Chapter 22

"Boss Sarah, after my side closes, I'll go to your side to try my handicraft," Takumi said.

After Takumi finished speaking, Sarah lowered her head unnaturally.

*The boss is so handsome!*

She really wished she could tie Boss Takumi over to be her Deer Hunter restaurant's boss.

Anyway, everyone opened a shop on this street. The reason why Boss Takumi chose to open a shop not far from the entrance of the Adventurers' Association was obviously due to insufficient starting capital.

But Sarah had money.

The Deer Hunter restaurant was located in the entertainment center of Mond, near Fountain Square. Over the years, Sarah had earned a little bit of Mora.

*Cough, cough*... but now wasn't the time to speak up. There were many adventurers in the store at this moment, all staring at her.

"Boss Sarah, you need to reserve a seat for me then!" one adventurer called out.

"Yes, yes, I'll go to Angel's Gift to get some wine later. Let's go together!" another added.

"The wine brewed by Little Diona tastes even better!" a third chimed in.

"That's true. It's Xia Tian's. It's more comfortable when served cold."

Sarah, a common restaurateur, could only hope to make what she wanted. Although it wasn't the skill everyone was hoping for—or the prop called the detonator—extracting cooking techniques from anime was still very curious!

Even if she couldn't acquire new abilities, at least she could enjoy the ramen that Naruto had eaten!

So, inadvertently, the animation screening room and Yile Ramen became a hot topic all over Mond City.

Facing the eyes of countless adventurers staring at her, it wasn't easy for Sarah to ask Boss Takumi directly if he had a partner and if he needed a girlfriend.

After all, a boss like Takumi should have no shortage of admirers!

Mond was a free city-state, and emotional matters were dealt with freely here.

"Okay, after I go back later, I will start to study Yile Ramen!" Sarah announced with a bright smile.

"Everyone is welcome to come and taste it anytime. I believe Yile Ramen will definitely take Deer Hunter's to a higher level!"

After saying this, Sarah left the screening room.

As for whether Yile Ramen would truly become popular in Mond, Takumi didn't pay much attention. At this moment, his eyes were focused on his system panel:

---

**[Main Task 2: 80% Complete!]**

**[After a total of 300 customers have been served, the Internet system of Mond City (blocking Tianli version) will be unlocked!]**

**[Currently, the animation screening room has accepted 240 customers. The success rate of extracting skills, props, and experience from animation is 70%! ]**

**[The host currently has 20 chances to draw a lottery. Would you like to draw a lottery?]**

---

In the city, it was still the same as before. Due to the Wind Demon Dragon, not many shops had opened recently. There were only a few taverns in the city, and the Deer Hunter restaurant was still open.

Walking on the streets of the city, Takumi headed towards Fountain Square. Today, he was invited by Sarah to taste the Yile Ramen that she had developed to suit the tastes of Mond people.

However, after reading the system's updates, Takumi couldn't help but smile.

*Finally, 80% of the second main task is complete! There are 20 chances to draw a lottery. I wonder which anime or abilities I will get.*

Compared to abilities, Takumi preferred to draw anime. After all, the abilities that people of Teyvat could obtain from anime were available 100% to him, and they were usually a little more powerful than theirs.

"I won't draw just yet. I'll go to the Deer Hunter restaurant first to try the Ichiraku Ramen, then I'll talk about it when I get home."

The Deer Hunter restaurant was located near the square, in a good spot filled with passing Mond residents and adventurers. The business was doing well. Even at this hour, there were still many customers.

---

"Boss Takumi is here?" someone called out.

"Hello, Boss Takumi, are you off work? I was thinking of going to your place to hire a night out!" another adventurer greeted him.

"Boss Takumi, have the episodes after the seventh episode of *Naruto* been released? It's been a week!" one asked eagerly.

"Boss Takumi is also here to eat ramen!" another exclaimed.

"I have to say, the taste of Yile Ramen is really good!" someone else added.

"It would be great if I could pack it. After eating a bowl of ramen, I feel like I can deal with a group of hilichurls!"

Seeing these familiar adventurers, Takumi smiled but didn't say much. 

And Sarah, upon seeing Takumi arrive, quickly ordered a bowl of ramen.

"Takumi, Boss Takumi, this is Yile Ramen made according to the recipe. Do you think it suits your taste?" she asked eagerly.

Sarah had deftly prepared a bowl of ramen with all the right flavors and toppings.

Takumi glanced at the dish, his gaze lingering for a moment.

*Boar meat on top...*

He had to observe three seconds of silence for the wild boars outside the city. Of course, it was only for three seconds, because, despite that, the appearance of the ramen was irresistible.

Takumi couldn't help but swallow as he looked at it.

However, at that moment, his eyes caught a glimpse of something in his peripheral vision.

A touch of green appeared not far from him.

---

"Huh?" Takumi muttered. 

"Five thousand Mora for a bowl of noodles? Sarah, you're stealing money!" Takumi exclaimed in surprise.

He was looking at the signature dish of Sarah's restaurant that had just been modified.

"Out of business, Barbatos?" Takumi raised an eyebrow, confused.

"This singer doesn't drink. What is he doing here?"
