Chapter 481: Chapter 0481: Midnight Diner (Seeking Subscriptions)

The Bai Jing restaurant quietly reopened.

As it turns out, Su Lu’s culinary skills were not irreplaceable.

The legacy of flexible business hours further reduced his already low customer turnout.

After all, his cooking was only at LV4, not far behind some top-level chefs.

If he could upgrade to LV8, he could be as temperamental as he wanted, and patrons would have to put up with his bad mood just to satisfy their taste buds due to its uniqueness!

But Su Lu was too lazy to do such.

Experience points are precious, how could they be wasted?

It was initially just for survival, but now, this volume of customer flow is enough, to be honest.

Inside the restaurant.

The atmosphere was quiet.

The loyal customers who’ve been around despite the mishap—either live nearby or are of agreeable nature.

Sitting there quietly and savouring the food now felt more like a chill café environment.

‘Should I really make some changes? The restaurant feels a bit too noisy…’

‘Or… should I change the operating hours to late-night, making it a midnight diner?’

As Su Lu rapid-fire sliced the ingredients on the cutting board, he wondered silently to himself.

He was quite fond of the night.

Its peaceful and forgiving ambience felt very inviting.

More so, it gave people cover, making it easier for them to relax, revealing their innermost secrets!

He glanced at his attributes bar:

——————————————

Name: [Su Lu Pottery] (Bai Jing)

Profession: [Hypnotist] (First Tier)

Professional Rank:[1]

Strength:[1.2], Agility:[1.1], Constitution:[1.1], Spirit:[2.3]

Skills:[CookingLV4], [Boxing SkillLV4], [HypnosisLV1]

XP:[50]

——————————————

‘Upon receiving the blue crystal, I became a[Hypnotist], and although my hypnotic abilities are nowhere near what they were when I first delved into the mental realm, casting high-level hypnotic influence to make people unconsciously feel closer, and reveal their secrets isn’t challenging.’

‘Even over an extended period with hypnosis, I can implant a psychological seed and recruit followers. It’s difficult in that aspect but I can try to first control animals.’

‘The key point is, it’s challenging to connect with the Spirit World in this world…’

Since the last ‘Attraction’, Su Lu understood it.

His mythical body turned into a transcendent species seed, rooting deep within the world!

Affecting all transcendent individuals through dreams implies the dream Spirit World has been ‘transformed’, and even restricts the first three layers of the spirit world, making access to the Spirit World extremely difficult.

‘In reality, this is in my benefit, I don’t want transcendent individuals in the Spirit World occupations… Although I’ve hidden this professional pathway, I feel it will not go so smoothly…’

After all, it’s plotting a world!

If it weren’t for giving up my mythical body at the beginning, it wouldn’t have been so smooth for Bai Jing to ‘smuggle’ identities.

And even so, it will meet with resistance and interference.

‘Although my main body is currently very difficult to reach, it is only during ‘Attraction’ and ‘Promotion’ that these professional individuals can dream and gain some knowledge… However, before I had fully integrated into this world, it seemed to have been observed by a space satellite. At that time, my body had the mysterious runes of a [Spirit Mage].’

‘Although with the characteristics of the mythical body, ordinary people would surely go mad after seeing it, they would be unable to describe it, unable to preserve it, but if it’s the world’s backlash…’

Su Lu didn’t know that his speculation was very close to reality.

The backlash of this world caused him to have a few ‘photos’ preserved, even though they were only a few, they were enough to impact the ‘new system’.

This was also the difficulty of the ‘Ritual’—the world’s innate resistance!

Just as he was slightly in a trance, a stylish woman walked in, it was Li Weiwei.

‘Huh?’

Su Lu picked up his head and stared at this ‘regular customer’: ‘It’s been so long since reopening, finally, a fish comes in.’

The number of people ‘summoned’ in the first spirit tide was so small compared to the world’s total population.

And this restaurant’s business isn’t booming.

Only now, Su Lu saw his first native ‘Transcendent’!

Just with one glance, Li Weiwei seemed to sense something and looks back at him, meeting his gaze.

She did not seem any different than before, except her temperament; her temperament was somewhat different.

‘It appears that she has taken the casting tradition inheritance and currently strengthens her perception.’

Su Lu had a clear understanding in his heart.

The two pathways he designed left plenty of ‘room’, in other words, it had a high degree of flexibility.

Just like the physical path’s direction was Hunter, but ancient martial arts could also pass.

These occupational individuals formed their own first-tier profession, and when they reached peak performance, they could perceive ‘ancient gods’ through forms such as ‘sacrifice’ and ‘summon’, and receive information on the second tier.

‘They thought that the knowledge of mysticism was given by my main body. In actuality, my main body only gave the first-tier ‘Seed’ & the general direction. When it comes to the second tier, they upload the tier one information first. Upon receipt by my main body, it evolves and deduces, then give them the second tier profession… It is like a public information collection and deductive processor… This is also the transformation of the world… But if I succeed in the end, and take what belongs to me, that would be the harvest of all human wisdom, in addition to their understanding and deduction of the professional pathway, which would serve as the supreme nourishment for becoming a divine being!’

“Hello, what would you like to order?”

Su Lu asked with a smile.

He felt a bit of regret in his heart, perhaps he should set up a row of seats around the cooking station for an easier conversation with the patrons.

Fortunately, with not many customers, he was able to chat after he had finished his work.

“One Wen Si tofu soup, thank you.”

Li Weiwei has relaxed a bit and found a seat.

‘Her hands in front of her body, her haunched tense a little, a defensive posture… Does this mean she is anxious, feeling uneasy being a ‘different kind?’.’

Su Lu brought the dish in front of her and casually sat down: “Your Wen Si tofu soup, please enjoy.”

“Thank you.”

Li Weiwei picked up the soup spoon and slightly surprised looked at Su Lu: “Boss… aren’t you working?”

“Everything is done, chatting with the customers is also part of the service in my restaurant.”

Su Lu answered with a smile: “I made some improvements in the cooking method of this dish. I wanted to hear the customer’s opinions.”

“Oh.”

Li Weiwei looked at Su Lu’s face, thinking that the owner’s eyes were really beautiful, slightly relaxed, took a scoop of tofu: “Mmm… it’s even tastier.”

Seeing like she took small bites, but she finished the tofu quickly, breathed a satisfying long breath: “Eating here… gives that feeling of relaxation, comfort…”
