Chapter 17 has another purpose.
Ronan knew that the traveler's conclusions were completely wrong.
He wasn't interested in that either. Leaning back on the sofa, he investigated the construction of the Herodo website while pondering the design that had first stirred up the ghost story at the O'Na Li Photo Studio.
After he woke up comfortably, the next day arrived.
The familiar sounds of cooking could still be heard from the kitchen.
Ronan had a bad feeling. He opened his eyes and saw a bowl of spicy tomato, chili, and egg noodles on every dining table, as if it were offered to a ghost. He went to the kitchen and saw Oonali, whose fair skin showed no signs of fatigue, still working hard to cook.
He put the freshly made tomato, chili, and egg noodles (spicy flavor) into his mouth.
My taste buds exploded with joy.
It tastes the same as Ronan's.
Ronan didn't seem to care about any of that.
He never makes money from his shop, he only earns merit points.
O'Neill looked at Ronan with an expectant expression.
Ronan expressed his approval.
However, the issue of waste was looming over Oonali.
"Such a lot of tomato, chili, and egg noodles, isn't that a waste...?"
The door was pushed open at that moment, and Ronan saw a girl with purple hair, her bangs were elegant and just right, she wore a counter-clockwise spiral ring, and a simple black dress.
Ronan is boring.
Not a traveler.
"It won't be a waste, if I like it..."
Ronan had never seen anything like it; the shop was actually being harassed by some troublesome locals.
The black-haired girl introduces herself.
"I'm Cecilia, the owner of the five-star bathhouse next door. According to some inside information, I heard that this 'Farmhouse-Style Tomato and Egg Noodles' restaurant has actually gotten a must-try recommendation that hasn't been seen in a long time. I just want to come and try it out..."
Ronan understood now; it seemed to be a well-informed and cunning commoner. He said elegantly:
"Tomato, chili, and egg noodles—spicy flavor—are available everywhere here; feel free to sample them..."
Ronan could clearly see Cecilia's lips twitch.
However, Cecilia still found a seat, picked up her chopsticks, and put them directly into her mouth to taste them.
First, the rich sweet and sour taste of tomatoes melts on the tip of the tongue, the soft and tender egg slides down the throat, and the next second, the fresh and spicy flavor explodes, instantly sweeping over the entire taste buds.
Her eyelashes trembled suddenly, her eyes widened abruptly, and her lips unconsciously tightened yet slightly parted, a soft inhalation escaping from her lips.
She couldn't bear to stop, and quickly slurped up another big mouthful of noodles. The spiciness rushed down her throat, and a warm, tingling sensation spread throughout her body.
Her brows furrowed slightly as she was captivated by the explosive flavors. She breathed softly, her tongue lightly touching her lower lip, her eyes filled with amazement, completely immersed in the exquisite taste of the tomatoes and the chili peppers.
After finishing his meal, Ronan looked at the silent Cecilia.
"Perfect!"
Cecilia gave Ronan a thumbs up.
"Just this bowl of noodles alone is something our bathhouse absolutely needs. You know, bathhouses generally have two standards for evaluation: one is whether they have a perfect hot spring, and the other is whether the food is delicious..."
"I think your tomato, chili, and egg noodles would be considered top-tier chef-level even by our standards..."
"I've heard that most of our recent visitors are tourists. If you're interested in making money from tourists, why not become the head chef at our company..."
Ronan saw Cecilia's sincere gaze.
Cecilia, a character from Herodo, has sent you an invitation.
[Invited Position - Executive Chef]
[Current Level: Zero (Not Yet)]
Skills Mastered: None
[To cater to travelers, design dishes that travelers will love, and if the score is satisfactory, you can advance to the next level and enter a prize draw.]
Job duties: From 8 PM to 12 AM every night, direct the kitchen, manage operations effectively, and design menu items.
Ronan wasn't interested in that at all.
It's still more liberating to own your own shop.
Moreover, the head chef...
Ronan's story is too complicated to explain in a few words.
Ronan expressed his opinion tactfully.
Cecilia understood; the topic suddenly changed.
"Since you're not wearing a chef's uniform, these weren't made by your apprentices, were they? You'd better train them properly..."
"But to be able to cook such delicious food, I really have to praise my apprentice..."
Cecilia looked toward the stove, seemingly trying to confirm something. Fortunately, in this ditch world, without engaging in combat, it was impossible to easily detect what others were.
Now that O'Neill had her feet on the ground, she cooked using only brute force.
Cecilia looked away.
"Your apprentice is truly young and promising, so full of energy..."
"Give me all of these noodles, I'll take them all. A car will be here to pick me up later, I want my employees to try them..."
Ronan, of course, could not refuse this request.
Goodbye Cecilia.
Ronan approached O'Neill.
"It seems there's something wrong with Cecilia..."
This sudden remark left Oona Li somewhat dumbfounded.
"Mr. Ronan, what do you mean by that? Why do you say that...?"
Ronan laughed:
"You don't actually think she's a righteous citizen, do you...?"
O'Neill couldn't understand it.
"Unless the panel is turned on, everything can be faked."
"Although I can't figure out what her plans are right now..."
O'Neill was a little flustered.
"What should we do then, Mr. Ronan..."
Ronan is not in a hurry.
"Let's observe the situation first..."
Ronan and O'Neill cleaned up the restaurant.
Because Oonali had perfectly mastered the traditional tomato, chili, and egg noodles made in a rural setting, she no longer needed to practice diligently.
Ronan collected information about his own restaurant and prepared to create a website for a simple bowl of tomato and egg noodles. He first created an empty shell to prove that Ronan was indeed preparing for the restaurant.
The gate was opened in the afternoon.
Before my eyes was a blue-haired man, who was doing his best to imitate the Blue Enchantress from head to toe.
He has "White Ayu" on his head.
He is a food blogger.
To be precise, she was a real-life food blogger before heroin became popular, and she had a moderate number of followers. Her videos were all about promoting certain shops.
He also wanted to make his own videos, but the food section was so crowded that Ayu was really getting frustrated.
This even led to videos of people using AI cats to do mukbang (eating broadcasts), which surprisingly outperformed a number of other food bloggers.
He unintentionally joined the wave of Herodo. He was immersed in the game, but he was extremely hungry. In the game, players eat and drink, and players in the sleep pods are also injected with food and water.
He wanted to find a good restaurant, but ended up going to ten different places and getting ripped off by the food each time. He originally planned to upload this video to complain, but it unexpectedly got tens of millions of views and his followers doubled.
This led to a series of videos where he discovered delicious food in Hell and wrote travel guides, which received an extremely explosive response. Even when he went live at noon to find restaurants in Hell, he could still get tens of thousands of viewers in his live stream.
The fun of watching his live stream is that he actually finds delicious restaurants in Hellwood, helps his fellow travelers and their wives develop their relationships, and sees Bai Bai's A Yu encounter ridiculous restaurants and get humiliated.
Furthermore, the recent series of restaurant recommendations by fans has caused a sensation in Bai Bai's A Yu live stream.
He looked at the next fan recommendation.
"This 'Farmhouse-Style Tomato and Egg Noodles' shop, they say it's an official Easter egg. Holy crap, 'Farmhouse-Style Tomato and Egg Noodles' is actually a long-awaited Chinese dish! I don't believe any player wouldn't want to come and eat here after seeing this shop's name..."
