Chapter 111 (2/2)
When he found other varieties didn’t conform to his requests, Yuan Zhou decisively took up the three books and returned to the first floor, preparing to pay.
The cashier separated them. The first was 99 Tips to Become a Prince Charming with a white cover. The original price was 20 RMB, while with the discount, it was only 16 RMB; the second was 108 Methods to Get Up Early, with a modest price of 23 RMB and 18.4 RMB with the discount; the last was A Valuable Book for Curing Late Stage Cancer of Laziness, despite the seemingly normal red cover.
It seemed that Yuan Zhou had a rich and colorful spiritual life. Looking at the discounted price, Yuan Zhou walked swaggeringly out of the Book City accompanied by the weird sights of the cashier.
While Yuan Zhou was walking back, the reward of the system was already available. However, Yuan Zhou would usually receive it after getting back to the restaurant.
Just like before, Yuan Zhou took a taxi back to the restaurant.
With a straight face, Yuan Zhou was actually curious about what exactly the Master Chef Set was. The name sounded like some sort of armor in online games.
The abilities of Yuan Zhou playing online games were more or less the same as an elementary school kid, to be more specific, not as good as them.
“Here we are.” the taxi driver said as he stopped the car with a sound of “Zi”, and then turned his head.
“Thank you. Here is 23 RMB in all.” After paying the fare according to the price shown on the taximeter, Yuan Zhou got off the taxi.
Having returned to the restaurant through the back door, Yuan Zhou went to the second floor and put down the books before sitting down and tapping open the system.
[Temporary mission] To win a victory on the contest with Chef Yu
(Mission tips: Now that others have challenged you to your face, as a future master chef, you should begin to cultivate your pride and dignity from now, young man.)
[Mission status] Completed
[Mission reward] One piece of Master Chef Set (available to be received)
“Receive.” Yuan Zhou realized he had made a stupid decision again just after saying that. It seemed that every time the reward would be obtained in the kitchen, while right now he was on the second floor.
“Dong Dong Dong”, he had only to move quickly to the kitchen to take a look.
There appeared a conspicuous flat wooden box about 25 cm long on the clean azure stone countertop. The padauk color and the white countertop formed a sharp comparison.
The box was so perfectly sealed that Yuan Zhou even didn’t know where he could open it. After playing with the box in his hands for a while, he eventually found a tiny bulge. Upon pressing it, the box was opened with a “Pa” sound.
“System, what’s this?” Yuan Zhou couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
The system displayed, “Taste-Free Chopsticks of the Master Chef Set.”
“Ho Ho. I know they are chopsticks. Are these the so-called Master Chef Set?” Yuan Zhou felt that even the blue veins on his forehead were ridiculing him.
The system displayed, “The chopsticks are made of Fragrance-Free Wood, which won’t be contaminated with any sort of taste. That’s why they were called Taste-Free Chopsticks. It will help the host to savor the dishes.”
“Thank your f*cking grandma!”
The system displayed, “Host, the system is not your grandma. Please clearly recognize the relationship between the system and you.”
“…Thank you for your kind reminder.”
Yuan Zhou’s tone revealed the feeling of gnashing his teeth in anger while talking. He speechlessly glared at the chopsticks that appeared to be a pair of ordinary wooden chopsticks.
