Fang Yu walked into the corner next to the main road.

The straight road is lined with shops of all shapes and sizes, and people come and go in a constant stream.

Scarlet Mary was located in the middle section. Fang Yu could see from afar that Little Red Riding Hood was looking down at her phone, seemingly having been waiting for some time.

As they approached, enveloped in shadow, Little Red Riding Hood belatedly looked up. When she saw who it was, a smile curved her lips beneath her hood. She then tugged at Fang Yu's sleeve and walked into a side alley.

"Come on, I'll take you to a restaurant where a magical chef makes delicious food. I guarantee you'll eat until your mouth is watering."

"it is good."

Fang Yu was amused by this little gesture, nodded with a smile, and followed.

"That guy's shop is in a remote location, so there aren't many customers, making it relatively quiet, which suits your requirements perfectly, and also..."

As Little Red Riding Hood led the way, she spoke eloquently, according to the pre-arranged requirements.

Judging from her somewhat cheerful steps, she seemed very happy, not seeing it as a job, but rather as a pleasant outing with friends to enjoy delicious food.

Fang Yu always felt that this little guy was different from those employees who dressed up specially. He seemed to be naturally small, only reaching Fang Yu's waist.

In addition, the red cloak and hood seemed to have the effect of concealing her face. Even when she looked up, only the lower half of her face could be seen, while the upper half of her face was only a dark shadow, no matter what angle she was looking at.

Along the way, the two of them made many twists and turns, and there were fewer and fewer people on the road. When they finally came down to just a few people, he would have believed them if they said they had reached the edge of the pot lid.

Fang Yu was a little puzzled. Could it be that all skilled chefs prefer to keep their achievements hidden? Or do they simply dislike crowds?

He didn't compare it to the way people live in reality, mainly because the contractors in the paradise are constantly facing death.

Under such immense pressure, the two individuals' personalities become vastly different, and to put it bluntly, many are driven to the brink of insanity.

Employees also need to enter the derivative world; death is not far from them. Perhaps this chef simply wants to find a secluded place to relieve immense pressure.

Before long, the two arrived at their destination, each holding a glass of juice they had bought on the way.

"Look, this is the place we came across when we were just wandering around."

Little Red Riding Hood stopped in front of a restaurant, turned around, took a sip of juice, and gave a reminder.

Fang looked up at the restaurant's sign.

Summer

"Xia! We've brought guests."

Little Red Riding Hood pushed the door open first and called out.

Seeing this, Fang Yu followed closely behind, pushed open the door and entered. He glanced around the restaurant, which was small with only three tables and a guest who was engrossed in his meal.

The overall style is very warm and cozy, with warm colors that create a relaxing feeling.

"It seems it really is to avoid the noise."

Having made a general judgment in mind, Fang sat down at the table Little Red Riding Hood had chosen, took a sip of juice, and then glanced at the guests opposite him who were focused on eating.

This person appears ordinary and unassuming, but the aura he subtly exudes is quite different. It's the cold, icy temperament that comes from killing many people. He had encountered this quality in some bloodthirsty individuals before, so he could tell at a glance.

The man paused in his eating, seemingly because the gaze was too direct. He looked up and met Fang Yu's eyes, his gaze filled with confusion as he wondered why the other was staring at him.

"Sorry, please continue eating. You seem to be enjoying your meal quite a bit, so the chef here must be very skilled."

Fang Yu explained with a friendly expression.

He's not stupid. It's normal for people like him to be overly sensitive. There were only two tables of people in the whole restaurant, and the other person seemed to be enjoying their meal, so he lingered for a while.

"It's really good, I always eat here."

Upon hearing the explanation, the other person seemed to understand, first giving a positive assessment, and then continuing to eat.

After the little incident ended, Fang Yu took out his phone and dialed the number of the Black Sail Chamber of Commerce.

beep...beep...

Two seconds later, the call was connected.

"Hello, have you made your decision?"

The voice coming through the phone was still that cheerful female voice; she seemed to have become the dedicated line operator.

"I'm eating during the summer, so we can talk about the price while we eat, is that alright?"

"No problem, we have the location of this restaurant on our records, and we can get there within 10 minutes."

"I'll wait for you."

……

As soon as the phone call ended, Fang Yu saw the chef, who had been nowhere to be seen, come out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of noodles with soybean paste.

He looked at the magical cook named "Xia" with curiosity.

She had a great figure, and although not conventionally beautiful, her looks were pleasing to the eye. After placing the bowl of noodles with soybean paste on the table opposite her, she came to Fang Yu's table, apologetically handing over the menu:

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Xiaodong. Thank you for bringing the newcomers to support us."

Judging from their way of addressing each other, Xia and Little Red Riding Hood must be quite familiar with each other.

"Hey, why are we being so polite? Besides, this isn't a newcomer, he's a big shot."

Little Red Riding Hood quickly waved her hand, her tone slightly exaggerated.

"Don't listen to her nonsense. There's no such thing as a big shot who's experienced an entire world."

Fang Yu didn't have any big shot sentiments, so he wouldn't dare let her joke like that.

"Ha ha."

In an instant, the tension on Xia's face dissipated, and a smile appeared on her face.

"It seems you two have a good relationship. What would you like to eat? I must demonstrate my culinary skills to this guest."

Fang Yu: "Give me a braised pork rice bowl."

Little Red Riding Hood: "We want a lion's head meatball."

"Wait, it'll be ready soon."

Xia, full of energy, turned around and went into the kitchen. Soon, the rhythmic sound of chopping vegetables could be heard coming from inside.

"Your name is Xiaodong?"

Watching Xia's figure disappear, Fang Yu turned to Little Red Riding Hood and asked her a question.

"You can also call me Han Xiaodong."

"Then I'll call you Xiaodong."

"Uh-huh."

……

Su Xiao silently buried her head in her rice, listening to the conversation at the table opposite her, and became certain of the explanation the other person had given when they were staring at her earlier.

Moreover, based on the other person's behavior and tone of voice, he could roughly judge that this person was very strong, especially since in his perception, this person seemed to not exist.

If the other person hadn't been staring at him so directly, he might not have even noticed.

Having memorized the other person's face, Su Xiao stopped paying attention to them.

A moment later, the sound of a door being pushed open rang out.

Just then, Su Xiao finished eating and was resting in a chair. When the person who entered passed by, he noticed that the person was wrapped up tightly and wore a black hood. This attire was obviously to avoid being sniped in the derivative world.

Seeing that the person sat down at the opposite table and started talking to the other person, Su Xiao took out his phone, looked down and started playing with it, while also listening to see if there was any useful information.

"6? You must be joking, this is a dark purple item."

Unexpectedly, the person in the black hat turned out to be a woman. Even more unexpectedly for Su Xiao, the item they were trading was a dark purple item, a quality he had never heard of before.
