Chapter 649 - New Mission (2/2)

“I know, I know. I might even level up again after completing this mission,” Yuan Zhou said with a shrug.

Fortunately, he wasn’t a stubborn person. Since the system refused to tell him, he stopped asking and started studying the mission.

“I am already popular among the province now, right? I’m probably nearing the level of being famous countrywide at this point,” Yuan Zhou rubbed his chin and muttered confidently.

“But I am definitely not the most popular person in the province yet,” Yuan Zhou recalled the newspapers he had read the past few days as he tried assessing his current popularity.

That’s right. He had been reading any newspaper he could get his hands on for the past few days. Of course, he had only been reading the news about him. He had also read the news column of that popular food critique Ah La.

“Mhm, he has good taste.” This was Yuan Zhou’s first reaction.

He did not think that they were excessively praising him. Nobody would think that they were receiving too much praise.

“Looks like I need to cause a huge incident,” Yuan Zhou thought as he pondered on what he needed to do to increase his popularity.

There were still a couple established great chefs in the province he needed to surpass in popularity. With his eyes shut, Yuan Zhou pondered about the mission. He did not even realize the plane setting off and landing and remained in thought until the stewardess came to wake him from his pondering.

“Sir, the plane has landed. Please get your luggage and prepare to get off the plane,” the stewardess spoke with her gentle and crisp voice.

“Thank you.” Yuan Zhou opened his eyes. Not a trace of confusion was found in him. After picking his bag, he prepared to get off the plane.

After getting off the plane, he went to wait for his luggage. Then, he left the airport and ordered a cab to get back home. Yun Zhou was already well-versed in all these steps. When the plane landed, it was noon time. Therefore, it was quite early when he arrived at the restaurant.

A “creak” sounded. As usual, Yuan Zhou entered the restaurant from the back door. The moment he entered, he reached the kitchen. All the equipment and plates in the kitchen were still clean. The kitchen was as clean as a new one, as if someone had always here, cleaning it up. It did not look the slightest bit like a kitchen that had been abandoned for seven days.

“Nice.” Yuan Zhou smiled and climbed up the stair with his luggage, preparing to rest for a bit.

He would clean everything each time he came back. This was a habit of his. With the system keeping everything clean, let alone dust, not even dangerous bacterias could be found here. However, he was used to cleaning it whenever he returned as this was what his parents used to do.

“Since it’s still early, I’ll go out for a stroll.” Yuan Zhou stretched and prepared to go out for a stroll, wanting to visit Broth.

Since he entered through the back door, he naturally exited through the back door as well. He did not need to go far to see Broth lying at its usual spot.

“Hey, I’m back. Are you going to welcome me?” It was getting quite late. Yuan Zhou raised his hand and spoke to Broth with a crisp voice.

Broth raised his head to look at Yuan Zhou. It stared at Yuan Zhou with its black eyes for a while before lying down on the ground again.

“You are way too cold. We haven’t met for a week. Shouldn’t you wag your tail and cry out to welcome me back?” Yuan Zhou complained.

Broth sent Yuan Zhou another gaze with no reaction whatsoever, not even bothering to raise his head this time. If he could speak, he would probably say something like, “I can’t be bothered to respond to you.”

“You’re really heartless. No matter what, I am your food supplier,” Yuan Zhou muttered. When he turned his head, he noticed several yellow bicycles parked to the side.

“Why are there so many bicycles here after I left for a week?” Yuan Zhou got curious. After all, he had been noticing many bicycles parked beside the road on his way back.

“Quick, there are a few more bicycles we can ride here.” While Yuan Zhou was pondering, the voices of several youngsters rang out.

Then, a few teenage boys in jackets ran over.

“Luckily there are more bicycles here. Go, go, go, take the bicycles and go,” a teenager with spiky hair said before taking out his phone to scan the QR code.

“Ok. With this, there will be enough bicycles for all of us. Let’s go to the public park for a game of ball.” The other teenagers also quickly took out their phones and spoke while scanning the QR codes.

Yuan Zhou watched on silently. When they left, he walked over to read the notice pasted on the bicycles. ”

“Shared bicycle? Leave after scanning the QR code?” Yuan Zhou looked at the yellow bicycles thoughtfully.
