Lou Yueren’s shadow tied the fox-faced woman tightly.
This meant that when Chi Ting walked towards her, the sharp fangs were unable to extend towards him at all.
Chi Ting didn’t forget to confirm it with Lu Nanling behind the counter. “If she hasn’t eaten here, she shouldn’t be able to give us a bad review, right?”
“Yes.”
“Well, that’s good.” Chi Ting smiled as he lowered his eyes. As if conducting some type of research, he extended his finger and moved it along the key points of the fox-faced woman’s shoulders bit by bit. There was some curiosity in his tone. “Elbows, breast meat, internal organs… and the bones and flesh of the limbs. At this weight, is it enough to meet our missing food needs today?”
“The dishes involved in the purple incense are mainly raw meat from various parts of the human body. If the quantities or various dishes are relatively balanced, it should be… about the same?” Lu Nanling quickly deduced according to this assumption and clearly pointed out the current uncertain factors. “At present, we are still uncertain about what will happen if the ordered dishes exceed the time limit and the customers aren’t allowed to leave the restaurant. The ideal result is naturally to automatically confirm the good review.”
Lou Yueren interjected with a smile. “For things you can’t be sure of, you will often know once you try it.”
“Then let’s give it a try.” Chi Ting gestured for a while and roughly found a position. “I remember that your table is missing an arm, right? I think it should be about the same if we start from this place?”
Lou Yueren replied, “Yes, almost. But it is a bit too troublesome to remove each part one by one. How about I slice the whole thing up first?”
Chi Ting thought for a moment. “It seems possible.”
Hua Qianmei leaned against the counter, listening to the conversation from afar. Her expression was full of admiration. “The captain is indeed more thoughtful.”
The same scene would give a completely different feeling when seen by others.
What thoughtful?
Did they want to hear what was being said?
Some people discovered that, without realizing it, the crowd of players watching in front of screen 89 had started to show a tendency to compete with the top teams.
Compared to this, the impact of what they just saw and heard was much stronger.
“What do they mean by starting from here… what are they going to do? Is it what I thought?”
“Why do I always feel like there is excitement in Captain Chi’s tone when he said that the table was missing an arm?”
“Oh my god, it is too troublesome to take apart one by one! This is an NPC! The one in front of them is an NPC, right?”
“It is also a humanoid NPC… this isn’t right. Which side is the bad guy? Let me take my time, take my time…”
“They look really excited. Are they really planning on doing that?”
“I think it is just talk… what the! They have started. They have really started to slice the NPCs!”
There was a scream that rose out of nowhere. Then the silence around them was suddenly broken, followed by the physiological reaction caused by the extremely uncomfortable scene.
In the blink of an eye, many players, who had just been able to watch calmly, felt their hearts beating violently. They quickly ran to the side to vomit.
The tearing sound of layers of flesh being torn apart in the instance became the background sound behind the retching.
There were bleak expressions on their faces as everyone had an extremely horrifying question in their mind. Why could this man dismember corpses so skillfully?
The strong smell of vomit filled the square, causing many passing players to stop and look. On screen 89, the culprit was still conscientiously completing the task he had received.
Chi Ting stood by with his arms crossed, watching the black shadow under Lou Yueren’s control performing precise operations comparable to those of surgical instruments. He couldn’t help glancing twice at the man who was obviously enjoying it.
To be honest, Lou Yueren’s level of completion clearly exceeded his expectations. It even made him feel ashamed of himself at one point.
It changed from hysterical to a corpse that didn’t even twitch.
The fox-faced woman, who had been trying to resist, unknowingly turned into plates of food on the table. They were neatly arranged in a row after Lou Yueren’s careful classification.
It was clear at a glance and very convenient to choose and serve.
“It is done. This is the last one.” After Lou Yueren placed the leg bone on a plate, he slowly wiped his hands, which weren’t stained with blood at all, and smiled at Chi Ting. His expression was full of appeal. “Are you satisfied, Captain Chi Ting?”
“I am satisfied. You did a great job.”
Chi Ting’s eyes swept over the clean area around him and Lou Yueren that wasn’t splattered with blood. He was amazed by this man’s meticulousness and praised him sincerely. “This level of proficiency makes me think that you have done this more than once before.”
“This type of thing?” Lou Yueren found it funny and stretched out the ending of his words meaningfully. “How do you know… I haven’t?”
There was brief eye contact before Chi Ting raised his eyebrows.
Lou Yueren smiled silently. “Do you think it is possible that I am skilled because I was actually a doctor before coming to this world?”
What doctor? A graduate student in anatomy?
Chi Ting had long been accustomed to this man’s half-truthful and half-false words. He took a quick glance before handing over the plate with food. “It is your turn to serve the food.”
Lou Yueren took it obediently. “Yes, my captain.”
Ji Xingque was still nervous about the lack of ingredients when he ran out of the kitchen. But when he saw the orderly delivery of dishes outside, he was completely stunned. “What’s going on? Where did all these dishes come from?”
“Just using local materials.” Lu Nanling seemed to be able to accept the current outcome. After casually replying to Ji Xingque, he glanced at the clock on the wall and slowly wrote down the last line of the night’s record with the tip of the pen. “The only regret is that despite not receiving a second negative review, we also lost two positive reviews that we should’ve received. The average order value of Lv 2 customers is a bit higher than that of Lv 1 customers. In this case, the total sales are also missing two considerable revenues.”
“Two sums of money are enough to make you nag like this. You should be content with what you have, Little Brother Lu.” Hua Qianmei obviously had a different idea. “If we can ensure a smooth business day by slaughtering two customers every day, then there is nothing wrong with running an illegal store. If we can maintain stability in the next few days, we should be able to have a good ranking by the end of the day.”
Lu Nanling told her, “I don’t like the word ‘should.’ Today’s method can only be regarded as a secondary option. If we want to get into the top eight, our final total sales must be good enough.”
Hua Qianmei was speechless. “I was right before. Being picky is indeed your main direction of alienation.”
Lu Nanling gladly accepted the compliment. “Thank you for the compliment.”
“…Bah!”
Once the last few tables of customers left, the restaurant finally became quiet.
The blood still floating in the air was like a layer of thick grease covering this space.
“I think we can start cleaning up now.” Ji Xingque and Song Xuefeng had been worrying about the food distribution issue inside. They finally sighed with relief when they learned that the problem had been solved. They were so exhausted that they wanted to clean up the restaurant immediately and go back to sleep.
“Okay, I’ll be there in a bit,” Chi Ting said as he walked to the cashier’s counter. As usual, he checked with Lu Nanling. “Overall, today’s sales should be pretty good, right?”
“Not bad. This is the total as of today. But according to the best data that can be obtained with a perfect pass, it is still around 20% short.” He said it wasn’t bad, but in fact, it could be seen from Lu Nanling’s expression that he wasn’t very satisfied. “I have estimated the approximate ingredients needed for tomorrow. If we can complete the purchase tonight with guaranteed quality and quantity, it shouldn’t be a problem to get 100% of the sales on the third day. If we can find a way to appropriately shorten the dining time of these customers, it shouldn’t be a problem to achieve a 120% completion rate.”
The words ‘quality and quantity guaranteed’ fell into Lou Yueren’s ears, making him laugh. “Why don’t you just point it out to me and let me pay attention to it?”
Lu Nanling glanced at him and said bluntly, “At the very least, you two definitely can’t sleep together tonight.”
The smile on Lou Yueren’s face froze. “……” D*mn.
Ji Xingque’s movements were always quick and efficient. Due to the joining of others, he soon restored the restaurant hall, which was like a slaughterhouse today, to cleanliness again.
As they went upstairs together, Chi Ting thought about it and hoped to have a clear idea in mind. “Xiao Lu, based on the current situation, can you roughly guess the current ranking of our team?”
“Yes, if nothing unexpected happens, we should be around 5th or 6th.”
As the group of people disappeared around the corner of the stairs, Lu Nanling’s voice also faded away from screen 89. The people watching in front of them had complicated expressions that they didn’t know how to express.
For many people, this was probably the first time they had experienced such a series of shocks in the live stream of an instance on the same day.
It felt like there was no normal person in this team!
Hua Qianmei’s violence, Chi Ting calmly arranging the details of the dismemberment, and Lou Yueren’s perfect technique that didn’t seem like he was executing a crime for the first time at all. In addition… Lu Nanling who seemed to be sure of victory every time he opened his mouth.
At almost the same time, the players subconsciously glanced at the global statistics in the corner. This displayed the sales rankings of all teams in real time.
Several top teams that had attracted a lot of attention had lived up to expectations and were among them.
At first glance, the team names were almost familiar, but there were also unexpected dark horses.
Just as Lu Nanling had accurately guessed, the Dawn team was currently ranked 6th.
For an unknown team, this was undoubtedly an absolutely strong result. Due to this, their attention continued to soar along the way.
In addition to them, there was another extremely unexpected team at the top of the list.
—Jazz, currently ranked 3rd.
