"That works. Consider it me looking after your little business."

"But I didn't come just to thank you properly this time. There are also a few things I'd like to ask your help with."

As Princess Vina spoke, she placed a bag filled with Gold Soul Coins on the table.

Su Mu's eyes immediately lit up.

A bag that size could hold at least a thousand Gold Soul Coins, and this one was packed to the brim.

"Easy, easy! As a subject, it is my duty to share the nation's burdens."

As Su Mu spoke, he calmly tucked the bag of Gold Soul Coins before him into his clothes.

"Since that's the case, wait a moment."

"I'll make some food for everyone first. We can talk while we eat."

To avoid any accidents, Su Mu had Elysia and Cyrene, the two level-ninety Titled Douluo, keep watch in the shadows for any Titled Douluo-level experts stationed nearby.

Meanwhile, he summoned Remiel.

Her distinctive Yuxi physiology was very similar to the altered human races produced by Martial Soul awakenings, immediately drawing Princess Vina's attention.

"Around eighteen years old, with thirty levels of Soul Power. Even in the Heaven Dou Empire, she's one of the few young talents."

"Boss, where did you find her?"

While answering, Su Mu had the fryer and oven running at full blast on the other side, working himself to the bone.

At that moment, Su Mu had only one thing on his mind: laundering all one thousand Gold Soul Coins into coins the system could use.

After all, money gifted to him did not count as earnings from food purchases. He had to provide food of equivalent value.

How great would it be if he could price one serving of fried chicken at a hundred Gold Soul Coins?

Su Mu pondered this, but his hands never stopped moving.

All items sold through the system had to be priced within a reasonable and compliant range.

That range had to take into account the current state of the stall, the spending level of the city, and the basic wage level.

For now, he could only rush out food, aiming for products that were quick to make, high-priced, and easy to prepare.

"Him? I'm not really sure either. He seems to be a child from another city."

"I met her when I first came to Heaven Dou City."

As Su Mu spoke, Remiel began carrying dish after dish to the tables where the soldiers sat.

Looking at the tempting fried chicken burgers on the tables, the soldiers removed their helmets one by one, yet none dared to eat immediately.

Seeing this, Princess Vina had no choice but to wave her hand. "Eat as much as you want today. It's on me."

Only after their princess spoke did the guards move, reaching for the fried chicken burgers on the tables.

Before long, the food on the tables shattered the previously solemn atmosphere.

"Damn, little brother, this tastes amazing! You'll definitely make money selling this!"

One burly man wolfed down his food, even crunching up the crispy chicken bones.

Seeing how quickly they were eating, Su Mu's hands moved even faster.

Practice Makes Perfect played a crucial role at this moment.

He grew faster and faster at making fried chicken. As long as the oil temperature was right, he could even make more fried chicken within the standard cooking time.

Before long, quite a crowd had gathered around the stall.

"Damn, didn't this little stall only set up here yesterday?"

"And there are already so many people here today?"

"They've eaten so many bones that the trash cans are nearly overflowing."

"They're eating so enthusiastically that I'm getting hungry just watching. What should I do? I want some too."

"Don't go over there. That's the Royal Guards, and they've taken up every table. Wouldn't you just be causing trouble?"

Su Mu looked at the hungry customers around him.

They were practically natural mukbang streamers.

Ordinary people might not eat as vigorously as these soldiers.

These soldiers likely trained every day, so they had greater appetites and more pressing demands when it came to food.

To them, food as high in calories and as delicious as his might already be the finest delicacy in the world.

To put it jokingly, a Wallace combo had the Douluo natives eating themselves silly.

At that moment, Princess Vina looked at the fried chicken placed on her table, while the two deputy generals beside her merely chewed their burgers slowly.

Though they were eating quickly, she could still tell that the two generals were holding themselves back considerably.

Seeing this, Princess Vina took the initiative and picked up the scissors beside the table.

She cut the whole crispy fried chicken in half and placed one portion on each deputy general's plate.

"General Wang, General Zheng, the two of you taste it for me."

As Princess Vina spoke, the two generals looked at the fried chicken on their plates. In the end, they reached out, tearing off the glistening, oily drumsticks.

Tender white chicken was wrapped in a golden, crispy coating, making it look utterly irresistible.

With one bite, piping-hot juices mingled with the crunchy fried coating, and the fragrance spread through their mouths, making it impossible to stop.

But before long, the generals were already full.

Su Mu counted the figures displayed on the system panel.

In nearly three hours, one hundred people had only eaten a little over six hundred Gold Soul Coins' worth.

There were still four hundred coins he had not earned. What a pity.

With that thought, Su Mu finally sat down at Princess Vina's table.

The small square table fit four people perfectly.

Looking at the neatly arranged fried chicken bones and the boxes from various meal sets on the table, Su Mu nodded in satisfaction.

It seemed his food was quite popular among these soldiers.

"I wonder what Princess Vina came to see me about this time?"

"If it's something I can help with, I definitely will."

As Su Mu spoke, he patted his chest.

After all, she had brought him a big deal that had earned him six hundred Gold Soul Coins in three hours.

Normally, that equaled two days of revenue for him. If he kept working today, he could earn even more.

Perhaps he would soon gather enough Gold Soul Coins for the next Golden Hextech Five Choose Three.

Looking at the soldiers around her, their bellies round with food, Princess Vina smiled. "It seems your food is quite popular in the army."

"I came this time mainly to ask about the bandaging techniques and medical treatment methods you used to save me last time."

"At the time, I realized that such abilities could bring enormous reform to treating the wounded in the military."

"The army will no longer have to rely solely on healing-type Soul Masters to establish its logistics."

As Princess Vina spoke, she continued explaining the current state of the nation's military logistics.

Within the Heaven Dou Empire's army, healing-type Soul Engineers urgently needed for logistics were extremely scarce.

Most injuries were treated with expensive pills and medicine for the wounded.

However, knowledge related to bandaging techniques and instrument-based treatment methods was severely lacking.

The bandaging methods and theoretical knowledge Su Mu had displayed that day were extremely solid. Having personally experienced them, Princess Vina immediately recognized the importance of such abilities.

If most military doctors or ordinary soldiers in the army could master these immediate and efficient treatment and bandaging methods,

would that not mean the Heaven Dou Empire's army would suffer far fewer casualties on the battlefield?

It would also reduce the Soul Power consumption of healing Soul Masters on the battlefield, allowing them to save more people.

They would no longer face a situation where an injury so often meant amputation or death from infection.

"Therefore, I would like to invite you to serve as the chief physician in my army and teach this basic knowledge to the military doctors responsible for logistics."

"Of course, there are benefits as well."

"You're young. I can recommend you to join our Heaven Soul Royal Soul Engineer AcademyZheng Tian Academy."
