Three Small Fry Leeks, Just Give Them Some Trash and Send Them Away

Yan was helped up from the ground by Xie Yue. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with fear and resentment.

He had never suffered such humiliation in his life, but faced with an absolute gap in strength, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and endure it.

"We... we'll have three bowls of clear broth noodles."

After helping Yan back to his original seat, Xie Yue placed the order, stuttering.

Although the price was outrageous, he had no choice but to accept his fate; in the face of his own life, money was no longer important.

"Please wait a moment."

Lin Feng finally rose from his recliner. His movements remained unhurried as he tied on an apron, donned a chef's hat, and walked into the kitchen.

At this moment, although Lin Feng appeared expressionless on the surface, he was screaming with excitement on the inside!

Hahaha, the Golden Generation is finally here! These are customers who can reach the level of Titled Douluo!

It was worth it to deliberately release that aroma to lure them in. This is a sure win!

Lin Feng was a transmigrator from Blue Star who had arrived on the Douluo Continent, equipped with a cheat called the "Heavens Gourmet System" and a restaurant named "Maple Dye Pavilion."

Inside the restaurant, Lin Feng was the absolute king; even if a god descended, they would have to obediently follow his rules.

More importantly, the revenue earned from selling gourmet food could be converted into Gourmet Points at a 10:1 ratio, which could be used to purchase various rewards from across the heavens and myriad worlds.

From Douluo specialties like immortal herbs and spirit bones to exotic treasures like otherworldly flames and the Sharingan—he could even get an Ultraman transformation device!

For Lin Feng, who had been a professional chef in his past life, cooking was naturally a breeze.

He had originally thought he could use this to reach the pinnacle of life, holding Qian Renxue in one arm and Bibi Dong in the other, while casually stepping on the Tang God King.

But reality had given him a resounding slap in the face.

It was all because of this damn pricing!

One hundred gold spirit coins for a bowl of clear broth noodles—even the wealthiest spirit masters would think it was a robbery upon seeing the menu.

As a result, for an entire week, Lin Feng's restaurant hadn't had a single customer.

Every day, he would just lie on his rocking chair, dazed, occasionally releasing some aroma to try and lure customers in. But they would follow the scent, see the price, and turn right around.

Watching the tempting rewards in the system store, Lin Feng could only sigh in frustration.

No customers meant no Gourmet Points, and no Gourmet Points meant he couldn't exchange for anything. This was practically forcing a transmigrator like him to his death!

Fortunately, he had finally caught Hu Liena and her two companions today.

The Spirit Hall Golden Generation had a solid background and strong strength, and most importantly, they shouldn't be short on money!

He believed that starting from today, the reputation of his restaurant would spread throughout Spirit Hall.

Thinking of this, the corners of Lin Feng's mouth couldn't help but curl upward.

When Bibi Dong and the other Titled Douluos visited in person, those would be the real big spenders!

At the thought of this, Lin Feng was full of motivation!

He entered the kitchen, which was filled with modern appliances, and skillfully lit the stove to boil the noodles.

At the same time, he chopped green onions and cilantro into three bowls, adding salt, chicken essence, light soy sauce, dried shrimp, and the final key ingredient: a spoonful of lard!

This was the secret to delicious clear broth noodles!

Finally, he placed the cooked noodles into the three bowls. Three bowls of clear broth noodles, done!

Within just a few minutes, Lin Feng walked out carrying the three bowls.

They looked like ordinary clear broth noodles; the noodles were crystal clear, the broth was transparent, and a layer of golden oil floated on top, sprinkled with a handful of cilantro and dried shrimp.

But the aroma...

The three of them swallowed their saliva almost simultaneously.

The fragrance was so overbearing that it conquered their sense of smell instantly, making them want to taste it immediately. Even the fear from earlier retreated somewhat in the face of this scent.

"Enjoy your meal," Lin Feng said indifferently before returning to his recliner.

Hu Liena carefully picked up a chopstick full of noodles and slurped them into her mouth.

In an instant!

An unprecedented deliciousness exploded in her mouth!

It wasn't just a treat for the taste buds; it was a sublimation of the soul!

The noodles were chewy and firm, the clear broth was incredibly fresh, and every bite brought an incomparable sense of satisfaction, as if her very soul had been elevated.

Yan and Xie Yue wore the same expressions; the three of them buried their heads and devoured the food, too busy to even speak.

Whatever fear or pressure they had felt was dispelled by this delicacy.

"So... so delicious..."

In just a few minutes, the three bowls of noodles were wiped clean.

Yan even licked the bottom of the bowl, not wanting to waste a single drop of the broth.

"That was amazing!" Hu Liena leaned back in her chair, a look of bliss on her face. "I never imagined a bowl of clear broth noodles could be this delicious!"

Yan and Xie Yue nodded in agreement, their faces filled with expressions of satisfaction.

"That will be three hundred gold soul coins in total. Thank you for your patronage."

At this moment, Lin Feng's voice drifted over from behind the counter.

The satisfaction on the trio's faces froze instantly, replaced by looks of genuine heartache.

The noodles were delicious, certainly, but they were also truly expensive!

Although as the Golden Generation they were not short on money, this was still an exorbitant way to spend it.

Three hundred gold soul coins! That was enough to feast at a grand restaurant for several days!

"I shouldn't have come in," Yan muttered under his breath, though his tone carried a hint of reluctance.

He claimed to regret it, but if he had to choose again, he would likely still walk through those doors.

Xie Yue walked helplessly to the counter, took three small cloth pouches from his soul tool, and placed them in front of Lin Feng.

Only then did he turn around, ready to flee this place they both loved and hated alongside the other two.

"Don't go."

As soon as these two words were spoken, the trio's footsteps stiffened instantly. Yan's hand was already on the door handle, and he stood as if frozen by a binding spell.

Hu Liena turned around, forcing a smile that looked worse than a cry: "Senior, do you have any other instructions?"

Yet, in her heart, she was frantically complaining: Don't tell me he thinks we spent too little? Three hundred gold soul coins isn't enough? Does he have to be this much of a crook!

However, Lin Feng's next sentence put the three of them at ease.

They saw Lin Feng lazily raise his hand, his voice carrying an indescribable languor: "I'll give you a lucky draw."

"A lucky draw?" The three turned their heads in unison, a flicker of curiosity and anticipation flashing in their eyes.

Could this black-hearted boss actually have a conscience and be preparing to give them some compensation?

The corners of Lin Feng's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a mysterious smile.

He slowly sat up from his rocking chair and looked at the system panel.

[Consumption: 100 (Average consumption).]
[System Evaluation: Stingy little minnows, just toss them some trash rewards to send them on their way!]
[Random Reward: Slight increase in soul power *3]
[Host Reward: Gourmet Points 30]

Seeing the system's evaluation and rewards, Lin Feng's expression stiffened for a moment.

Why did he feel like this system was even more snobbish than he was? Even a mosquito's leg is still meat!

Seeing Hu Liena and the others still staring at him with eager eyes, Lin Feng coughed dryly and said calmly: "Your luck is poor. Consolation prize: a slight increase in soul power."

As soon as he finished speaking, three golden specks of light flew from Lin Feng's fingertips, sinking into the bodies of the three.

Hu Liena felt a gentle, warm current rise from her dantian, nourishing her meridians like a spring breeze.

She widened her eyes, feeling in disbelief as the soul power within her surged at an astonishing speed.

Almost in the blink of an eye, she rose from level thirty-nine to level forty.

"I... I broke through?" Hu Liena's voice trembled. She looked down at her hands, feeling the surging soul power within her, and felt completely dizzy.

Xie Yue and Yan were equally shocked.

Although they hadn't broken through directly like Hu Liena, the soul power within them had also increased significantly.

The amount of soul power that would normally require months of bitter cultivation to accumulate had been reached in an instant.

Finally, having regained her senses, Hu Liena swallowed hard and asked with a trembling voice: "Might I ask, Senior, who are you..."
