Chapter 436 Making a grand appearance
"nailed it."
After arranging everything, Fan Wei walked out of the icehouse alone and gave Luo Na and Chen Hui a handsome smile.
Two fierce battles were fought in one day, which was not intentional, but the effect was very good.
First, his reputation was firmly established, and then anyone who wanted to cause trouble for Fan Wei would have to think twice.
Secondly, there is the effect of practicing "Divine Body Forging," which rapidly transforms practical experience into power, and the feeling of fullness within the body brings a clear understanding.
He seems to have already reached the next level of power!
When ordinary abilities reach their limit, the next step is to turn the key to legend and step into the realm of the extraordinary!
Fan Wei hasn't decided what path he'll take in the future, but perhaps after the New Year, he'll need to explore the deeper parts of the maze.
The six-layered labyrinth that yields the Legendary Key, along with its fourth and fifth layers, are areas he hasn't explored yet; the labyrinth still holds many secrets waiting to be discovered...
My thoughts drifted away until my companions approached.
"not bad."
Lorna still looked like she knew this all along and was confident of victory, saying, "Although you weren't able to use your expertise, it's still commendable that you managed to subdue someone."
The businesswoman was extremely satisfied with Fan Wei, and she increasingly admired her cousin's shrewd judgment!
Capable in both offense and defense, highly skilled, and with a compatible personality, she's truly a rare gem!
No matter where you are, wealth is always linked to power, and even the most shrewd businessman needs a reliable partner, and Fan Wei is the perfect fit.
"My specialty?"
Misr Van was puzzled, but then his tone became excited, "Let's not talk about that for now. I have a big plan that I need your help with."
The head chef is already making plans for the upcoming New Year's activities.
To meet the demand of hundreds of thousands or even millions of people for a holiday event, just getting people together is a huge problem; it's simply unrealistic for him to invite them one by one.
So, it's time to leverage your network!
He first gently called to the mixed-race girl, "Miss Dust."
"Uh! I'm here!!" Dust, who had been staring blankly at Fan Wei, snapped back to reality, his eyes darting around nervously as he adopted a serious posture, listening intently to every word Fan Wei spoke.
"Don't be so nervous~"
Fan Wei smiled gently and said, "I've already talked to the person in charge here. From now on, you will be my full representative. You can freely enter and leave the exploration legion. As long as you bring people here, you can transport away the monster materials."
"You can use those materials freely, except for those needed in the kitchen."
"it is good."
Taking a deep breath, which seemed to help him, Dust felt much more at ease. "Leave it all to me!"
"It's alright, there's no rush about work." Fan Wei's eyes were bright and full of anticipation. "The New Year is just around the corner, let's all have a happy New Year together!"
"Ha, I had forgotten about it if you hadn't mentioned it!" Rona suddenly became excited, rubbed her hands together, and a sly smile appeared on her beautiful face.
"Prices during the New Year are outrageous! We need to have a sale! We have to prepare for price increases right away!! There are countless wealthy people in the capital!"
She truly lives up to her reputation as a businesswoman obsessed with money...
Fan Wei is embarrassed. How come you raise prices when others lower them?
"Don't you and Ms. Rowling need to go home and reunite with your families?" He was a little surprised, since neither Rowling nor Rona were locals from Maze Street.
In this era, transportation is highly polarized.
Ordinary modes of transportation can be slow, requiring ten to fifteen days in advance to travel by boat or horse-drawn carriage, while faster methods include teleportation, high-speed flight, and other unconventional means.
Eileen was in a hurry to take Fan Wei home for the New Year, but she stayed in the Maze Street, where there was a way to travel long distances via the Sage's Tower.
Although it was expensive, the fairy lady was still willing to spend a little money to bring someone home.
The two sisters, Lorna and Lorraine, certainly don't lack money to use teleportation magic, but they seem to be focused solely on making money and don't care about anything else.
"I don't know if my cousin will reply, but I definitely won't," Rona said nonchalantly.
“Not everyone is like you, Mr. Misel Van. Hmph, in our family, we’ve always believed that the rich and powerful are in power. Without enough capital, going back will only bring annoyance.”
"Although you've made a lot of money this year, you're still far from being able to overwhelm those people with money!"
The businesswoman smiled, her eyes sparkling like gold coins. She stood on tiptoe, pinched Fan Wei's cheek, and clicked her tongue twice as if appraising a rare commodity, her eyes bright.
"Keep it up! My future wealth and prosperity depend on you!"
"Uh... I'll try my best..."
Feeling a great sense of responsibility, Fan Wei looked up at the dimly lit sky of the Time Zone, thinking about everyone's hopes for the New Year. "Let's go back and prepare some gifts and invitations."
The space was already filled with fresh ingredients. Fan Wei invited the two of them to get into a vehicle and return to the store in the capital.
White snowflakes piled up on the eaves, while the first floor remained bustling and lively, with light and warmth shining through the windows. The newly joined staff added a touch of harmonious order to the chaos.
The second and third floors remained quiet as they had not yet officially opened.
Stepping from the cold outdoors into the warm, brightly lit kitchen brings a sense of security. Fan Wei busily tends to the kitchen, placing the newly acquired monster materials on the counter.
Because he used his soul to imbue the ingredients to refine 'potions' in the morning, he consumed a lot of his own culinary skills, so he is temporarily unable to make high-end dishes.
He planned to practice with some small snacks first, and at the same time send out the invitations.
After washing myself in the bathroom to remove the blood and dirt, I returned to the kitchen, where familiar yet unfamiliar ingredients were laid out on the counter.
Losing his hard-earned culinary skills did not discourage Fan Wei.
On the contrary, this feeling of rediscovering himself even moved him somewhat!
As the saying goes, "If only our meeting were like the first time we met."
He sighed softly, which drew a look of disgust from Rona beside him. The merchant leaned to the side, crossed her arms, and complained, "How cheesy! Has your affection for the kitchen grown even stronger?"
"Of course! That's the meaning of my life."
Unable to discern the deeper meaning, Fan Wei smiled nonchalantly and began preparing the food. Luo Na and Chen Hui quieted down and stopped bothering him.
Pick up the knife and gently stroke the cutting board.
However, unlike his previous skillful movements where his hand speed was almost imperceptible, Fan Wei's movements this time were much slower, and even looked somewhat strained.
Rona and Dust were quite surprised, and then worry appeared in their eyes.
Was Misr injured in the previous battle?
The pressure from the technical injury was indeed immense; Fan Wei's forehead was already slightly damp with sweat, a sign of excessive concentration and tension.
However, his expression remained serene.
Because nothing can stop his yearning for and confidence in the art of cooking!
This is a kind of foolish love, innocent, passionate, never doubting, never hesitating, and forever full of simple enthusiasm and determination!
This is Fan Wei's feeling about cooking.
Although slow, his movements gradually became more natural from stiff.
That sense of inner peace gradually returned, and Fan Wei himself immersed himself in the art of cooking, feeling intoxicated and delighted. The intimacy between the cutting board, his hands, the knife, and the ingredients surged back to him.
These changes are difficult for outsiders to detect.
Dust only saw his hardship and struggle. The girl's heart was in turmoil, and she couldn't help but ask in a low voice with concern, "Misser, what's wrong?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Fan Wei looked up and smiled, like the warm winter sun.
"I'm bursting with energy right now, and all I can think of are ideas! Miss Dust, what kind of taste do you think the people who receive these gifts would be hoping to experience?"
Despite his response, Fan Wei remains unmistakably immersed in his own world, engrossed in his culinary arts.
Her heterochromatic eyes, tinged with dust, gazed at that serene yet distant smile, and a sudden sense of loss washed over her. She wanted to help Misel in some way... she longed to truly be a part of his world!
Even just a little bit would be great!!
But she was too weak. Even if she tried her best, it would be insignificant to the man in front of her. Who would care about the dust blown by the wind?
She was too naive; it was just a sliver of light from the "sun" in front of her that luckily gave her a shape.
Ultimately, she was nothing more than an insignificant speck of dust, unnoticed, unappreciated, and never to be loved...
I really want to, I really want to be able to do something...
Dust felt utterly disappointed and silently lowered her head. She understood, with a sense of shame, that she was merely a supporting character on the stage.
Supporting actors should just play their supporting roles well!
Pain suddenly arrives, and the sense of loss in one's heart seems to sink forever.
His eyes slowly dimmed, and the desire that had just been ignited was extinguished. Just as the dust in his eyes was about to die out, a strong light suddenly pierced down!
A terrifying power has descended!
'Nameless Light...'
It must exist...!
I could almost hear a whispered verse: ‘He appears before the one who will be told.’
The girl looked up in bewilderment, only to see endless light dominating the universe! Illuminating everything! The cold, clear light seemed to pierce her as if turning her into nothingness!
Supreme and great, supreme and holy!
Every gap in the world was filled.
In the shock of a shattered worldview, the doubts that had long lingered in her heart were completely crushed, and the yearning girl stared in disbelief, witnessing for the first time... the god she believed in!
An unsung light!
