The NO.1 Food Stall in the Wasteland novel Chapter 160

Chapter 160: Chapter 160: First Time Not Completing the Daily Quest

The rain was endless, and it grew even heavier the next day. The streets were completely flooded, and the first floors of some shops in lower-lying areas were half-submerged.

Little Deer Cuisine was relatively fine. It was situated at the highest point on all of Gold Street, so the water didn’t creep into the shop.

But the heavy rain blocked the roads, so customers couldn’t come, and business was hit hard.

For the first time ever, Shen Lu failed to complete her daily mission. At 7:30 PM, the system’s notification chimed.

[Ding! Detected Braised Pork Set sales 360/10, Kung Pao Chicken Set sales 260/8. Total revenue has not reached 70,000 yuan. Regrettably, Host has failed to complete today’s mission. The penalty is a deduction of 1,000 popularity value.]

Shen Lu: 〒▽〒

Shen Lu: "This is so unfair! It’s clearly the rain’s fault!"

[Therefore, the penalty has been reduced accordingly. Only 1,000 popularity value was deducted.]

Shen Lu: "Then how much was it supposed to be originally?"

[2,000 popularity value.]

Shen Lu: "Fine. I guess that’s fair, barely."

Remembering she had to go to the Bai Family’s home tomorrow, Shen Lu sent Bai Lei a message asking him what to do.

Bai Lei: It’s just a little rain. Don’t worry, my people will definitely come to pick you up tomorrow morning.

Shen Lu: Are you sure you can call this "a little rain"?

Bai Lei: You have to trust that we have the means.

Shen Lu pouted. ’They’ll just get a boat to pick me up, what other tricks could they have?’

’Oh well. It’s not like I have to figure it out. I’ll just wait obediently.’

The next morning, after breakfast, Shen Lu packed a container of old brine and placed it in her System Warehouse. Then she started waiting for someone from the Bai Family to pick her up.

Around ten in the morning, a deafening ROARING sound started.

Ye Fan sent Shen Lu a message: Boss Shen, a helicopter has landed on our roof. I looked at the logo on its fuselage, and it seems to belong to the Bai Family.

Shen Lu: !!!

’What?’

’What the hell is that?’

’A helicopter?’

’Hey, hey, hey! Can a helicopter even take off in a torrential downpour like this?’

Shen Lu asked Ye Fan to take her to the rooftop to see what was going on.

Like an eagle grabbing a chick, Ye Fan grabbed Shen Lu by the back of her collar and leaped up to the rooftop in a few large bounds.

Shen Lu: ╮(─▽─)╭

’Seriously, couldn’t you have used another method? This is so embarrassing!’

A black helicopter was parked on the unfinished rooftop. Its rotors were still spinning tirelessly, kicking up a huge gust of wind. The moment Shen Lu arrived, she was pelted all over by the flying raindrops.

Once the rotors stopped, the cabin door opened. A lean man in a suit came down first, opening a sturdy, large umbrella.

Bai Wanwan adjusted her sunglasses and climbed down the ladder. She was wearing a silver-white raincoat that covered her from head to toe. With the large umbrella overhead, not a single drop of the flying rain could touch her.

Shen Lu, by comparison, was much more disheveled.

"Let’s go. This stormy weather is the worst," Bai Wanwan said. Her tone was proud, and the upward lilt at the end of her sentence sounded almost like a spoiled pout.

Shen Lu’s feelings were hard to describe. She said a quick word to Ye Fan and ducked under Bai Wanwan’s umbrella.

"Don’t get too moved," Bai Wanwan said, glancing at her sideways. "I wasn’t originally planning to pick you up. You know flying in this weather is very risky."

Shen Lu: ...
