The Most Luxurious Roadside Stall

"Good grief, he's already calling him his adoptive father..."

Nearby, Mo Shang watched the scene and couldn't help feeling embarrassed. But just then, he seemed to think of something and turned to Director Chen.

"Director Chen, I have something here that you might be interested in."

"What is it?" Mo Shang's words piqued Director Chen's interest.

With Mo Shang's strength, whatever he brought out clearly wouldn't be an ordinary thing.

"Millennium Spirit Ginseng."

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed at the air. A ginseng root as thick as a radish appeared in his hand.

A faint, refreshing fragrance wafted through the air. In the blink of an eye, it filled the entire base. The scent seemed to possess a wondrous magic: a single breath of it lifted people's spirits and swept away their fatigue.

"Good heavens, that ginseng is huge!"

Director Chen drew in a sharp breath as he stared at the Spirit Ginseng in Mo Shang's hand.

As the director of the Supernatural Management Bureau, he had seen plenty of good things, but never a ginseng root this big.

"This isn't ordinary ginseng, but Spirit Ginseng. It contains an enormous amount of life force. As long as you still have a breath left, a small slice will restore you in an instant. It's the perfect medicine for travel, monster-hunting, and adventuring." Mo Shang smiled faintly as he explained the value of the Millennium Spirit Ginseng.

"Does it really have those effects?" Chen Guodong couldn't help being astonished when he heard what the Spirit Ginseng could do.

"I guarantee it's the real thing. I'm a cultivator—would I really sell you a fake?" Mo Shang nodded.

"Mr. Mo Shang, what would you like in exchange for this ginseng?" Director Chen hesitated for a moment, then turned to ask him.

"Money, and a legal identity." Mo Shang held up one finger.

"A legal identity is no problem; that's easy enough. But how much money do you want?" Chen Guodong thought it over before asking again.

"One hundred billion." Mo Shang didn't hold back. He went straight for one hundred billion.

"Well, the Spirit Ginseng is certainly valuable, but one hundred billion is a bit much..." Director Chen's expression grew conflicted at Mo Shang's asking price.

"Two roots." Mo Shang pulled out another Spirit Ginseng.

"Deal!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Director Chen made the decision on the spot. The corners of his mouth kept creeping upward as he rejoiced inwardly. A hundred billion for a strategic-level item. What a steal!

At that moment, not only Chen Guodong but Mo Shang too wore a smile. Two ordinary Spirit Ginseng roots for a hundred billion. I've made a killing!

That's right. What Mo Shang had brought out wasn't Millennium Spirit Ginseng at all, but ordinary Spirit Ginseng that could be found everywhere in the Mystic Heaven Realm.

Of course, he hadn't lied to the other man. Though it was ordinary Spirit Ginseng, its effects would be more than enough for the mortals of this world...

"Pleasure doing business with you." Mo Shang and Chen Guodong shook hands.

At that moment, both men thought they'd gotten a great deal. Neither felt that he'd come out on the losing end!

Dusk was settling in, and none of them stayed long at the base.

But Mo Shang and the others weren't the only ones leaving. Chen Guodong had also sent two people from the Ability Bureau with them to provide close protection.

Of course, Mo Shang and the other powerful one didn't need protection. Zhou Yi was the one who needed it...

"Would you like us to take you home?" Zhang San, dressed in a black uniform and wearing sunglasses, asked the group.

"Sure..."

Zhou Yi nodded and was just about to agree when Mo Shang suddenly cut him off.

"Why go home? Now that we've got money, we should treat ourselves to a good meal first. Take us to the Most Luxurious Roadside Stall." Mo Shang turned to Zhang San.

"Uh, the Most Luxurious Roadside Stall? Mr. Mo Shang, did you misspeak?" Zhang San paused, looking bewildered.

"I'll give directions; you drive..." Mo Shang didn't waste any more words and began directing him.

An hour later, following Mo Shang's directions, the car pulled up beside a roadside late-night food stall.

They all climbed out of the car. When they saw the stall's name, Zhang San, Li Si, and Zhou Yi all froze in place.

"The Most Luxurious Roadside Stall? There's really a place with that name?" Zhang San asked blankly.

There was no other explanation. The place right in front of them was called "The Most Luxurious Roadside Stall." Not a single character was different...

While they were still standing there, stunned, Mo Shang had already led Jiang Shuyu and Yellow Immortal inside.

Seeing people come in, the owner, who had been playing a game at the front counter, hurried over to greet them warmly. "What can I get for you folks?"

"Don't you have a menu?" Mo Shang asked when the owner came over empty-handed without one.

"No menu. Just name anything you want, and we can make it." The owner smiled and answered matter-of-factly.

"Do you have King Crab?" Mo Shang became interested and asked at once.

"We do. How many would you like?" The owner nodded and began scribbling in a notebook.

Mo Shang didn't answer. He held up one finger.

"One?"

"One for each person." Mo Shang gave a slight shake of his head, then continued.

"One each? So, five?" The owner's eyes widened.

"One for everyone here. It's on me." Mo Shang spoke again, sweeping his gaze across the entire late-night stall.

Although night had only just fallen, quite a few customers were already seated in front of the stall.

"One for everyone here? Boss, that's quite a lot. You..."

"I'm not short on money. Just write it down. I'm doing this for fun."

"All right, all right, no problem. Whatever you say. What else would you like?" The owner didn't say anything more and wrote down the quantity.

"Can you make Buddha Jumps Over the Wall?"

"We can, we can. One serving each?"

"No. Unlimited."

"Unlimited?! You mean, eat as much as you want?"

"I'm not short on money. Just write it down."

"Oh, ha ha ha! Now that's a big order! Here, boss, have some tea to wet your throat."

The owner was getting a little overwhelmed. He hurried to grab a few bottles of Oriental Leaf tea from the fridge and offer them to the group.

"Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, unlimited! I've never sold it that way in my life. Boss, what else would you like?" The owner beamed as he wrote down everything Mo Shang had ordered.

"Got any recommendations?" Mo Shang took a sip of tea and asked.

"How about steak? Top-grade imported Snowflake Wagyu!"

"Sounds good."

"Coming right up. How many servings would you like?"

"You tell me."

"Me? I tell you!" The owner pointed at himself, looking incredulous.

"Right. I'm not short on money."

"Good heavens, I get to decide? Then a hundred servings!"

"Write it down."

"Wait, is this how people order food?"

Nearby, Zhou Yi was dumbfounded. One King Crab per person, unlimited Buddha Jumps Over the Wall—he'd never have imagined anyone ordering food like this.

"Don't you think this owner is pretty extraordinary too? He's confident he can serve such huge quantities of food..." Zhang San was astonished, but he also noticed that something was out of the ordinary.

Never mind anything else. A roadside stall owner who could serve these dishes had already more than earned the name "Most Luxurious Roadside Stall"!
