"Holy crap, I think I just saw a ghost of a starving person reincarnated!"

"My god, this guy can really eat. I've never seen someone make a buffet owner lose money before."

"This is obviously an internet celebrity streamer. I'm gonna ask him which platform he's on and his room number."

"……"

Inside the "Lanbowan Buffet Restaurant," customers pointed at Jiang Qiao, their faces filled with shock.

At this moment, the plates and steamers on Jiang Qiao's table were stacked higher than a person.

And this was after the waitstaff had cleared away several loads.

The owner of the buffet restaurant twitched at the sight.

When this guy took food, it was like he was stocking up, taking huge amounts at once and completely clearing out a section.

In all his years of owning a restaurant, he had never seen someone eat so much. He wondered if it was one of those online "can't get full" warriors visiting his establishment.

However, he didn't feel too upset. As the saying goes, "A restaurant isn't afraid of big eaters." No matter how much Jiang Qiao ate, he was only equivalent to four or five people. It wouldn't cost much.

Instead, he could use this as a gimmick for a hot advertising topic!

The owner had his own short video account and was immediately preparing to have someone write a script and post a video. The title would be: Shocking! Kitchen Staff Resign Overnight, All Because of a Mysterious Man.

He'd also buy a trending topic and find some marketing accounts to stir up the hype.

In short, Jiang Qiao might have made a small profit from this, but the owner wouldn't lose anything!

Jiang Qiao ignored the gazes of others.

He arranged the last few dozen shrimp in a circle on his plate, then slurped them into his mouth with a "slurp slurp" sound, twirling the plate.

"Mmm--"

Wiping his mouth, Jiang Qiao smiled with satisfaction.

He found that after solidifying his Invincible Body, his body had become strange.

He could go a long time without eating and feel no hunger at all. But every time he did eat, he needed to consume the portion of several people to feel full.

This was perfect for eating at buffets!

After finishing, Jiang Qiao refused the owner's smiling interview and left directly.

There were still over ten minutes before the simulator cooled down.

He used this time to purchase some supplies.

First, he bought a large quantity of fermented soybean curd, stinky tofu, stinky braised shrimp, fish mint, cilantro-flavored instant noodles, and fermented herring cans.

These were essential ingredients for the Gourmet to make burgers; without them, the burgers would lack soul.

After that, he bought a windbreaker, hiking boots, a tent, a moisture-proof mat, a sleeping bag, an outdoor water purifier, a foldable solar power panel, and various other items that might be used outdoors.

Finally, at a nearby pharmacy, he picked up a large quantity of antibiotics and vitamins.

The young lady at the pharmacy, smiling, earned a large commission and wanted to get Jiang Qiao's contact information. But Jiang Qiao only gave her an orange and left, turning his back.

As he walked out of the pharmacy, Jiang Qiao checked his phone and saw that "Happy" was adding him again.

But this time was different; there was a verification message.

"Hello Master, could you please accept my friend request? I have an urgent matter to consult."

Master???

Jiang Qiao was a bit bewildered.

Since coming to this world, he had only put on a charade of being a mystic in front of Old Zhou and the inn owner Wang Fugui this morning.

So, was this Wang Fugui or Old Zhou?

It looked like Old Zhou was the most likely candidate. After all, he had a need for metaphysics and was in a hurry to add him, which was normal.

So, Old Zhou's WeChat name was "Happy," and he was female?

Damn it!!!

This was outrageous!

Jiang Qiao thought for a moment, then finally added the contact and replied: "Hello, you're quite bold."

Putting his phone in his pocket, Jiang Qiao prepared to start another simulation.

A high-end restaurant.

"Ningning, what are you looking at?"

A petite, sweet-looking girl asked curiously.

She was Shen Yingning's childhood best friend, Qin Silu, who was currently a teacher at Bin City High School.

Besides her, sitting opposite them was a refined-looking man. He was Qin Silu's new boyfriend, Zhao Kai, who was reportedly a department head at an investment bank.

"It's nothing, just some work-related stuff."

Shen Yingning put down her phone, a smile on her face, but feeling a bit dejected inside.

Her application was still lost in the sea of emails. She couldn't even add the Master as a friend, how could she ask for advice?

Perhaps, she should just call the Master directly?

"I heard from Lulu that Miss Shen is not only a top student from Shuimu University but also started her own archery club right after graduation. That's truly amazing," Zhao Kai said with a smile, his tone laced with admiration.

"I usually enjoy working out, but I've never shot an arrow before. I definitely have to try it sometime."

Shen Yingning smiled slightly after hearing this. "I'm just messing around with my family's money; it's hardly starting a business. If you guys are willing to come play, I'll give you two cards later. You're always welcome."

Opening an archery club was just her personal hobby. In fact, it had been losing money to this day.

As they were chatting, a notification sound suddenly came from her phone.

Shen Yingning glanced at it, first stunned, then a look of pleasant surprise appeared on her face.

The Master had accepted her friend request!

It wasn't easy!

She breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.

However, with Zhao Kai, an outsider, present, it wasn't appropriate for her to show her excitement. So, she politely said, "Excuse me, I'm going to the restroom."

Shen Yingning stood up and walked into the corridor, quickly opening WeChat, wanting to greet the Master.

But then her gaze froze.

"Hello, you're so flirtatious?"

The Master... what did that mean?

On the other side, Zhao Kai, who had watched Shen Yingning leave, casually asked his girlfriend, "Lulu, what does your best friend's family do? They seem quite wealthy."

At this moment, Jiang Qiao had opened the simulator again.

Huh?

The quality of the talents this time is really high.

And it's the first time a luck-based talent has appeared.

However, the way to use this talent is by rolling dice. Is this asking me to be a gambler?

Eating, drinking, and messing around all lead to losses, only gambling offers a return?
