"Boss, have they really arrived in Chaos City?" At the west gate of Chaos City, six men dressed as hunters, with crossbows at their waists and longbows on their horses, were queuing to enter the city. One of the young men asked the burly man with the thick beard at the front in a low voice.
"We've been tracking them all the way here. They should have entered the city. That white cat is the glutton. She wouldn't pass by such a big city without stopping. That silly bear is completely obedient to her. Once we're in the city, we just need to ask around to find out where the best food is, and we'll definitely find them." The burly man with the thick beard nodded slightly, his voice low and hoarse. A faint bloodshot tinge appeared on his dark brown eyes as he looked up at the two big words "Chaos City."
"Boss, I heard that the Chaos City is very strictly controlled. Will someone come out and stop us from doing our thing?" someone asked from behind.
"As long as we act quickly enough, this isn't a problem. We don't necessarily have to capture them alive." The burly man with the thick beard grinned, revealing a set of slightly sharp, yellow teeth.
"Yes, these are the last two. The curse that has been hanging over our people should finally be lifted." The smiles on everyone's faces held a cruel tinge.
…
"Vice President Robert, that restaurant is over there." Luther and Robert walked side by side, and Luther pointed to the Restaurant Mai Mi, whose sign was already visible in the distance. He had offered to lead the way for Robert, but when he saw the long queue at the restaurant entrance, he looked surprised.
"The restaurant hasn't even opened yet, and there are already so many people queuing up?" Robert couldn't hide his surprise. It's rare to see such a scene in Aden Square. Unless the restaurant is having a promotion or event, there won't be a long queue at the restaurant entrance. Even the top-ranked restaurants on the food rankings only have queues during the evening peak hours.
"Vice President, I think this restaurant might have hired shills. They probably guessed we were coming to verify, which is why they made so many people line up. Look at those people, they don't say a word." Luther said angrily. He didn't expect Mai Ge to have made such thorough preparations. However, everything has its limits. Too much of anything is bad. This abnormal phenomenon makes it even more suspicious.
"That's not necessarily true." Robert shook his head, quickened his pace toward the long line, and bowed slightly to Brandley as he approached, saying, "Lord Brandley, are you here for lunch?"
"Oh, it's Robert." Brandley turned to look at Robert, also a little surprised, and nodded with a smile. "Yes, I came early to queue up since I had nothing to do today. I heard that Boss Mai has a new dish, and you won't be able to get any if you come late."
"This... the person the vice president treats with such respect is actually in the group?" Luther looked at this scene with surprise on his face. Although he did not know Brandley's identity, but he could tell from the mage's robe and the Gray Temple insignia on his chest that this should be a big shot of the Gray Temple.
Robert initially suspected the restaurant's vote was rigged, but determined to verify it himself, he was surprised to find a long queue outside the restaurant, and Brandley was among them.
Brandley was a highly respected mage in the Gray Temple, and there was no way he would stoop to being a shill for a restaurant. Judging from their clothes and demeanor, most of the people in the queue were wealthy customers, but no restaurant's promotion could pique their interest in queuing. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is the food at this restaurant really that good?"
"Whether it's good or not, you'll know once you try it. If you're going to queue, hurry up, or there will be even more people later, and you'll regret it if you don't get to eat." Brandley smiled and shook his head, with a hint of mystery.
"I trust your taste." Robert nodded with a smile, then turned and walked towards the back of the line.
"Lord Robert… he's queuing up too?" Luther's surprise deepened. He quickly walked to Robert's side and whispered, "Vice President…"
"Luther, you can line up behind me. Whether it's worth the price and whether it will be well-received by everyone can only be judged after we've tried it." Robert interrupted Luther, speaking earnestly.
"Okay." Luther swallowed the rest of his words and stood behind Robert. The reason he respected the vice president so much was precisely because of this serious attitude.
"It seems this owner knows quite a few distinguished people, which is why he was able to invite a high-ranking official from the Gray Temple to support him." Luther thought to himself, still finding it hard to believe that so many people would line up for such expensive food sold by Mai Ge.
"Little Brother, why is this line split into two?" Robert asked the young man in front of him with some curiosity. Usually, there's only one line in a queue, but there were two long lines in front of this restaurant, and the two lines seemed to be somewhat hostile to each other, creating a tense and oppressive atmosphere.
"I can tell you're here for the first time, right? Let me tell you, there's a reason for this queue. Restaurant Mai Mi has a dish called 'Tofu Pudding,' which comes in both sweet and savory flavors. Although it sounds like one dish, but the two flavors are practically two different dishes. The wonderful taste of Savory Tofu Pudding is unforgettable, while the Sweet Tofu Pudding... just looking at it makes your teeth ache from the sweetness. You can't go wrong choosing the Savory Tofu Pudding queue." Jamie said enthusiastically to Robert. He felt it was his responsibility and obligation to inject fresh blood into the Savory Faction as a seasoned Savory Tofu Pudding supporter.
"Savory Tofu Pudding is simply inedible. It'll make you cough from the saltiness after eating it. But Sweet Tofu Pudding is different. It's fragrant, sweet, and refreshing, sweet but not cloying. It's simply a delicacy!" The old man standing at the back of the line next to him was a little unconvinced. He looked at Robert with a smile and said, "Joining the Sweet Faction is the right choice for you."
"I'm giving you all a serious warning: you'd better stop this shameless behavior of giving 1 star reviews to Savory Tofu Pudding, or don't blame us Savory Faction members for being impolite!"
"You all started this war, and the Sweet Faction will not be afraid!"
The conversation between the two successfully ignited the war between the sweet and savory factions, which were already in a state of cold war, and the two sides immediately fell into a war of words again.
"What kind of delicious food could give guests such a sense of culinary honor?" Robert's eyes lit up as he watched this scene, and he suddenly became excited about the food that everyone was talking about. Perhaps he could try both of them.
"This..." Luther was stunned by what he saw. He had never seen customers in a restaurant argue over different tastes, and it looked like they were about to fight.
"Lu Lu, you don't love me anymore. You actually chose Savory Tofu Pudding." In the middle of the line, Xi Xi looked at Lu Lu standing opposite her with a sad and disappointed expression.
