Chapter 138: Zombies, New Human

Chapter 138: Zombies, New Human

Xiao Feng vividly remembered the system’s words from last time.

When a zombie’s loyalty reached 100%, it would become a compliant entity at your command.

Filled with excitement, Xiao Feng approached the Shadow Corpse Wolf, extending his hand to touch it gently.

The Shadow Corpse Wolf obediently stood still, letting Xiao Feng stroke it.

Subsequently, Xiao Feng gave multiple commands to the Shadow Corpse Wolf: attack, defend, escape, and more, all of which it executed flawlessly.

Following this, Xiao Feng slowly mounted the Shadow Corpse Wolf’s back, requesting it to carry him forward.

Excitedly, Xiao Feng noticed that the Shadow Corpse Wolf complied entirely with these demands.

However, the Shadow Corpse Wolf wasn’t suitable as a mount. Despite its speed, carrying Xiao Feng significantly reduced its own pace. Additionally, its wings were pressed when someone sat on its back.

Moreover, although its loyalty was at 100%, it couldn’t be domesticated for feeding purposes, as this would slowly erode its combat will.

Realizing this, Xiao Feng instructed the Shadow Corpse Wolf to depart.

Through the example of the Shadow Corpse Wolf, Xiao Feng gained a new understanding of the power of the special recipes.

Returning to the inn, Xiao Feng began making batches of honey cakes required for Shelter No.1.

After preparing several plates of honey cakes, Xiao Feng began packaging them.

However, he encountered a problem: the existing packaging machine wasn’t suitable for individually wrapping the honey cakes, necessitating the purchase of a specialized packaging machine.

This shopping spree cost several million, and Xiao Feng also acquired a large quantity of stir-fry robots, significantly boosting efficiency.

"It’s time to complete this main quest!" Xiao Feng decided while lying in bed, feeling the invigorating energy of the Dragon Emperor’s Throne.

Recently, with the successful transaction of the five million honey cakes and the double delivery reward, Xiao Feng had earned a total of 20 million in income.

So far, his earnings had surpassed 50 million, which included the recent production of spicy rabbit heads.

However, after selling this batch of honey cakes, Xiao Feng had to pause sales because the honey’s raw material supply was depleted. They would have to wait for spring to produce more honey cakes.

While Xiao Feng was contemplating spending a large sum of money to elevate his level, a surge of energy suddenly erupted from within him.

"Is it time for a breakthrough?" Xiao Feng was taken aback.

This was Xiao Feng’s first self-initiated breakthrough in leveling up.

Touching the Dragon Emperor’s Throne (bed), Xiao Feng couldn’t help but marvel at its power.

The Dragon Emperor’s Throne could enhance absorption efficiency by 200%, making even breathing feel like cultivation.

However, only Xiao Feng’s culinary mastery is at the fifth tier, while other abilities remained at the fourth tier.

Subsequently, Xiao Feng spent 1.5 million energy to elevate his psychic power, Undead Fire, and Ice Soul Essence to the fifth tier directly.

Xiao Feng’s self-breakthrough in culinary mastery effectively saved him fifty thousand units of energy.

Finally, Xiao Feng reached the condition for fifth-tier advancement.

However, he started worrying because completing the main quest required five hundred employees and a hundred units of fame.

But within Yu Lin City, there was only Shelter No. 1 as a group.

To boost his fame, Xiao Feng realized he needed to venture out.

As for hiring five hundred employees, that was simple...

Thinking about this, Xiao Feng suddenly noticed the number of employees in his restaurant.

"A hundred and sixty?"

Xiao Feng stared at the figure in disbelief.

"There can’t be that many!"

Immediately, Xiao Feng started investigating.

After a moment, Xiao Feng understood.

The count of 160 employees included the cooking robots in the range.

"If robots count, then that makes it much easier!"

Xiao Feng was suddenly delighted.

The next day, Xiao Feng was awakened by a series of knocks.

"Boss, Boss, come out quickly!"

Excited voices of Poison King came from outside.

Xiao Feng reluctantly opened the door.

Since the last awkward incident when Gao Ya entered his bedroom, Xiao Feng had made a habit of locking his door when sleeping.

Dressed in beach shorts, Xiao Feng sleepily opened the door.

"Boss, come with me!"

Poison King pulled Xiao Feng’s arm and rushed downstairs.

Outside the restaurant, Xiao Feng saw a huge thing standing at the entrance.

"Is this... the mech brought back last time?"

Xiao Feng asked skeptically.

"Yes, I’ve had the research team modify the Scorpion heavily!"

Proudly, Poison King explained.

"The Scorpion has significantly reduced attack capabilities and enhanced defense. Additionally, they’ve installed a poison gas storage system, allowing it maximum storage capacity."

From Poison King’s explanation, Xiao Feng understood the Scorpion’s abilities.

This guy had turned the mech into a mobile poisoning device.

Moreover, sitting inside ensured absolute safety.

"I’m thinking of having a garage built for the mech!"

Poison King muttered to himself.

After freshening up, Xiao Feng started pondering the development of the special menu.

From last night’s contemplation, Xiao Feng felt he couldn’t waste this special menu.

The various dishes inside were delicious for mutants and zombies.

Xiao Feng’s thought was about how to use these delicacies to develop a new group.

Feeding and nurturing zombies solely to cultivate their loyalty isn’t worthwhile, unless they’re high-level zombies like the Shadow Corpse Wolf. However, the current zombies generally have low intelligence and aren’t close to forming a customer base. Xiao Feng can’t profit sufficiently from the special menu’s dishes by targeting zombies or mutants.

As Xiao Feng struggled to figure out ways to boost his restaurant’s popularity, a major piece of news arrived from Shelter No. 1.

"What? The main base in Qingyun Province is relocating north? How is that possible?"

Xiao Feng’s initial reaction upon receiving a call from Chu Tianxing was one of disbelief.

"The survivors at the main base in Qingyun Province number in the tens of millions. It’d be too costly for them to relocate collectively!"

"There’s no other choice. If they don’t move north, it’s a dead end!"

Chu Tianxing sighed.

"Recently, the evolution speed of the zombies far exceeds human imagination. Among them are leaders evolving intelligence comparable to humans. Now, they’re calling themselves the ’new humans’ and have launched a destructive attack against us!"

"The new humans?"

Xiao Feng’s eyes gradually lit up. Yesterday’s seemingly unrealistic thoughts seemed to gain hope with the changing world order.

Perhaps these "new humans" could also become a vast customer base for Xiao Feng.
