The strongest anime shop owner

Speaking of which, if I had a good body, I could change my old body that was as ugly as a gorilla. Everyone loves beauty, and besides, not being able to make friends in college is actually one of the fundamental reasons.

Copying other people's tricks next time won't be so easy, unless you're charming someone or doing something like a seduction. It's one thing if it's a woman, but if it's a man, it just feels like he's being malicious.

Now, given her current status, Soma probably wouldn't object to her helping with things like bathing. Even if it doesn't work out, there are plenty of opportunities to make a move.

However, she only had one chance to win a prize, and she felt she shouldn't waste it on something like this. She had to choose a good one. After much deliberation, Su Luo finally decided to put it aside for now.

I used to think collecting things was easy, but now that I think about it, it seems so difficult.

After taking a shower, Su Luo went to bed wearing only her underwear. The house wasn't very big; there were only two rooms and a toilet upstairs, so Su Luo slept with Soma.

Food Wars! is a world where food reigns supreme.

Food reigns supreme, and many problems are resolved through food battles.

"It's such a mismatch, it's absolutely devastating."

"It's such a bad combination, squid and peanut butter, it's hilarious, it's absolutely awful."

A boy with red spiky hair was eating his own bizarre cooking in his yard. He was covering his forehead, with food in his mouth and a ridiculous smile on his face. In front of him was an oven, on which some squid tentacles were being grilled. Beside him was a bowl containing some cooked tentacles, which were dipped in some strange sauce. It looked weird, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why.

"Soma, your friend is here." Just as Soma was grumbling, a middle-aged man's voice came from inside the house.

"Yosh! Here we go." Soma put down the bowl in his hand, took off the long white cloth from his hand, tied it to his forehead, and said with great enthusiasm.

"Ugh! It's starting again."

In her room, listening to the noise coming from downstairs, Su Luo originally wanted to sleep a little longer, but now she really couldn't sleep anymore, even if it was just by keeping her eyes closed.

"Here we go again." And it's already quite late; the sun is high in the sky. Su Luo is very familiar with this noise—it's Soma challenging Joichiro again. As for the result... hehe.

The outcome was obvious; Dad would definitely win. There was no comparison. While his older brother didn't know much about their father, Su Luo, being a transmigrator, was well aware of just how terrifying his father's true strength was.

Su Luo yawned, put on her clothes, and took care of her personal hygiene before heading downstairs. Before she could even see what was downstairs, she could already smell a delicious aroma wafting from the tip of her nose. There she saw Soma and a handsome middle-aged man with a beard and long, wine-red hair, Joichiro, making fried rice with great enthusiasm, emitting an enticing smell.

"Hey, Yumi, you're here too." Su Luo came downstairs and the first thing she saw was a cute girl with short hair and wearing a school uniform. She was Kurase Mayumi.

Yukihira Soma's childhood friend and junior high school classmate; they've been classmates since kindergarten. Having grown up together, she's well aware of Soma's interest in cooking and often gets to taste his various dishes, though she seems rather inept at it herself. She attended a regular high school and, because she sees Soma less frequently, seems quite lonely. Although she harbors feelings for Soma, she finds it difficult to express them, and Soma, being a hopeless romantic, is completely oblivious to this.

As for Su Luo's personality, she doesn't really like calling strangers "brother" or "sister," so she usually just calls them by their names.

"You're the referee again today." Yumi often comes here and frequently refers to the matches between Soma and Joichiro. Su Luo greets her naturally. As for their relationship, they get along quite well because of Soma, probably because he is Soma's younger brother.

Chapter Twelve: The Chef Profession

"Good morning, Dad." After saying this to Yumi, Su Luo turned to Shiro and said.

After speaking to Shiroichiro, Su Luo sat down in front, and then nothing more happened, as if she had forgotten something.

"Hey, little Luo Luo, you're up." Cheng Yilang greeted Su Luo as he prepared the dishes.

"I've told you so many times, just call me by my name." Upon hearing this perverted form of address, Su Luo's forehead creased up in anger. He spoke sternly, and frankly, he disliked this form of address. It had nothing to do with anything else; it just always felt strange.

"Waaaaah, my son is so heartless."

slap~

Su Luo slapped herself in the face. She was already in her thirties and still acting so improperly. It was really embarrassing, especially in front of so many people.

"I was ignored! I was ignored!" Soma, who had been enthusiastically preparing the dishes, suddenly deflated.

But she still said quietly, "Little Lolo, you didn't even say hello to your dear Onii-chan." There seemed to be a hint of resentment in her voice.

"Go away, I have no interest in greeting a man who has lost six hundred games! That would make me feel ashamed." Su Luo said without even thinking.

Upon hearing this, Soma felt as if an arrow had shot into his chest.

Soma listened to Su Luo's words and argued with great dissatisfaction: "It's not six hundred matches, but four hundred and eighty."

"Is there a difference?" Su Luo asked casually, resting her chin on her hands.

One sentence left Soma frozen in place. Ah, those were truly unbearable memories.

"Dad, make more, I haven't eaten this morning yet," Su Luo said to Cheng Yilang as she watched them busily working.

"I've already added an extra portion for one person," said Shiroichiro, because it had become a habit. Whenever Shiroichiro was home, Su Luo would come down for dinner at this time.

"Little Luo Luo, don't you want to try my fried rice? This is my latest idea. Look at each grain of rice." Seeing that Su Luo only ate what Cheng Yilang made, Soma felt like he was inferior, so he was naturally unconvinced and said enticingly.

Before Soma could finish speaking, Su Luo decisively said, "No."

"Why?" Soma didn't understand this situation.

"Because what you made was awful," Su Luo said.

Hearing Su Luo's blunt words, "Disgusting! Disgusting!" Soma was deeply hurt, as if an arrow had been shot into his chest. When he saw Yumi, he seemed to remember something and said expectantly, "Yumi, what do you think of the dishes I made?"

"Soma, of course it's very good." Yumi looked at Soma's expectant face and couldn't bear to discourage him. Although it wasn't as bad as Su Luo said, and it was indeed very delicious, it was still a bit different from Joichiro's.

"Idiot, stop daydreaming. Look, even Yumi is having trouble saying it." Su Luo interrupted Yumi before she could speak, saying directly.

"No, no." Hearing Su Luo's words, Yumi nervously waved her hands repeatedly.

"Please enjoy." Amidst their playful banter, both of their fried rice dishes were ready.

"Dad's cooking is still so delicious." Su Luo said while eating.

"Oh, right, Dad, I'm going out for a bit later and might be back a little late tonight, so don't bother preparing my meal." Su Luo said to Cheng Yilang as she chewed on her fried rice, seemingly remembering something.

"Okay, go ahead then, but be careful." Cheng Yilang didn't interfere too much with Su Luo's affairs because it was a matter of trust. At the same time, it was also clear that although Cheng Yilang sometimes seemed casual, he was actually a very reliable person.

"Okay, I'll be going now." Su Luo left after finishing the last bite of her food.

Su Luo had been here for a while. He knew that the time for the plot to begin was approaching. If he wanted to get good things, he naturally had to find a way to enter Totsuki Academy, because this year's class was the strongest ever. Whether it was the Scent of God, the Tongue of God, or other high-end items, they were all top-notch.

Originally, Su Luo could have been admitted, since she had just graduated from elementary school and was about to enter the junior high school, while Totsuki Academy was a school that combined junior and senior high school.

It would be impossible for Su Luo to attend the junior high school at Totsuki Academy. While the junior high school teaches basic knowledge, it only covers cooking skills from books and doesn't offer any practical experience. Therefore, if she wants to get into the senior high school, she would need to have some special methods.

Actually, if she had asked her father, Joichiro, for a spot in the entrance exam, it shouldn't have been a problem, since it wasn't a direct entry. However, Su Luo used to really hate cooking (referring to this body), so saying it now felt like she'd definitely have to demonstrate her culinary skills or something.

Therefore, after considering all the factors, Su Luo decided to rely on herself. As for opportunities, that's why Su Luo wanted to go out. Totsuki Academy is a school that gathers many geniuses, and there are always some special cases when facing geniuses.

Moreover, this opportunity was directly issued by the system, which said that since it was the first time entering the virtual world, there would always be some benefits. Just like that, Su Luo had two more tasks:

"Mission: Infiltrate Totsuki. If you can't even keep up with the protagonist, you might as well die. (Incomplete)"

Reward: One chance for the chef to win a prize.

Task: Prepare a dish that earns Dojima Gin's approval. If you can't even do that, how can you expect people to look at you differently? (Incomplete)

Reward: 10 points

The second task is the objective of this mission. There is an organization in this world similar to the Food Wars, and their responsibility is to judge the Food Wars and verify whether the dishes made by restaurants meet their standards.

Su Luo's first priority is to find Dojima Gin, and then decide what to do next based on the situation.

As for the chef lottery, it's a new feature of the system. It will be activated when the host arrives in the real world, and just like the current trading shop owners, you must have a shop. Then the system will issue related tasks. Thinking about earning points, Su Luo agreed without hesitation.

However, after asking around, she learned that this special function could be activated in any world that focused on a particular profession. However, the result was also obvious: although the tasks could earn more points, if there were too many professions and too many tasks, there would be no spare time. If some tasks were not completed, there would be penalties. Thinking about this, Su Luo felt a chill of fear and decided not to activate professions casually in the future.

Chapter Thirteen Mission

As for those who say why not go to a more powerful world, and that you can just look at the food in the Food Wars world and try to make it, that's impossible. The Food Wars world has its own rules, and the real world has its own rules. In the real world, without special abilities, you can't make the food from the Food Wars world, and even if you could, it wouldn't taste the same.

As for going to the world of the strong, that's even more impossible. The system won't let you go to any world at will. Currently, you can only go to some virtual worlds of ordinary people, such as Love Apartment and Little Master Chef. Although the Little Master Chef world has incredible power, like the Seven Star Blade and the Eternal Spirit Blade, it is not the real person and is still within the scope of ordinary worlds.

However, some things, even if they are not human beings, are still off-limits, such as Star Wars, where the civilization is too advanced.

Besides, we don't have many points right now, and even if we did, we wouldn't wear them randomly. After all, there will be more and more customers later on, so it's best to use them to meet the needs of our customers.

According to the information provided by the system, Dojima Gin is supposed to be conducting a surprise inspection at a restaurant called Rolling Bar today, so this is an opportunity.

The restaurant wasn't too far from Su Luo's home; it would take about 50 minutes by bus. If it were too far, Su Luo would probably be in real trouble this time.

While waiting for the bus at the bus stop, Su Luo naturally couldn't come empty-handed, otherwise the journey would be so boring, which would take almost an hour. So she carried a bag with some junk food and books inside.

Seeing that the bus she was on had stopped, Su Luo got on, put in two coins, sat down, and took out a book from her bag to read.

Su Luo reads a wide variety of books. Because she is proficient in more than a dozen languages, she can read any kind of book as long as it interests her. That's how capricious talent can be.

Meanwhile, while reading, Su Luo also thought of something else: since they are two worlds, their cultures must be different. Collecting some of the world's famous works and songs would be essential. However, she hadn't decided what she wanted for the first lottery yet, so she hadn't started collecting these things. But collecting the materials she wanted in advance to prepare for copying was still a good idea.

Furthermore, the entertainment in this world isn't that different from that in the real world; there are many differences, but also some similarities. After all, only entertainment that surpasses or is only slightly different from that in the real world works. If it's too basic, it won't be very useful even if it were brought into the real world, because they're simply not on the same level.

"Ding-dong, Nanhuai Station has arrived, please get off."

Upon hearing the sound, Su Luo put the book back in her bag and got off the bus.

After exiting the station, Su Luo asked around and quickly found the "Rolling Bar" restaurant.

The restaurant "Roll It Up" is not far away. The store doesn't look very big, you could even say it's small, and the decor looks very ordinary. But it's said that the food is very delicious, and it's usually packed with people by noon. Those with seats sit down, and those without seats get takeout.

But today is a bit of an exception. I don't know why, even though it's already noon, there aren't many people here. I don't know what's going on, but it's none of his business.

Su Luo walked straight in. The store wasn't very big, with only a few tables that were very close together. So, you could basically see the whole store at a glance.

When Su Luo saw this, she didn't care about the decorations. As long as a restaurant is clean and the food is delicious, people will still patronize it even if it's expensive.

However, when Su Luo walked in and stood at a table, she heard some customers chattering, seemingly saying that the food was not good or something. Something must have happened here.

"Sir, what would you like to eat?" Although the restaurant looked small, it had waiters. As soon as they saw Su Luo sitting at a table, one of them ran over and asked.

"Let's have a fish-flavored fried rice." Su Luo looked at the menu and the prices seemed reasonable. After a casual glance, she ordered a plate. The fried rice alone cost 6000 yen, which is about 400 yuan. This price is nothing for a high-end restaurant, since even a regular boxed lunch costs 500 yen.

"Okay, please wait a moment."

While waiting, Su Luo took out a book from her backpack and started reading.

To be honest, given what he had seen and heard about the restaurant, Su Luo didn't have much anticipation for the food that was about to be served. Besides, he wasn't very hungry at the moment; he just needed a place to wait, nothing more.

In the days to come, Su Luo knew that Soma would go to Totsuki, and according to the previous plot, Joichiro would go to help his friend. Now that Su Luo was involved, she wondered what kind of arrangements would be made. Although she didn't know, she believed that he would be informed in the next few days. However, Su Luo should still make arrangements as soon as possible.

Just as Su Luo was waiting, a noisy sound suddenly came from inside. Then, a round, fat man appeared, holding a cell phone. He looked like he had just finished a call. His forehead was covered in sweat, whether from being overweight or something else, it was unclear.

Beside the fat man were his assistant and a chef, who rushed out of the store and headed towards the entrance, seemingly to greet some important person.

"Finally here?" Su Luo's eyes were fixed on the book, a smile playing on his lips. He knew that the person who had arrived was the one he was waiting for; otherwise, the people in the shop wouldn't be in such a large and hurried manner.

Just as Su Luo had expected, a short while later, two figures appeared in the store. One was a burly man, at least two meters tall, who looked very strong in a tight-fitting black suit, with his muscles clearly defined.

Beside this man was a person with a completely opposite build. This person was not short, looked quite thin, dressed meticulously, and seemed to be someone who paid attention to details. He had brownish-pink hair, wore glasses, and looked very shrewd and capable.
