Chapter 534: The Weird Rules of the West Street Cake Shop
At night, the pedestrian street becomes more deserted than ever.
"You come directly to me."
Chen Ye entered the spiritual world by playing the suona, summoned the [Boat of the Other Shore], and carried Wang Jing and others back to the shop through this safest passage.
When leaving East Street, he saw the blood-colored halo of luck nearby, which was getting stronger and stronger, and he couldn't help but frown:
"It's been getting more and more unsettled recently..."
He recalled what Shenli Yinghua said that there would be a huge disaster that would sweep across the entire City of Destiny.
As for what will happen...it's hard to say.
Using the spirit world passage, traveling through several ripples, he quickly returned to West Street.
At this time, Chen Ye saw that there were actually various bloody halos around West Street, lingering faintly.
All signs indicate that this city is no longer safe.
After sending Wang Jing and Shen Meng safely back to the store...
They began to take charge of the operation of the main store today, and produced some S-level and above dishes, preparing to bring them to East Street and start business tomorrow.
After all, there were too many guests on East Street. After being tired all day, Wang Jing finally managed to entertain all these guests.
Preparations must now be made in advance.
Fortunately... Xiaoxiao was very considerate and lent the chefs in Tongfu Inn to Chen Ye. Otherwise, he might not be able to cope with so many diners.
But the small Tongfu Inn also has to do business, and it is impossible to come to help Chen Ye every day.
Therefore, Wang Jing needs to make more delicious food tonight, and then make full preparations for the business on East Street tomorrow.
But...
Today, there don’t seem to be as many customers in the main store as we thought before.
After all, the main store now adopts a reservation system. Logically speaking, some diners should be present, but now they have not come...
Of course, their deposit has already been paid and turned into Chen Ye's asset value, so even if they don't come, it will not cause a reduction in turnover, but will be able to receive more diners.
But Chen Ye didn't mess around like that. After all, his main store still needed to build some reputation.
Now, where he really makes money is no longer in the main store area on West Street, but in the restaurant on East Street.
The main store is more about maintaining its popularity among the player groups, and at the same time laying a sufficient asset foundation on West Street.
"I can finally relax a little today."
Mizi showed a rare working-class smile... Oh no... To be precise, it should be a working-class smile.
After all, as a part-time worker, doing rare things means you can fish.
There are not too many guests today, so it is more suitable for a quieter environment. Take advantage of this atmospheric dining environment to enjoy a refreshing Bloody Mary.
Therefore, Yako did not continue to dance today. She was only responsible for making a few cups of bloody Mary that were delicious and as rich as blood. She was then responsible for serving the dishes to the guests, showing that professional smile, and after a little reception, she felt very relaxed. .
When there are not that many guests, just deal with it casually and you can get the job done, which is much easier than before.
In fact.
The main store does not have so many customers, which is also a good thing for the development of "Integrity Restaurant". After all, more time can be used for the East Street side to prepare more cuisines. to earn greater turnover.
However, as to why West Street suddenly became a lot cooler...
If I remember correctly, today is still Friday. Logically speaking, there should be a lot of passenger traffic on a night without night, but looking at the entire street, it is quite deserted. There is only a faint gray fog floating in the sky, which is chaotic. And noisy.
as well as……
In the main restaurant of "Integrity Restaurant", many customers who should have arrived have not yet arrived today.
Chen Ye frowned slightly. He saw several rich bloody lights near the street, which were very bright.
However, this bloody disaster was not aimed at the "Integrity Restaurant".
After all, the evaluation and reputation of "Integrity Restaurant" among players have reached its peak now. Relying on "Meeting Friends through Food", there are many big bosses who know that there are many villains who secretly care about "Integrity Restaurant".
In order to have the same good food in the future, they all said in the forum: "Whoever dares to target Chengxin Restaurant will definitely launch the largest intelligence team and dig out wherever their hometown is!"
Therefore, few players now dare to take action against "Integrity Restaurant".
There are faint traces of blood mist in these shops nearby. It can be seen that they must be related to some dark plans.
"You are here to look after the store. If there are no special circumstances, it is best not to walk out casually."
"I'll go outside to see the specific situation."
Chen Ye gave Wang Jing and Shen Meng a few words, and then, under the cover of night, blended into the darkness.
He quickly approached a cake shop filled with a faint light of blood.
If I remember correctly, when the Weird Era first came, there was a forum about the cake shop on West Street.
It is said that the food inside is free to eat, and after eating, it will become a part of it and be assimilated by it.
When Chen Ye approached the cake shop, as expected, the window inside was shining with warm candlelight. There was a sign at the door of the shop, which read:
"All cakes in the shop are free to eat, but please don't waste them. You need to eat them all before leaving!"
Just then, a homeless man entered the West Street Cake Shop. He looked around greedily, and then began to inspect.
The moment he smelled the fragrance of the cake, his expression immediately became distorted, like a beast that had not eaten for three days and three nights.
The next second...
The mouth of the homeless man suddenly began to burst open, rolling all the cakes here into his mouth and swallowing them down.
Crack! Crack!
As the creepy sound sounded, the homeless man was chewing the cakes in the cake shop frantically. He ate a piece, but it was still not enough, and he kept eating...
However, the cakes in the window seemed to be endless.
After eating one, a new cake continued to grow.
As he ate...
The homeless man's stomach was already swollen, like a glutton.
His stomach now occupied three times its volume, like an inflated balloon...
The homeless man was obviously in pain and could not eat any more.
However, he seemed to be influenced by the instinct of seeking benefits and avoiding harm. He did not dare to disobey the rules of the West Street Cake Shop. He continued to move his swollen body, stretched his neck, approached the cake, and tried hard to bite it.
Finally... the homeless man's mouth reached the cake, and the moment he bit it...
Bang bang bang!!!
His entire belly burst open instantly, and a large amount of cake jumped out of his stomach.
Each piece of cake was stained with blood.
As if given life, they began to crawl around nearby.
These cakes lay on the homeless man's body and laughed strangely.
Crack! Crack!
The next second...
The cake made a chewing sound, and soon, the homeless man's huge body disappeared, and turned into a cake that was also covered with blood. It crawled on the counter and continued to arrange it obediently.
Under the illumination of the warm light, the bloodstains gradually disappeared, and turned into a cake covered with cream, which looked delicious.
The West Street Cake Shop regained its tranquility.
The standing sign still read "Please taste for free", but the handwriting looked a little more weird and bright red, which was extremely strange.
"So that's it."
Chen Ye's mouth curled up slightly, and he had already seen how this West Street Cake Shop operated.
First, the method of "seeking benefits and avoiding harm" was used to attract hungry homeless people, who were tempted by the aroma of food and "free" and entered the cake shop.
However, the rule is that you need to eat all the cakes to break the rule.
But the number of these cakes is not as simple as it seems on the surface. If it is just an ordinary glutton, it will not be able to finish them.
Once the rules cannot be fulfilled, they will be turned into cakes in the shop under the explosion of the rules.
Therefore, this cake shop is constantly attracting new diners, and then turning these diners into delicious food for new diners.
Strictly speaking... this cake shop is a copy...
After all, such characteristics will form a weird rule of continuous killing, and more twisted characteristics are needed to support such rules.
The strategy is similar to a copy, and the rewards that are exploded are basically more.
The next second...
Chen Ye stepped forward and entered the cake shop on West Street directly.
Click! Click!
At this moment, the lights of the cake shop suddenly became dim.
The moment he entered the shop, the warm light suddenly seemed to be covered with a layer of light blood mist.
When Chen Ye entered here, the cake inside suddenly began to tremble, as if sensing something very scary.
The next second... all these cakes suddenly disappeared...
A figure wearing a white chef's uniform, holding a kitchen knife, and with a relatively broad figure, stood at the counter, with an honest and kind smile on his face.
"Sir, what would you like to eat?"
The Western chef said with a fake smile.
Chen Ye walked over slowly and said, "Aren't the cakes here eaten at will? Why are there no cakes?"
"Sold out."
The owner of the cake shop said calmly, "Business is too good, all the cakes in the store have been eaten, and there are no more now."
"Oh?" Chen Ye showed an interesting smile, "Then why did I see your cake shop full of cakes when I walked in?"
The owner of the cake shop smiled and said, "Sir, you must have seen it wrong, where are the cakes? Business is so good, we have already finished them."
"Really?"
Chen Ye smiled coldly.
He was too lazy to talk nonsense with the cake shop owner. This guy was only at the third level. Even with the rule domain, he would not be his opponent.
The next second, as the long sword cut out a dark light, accompanied by the blessing of the [Space System] characteristic, he chopped towards the cake shop owner.
Boom! ! !
The terrifying space cracks suddenly spread all around, shredding the entire shop into pieces.
However, the moment the knife struck, the cake shop owner disappeared instantly.
Only a white piece of clothing was left, which looked like it had been chopped into countless pieces by the magic knife, floating everywhere.
"Ran?"
Chen Ye smiled coldly. His pupil of luck had already locked onto a dark black and red ink dot with an outline that looked like an octopus, and he chased it out of the cake shop.
"You can't do anything to me within the realm. If you go out of the realm, do you still want to escape from my grasp?"
…………
At this time, it was a dark night, and the crimson moonlight in the night sky was shining down, making the earth a deep red, as if it was covered with a layer of blood.
In a relatively cold, narrow, and hidden commercial street on West Street, an ink-colored figure that looked like an octopus floated in mid-air and quickly shuttled into an alley.
This commercial street can be regarded as a place between the surrounding shopping malls. Some alleys have been found. The rent of the shops is not particularly high. Of course, the location is not close to the central area of the big shopping mall. The traffic is so rich, but through the ancient buildings, there are also surrounding areas. The various food stalls lined up can be regarded as creating a unique commercial snack street. During the day, the traffic is relatively large.
In the dark night, this snack street should have more diners gathering here and continuing to sell snacks.
But tonight, the whole street seemed unusually cold.
It just gave the octopus a chance to get in.
Just when this jet-black octopus was floating in the air, shuttling through the dark alleys, with the shops behind him getting further and further away, and just when he thought he was about to escape, he suddenly stopped.
At the end of the alley, a figure holding a long knife appeared. Under the crimson moonlight, it looked particularly eerie.
"It's so slow... You're finally here. I've been waiting here for a long time."
Chen Ye smiled.
"Why do you want to kill me to death?"
The cake shop owner let out a roar, which could be heard. Although he tried his best to roar as loudly as possible, he still felt great fear and roared very tremblingly, intermittently, as if he was about to die at any time.
Chen Ye smiled and said, "Why? You opened such a black shop near my shop and ate up all my customers. Then why do you think I should trouble you?"
"You'd better be merciful."
At this moment, from behind the dark alley, a woman wearing red clothes, with bloodstains hanging from the corners of her mouth, and her body half floating in the air suddenly appeared.
The woman glared at Chen Ye fiercely and said:
"We are completing the great cause of reincarnation. This is not something you can stop. If you don't want to offend an existence that you can't afford to offend, then walk away!"
