779. The Story Pawnshop (2/2)



So I kept vomiting and crying while stuffing food into my stomach... In the end, although I didn't finish eating, my hunger level had dropped to 3.

Then he let out a huge sigh of relief and frantically rinsed his mouth under the tap, only then did he feel the taste of feces in his mouth gradually fade...

As soon as Qi Xu turned around, he found the silver-haired elderly lady who was the shop manager standing behind him.

"Good boy, is it because the staff meal doesn't suit your taste? Didn't you just get paid? Why don't you go and have a good meal? You know, all the residents of our Hungry Town have lost their sense of taste, so the food we make might taste a little strange. It must have been hard on you."

The elderly lady who runs the shop looked extremely guilty, her eyes filled with worry and helplessness.

Qi Xu asked, "Then why is the food sold outside so delicious?"

"That's because special seasonings were used."

"What seasonings?"

"The secret recipe is hard to tell..."

Qi Xu had a rough idea of ​​what was going on. He went out for a walk around noon. Although he didn't buy anything, he carefully smelled and looked at each food stall.

Like the cloud cake I encountered when I first entered the dungeon, it always felt like it had a special yet similar taste.

I never expected that the silver-haired elderly lady who runs the shop would actually say that.

"Don't worry, children, this seasoning only makes the food taste better. It won't harm your health. I swear on that. If I'm lying, may I die a horrible death."

The silver-haired old woman with sad and sincere eyes would not be believed by anyone who saw her; she was lying. But Qi Xu refused to believe a single word of her lies.

Even if they don't die a peaceful death, what do the living think about after their death?

"That's good. I just felt the taste was a little strange, so I didn't dare to eat it. Now I'm relieved." Qi Xu patted his chest with a relaxed expression.

The silver-haired shop manager smiled and nodded, "Good child, work hard tomorrow, and I'll give you a raise."

"Thank you, boss! Long live the boss!"

Qi Xu mimicked the players and uttered one of the employees' favorite phrases.

This made the silver-haired old lady laugh. "Looks like your boss wasn't so great after all?"

Qi Xu has never had a boss, and he doesn't even have a formal job...

But he just didn't want to talk or lie. He simply looked sadly at the sky at a 45-degree angle, shut his mouth, and refused to say another word.

The silver-haired old lady raised her eyebrows slightly, and it seemed like the corner of her mouth twitched a little, before she returned to her gentle and kind demeanor.

"Manager, bye-bye, I need to go out to get something to eat and find a place to stay while I'm at it!"

"Go ahead, kid. I'll recommend a place for you to stay. Go to the 'Good Dream Hotel' and say you're one of my employees. The owner will give you a discount."

"Understood, thank you, boss!"

In other words, the "Good Dream Hotel" is not a place to go; the purpose of getting information out of them has been achieved.

Even if you don't get the correct option, it's good to eliminate the wrong options.
