Gourmet: Midnight Vending-Chapter 295 - 278: Ridiculous Quest Rewards_2

Over the past half month of setting up a stall to sell barbecue, Chen Mo’s workload has been maxed out!

The sales from just selling barbecue have reached 400,000, and after deducting costs, there’s still 200,000 in hand, which is simply unbelievable!

"No wonder those breakfast shop owners who earn thousands a month always say it’s not easy to make money. It’s only been half a month, and if we keep this up for years, no one can handle it."

Chen Mo stretched lazily and picked up the second-hand speaker Mu Mu gave him, "That’s it for today, everyone, we’re done for the night!"

The diners who were happily eating were startled, looking bewilderedly at the suited boss on the yellow car.

"What’s going on, Boss Xiao Chen? It’s only ten o’clock, why are you closing already?"

"Yeah, we haven’t eaten enough yet! It’s still early, and you can’t fall asleep right after going back, right? Why not grill for a bit longer?"

Chen Mo waved the speaker and when the crowd quieted down a bit, he said loudly, "It’s not that I don’t want to continue, it’s just that we didn’t prepare enough ingredients."

"Besides, here on Construction Road, besides our stall, there are plenty of other snack stalls, with all kinds of tasty and affordable snacks that you can try."

Next door, Li Chao’s hand trembled slightly, thinking Boss Xiao Chen truly is a good person. Not only does he not take all the money he can, but he also lets others earn. If everyone were like Boss Xiao Chen, the world would be a better place.

I guess there wouldn’t be any poor people, right?

Seeing Chen Mo starting to pack up, the diners really had no choice. They couldn’t just stop Boss Xiao Chen from leaving, could they?

Of course, Chen Mo didn’t feel the need to mention that after closing today, he’d be leaving Chengdu.

First, it was unnecessary to raise questions from others, and second...

Chen Mo noticed that in his mind, the side quest reward showed he’d completed the barbecue task in excess. Apart from the original [Blackboard] reward, there was an additional new reward!

This made Chen Mo a bit excited, eager to quickly find a quiet place with fewer people to see what the reward actually was.

Under the reluctant eyes of the crowd, Chen Mo hooked the sign, got into the cockpit, and slowly drove the car onto the main road, heading towards his usual parking lot.

The diners on Construction Road hadn’t yet realized that this farewell might be a permanent one.

"Why do I have a bad feeling, like something’s..."

"Like what?"

The little auntie, already full but still wanting to eat, slowly ate kernel by kernel from the corn cob. "I just feel Boss Xiao Chen left a bit hastily today, different from before. Maybe he won’t come back?"

"How is that possible!" Gu Fang said nonchalantly, holding a spicy corn skewer in her left hand and a cheese corn skewer in her right, her mouth stuffed full, "Who wouldn’t make money if they could, unless they’re an idiot?"

Liu Yuerong frowned and pondered slowly, "Do you think Chen Mo is someone in need of money? I mean, if he needed money, couldn’t he just help at Lu Fang’s with the beef and make enough?"

Gu Fang paused, realizing there might be some truth to that.

With Boss Xiao Chen’s skills, it seems he could make money doing anything, unlike her, who intended to use his methods to wage an exhilarating business war against Cao Tianrui.

In the end, I turned myself and the trainees in my shop into foodies, unbelievable!

"Even if he leaves, at least now all the street food in the night markets around Construction Road is cheaper than before, isn’t it?"

...

Parking lot.

After returning, Chen Mo shoved everything into the cabinet, which had an automatic cleaning feature. Plus, everything stored there becomes independently contained, which is quite convenient.

Then he went back inside the RV.

The purpose of the black clothes wasn’t just for temperature control but also to keep dirt away. Despite standing by the grill for a long time, not only was there no grease on his body, but there wasn’t even a hint of smell. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

He didn’t even need to change clothes; the black clothes were the most comfortable outfit.

Sitting on the sofa, "Claim the reward!"

[Congratulations, you’ve received the task reward: Blackboard.]

[Blackboard: Made from an unknown material, unbreakable. Odorless, and can change size according to your needs.]

Wow!

Chen Mo twitched an eye, feeling this blackboard was incredibly strong.

Odorless, meaning after using the blackboard, he could slice green onions first, and then continue cutting other ingredients on it without washing, not worrying about flavors mixing.

And the ability to change size is even more amazing.

But what really impressed Chen Mo was the combination of "changing size" and "unbreakable."

"System, I want to know if I can turn this cutting board into a giant board and use it to block a nuclear bomb or something?"

After all, it’s unbreakable; it’s as incredible as the law of causality.

[???]

Chen Mo knew the system wouldn’t entertain such a request, chuckled awkwardly, and continued to check the additional reward.

[Additional Reward: Dream Food Truck Transformation Voucher.]

[Using this voucher can temporarily transform the RV part of your dream food truck into another type of food truck for 6 hours.]

[Note: During the transformation, residency is not possible.]

[Note2: After using this voucher, the corresponding transformation type will become a fixed function in the smart drive system. Each transformation thereafter will last for 3 hours.]

After reading the reward details and introduction, Chen Mo scratched the back of his head.

"So, this thing allows my RV to transform into a random food truck? During the transformation, I can’t use it as a residence. Sounds interesting."

If it wasn’t almost bedtime, Chen Mo would’ve surely tried it out immediately.

But the experience voucher lasts quite long, with 6 hours of not being able to use it as a residence, he might end up sleeping on the street tonight.

"Xiao Huang, teleport to Jingzhou’s unfinished building at 4 AM tomorrow."

Having set the teleportation time, Chen Mo happily took a shower and went to bed, still muttering.

"Since the blackboard can’t block a nuke, I can at least turn it into a bed board, right?"

[???]

...

Jingzhou, Antai Garden.

"Mom, I don’t want to go to summer camp."

"Why not?"

Standing in front of the woman, Jiang Wenqing bowed his head, twisting his fingers, remaining silent.

"Wenqing, Dad has an important job and can’t go with you, and as for Mom, well...you know, if Mom went with you, your whole class might end up with stomach aches!"

Jiang Wenqing burst out laughing, "Mom, that’s not the reason. Even if Uncle Xiao Chen goes with me, I just don’t want to go."

Jiang Fei often said he must have accumulated good karma in a past life to have such a great son in this one.

At ten years old, he was in the fourth grade.

Yet, he was much more mature than his peers.

Zhang Yaling patted the top of Jiang Wenqing’s head, "Then tell Mom why you don’t want to go?"

Jiang Wenqing sighed, a little grown-up look on his face, "Well, since you’ve already signed me up, I’ll just go. Oh, and Mom, don’t worry, with Uncle Xiao Chen, everything will be fine. Last time during fire safety training, when I answered the firefighter’s questions, Uncle Xiao Chen praised me for a long time."

Zhang Yaling smiled, holding the child’s hand, and took him to the bedroom, "Such a good boy. After this summer camp, how about our family treats Uncle Xiao Chen to a meal?"

"As long as you’re not the one cooking..."

Zhang Yaling rolled her eyes, "Just go to sleep! Get up early tomorrow, I’ll pack some things for you."

She turned off the light and shut the door.

Zhang Yaling went to pack for her son. This summer camp wasn’t long, just a week, so a few simple changes of clothes were enough.

In the bedroom, under the dark.

Jiang Wenqing got out from under the blanket and sat up, leaning against the window, looking at the night scenery outside, with a young uncle’s face popping into his mind.

"Ah, Dad’s work timing is just unfortunate..."

"I don’t mind, but if Uncle Xiao Chen has to feel neglected too, what then?"

Jiang Wenqing’s little mind was in turmoil.

He wasn’t looking forward to the summer camp at all.
