The Tycoon God of Online Gaming-Chapter 49 - Chef

As was his habit, Chu You decided to secure his moneymaking ventures first.

…

“Wow, look! There’s a small shed down the hill!” The Beekeeper Old Man was the first to be spotted by a female team member, her eyes full of surprise.

“Make way! I can’t wait any longer.” The MT female warrior took the lead, racing ahead.

“Xiao Tian, you run so fast!”

Before long, everyone arrived in front of the Beekeeper Old Man.

“Wow, I got over 10,000 experience points.” The MT warrior was overjoyed, her experience bar leaping drastically after she handed over the honey in her bag to the old man.

“Yes! I leveled up.” Another female player reached level 7 and was overjoyed.

The group of female players led by Zhao Feiyan were all excited, trading their honey for experience with great eagerness.

Lin Luor remained the most composed. After seeing all her companions exchange their honey, she first paused, then asked in surprise.

“Why didn’t you guys buy the experience honey?”

“Buy what?” Zhao Feiyan’s formerly laugh-filled face turned doubtful.

Gradually, the mood seemed off again.

With the other female team members looking confused, Lin Luor knew it was time to demonstrate how to use the experience honey according to Chu You’s instructions…

…

“Sis, sign this contract.” Zhou Yuxuan handed a contract to a woman who looked a bit like her but was more alluring and mature.

This woman was Zhou Yuxuan’s older sister, Zhou Zhijun.

“Yo, little sister, you give your big sister a contract for a 40,000 a month salary?” Zhou Zhijun seemed a bit dissatisfied, glancing at the contract before setting it on the table.

“Sis, stop pretending. When did ‘Yanjiang Chef’ ever surpass this monthly salary? Besides, this is as high as I can go. Plus, you’re a private chef and the work is easy. Be content!” Zhou Yuxuan knew her sister liked to put on airs. She recalled the youthful days when her sister was still innocent. But people change as they start to navigate the world.

“Okay, I’ll take the job. But remember, you owe me one.” Zhou Zhijun picked up the pen and hastily scribbled her name on the contract.

“Hmm, remember what I told you. Make sure it’s done well.” Zhou Yuxuan didn’t forget the purpose of this meeting.

“Sigh, my poor little sister. Who would have thought you’d come up with such an old-fashioned idea? There are so many ways to deal with men. Anyway, let’s not dwell on it. You just wait for the good news from your sister.” When her sister started talking about men, Zhou Yuxuan always had this strange feeling, like her sister’s demeanor had somehow changed in that moment.

“Alright, I’ll call Brother You now.” Zhou Yuxuan dialed his number, but found that no one answered. She immediately knew that Chu You was playing Celestial World, but she believed that Chu You would call back soon.

“Brother You? You said he’s only a junior in college, right? You’re 5 years older than him.”

“But he’s rich, and he’s my superior. It’s a term of respect!” Zhou Yuxuan corrected.

Zhou Zhijun’s innately seductive eyes narrowed slightly, with a hint of mockery in her tone, “Hmph, he’s just a little man!”

“Sis~” Zhou Yuxuan was discontent.

“Alright, alright, I’m done teasing you.”

…

In the small hut for honey exchange, six beautiful female players stood, only… the once lively atmosphere has turned cold again. Yes, it was quite chill again.

Five of the female players watched, astonished, as Lin Luor was actually buying a large amount of honey from the old man.

Upon questioning, they were all shocked.

“Is it… Is it honey that gives experience?”

“Yes.” Lin Luor answered and then she drank a jar of honey.

“It looks…so delicious!” The Mage swallowed her saliva.

“Wow, how… How do you have so much money?” Xiao Tian was a warrior player. She was surprised to see Lin Luor buying so much honey from the Beekeeper Old Man at once.

“So it can give so much experience…no wonder.” Zhao Feiyan murmured, then opened her own bag, her face instantly turned pale!

She didn’t have… enough money!

If this news were spread, no one would believe it. Zhao Feiyan sighed secretly in her heart. It would be great if she had added money before the game started and had entered the game as soon as possible. Unfortunately, she had done neither. The allocation of responsibilities within their guild was clear-cut. But she was not in charge of Gold Coin distribution and hence, needed someone to give her some Gold Coins.

“Glittering Night, how much does so much honey cost?” the Assassin girl asked timidly.

“Oh, about 1500 gold coins can increase experience by tens of thousands.” Lin Luor smiled arrogantly. “Look, I leveled up.”

With that, a halo glowed from Lin Luor – a phenomenon that only occurs when leveling up. She went from level 4 to level 5.

Unconsciously, Lin Luor delivered a critical hit to the surrounding comrades and friends.

Looking around at the stunned expressions, Lin Luor continued to laugh. “Go on, buy some now!” She then took another sip of honey.

“I…I don’t have money.” Xiao Tian’s face beamed with embarrassment as she quietly glanced at Zhao Feiyan.

“It’s only 1500 gold coins, which is 1500 bucks, not expensive at all.” The Mage tried to speak firmly, yet her heart was filled with regret. She could barely afford a few gold coins.

Do girls, especially pretty ones, need to bankroll games? At least, which game requires money right from the start? Hence, they were broke…

Seeing Lin Luor drinking honey with relish, the rest of the girls, who were initially keen on trading honey for experience before going offline for breakfast, were filled with envy and resentment.

“You don’t have any money?” Lin Luor was confused. Chu You had given her all her Gold Coins, even sent her without uttering a word. To be honest, Lin Luor dared not spend his money recklessly. If it were not for Chu You’s advice to buy honey and level up, even if she knew about this place, she still wouldn’t come buy.

Should she lend or not?

Since the rest did not ask her to lend money, it’s better to pretend she knows nothing…

“Yes, who would have that much money when the game just started? We are not friends of any tycoons, are we?” They finally realized that Night Ghost was not only a top-notch player but was very likely a tycoon too.

“Alright, let’s log out. It’s time for breakfast.” Zhao Feiyan would never ask Lin Luor for money, knowing that 1500 units for one person would equate to 7500 units for five! Expecting others to lend 7500 units just to level up together in a team… Isn’t this a bit too much?

What if Lin Luor didn’t have that much money on her? That would be seriously embarrassing.

Just as they were about to fully exit the game, they faintly noticed a glint of light on Lin Luor…

Bloody hell, another Ten Thousand Critical Strikes!

…

After Zhao Feiyan and her crew logged out, Chu You had already arrived at the all too familiar entrance of the instance. As someone who had developed in Yashan City in his previous life, everything here was incredibly familiar to him. Hence, after constructing an exchange and craftsman buildings in Yashan City, Chu You maximized his bag space. In his bag was a Black Horse Head, which was the guild mount!

He immediately summoned it and rushed towards the instance.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the instance, Chu You received a call alert on his mobile phone. Prior to entering the Game Pod, Chu You had connected his phone to the pod with a data cable. If there was any information on his phone, it would immediately be relayed to Chu You.

Seeing that it was a call from Zhou Yuxuan, Chu You knew that the matter with the chef was likely settled. Therefore, he sent a message to Lin Luor’s icon: “Luor, it’s time to go offline. Let’s have breakfast.”

Lin Luor replied promptly: “Alright, I am logging off now.”

Subsequently, the two of them logged off from their respective locations.

Zhou Yuxuan and Zhou Zhijun partook in casual banter. When Zhou Yuxuan’s phone buzzed with a new message, she looked at it immediately. She chuckled and stated, “Well, he’s free now. You should go. I… won’t be attending.”

“Seriously? You’ll not even show up to introduce? What’s the deal with that?”

“The two of us standing together might be a tell-tale sign. He might notice something. You go ahead, take the contract with you. I’ll call him later.” The sisters weren’t very alike. Their differences couldn’t be noticed unless they were together.

Zhou Zhijun took a closer look at her sister and said, “Alright, I’m leaving.” With that, she picked up the contract from the table and left.

…..

Zhao Feiyan was somewhat vexed. She didn’t have any game coins, which severely hampered her ability to level up in the game. No wonder Night Ghost leveled up so quickly. This…was an advantage exclusively for those who spent lavishly!

Alright, it’s a pay-to-win competition, is it? I, Zhao Feifei, have never backed down before…

Zhao Feifei was Zhao Feiyan’s real name. However, she had always used Zhao Feiyan as her name in various games. Over time, people seemed to forget her real name and referred to her as Feiyan.

Zhao Feiyan emerged from the Game Pod with a gloomy expression and headed straight to the management department.

As soon as she entered, she saw the guild leader, a man in his forties.

“Feiyan, you’re here.”

“Yes, we found a task that requires exchanging game coins for experience. However, we don’t have any game coins.” Zhao Feiyan said coldly.

“Oh? Is that so? At your Liuying Village? All our members carrying game coins are in our Yashan City.” The leader was surprised to hear that there was a task that could exchange game coins for experience. But it was too far for them in Liuying Village to take advantage of.

“Can experience be exchanged infinitely?”

“Rubbish! If that was the case, Night Ghost would likely have exceeded level 10 by now.”

“Well, that’s valid…”

“Damn it. Seems I have to start collecting game coins myself. By the way, what is the current exchange rate for game coins to real money?”

“It seems to be 1:2 now. All factions are collecting game coins.” The guild leader also felt some pressure.

“Never mind, I’ll collect the game coins myself.” Zhao Feiyan thought of Lin Luor. Perhaps she could ask Night Ghost for game coins through her. The ratio would still be 1:2, so it wouldn’t shortchange them. But they couldn’t rely solely on them. She also needed to start collecting game coins herself.

“Feiyan, your father called me and asked you to join me for a meal at the Hilton Hotel at noon. Apparently, a distinguished guest is attending!” The guild leader said slowly.

“A distinguished guest?”

“Yes, not sure who it is. But apparently, the guest is from overseas and the subject of discussion would be ‘Celestial World’.”

…

“Young Master Chu, you’re actually cooking yourself!” Lin Luor looked at Chu You busying himself in the kitchen with disbelief in her eyes.

“Yes, there’s a portion for you too. Let’s have breakfast here.”. After saying that, Chu You ladled some broth into two bowls and put the noodles in the pot.

After a short while, Chu You called out, “The noodles are ready, Luor. Come and get them.”

Having noodles cooked by Chu You, how could anyone pass on such an opportunity? If missed, it could be an opportunity lost forever.

Lin Luor promptly walked in, took the bowl of noodles, placed it on the table, and started eating it slowly.

Perhaps it was too hot as Lin Luor looked adorable blowing on her noodles.

“How does it taste?”

“Hmm, good, much better than mine.” Lin Luor smiled, an uncommon sight. She showed a bit of femininity.

Not too long after, just as they were about to finish eating, the doorbell rang.

Chu You brushed his hands and stood up, signaling Lin Luor to continue eating as he headed to answer the door.

Upon opening the door, Chu You was momentarily taken aback. He had met plenty of women in his thirty-something years, but he had never encountered a woman like the one standing before him.

Zhou Zhijun was dressed appropriately, even conservatively. However, her charm was undeniable. It seemed to radiate from her, making her incredibly attractive.

Zhou Zhijun saw Chu You’s surprise and flashed him a confident smile, her aura becoming even stronger.

“Excuse me, are you Chu You?” Zhou Zhijun’s voice was as elegant as her demeanor, a harmonious combination.

“Uh, yes. May I ask who you are?”

“I am the personal chef your assistant has hired for you. My name is Zhou Zhijun.” Upon finishing, she gave a small bow to Chu You.

What on earth was Xiao Zhou thinking? I asked for a chef! Chu You was slightly annoyed. The woman before him was too sophisticated and too seductive, and this image didn’t correspond with his mental image of a chef at all. In Chu You’s mind, a chef should be a man.

“Oh, may I see the contract?” Chu You had every right to ask this.

Zhou Zhijun smiled faintly and pulled the contract out of her bag.

“This is the contract I signed with your assistant. Please take a look.”

Chu You took the contract and started reading. It clearly stated that Zhou Zhijun was a Senior Chef and also a high-level wellness advisor.

While reading the contract, Chu You suddenly looked at Zhou Zhijun, asking, “What’s your relationship with Zhou Yuxuan?”

Zhou Zhijun was momentarily taken aback, although she remained calm, she asked perplexedly, “Relationship?”

Chu You’s question was more reflexive than anything else. He had no idea that a thought which had fleetingly crossed his mind had triggered the question.

“Nothing. I’m glad that you can work for me.” Chu You reached out his hand.

“And I’m glad I could be of service to you.” Zhou Zhijun shook Chu You’s hand.

When Lin Luor saw Zhou Zhijun, her first reaction was, ‘Why does this woman look so enchanting!’

Could she possibly be the woman that had stolen the heart of my sister’s beloved? Zhou Zhijun gave Lin Luor a light smile, her manner was pleasant, making people feel comfortable.

Yet, there was something about her that irritated Lin Luor, she just couldn’t put her finger on it…
