Chapter 862 - Rent (1/2)

Sir System had placed Black Pot, no, Mr. Culinary God, in a room on the second floor of the hotel.

The area here was very spacious, vastly different from the prison next door.

This was no mere hotel, it was a five-star hotel.

It had three rooms, two halls, two bathrooms, fully equipped with TV, phone, computer, and had all the necessities including electricity, water, and network access, plus daily housekeeping services.

Of course, such treatment was still eons apart with the sort of treatment received by the Culinary God in the Upper Realm.

However, the most valuable thing about the place was that it was a safe haven, a place that could not be discovered by the Saints.

This was what pleased the Culinary God the most, to be able to reach the position of a god, one must always be prepared to adopt measures suited to the situation and adapt.

Except when it came to those senseless, chaotic demons and devils of course.

“Sigh, this will have to do for the time being.” Mr. Black Pot thought it over and levitated towards the computer, without touching anything, the computer had started up all on its own.

While the gods may not be all that omnipotent as they say, their ability to pick up things speedily was true, they would not be qualified to become gods otherwise.

This was the first time he has seen a computer, although he was not able to understand the underlying principles behind this mechanism via scanning through it with his spiritual powers, he promptly understood its operation.

After all, everything had something in common with one another.

This object was quite similar to some of the other exquisite artifacts he had seen in the Upper Realm.

He turned on the computer, opened a new document and words automatically began to type themselves.

Inside the System Cyber Cafe, Fang Ning took in the scene before him through the surveillance thread.

He made a sound of surprise and awe, “He does live up to his title as a God after all, I didn’t even know that you could do something like this. I’ve always been typing with my own hands, how silly of me. It’s no wonder they call us humans dumb…”

“Hahaha, you’re not dumb, just lazy, you’re obviously capable of using your spiritual energy to generate electricity and maneuver objects, wouldn’t it be so much easier if you just use that to type and play games as well?” Sir System mocked.

“Damn you, stop making fun of me, there are other people living here now, be careful he doesn’t find out.” Fang Ning said worriedly.

“Relax, I have everything under control, he’ll only be able to hear what I want him to hear, he won’t be able to hear any of our secret talks.” Sir System said arrogantly.

“Fine, you win,” Fang Ning turned his attention back to the surveillance monitor, only to find that the Culinary God had already finished up a document.

“How To Obtain The Bequeathal Of The Culinary God”.

“Mm, this must be his first rental payment.” Fang Ning nodded.

“Yeah, this platform’s not bad at all, we should get more unlucky bastards in here and make them all pay rent and work for us.” Sir System was practically on air.

“Ugh, you’re such an opportunist. Those fallen gods from the Upper Realm needed a place to stay in the Earth’s Heavenly Axiom and had to pay him, and you rode on the wind and built a System Hotel.” Fang Ning said, somewhat impressed.

“I think I’m alright? I’m different from that brazen Axiom Daddy, he only cares about collecting money, but I’m at least decent enough to care about their wellbeing.” Sir System proclaimed self-righteously.

“Yeah, you’re even squeezing them out for every single penny worth they have, not just money but also labor, whilst Axiom Daddy’s a one-time deal, you put them in long-term debt. Of course you can’t be compared to him.”

…

As Vigilante A walked across the river, he finally saw a familiar figure, no, a familiar insect.

On a large cotton ball, lied Chong Daqing.

She was wandering back and forth, and after she discovered Vigilante A’s presence, she immediately flew towards him, riding on the Big Cotton Ball.

“By the way, Great Dragon, isn’t that Chef Fang your cook? In the outside world, it made sense for you to keep him from going outside the herb garden, but, now, in order to acquire the bequeathal, he has to come out and personally cook the dish.” Chong Daqing reminded him.

“Oh, you don’t have to worry about this, when it’s time for him to show his face, he’ll come out.” Vigilante A answered impassively.

“Hmmph, what a waste of my concern, don’t blame me if you fail, remember that it’s not allowed for someone to take the test in place of another. Based on the quality of that last meal, you don’t stand a chance!” Chong Daqing said, aggravated.

Fang Ning could not find any words for her, the question maker himself was currently staying in Sir System’s house, what worry did they have still for their chances of passing?

Nonetheless, he knew that Daqing was only acting out of a kind heart, and promptly advised Sir System, “Don’t be so cold, would it kill you to show some emotion?”

“Shut up you, she doesn’t care if we pass the test or not, she’s only worried that she won’t get to eat good food. She’s probably still holding a grudge from that pot of sweet potato corn rice you gave her and shifted the blame onto Vigilante A, that’s why she wants to know if Chef Fang will personally attend the test.” Sir System scoffed.

“It is also said that I did not know how to understand it. Is this the legend…” Fang Ning was shocked.
