A Single Battle Made Him Famous

To be honest, Bai Zhi never expected that the Shadow Guard would be frozen here.

He initially thought that summoned creatures Type Shadow Guard weren't allowed in the restaurant, but now it seems that's not the case at all... Speaking of which, can you eat Shadow Guard?

Looking at the Shadow Guard frozen in ice in front of him, Bai Zhi inexplicably felt a toothache.

The toothache wasn't caused by that; rather, after checking himself, he was speechless to discover that the [Beat Up Doll] that should always be by his side was also gone.

As for the whereabouts of the [Beat Up Doll], it's likely to suffer the same fate as the Shadow Guard... Is this restaurant really just trying to skim off every last penny?

Previously, communication with these missing Shadow Guard had been severed, but now, with their discovery, the broken connection has been re-established, albeit very weakly.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi canceled the Shadow Puppet and another Shadow Guard, while the remaining two Shadow Guard remained frozen in ice.

After doing all that, Bai Zhi carefully searched the Ice Storage again and finally found the [Beat Up Doll] frozen in a corner.

After putting the Freeze [Beat Up Doll] into his Inventory, Bai Zhi turned and left the Ice Storage.

Lunch time is the same as breakfast time, and the process is basically the same, except that there are eight menus now. There's no point in forming groups anymore; everyone just gets one.

Unlike breakfast time, the number of ingredients put into the kitchen has increased to twenty-eight. This time, the ingredients are no longer limited to elephants, crocodiles, spiders, or centipedes; Legendary monsters or creatures have also begun to appear.

--For example, the Mermaid.

"This thing can be called Mermaid?! Give me back all my fantasies about Mermaid, you bastard!!"

A fist covered in black slammed into the Mermaid's head, sending her flying. August Desolation looked utterly devastated.

In fact, it wasn't just him; everyone else looked equally displeased in the face of the Mermaid.

The reason is quite simple: this Mermaid is backwards.

This thing has the upper body of a fish and the lower body of human legs, specifically two large, hairy legs. Its attack method is a deadly, soul-chasing kick, and it even has a strong odor of athlete's foot...

With such a large quantity of fresh ingredients to process, and considering that these animals were not simply driven by instinct like they were in the morning, no one could remain uninvolved; everyone was involved in the food preparation process.

For a time, the kitchen was in complete Utter Chaos, with pots and pans flying everywhere and bowls, chopsticks, knives, and plates clattering all at once.

Amidst the chaotic battle, Bai Zhi was constantly distracted, using his God's Perspective to oversee the entire situation and gather relevant intelligence.

The ADC is undoubtedly Cloudfall Illusion, Two Lives Cycle and Li Changsheng are junglers, Earthly Homeland Fireworks of Romance is a teamfight Mage, Ren Jian Gu Li is Support, and August Desolation Huang is a tank and Warrior, relying on his Armament Haki and food ingredients to fight head-on.

--No one who can participate in this Dungeon is weak.

However, after being exposed from stealth by an unknown AOE attack for the fifth time, Li Changsheng quietly gave up the idea of stealth jungling and switched to the Mage class.

As for Bai Zhi himself and the Positive and Negative...

Bai Zhi gave the other person a look that said, "What a coincidence, you're slacking off too."

The battle came quickly and ended just as quickly; after the entire kitchen was left in a mess, everything settled down.

The lunch dishes still didn't require much skill to prepare, but because everyone was cooking individually, the workload was noticeably heavier.

As a result, after the dishes they were responsible for were finished, some of Constitution weaker people, such as Earthly Homeland, were already pale and could not even stand up, and most of the others were not much better off.

"This won't do, it's only the first day... Do we really have to try eating this?"

From God's Perspective, Bai Zhi took in the changes in everyone's expressions. Looking at the dish in front of him and feeling the significant depletion of his energy, he frowned slightly.

A person's energy and spirit are not only reflected in physical strength, but also in mental state. Bai Zhi was now vaguely feeling mental fatigue.

Actually, his situation is better than others, because others also have to face the drain on their Sanity, while he doesn't have to worry about that.

After a moment's thought, Bai Zhi took a black Magic Cube out of his Inventory.

Currently, this Magic Cube's Cube contains the Strength of four Curse: [Lord of Flesh and Blood], [Doll Princess], an unknown Mutation Curse, and [Eden].

If I add this Magic Cube to the dish in front of me, could it poison all the customers outside?

Bai Zhi felt that this should be fine.

This place is just Low-level Restaurant. Even if a being like Evil God were to patronize it, it wouldn't condescend to come to such Low-level Restaurant, because it would be too beneath its class.

So the plan to poison the guests should still succeed... but it's pointless.

After a moment's thought, Bai Zhi shook his head slightly and put the Magic Cube away again.

He currently has too little information and needs more. Planning for the late- Midnight Snack Time and exploring other areas will all take time.

Having witnessed the deadly danger at the Serving Hatch, the others naturally didn't want to take any more risks, so the presentation of the dishes was still handled by Fireworks of Romance.

This time, Bai Zhi had a change of heart and didn't add any dish soap or seasoning to the dishes. However, considering that Customer are always God, he decided to send those Customer to meet their God this time.

--So this time he added Aqua Regia.

After all the dishes were served through the Serving Hatch, the Loudspeaker overhead suddenly blared into the kitchen.

"Ahem... Hello, hello, can you hear me? I have a few announcements to make. Kitchen No. 094, of the five dishes prepared this morning, dish Number One was extremely well received by the guests, so the Chef who prepared it has received a gift from them. The gift has been delivered to your room; please check it yourself."

As the Loudspeaker's voice faded, the other Player's eyes all turned to Li Changsheng and the Earthly Homeland.

The Number One dish of the morning was prepared by the two of them.

However, before anyone else could ask, the Loudspeaker above their heads started talking again.

"In addition, in Kitchen No. 094, of the five dishes prepared this morning, dish Number Two received a strong complaint from a customer. However, since the customer died shortly after the complaint, the complaint will not be pursued. Therefore, the Chef who prepared dish Number Two will need to prepare an extra dish today."

"..."

As the Loudspeaker above suddenly fell silent, everyone's strange gazes turned to Positive and Negative.

--The Number Two dish in the morning was prepared by them.

Meanwhile, the blaring from the overhead Loudspeaker showed no sign of stopping.

"Finally, Kitchen No. 094, of the five dishes prepared this morning, Dish No. 4 received a negative voice message from a customer. The message reads: [※※※※※!!※※※※※※!!※※※※※※※※※※!!!] Chef, please keep up the good work and achieve even greater success! OVER."

As a series of harsh Silencer sounds faded away, the Loudspeaker overhead fell silent, and everyone in the kitchen, including Fireworks of Romance, turned their attention back to Bai Zhi.

--The Dish No. 4 in the morning was prepared by him and Fireworks of Romance together.
