Chapter 122

"System, I think I've found a loophole in the shop," Luo Chuan mentally called out.

Just when Luo Chuan thought the system wouldn't respond, its voice sounded: "Origin Mall has updated its rules and prohibits the resale of goods. Offenders will be permanently blacklisted."

Luo Chuan: "System."

System: "Yes, what is it, host?"

"I found such a significant loophole, and there's no reward for it?"

It was another instance of pitfalls in the system.

The system remained silent for a moment before responding, "Rewards were issued in advance last night."

Luo Chuan:...

Was co-authoring yesterday's cooking tutorial considered an advance reward?

"Stingy system!" Luo Chuan cursed inwardly.

"Warning, if the host speaks poorly of the system, the system reserves the right to deduct rewards from the host," the mechanical voice of the system warned.

Luo Chuan smirked secretly.

So stingy!

"Cough cough cough, there are new rules in Origin Mall," Luo Chuan coughed softly, and his voice reverberated throughout the store.

Upon hearing the announcement, everyone was stunned.

Luo Chuan flatly stated, "Reselling Origin Mall products is prohibited. Offenders will be blacklisted and banned from purchasing any Origin Mall products."

With that, Luo Chuan removed the small whiteboard with the rules written on it.

"I think the boss is targeting me, but I dare not say anything," a student whispered nervously, referring to his earlier attempt to buy spicy strips at a high price.

However, no one paid him any mind.

Under Gu Yunxi's guidance, the group proceeded to enjoy a bucket of instant noodles.

The vitality spring water in the hot water machine once again drew exclamations.

No one noticed the shelf that had previously been labeled as sold out.

"Boss, the meal is ready!" Yao Ziyan's voice called from downstairs as she descended with two bowls of golden egg fried rice.

Each grain of rice was plump and evenly coated with egg, emitting a golden glow.

A tantalizing aroma filled the Origin Mall.

Seeing Yao Ziyan, the first-time visitors were momentarily stunned.

Gu Yunxi and others had only briefly mentioned Yao Ziyan's role as a clerk, but seeing her now left everyone shocked.

Luo Chuan rose to accept the egg fried rice from Yao Ziyan.

"How is it?" Yao Ziyan asked with a smile.

Luo Chuan nodded and took a bite, impressed by the flavor and the strong spiritual aura.

It surpassed the food in Fengxianlou.

Surprised, Luo Chuan looked at Yao Ziyan. He hadn't expected her to have such remarkable cooking skills.

Swallowing, he gave his approval, "It's delicious."

"Really?" Yao Ziyan's face lit up at Luo Chuan's praise.

Ignoring their looks, Murong Haitang intervened, "Stop staring and eat your instant noodles!"

Everyone redirected their attention to their instant noodles, wary of offending Teacher Haitang.

"Did you go out this morning?" Luo Chuan asked casually between bites.

Although Yao Ziyan worked at Origin Mall, Luo Chuan didn't restrict her personal freedom.

Moreover, a master at the Venerable Realm wouldn't typically encounter danger.

"Yes," Yao Ziyan confirmed. "I noticed the ingredients in the kitchen weren't sufficient, so I went to the Jiuyao Mountain Range."

It seemed Yao Ziyan was the first person to find fault with the system-provided ingredients.

Curious, Luo Chuan inquired, "What did you find?"

Yao Ziyan smiled and gestured to the egg fried rice in Luo Chuan's bowl. "I found a bird with Phoenix blood on the outskirts of the Jiuyao Mountain Range and brought back its eggs!"

What Yao Ziyan didn't mention was that the bird hadn't laid any eggs. It had laid one to save its life under the threat of a noble-level monster royal family.
