The Sky-High Selection Single Appears, Chrysanthemum Douluo Petrifies on the Spot!

Lin Feng lay on his rocking chair inside the shop, drifting toward sleep; today's earnings had put him in an exceptionally good mood.

Thirty gourmet points might not be much, but at least he had made a start—a good omen.

If things continued at this rate, it wouldn't be long before he met the basic requirements to activate the System Mall!

Yes, that's right!

Lin Feng hadn't actually activated the System Mall yet. According to the system:

[The trash host is currently penniless (zero points), so even if I enabled the mall, you couldn't afford a single thing.]

[Therefore, this system has set a minimum requirement for enabling the mall: one hundred thousand points!]

[So, please work hard to earn points from those leeks!]

Just as Lin Feng was daydreaming about the rewards in the mall and nearing dreamland, he suddenly heard a commotion outside, along with the voices of the three little leeks from that afternoon.

"Spare the door!"

Hearing Yan's heart-wrenching roar, Lin Feng's eyelids twitched. What the hell was that racket?

The anxiety and terror in that voice sounded as if someone were about to demolish his shop.

This was followed by a cacophony of chaotic sounds—thuds, shouting, and Hu Liena's breathless attempts to dissuade someone.

"Chrysanthemum Grandpa... you... you really mustn't be impulsive..."

Chrysanthemum Grandpa?

Could it be that Chrysanthemum Douluo had arrived?

At this thought, Lin Feng bolted upright from his rocking chair, feeling delighted.

It seemed his performance that afternoon had been a success; these three little ones must have gone back, reported the matter, and brought someone to verify it.

Thinking of a Titled Douluo-level VIP about to walk through his door, Lin Feng nearly laughed out loud.

But then, a flicker of doubt crossed his mind. Judging by Hu Liena and the others' tone, it sounded like this Chrysanthemum Douluo was here to cause trouble?

Given Yan's cry of "spare the door" and Hu Liena's nervous dissuasion, it was highly likely this Chrysanthemum Douluo didn't believe the hype and had come to smash the place up.

However, Lin Feng quickly relaxed. After all, he was absolutely invincible inside his shop; no one could be his match.

What did a Titled Douluo matter? On his turf, even gods had to obediently queue up to order.

Still, as a "mysterious senior," he couldn't appear too eager.

He had to maintain his cold, aloof persona; after all, it affected the authority of his future pricing.

Imagine if a customer saw him rushing out to greet them like an excited bumpkin who had never seen the world—wouldn't his image completely collapse?

Lin Feng suppressed the urge to get up and take a look, continuing to lie on the rocking chair and feign sleep.

The noise outside gradually subsided; it seemed they were discussing something.

Outside the shop, Hu Liena and her companions were terrified, seeing that Chrysanthemum Douluo was genuinely angry.

Finally, Hu Liena gritted her teeth and gathered the courage to step forward. "Chrysanthemum Grandpa, please don't be in such a rush to act! Why don't... why don't you go inside and see the situation first?"

"If that senior is truly a fraud, it won't be too late to smash the shop then!"

She was panicking internally.

If Chrysanthemum Douluo really fought with that mysterious shopkeeper, regardless of who won or lost, they would never be able to eat in this shop again.

That was a magical place that could directly increase one's soul power!

Xie Yue quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes! You have to catch a thief in the act to prove the crime!"

Lying on the ground, Yan listened to this and struggled to prop himself up, his face still bearing the painful expression from the kick Chrysanthemum Douluo had given him.

"That's right, Elder Chrysanthemum, going in to take a look won't take much time!"

Hearing the three of them say this, Chrysanthemum Douluo felt it was a decent idea.

If he smashed the shop without a word, word would get out that he, Chrysanthemum Douluo, was a bully.

Moreover, Spirit Hall always valued having a justified reason; even if he were to teach a fraud a lesson, he had to catch him red-handed.

"Fine, then I shall go in and meet this so-called 'senior'."

Chrysanthemum Douluo straightened his lapels. "If he really is a fraud, see how I deal with him!"

With that, Chrysanthemum Douluo pushed the door open and entered.

His elegant posture appeared exceptionally enchanting even in the night, and his gaze, sharp as a hawk's, swept across every corner of the shop.

The rustic decor, the clean tables and chairs, the landscape painting on the wall... everything looked perfectly normal; it was just an ordinary little restaurant.

But when his gaze landed on the young man lying on the rocking chair behind the counter, he froze.

This... this was the mysterious, unfathomable senior Hu Liena had spoken of?

Chrysanthemum Douluo widened his eyes and carefully sensed the air.

There was no fluctuation of spirit power!

Not even a trace!

From this young man who looked to be in his early twenties, one could not sense the existence of any spirit power at all!

"This is impossible..." Chrysanthemum Douluo muttered to himself, finding it hard to believe his own senses.

According to what Hu Liena and the others had said, this young shopkeeper could suppress Yan's spirit avatar with pressure alone, a feat that should require at least a high-level Spirit Douluo.

Yet, this person before him...

Chrysanthemum Douluo turned his head to glance at Hu Liena and the two others following him, his eyes filled with skepticism.

Hu Liena read the look in his eyes and nodded, confirming that this was indeed the person.

At this moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo caught that exceptionally alluring fragrance again, identical to the one he had smelled on the street just a moment ago.

"So that's how it is."

Chrysanthemum Douluo suddenly realized, his orchid-fingered hand gently stroking his chin.

This fellow was likely a spirit-type user, just like Hu Liena.

Moreover, his strength was not weak, allowing him to perfectly conceal his spirit power fluctuations.

Thinking of this, Chrysanthemum Douluo sneered inwardly.

He certainly had a knack for playing tricks and putting on a show, but unfortunately for him, he had run into Chrysanthemum Douluo!

Of course, Chrysanthemum Douluo knew there was one other possibility.

That was if the other party's strength had reached the level of returning to simplicity, like the Great Elder of Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu, which would result in him being unable to sense any spirit power at all.

However, looking at the man who appeared to be only around twenty years old, Chrysanthemum Douluo immediately dismissed this possibility.

Noticing someone had entered the shop, Lin Feng, just as he had when Hu Liena and the others arrived, half-opened one eye and cast a glance at Chrysanthemum Douluo.

"The menu is on the table. Order whatever you want to eat."

After speaking, he closed his eyes again and continued his nap, showing no special reaction whatsoever to the fact that the newcomer was a Titled Douluo.

The only slight imperfection was the faint, upturned corner of Lin Feng's mouth...

Seeing Lin Feng's nonchalant demeanor, Chrysanthemum Douluo was almost angered to the point of laughter.

Ignoring Hu Liena and the others who were frantically signaling him with their eyes, he mocked, "You certainly know how to put on an act. I'd like to see how long you can keep this up!"

As he spoke, Chrysanthemum Douluo walked straight to the table and grabbed the menu.

However, the very next second, his entire body froze.

He saw that on the previously blank menu, golden characters were slowly emerging:
