Cat-Eared Chef's Instant Noodles Barbecue Feast!

"The upgrade completed?"

Lin Ye raised his eyebrows and glanced at the native worker, who was still boiling water excitedly.

He opened the information panel of the Level 2 bunker.

Territory: Bunker

Level: 2

Range: 2,000 meters

Population Limit: 500 [397/500]

Recruitment Order: Native Worker Recruitment Order (Unlimited. Only requires Zombie Soul to pay for recruitment)

[Beginner Chef Recruitment Order x100 (Special Job, 1 recruitment order can only summon 1 person)]

[Friendly reminder. The requirements for the chef recruitment order have been met. Do you wish to summon them?]

"Summon them. Let the professionals make my first meal since arriving in this world." Lin Ye chuckled, choosing the option to summon the chefs.

As soon as he finished speaking, a hexagram array appeared in the bunker that had just leveled up. Then, a sky-blue portal appeared.

The door was barely visible.

There were also some food carvings on the door, which made the door look more sophisticated than the native workers' portal.

The next moment, there was a flash of light and a petite female cat-eared chef wearing a maid's uniform walked out.

The cat-eared chef, who was the first to walk out, had a cheerful personality. She looked around and instantly locked her gaze on Lin Ye among the crowd. Her sparkling eyes immediately revealed a look of joy. She leaped and quickly jumped to Lin Ye's side, circling him.

She bared her canine teeth and said cutely, "Respected lord, I am your number one chef, Nicole. Nice to meet you."

"Nicole. I can't believe that she has a name." Lin Ye remained silent, but he felt sorry for the native workers at the same time.

The class system in this world was too cruel. Low-level native workers didn't even deserve names. What a jerk.

He decided that when the loyalty of the native workers reached 100, he would give them the surname 'Lin'.

From Lin One to Lin Infinity, it can be considered as a mark of their arrival in this world.

Else when they died, there would be no name on the tombstone. If they went to the underworld, they would be a lonely ghost.

"My lord, my compatriots are still waiting behind the teleportation portal. Please wait for a moment. They will be here soon."

Chef Nicole stood obediently beside Lin Ye.

However, when her gaze swept across the native farmers, as well as the large amount of instant noodles and ham, her eyes twinkled.

"Food from another world?" she gasped in surprise.

"Yes. You know about it?" Lin Ye gave her a strange look.

Nicole bobbed her head repeatedly and excitedly pointed at her own head before pointing to the sky. She explained, "With the blessings of God, the brains of chefs are able to receive any information about food, experience their emotions, and cook them in the most perfect way, making them super delicious."

"'God… this means the system, right?"

Lin Ye sighed inwardly.

In fact, in a certain sense, this system was no different from a god. It could easily transport billions of Earth people to this new world and create an interface as big as the Civilization Archive. Just thinking about it felt unbelievable.

As they conversed, the portals flashed again and again as cat-eared chefs poured out one after another.

After they came out, they gathered around Nicole. They excitedly pointed at the instant noodles, ham and other supplies as they chattered non-stop.

In their eyes, food was more important than anything else.

A moment later, when all 100 cat-eared girls were present, Nicole cleared her throat and all the chefs immediately fell silent.

Clearly, Nicole's status was above the rest. Even among the cat-eared chefs, she was a highly respected figure.

It was the same for Worker One.

"Could it be that the Number Ones are all nobles from different races?" Lin Ye thought with a wicked sense of humor.

At this moment, Nicole led a group of lovely female chefs to bow to Lin Ye. With a smile on her face, she said, "The chefs greet the lord."

"Greetings, my lord!"

Below, the three hundred plus native workers were stunned. The size of the graveyard that was originally small immediately forced many people out.

However, they had no complaints, and were instead extremely excited.

"Cat-eared chefs!"

"Oh my god, this is unbelievable. Our lord has actually recruited so many chefs!"

"I've long heard that the Cat-Eared Tribe's culinary skills are the best in the mainland. After entering the underworld, we've never eaten any delicacies from that tribe. It was a great regret of my life!"

"I heard from my grandfather's grandfather that the culinary skills of the cat-eared race can surpass the gods. Even with a pile of shit, they can create all kinds of delicacies."

"…"

Lin Ye was speechless when he heard the comments. What kind of analogy was that? He gave up on them.

In the future, if the conditions were good, he would have to organize a tuition class for them - similar to how education was mandatory for nine years back on Earth.

"My lord?"

Not hearing Lin Ye's reply after a long time, Nicole spoke carefully.

"Mm, it's nothing. There is no need for formalities." Lin Ye smiled and said to Nicole, "Since you are here, make the best use of everything. Show off your skills as a cat-eared chef to the fullest. You may use all the living supplies. There will be no limit to the amount of food you can eat tonight."

Upon hearing this, all the native workers were excited and shouted loudly, "Long live the lord!"

[Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. Your native workers have felt happiness and their loyalty has reached 60%] (Worker One has a loyalty of 70%)

"Keep your voices down. If you attract the zombie army, it won't be you eating, but them."

Lin Ye gestured.

Perhaps it was because these guys had been oppressed for too long that they were so easily moved by just a little bit of low-level food.

"Yes, my lord!"

All of them straightened their backs. They answered softly, but spoke in a serious manner, looking especially hilarious.

"Ignore them. Go ahead and display your talents to your heart's content." Lin Ye shook his head and laughed. He turned his head to look at Nicole and gave her the authority.

"I will definitely not disappoint my lord!" The corners of Nicole's mouth curled into a sweet smile.

With that, she rolled up her sleeves and led a group of extremely excited cat-eared chefs into the circle of resources.

"Instant noodles. Gourmet analysis. Best tasting when boiled, add a third of the seasoning, alongside with ham, eggs, vegetables…"

"There are no greens but there are vegetable wraps. Add some fragrant oil to that…"

"There's no fragrant oil either, but I saw pork and beef. I can replace it with lard. The remaining meat can be used to make barbecue…"

...…

Lin Ye sat on a wooden chair and looked at the food made by the group of cat-eared girls.

A few hundred people worth of food was no joke.

It was a spectacular sight.

Ten minutes later, more than four hundred servings of beef and ham instant noodles were completed. On top of each serving of instant noodles was a skewer of pork.

Of course, because of the limitations in ingredients, there was very little meat.

Even so, he could smell the fragrance from far away, and his mouth watered involuntarily.

"Rumble—"

The group of native workers stared with their eyes wide open. If it wasn't for Lin Ye stopping them from doing so, they would have already rushed over to eat.

At this moment, Lin Ye stood up and said with a smile, "Don't be impatient. Everyone has one. From today's performance, No. 9, 68, 35, and 156… The twelve of you have either found a treasure chest or discovered a blueprint for soldiers. You will be rewarded with five skewers of roasted meat and a can of Red Bull."

With that, he took out twelve cans of Red Bull from his resource page and handed them to the cat-eared chefs. One by one, they distributed them to the twelve meritorious subordinates.

"I'm willing to sacrifice my life for our lord!"

Holding the steaming hot instant noodles and roasted meat in their hands, the twelve people were so overwhelmed that tears welled up in their eyes.

The others also received their own portion of beef instant noodles.

Everyone got a bowl.

"I wish everyone a long life!"

Lin Ye shouted loudly and ordered, "Let's eat!"

As soon as he finished speaking, amidst the cheers of the native workers, all of them picked up their wooden chopsticks and started eating.

[Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. Your native workers have been enraptured by your chefs' food. All loyalty has reached 80%.]
