"When did I say that I would go there?" Yuan Zhou immediately asked back .

"Then that Boss Guan . . . " Man Man was bluntly interrupted when she was about to continue asking .

"He's only a customer," Yuan Zhou answered quite firmly .

"Then . . . " Man Man was immediately dragged away by Wu Hai before she could speak; likewise, Wu Zhou was taken away by Zhao Yingjun before he could get things clear .

"Take care," with a nod, Yuan Zhou said goodbye .

"Why didn't you let me ask?" Man Man asked worriedly .

"Since Boss Yuan has said he won't leave, that’s good . It's useless to ask about other things . " After leaving the restaurant, Wu Hai released Man Man .

"Yeah, you are right . Other things are the personal affairs of Boss Yuan . " Wu Zhou nodded and then took out his phone to inform the group members of the good news .

"The task of informing the others is given to you now . I'm going back . " Wu Hai waved his hands at them while leaving .

The remaining several people stared at each other speechlessly and had to respectively broadcast the good news in the group before returning to their own homes .

Having heard that Yuan Zhou wouldn't leave, the people in the group cheered together and decided to go to Yuan Zhou's restaurant tonight to celebrate .

Man Man now had more chances to continue confronting Yuan Zhou with various rice cuisines . In her Wechat Moments, there were various and diversified replies to her question . After carefully comparing and selecting, she eventually figured out a scheme to carry out tomorrow .

Lunch time started quite early . The first thing that Man Man did then was to rush to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant .

"Boss Yuan, I thought of one particular item for the 100 Styles of Rice Cuisine . I definitely feel that you don’t know how to cook it," as soon as she got to the restaurant, Man Man said confidently .

"Really, what’s that?" it was still early; hence, Yuan Zhou was willing to cooperate .

"It’s the Rice Wine . As per your definition, the main ingredient is rice and the supplementary raw materials are water and distiller's yeast, which are ingredients and can’t be a dish by itself . So it can be classified as one of 100 Styles, right?" Man Man said with confident tone while giving off a manner of ‘I finally made it’ .

Instantly, Yuan Zhou became a little stupefied . Yes, that was probably not wrong . He didn’t really know how to make wine and had never specifically learned it . If it were a dish, he could still learn it by himself even without the instructions of the system but wine-making wasn’t a skill that could be mastered in a short time .

"Humm…" just when Yuan Zhou was about to speak, the system suddenly reacted .

The system displayed, "As a chef, there is a great necessity in maintaining the dignity of a chef . "

[2nd Mission of Dignity], Go to these three places tomorrow to pray for blessings of this system and finish the mission within one day .

(Mission Tips: Now that your customer has sincerely requested the rice wine, you should learn the skill well and prove yourself, young man . )

[Mission Reward], Skill of Wine-Making and junior title of Master of Wine-Making .

"Alright . Come here the day after tomorrow," Yuan Zhou agreed with a nod and said expressionlessly .

"Boss Yuan, you are even able to make the wine?" Man Man asked unbelievably .

"It is indeed one of the 100 Styles of Rice Cuisine . So I can prepare it," Yuan Zhou answered lightly on the surface . But actually, the fight between the system and him was happening privately right now .

"Ok, I will come over at this time of day," Man Man then left skeptically while thinking in her heart that Yuan Zhou must have appeared calm on purpose .

As for Mu Xiaoyun, she was standing right at the side and did not find it strange at all . After all, Yuan Zhou had always been versatile .

"You are just a system . Why do you need blessings?" Yuan Zhou tried hard to keep his composure but his manner of speaking revealed his maddened feeling .

The system displayed, "Host, please complete this mission within one day . "

"Are you an artificial intelligence? If not, how do you know what blessing is? What do you need that for?" Yuan Zhou still didn’t give up and continued to ask .

The system displayed, "While praying, host you need to read silently that ‘Master Chef System is the strongest; Master Chef System will help the host to become a Master Chef . "

"Ho Ho," Yuan Zhou raised his hands to support the forehead and the corner of his mouth couldn’t help twitching .

Currently, he only wanted to scold someone . A mere system surprisingly liked to be praised by humans and even asked humans to go to temples and prayed for him .

What the f*ck . . .

"Don’t think it’ll work to remain silent . Are you really not an artificial intelligence?" Yuan Zhou still couldn’t believe it .

The system displayed, "Host, please endeavor to complete this mission . "

"mdzz①", Yuan Zhou could no longer endure the system, thus he spoke these few words with voiced sound .

"Boss, what’s wrong with you?" Mu Xiaoyun looked at Yuan Zhou curiously .

"Nothing . I’m thinking of the new dish," Yuan Zhou turned around and said earnestly .

"Ok," Without suspecting anything, Mu Xiaoyun immediately believed that .

Then, Yuan Zhou continued negotiating with the system . All in all, it was really incredible that a nonhuman system would, surprisingly, request to be blessed .

The system displayed, "Host, please complete the mission as soon as possible . "

Yuan Zhou patted his forehead and took out his phone helplessly to check the address . Anyway, the mission needed to be completed .

He could start the journey after lunch time .

Only after checking did he find that he needed to go across the whole city for the three places, which shared one common characteristic . They were particularly far away and difficult to be found .

"It’s really hard for you, this system, to look for these three places, huh?" speechlessly, Yuan Zhou ridiculed the system in his heart .

It seemed that he indeed needed some good efforts to finish this mission within one day; therefore, Yuan Zhou carefully checked the rules and opening times of the temples again .

As soon as the opening hours at noon ended, Yuan Zhou hurriedly shut the door and prepared to go to the temples .

"Master, please drive me to Zhaojue Temple," upon boarding the cab, Yuan Zhou reported the address to the driver .

"Young man, why are you going to worship Buddha today?" the cab driver thought for a while and asked curiously . It was neither the first lunar day of the month nor the fifth, which was the right day of worshiping the Buddha .

"Yes, I want to get rid of the bad luck surrounding me . " While saying the two words ‘bad luck’, Yuan Zhou couldn’t help grinding his teeth .

"Then you’ll have to . But frankly speaking, there are lesser and lesser young people believing in Buddha . Only on the first and fifth lunar day of each month do people go there the most . " The cab driver was talkative . He said while a smile .

"It’s best to remove the bad luck as soon as possible," with an earnest expression, Yuan Zhou said as if it were true .

"Ok, don’t worry, young man . We’ll arrive in a little while," the cab driver turned a corner suddenly while maintaining his smile . As a result, Yuan Zhou tilted his head instantly, causing his head to knock on the doorframe .

"I’m really sorry . A dog suddenly rushed up to the car just now . " The cab driver was still suffering from the shock . He explained to Yuan Zhou repeatedly .

"It’s ok, it’s ok . Let’s hurry up and go to the temple," Yuan Zhou covered his forehead and said helplessly .

Having just been through that ordeal, the cab driver likewise didn’t dare to say anything more and instead concentrated on driving silently .

"System, did you make that accident?" Yuan Zhou couldn’t help but doubt the system, as it was too much of coincidence .

However, the system didn’t respond to Yuan Zhou’s enquiring; therefore, Yuan Zhou could only massage his forehead speechlessly .

It took only half an hour to get to the temple by cab . At the end, the cab driver even instructed Yuan Zhou, "Young man, do worship the Buddha well . "

These words nevertheless confirmed that Yuan Zhou truly possessed bad luck .

Looking at the towering temple in front of him, Yuan Zhou couldn’t help sighing in silence . How miraculous it was that a nonhuman system liked hearing complimentary words .

It even learned to worship the Buddha . Upon thinking of that, Yuan Zhou became disturbed again .

"Give me a burning joss stick . " Yuan Zhou found the place where burning joss sticks were sold and went up to buy one .

The temple was nevertheless quite grand, with many temple halls inside . After thinking for a while, Yuan Zhou directly went to the main temple hall . He didn’t conform to the proper means of worshiping from outside to inside .

While kowtowing to the ground, Yuan Zhou read silently the words required by the system; otherwise, the kowtow would be in vain .

With three kowtows and nine worship, Yuan Zhou completed the entire ceremony process . After that, he stood up and went outside the main hall before tapping open the mission and began to check the status .

The truth was cruel . There wasn’t any reaction from the mission status .

"It looks not working," Yuan Zhou then returned to the outermost temple hall and began to worship the Buddha again, as per the formal means of worshiping . After a full one and a half hours, he finally completed the mission .

Yuan Zhou suddenly felt that if he had worshiped the Buddha at the time of the college entrance examination, the score would probably be much better…

mdzz①, it was short for"Oh, shit . This stupid fool . ", as most frequently used on the internet by young people .
