Chapter 111: Reward of the System

Translator: Editor:

The righteous words of Yuan Zhou first astounded Meng Meng and then the audiences of the live broadcast . After all, everybody would want to be respected .

Of course, there were some who agreed and also some that disagreed, for example, this person from the audience .

[I think this is merely Boss Yuan’s excuse . Although it sounds great, it’s no more than an excuse . If he really respects us, why doesn’t he serve dishes as per customer’s demand? Instead, he regulates that each customer can only eat one serving of each dish per meal,] from An Pang .

The words were sharp . Once the message appeared on the screen, it drove away the screenful of compliments to Yuan Zhou . After quite a little time, another audience replied him .

[I don’t think so . Leaving aside Boss Yuan’s manner of speaking just now, let’s talk about the matter of rules . A chef naturally has his own habits and rules . And I feel that Boss Yuan laid down that rule of ordering only one serving in case we get tired of eating the same dish, although I don’t think I will ever tire of his dishes,] from Amisa .

[Moreover, one serving is enough for one to eat his fill . And we can also order another serving of different dishes for a taste now . Besides, Boss Yuan really treasured foods and even told us not to waste it,] from Shime .

[I have seen Boss Yuan feed a stray dog . I know he is a loving man,] from Boundary of Firmament .

[Every time I see Boss Yuan cooking so earnestly, I then feel all these rules are acceptable,] from Warwolf Thunderclap .

[Fine, let’s skip over the rules . But sometimes, he opens in the morning and sometimes not . What do you say about that?] from An Pang .

This person seemed to have many complaints about that . In some ways, it made sense . Whoever waited outside the entrance in the early morning wouldn’t be happy when he found the restaurant was closed all along .

[I feel you guys are too demanding . Boss Yuan runs the restaurant alone and he needs to make great efforts to get everything done, which are mostly invisible to us . I don’t think it a problem not to open the restaurant in the morning occasionally,] from Red Candle Devil .

[Boss Yuan is always working seriously during business hours . I think the respect is revealed when Boss Yuan will consciously make up for the loss of business time if it was due to his own reasons . I remember one day when it was raining, Boss Yuan, as a person who undoubtedly loves money, provided a new towel for free and recommended the hot Clear Broth Noodle Soup dish to each of the customers . I believe this is just the respect of a chef to his customers,] from Full Flowers In this Invisible World .

The sincere narrations caused everybody to fall silent as some of these audiences had personally been there . Despite his aloof manner and unpleasant words, they could feel the earnestness of Yuan Zhou whenever he cooked .

Nevertheless, Meng Meng likewise kept silent while looking at the messages . Everything her audiences talked about was indeed true .

Yuan Zhou never cared much about others’ opinion to him . After all, with his emotional intelligence, he wasn’t likely to understand that . Therefore, he directly walked out of the entrance . Having checked and found that there was still sufficient time before dinner, he decided to head to the bookstore .

As a young man that loves reading, Yuan Zhou would buy some books occasionally, which meant on the members day of the bookstores or when the bookstore offered discounts .

Of course, it happened to be the members’ day of the bookstore today .

Lagging behind of Yuan Zhou, Meng Meng didn’t catch up with him . Instead, she went back home after saying goodbye to her audiences .

The bookstore that Yuan Zhou often dropped by was called BuK Book City, a chain of bookstores where there were a large amount of books inside . If there was none, the staffs would have it delivered from the other chains .

It was fairly close, hence Yuan Zhou decided to go by foot .

It was the members’ day of the bookstore and one could have a big discount of 20% with the member card . Yuan Zhou prepared to carefully choose some book to enrich his spiritual life .

As the BuK Book City bookstore was located not far from World Foodie Hotel in the downtown area, it was the largest main store among the BuK Chains . There were a total of four floors . On the first floor, one-half was used for the construction of cashier counters while the other half, behind the stairway, was made into a book bar for customers to take a little rest and read books on the rattan chairs . On the whole, it gave people a sense of quiet among the bustling din .

The second, third and fourth floor were all filled with various books . Naturally, the second floor was filled with the spiritual foods of students . These include various reference books, tutorial materials, and textbooks . On the third floor, however, were mainly reference books for every professional category . Yuan Zhou directly skipped over the two floors and went to the fourth floor .

On this floor were all kinds of literary novels, published web novels, youth literature, and some biographies, etc .

Having passed by all these kinds of books, Yuan Zhou walked straightway to the area for inspirational books .

He conveniently took up a book, looked at the title and checked the price . Then with a nod, Yuan Zhou indicated that these were what he just wanted . After taking up three similar books, Yuan Zhou began to search for other kinds of books .

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 .
