"Huh? Boss Little Bai, you're actually setting up a stall here today? No wonder Yuhao and I didn't see you when we went to the cafeteria just now."

Not long after Jiang Nannan had finished setting up the little stall, Huo Yuhao was dragged over to it by Wang Dong. Behind them trailed Xiao Xiao, her lips stuck out high from being ignored.

After drinking Raw Coconut Latte for nearly two months straight, Wang Dong had already become a loyal Luckin Coffee customer.

If she did not have a cup every day, her mouth always felt strangely empty, as if something was missing.

"It's Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao. Isn't the Freshman Competition this year? Why aren't you inside competing? Is it over already?"

Bai Ran did not have much interest in the early stages of the Freshman Competition.

After all, in the first few days, the freshman teams competing were either getting one-sidedly crushed or pecking at each other like rookies. There were very few truly exciting, evenly matched contests.

So Bai Ran's plan was to sell coffee for the first few days, then go watch in person once the competition reached matches like the top thirty-two.

"Today is the first day of the Freshman Competition. This morning was just for us to get familiar with the venue. The first match only starts this afternoon."

Wang Dong explained unhurriedly.

"Sister Nannan, why are you here?"

Unlike Wang Dong, Huo Yuhao's attention was focused more on Jiang Nannan beside them.

When he saw Jiang Nannan arranging the items, the look Huo Yuhao gave Bai Ran grew a little more complicated.

To be able to make Jiang Nannan, the number one beauty of the outer courtyard, willingly work for him, Boss Little Bai was even more capable than he had imagined.

"Mm, you must be Yuhao, the one Xiao Ya is always talking about."

Because of Tang Ya, Jiang Nannan still had some impression of Huo Yuhao.

And Huo Yuhao's grilled fish tasted pretty good, so he had a bit of a reputation in the outer courtyard.

Of course, after tasting the staff meals made by Master Ye, Jiang Nannan finally understood just how wide the gap was between someone professionally trained and someone self-taught.

"Wang Dong, Yuhao, why did you two run so fast? Did you see something tasty?"

Behind them, a petite girl came running over, panting. She looked rather displeased that those two had left her behind on her own.

"Not tasty. Delicious to drink."

The corners of Wang Dong's mouth lifted slightly. She suddenly wanted to know what kind of little expression Xiao Xiao would make after drinking a bitter Iced Americano.

The last time Wang Dong took a sip of the Iced Americano Huo Yuhao had bought for himself, she had nearly died on the spot.

"Delicious to drink?"

Xiao Xiao began sizing up the stall in front of her.

Luckin Coffee. Something she had never heard of before.

Could it be a specialty from the hometown of some senior brother or senior sister in the outer courtyard?

"If Student Wang Dong thinks it's good, then it must be good. I wonder if Student Wang Dong has any recommendations?"

At this time, Xiao Xiao still rather liked Wang Dong. To be precise, there were not many girls in the whole Freshman Class One who did not like Student Wang Dong.

Did they understand the value of Shrek Academy's number one succubus of the outer courtyard? She slayed both men and women.

Originally, dressing as a boy was because she was worried about boys thinking about her. In the end, she had never expected girls to be even crazier and scarier than boys.

Wang Dong: W-who stuffed a love letter into my desk?

"I recommend you drink Luckin Iced Americano."

Wang Dong pointed at one of the coffees on the menu as she spoke.

This was a signature product of Luckin Coffee, an absolute must-try. Dogs would not drink it.

"Wait, Boss Little Bai, why has your menu been updated?"

Compared with the thin menu from before, the current menu had two new coffees added: "Luckin Fleshy Peach Coffee" and "Luckin Pomelo C Americano."

And besides the basic cup for 9.9 Gold Soul Coins, there were now also large cups for 19.9 Gold Soul Coins and extra-large cups for 29.9.

"Because I recently obtained a batch of pretty good fruit. Of course, both of these new products are limited. At most, three cups can be made each day."

There was indeed plenty of coffee, but those two plant-type soul beasts could probably only produce one or two premium large fruits each day.

"Then give me a cup of Luckin Fleshy Peach Coffee."

Wang Dong planned to try something new.

Luckin Raw Coconut Latte was good, yes, but if she drank the same product every day, there would always come a day when she got tired of it. There was nothing wrong with trying something fresh; she could treat it as a change of taste.

As for why she did not choose "Luckin Pomelo C Americano," it was probably because that coffee had the word "Americano" in it.

"Wang Dong, haven't you had an upset stomach lately? And you're still drinking something iced?"

"None of your business, Yuhao. As long as I'm happy."

Pain was only temporary, but comfort was for a lifetime. Wang Dong was determined to let her body see who the real master was.

"Senior sister, did you make these cookies? How much are they?"

Just as Bai Ran reached into his storage pouch to take out a Jasper Creamy Peach, on the other side, Xiao Xiao also noticed the boxes of Butter Cookie that Jiang Nannan had just set out on the stall.

Girls naturally had a particular weakness for things like sweet pastries.

And these cookies looked excellent at a glance, so their taste probably wouldn't be bad either.

"I didn't make these cookies. I'm only helping someone else sell them."

Jiang Nannan made it clear that she did not have skills that good.

"As for the price, five Gold Soul Coins each."

A box of Butter Cookie had twenty-four pieces in total, and the inner court cafeteria sold a single box for around one hundred Gold Soul Coins.

If they were sold separately, it was only normal for them to be a little more expensive.

Besides, snacks from the inner court cafeteria were usually in short supply. Some inner court disciples might not even be able to snatch a box even if they offered three hundred Gold Soul Coins.

"Five Gold Soul Coins each! Senior, are these cookies made of gold or silver?"

"They're made by a master chef from the inner court cafeteria, so the cost is rather high."

With them being so expensive, Xiao Xiao was too embarrassed to even ask, "Can I try one first?"

Compared to the prices of other sweet pastries, five Gold Soul Coins was definitely far too expensive, but five Gold Soul Coins was still within Xiao Xiao's acceptable spending range.

And when faced with cookies being sold at such a high price, who could really hold back their curiosity and not buy one to try?

In any case, Xiao Xiao couldn't hold back.

"Senior, I'll have one."

Xiao Xiao took out five Gold Soul Coins, preparing to buy one and satisfy her inner curiosity.

Xiao Xiao: A cookie that costs five Gold Soul Coins each? I'd like to see what's going on here.

"Junior, your Butter Cookie."

With her work experience from the inner court cafeteria, Jiang Nannan skillfully wrapped a Butter Cookie in oil paper and handed it to the customer.

As for these Gold Soul Coins, Jiang Nannan stored them separately.

Uncle Ye had already taken very good care of her. No matter what, she couldn't accept this money.

If there really was no other way, she would secretly stuff it into little brother Bai Ran's pocket.

Bai Ran: Where did these few hundred Gold Soul Coins come from? Could they be pocket money from my uncle? (He wasn't that stingy.)

"Boss Little Bai, give me a Luckin Iced Americano."

Unlike Wang Dong, Huo Yuhao was someone who cherished old favorites.

Besides, every time he finished drinking an iced Americano, it brought him an increase in spiritual power.

Only, after drinking this iced Americano today, Huo Yuhao felt that he could change flavors from now on.

After all, after completely absorbing the medicinal effects of two Mysterious Water Pills, Huo Yuhao's soul power rank had now reached rank seventeen. He did not think Boss Little Bai in front of him could have raised his soul power past rank seventeen in just over two months.

It had to be known that the cultivation speed of food-type soul masters was publicly acknowledged in the soul master world as slow.
