"Boss, another bowl!!!"
"Coming Right Up !"
The Rooster King was continuously cooking spicy noodles for a hungry little fox, astonishing the crowd of players around them.
"Does his class have pets? Letting the pet eat in your place, is that allowed?"
"Amazing, even a game bug like this has been found by players! Where are you my precious pet The Great Eagle Lord! Hurry up and come eat these spicy noodles!"
"This little fox is at its 50th bowl already...!"
"Oh my...! One bowl in just... 5 seconds!"
Countless murmurs surrounded the tiny fox with its bottomless stomach.
"Sis- I mean your highness..., can you eat a little less? Every bowl after the first one costs gold." No One held his head in distress.
The game features a function allowing players to "eat more" spicy noodle bowls for rewards, but it requires spending money, specifically gold.
It's not too expensive, but with the bottomless appetite of the Thousand Tails Yaoguai King, the money in the pocket was indeed diminishing by the second.
"Hmph! You're still stingy with me? It's been a long time since I had the chance to come here and eat spicy noodles, I must eat to my heart's content."
No One sighed.
The taste in the game was designed to be quite similar to real life.
The Rooster King's dish was absolutely delicious, but undeniably extremely spicy.
It felt like eating the spiciest Samyang noodle.
Well, since it's already happened...
"Boss, Spicy Mandu Fish Ball Noodles please!"
"Right away, right away!" The Rooster King breath fires onto the stove.
.
.
.
"So crowded..."
Snow Moon was at the teleportation gate of the City of Thousand Tails.Even though there was still a path ahead, it was really hard to see what was in front.
The number of people around here was countless.
"No One said he was at the Rooster King's Spicy Noodle Shop... Where could it be?"
Suddenly, a loud noise overshadowed the already bustling street.
"Boss! Another bowl!!!"
That voice...
Could it be the master?
Snow Moon immediately ran towards the direction of the noise.
"What is this?"
Stacks of spicy noodle bowls were piled high, about ten or so.
The crowd was here just to watch, intrigued by the little fox gobbling up the food, as they couldn't eat that quickly themselves.
Beside the cute little fox was No One, who had abandoned half a bowl because he couldn't handle the extreme spiciness.
"Master... what are you doing?"
The Thousand Tails Yaoguai King heard Snow Moon's voice, ears perking up as she turned around.
Her mouth was still covered in broth.
"Snow Moon! You came just in time! Come here and eat!"
"Huh...!?"
She looked at the eatery.
It was the Rooster King's Spicy Noodle Shop.An event this time.
So that's how it is.
"Ah... No... I won't eat... It'll make me fat!"
Girls are always concerned about their weight.
Even though she is very good at eating spicy food, she often skips meals out of fear of gaining weight.
"What are you talking about?" No One, with his head resting on the table, turned to ask.
"Huh? It's just... eating food will make you fat."
Huh?
Are you trying to leave me to handle the spiciness alone?
Come up with a better excuse.
No One really thought Snow Moon was making an excuse to avoid eating spicy food.
But Snow Moon was actually afraid of gaining weight.
"How can you get fat from eating in virtual reality?"
No One looked at her with an extremely irritated expression.
How can you get fat from eating in virtual reality
In virtual reality, how can you get fat
Virtual reality, how can you get fat...
The words echoed in Snow Moon's mind.
"Oh, right?"
The Thousand Tails Yaoguai King looked at Snow Moon, sweating a bit.
"Do you need me to calm her forehead with a touch?"
"Why does she look like you a few hours ago?"
"No, she's just enlightened." No One grinned widely.
"You..."
"BOSS! GIVE ME 30 BOWLS OF SPICY NOODLES!!! PUT IT ON NO ONE'S TAB!"
Charge it to No One.
The smile faded.
No One was stunned.
"WHAT THE HECK!?" The whole crowd was in shock.
"Finally... A worthy opponent! Our battle will become legendary!!!"
The Thousand Tails Yaoguai King gave a thumbs up to praise Snow Moon.
"Boss, give me mandu, fish balls, imitation crab, tofu with cheese, surimi, fifteen kinds of skewers, all the buns... GET IT ALL!"
"Hehehehehe, after eating healthy for so many years, today I shall have a feast!"
"Coming right up! It is my honor!" The Rooster King was cooking with all his might.
"What the heck? Really?"
No One looked dazedly at the two of them slurping the spicy noodles like there's no tomorrow.
"Well done, Snow Moon! You truly deserve to be my disciple!"
"Tha...nks... so... much!!!" Snow Moon's mouth was full of food.Oh my goodness...
Each player has a meter called "fullness."
Usually, you don't need to worry about it, as it replenishes with potions.
However, if the fullness meter maxes out, the effects of various items become nullified.
Snow Moon's fullness bar has been maxed out for ages.
Yet she continues stuffing her mouth with noodles.
Her speed of devouring noodles is almost catching up to the Thousand Tails Yaoguai King.
Boom.
The Rooster King slammed a heap of tickets onto the table in front of No One.
"All the meals are on you, so the reward tickets are yours. Here are 100 tickets; as they eat more, I'll give you more."
Wait a minute?
This isn't such a bad deal, is it?
He grinned.
"EAT AS MUCH AS YOU CAN! YOU TWO! IF YOU DON'T EAT THE ROOSTER KING'S PLACE OUT OF BUSINESS TODAY, I WON'T LET YOU GO HOME!"
"DON'T WORRY!" Both Snow Moon and the Thousand Tails Yaoguai King beamed with delight.
Huh?
Other players seemed to catch on to something.
As long as you're willing to pay in Gold, you can get more tickets?
So the Rooster King Jade Trinket will definitely be ours?
"Boss! Give me 5 bowls!"
"I'll take 10 bowls!""Enough for 10 pulls !"
"I'll take 100 bowls!"
The Rooster King looked at the heap of orders, grinning and turning up the volume on the burner.
"Coming right up!!!"
The magical spicy noodle shop, somehow managed to sell to all those people that day, making unprecedented sales.
"Do they not know?" The Thousand Tails Yaoguai King turned to look at the crowd frantically buying spicy noodles.
"Huh? Know what?" No One asked, wiping the mouth of the Thousand Tails Yaoguai King, whose cheeks were puffed full of spicy noodles.
"You have to finish a bowl of spicy noodles to get a ticket, right?"
"Oh, right."
That crowd... they're about to go bankrupt.
...
Tofu and Minh Quang are in the City of Thousand Tails.
They haven't yet left the game.
"I must admit, the atmosphere here is really lively," Minh Quangremarked.
"Yes, it's even more so than in Qiu Yu City. All the NPCs look so cheerful, it's quite a rare sight."
Minh QUang looked around the City of Thousand Tails.
There were no beggars, and every household seemed to be well-fed.
It's vastly different from places like the Empire or the Holy Nation.
And it's not just a facade.
The future of the City of Thousand Tails, as predicted by the Cosminsto System, is indeed quite prosperous.
If not for the disaster at the Yaoguai Festival, this place would have become the capital of the world after the Demonic Path was established.
Thousand Tails Yaoguai King... How did she do it?
Minh Quang walked towards the square.
A gigantic fox statue with countless tails made of Yaoguai Stone.
The Yaoguais have a tradition of carving statues of the Ruler Of All Yaoguais from Yaoguai Stone.
The size of the statue reflects the reverence of the people for that leader.
This statue serves as a "backup life" that the Ruler Of All Yaoguais can absorb whenever they wish.
This amount of Yaoguai Stone is the contribution of all the people who venerate the ruler.
Minh Quang was increasingly in disbelief as he looked at it.
Due to the enormity of the statue, the fox was made just small enough to fit within the square.
But.
The tails.
Countless tails extended, branching into every corner of the City of Thousand Tails.
These tails were used to mark street names.
The amount of Yaoguai Stone contributed by the citizens to honor the Thousand Tails Yaoguai King surpassed many previous Yaoguai Kings combined.
Except for the Divine Tiger, almost no other Ruler Of All Yaoguais's statue could compare to her.
No.
This amount of Yaoguai Stone was even more than the Divine Tiger's.
How revered must she be by the people to reach this level?
Thousand Tails Yaoguai King...How did you do it?
