Universe Infinite Canteen

Ma Lu checked the conversation content between the two and expressed his approval of their preliminary success in stubbornly arguing.

"What are you doing 23" had met his match this time, and towards the end, he was clearly provoked to a point of rage, with the words getting more and more intense, and both the aggression and sarcasm were maxed out, as various puns and obscenities flew around.

Unfortunately for him, his opponent was no ordinary person. The Valkyrie People, although they had self-taught Chinese to integrate into big city life, were only at the level of the old Chinese dictionaries.

They were completely unaware of current internet slang and various popular memes.

So they didn't really understand those malicious attacks by "What are you doing 23." For the most part, the two were stubbornly arguing their own points and were mostly not even on the same wavelength.

But even so, neither of them gave up, stubbornly arguing over a hundred more floors.

Their perseverance was astonishing, and they both had way too much free time on their hands.

Latter on, Ma Lu could feel that "What are you doing 23's" mental state had completely blown up, while in contrast, that Valkyrie person was a true professional at being stubborn.

His main tactic was simply to be argumentative.

He continued to argue tirelessly, the only problem being a bit of fatigue in the legs, since he had been hopping around the keyboard typing, which now left him a bit out of breath.

However, when Ma Lu suggested he take a break, he wasn't having it. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he puffed out his chest proudly and said, "I can still argue, Boss Ma!"

Ma Lu gave a thumbs up, "What a warrior!" Explore more stories with empire

After praising him, he turned to ask Jigina at his side, "Do you have any more who are good at arguing like this in your group?"

"Seems like there is one more," Jigina thought for a moment and said, "MuMuNi, he usually engages in non-stop arguments with Uwu and Gu throughout the day, driving everyone else crazy."

"Good, that's settled then," Ma Lu made the decision, "Call him over too. That way we'll have both the dragon and the phoenix, and you two can take turns arguing and even rest in shifts."

However, upon hearing this, Uwu seemed a bit dissatisfied, "Boss Ma, I can do it alone. The main issue was that I couldn't go all out because you were discussing matters. If you weren't here, I'd use voice input to argue much faster, and we wouldn't need MuMuNi's help."

"No, I said two, so it will be two. Don't argue with me," Ma Lu retorted.

Seeing that Uwu was about to object again, with his neck stiffened, Jigina quickly gave him a signal. Two Valkyries then immediately stepped forward to cover his mouth and dragged him to the side.

Since the salary negotiation went smoothly, Ma Lu simply moved to his computer and drafted a labor contract based on the conditions they had previously agreed on.

After showing it to Jigina and Liliem for confirmation that there were no issues, he went to the print shop downstairs and printed three copies in one go.

He signed his name at the party A section, then handed it over to Jigina, who, representing the 124 Valkyrie People, also solemnly signed his name.

With this, the entire hiring process was completed.

Finally finding jobs in the big city and solving the most pressing survival issues of the advance team, Jigina was quite joyful. Along with the other Valkyrie People, they placed their hands on their hips and lifted their right legs, resting them against the inside of their left legs, and performed the traditional Turn in Circles ritual to express their gratitude to Ma Lu.

But soon after, Jigina's pose suddenly paused, and he stood in place, his face turning beet red.

Ma Lu thought he had a sudden illness and was quite worried, but the other Valkyrie People surrounding him seemed joyous and not in the slightest bit anxious.

"Jigina has just formed a precious memory worth passing down through the clan," a slightly older Valkyrie explained to Ma Lu.

"Oh, oh, oh," Ma Lu also remembered that the Valkyrie people have a tradition of memory inheritance, otherwise they would not remember Yan Wu.

And finding her first job in human society was obviously a memory that was very precious to Jigina.

At this moment, everyone's attention was on Jigina, so no one noticed her sister Liliem's pupils shake tremendously when she saw her brother consolidating his memory, followed by a fleeting look of panic on her face.

The process of memory consolidation was not long, just two or three seconds, and soon Jigina returned to normal and then left with the other Valkyrie people.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

As she was leaving, Liliem seemed to have something she wanted to say, deliberately lagging a few steps behind the others and glancing at Ma Lu, but in the end, she said nothing.

After the new employee's recruitment was handled, Ma Lu went to the market to replenish a batch of ingredients and then checked the meat supply in the tabletop cultivation field.

The scale of the tabletop cultivation field was slowly increasing, with the total weight of ingredients reaching 2,639 pounds, which was what was left after using 300 pounds of meat during yesterday's opening.

The total daily growth of ingredients was about 304 pounds, which seemed to be enough for the Universe Infinite Canteen's use.

But in reality, it didn't work out that way, as Ma Lu used mainly Black-Breasted Chicken and Crocodile Bullet Ant meat yesterday, along with some Link Hedgehog and Angular Belly Black Swift Snake bones for making the magical broth necessary for the Fragrant Yearning Konjac Noodles.

These ingredients were among those with stronger reproductive capabilities in the cultivation field, yet even so, they accounted for less than half of the total yield.

So the actual consumption rate was greater than their growth and reproduction rate.

Ma Lu calculated that at this rate, he could sell for about 6 more days before ingredients in the cultivation field would start to run out.

So, to ensure sustainable development of the cultivation field, it was necessary to restore The Universe's Number One Snack Stall's tradition of changing the menu periodically, and it would be best to also control the daily sales volume.

This way, the ingredients wouldn't be depleted too quickly, and he wouldn't have to exhaust himself every day.

Like yesterday, working non-stop from start to finish without rest was too much, even with the stamina-extending benefits of Athlete's Vegetable Medley.

However, considering it was the first day of the opening, it was understandable, and it should get better afterward.

After all, Ma Lu had significantly raised the prices after opening the shop, which would certainly lead to the loss of some customers, but it was unavoidable.

Otherwise, between choosing the shop, decorating, hiring staff, and owing a large amount of Star Currency debt, if the income was similar to what he made selling snacks, it would have been better to continue setting up a stall outside Aerospace University.

Of course, the increase in prices also raised the standards for the quality of the dishes.

Fortunately, Ma Lu was becoming increasingly adept at gathering ingredients.

And he received some good news on the second day of business.

Old Wang had accumulated enough experience to level up again, his Chef level rising from Level 3 to Level 4.

This meant that he had a 75% chance of improving the Deliciousness Index of a dish by half a star based on its original rating.

And if he improved by one more level, reaching Level 5, he would be able to consistently add stars to his dishes.

This news invigorated Ma Lu.

Additionally, after weighing his options, Ma Lu eventually chose to upgrade his equipment rather than buy a car.
