Chapter 1157: Hair Care Day Promotion
At the entrance of the Mercenaries" Guild, a young knight flexed his biceps to his teammates, and then punched hard into the test machine at the side.
“Bam!”
A dull thud resounded.
A red line slowly rose up, and stopped at the position of 2nd-tier.
“Did you guys see that? I ate a helping of ‘Buddha jumps over the wall" the day before yesterday, and then I advanced. See, I am now a true 2nd-tier knight,” that young knight said excitedly.
“d.a.m.n! You really advanced?”
“Impossible. How did you manage to advance? You are the loser as deemed by the captain.”
“Is this broken thing malfunctioning?”
All the mercenaries were stunned as they stared at the red line in disbelief. Someone even began to check the machine.
“It"s true. I haven"t told anyone yet.” The young knight looked very sure of himself. Then, he said to the scarred knight standing at the side, “Boss, can you bring me along for the next mission? I have already been sweeping the floors for three months.”
“Whenever you are stabilized in your tier, you can follow us on the mission.” The scarred knight glanced at the red line before he left.
“Yeah!” The young knight clenched his fists excitedly. He had finally made it.
“Boss, where are we going for dinner tonight?” the mercenaries asked as they caught up with him.
“Mamy Restaurant,” the scarred knight said calmly, but a blazing flame began to light up in his eyes.
“Are we going to eat that ‘Buddha jumps over the wall" too? Is it true that we can advance after we eat it?” The eyes of all mercenaries lit up when they heard it, and they began to ask the young knight about ‘Buddha jumps over the wall".
The news of the amazing effect of ‘Buddha jumps over the wall" quickly began to spread within the balding community and the knight community. It still attracted many people to check it out curiously.
“Oh my heavens. Boss Mag"s business is so good that it"s unbelievable.” Crease thought he would be early. He gulped when he saw the line with over 200 people at the entrance.
He took a quick glance, and there were many people wearing the city lord"s castle"s and Gray Temple"s uniforms. Crease didn"t have to give it much thought before he went to join the end of the line. For hair growth, lining up was nothing.
A luxurious horse-drawn carriage stopped at the restaurant"s entrance. The driver opened the door, and Charney came out. He was shocked to see the long line too. He asked in astonishment, “Why are there so many people?”
“You have no idea. Mamy Restaurant is the most popular restaurant in Chaos City now. Hundreds of people come to have their meals here every day. The business is always this brisk.” The middle-aged man who told him the news followed him out of the carriage. He laughingly said, “My lord, we have come a little too late. Let"s go and line up at the back.”
“Line up?” Charney furrowed his brows and shook his head. “I never wait for others. How much money do we need to pay to enter? Pay and we will get in, or at least stand at the very front.”
“Aiyoh. That would not do.” The middle-aged man tugged onto Charney"s sleeves, and nervously said, “The rules of this restaurant clearly state that we have to line up to go in. We will be blacklisted if we jump the line, and paying money wouldn"t get us in early.”
Charney frowned with displeasure as he said, “This restaurant has so many rules? Does it have a very strong backer? Even I can"t cut the line?”
The middle-aged man whispered, “See those two people at the very front of the line? The one on the left with white beard is the Lord of Fire, Kra.s.su. The one on the right is Lord of Ice, Urien. The person who is behind them is the deputy lord of the Gray Temple. The one who is standing at the center left is the city lord"s daughter, and the city lord"s wife is behind her. Further down—”
“Alright. Let"s go and line up at the back,” Charney interrupted him with a complex expression. He alighted from the horse-drawn carriage and walked toward the very end of the line.
He saw many familiar faces in the line. Their status and power were all superior to his. He really couldn"t afford to cut the line.
What kind of otherworldly restaurant was this? Even the lady of the city who seldom ventured out of the castle was in the line.
Moreover, this boss was a formidable person. He simply kept his doors closed, and let all these big shots stand in line and wait.
As long as one lived on the Norland Continent, they would definitely have heard the rumors about the two legendary great magic casters.
“Boss Mag"s daughter is the disciple of Lord Kra.s.su and Lord Urien,” the middle-aged man added.
“They are indeed two giant backers,” Charney lamented. With the two legends around, n.o.body would dare to come and seek trouble.
Ding!
Yabemiya opened the door and came out. She hung a sign on the door before she went back in and closed the door.
“Hair Care Day Promotion: today, the restaurant will reserve 25 helpings of ‘Buddha jumps over the wall" for paying customers who have hair loss problems. Please show the service staff your hair loss symptoms when placing your orders.”
The customer standing at the very front read it out loudly.
“Hair Care Day? What festival is this? Why have I never heard of it before?”
“Boss Mag is so kind. I was worried that I wouldn"t be able to have it today.”
“Isn"t this a little unfair to people like us who don"t have hair loss problems?”
“Seems like this ‘Buddha jumps over the wall" really can make hair regrow again! This is simply fantastic!!!”
The customers started to discuss among themselves after they heard that. Those customers, who came for ‘Buddha jumps over the wall" because of hair loss problems were ecstatic. They had been worried that they wouldn"t be able to eat it.
“Looks like this ‘Buddha jumps over the wall" is indeed very popular.” Charney began to feel nervous. He stretched out his neck to look ahead, counting the number of bald heads in front of him.
“Father, what are you doing here?” Right at this moment, a voice spoke up from the side.
Charney was surprised as he turned, and saw Adams who was suddenly standing next to him. He smiled awkwardly, but swiftly pointed at the middle-aged businessman. “We came here to discuss our business. We heard that this restaurant is good, so we came to try it out. What are you doing here, Adams?”
“I always come to this restaurant for my meals. I am also eating my dinner here tonight,” Adams said with a smile.
Smiling, Charney said, “In this case, have your meal with us. We have not eaten together for a long time as father and son.”
“Won"t I be disturbing your business discussion?” Adams was a little hesitant.
“It"s fine, Young Master Adams. We are already done. It will be my honor to have dinner with you,” that middle-aged man chimed in with a smile.
“Alright, then I will line up behind you.” Adams nodded and stood behind them.
Mag opened the restaurant"s door at five o"clock sharp, and smilingly said, “Welcome to Mamy Restaurant.”
The customers filed in orderly. He began to smile as he looked at the information about the customers plagued by different levels of hair loss that kept scrolling upwards in the Omniscient Door.
He glanced at the “System learning in progress…” in his mind again and smiled even brighter.
