about this, I wonder what a sensation it would cause..."
