Chapter 42

"What's that smell?" Step Lige twitched his nose, wearing a curious expression.

Beside him, Jiang Shengjun followed closely.

Despite their previous discomfort, today the two of them arrived at Luo Chuan's place together, seeming like good friends.

"Could it be that the boss bought new products again?" Jiang Shengjun speculated excitedly, eyes sparkling.

"Definitely!" Bu Lige affirmed confidently.

As they approached the alley, their excitement grew until they noticed five big men squatting in front of the store, with Luo Chuan lounging on a rocking chair.

"Brother Bu, look at what they're holding," Jiang Shengjun pointed to the instant noodle buckets in the hands of Zhou Hu and the others, his mouth watering.

The enticing aroma in the air confirmed their suspicions.

"The boss really did bring in something new without telling us," Bu Lige muttered to himself, slightly pouting.

"Boss, are these new products?" Step Lige inquired curiously as they reached Luo Chuan.

Luo Chuan nodded. "Indeed."

"Sister Ziyan, we'll take a bucket of instant noodles, plus some spicy strips and Coke!" the two exclaimed as they entered the store, spotting Yao Ziyan enjoying instant noodles behind the counter.

"Help yourselves, just remember to pay," Yao Ziyan instructed after glancing at them.

They headed to the instant noodle shelf.

"Wow! Increases training speed tenfold for an hour! The items in the shop never disappoint!" Bu Lige exclaimed, reading the instant noodle description with awe.

"If we have this every day as part of our training, we'll safely reach the Divine Soul realm," Bu Lige remarked with confidence.

"Brother Bu, I noticed they needed hot water for the noodles earlier," Jiang Shengjun recalled, furrowing his brows.

"Hot water?" Bu Lige was puzzled.

Yao Ziyan overheard their conversation and pointed to the hot water machine in the corner. "Hot water's there, and it's 100 Lingjing per use."

The realization hit them.

Moments later, Jiang Shengjun and Bu Lige were squatting in front of the store with their instant noodles. Their previous grievances about hot water had vanished.

"It's practically free! Selling hot water for just one hundred spirit crystals is practically giving it away!" they thought.

"You two found this store from Wei Qingzhu's recommendation?" Zhou Hu asked curiously, observing the well-dressed pair.

Bu Lige thought to himself, "Wei Qingzhu must be a customer at the owner's shop."

"No, we discovered it on our own," Bu Lige replied, a hint of pride in his voice. "And I was the first customer!"

Zhou Hu nodded in understanding.

"How did you find this store?" Jiang Shengjun was curious.

Bu Lige launched into a dramatic retelling of how they stumbled upon Origin Mall,

captivating the listeners with the tale of their discovery.
