Global Dungeon: I Can See the Status Bar

Chapter 37: Chapter 37: Wariness Triggered by Egg-Stuffed Pancakes

“Brother Wu, these egg pancakes are just too delicious!”

“Waaah, what were we even eating before!”

“Master Wu! From now on, you’re my grandpa! I want to follow you for life!”

“Twenty years in the kitchen, and only today I truly understood what gourmet is! I can die without regret, I can die without regret!”

Outside the cafeteria, Lu Wenwu pulled out his small… big cart for egg pancakes and was making them.

Those golden and crispy egg pancakes seemed to be emitting a faint golden glow!

This is absolutely not an illusion or a special effect!

They really glow shortly after they’re cooked!

Just like how the dishes in those cooking shows shine right out of the oven!

Beside him, Fangzi and a group of chefs were eating the pancakes with tears streaming down their faces, their tears uncontrollably flowing, barely able to speak.

Apart from saying “delicious” and “so damn delicious,” those with lack of cultural refinement couldn’t find any other words to describe the taste of the egg pancakes.

“Follow Brother Wu, as long as you do a good job, you eat well every day.”

Lu Wenwu spoke while taking out a few freshly grilled rolls with vegetables and meat from the stove.

These were special orders, meant to be sent directly to Spirit Heaven Mountain for Mao Mao’s dinner.

“Finish eating and get to work. Tonight’s dinner is casual; I hope you can do better with tomorrow’s breakfast. Can you do it?”

“Yes, Master Wu! We’ll complete the task!”

The group of chefs promised loudly, quickly finishing the remaining pancakes, and returned to their stations with faces full of anticipation.

The mealtime was approaching.

Lu Wenwu continued using the Eye of Insight to make the egg pancakes.

Whether this special quest from the King of Chefs can be completed depends entirely on this.

Ever since his Egg Pancake Cooking skills advanced to All Laws Connect to God, Lu Wenwu felt that there was something inexplicable yet present in the pancakes he made.

He didn’t know what it was.

But he could feel it.

At the same time, he had a premonition that consuming the egg pancakes continuously would provide some unknown benefit to cultivation.

What exactly, Lu Wenwu couldn’t say for sure.

Soon, mealtime arrived.

Countless deceitful objects swarmed in.

Human players also gathered and began exchanging information in the corners.

Out of thirty people at the start, only twenty-six remained by the end of the day.

Among the remaining twenty-six, apart from those who had purchased Lu Wenwu’s leveling service, all others were injured; not a single player was unscathed.

Even top players couldn’t ignore such a terrifying casualty rate.

“That egg pancake… smells so good… I want to eat it.”

One player swallowed, and their stomach growled involuntarily.

The other players deeply agreed.

They craved it, but none dared to approach.

The main reason was…

Lu Wenwu’s pancake cart was already surrounded by deceitful objects, leaving no room to move.

The deceitful objects knew that the owner here was a fearsome star who wouldn’t hesitate to kill them.

But…

They couldn’t help it.

The scent of those egg pancakes was just too tantalizing.

If not for Fangzi timely calling in dozens of Azure Dragon Learning Mutual Aid Association members to maintain order and have deceitful objects queue up, the entrance to the cafeteria might already have been completely blocked.

Lu Wenwu glanced at the serpentine line in front of his stand and pulled out a small blackboard. He quickly wrote a line on it.

[Egg pancake 100 Spirit Coins each, limited to one per deceitful object, only 100 available today, first come, first served, scalping for high prices means death]

Lu Wenwu had previously asked Fangzi; the currency that deceitful objects used was Spirit Coins, which could be unconditionally converted to system panel Spirit Coins.

One hundred Spirit Coins was a fortune for players, but though it pinched a bit for the deceitful objects, most could manage.

About the limit…

There was nothing to be done about it.

Lu Wenwu wanted to fill bags with money too, but he simply couldn’t make that many on his own.

Even though he was now a Transcendent, it was the same.

No matter how strong he was, he couldn’t speed up the cooking process of the pancakes, could he?

Unless one day, Lu Wenwu could use the Law of Time to help speed up pancake making.

The sky-high price of 100 Spirit Coins per egg pancake didn’t deter the deceitful objects’ enthusiasm; instead, their interest grew even higher.

Limited quantity!

Those who could eat it had true status!

This was personally made by Brother Wu!

And it was damn delicious!

Almost every deceitful object that tried an egg pancake would cry and exclaim that they had lived their deceitful life in vain until now.

Truly delicious to the point of tears.

The deceitful objects outside the limited range looked longingly at the early lucky ones, regretting and sighing as they helplessly entered the school cafeteria.

Even though the school cafeteria was free and no longer served dark cuisine, they still wanted those egg pancakes!

When it came to the later stages of selling, some deceitful objects finally activated their superpowers.

Lu Wenwu didn’t allow reselling, but he didn’t mind if someone bought a queue spot if they hadn’t purchased it before.

This led to the prices of the last few spots soaring, reaching hundreds of Spirit Coins!

Not only did the rich students participate, but even many deceitful object teachers started leveraging their financial power—no deceitful object wanted to give the teachers face by letting them cut in line.

This scene left the drooling human players in the distance dumbfounded.

In just a single dinner, Lu Wenwu earned a whopping ten thousand Spirit Coins!

Ten thousand!

If all were at pass evaluation, it would take ten dungeon runs to earn that much!

During the dinner time before evening self-study, some deceitful objects were happy, while others were worried.

The worried ones, right now, were in the principal’s office.

“Principal, that Lu Wenwu not only calls himself Master Wu and Brother Wu, but he’s also killed the head chef and several of our students. Are we really just going to let this be? He’s completely lawless!”

A middle-aged deceitful object director with a large square face, wearing a white and blue striped shirt and glasses, and with a large belly couldn’t help but complain.

Amusingly, the belt around his waist was tightly cinched over that belly, making him look like a comical fat gourd.

“Principal, you’re B-level in strength; you should personally go to suppress this headstrong human, right?”

The deceitful object principal, who appeared as a regular old man, didn’t even glance at the director, leisurely saying, “If you want to go, resign now and go yourself; this old man doesn’t want to court death.”

“Courting death? What do you mean by that?” The director’s face showed surprise and astonishment.

The old principal didn’t take up this thread, instead mentioning another matter: “I just went to queue and ate an egg pancake. You can try it tomorrow. One hundred Spirit Coins each, haha… it’s practically charity…”

“Principal, I don’t understand what you mean.” The director frowned. “I’m not smart, just say it plainly.”

“Plainly? Haha, do you remember the skill proficiency divisions on the human side?” the old principal asked.

The director nodded slightly, “Of course, they’re basically equivalent to ours, just some names are different.”

“That’s good.”

The old principal finally looked up, a strong apprehension flashing in his eyes.

“That human youngster’s method of cooking egg pancakes is at the [All Laws Connect to God] level…”

“What!?”

The director lost his voice instantly.
