The Barbecue Stall Reopens

Soon, the chefs were impressed by Nanxu's culinary skills.

"Delicious! I've never tasted grilled skewers like this before!"

"What a wonderful flavor! Chef Nan, what seasonings did you use?"

"I could eat a hundred skewers like these and never get tired of them!"

Master Huang closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then his face showed amazement:

"If I'm not mistaken... this skewer is far from reaching its limit!"

"You already have a complete recipe in your mind, and as long as you have the right ingredients, you can bring it to life from start to finish, right?"

"That's right." Nan Xu nodded generously. "I've already obtained the necessary ingredients and plan to start cooking tonight."

"To keep up with my skills, I'm planning to set up a small stall outside the restaurant today and sell these kinds of grilled skewers."

"As for the operation of the restaurant, since I'm not really in charge of the cooking, I'll leave it to you. I don't need a share of the profits."

That's what he said, but even without yesterday's mushroom and pork to help him perfect the recipe, Nanxu was still planning to do it this way.

Last night's business has spread Nanxu's name far and wide. Now everyone in Wanling City knows that Ningquanju has a young and talented chef.

He set up a small stall at the entrance of Ningquanju, which not only made it convenient for him to trade with players, but also made it faster to serve the skewers and more efficient at gaining experience points.

"Moreover, I will set purchase limits and focus on snacks. This way, we won't steal each other's business, and we can even boost each other's popularity," Nan Xu added.

These words eased the expressions of the chefs who had been frowning.

Master Huang pondered for a moment and realized that this was an opportunity for Ningquanju.

Nanxu's grilled skewers are indeed delicious, but if they only sell a few skewers to whet people's appetites, wouldn't they still have to go to their restaurant for their main meal?

Yesterday's incident has caused many long-time customers to lose trust in Ningquanju, but now, an opportunity to regain that trust is at hand.

If Ningquanju continues to be under Nanxu's leadership these past few days, no matter how well he achieves, Ningquanju's reputation will still plummet once he leaves.

But if they can satisfy the customers with their food in the next few days, they might be able to salvage Ningquanju's reputation!

Thinking of this, Master Huang bowed respectfully to Nan Xu: "Thank you, Master Nan!"

Then he quickly added, "As for the profit sharing, since we've already agreed on it, don't refuse, just take it!"

Nan Xu smiled slightly: "Master Huang, there's no need for thanks. I should be the one thanking you."

This was, of course, something he did intentionally.

He observed that most of the chefs at the restaurant were quite diligent, and Zhao Xiu was likely an exception.

Since that's the case, why not go with the flow and give them another chance to prove themselves?

Of course, to seize this opportunity, they need to have sufficient strength. After all, compared to Nanxu BBQ, ordinary dishes are hard to resist.

Realizing they had a chance to salvage their reputation, Chef Huang and the rest of the restaurant staff perked up and began preparations with utmost focus.

Meanwhile, Nanxu retrieved a fancy mobile cart from the warehouse, loaded it with the necessary kitchen utensils, and prepared to set up his stall.

Little did he know that a huge uproar had already broken out on the player forums.

After recording the video yesterday, Xiaoyao Suifeng uploaded it online.

Because the video contained content related to Nanxu, it naturally climbed to the top of the trending list in a very short time.

Players, whether they won a beta test qualification or not, all expressed their lamentations in the comments section of this video:

"Why is it you again, you bastard! Why are you the only one who gets to eat Nanxu's food? You're not allowed to eat it!"

"Damn, this looks so delicious too, and the detailed explanation makes it even more tempting!"

"Yes, yes, that's so cruel!"

"I can't take it anymore, I need to order takeout, I need a late-night snack!"

"This place is in Wanling? Let me see... It's only about half a Great Xuan away from my starting village, not too far. Here I come!"

"Those of you who are thinking ahead, this game doesn't have main city teleportation arrays..."

Some players with better hearing also discovered the key points through certain details.

"Hey, the guy sitting next to the blogger, his voice sounds a bit like Time Bro's?"

"Brother Time? Which Brother Time? It can't be that Great Demon King, can it?"

"Holy crap, it really looks like him! My friend was a beta tester, and he said he saw Time Bro hanging out with this Xiaoyao Suifeng!"

After this initial buzz, Wanling quickly became a must-visit destination for players after leaving the starting village.

Even some players who live far away are planning to rush over as fast as they can before the last day of the closed beta ends.

As for those closer... well, they've arrived.

"Wow, this is Wanling! It's huge!"

Sweet Beggar Chicken looked at the town in front of it and exclaimed in astonishment, showing a complete lack of knowledge.

Upon seeing this, the live chat immediately erupted with mockery:

Is it very big? It's about the same size as a real ancient city. My assessment is that it's just average.

It doesn't feel as modern as a city; the commute takes one or two hours.

[That's considered big? You really have no experience.]

Sweet Beggar's Chicken immediately raised her eyebrows in anger: "What do you know? I'm talking about the game, the game!"

"This isn't even the main city. Tell me, which game town is this big? It's almost a one-to-one replica of reality, okay?"

As she spoke, she revealed a worried expression: "Sigh... This place is so big, I don't know if I can find Ningquan Residence smoothly."

Logically, she could ask an NPC for directions, but the problem is that she has no sense of direction and easily gets lost even if someone gives her directions.

Even in other virtual reality games, she has gotten lost several times in towns that are not this big.

After exchanging a few words with the mocking comments in the live chat, Sweet Beggar Chicken wandered aimlessly through the streets and alleys.

Suddenly, she smelled a wonderful fragrance. The fragrance was very unique and had a strong penetrating power, it could be smelled for miles.

"What's that smell? It smells so good!"

Sweet Beggar Chicken sniffed, and glistening saliva involuntarily dripped from the corner of its mouth.

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, her eyes lit up:

"This smells so good, there must be a chef cooking!"

"Isn't Nan Xu the only well-known chef in Wanling right now?"

"So, this fragrance must have been created by Nan Xu!"

Thinking of this, she took a deep breath and then ran towards the direction from which the fragrance was coming!
