"Feng Ran Pavilion's late-night barbecue stall?"
Lin Feng unconsciously repeated the words.
Instantly, a vivid image appeared in his mind:
A charcoal grill glowing red—
Thick skewers of lamb and kidney sizzling as golden fat dripped onto the coals, releasing a fragrant sizzle.
A fragrant mist rose—
The aroma of meat, smoke, cumin, and soul-chili from another world blending into pure temptation.
Then—
a frosted mug of ice-cold beer slammed onto the table.
Hiss—
Lin Feng's Adam's apple bobbed violently.
Tears of longing nearly leaked from the corners of his mouth.
"Wipe your drool, you gluttonous small-fry host."
The System's disdainful voice cut in coldly.
"This System is discussing business expansion.
Not feeding your pathetic cravings."
Lin Feng immediately restored his expression to calm neutrality—
as if the slobbering idiot from three seconds ago had been someone else entirely.
He wiped the corner of his mouth and nodded solemnly.
"This project is excellent. Very constructive."
"But to maintain the highest standard of food quality…
and honor every diner who trusts Feng Ran Pavilion—"
His tone became noble, even righteous.
"As the boss, I must personally taste the dishes and strictly supervise quality.
This is my bottom line.
My principle."
The System fell dead-silent.
"…"
"Speak human."
"…I want to eat barbecue."
Lin Feng said it with the composure of a saint declaring a sacred truth.
The System's voice suddenly quivered in excitement.
"So you agree?"
Lin Feng almost nodded—
his traitorous mouth already filling with saliva—
But at the last second, he straightened his back and roared:
"Daga—kotowaru! (But I refuse!)"
The System froze.
"???"
"Host, are you insane?"
"Your drool just formed a puddle on the floor—
and now you refuse?!"
Lin Feng answered with grave seriousness:
"Feng Ran Pavilion walks the path of elegance, mystique, and high-end dining."
"A barbecue stall?
Smoky. Greasy. Vulgar."
"It will drag down the entire image of the establishment."
The System snorted.
"Foolish mortal."
"All barbecue equipment from this System uses the core technologies:
—『Void Swallowing Flame』
—『Fallen Heart Flame』 refining furnace
—『Purity Lotus Demonic Flame』 purification array."
"The fuel is 『Divine Tree Charcoal』 from the Naruto World.
No smoke.
No odor.
No pollution."
"It locks in ingredient essence with 300% efficiency."
"Technology changes your primitive life, bumpkin."
Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat.
With that setup, forget skewers—
he could refine a legendary divine weapon on the side.
He still attempted a weak resistance.
"Okay, fine, I'll be honest."
He slumped back like a salted fish.
"I'm tired.
Running a restaurant is exhausting.
This boss needs rest."
"My sacred private sleep time must not be violated."
"Detection: Host's effective daily working time is less than 4 hours.
The remaining 20 hours are spent in a 'vegetative state.'
No risk of overwork."
Lin Feng's face darkened instantly.
You're the vegetative one.
Your whole family is vegetative.
"In any case—I'm not doing it."
He turned away.
"I'm going to sleep."
"Detection: Host's behavior now qualifies as extreme passive absenteeism,
seriously hindering the glorious revitalization of the restaurant!"
The System panicked—
and pulled out its ultimate temptation.
"After precise calculations, the late-night dining market is a golden blue-ocean segment!"
"If supper service launches,
the Host's daily gourmet-point income will increase by—
at least 70%!"
Seventy… percent.
The System's voice turned silky:
"Small-fry host, do you understand?"
"That means the time required to exchange for the Mangekyo Sharingan
will be cut nearly in half."
Lin Feng froze.
Damn this evil System and its precision strikes.
An internal battle erupted inside him.
On one hand—
his dignity as a top-tier expert.
On the other—
skewers. Points. Upgrades. Sharingan.
He hadn't made up his mind yet—
But everyone in the Pavilion…
had heard everything he muttered earlier.
Late night?
Barbecue stall?
The senior…
is opening a new meal period?
Meaning—
More food?!
"Gulp."
A crisp swallowing sound echoed from the side.
No need to look.
That glutton Spirit Kite Douluo again.
Her round eyes glowed green, locked onto Lin Feng like a famished crocodile spotting a baby deer.
And the rest of the Elders?
All outwardly calm.
All inwardly trembling.
Adam's apples bobbing like they were at a swallowing competition.
Even Bibi Dong—
Lin Feng clearly felt her hands on his shoulders freeze.
Then—
Her soft, snow-white body leaned a few inches closer, pressing against his back.
Her breathing quickened—hot, sweet, brushing his ear.
Three meals a day was already the "happiness" she had bought at the price of emptying the Spirit Hall's treasury.
If another meal was added…
Her heartbeat quickened uncontrollably.
"Senior…"
Her voice was soft, seductive, trembling.
"Are you…
really going to open for supper?"
Hot breath brushed his earlobe.
Lin Feng's mouth twitched.
Great.
He'd let the words slip.
The room was now filled with burning, hopeful stares.
If he dared say "no"—
He was certain these Titled Douluo would immediately kneel and cry, clinging to his leg in a dramatic hunger strike.
The System laughed smugly in his head.
"Host, do you see?
This is public opinion.
This is market demand."
"Follow the will of the people,
and wealth flows endlessly."
Lin Feng cursed internally.
Sounds nice.
But in the end…
I'm still the one doing the work!
The System paused—
as if running rapid calculations.
"Detection: Host's laziness level has entered irreversible late stage."
"This System is activating the contingency plan."
"To protect your fragile god-tier dignity…"
"And to satisfy your desire to lie flat…"
"The late-night barbecue stall will adopt an entirely new business model—"
Self-Service.
"All ingredients will be produced by this System.
Clearly priced.
Fair to all."
"Diners select ingredients, pay the bill, retrieve their grill, and cook themselves."
"And you—Boss Lin—"
"You need only sit behind the counter like a deity."
"Your noble hands…"
"Will touch only—"
money.
