Chapter 208
Deep Realm, Mount Yeongryunsan.
Wei Zhongqi pressed his fingers against his forehead and watched the residents of the Deep Realm gather in his front yard. Today was the day of a special event—selling Korean food to the residents at the bargain price of five hundred mastery stones. The event was held in response to a petition submitted by the residents themselves.
“Please! We beg you! Lower the prices!” they had pleaded as one.
Initially, Wei Zhongqi sourced ingredients from Earth for his personal meals. However, word spread quickly, and soon the residents of the Deep Realm started flocking to his home, eager to taste the food themselves.
Following Kiriel’s advice, Wei Zhongqi had raised the price to an absurd level, drastically reducing traffic to his home, but also increasing the complaints.
“Who in their right mind would eat here if you raised your price to ten thousand mastery stones?” Everyone had scoffed at his decision.
He assumed they had given up, but instead, the residents had ventured to the Plains of Despair to hunt for mastery stones. A month later, realizing how arduous it was to gather ten thousand stones, they came as a group to plead for a price reduction.
Wei Zhongqi let out a deep sigh and began taking orders as the crowd pushed forward. The most popular item on the menu was ramen. The residents were utterly captivated by the intense flavor of MSG in the ramen broth. To top it off, they added kimchi and kimbap, devouring everything with voracious enthusiasm. Seeing this, others quickly ordered the same items.
As the ramen noodles boiled vigorously in a pot, Wei Zhongqi reflected on how things had reached this point. He divided the freshly cooked noodles into ceramic bowls and served them to the waiting customers.
“Ooooh!”
The residents couldn’t stop expressing their amazement, smacking their lips in anticipation. Picking up the forks Wei Zhongqi had handed out, they slurped up the noodles. Among them, one resident even used chopsticks, becoming an instant celebrity.
“My goodness! He’s using chopsticks!”
