Lin Feng, inside the store, was lying in a rocking chair, half-asleep. Today's harvest made him exceptionally happy.
Although thirty points of Gourmet Points weren't much, at least he had made his first sale, which was a good sign.
If things continued at this pace, it wouldn't be long before he reached the basic requirements to activate the System Mall!
Yes, that's right!
Lin Feng hadn't even activated the System Mall yet. According to the System, it was:
"The small fry host is currently penniless (points), so even if the Mall is activated for you, you can't afford anything."
"Therefore, this System has set a most basic requirement for the small fry host to activate the Mall: one hundred thousand points!"
"So, work hard to earn points from those leeks!"
Just as Lin Feng was thinking about the rewards in the Mall and was about to drift off to sleep, he suddenly heard some commotion outside, along with the voices of the three small leeks from the afternoon.
"Watch your step!"
Hearing Yan's heart-wrenching roar, Lin Feng's eyelids twitched. What kind of commotion was this?
The urgency and fear in that voice sounded as if someone was about to tear down his store.
This was followed by a series of chaotic sounds: impacts, arguments, and Hu Liena's breathless attempts to dissuade them.
"Grandpa Ju... you... you really mustn't act impulsively..."
Grandpa Ju?
Could it be Chrysanthemum Douluo?
Thinking of this, Lin Feng abruptly sat up from the rocking chair, feeling delighted.
It seemed his performance this afternoon was very successful. These three little ones must have gone back and told everyone, then brought someone to verify.
The thought of a Titled Douluo-level big customer about to arrive almost made Lin Feng laugh out loud.
But then, Lin Feng felt a bit uneasy. Listening to Hu Liena and the others, it sounded like Chrysanthemum Douluo was here to cause trouble?
From Yan's "Watch your step!" just now and Hu Liena's anxious dissuasion, it seemed this Chrysanthemum Douluo probably didn't believe it and wanted to smash the place.
However, Lin Feng quickly relaxed. After all, he was absolutely invincible inside the store; no one would be his opponent.
What if it was a Titled Douluo? On his territory, even gods had to queue up to order food.
But as a "mysterious senior," he couldn't appear too eager.
He still had to maintain his aloof persona, as this related to his future pricing authority.
Imagine if the customers saw him excitedly rush out to greet them like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world; wouldn't his image completely collapse?
Lin Feng resisted the urge to get up and look, continuing to lie in the rocking chair, feigning sleep.
The sounds outside gradually subsided. It seemed they were discussing something... Outside the store, seeing Chrysanthemum Douluo getting angry, Hu Liena and the other two were a bit scared.
Finally, Hu Liena gritted her teeth, gathered her courage, and stepped forward: "Grandpa Ju, please don't rush to act! How about... how about you go in and check the situation first?"
"If that senior really is a swindler, it won't be too late to smash the store then!"
She was extremely flustered right now.
If Chrysanthemum Douluo really fought with that mysterious shop owner, no matter who won or lost, they wouldn't be able to enter the store to eat again.
That was a magical place that could directly increase spirit power!
Xie Yue also quickly chimed in: "Yes, yes! You catch a couple in the act, and a thief with the goods!"
Yan, on the ground, listened to this, struggled to prop himself up, his face still showing the painful expression left by Chrysanthemum Douluo's kick.
"Yes, Elder Ju, it won't take long for you to go in and take a look!"
Hearing all three of them say this, Chrysanthemum Douluo thought it was a good idea.
If he smashed the store without a word, others would think he, Chrysanthemum Douluo, was bullying people.
Moreover, Spirit Hall always emphasized having a just cause. Even if it was to punish a swindler, they had to catch them in the act.
"Alright, then I'll go in and meet this so-called 'senior'."
Chrysanthemum Douluo straightened his collar. "If he really is a swindler, let's see how I deal with him!"
With that, Chrysanthemum Douluo pushed the door open.
His elegant posture appeared exceptionally alluring even in the night. His gaze, as sharp as an eagle's, scanned every corner of the store.
The rustic decor, clean tables and chairs, landscape paintings on the walls... everything looked normal, just an ordinary small restaurant.
But when his gaze fell upon the young man lying in the rocking chair behind the counter, he froze.
This... this was the mysterious senior Hu Liena spoke of?
Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes widened, and he carefully sensed him.
No spirit power fluctuations!
Not at all!
This young man, who looked to be in his early twenties, had absolutely no detectable spirit power!
"This is impossible..." Chrysanthemum Douluo murmured, somewhat disbelieving his own senses.
According to Hu Liena and the others, this young shop owner could suppress Yan's Spirit Avatar with just his pressure, which was something only a high-level Spirit Douluo could achieve.
But this person in front of him... Chrysanthemum Douluo turned to look at Hu Liena and the other two who were with him, his eyes full of doubt.
Hu Liena understood his gaze and nodded, indicating that this was the person.
At this moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo once again smelled that exceptionally alluring aroma, identical to the one he had smelled on the street earlier.
"So that's how it is."
Chrysanthemum Douluo suddenly understood, gently stroking his chin with a graceful hand gesture.
This guy was probably a Spirit-type, just like Hu Liena.
And his strength was not weak, able to perfectly conceal his spirit power fluctuations.
Thinking of this, Chrysanthemum Douluo sneered inwardly.
He was quite skilled at playing tricks, but unfortunately, he had met Chrysanthemum Douluo!
Of course, Chrysanthemum Douluo knew there was another possibility in this situation.
That was, the opponent's strength had reached a level of returning to simplicity, like Great Priest Qian Daoliu of Spirit Hall, which was why he couldn't feel any spirit power fluctuations from the opponent.
However, looking at the opponent's appearance, no more than twenty years old, Chrysanthemum Douluo immediately dismissed this possibility.
Noticing someone entering the store, Lin Feng, just like when Hu Liena and the others entered, half-opened one eye and glanced at Chrysanthemum Douluo.
"The menu is on the table. Just order what you want to eat."
After speaking, he closed his eyes again and continued to doze, showing no special reaction to the arrival of a Titled Douluo.
However, the only flaw was Lin Feng's slightly upturned lips... Seeing Lin Feng's calm demeanor, Chrysanthemum Douluo almost burst out laughing in anger.
He ignored Hu Liena and the other two, who were frantically winking at him, and sneered, "You're quite good at pretending, aren't you? I'd like to see how long you can keep it up!"
Saying that, Chrysanthemum Douluo walked directly to the table and grabbed the menu.
However, in the next second, he froze completely.
He saw golden, glittering characters slowly appearing on the originally blank menu:
"Level Nine Menu (Mid-Grade)"

yunze thousand-silk silver thread noodles: 8000 gold coins.
dragon blood glutinous coral rice: 8500 gold coins.
