Chapter 958 - As Kind As Me (2/2)

“Therefore, I no longer dared to come here. I am leaving this place, never to return,” said the woman, using words such as “no” and “never”, seemingly bidding farewell to her love.

“It’s fine, young miss. Come, let granny treat you to some Mantou. Everything will pass,” the granny consoled.

“I will forget this place, forget him. I will never return. Thank you,” said the woman. She downed the glass of soy milk and also finished the Mantou with a few bites, a layer of mist still covering her eyes.

“Goodbye, young miss,” said the granny while gazing at the woman gently.

This time, when the woman walked, she walked nimbly and the hesitation when she came was nowhere to be seen.

In the restaurant, Yuan Zhou smiled after the conversation came to an end.

“Truly a kind woman,” said Yuan Zhou with a gentle expression.

That’s right. The woman was very kind. She had obviously came to bid her farewell with a sad emotion, yet she was scared that her sadness would infect Yuan Zhou. Thus, she bid her farewell in a teasing manner instead.

Yuan Zhou could clearly feel that kindness.

“Um, as kind as me,” said Yuan Zhou. He took his phone out and when he looked at the fund transfer message, his lips curled into a smile.

This fund transfer message came from the account he used for the boxing donation platform. That was a number with many zeros on it. It would seem like Yuan Zhou had donated quite a large sum of money.

He used Song An’s name when donating, thus, nobody was praising his generosity. Therefore, he decided to praise himself instead.

“One who praises himself is a kind person,” muttered Yuan Zhou as he placed his phone down.

“Now, I can claim the reward. It’s about time I release a new dish again,” Yuan Zhou suddenly recalled the reward.

“System, I’m claiming the reward,” Yuan Zhou said.

The system displayed, “Mission completed. The reward can be claimed.”

[Main mission] Become the next Sichuan Cuisine Exemplary Restaurant, becoming the new Sichuan Cuisine headquarters. (Completed)

(Mission tips: The yearly Sichuan Cuisine Demonstration is starting soon. As the future master chef, little comrade, you have to seize onto this glory. As the great successor of the party, the glory belongs to you.)

[Mission reward] Sichuan Cuisine of the eight famous regional cuisines (Claimable)

(Reward tips: Based on this system’s assessment, a mid-tier chef must not lack a complete set of cuisine. Therefore, complete the mission, little comrade. After completion, you shall become the master of Sichuan Cuisine.)

“Cough, system, let’s talk about this. Change how you address me. Little comrade feels too weird,” said Yuan Zhou helplessly.

The system displayed, “Little comrade, as a chef, you must not feel disturbed by these needless designations. Please claim the reward.”

“Claim,” Yuan Zhou quickly claimed when he saw that the system was being stubborn. He couldn’t be bothered to continue bickering with the system.

The system displayed, “The reward has been released. The host may take a look at it.”

Then, the system sank into silence. Only a dot of light was left in Yuan Zhou’s mind, a blinking light like a star in the night sky.

“Let me see how rich this reward is,” Yuan Zhou impatiently looked towards the dot of light.

Along with Yuan Zhou’s focus, the dot of light reached the depth of his mind. When that happened, Yuan Zhou could no longer be bothered with anything else. His mind was instantly filled with information about Sichuan Cuisine.

It was as if a grandmaster was demonstrating his cooking skills again and again in Yuan Zhou’s mind. He watched on seriously, and instinctively, his hands started gesturing in the thin air. This was his way of digesting all the information.
