Traveling through various miniature worlds with a small restaurant

Chapter 134 The World of Ghosts and Monsters 1

The first benefit of binding with Moying quickly became apparent.

Lin Xiaoqian and his companions had only been in the cultivation world for nine days. They were practically complete novices when it came to cultivation.

How can anyone compare to Mo Ying, an old monster who has lived for nearly a thousand years in the world of cultivation?

Although Lin Xiaoqian brought magical tools and cultivation techniques for testing spiritual roots, cultivating immortality is not something that can be done in isolation; it requires the guidance and instruction of a master.

Although Mo Ying is a demon and his cultivation method is different from that of humans, he has lived a long time. Even if he hasn't eaten pork, he has seen pigs run. Teaching the cultivators of the Flower Kingdom how to get started and how to cultivate is a piece of cake for him.

Mo Ying was soon appointed as the dean of the Flower Kingdom Cultivation Academy. Of course, he was only responsible for teaching students how to cultivate, while other people were responsible for the miscellaneous affairs of the academy.

Nine days passed in a flash, and it was time to go to the next world. Lin Xiaoqian and the others gathered at the small restaurant.

Lin Xiaoqian looked around but didn't see Mo Ying.

"Huh? Hasn't Mo Ying arrived yet?"

Everyone looked around and shook their heads.

These days, very few people see Mo Ying, except for Lin Xiaoqian, who sees him once a day because she promised to cook braised chicken for him every day.

"My God, no way!" Jiang Shuang looked out of the shop and showed a horrified expression.

The others followed the gaze and stood there dumbfounded with the same expression.

A boy dressed in trendy clothes, wearing headphones, with dyed yellow perm hair, and a lollipop in his mouth, walked towards them while playing a game on his phone.

Lin Xiaoqian stared wide-eyed in disbelief. How could he have changed like this in just one day?

"Mo Ying?!"

The boy looked up at them, revealing that familiar boyish face.

"Hey, you guys are here so early. Wait until I finish this game."

Everyone had the same expression: an elderly man on the subway looking at his phone.

Lin Xiaoqian asked incredulously, "Are you really Mo Ying?"

Mo Ying quickly ended the game, put away her phone, and said with a puzzled look, "Of course it's me."

Then, excitedly showing them his phone, he exclaimed, "Your world is so amazing! This little box is tiny, yet it connects to the whole world, offering endless fun. Who do you think invented it?"

Lin Xiaoqian stopped his excitement and pointed at his clothes, asking, "Who dressed you like this?"

Mo Ying tilted her head in confusion: "I found it online myself, what? Is it not good?"

Well, Mo Ying's outfit is so trendy it almost gives her rheumatism a flare-up.

However, in Lin Xiaoqian and the others' minds, Mo Ying belonged to the type of handsome young man in ancient costumes, and this sudden change of appearance made it difficult for everyone to adapt.

Looking at Mo Ying's overly trendy outfit, Lin Xiaoqian said, "It's not that it looks bad, it's just that it's quite different from the image we have of you."

Jiang Shuang was already used to teasing Mo Ying, and she curled her lip from the side: "Hmph, it's neither fish nor fowl, all flash and no fish."

Mo Ying glared at Jiang Shuang with displeasure: "What do you know? This is fashion, you country bumpkin."

Jiang Shuang couldn't help but cover her face, suddenly realizing that arguing with the blond-haired guy was a bit childish.

"Alright, alright, it's almost time, we should go." Lin Xiaoqian quickly closed the shop door.

"Dimensional travel successful. Current world category: Ghost World"

Task: Sell 800 Peking ducks within ten days.

The recipe for Peking duck has been released!

Upon seeing the mission, Lin Xiaoqian quickly asked the system, "What kind of world is the Ghost World?"

The system only replied with four words: "Experience it for yourself."

Lin Xiaoqian told the others about the mission.

Zhuang Damao scratched his head: "Making roast duck, huh? Small change. How many ducks are in the warehouse?"

Lin Xiaoqian counted them and sighed, "There are five hundred. We still need to buy more in this world."

"No, didn't any of you notice that this is a world of ghosts and monsters?" Lin Xiaoqian pressed.

Zhuang Damao and the others all turned their gazes toward the internet-addicted blond-haired man standing to the side.

Mo Ying naturally sensed that others were watching him, so he looked up and put his phone in his pocket.

"Wait, I'll go scout ahead for you."

After saying that, he slowly walked to the shop entrance and opened the door.

It was raining heavily outside, and the raindrops pattered on the bluestone road, splashing up water droplets.

This is a dark and secluded alley, with a stone-paved path extending from the entrance to both sides as if it had no end.

Looking at the white walls and gray tiles at the entrance, it looks exactly like a typical Jiangnan-style building.

Mo Ying walked out, and the rain did not fall on him, as if there was an invisible barrier around him that kept the rain away from him.

A short while later, Mo Ying returned.

This world is somewhat similar to the original world. This time, the small restaurant is located in a quaint commercial district, but it is in a somewhat remote location, three streets away from the bustling areas.

The shop on the left was filled with incense, candles, and yellow paper, and funeral clothes were hanging on the wall, making it look like a funeral supplies store.

The shop on the right had its door closed, and I didn't know what it did.

However, according to Mo Ying's description, this street is a funeral street.

Lin Xiaoqian's face scrunched up; she'd really landed such a great spot.

As the system mentioned last time, the God of Cookery system has several strongholds in a small world, but which stronghold it lands in is random.

Does anyone usually come to this spot? Even if they do, they probably won't be here to buy roast duck.

Will she still be able to sell her roast ducks?

The heavy rain was still falling outside. The gloomy weather and the pattering sound added an eerie atmosphere to the alley.

Lin Xiaoqian sighed and got up to go to the kitchen.

Never mind all that for now, let's make a batch of roast duck first. Maybe the aroma will attract some hungry customers.

The ducks in the warehouse were all gutted and freshly processed before being put in. When they were taken out, their bodies were still slightly warm.

Lin Xiaoqian boiled a large pot of water and carefully poured it over each duck, evenly, to make the duck skin shrink and tighten.

Next, make the crispy skin glaze by mixing maltose and water at 30-40 degrees Celsius in a 1:40 ratio. After the maltose dissolves, pour it evenly over the duck.

Finally, hang the duck up with hooks to air dry. This process takes several hours. The duck can be roasted only when it turns a darker color and feels very dry.

Lin Xiaoqian made more than a hundred ducks in one go. Before long, the kitchen was filled with rows of white ducks, a rather spectacular sight.
