Online, People Could Run Their Mouths All They Wanted, but Who Didn't Want to Try a Nezha Burger in Real Life?

A long line had formed in front of Su Yun's food cart.

With nothing but his industrial sugar water and meat patties packed with all sorts of additives, he had managed to make his initial capital in just one morning.

It was noon. The sun blazed overhead.

Su Yun wiped his hands and turned toward the general store behind him. Business there was dismal, and the owner was so jealous he looked ready to go mad.

"Boss, let's talk."

Su Yun slammed a heavy bag of Silver Soul Coins onto the counter with a clang.

"This money's yours, and the shop's mine. You've got half an hour to take your people and your goods and disappear."

The general store owner opened the purse and stared at the glimmer inside, his eyes nearly popping out of his head.

This was enough money for him to open two shops!

"Sure thing, sir! I'll get out right away! Right away!"

Two in the afternoon. The shop had been cleared out, and the doors were shut tight.

"Calling Special Command's engineering team."

Su Yun stood in the middle of the empty shop, pressing a hand to his earpiece.

"Activate Infrastructure Maniac Mode. Objective: renovate a standardized fast-food flagship store. Are the supplies ready?"

"Confirmed. The modular renovation package has been stacked at Transfer Station Zero. 001, please transport it yourself."

Su Yun sighed and rolled his wrists and neck.

"Fine. Guess I'm the muscle."

He walked to the spacious lot behind the shop and abruptly swiped his right hand through the air.

Bzz—

The air shuddered violently as a portal tore open out of nowhere.

Building materials and mountains of supply crates were faintly visible beyond it.

Su Yun plunged into the portal. A few seconds later, he came staggering back out, dragging a huge silver metal crate.

"These are prefabricated integrated wall panels... Whew... They're heavy."

Then he turned and went back through, making trip after trip between the two worlds.

Rolls of high-grade nonslip flooring, disassembled stainless-steel kitchen units, enormous panes of tempered glass... Su Yun hauled them out of the Light Gate one by one.

There was no need for a bricklayer, and no waiting for paint to dry.

"Xiao Wu! Quit staring and give me a hand!"

Su Yun tossed a wall panel to Xiao Wu, who was gaping in shock.

"You're strong, so you're in charge of snapping this thing onto the wall! It's like building with blocks, got it?"

And so the mighty Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit was forced to become a renovation laborer, busily assembling this industrial marvel from another world.

Seven in the evening.

Night fell, and Notting City sank into darkness as usual, with only a few scattered candles flickering in the wind.

Just then—

Click.

Su Yun flipped the main power switch.

BZZZ—!!

A bold, pure, utterly unreasonable white light tore through the night in an instant!

The brand-new shop looked like a glowing box that had fallen from the heavens.

Light poured through its enormous floor-to-ceiling windows, flooding the street and illuminating the area thirty meters in front of the entrance as bright as day!

Above the shop, a huge illuminated sign lit up. It showed a cartoon boy riding Wind Fire Wheels and holding a hamburger, beside four spellbinding red characters—

[Nezha Burger]

"Holy crap! What's that?!"

"So bright! Did the sun fall out of the sky?"

"Those walls... are they transparent? Good heavens, they're so clean! And so high-end!"

People could run their mouths online all they wanted, but who didn't want to try a Nezha Burger in real life?

To the people of Notting City, this era-defying light pollution and industrial aesthetic were like a strike from a higher dimension.

Eight in the evening.

A hundred-meter line had already formed outside Nezha Burger.

At the end of the queue stood an elderly man and a young girl, both of them looking completely out of place.

The old man wore a spotless, plain robe. His hair and beard were white, and he stood as straight as a sword.

With his hands clasped behind his back and his expression indifferent, he made the people around him instinctively give him a wide berth.

He was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's pillar of jade, Sword Douluo Chenxin.

The little girl was about six years old.

She wore a delicate pale-blue puff-sleeved dress and a jeweled hair clip. Her skin was as pale as porcelain.

She was Ning Rongrong, who had secretly slipped out to play.

"Grandpa Sword! How much longer do we have to wait?"

Ning Rongrong pouted and stamped her delicate little shoes so hard that they made a racket.

"That shop is so bright! Brighter than our Glazed Hall! And it smells amazing! I can even smell the sweetness!"

She rose onto her tiptoes, gazing eagerly at the glowing sign.

"Nezha? Who's that? Does he eat hamburgers too? I want one! I want one now!"

Seeing how hungry his little princess looked, Chen Xin helplessly crouched down and coaxed her.

"Be good, Rongrong. Since we came out, we have to follow the rules. Grandpa will wait in line with you. It'll be our turn soon."

The mighty Titled Douluo had no choice but to stand obediently in line behind a crowd of commoners.

Chen Xin glanced up at the shop, marveling to himself.

"Such transparent crystal walls... Such a pure source of light... Since when has little Notting City had such a marvel?"

Half an hour later.

Nezha Burger was packed with customers and noisy with chatter.

Xiao Wu, who was frantically bagging orders at the counter, suddenly froze all over.

Her little face went deathly pale, and a flicker of terror from the depths of her soul flashed in her eyes.

"Boss! There's a problem!"

Xiao Wu suddenly tossed the takeout bag in her hands onto the counter.

"Something urgent's come up at home! My grandma's about to give birth to my dad! I have to go deliver the baby!!"

Before Su Yun could react, she bolted toward the back of the shop like a startled rabbit, vanishing without even leaving a blur behind.

Su Yun froze, the skimmer in his hand suspended over the fryer as he made French fries.

He slowly turned to look in the direction Xiao Wu had disappeared, completely dumbfounded.

"Huh? Your grandma... is giving birth to your dad?"

Su Yun angrily threw the skimmer into the fryer and roared toward the back door:

"If you're going to skip work, can't you come up with a more believable excuse?! I'm docking your pay! This time I'm taking every last one of your carrots!"

But the only answer was silence.

"Damn it, she bails right when I need her most..."

"Hey! It's dinner rush! We're swamped, lady!"

Cursing under his breath, Su Yun was forced to enter extreme solo-carry mode.

Su Yun became a thousand-armed Asura, bagging fries with his left hand, adding ice to cola with his right, and dealing with the line stretching outside.

"Sorry, our employee's got a serious brain problem. She's been taken to the emergency room. Next!"

"Two spicy chicken burgers, right? Here you go! We don't have mildly spicy—only insane spicy and super insane spicy! Next!"

"Quit rushing me! What's the hurry? The fries are cooking! Hey, you—stop drinking the cola!"

Amid the chaos, Su Yun gritted his teeth and served five or six waves of customers at an astonishing speed.

Ten more minutes passed before the rush finally eased a little.

"Whew..."

Su Yun wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling as though his wrists were about to snap.

He mechanically tidied up the cluttered counter and called out without looking up:

"Next! Hurry up and order!"

The moment Su Yun looked up, his expression froze.

A little girl, as pretty as a porcelain doll, was standing at the counter. He had no idea when she had arrived.

Ning Rongrong fluttered up to the counter like a little songbird. Clinging to its edge with both hands, she peered over it, her big eyes blinking at Su Yun as she spoke in a sugary voice:

"Big brother! I want that round meat patty! And those golden-brown strips of fried meat! And that fizzy black water!"

"I want the biggest one! The super, super big one!"

Looking at the adorable little girl who was impossible to resist and clearly had money to spend, Su Yun put on a professional fake smile.

"Little girl, that's the Supreme Happy Family Bucket. It comes with fried chicken, a hamburger, French fries, and two large colas."

"That'll be three Gold Soul Coins."

Standing behind the register, Su Yun pushed up his sunglasses and quoted a price that would have left ordinary people in despair.

However—

Chen Xin, standing behind Ning Rongrong, didn't even lift an eyelid.

He casually pulled three gleaming Gold Soul Coins from his sleeve and set them on the counter.

He did it as casually as if he were tossing away three pebbles.

"Keep the change," Chen Xin said flatly.

Su Yun raised an eyebrow. Good grief, you haven't even given me the chance to make change.

Soon, a large bucket of freshly fried chicken, a hamburger, and two colas filled to the brim with ice were set in front of Ning Rongrong.

Ning Rongrong eagerly grabbed a hamburger.

The fluffy, tender bun held a golden, crispy fried chicken thigh, fresh lettuce, and special salad dressing.

She opened her little mouth and took a big bite.

Crunch!

The crispy breadcrumbs shattered between her teeth. Hot meat juices mingled with the aroma of rich, greasy goodness, exploding across her mouth!

"Mmm!!!!"
