Old Ancestor Qiankun Couldn't Sit Still! Underworld Fast Food Chain!

The Primordial Kirin's honest yet powerful declaration, like a stabilizing force, instantly struck the Metaverse shipping market, calming the restless hearts of all players who had been tempted by flaunting their wealth.

"Insurance? What does that mean?"

"That sounds too far-fetched! Does he mean if my boat capsizes, he'll still compensate me?"

"Full compensation?! Is Qilin Ancestor really that honest? Does that mean we can do whatever we want when we're on the ship?"

The human players were in an uproar.

They had a vague understanding of the new word "insurance," but the four words "full compensation" were etched into their minds with divine clarity.

Taking advantage of the momentum, Primordial Kirin immediately established "Kirin Insurance" offices in major cities of the Metaverse.

The office's style was just like his personality: solid and imposing, entirely built of huge bluestones, with two majestic stone sculptures of Qilin squatting at the entrance; just looking at them made one feel at ease.

His first product was simple, straightforward, and struck a chord deep within the soul of every racing game player.

--"Shipping Accident Insurance".

Each year, only a negligible amount of Lin Shen Coin needs to be paid as "insurance premium".

After that, whether your boat is capsized by a river monster or hit by a reef due to the tide, it's all over.

With just the "accident report" generated by the system, you can go to the office and receive compensation in Lin Shen Coin equivalent to the loss.

This completely ignited the market.

After all, no one can claim to be the lucky one blessed by Lady Luck forever.

Spend a small amount of money to buy peace of mind and protection.

Anyone can do the math!

At Primordial Kirin's insurance company, the "premium fund pool" in the account was accumulating at an alarming rate.

The massive amount of Lin Shen Coin converged into a surging cash flow, propelling him to instant fame and making him a highly sought-after "financial tycoon" in the underworld.

He had even started to put his hands behind his back, pondering whether he should learn from the folk tales of the mortal world, do some "venture capital," and see if there were any "startups" in the human race worth supporting.

For example, the Nüwa named "Wa" seems to have a promising future with her studio full of strange and wonderful gadgets.

Thus, the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans have firmly grasped the golden track of "navigation," respectively dominating the three major sectors of "infrastructure and transportation," "modification and beautification," and "financial insurance."

A three-way business landscape has been formed once again.

Deep within the underworld, the Qiankun Food Sage was burning with rage at the sight.

His "Qiankun Food Mansion" also kept up with the times and launched a "secret barbecue seasoning," but the sales were dismal.

Ultimately, the amount of seasoning used was too small.

A small packet of barbecue seasoning is enough for an entire tribe to use for several days, resulting in an absurdly low repurchase rate.

While those three were counting their Lin Shen Coin until their hands cramped, he could only guard a pot of bland "Chicken Soup for the Soul," providing basic welfare to those hungry ghosts who couldn't afford it.

The enormous contrast caused his bloated, Sage's Heart immense torment.

"No way! I want to do something big too!"

The Qiankun Food Sage slapped his trembling belly hard and made up his mind.

He immediately delved into the Metaverse and began conducting market research himself.

He quickly discovered the Achilles' heel of the Suiren Shi Catering Group —the food was served too slowly!

Grilling a fish, from scaling and gutting to cooking it over a fire, takes at least fifteen minutes.

For players eager to set sail for trade or log in to fight, every minute and second is incredibly precious. Who has the time to just wait around?

Moreover, grilled fish and meat are quite expensive, and ultimately, not every player can afford to eat them every day.

The market needs something faster, cheaper, and that can quickly fill people's stomachs!

A word exploded in his mind.

Fast food!

The eyes of the Qiankun Food Sage gleamed with a light unique to the God of Food.

He recalled his signature skill, the unparalleled technique that had once unlocked Lin Shen's "culinary heart"...

Roasted Sweet Potato!

Sweet potatoes are found everywhere on the Primordial Land; they are the most inconspicuous, and even some ingredients that are not worthy of being served at formal occasions.

But at this moment, he saw it as a golden opportunity.

Short growth cycle, huge yield, and almost zero cost!

Most importantly, once baked, it becomes sweet, soft, and chewy, providing an unparalleled feeling of fullness!

This is simply the perfect fast food item!

A grand business plan took shape in his mind.

Without further hesitation, his obese body burst forth with astonishing speed, and he dashed to Lin Shen's "Great Dao Candy House" in a flash.

At this moment, the young ancestor Lin Can was surrounded by a group of graceful fairy ghosts.

They were having a competition to see whose dance moves were more graceful and who could make the Little Ancestor happier, in exchange for that precious "Lin Shen Coin" daily wage.

"Junior Brother! Junior Brother!"

The Qiankun Food Sage a heavy chariot, pushed through the adorned crowd and rushed breathlessly to Lin Shen.

"Senior brother, I've come up with another brilliant idea that will make you so rich in Lin Shen Coin you'll need sacks to carry them!"

Upon hearing that there was another new idea, Lin Shen's large, black, gem-like eyes instantly lit up.

"What's your idea, Fatty Senior Brother?"

"Let's open a chain of stores!" The Qiankun Food Sage lowered his voice, speaking mysteriously, as if he were sharing a shocking secret.

"A chain store?" Lin Shen tilted his head.

"Yes! We want to get lots and lots of people to open our stores!" Qiankun Food Sage gestured excitedly as he began his business roadshow.

"Junior brother, think about it. How much can we sell by ourselves? It's too slow! We need to get everyone in the world to help us sell!"

"As for me, I'll provide my exclusive, secret recipe for Roasted Sweet Potato, guaranteeing that the roasted sweet potatoes will be fragrant and sweet, unforgettable after just one bite!"

"Let's design a small, portable 'Sweet Potato Cart' so they can do business anywhere!"

"Then, anyone who wants to open a store has to pay us a 'Franchise Fee' first, so they can use our recipe and Sweet Potato Cart!"

"For every Roasted Sweet Potato they sell, we take a small cut of the profit!"

"Junior brother, imagine this: in the future, our 'Qiankun Roasted Sweet Potato' will be everywhere in the entire Metaverse! We can comfortably lie at home, and Lin Shen Coin will flow into our pockets like water from a great river!"

The Qiankun Food Sage spoke of it with a dry mouth and shining eyes.

Lin Shen listened with a look of longing.

He didn't understand what "franchising" meant, nor did he understand what "commission" meant.

But he understood the most crucial point.

This chubby senior brother can make so many places smell that delicious Roasted Sweet Potato aroma!

How delicious that would be!

This is fantastic!

"Okay! Let's do it this way!"

Lin Shen clapped his hands on the spot and immediately made the decision.

Thus, the first "restaurant franchise" brand in the history of the Primordial World - "Qiankun Store Gold Medal Roasted Sweet Potato" - was officially born amidst singing birds, dancing butterflies, and the sweet aroma of candy!

The moment this project was announced, it instantly ignited the passion of players at the bottom of the entire Metaverse.

For ordinary humans who have neither fighting talent nor business acumen, this is nothing short of a godsend!

The entry barrier to joining is so low it's practically negligible!

It's so easy to use, anyone can do it!

The market demand is unimaginably large!

All you need is a small cart and an oven to start your own business!

In no time, countless "Qiankun Store" stalls sprang up like mushrooms after rain in the streets and alleys of the Metaverse.

"Freshly baked Roasted Sweet Potato! Fragrant and sweet, one Lin Shen Coin, fair price for everyone!"

"Don't miss out! A recipe personally passed down by the Qiankun Food Sage, if you don't like it, you don't have to pay!"

That domineering aroma, a blend of caramel and sweetness, has become the warmest and most captivating undertone of dusk in the Metaverse.

Countless players who have finished a day's work or battle will buy a steaming hot roasted Roasted Sweet Potato, hold it in their hands, sit by the roadside, and devour it while watching people come and go.

Qiankun Food Sage's chain empire rapidly conquered the fast food market in the underworld with overwhelming force.

The rate at which the Lin Shen Coin in his account grew even surpassed the total amount accumulated by the Founding Ancestors of the Three Tribes!

He stood beside his enormous "stewing vat," gazing contentedly at the thousands of bright red dots representing franchise stores on the light screen.

At that moment, for the first time, he felt the unparalleled glory and joy of being a "Catering Tycoon".
