Century-Old Duck Leg, Jiang Nannan is a Stat Monster

Inside the outer court cafeteria of Shrek Academy.

Bai Ran's Luckin Coffee stall still had no business.

In truth, business should have been able to improve.

Unlike at noon, there were no classes at the academy in the evening, so the outer court disciples lingered in the cafeteria a little longer.

When they saw something novel, it was inevitable that they would choose to give it a try.

Unfortunately, of all things, the first second-year outer court disciple to take the plunge ordered a cup of Luckin Iced Americano.

After tasting that bitter, astringent coffee flavor with a faint hint of sourness, that student spat it out on the spot and said bluntly, "It tastes even worse than that dorm supervisor old man's foot-washing water."

And so, Bai Ran was completely left idle.

He even had time to take his meal card and run over to a nearby window to get himself a duck leg rice.

Bai Ran: "No, auntie, how come this duck leg rice with a hundred-year duck leg added only costs me ten Copper Soul Coins? Won't the cafeteria lose money?"

Cafeteria auntie: "Child, is there a possibility that this 'hundred years' refers to how long it's been stored, not the age of the soul beast?"

Bai Ran: "Six six six, I opened the hidden edition. When this duck died, Tang San hadn't become a god yet, right?" (Not that fresh.)

Just as Bai Ran was eating his duck leg rice and wondering whether he should get off work early tonight...

Two figures suddenly appeared in front of Bai Ran.

"Little brother Bai Ran~"

"It's Sister Xiaoya."

"Big sister came to support your business again, and I even brought you a new customer."

As Tang Ya spoke, she pointed at Jiang Nannan beside her.

"Yo, how should I address this sister?"

From the other party's chilly demeanor, plus the fact that she was so close to Tang Ya, Bai Ran guessed that she was most likely Jiang Nannan, but what if she wasn't?

Getting someone's identity wrong would make quite a few jokes.

"Jiang Nannan."

Perhaps because the child, Bai Ran, was still young, or perhaps because she thought of the delicious drink she had had that afternoon coming from the hands of the little boss before her...

Jiang Nannan's attitude was not too cold.

"What would you two like to drink?"

If they were old customers who had drunk several hundred cups of coffee, Bai Ran would have already served the finished coffee without them needing to speak.

But right now, well, they were still far from that situation.

"Two cups of Luckin Raw Coconut Latte."

Tang Ya, knowing that Jiang Nannan was short on money, chose to pay proactively.

Tang Ya: "No matter what, I still have Beibei standing behind me, while Nannan, sigh~" (Helpless sigh.)

Of course, Tang Ya also had a strong personality. For things like avenging her parents, she still hoped to accomplish them through her own strength. If Beibei used the power of his family elders to help her, Tang Ya would probably fall out with Beibei without the slightest hesitation.

"Xiaoya, isn't there another type of coffee here?"

While checking the coffee prices, Jiang Nannan also noticed that besides selling raw coconut latte, this coffee shop also had another classic iced Americano.

Iced meant there was a lot of ice inside, and as for Americano, well, it should mean it made the customer drink beautifully, right?

Douluo Continent had no America, so understanding it this way really was not much of a problem.

However, guesses were often very different from reality.

For someone trying an iced Americano for the first time, instead of drinking beautifully, there was a high chance they would drink themselves into oblivion.

"Nannan, I suggest you keep drinking the raw coconut latte."

Although Tang Ya had never drunk the other classic iced Americano, she had seen Huo Yuhao drink it at noon.

Even a child like Xiao Yuhao, who had grown up eating bitterness, had almost been unable to swallow it. One could imagine just how powerful this classic iced Americano was.

Tang Ya said she was not some kind of masochist. Why leave the tasty one untouched and insist on drinking something hard to swallow?

"Then I really do want to taste what this other classic iced Americano is like."

If Tang Ya had not said anything, it would have been fine, but once she did, it instead stirred Jiang Nannan's interest.

"Are you sure? One raw coconut latte and one iced Americano?"

Before heading to the back kitchen to "make" the coffee, Bai Ran confirmed it again.

"Sure."

Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan spoke at the same time.

"All right, please wait a moment, you two."

While Bai Ran went to the back kitchen to make the coffee.

Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan, the two best friends, stared at each other.

"Xiao Ya, why is the owner of this shop so young?"

Even for a work-study job, a student had to be at least in the third year, and in terms of age, they were generally fourteen or fifteen or older.

And if that child just now had said he was only five, Jiang Nannan would have believed him.

Jiang Nannan: Since when did Shrek Academy allow child labor?

"Little Bai Ran is very young, yeah. He only awakened his martial soul not long ago."

Tang Ya: If I'm not remembering wrong, little Bai Ran should only be six this year.

"That doesn't sound right. How is someone his age working in the academy cafeteria?"

She had originally thought he was a tender young junior doing work-study, but then she suddenly realized something seemed off.

"Who said he was here to work? Nannan, this stall was opened by him."

"Huh?"

"Mm. Simply put, that child is the junior of some big shot in the inner courtyard. You could count him as a second-generation type."

"This child's elder is an inner courtyard elder?"

Jiang Nannan thought it over carefully and realized that did not make sense.

As the junior of an inner courtyard elder, shouldn't he be obediently cultivating and building a solid foundation? Why had he come to the outer courtyard cafeteria to sell coffee?

Could it be that he had no talent for cultivation, so he planned to run a small business to support himself?

"Not that."

"Then is it an elder of Sea God Pavilion?"

"Even more impossible."

"Then what exactly..."

"Your coffee."

Just as Tang Ya was about to say what she knew, Bai Ran came out carrying two cups of coffee and pushed the coffee each of them had ordered in front of them.

"Xiao Ya, hurry up and say it!"

Jiang Nannan got anxious.

Girls were already extremely fond of gossip, and now that she had heard half of it only for the other party to stop talking, how was that any different from stopping halfway through taking a dump?

"The person himself is back. Nannan, ask him yourself."

Seeing that the Raw Coconut Latte had arrived, Tang Ya, whose throat felt a little itchy, chose to take a couple of sips first to scratch the itch.

"Hajiya, you jerk."

Looking at the little boy in front of her whom she was not familiar with, Jiang Nannan decided to forget it.

She simply picked up that cup of Luckin Iced Americano, preparing to taste how it was.

The Luckin Raw Coconut Latte already tasted so wonderful. Even if the Luckin Iced Americano that appeared on the menu alongside it could not match its flavor, it should not be too far off.

Unlike Tang Ya, who picked up the coffee cup directly with her hand.

Jiang Nannan pressed the coffee cup directly against her chest, using her heaven-defying stats to free both hands completely.

This scene left little Bai Ran staring in a daze.

Bai Ran: Uh, this is way too inappropriate for children.

Tang Ya: So what if they're big? I can do it too. (She squeezed them together, but the cup still met no resistance and fell. If she had not reacted quickly, the coffee would almost have spilled all over the floor.)
