The NO.1 Food Stall in the Wasteland novel Chapter 247

Chapter 247: Chapter 247: "Have I Really Regressed?

Once the new security arrangements were settled, the two guards who were about to take over offered to come to the shop two days early to go over the various duties with Ye Fan and Lin Zhou.

Shen Lu found them to be quite responsible. Since Xue Can didn’t have much to do and was coming over for dinner anyway, he went back to the shop with them.

Ye Fan and Lin Zhou had no idea they were about to be replaced until they saw Huo Qian and Wu Jun.

"What? You guys are the new security guards starting next month?" Ye Fan’s eyes went wide. "Wait, we’re already pros at this. If you’re renewing anyone, it should be us!"

Huo Qian shot him a look. "Ye Fan, you’ve gotten fat lately."

"That’s nonsense! I’m not fat, I’m brawny!"

Wu Jun said with a sincere expression, "Brother Fan, your reflexes aren’t as fast as mine anymore."

"Now that’s just ridiculous. If I threw a punch, you wouldn’t even be able to dodge it."

"Don’t believe me? Wanna test it?"

"Fine, let’s test it."

Since it was a friendly spar between them, Ye Fan didn’t use his full strength. Fifty percent should be more than enough.

Ye Fan threw a punch, and Wu Jun dodged it with ease.

Ye Fan let out a surprised "Huh?" "You’ve improved a lot lately."

"I have improved, but it’s also because you’ve slipped, Brother Fan."

Of course, Ye Fan didn’t believe him. He threw another punch, this time using seventy percent of his strength.

To his surprise, Wu Jun still dodged it.

’What the hell?’

Ye Fan stared at his fist, confused. While he wasn’t a Superpower User known for speed, there was no way he should miss Wu Jun when using seventy percent of his power.

’Have I really gotten worse?’

’But I’m on the verge of a breakthrough.’

Wu Jun patted his shoulder. "Brother Fan, get too comfortable for too long, and your skills will start to slide."

Before dinner, Shen Lu received a digital red envelope from Huo Qian, who said it was for the meal.

Shen Lu accepted it.

Needless to say, Ye Fan and the others must have put them up to it.

With two extra people for dinner, Shen Lu made larger portions of every dish and cooked a huge pot of rice—enough to feed twenty people.

Dinner consisted of braised tofu with pickled mustard greens, twice-cooked pork with garlic sprouts, stir-fried bean sprouts with chives, steamed egg with minced pork, and several assorted pickles.

The pickles were the shop’s newly made pickled scallions and green onions, as well as their standard chilled radish peels.

Huo Qian and Wu Jun were completely stunned, and they shot Ye Fan and Lin Zhou a look of dawning comprehension.

’No wonder they both put on weight,’ they thought. ’It’d be a miracle not to get fat with food like this.’

The thought of losing his security guard position filled Ye Fan with a wave of sorrow, and he furiously devoured five large bowls of rice.

Lin Zhou still looked as cool and aloof as ever, but even he, a man who rarely ate much, had an extra bowl of rice today.

After all, once he was no longer a security guard at Little Deer Cuisine, it wouldn’t be so easy to get food that could soothe one’s Spiritual Sea.

The corner of Shen Lu’s mouth twitched. ’Maybe replacing Ye Fan isn’t such a bad idea after all,’ she thought. ’He eats way too much.’

At ten o’clock that night, Shen Lu was already lying in bed when the system suddenly spoke up.

"Host, someone in the shop is heading out."

"Who?" Shen Lu asked.

"The man named Song Zhigao."

The system pulled up the security feed. On the screen, Song Zhigao was seen walking from the employee dormitory to the main gate, pressing the button to open it, and leaving in a hurry.

’It’s already ten o’clock,’ Shen Lu wondered. ’Why is he going out instead of resting?’

’And in such a rush, without telling anyone.’

Shen Lu had Lin Zhou follow him.

Song Zhigao didn’t go far, stopping in front of a club called X Club on Gold Street.

He stared up at the flashing sign, took a deep breath, and walked inside.
