Infinite Cafetaria

Chapter 146 Ingredients Collector

 The built-in scanning function of the Traveler bracelet will unlock a picture book every time a new ingredient is scanned.

At first, Malu thought that these illustrations were just to help him record which beasts he had encountered, especially when many beasts entered the scanning range and were scanned. However, Malu might have been busy with other things at the time, or there were too many other beasts nearby, so he gave them to him. Ignored.

 If you have an illustrated book, you can at least look through it when you come back and know what a beast with a certain name looks like.

　Until the number of illustrations unlocked this time exceeded 200, a new notification suddenly popped up on the traveler's bracelet.

Ding! Congratulations on getting the title—Ingredient Collector. Wearing this title can increase the extra level of a designated piece of equipment by 1.

Ma Lu was also shocked when he saw this notice.

 This is also okay? !

The four pieces of equipment on his body are not to mention the protection of fate. The Malu relies on them to cheat, and the collection bag is used to hold ingredients, which is also indispensable. The chef's knife is slightly less important, but it can be used for cutting. The characteristics of all ingredients should not be used too easily in battle.

 Furthermore, after testing in several previous battles, Malu discovered that its upgraded damage-increasing effect can be triggered by carrying it, which is enough to be regarded as a practical weapon.

With the lv6 collection bag he currently owns, it will cost 320,000 to upgrade to lv7 in the future. This amount of money can already buy a house in many small counties. No matter how poor it is, it can still be enough to pay a down payment.

Ma Lu estimated that collecting a certain number of illustrations of different levels would be able to obtain a title, and there was a high probability that the higher the quality of the illustrations, the better the title effect would be.

For example, most of the ingredients below three stars are of ordinary quality, and those above are rare. However, the ultra-rare illustrated book Malu currently only has two Hexa-armed Apes and Golden-spotted Cheetahs.

 But this does not hinder the practicality of the title of ingredient collector. And since collecting 200 kinds of ingredients can get one title, then naturally you can get more titles by collecting more ingredients.

 But now that he has the title of ingredient collector, Malu can turn his lv6 collection bag into lv7 instantly without spending any money.

It wasn’t until Malu collected illustrations this time and accidentally turned on the title system that he discovered that the Traveler’s Bracelet also hid such a skill.

 In comparison, the Traveler bracelet has the most, most complicated, and flashy functions, much like a smart terminal, but it seems hard to tell which function is indispensable.

So this time he actually brought back a total of 1,000 kilograms of ingredients. Even after excluding the 300 kilograms invested in the table-top farm, there was still 700 kilograms that could be used to set up a stall.

 Further up is the legendary quality, and only the Beast Frog is in this level.

In addition, Malu also discovered that this title can be worn or canceled freely.

In addition, what happened this time also made him study the illustrations carefully and found that the illustrations were also divided into rarities.

 If you wear it again after canceling it, you can also specify other equipment levels +1, but there is a 12-hour cooling time.

 Specifying a piece of portable equipment with an extra level of +1 may seem like nothing, but Malu has upgraded equipment many times now and knows that the investment is huge, especially in the later stages, which becomes more and more terrifying.

 Although it is currently unclear what the functions of other titles are and whether different titles can be worn at the same time, Malu has made up his mind to collect as many illustrations as possible in the future.

But this can only be verified slowly in the future.

 After studying the illustrated book, Malu decided on today's menu and went out to buy side dishes according to the menu. On the way back, he received a call from Yan Wu.

"Hey, are you free now?" Ma Lu has almost reached the unit building. He is now carrying three large bags of vegetables in one hand and two barrels of oil in the other hand. He can only hold the phone between his shoulder and cheek between.

“We are planning to go out and set up a stall soon, but Boss Yan, can you tell us what you have to do with us first?”

Yanwu didn't waste any time and went straight to the point, "I have a business here. I wonder if you are interested?"

"what business?"

“Some old friends will come to visit me at noon today, and I would like to treat them to a meal.”

“But my restaurant hasn’t opened yet, or do you want to bring them to eat at my street stall, Boss Yan?”

“I know your restaurant hasn’t opened yet, and it’s not convenient for my friends to show up in public, so I want to invite you to come to my place to cook a meal. I can pay this time with star coins.”

Hearing this, Ma Lu suddenly became interested, "Boss Yan, how much do you plan to pay? How many dishes can you cook? What are your requirements?"

“Just 200 star coins, four dishes and one soup, no special requirements, as long as you don’t make any more calls to the wild. By the way, those friends of mine are Valkina people.”

Ma Lu didn't know whether 200 star coins was too much or too little, but since Yanwu's request was relatively simple, just making four dishes and one soup, with no special requirements on ingredients and taste, it should be a piece of cake for Lao Wang.

There is no reason not to make this money.

Hence, Malu readily agreed, but he didn’t know what the so-called Valkina people actually looked like.

From what Yanwu said, it seems that they haven't been able to appear in front of ordinary people yet. You must know that even Yanwu, a werewolf, has integrated into human society and even opened a hardware store.

Also, if there are many guests, I don’t know if four dishes and one soup will be enough to entertain them.

But anyway, they were just door-to-door cooks. It was fine that the owner, Yan Wu, had the final say in this matter, and Ma Lu didn't bother to worry about that.

 He told Lao Wang about the incident after returning home, and then took stock of the refrigerator. It would definitely be enough to make four dishes and one soup.

Even the animals in the farm do not need to be moved. In the past few weeks, when setting up stalls, Malu would not use up all the ingredients, but would leave two or three portions frozen in the refrigerator for emergencies.

These ingredients are now available, but planning the menu still requires some thought.

 It stands to reason that Yanwu had already informed Ma Lu of the cost of this meal in advance, and made it clear that he had no additional requirements.

  In other words, from the perspective of maximizing profits, Malu only needs to produce some dishes with a deliciousness index of 1 or 2 stars to be able to compete.

But considering that the Universe Infinite Canteen will open soon, Malu is not too worried on the Earth side. Visitors from the alien plane have to promote it well. This is related to the source of his star coins in the future, so this time he has to let the old man Wang Lu showed some real skills.

In addition, Yan Wu was very helpful in Zhen Ye's matter last time. This time, Malu naturally wanted to reciprocate and help Yan Wu entertain his guests.

So Malu finally selected a lot of high-quality ingredients, and then went to the farmer's market to make up for the remaining side dishes.
