Global Dungeon: I Can See the Status Bar

Chapter 34: Chapter 34: New Task Type—Special Side Quest

Some might wonder why making food taste bad counts as food waste.

If the food is made so unpalatable that students refuse to eat it, resulting in leftovers being thrown away, isn’t that food waste?

Maybe the deceitful objects don’t care about this.

But Lu Wenwu cares a lot.

In fact, every Shen Zhou person places extreme importance on food.

Thunderous rumbling continues unabated, emitting terrifying sounds of fragmentation.

The remaining deceitful cooks look terrified, crawling out of the kitchen, shocked by the incredible scene before their eyes.

Even through the somewhat dim and murky large glass of the serving window, deceitful creatures can clearly see the ghastly sight inside.

[You have gained 100 free attribute points]

The system’s notification does not make Lu Wenwu pause his actions.

After five minutes, the suffocating frustration in his heart finally disperses completely.

“Disgusting stuff.”

Lu Wenwu musters strength in his legs and leaps out of the deep pit he hammered, twisting open the kitchen faucet to wash the bloodstains off his arms.

Heavy Cannon Gloves are good everywhere, except every hit causes an explosion, often splattering blood on oneself.

“All cafeteria cooks come in here.” Lu Wenwu glances to the side and says indifferently.

No cook dares to delay, hurriedly bunching up together and rushing in, fearing being blamed by this master.

No explanations, just raise a hand and kill a deceitful object.

Who dares to offend this ruthless man?

That ball-shaped head chef probably never knew why he lost his life.

“Dear human master, may I ask what your orders are?” A humanoid deceitful cook boldly asks.

“Can you cook normal dishes?” Lu Wenwu curtly asks, “I hope you can.”

All the deceitful creatures rush to respond: “We can, we can, of course we can! It’s that damned fatty who made us cook those monstrous dishes! Human master, your insight is clear!”

“Lunch is already too late, but for dinner, if anyone dares to cook the same food-wasting stuff from lunch, don’t blame me for smashing your skull and grating it into meatballs.” Lu Wenwu says lightly, casually tossing out a thick book he often reads.

“This is a human culinary encyclopedia, encompassing myriad manifestations. Learn if you don’t know.”

“Besides, since the head chef is dead, I’m the new head chef. Do any of you have objections?”

“None, none, of course not, you’ll be the boss of our cafeteria from now on.” A shrewd humanoid deceitful creature hastily fawns.

The rest of the deceitful creatures also eagerly praise.

The task notice may have said no way to be a teacher, but can’t I serve as head chef instead?

This isn’t teaching!

What, you say that being a staff means I can’t kill and establish power anymore?

Which eye did you use to see me as staff?

You say I’m head chef, do you have evidence?

Appointment book? Contract?

No?

A deceitful creature can testify?

I’ll punch you and see if you still have your deceitful testimony.

Gone, right?

Then sorry, guess you’ll have to die.

Brother Wu treats you like a brother, and you play tricks on Brother Wu.

Remember to speak cautiously in your next life.

After completing all this, Lu Wenwu nods in satisfaction: “From now on, I’m King Yama here, and you’re my little deceitful ones. Even if I tell you to slice yourselves up and deep-fry them, you’re not allowed to say ’no’! Understand?”

“All behold your wishes!” The shrewd humanoid creature once again shows ingratiation. “Human master, how should we address you?”

“Just call me Master Wu.” Lu Wenwu gives him a sidelong glance, “You’re good, while I’m not around, this place is yours to manage. When preparing dinner, each dish should have the maker’s name attached, any issues measure it yourself.”

“Got it, Master Wu, rest assured!” The deceitful creature rejoices, hastily pledging loyalty.

Lu Wenwu says no more, takes his few clients, and walks straight out of the cafeteria, leaving behind the deceitful creatures whispering with lingering fear.

[You have unlocked a special side quest—Respected Chef King]

[Quest Progress: 1/2]

[Quest Description: Quixotic Yu Ying Middle School has long suffered under its head chef. You can replace him! Even if it’s cafeteria food, it requires chefs to cook with care and attention. Show the deceitful creatures what real cuisine is!]

[Quest Hint: Serve as head chef and make food, gaining genuine recognition from deceitful creatures within the school.]

After killing the head chef and skillfully replacing him, a task notification pops up before Lu Wenwu’s eyes.

A special side quest, never had this before.

Even thinking briefly, it’s obvious the quest requirements can’t be completed quickly, so there’s no rush.

Seeing Lu Wenwu seemingly in a bad mood, the few following him don’t mention going to the cafeteria for food.

Being top-tier C Tier Transcendents, even without cultivation techniques, they can go days without eating with no issue.

They follow Lu Wenwu solely for safety.

Silently walking ahead, Lu Wenwu naturally isn’t wandering aimlessly.

His divine sense reaches out and scans, quickly confirming a deceitful object’s location.

“Prescription.”

Lu Wenwu’s simple two words explode like celestial thunder in Prescription’s ear, causing his entire being to reflexively stand straight.

“Brother Wu! You want me?”

Lu Wenwu pats his shoulder, speaking kindly: “Don’t panic, I know you’re well-informed, take me to find someone. Rest assured, if the task is done you’ll benefit.”

Prescription is overwhelmed: “Who are you looking for, Brother Wu?”

“The student council president and all officers.” Lu Wenwu smiles, “How about it, any difficulty?”

“None! I’ll complete the task!” Prescription says loudly, “Brother Wu, should I bring them to meet you or…”

Lu Wenwu thinks: “Find a place, both parties go there, saves trouble.”

…

That day at noon, all the deceitful creatures at Quixotic Middle School’s high school department learned of a major event.

Dozens of human transfer students had arrived at the school.

One particularly tough guy among them calls himself Master Wu, reportedly nine feet tall, blue-faced with fangs, and has a violent bloodthirsty temperament. A casual punch can turn even the fiercest deceitful creature into pulp.

His prowess reportedly can silence even the most timid deceitful creatures.

This human calling himself Master Wu, merely over the cafeteria’s unpalatable lunch, in a fit of anger slaughtered the head chef with power rivaling the school’s top leaders and took over the cafeteria staff.

Now, he’s not only the school student council president, senior class leader, and cafeteria head chef, he’s helped several other humans get some minor positions in their respective classes.

Reportedly, no deceitful creatures object.

Whether it’s the school cafeteria, different class students, or student council members, they all raise every hand they can to show unanimous approval.

However…

The original student council president and a few classmates suddenly disappeared…

Nobody knows what’s going on.
