Chen Ze scratched his head, still unable to figure out why this was happening since it was all new to him, and he lacked the relevant experints.
"I might as well give a Gold Coin to the custor next ti and see if that generates any signal," Chen Ze stretched lazily, closed the restaurant’s door, and squeezed through the smaller side door.
"I’m beginning to think I’m becoming a familiar face to those shop owners." Chen Ze looked at his notebook, feeling a bit bald-headed. He had restocked supplies many tis within just a few days of opening.
If it weren’t for the inco from selling roasted at before, Chen Ze felt he would have been close to bankruptcy, which is why he agreed to sell barbecue at the school celebration this ti.
"Speaking of which, how much should I charge for the barbecue tomorrow..." Chen Ze rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
The cost of a grilled tentacle was almost negligible, especially after Chen Ze had calculated the expenses for ingredients, labor, electricity, and other miscellaneous costs, spread out over three large buckets full of tentacles—it really wasn’t much.
So Chen Ze felt uneasy about setting the price too high, but if he set it too low, he worried about not having enough money to buy the things he wanted later.
"Well, let’s just stick to 10 yuan per skewer, after all, once they’ve tried it, there won’t be any doubts," Chen Ze had full confidence in his own skewers.
Especially after adding Moonlight Mushrooms to the skewers, Chen Ze’s confidence had inflated trendously.
Chen Ze was confident that anyone who tried his skewers would feel their money was well spent.
But Chen Ze soon beca troubled again, rembering that so people are allergic to fungi. What if soone had an allergy?
"Never mind, I’ll just set up a sign tomorrow warning those allergic to fungi not to eat it," Chen Ze shook his head as he approached the entrance to the market.
Chen Ze couldn’t recall how much he had bought, only that it took him an hour to move all the goods into his restaurant after they were delivered to his doorstep.
Then he was in bed, falling asleep almost imdiately.
The next morning, Chen Ze was woken up by the ringing of his cellphone, "Brother, get up quickly, rember to co to our school for the celebration later."
Chen Xingchen’s voice was as pleasant as ever, but it only irritated soone who was rudely awakened from sleep.
"Little sister... do you know what ti it is..." Chen Ze picked up his phone and took a look, rather speechless.
"It’s 5:30 in the morning, I know, we have to get up for morning exercises now." Chen Ze annoyed, ruffled his own hair, which reminded him of his own high school days.
"Sigh, when is the school celebration?" Chen Ze yawned and stretched his body under the blanket, feeling a strangely refreshing sensation.
"It starts precisely at 11 AM, but we need to enter two hours early for a security check and patrol," Chen Xingchen answered Chen Ze’s question promptly.
"..." Chen Ze had fleeting thoughts of severing sibling ties.
"I’ll be there on ti at 9 AM." Chen Ze hung up the call cleanly, then set an alarm for 8 AM before turning off his phone.
Disturbing soone’s weekend sleep-in was practically a cardinal sin, the kind that warranted being paraded through the streets for public shaming.
"So sleepy..." Chen Ze yawned, set his phone aside, and fell back to sleep.
Although he wanted to continue sleeping, Chen Ze knew that a promise made to soone had to be kept, especially if it was a promise to his little sister. So, at 8:45, Chen Ze hired a truck and took all his belongings to the city’s First Middle School.
"Brother, you have so much stuff?" As soon as Chen Ze entered the school, he saw his sister and a girl with twin ponytails.
Chen Ze guessed that she must be his sister’s friend, probably the little foodie who had once co to eat the Storm Barbecue.
"Answering the call, I ask you, are you the Storm Barbecue?" Before Chen Ze could even greet them, the twin-ponytailed girl beside Chen Xingchen abruptly asked.
"Uh?" Chen Ze blinked, suddenly worried about how his cool and aggressive muscle sister made friends—why did they seem so weird?
"Shi Han, stop ssing around," Chen Xingchen said, tugging at her friend’s clothes with a look of embarrassnt. She rembered that she had cautioned her just a mont ago.
"Who is Shi Han? Alfiniya, did you get your wires crossed while ti-traveling? I’m your most reliable comrade, your only partner..." The girl known as Shi Han looked at Chen Xingchen with utmost seriousness.
Chen Ze couldn’t detect any hint of jest in her eyes.
"Yes, yes, you are my most reliable comrade, Daughter of the Sun, Romanti," Chen Xingchen sowhat regretted why she had brought her friend along.
Only then did Shi Han turn her head away, satisfied, and with a serious face, she said to Chen Ze, "I’m telling you my real identity because you are Alfiniya’s brother. I hope you can keep it a secret."
Chen Ze looked at her face, thrilled with her own boasting, and then at the students around him who seed unfazed, and he roughly understood what the situation with this Daughter of the Sun was.
"Hmm... okay. Daughter of the Sun, Romanti, I’m Alfiniya’s brother, the guardian from the planet Azeros." Chen Ze made a bizarre hand gesture with a serious expression.
"You may call , the Last Guardian, i Diwu," Chen Ze said quietly, ensuring that only his sister and this delusional girl could hear him.
"Lord i Diwu, it’s a pleasure to et you," Shi Han tried hard to return a gesture, clearly putting a lot of thought into it, after all, Chen Ze wouldn’t have managed to twist his fingers like that.
Chen Xingchen sighed beside him, knowing all too well that her brother was simply indulging in his bad taste, trying to tease her friend.
She imdiately took out her phone and sent a ssage to Chen Ze.
"Bro, enough is enough, Shi Han will take it seriously."
Chen Ze checked his phone and looked surprised; he had thought this girl also belonged to the type who knew it didn’t exist but wanted to believe it did.
"Mr. i Diwu, do you want to..." The delusional girl hadn’t finished speaking when Chen Ze was called over by the security guard who needed him to taste his sauce to ensure safety.
Watching Chen Ze hurry away, the delusional girl turned excitedly to Chen Xingchen, "Alfiniya, did you also co from Azeros?"
Chen Xingchen looked at her friend without any expression, knowing that she had to go along with her now.
"Yes, but my brother and I are not the sa kind of people—he’s from the Horde, and I’m from the Alliance."
