Infinite Cafetaria

Chapter 167 Lost money?

Ma Lu settled down at his residence. The countdown on his bracelet only had one hour left.

He simply didn’t go out anymore. He opened the refrigerator, randomly selected a can of drink, pulled the tab, and took a sip.

Hmm, it’s just an energy drink, it doesn’t contain alcohol, but it tastes pretty good, with a faint jasmine scent, and there’s a familiar ring logo printed on the front of the aluminum can.

This also made Malu once again realize the amazing control the Church of Order has over this place, and their tentacles can be said to be omnipresent.

But this doesn’t seem to have much to do with him as a passerby.

 After drinking the drink, Ma Lu went to bed and slept for a while. When he woke up again, he was already on the sofa in the living room.

 Lao Wang was wearing an apron from Totle that he bought as a gift when buying chicken essence, and was cleaning the house with a new steam mop that Malu bought. When he saw him open his eyes, he asked.

 “How was the trip to the new plane?”

“It’s not bad. I found a lot of new gadgets there. No, I should say they are old gadgets, but they look so unique that I almost didn’t recognize them.”

Especially for vegetables that everyone can recognize, even if they are labeled with labels such as organic and pollution-free, there is limited room for a price premium, unlike meat.

 But soon Malu stopped laughing.

 Thinking about it this way, I feel that the new dimension is a bit of a disadvantage. It is better to continue to hunt for beasts with Pochi.

“Such a strong life activity, is it an activated plant?”

 Surrounded by so many vegetables, it is easy for people to feel the joy of harvest like an old farmer.

As he spoke, Malu opened the collection bag and took out a large handful of vegetables, including courgettes, eggplants, potatoes, enoki mushrooms... and of course cabbage.

Ma Lu was regretting it, but Lao Wang had already put down the mop and came over to check out the new ingredients.

 Vegetables…I don’t think meat can fetch a high price.

Malu touched his chin, "Also, Lao Wang, you haven't gone to college. You may not know. College students are basically carnivores and have little demand for vegetables. If you want to focus on the concept of healthy vegetarian food, you feel that you are not satisfied with the white-collar workers in the office building." More attractive, but what’s up with that athlete’s prefix?”

Even if it’s just beef, there are Angus, Wagyu and the like, which sound very expensive at first sight, and everyone thinks it’s normal to sell hundreds or even thousands per pound.

“Vegetable chowder? Well, how should I put it? It sounds unappetizing.”

“It’s a vegetable chowder that can improve sports performance in a short period of time.” Lao Wang replied.

On the contrary, even if you tell people that these are Alpine radishes, they will at most think that they are on the same level as Provence tomatoes, with a maximum price of 10 yuan per pound.

"Yeah." Malu nodded, moving his shoulders and neck, "A few of them are pretty good at fighting. Yes, I remember it was this golden mushroom that stabbed me from behind. I teamed up with two witches, and it took a lot of time. It took a little effort to subdue them. If they were sold cheaply, I feel like I would have suffered a big loss this time.”

 Lao Wang did not speak in a hurry. He looked at all the vegetables placed there by Malu, especially the infinitely split cabbage, and then said, "These are very fresh and can be used to make athlete's vegetable chowder."

"What?"

Ma Lu didn’t react for a while.

"If you make a vegetable chowder with that 3-star cabbage as the main ingredient, if you quantify it, the endurance will be increased by about 50%, but it can only last for 2 hours." 　　　? ? ? !

Ma Lu took a breath of cold air and said, "Damn it, I thought we would start with the luminous dishes first, but why did we jump directly to the attribute-added dishes? Isn't it a bit too fast?"

“I just suggest that you decide the daily menu as we agreed before. You can change it if you are not satisfied.”

 “No, no, no, that’s not what I meant. Anyway, let me take a look at the recipe first.”

Malu opened the traveler's bracelet and directly searched for athlete's vegetable chowder this time. Eight dishes popped up at once. The names at the front of these eight dishes were all the same, and even most of the ingredients were the same, but the main ingredients were different. Then at the end of the recipe, The suffixes are different.

 For example, the dish suggested by Lao Wang should be called Athletes' Chowder·Endurance. In addition, there are also athletes' Chowder·Strength, Athletes' Chowder·Speed, Athletes' Chowder·Flexibility, etc...

 Belonging means that all the attributes needed by athletes are filled up.

However, Malu can't get the ingredients to cook the other seven dishes for the time being. The ingredients he currently has on hand are only enough to make this athlete's vegetable chowder-endurance.

Afterwards, Malu looked at the deliciousness index behind the dish: ★★★, and couldn't help but be curious, "Can 3 stars add attributes? But we have clearly made dishes with 3 stars or above before, why don't we have something like this?" Effect?"

“Because the deliciousness index is only related to the taste and has nothing to do with the effect of the dish.” Lao Wang explained, “For example, mung bean soup can reduce heat. This is the effect of the ingredients themselves and has no direct relationship with the taste.”

"That makes sense." Malu then thought of something, "Wait a minute, you mean to say that in the new dimension I went to this time, the activated plants there can all add attributes?"

“Not necessarily all, but activated plants do contain more vitality than ordinary plants. The dishes cooked with them, well, in your words, it is possible to add attributes to the user.”

Hearing what Lao Wang said, Malu finally no longer felt that he was at a loss, and instead became crazy about it again.

 “Can this addition be detected?”

“There is no difference in biological composition between activated plants and ordinary plants. It is impossible to distinguish between the two using the biological and chemical methods of this plane.”

 “Awesome!” Malu gave a thumbs up.

Don't always say that the national football team is hopeless. Look, isn't this opportunity coming? Before the game starts, a table is set for everyone, all eight dishes are placed, and then they go to play after eating.

 Let alone Japan and South Korea, even Argentina and Brazil have done it for him.

 So, changing the manager is just nonsense. If you want to see results, it is better to change the cook.

Of course, he can't contact the leaders of the Football Association for a while now, so Malu can only consider selling this dish to others first.

 When he thought about this matter seriously, his overheated head gradually calmed down.

Although the added attributes are quite impressive, except for the national football team, Malu really hasn’t found any interested customers for a while.

 The main reason is that there are far fewer manual workers in the city now, and most of the people who can use the endurance bonus are heavy manual workers.

 They are usually not willing to spend money to buy endurance attributes, and they still only have two hours of endurance. In addition, how to convince them to believe is a big problem in itself.

Ma Lu was lost in thought. At this moment, he glanced at the chat group on his mobile phone, but he made another unexpected discovery.
