Vast Improvement

[Swift Kitchen Knife: Increases knife speed by 200%.]

"200%? That's so high!" Xiao Feng was stunned.

Then, he waved his right hand, and a kitchen knife appeared in his hand. As he swung his right hand, it felt as if there was nothing in it. The kitchen knife danced rapidly in his hand, leaving a trail of knife flashes in the air. Xiao Feng then picked up a mutant eggplant over a meter long and, using the Butcher's Precision technique, started to carve it into a lifelike dragon.

"Incredible!" Satisfied, he put the kitchen knife away and checked his attributes.

By advancing to the third-tier Evolver, Xiao Feng gained another evolutionary ability.

[Keen Sense of Smell: Can analyze taste information with sensitivity through smell.]

A great chef should have a keen nose. This way, they could easily detect the aroma and maturity of dishes without tasting them.

However, for some reason, Xiao Feng's first thought after acquiring this ability was not to use it for cooking. The sense of smell was an entirely separate evolutionary skill. Among the people of Shelter No. 9, he had seen an Evolver with an acute sense of smell. His nose was more sensitive than a dog's, and he could detect his surroundings through the air, without seeing or hearing anything. Now, Xiao Feng was somewhat like that.

In addition, the restaurant's level had reached the third tier. However, from the third tier to the fourth, the restaurant required a whopping one million energy points to upgrade.

This large number made Xiao Feng roll his eyes.

Checking the time, he realized that it was getting late. The restaurant upgrade required twelve hours. Xiao Feng just needed a good night's sleep, and tomorrow he could surprise everyone.

The next morning, Xiao Feng was awakened by a loud scream.

"Ah!"

The loud scream penetrated the ceiling and woke Xiao Feng from his groggy state.

Looking around, one could see that Xiao Feng's bedroom had undergone a complete transformation.

What was previously a 30 to 40 square meter bedroom had now expanded to approximately 80 square meters.

Even the bed he slept in had turned into a huge water bed.

As Xiao Feng moved, you could feel a sense of surging waves.

It seemed somewhat extravagant to sleep alone on such a water bed.

Putting on slippers, Xiao Feng headed outside.

At this moment, a floor plan of the restaurant immediately appeared in his mind.

After the upgrade, the restaurant's area had expanded to 500 square meters.

The restaurant now had three floors.

The third floor was the living space for Xiao Feng and others.

The second floor had been transformed into elegant private rooms.

The private rooms had windows on all three sides, with a total of twelve private rooms.

The largest one could accommodate twenty people dining at the same time.

The private rooms were luxuriously decorated and included facilities like KTV.

You could enjoy a meal while singing karaoke, and the soundproofing was excellent.

"Wow, the minimum consumption for a private room should be at least 10,000 energy points!" Xiao Feng immediately established rules for the minimum consumption in the private rooms.

Furthermore, Xiao Feng discovered that upgrading to a third-tier restaurant had unlocked an additional restaurant skill.

Previously, the two skills were "Instant Return" and "Energy Recovery."

"This time, there's an additional feature called [Private Room Energy Absorption Effect]

What does it mean?

[Private rooms are divided into three categories: individual, for ten people, and for twenty people]

An individual room can accommodate up to five people for dining and provides a 10% increase in energy absorption effect.

A ten-person room can accommodate up to ten people for dining and provides a 20% increase in energy absorption effect.

A twenty-person room can accommodate up to twenty people for dining and provides a 30% increase in energy absorption effect.

What is energy absorption?

The advancement of an Evolver's strength requires leveling up. They need to absorb free-floating energy from the surroundings into their bodies to increase their strength level. They can also absorb energy cores to level up. However, there is a limit to the absorption rate.

Some Evolvers may never reach the third level in their lifetime. The rate of personal energy absorption is one aspect of it, but another factor is the speed of energy absorption. Now, with these private rooms, Xiao Feng can accelerate the absorption rate.

Imagine this: normally, one might eat one steamed bun per minute. But inside the private room, they can eat three steamed buns per minute. As a professional eater, who can compete with me?

This effect applies to Evolvers of all different levels. Even a ninth-level Evolver can come here and enjoy the same absorption effect.

Entering the first-floor hall, Xiao Feng was completely impressed by its interior design.

With a 500-square-meter restaurant area that includes the kitchen, warehouse, backyard, and other spaces on the first floor, there's still approximately 300 square meters available for customer dining.

On the left side, the upgraded restaurant area has been transformed into a section for individual dining, while the right side has been partitioned to create a group dining area.

Moreover, they've set up a large stage. If you're getting married, you can hold the ceremony here.

If the spending capacity is high enough, Xiao Feng, the boss, can easily go up there and do a striptease dance to entertain everyone.

"My goodness! What on earth is happening?"

Gao Ya was so astonished by the drastic changes that she couldn't find the right words.

"Boss, you told me yesterday that you were going to expand the restaurant's scope, but how did it undergo such a massive transformation in just one day?"

Mr. Gao asked in amazement, his eyes wide with disbelief, as he ran his fingers over the smooth, pristine walls.

"Well, to be honest, I'm an Evolver too, but my ability is to expand the scope of buildings and alter them," Xiao Feng told a white lie. "I worked all night to modify and expand the restaurant, and I finally completed it this morning."

"It's unbelievable that Evolvers have such incredible abilities!" Clearly, Gao Ya and the others believed Xiao Feng's explanation.

At that moment, a system notification rang in Xiao Feng's mind.

[Notification: Release a temporary restaurant task]

[Due to the expansion of the restaurant's scale and a severe shortage of staff, a temporary task has been released: recruit two doormen, four security guards, and ten waiters within ten days]

[After the temporary task is completed, the restaurant can begin offering takeout services]
