Chapter 87 Oh my god!
While Yu Wang was looking down at the menu, the seal man pretended to help tidy up the cutlery rack on the table, leaned forward slightly, and "inadvertently" swiped his finger along the edge of Yu Wang's coat pocket!
!!
There's no mistake! This is the textured feel of it!
The seal's mind went blank! Its breath caught in its throat, and its heart pounded wildly!
Good heavens! This is terrible!!
Not daring to delay, I hurriedly ran to get the gifts, pre-meal snacks, and corn silk tea that were supposed to be given to the guests.
Before long, a small pile had formed in front of Yu Wang's table.
A quick glance revealed that there were green-quality items among them.
The seal barely managed to maintain his composure, quickly jotting down the order, his voice slightly unsteady: "Please, please wait a moment, the dishes will be prepared shortly—the condiment station is under the table."
After saying that, he almost staggered and walked quickly toward the kitchen, but instead of handing out menus, he turned a corner and headed straight for the manager's office!
The manager was a plump beaver with a round body, who was checking yesterday's transaction records with an abacus.
"Manager! No, something bad has happened!" The sealman rushed in, his voice low and urgent.
"What's the panic? The merman princess is eating here, don't let her see us and make a fool of herself! Speak slowly." The fat beaver manager raised his head and pushed up his crystal glasses.
"Environmental inspectors! The environmental inspectors are here!!" The seal-man gestured excitedly!
"What?!" The fat beaver manager's face changed drastically, his glasses falling off in shock. He jumped to his feet: "Are you sure? Is this reasonable?!"
"They just came for a routine check last month! They even chose this place for the little princess's birthday party, clearly very satisfied. How could this be—"
"This must be a secret inspection! I've confirmed it, it's that emblem!" the seal-man exclaimed eagerly.
The fat beaver manager immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
The fish-men are a large and prosperous clan, with so many members that they could elevate their ancestor to the position of a first-level god, demonstrating their immense power. The strength of that ancestor even surpasses that of the God of Food behind the hot pot restaurant.
If environmental inspectors find any major problems, that branch is finished!
Before he could even ponder who he had offended, the fish-man environmental organization had launched a surprise attack. The fat beaver manager quickly regained his composure, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes. He patted the seal-man on the shoulder, "Excellent! You've done a great job! Go back immediately and keep him calm! Get the service up to par! I'll arrange it right away! Your work ability is commendable; I'll find you a supervisor afterwards, Dangdang!"
"Yes, Manager!" The sealman's spirits lifted, all his previous dissatisfaction vanished. What was a little tip? A promotion and a raise were the most important things!
A higher position means gaining higher-level abilities after becoming a follower of the God of Food!
As soon as the young seal left, the fat beaver manager, like a wound-up toy, unleashed astonishing agility from his obese body. He rushed out of the manager's office, his voice low as he growled at his trusted subordinates: "Quick! Notify everyone! Instantly and thoroughly inspect every corner of the kitchen! Chase away all the seagulls and rats that have sneaked in—no! Dispose of them! Clean up the kitchen waste piled up at the back door immediately! Don't hide it, eat it all and digest it! Absolutely no trace left!!"
Also, immediately hang the latest equipment cleaning record sheet and environmental treatment log in the most conspicuous place!
Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Get moving!
The most basic supernatural ability gained from worshipping the God of Food, Umur, is an iron stomach capable of digesting everything.
Oil, fish bones, stones—anything can be eaten, everything can be digested and transformed into energy to nourish oneself.
For a boss, this ability has many benefits and obvious advantages.
Some places openly state in their job postings that "those who are believers in the God of Food, those who can endure hardship, and those who can eat junk food will be given priority in hiring."
This saves on flushing water, reduces toilet paper consumption, and reduces employees' downtime.
If necessary, employees can be forced to eat and digest the smelly garbage, as the current beaver manager has demanded, to completely solve potential environmental problems.
Of course, this tactic should only be used when absolutely necessary, as it can easily lead to getting yourself trapped.
Yu Wang had just finished playing with the few trinkets that had been given as gifts and was assessing their actual value when the seal waiter, who had previously looked reluctant, had now composed himself and, with two more robust-looking sea lion companions who appeared somewhat distressed, trotted back to the table.
This time, his smile was radiant, and he looked at Yu Wang as if he were looking at a god of wealth.
The seal waiter bowed slightly and said, "Honorable guest! I have just confirmed with other branches that you are the first guest to use a set meal voucher personally issued by the God of Cookery since the restaurant opened!"
This meal is on the house. Following the highest level of hospitality, we will now immediately process your Black Sea membership!
He gestured, and a sea lion follower behind him immediately presented a delicate wooden box.
Inside is a miniature version of the "Guo Di Lao" restaurant decoration.
"Please register your identity using the first blood sample above. Afterwards, you will enjoy priority service, private rooms, new product tastings, priority purchasing of limited ingredients, and free gifts at all 'Guodi Lao' branches!!"
Zhang Xinlan, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but purse her lips in the private chat channel and complained to Wang: "Actually, I still prefer to see him roll his eyes to the sky and look so arrogant."
The three ducks were so engrossed in eating that they didn't even have time to quack.
Yu Wang smiled but didn't say anything, and dripped blood onto the ornament.
This is indeed just an identity record. If someone is a "Guo Di Lao" member, the staff will react quickly and prepare to welcome them when the boat stops.
At the very least, members will never be allowed to enter through the side door.
The seal waiter gestured to his assistant to hurry up and serve the dishes, telling him not to get in the way. He himself stayed at the table, becoming even more attentive by refilling tea and water, and explaining the various hidden benefits of membership. Seeing that the fruit platter on the table was about to be finished by the ducks, he immediately went to get a new one.
Yu Wang was inspecting the free gifts.
Aside from the free snacks, there are two items among these freebies that can be considered props. They are not as luxurious as the later freebies, but their abilities are very practical.
Cooling spray
[Quality: White]
【Functions: Moisturizing, continuous cooling】
[Description: After spraying, it can create a cool microclimate that lasts for about 30 minutes in a small area, effectively reducing the perceived temperature by 5-10°C and maintaining air humidity. It is remarkably effective in resisting high temperatures, preventing heatstroke, and relieving discomfort in hot environments.]
[Description: "Guo Di Lao" is a patented formula spray developed for temperature-sensitive customers such as those of the Glacier Fish-Man and Cold-Water Clan. It is made with deep-sea ice spring essence and a stabilizing magical cooling agent, providing a refreshing and invigorating effect. Not for drinking.]
[Durability: 100%]
[Little Yellow Duck Water Gun]
[Quality: Green]
[Function: Can be filled with liquid for spraying. Range approximately 30 meters. Features three modes: single shot, three-round burst, and automatic fire, equipped with ballistic correction and automatic aiming capabilities.]
[Description: Children's toy!? No! Its appearance is deceptive, and that's your chance!]
Remember, the water you spit out isn't necessarily just water.
[The God of Cookery's Gift: Mini Figurines]
【quality:--】
[Description: A small, smiling, chubby furnace figurine. This is a special gift prepared by "Hot Pot Hot Pot" for first-time human customers. Sincerely offering delicious food to the figurine may earn you the attention of the "God of Food" and the opportunity to become his follower. (Note: Faith requires sincerity, offerings must be continuous, and divine favor is not cheap.)]
"The God of Food figurine—it can actually be obtained with just one purchase at the beginning."
Yu Wang's heart stirred slightly. This was somewhat different from his memories of his previous life.
He recalled that when he first came to Guodi Lao, he needed to accumulate spending to reach the "Black Sea Member" standard in order to obtain the ticket to become a follower of the God of Cookery.
At that time, the "Guo Di Lao" branch was more luxuriously decorated, the service was impeccable, and the entry requirements were much higher.
"It seems that in the early stages of the game, many rules and acquisition methods are relatively lenient; now it's indeed the recruitment period." Yu Wang understood. This is like the launch benefits of a game, attracting the first batch of potential customers.
Later, when things got better, they set up barriers to entry for these free gifts, especially two props, which were quite practical.
Especially the cooling mist; the water temperature along a section of the First Sea is particularly high, and some parts of the water even boil. When the boat is on it, it's like floating on a dumpling.
With this item, things will be more comfortable in the early stages before air conditioning is available.
The "Little Yellow Duck Water Gun" can consume excessive amounts of monster drops.
Many of the dropped items were corrosive, making them perfect as ammunition.
Seeing that Yu Wang seemed quite satisfied with the complimentary gift, the waiter's smile widened. Just as he was about to say something more, the little princess's birthday party nearby seemed to reach a small climax, bursting out with bursts of joyful laughter and blessings.
Yu Wang's basic ability as a "monster merchant" allowed him to sense the aura of wealth emanating from the area. The little princess's wealth must be unimaginable; the pocket money she casually scatters might be all the money he could earn by mowing grass all night. The green luxury ships moored outside probably also belong to her.
If it were a fully-fledged monster merchant, it would definitely be unable to resist the temptation of wealth at this point and would try to get close to him in search of opportunities.
Meanwhile, Yu Wang and Zhang Xinlan were engrossed in inhaling the fumes as if no one else was around.
The aura of wealth wafting over only makes the food in the bowl taste even sweeter.
In the blink of an eye, they ate more than the three ducks that had started eating earlier combined.
In no time, all the food included in the family meal was gone.
Zhang Xinlan put the last slice of beef roll, coated in rich sesame sauce and minced garlic, into her mouth, chewing it with satisfaction. With tears in her eyes, she let out a heartfelt sigh: "Ah, this is the taste! I miss it so much."
Yu Wang had already picked up the menu, thinking about what else to order.
After my physical fitness improved, my appetite naturally increased, and now I can only barely eat until I'm half full.
Zhang Xinlan raised her hand: "I can probably eat four more plates of tripe, two plates of fatty lamb leg, and three plates of snowflake beef. Hmm, that's too much meat. Let's have a vegetable platter instead."
Duck: Quack quack x3
Anyway, this meal is free. Who knows when I'll get another chance to try "Guo Di Lao" (a type of hot pot), so I'm definitely going to eat my fill this time!
When adrift at sea, there is no shortage of seafood; you can eat fish, shrimp, crab, and shellfish until you're sick of it.
On the contrary, these four-legged land-based ingredients—fatty beef, lamb, various mushrooms, wide rice noodles, and bean products—are particularly precious and rare.
Moreover, these foods are of good quality, and a significant portion of them can increase a person's attributes after being eaten.
Adding 0.1% can directly increase the dosage, while even a small amount can cause noticeable muscle soreness, as if tiny electric currents are coursing through the muscle fibers.
That large table just now, with its two people and various other things, added up to about 1.2 attribute points.
Zhang Xinlan felt both pain and joy. The thought of having to train hard again after returning home to fully digest what she had learned made the marbled beef in her mouth taste even more delicious!
After Yu Wang had eaten and drunk his fill, he checked the panel.
Captain: Yu Wang
[Titles: Veteran Foodie (Currently Wearing), Pioneer (Limited Time), Eye-Catching Bag II]
[Effect: Increases the buffs gained from eating by 20%. The probability of a mental boost is significantly increased when eating.]
[Extraordinary Path: Monster Merchant]
[Skill: Wealth Perception]
Qi and Blood: 100%
Power: 5.66
Physical condition: 6.49

Rationality: 100/100
Physical strength: 98% (Feeling a little tired after eating)
After gulping down two tables of food, the two finally slowed down their eating pace, savoring the amazing freshness of the ingredients and the rich, complex flavor of the broth.
The success of "Later Hot Pot" is not only due to its association with the God of Cookery and the large number of people willing to pay for it, but also to the fact that its own taste has stood the test of time.
Just then, the little princess at the table in front, surrounded by numerous servants and staff as if she were the center of attention, seemed to have heard something interesting and novel. Suddenly, she turned her head, and her pair of emerald green eyes, like gemstones formed from the purest seawater, looked directly at Yu Wang and his group with undisguised curiosity.
