482. Late-Night Canteen

Bai Jing Restaurant has quietly reopened.

As it turns out, Sulu's skills are not so irreplaceable.

The consequence of operating during arbitrary hours was a further reduction in his already sluggish customer traffic.

After all, his cooking skills are only LV4, which is not much different from some top chefs.

If you upgrade to LV8, then you can really do whatever you want, and others who want to eat will have to obediently put up with your bad temper, because you are unique!

But Sulu was too lazy to do that.

Experience points are valuable; how can we waste them?

I started out to make a living, but honestly, this level of customer traffic is enough now.

Inside the restaurant.

The atmosphere was very quiet.

The customers who remain loyal despite all this 'torture' either live nearby or are simply kind-hearted.

Sitting there quietly and enjoying the food at this moment has a style reminiscent of a coffee shop or similar relaxing place.

'Speaking of which... should I really make some changes? I feel like the restaurant is too noisy...'

'Or... change the opening hours to late at night, and become a late-night eatery?'

As Sulu wielded the cleaver swiftly on the cutting board, he pondered silently.

He prefers the night.

That feeling of tranquility and acceptance is wonderful.

Furthermore, the darkness provides cover, making people more relaxed and more likely to reveal their innermost secrets!

He glanced at his Attribute Panel:

Name: [Sulu Potter] (Bai Jing)

Occupation: [Hypnotist] (Tier 1)

Job Rank:[1]

Strength: [1.2], Agility: [1.1], Constitution: [1.1], Spirit: [2.3]

Skills: [Cooking LV4], [Martial Arts LV4], [Hypnosis LV1]

XP:[50]

'After receiving the blue crystal, I was already a [hypnotist]. Having mastered 'hypnosis,' although I can't quite reach the power I once possessed in the Mind World, it's not difficult for me to exert some extraordinary hypnotic influence, making people unconsciously drawn to me and reveal their secrets.'

'Even more importantly, through long-term hypnosis, one can plant seeds in the mind and recruit subordinates. This is more difficult, but one can try controlling animals first.'

'Most importantly, the Spirit World of this world is very difficult to access...'

Since that 'calling', Sulu has understood.

His Mythical Body transformed into a transcendent seed, taking root deep within the world!

The ability to influence various extraordinary individuals through dreams signifies that the Dream Spirit World has been 'transformed,' consequently restricting the first three layers of the Spirit World and making contact with Spirit World extremely difficult.

'Actually, this is in my best interest. I don't want to see Spirit World professionals among the extraordinary... Although this career path has been hidden, I always feel it won't be so smooth...'

After all, this is about planning a world!

If Bai Jing hadn't given up his Mythical Body, his 'smuggled' identity wouldn't have been so easy to obtain.

Even so, it will still face backlash and resistance from the world.

'Although my true form is now difficult to access, and those professionals can only dream of me and gain certain knowledge during initiation and advancement... before I fully integrated into this world, I seem to have been observed by space satellites. At that time, I possessed the mysterious runes of a [Spirit Mage].'

'Although, given the characteristics of Mythical Body, ordinary people would surely go mad upon seeing it, unable to describe it, and unable to preserve it, but if it were a backlash from the world...'

Sulu was unaware that his guess was already very close to reality.

The backlash from this world ensured that his 'photos' were preserved, though only a few were taken, but they were enough to impact the 'new system'.

This is part of the difficulty of the 'ritual'—the world's instinctive resistance!

Just as he was slightly lost in thought, a stylish woman walked in; it was Li Weiwei.

'Huh?'

Sulu looked up at this 'regular customer': 'After being reopened for so long, you've finally got a fish.'

The number of people "inspired" during the first Spirit Tide was minuscule compared to the total world population.

However, this restaurant was not particularly popular.

Only now has Sulu met a truly native 'superhuman'!

In that instant, Li Weiwei seemed to sense something and looked over, her eyes meeting Sulu's.

She doesn't seem to have changed much from before; if I had to say something, it's her demeanor! Her demeanor has become somewhat different.

'It seems she inherited a spellcasting tradition, and is currently focusing on enhancing her perception.'

Sulu was confident.

The two paths he designed left a lot of 'margin,' meaning that there was a high degree of freedom to develop them.

It seems that in the realm of physics, hunters are just one path, while ancient weapons can also lead to the same destination.

Once these professionals have formed their own first-tier professions and reached their peak, they can sense the Ancient God and obtain second-tier information through methods such as 'sacrifice' and 'summoning'.

"They thought the occult knowledge was given by my true form, but in reality, my true form only provided the first-order 'seed' and general direction. At the second order, they first 'uploaded' their first-order information, which my true form received, then 'derived' and 'deduced,' giving them the second-order professions... essentially acting as a public information collector and deducer... this is also a transformation of the world... However, if I ultimately succeed and reclaim what belongs to me, that will be harvesting the Wisdom of everyone in the world, as well as their insights and deductions about their career paths—this is the supreme nourishment for becoming a god!"

"Hello, what would you like to order?"

Sulu asked with a smile.

He felt a little regretful, thinking that in order to fully utilize his skills, perhaps a row of seats should have been set up around the kitchen counter to facilitate conversation between the chef and customers.

Fortunately, there weren't many customers, so once I finished my work, I could go and chat with them.

"One serving of Wensi Tofu, please."

Li Weiwei relaxed slightly and found a seat.

Her hands were placed in front of her, her body slightly tense, in a defensive posture... Did this indicate that she was anxious, uneasy about being an 'outsider'?

Sulu carried the dishes to her and sat down, saying, "Please enjoy your Wensi Tofu."

"Thanks."

Li Weiwei picked up the soup spoon and looked at Sulu in surprise. "Boss... aren't you working?"

"After everything is done, chatting with the customers is also one of the services offered in my shop."

Sulu smiled and replied, "I've made some improvements to the recipe and would like to hear the guests' feedback."

"Oh."

Li Weiwei looked at Sulu's face and thought the boss's eyes were really beautiful. She relaxed a little and scooped up a mouthful of tofu. "Mmm... it tastes even better now."

She seemed to be taking small bites, but she quickly finished the tofu, letting out a satisfied sigh, "The food here... it makes me feel very relaxed and comfortable..."
