I'm a web novelist, and you want me to work in the entertainment industry?

A dozen minutes later, the group arrived at a ramen shop with a narrow storefront. A half-length white curtain hung at the entrance, with a black character for "noodles" printed on it.

As I lifted the curtain and stepped inside, the wind chimes tinkled, and a rich aroma of pork bone broth wafted towards me.

The store isn't very big; it only has a bar area with about ten seats.

A young couple sat in the corner, sharing a bowl of noodles, feeding each other bites.

Behind the bar stood a bald middle-aged man, dressed in a black work uniform with a white cloth tied around his forehead. He was clearing away the tableware while watching the small LCD TV hanging above the bar.

A baseball game is playing on TV.

Upon hearing the wind chimes ring, the ramen chef immediately looked towards the door and said in a strong voice:

「いらっしゃいませ（Welcome）!」

Of the six people who entered, four looked at each other, their eyes seemingly asking: What is this guy talking about?

Only Xia Ziyi and Cheng Che were truly extraordinary—

Cheng Che: "Arigato!"

Xia Ziyi: "So Dai Si Nai!"

The ramen chef and the young couple sitting in the corner were completely stunned by what they heard.

To avoid being mistaken for a lunatic, Tian Xiwei quickly pulled Cheng Che aside, and Xu Anan also dragged Xia Ziyi away.

The six people sat down at the bar in the order of Yan, Liu, Cheng, Tian, ​​Xia, and Xu, and looked down at the menu.

After a series of exchanges using Japanese, English, and sign language, the four of them managed to place their order relatively smoothly.

As for Teacher Yan and Liu Xianhua... the two sat calmly to the side, not even looking at the menu, but directly negotiating with the owner—

Teacher Yan said confidently, "Hi, we want the spiciest one!"

The ramen chef didn't understand and smiled awkwardly: "えいごがわかりません (I don't understand foreigners)."

Teacher Yan thought he was advising her to think twice before acting, so she immediately waved her hand and said, "Don't worry! I can eat very spicy food."

The ramen chef still didn't understand, with a bitter look on his face: "えいごはほんとうにききとれません (I really don't understand foreigners)."

Teacher Yan thought he had convinced the other party, and immediately burst into laughter: "OK (no problem)!"

The ramen chef, thinking the other person finally understood, laughed heartily, "OK, OK!"

The other five people listened to the two's incoherent conversation but couldn't understand a single word.

Cheng Che simply took out his phone, and on the screen, our excellent AI "Dou Sha Bao" was translating the conversation between Teacher Yan and the ramen chef in real time.

He was deeply impressed after reading it and looked at Teacher Yan with admiration.

[No, wait, can someone with some education translate what these two are saying?]

[I can't take it anymore, I'm dying of laughter! Those two are completely on different wavelengths. Teacher Yan said she wanted the spiciest food, while Master Ren kept saying he couldn't understand.]

[Hahahaha, here comes the stream-of-consciousness exchange! No wonder he's a veteran artist (thumbs up)!]

[Ruko from the island nation is already exhausted from laughing...]

Yan Lei felt good about himself, and no one else dared to speak up and remind him.

Fortunately, at this moment, the couple sitting in the corner couldn't stand it anymore. The boy stood up and translated for the ramen chef, telling him that the customer wanted the spiciest ramen.

The ramen chef suddenly realized what was going on, and his smile faded, his expression slowly turning serious, like a samurai about to draw his sword for a duel.

He first served noodles to Cheng Tianxia and Xu in order.

Cheng Tian's team received 2 bowls of tonkotsu ramen.

Xu Xia's team received 1 salt ramen and 1 char siu ramen.

"I swear!" Cheng Che clasped his hands together in a very professional manner and began to taste it.

"Yoshi yoshi, five ants, five ants!" After taking a bite, he imitated the comment of a man named "Goro".

Tian Xiwei gently kicked him under the table and whispered, "Be normal."

"Hai." Cheng Che's eyes instantly became clear.

Xia Ziyi was picking at the char siu in her bowl when she heard this and looked up: "Sou ga sou ga."

Xu Anan silently moved the chair to the side.

While the group was eating their noodles, the ramen chef didn't rush to serve Teacher Yan and Liu Xianhua. Instead, he turned and went into the kitchen, taking out a card—

The card is black and red, with these words printed at the top:

"[Forbidden] Ghost and God's karma fire ラーメン"

Below that is a small line of text written in Japanese and English, which roughly translates to:

"If you experience symptoms such as difficulty breathing, dizziness, stomach pain, out-of-body experience, hallucinations, or temporary loss of taste after consuming this product, these are normal phenomena and have nothing to do with our store."

Liu Xianhua was already having second thoughts when he saw this, but when he turned his head, he saw Yan Lei curling his lips and looking disdainful.

So he copied him, giving the same disdainful look.

Teacher Yan: "Come on!"

Seeing this, the ramen chef stopped trying to persuade him and went back to the kitchen.

The young couple in the corner looked at them with an expression that was hard to tell whether it was pity or admiration.

A few minutes later, two bowls of noodles were served.

How should I describe these two bowls of noodles?

With a thick layer of chili powder on the surface, Yan Lei stirred it with chopsticks for a long time before finally managing to scoop out a few strands of noodles from the "sea of ​​chili."

The broth was a dark red, bubbling away, and didn't resemble ramen soup at all; it looked more like a deadly poison from some evil organization.

Cheng Che was terrified and wished he could shrink into Xiao Tian's arms and hide.

Why did you bring out two bowls of poison if you're not the shopkeeper?

[This shop owner is really something else; he even gave us a free bowl of ramen if we wanted to visit a desert area!]

[Not bro, I'm a student studying nearby, and I've actually been to this restaurant... Professor Yan can't eat there! Oh dear!]

"Maybe... we shouldn't eat it?" Tian Xiwei said at this moment.

Will I die after eating this?

She's bound to die, isn't she?

Henry Lau immediately looked at Yan Lei with hopeful eyes.

"Hey, it's nothing." Yan Lei pretended not to care. "Japanese people, they just love to be flashy. It's all just for show."

After saying that, he picked up two noodles with his chopsticks and put them in his mouth, chewing for a long time.

"Hmm...it's pretty average." He laughed.

Seeing this, Liu Xianhua was suddenly emboldened, picked up a mouthful of noodles with his chopsticks, took a deep breath, and put it in his mouth.

"Hmm...that's quite a feast!"

He forced an awkward smile, and his face turned red at a visible speed.

"Keep eating," Yan Lei said.

The whole shop fell silent; even the young couple put down their chopsticks.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Teacher Yan had barely eaten a few bites when sweat began to bead on his forehead and his lips grew increasingly red, yet he remained unmoved.

"Hmm, not spicy!"

As he spoke, as if to increase credibility, he lowered his head and took a small sip of soup.

"Delicious! Delicious!"

Seeing this, Henry Lau was not about to back down, so he also lowered his head and took a small sip of soup.

Then--
