Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month

"Boss...should I come back tomorrow morning?" Wang Jing looked at Shen Meng who was lying on the ground, full of wildness like a wild cat, and suddenly felt that the impact of this picture was too overwhelming!

Shen Meng raised his head in confusion, his pupils reflecting the clear color of innocence, and looked at Wang Jing for a few seconds.

That wild posture, enchanting curvy body, and such a pure and lovely face...

Even the experienced Wang Jing couldn't help but take a deep breath and secretly gave Chen Ye a thumbs up.

really!

The aesthetics of the big guys on the list are all different.

If you come here at this time, will you ruin the boss's enjoyment?

Chen Ye looked at Shen Meng and then at Wang Jing. He rubbed his head with a headache and realized that the other party might have misunderstood something. He explained:

"This is a new employee in the store. Her occupation is [Stealing Cat Demon]. I was just testing her business ability."

"It turns out to be the [Stealing Cat Demon]!" Wang Jing couldn't help being shocked.

Recently, the big guys in the forum have compiled a lot of strategy information. As time goes by, most of the surviving players have some understanding of career information.

[The Stealing Cat Demon] is a second-level profession, leaning towards combat, mid-to-upper level, with good dungeon capabilities and excellent player resistance.

Wang Jing originally thought that the costume Shen Meng was wearing was playing some kind of COS game.

At this moment, he understood that the cat ears and tail were what people already had, and were not put on deliberately for some interest.

But Wang Jing always felt that something was a little strange...

Is it necessary for a restaurant to hire a cat demon as an employee?

At this stage, although most of the players in this city, which is in the middle, have unlocked second-level professions, the number is still relatively small.

After reaching second-level occupations, almost all have relative self-preservation capabilities, and most of them will choose to act independently.

On Mink Street some time ago, he was fully qualified to become the leader of the gang.

Such a little girl actually had the second-level profession of [Stealing Cat Demon], which was beyond Wang Jing's expectation.

But upon closer inspection, it seems that Mr. Chen Ye, who was number one on last month's list, is not very old.

It’s true that heroes have emerged from youth since ancient times!

A beautiful woman should be matched with a young man.

Chen Ye waved his hand casually.

The next second, various bottles and cans appeared on the dark cabinet behind the bar.

It was Chen Ye who bought a lot of condiments from the female condiment seller the last time he entered Yong'an Market.

now.

In his own real estate, Chen Ye can put all the spices stored in the corner above the display cabinet with just a thought.

He turned to look at Wang Jing and said with a smile:

"I have some seasonings here, you can watch them unfold, and then I will leave it to you to be the chef of this restaurant."

Wang Jing's eyes fell on the spices in the cabinet full of spices. He walked forward cautiously and sniffed them with his nose.

As a [Gourmet Chef], he has an obsessive preference for seasonings. As long as the quantity of seasonings is sufficient, he is confident in mixing out various flavors and cooperating with each other to bring out the best.

When he saw the cabinet full of bottles and jars, all filled with exquisite condiments, his eyes were like those of a group of treasure-hunting thieves seeing a treasure, and his pupils reflected a strange light.

He couldn't help but lick his tongue and said with excitement:

"Boss...can I use all these spices?"

"Now that you are the chef, you can use it however you want as long as it can increase your performance." Chen Ye said with a smile.

I have to say that the upgrade speed of King Realm is quite fast.

Now he has been promoted from the second rank [Gourmet Chef] to the half-step third rank [Gourmet Cooker]. Even in terms of the speed of processing ingredients, he is not much inferior to Chen Ye's [Devil Cooker].

After all, the catering industry has been very profitable recently, and Wang Jing has gained many development opportunities under Chen Ye's care.

Using excellent food, accumulating resources, and finally exchanging promotion materials with other players in the [Weird Black Market] is completely achievable within a month.

In addition, King Realm's ranking reached the top 100 last month and was rewarded with characteristic items.

This also speeds up his initial career advancement.

"Okay!" Wang Jing took a deep breath and patted his chest, his face full of confidence: "With these seasonings, whatever kind of delicacies the boss wants me to develop, I can make whatever kind of delicacies I want. The quality and taste are absolutely guaranteed. !”

What kind of food is it? Chen Ye rubbed his chin, thinking about the strategy for the upcoming Honest Restaurant to expand its customer base and increase business.

By the second month, the battle for the top spot turned into rising assets.

If your own "honest restaurant" needs to increase revenue, it needs to use delicious food to attract more customers, build a brand, and attract a fixed customer group.

Therefore, Chen Ye's [Devil Cooker] is not as useful as Wang Jing's [Delicious Cooker].

Giving the position of chef to Wang Jing can also attract more customers with better taste.

Chen Ye's [Devil Cooker] is more focused on scares, using the characteristics of [Thriller Blind Box], which is very useful in the weird value that topped the list last month.

But when assets rise this month, it is completely a negative BUFF...

Although it can leave a deep impression on diners, it can scare them away!

Chen Ye recruited Wang Jing for the development of "Integrity Restaurant".

He suddenly recalled the three slime brothers and sisters who ran over that day, and he had an idea and said:

"By the way, there is a slime family nearby. The members are very large, which means there are actually aboriginal families deep in the park."

"perhaps……"

"You can think of some food with a strong aroma that can attract slimes, and start the slime family's business first."

"Slime!" Wang Jing clapped his hands fiercely and said with a smile, "That's easy to handle. Slime's favorite thing to eat is honey."

As he spoke, he took out a jar of honey from the dining car he pushed over and said with a smile:

"It just so happens... I just bought a jar of honey some time ago, it will come in handy now!"

Chen Ye was surprised: "Where did you get this honey? Is it a weird black market?"

Since unlocking the talent of bloody writing, he often browses the items in the [Weird Black Market]. In addition to special items, ingredients and seasonings are also the types of items he focuses on.

I don’t seem to notice that there are sellers selling honey...

Wang Jing was able to take out the honey, which was beyond Chen Ye's expectation.

"No." Wang Jing shook his head and said, "This jar of honey I can't buy in the [Weird Black Market]."

"Then where did you buy it?" Chen Ye was surprised. Yong'an Market should have been closed, and the female shopkeeper didn't seem to sell honey.

Since it's not Yong'an Market, nor is it a [Weird Black Market], then this jar of honey couldn't have been created by magic from the air, right?

Wang Jing smiled and said: "It seems that the boss doesn't know yet. Recently, an underground city has appeared here. There is an area there that is divided into an underground market. Many strange aborigines have moved there to sell items."

"Dungeon?"

"Yes, although the name sounds quite fancy, the actual location is just where we used to take the subway."

"I see."

Chen Ye suddenly realized it and finally understood.

Linjiang City, as the largest municipality directly under the Central Government in the country, has a very developed subway.

There must be a subway station almost every two kilometers, connecting the entire main city.

The use of perfect transportation has greatly promoted the development of the tourism economy.

However, since the bloody countdown came, many passenger transports have been suspended, and the subway has become deserted.

When the strange era officially comes to this city...

Those subway stations have naturally become mysterious underground cities. Underground tunnels connect all directions, and it is unknown which area they will lead to. There are countless unknowns and crises, and at the same time, there are abundant opportunities.

Just when Chen Ye wanted to see the underground city, Wang Jing sighed:

"Unfortunately, there is no way to enter the dungeon now."

"Why?"

"Have you not paid attention to the recent news? It seems that a player organization has united and occupied the entrance to the dungeon, saying that you have to pay a protection fee to enter."

"Player organization?" Chen Ye frowned slightly, "Which organization is this so bold?"

With such a monopoly, aren't we afraid that players will unite to resist?

Wang Jing showed an indignant look: "What other organization could it be? Of course it's the thugs from Mink Street!"

"Since they left Mink Street, they haven't stopped, looking for the next outlet."

"Isn't this true? The underground market has become popular recently, attracting many players to explore the underground, and the traffic is very high."

"That group of thugs is like guarding the entrance to Lieyang Square. They are specifically nearby to intercept players. They need to pay a protection fee, give personal information, and various commitment letters before they can pass."

Chen Ye frowned slightly. From Wang Jing's words, it was not difficult to tell that the thugs had united?

You know, not long ago, these guys were fighting each other on Mink Street, fighting each other to the death.

Not many days have passed, but they have finally joined forces with such a tacit understanding to collect protection fees?

"Isn't there someone to sanction them?" Chen Ye asked.

"Yes." Wang Jing nodded, but then sighed, "An organization called 'Partners of Justice' said it would launch a resistance against those thugs."

"But on the night of the upcoming operation and on the eve of the attack, the organization suffered a terrorist attack. It is said that only the president, Emiya Shirou, barely survived, and many of the organization's associates died in strange ways."

"Their corpses when they died seemed to have been bitten by the abyss. Their bodies were mutilated and cut at the waist. However, there was no blood flowing out from the broken wounds. There were only lines of terrifying black mist, which kept eating away at their bodies like insects. The body finally disappeared bit by bit..."

"This 'Partners of Justice' is not a small organization. It is said that there were hundreds of players organized at that time, including many second-level bosses. Even the president named Shirou Emiya was a third-level player?"

"But even an organization of this size has been mysteriously eliminated..."

"From now on, no player will dare to target that group of thugs."

Chen Ye frowned and carefully analyzed every information point inside.

I have to say...it's really suspicious!

Judging from Chen Ye's experience, most of the thugs on Mink Street were a mob.

Even if they gather together, no matter how powerful they are, it is impossible to have hundreds of players in such a short period of time. The president is still a third-level organization, so they can be wiped out overnight, right?

The gap in strength is too huge...

And, on the eve of the battle, an attack was launched...

This means that the opponent fully grasps the operational intelligence of the ‘just partners’.

Among that group of thugs, is there another player with extremely powerful intelligence capabilities?

Chen Ye frowned. He knew that there was a player who indeed had such terrifying intelligence capabilities.

But that guy... shouldn't be interested in the disputes among those thugs.

Does this mean there may be someone behind the mob?

The situation in the dungeon suddenly became complicated.

"If there is a chance in the future, maybe we can explore the origin of this dungeon and what happened to those thugs."

Chen Ye whispered to himself, then put the matter aside for the time being, and faced Wang Jing and said:

"In that case, use honey to make some fragrant food first and see if you can increase the customer flow."

"okay!"

Wang Jing nodded immediately, went to the kitchen, took bottles and jars, and started to prepare.

A black kitchen knife appeared in his hand.

If you guessed correctly...

It should be of the same type as the characteristic items that were erupted from the [Dark Chef] on the day Chen Ye stayed up all night.

However, the essence of such items is props for cooking, so they can also be absorbed by [Gourmet Chef].

With the kitchen knife, the chef's ability to handle ingredients has evolved.

Therefore, it also unlocks the ability to process ingredients close to that of [Devil Cooker].

Wang Jing's hand was seen raising the knife and lowering it, and several dazzling knife flowers flashed through the air.

The ingredient he chose this time was a chicken with three heads and six wings.

Prepare to make [Honey Grilled Chicken Wings].

Slime likes the texture of chicken and the taste of honey the most.

Among them, the chicken wings are the best tasting part of the whole chicken. The roasting method with honey has a rich aroma and is the most attractive to slimes.

Wang Jing's technique is like performing an art show. The processing of ingredients, the placement of seasonings... every step is done with ease, and the smoothness is as beautiful as a painting.

When the chicken wings are roasted, a rich aroma hits your nose.

"smell good!"

Shen Meng smelled the smell, and like a greedy little cat, she raised her nose and sniffed hard, almost drooling.

It was as if the cake I just ate was digested in the blink of an eye.

think carefully……

I haven't eaten for five minutes!

Chen Ye was not polite. As the boss, he was the first to taste the "Queen Chef's" first creation.

The moment [Honey Grilled Chicken Wings] entered his mouth, he immediately closed his eyes and felt as if he was back in his childhood. When he went out to barbecue with his friends, his favorite thing to put in grilled chicken wings was honey.

With Wang Jing's blend, the fragrance and sweetness of honey completely stimulate the taste of chicken wings, which is just right, smooth but not greasy.

Moreover, the fragrance was so strong that even across the street, several shops had drawn up their curtains and poked their heads outside, as if looking for where the fragrance was coming from.

"This is really good." Chen Ye praised, "From now on, you will be the chef of this restaurant!"

"I promise to live up to the big boss's high expectations!" Wang Jing smiled honestly, blushing at the praise and feeling a little embarrassed.

At this time, Chen Ye glanced at Shen Meng and threw a piece of chicken wing through the air.

Shen Meng almost didn't react. He grabbed it with his left hand and the grilled chicken wings were about to fall to the ground...

At the critical moment, a ripple of void suddenly appeared on Shen Meng's right hand.

The roasted chicken wings suddenly caught Shen Meng's hand from mid-air.

It is exactly the characteristic ability of [Stealing from the Air]!

Wang Jing was secretly amazed when he saw it. If he had such an ability, he wouldn't need to run over to get ingredients and seasonings when cooking, which would greatly improve the efficiency of cooking!

"Can I eat it?"

Shen Meng pointed to his nose in disbelief.

A second ago, she felt like she had fallen into a tiger's mouth and was about to be eaten...

But now the other party not only didn't eat me, but also took the initiative to give me a piece of such fragrant grilled chicken wings, which was several times more fragrant than cake!

"Of course." Chen Ye said with a smile, "You are my employee, why don't you eat and watch you starve to death?"

"Do you want to eat or not?"

"If you don't want to eat it, I'll take it away!"

Outside the Honesty store, a certain gray mist slapped the window crazily, as if it couldn't wait any longer.

Tsk tsk.

If you don't eat such delicious grilled chicken wings, someone who is even more greedy will not be polite to you later.

"I eat! I eat!"

Shen Meng quickly took a bite of the grilled chicken wings, and the moment he entered his mouth, his eyes suddenly turned into stars.

She no longer cared about her image, and like a greedy kitten, she licked it several times in a row and devoured it, leaving her mouth full of oil.

The sound of a certain gray fog crashing outside became louder...

Chen Ye looked at the scene in front of him and suddenly felt his heart calm down.

Ever since the old man Erhu left, it seems that this small restaurant has not been so lively for a long time.

Back then... this property located in a polluted paradise was once ridiculed by Chen Ye for finally having his first "home" in the strange era.

But now he has grown to like it.

After it became lively, although it wasn't really home, it finally gave me a little more sense of belonging, right?
