Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month.

Chapter 288 Breakthrough in popularity and welcome special guests
Then.

What the housekeeper Afu needs to do is very clear.

As Hua Shao's confidant, he must contact the powerful existence in the pedestrian street to see if there is any opportunity for alliance and cooperation.

Forming an alliance with any powerful partner will help Hua Shaowei fight against the thugs and add a heavy bargaining chip.

Ah Fu smiled and said:
"I wonder which ingredient in our store is the most expensive?"

As soon as these words came out, Wang Jing couldn't help but be slightly stunned. He glanced at Chen Ye out of the corner of his eye, as if he wanted to get some hints.

The meaning of Ah Fu's words is already obvious.

Naturally, I want to see if the strength of "Integrity Restaurant" is strong enough.

The simplest and most direct way to prove whether a restaurant in a strange era is capable is to see what it can get with the most high-end and precious ingredients.

After all, cooking skills can be improved based on characteristics, but to survive in this world, the source of ingredients is more scarce and difficult.

therefore……

When Afu mentioned the most expensive ingredients, it already represented the underlying meaning of his words.

The corners of Chen Ye's lips raised slightly, and he sent a message to Wang Jing with his talent of [Research on Blood Letters]:

"Prepare dragon fish for him, the price is ten silver coins per catty."

Dragon fish?

The moment Wang Jing heard this ingredient, he was completely stunned.

and many more……

This ingredient, placed in the city of destiny, seems to be one of the top and most expensive ingredients, right?
Arowana contains a trace of dragon blood, but even just a trace can make the rarity, preciousness, and difficulty of catching this species rise to the top level.

Especially when the Xijiang River is polluted, the blood in the dragon fish can slightly reduce the pollution level.

Although contamination cannot be completely eliminated, for the ingredients, even if the degree of contamination is not that high, for the [chef], the deliciousness of the ingredients can be brought out to a greater extent, including the processing process, which will be much simpler.

Therefore, arowana is almost the ingredient that most players whose main occupation is [chef] at this stage are dreaming of getting.

Things are rare.

If you want to eat arowana, almost only the most top-level banquets can eat this level of dishes.

Even restaurants of Qinglongtang level may not be able to serve arowana.

"Boss, do we have ingredients like arowana in our store? When did it happen?" Wang Jing was a little confused and just wanted to reply to a text message and ask.

As a result, the transaction request of [Weird Black Market] popped up directly on the bloody phone.

This request naturally came from Chen Ye.

The black market, in fact, fulfills the function of a trading platform, and bypasses the equivalence theorem.

If players want to send some items to players, they can do it directly through the Blood Phone, and the process is also convenient.

Wang Jing just opened the transaction panel and was immediately shocked by the information above.

[Trading Item: Dragon Fish x252]

[Trader: Chen Ye]

[The other party has confirmed the transaction item. If both parties confirm it at the same time, the transaction can be completed. 】

"Boss, where did you get so many dragon fish?" Wang Jing was completely dumbfounded.

With so many arowanas, might they have robbed an arowana nest?
and many more……

The boss has been exploring the underground world these days. Where did he find the time to salvage arowana and get so many goods?

This sudden appearance shattered Wang Jing's outlook.

I have a deeper understanding of the magic of my boss.

Actually...

These ingredients are seafood that Ajiaka and other Poseidon descendants returned to the Xijiang River not long ago and used the ghost ship to go to sea and salvaged.

Of course, although the fish in the sea are all a group of friends in the eyes of the children of Poseidon.

But this group of friends have all mutated...

Mutated friends are no longer such friends.

Coupled with the current lack of food, the Poseidon tribe agreed to go out to sea to salvage seafood for consumption.

in……

Because Chen Ye found many homeless people as labor force, they joined in the restoration work of Xijiang Park.

The Sea God Clan also needs to develop in the near future.

Therefore, a part of the relatively high-quality labor force was selected and joined in the sailor trade.

Of course, Chen Ye also has some credit here.

at the same time……

Agaka has already regarded Chen Ye as the new generation patriarch of the Sea God Clan. Although it is only in name, he still has to show something, right?
So, a whole sack of arowana was given directly to Chen Ye through President Tang Wu's trading function.

Chen Ye naturally did not receive these benefits in vain.

He agreed to help the Sea Gods process these ingredients for a period of time in the future.

In fact, it also helps the manufacturing association solve the issue of food safety.

Now that the Poseidon clan is working under Tang Wu, they need a huge canteen to feed so many workers.

If you want to maintain such a large amount of food and keep it running, food processing is essential.

The only player who can handle a large amount of ingredients with such high efficiency is Chen Ye.

These arowanas can be easily caught by the Poseidon Tribe, who are always good at fishing. They are not considered valuable goods, but for players, they are top-notch ingredients and cannot be eaten by ordinary people. .

During Tang Wu's transaction, he felt envious when he saw such a large amount of hidden wealth being collected by Chen Ye.

But there is no way... His occupation is a [artisan], not a [cook]. These ingredients are useless in his own hands, and he can't just sell them to Qinglongtang.

The reason why arowana is precious is because it is rare.

If you sell a large amount to other players and destroy the market supply and demand, you may not be able to sell it for such a high price.

Moreover, these are the trophies salvaged by the children of Poseidon. Naturally, they have the final say on how to deal with them.

To be able to give Chen Ye so many arowanas...

Tang Wu also felt envious from the bottom of his heart!
At this moment, Wang Jing obtained more than 200 dragon fish through trading...

He turned his head and faced Ah Fu, his expression suddenly became more confident, he crossed his arms and said calmly:

"I'm afraid you may not be able to afford the most expensive ingredients in our store!"

"Oh?" Ah Fu laughed meaningfully, "Could it be that you can make gold into food?"

"This ingredient is probably more precious than gold coins!" Wang Jing smiled mysteriously.

Ah Fu seemed to be interested, but he did not take the initiative to ask. Instead, he smiled and waited for Wang Jing to continue.

Wang Jing coughed lightly and said seriously:
"Arowana caviar, worth ten gold coins, let's put on an arowana feast!"

When he heard the word "dragon fish", Ah Fu's expression became a little moved.However, he suddenly reacted and his expression gradually became brighter.

As the personal butler of the richest young master in the entire City of Destiny, he certainly knows top-notch ingredients such as arowana.

but……

What Wang Jing is talking about is not arowana, but caviar!
You must know that the dragon fish contains the blood of the dragon clan, and the difficulty of racial reproduction is relatively high.

This makes arowana caviar more difficult to obtain than ten arowanas.

However, with the king's will, at the cost of ten gold coins, he can actually have a feast of dragon and fish?

To be able to host a grand banquet, the amount of arowana caviar must be indispensable, and dozens of different ways of making arowana must be added to make it a grand banquet.

The value of ten gold coins alone is equivalent to one hundred thousand copper coins when converted at normal exchange rates.

It was almost bankrupt to have such a meal.

Even if it costs money, that's not how it is spent!
not to mention……

Gold coins are even rarer in the current City of Destiny and are almost linked to characteristic items.

Even the top wealthy people may not be willing to generously pay gold coins as bargaining chips for transactions.

Today's gold coins are more valuable than collectibles, and they are almost never used for trading unless absolutely necessary.

This time it was Ah Fu's turn to fall into silence...

He never expected that "Integrity Restaurant" would be so powerful. Not only could it produce top-quality ingredients like arowana, it could also produce arowana caviar!

This at least means that this restaurant has access to a large amount of this ingredient.

The meaning behind it is naturally self-evident.

If you can't come up with something, it's like hitting yourself in the face with a brick!
After all, it always feels pretentious to ask others what the top ingredients are.

If you can't pretend...

The consequences would be ugly!
"Can't you pay with copper coins?" Ah Fu pondered for a moment, moved his lips, and could only ask this sentence.

Wang Jing smiled slightly and said: "This is the most precious ingredient in our restaurant. Since it is called the most precious ingredient, how can those scraps of metal be exchanged for luxury?"

"You make sense." Ah Fu found himself speechless to retort, so he could only say, "I need to make a call, please wait a moment."

At this moment, Ah Fu's title has quietly changed.

This shows that he recognizes the strength of "Integrity Restaurant" in his heart.

"Well done."

Chen Ye smiled slightly and was satisfied with Wang Jing's attitude.

So many arowanas are enough to make arowana caviar.

It's just an ordinary dragon fish. If forces like Qinglongtang spend some money, it's not difficult to get it.

After all, it's just food.

As long as you invest enough, money can make a difference.

But the meaning of arowana caviar is different!

It takes a huge number of arowanas to get caviar and then put on a grand feast.

Only with this kind of style can he be worthy of the most expensive dish of "Integrity Restaurant".

He looked at Ah Fu, picked up the phone, and was typing on the keyboard with a smile on his face.

Naturally, I saw that the other party was contacting the richest young man behind the scenes to ask for instructions.

If it was just a simple one hundred thousand copper coins, then Ah Fu might still be able to make the decision himself.

But when it comes to gold coins...it's hard to say!
You need to ask Hua Shao himself for instructions.

I wonder if the richest young master is willing to be extravagant just to have a top-notch feast?
There was a lesson learned last month...

"Then wait for the good news."

Chen Ye looked at the back of Ah Fu pressing the keyboard of the mobile phone, leaning on the back seat of the soft sofa, raised the wine glass in front of him, shook it gently, and tasted the blood-thick [Bloody Mary] in the glass gracefully.

…………

Pedestrian Street, Financial Building.

Mr. Hua read the report in his hand with a solemn expression, and frowned more and more when he saw the information and information about the thugs reported by his subordinates.

"In the entire City of Destiny, there are no more than a hundred third-level professions that can obtain information."

"But the mob alone is an organizational force, and there are already more than 20 third-level professions stationed at the entrance to the underground world..."

"The job of guarding the entrance will naturally not be left to the most elite cadres."

"Then, according to the most conservative estimate, the thugs also have four career changes."

"What kind of method will allow this organizational force to develop at such a scale?"

"Even if you have powerful aboriginal people on your back, it's not an ordinary existence that can provide such strong support."

The document Mr. Hua received came from a confidant in the company who had a fourth-level profession, the 'Assassin' sequence, and his profession was [Stealth Walker].

This old man was his father's most trusted confidant during his lifetime. He had no intention of usurping him, and he served Hua Shao wholeheartedly.

Therefore, the authenticity of the intelligence data obtained from him is particularly credible.

There are so many third-level professions within the mob. They definitely did not exist at the beginning, but gradually developed later.

He knew the history of the development of thugs. At the beginning, these bastards were just a ragtag group that hung around Mink Street and fought all the time. They were not worthy of his attention at all.

But just recently, the sudden merger of the mob and the unprecedented expansion have attracted the attention of players throughout the City of Destiny.

With such a rapid development speed, if given time, it will soon surpass the company that Hua Shao relies on.

In that way...

I am no longer the only young master in the City of Destiny!
Maybe this group of thugs will take a fancy to their company's wealth and plunder it, which will cause a lot of trouble.

Hua Shao knows better that players are the biggest threat to his company.

They need resources, they need living space, and they need to continue to become stronger. They do not have the aboriginal mentality of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. They are more proficient in mastering strategies, and they also have bloody mobile phones as a huge intelligence network...

With its vast estates and vast wealth, it was hard not to be a target for the mob.

Mr. Hua rubbed his brows and couldn't help but feel a headache due to this month's strategy.

The information about the first one on the list, 'Shenli Yinghua', has not been found so far. On the contrary, it has frequently killed strong competitors, such as manufacturing associations and thugs, who will pose a threat to itself.

We cannot just rely on the power of the company. We must use these resources to expand and develop in order to maintain a stable weapon of confrontation and deal with the increasingly powerful mob organizations.

at this time……

The blood-colored mobile phone in his pocket suddenly made a crisp notification sound.

Mr. Hua frowned, picked up the red cell phone and looked at it, and found that it was a message from his personal butler Ah Fu.

"Integrity Restaurant? An arowana feast worth ten gold coins?"
