Gourmet: Midnight Vending

Chapter 86: Life Is Looking Up


After a long pause.

Chen Mo slowly returned to the 28th floor, holding two banknotes, and fell onto the bed.

"I choose..."

His chest heaved vigorously, "Fantasy Mobile Dining Car."

With his thoughts clear, the system panel in his mind showed the dining car upgrading. Chen Mo closed his eyes, the scenes from earlier still replaying in his mind.

Yes, the Mega Dining Car could indeed make Chen Mo more money.

But the functions of the Fantasy Dining Car were simply too overwhelming, and its features were precisely the scenes Chen Mo had always fantasized about since childhood.

Traveling the world, tasting cuisines from all over the world, seeing beauties from every country!

The dining car is a bit small, perhaps it can't earn a lot of money, but as long as it's enough!

Chen Mo knew very well that even though the biggest burden on his shoulders now was the unfinished building project, in the end, it was less than a million. With the dining car business so good now, it's only a matter of time before this problem is solved.

Is it necessary to abandon long-term dreams because of the current difficulties?

Having made the final decision, Chen Mo put the matter out of his mind and did not think about it anymore. Normally, that was how things were; once something was decided, Chen Mo wouldn't overthink it—just get it done!

Even so, Chen Mo still woke up very early.

Level 3 Dining Car, it's hard not to look forward to it!

He quickly ran downstairs. Having experienced the last upgrade of the dining car, Chen Mo was relatively calm this time, but when he reached the first floor, he felt a bit confused.

"Where's the promised drag-style fantasy RV with a dining car?"

[That's a fully upgraded Fantasy Dining Car. What are you thinking about?]

Alright, alright.

Chen Mo speechlessly walked around the dining car. After the upgrade, the dining car officially transitioned from an electric toy to a motor vehicle. The front looked a bit like a Wuling Hongguang, while the back carried a large compartment.

The total length of the vehicle was over eight meters, which was quite a major upgrade.

Chen Mo first crawled into the cockpit.

"Whoa! Didn't see that coming!"

Inside the cockpit, besides the driver and co-driver's seats, there was actually a bed in the back!

This structure was similar to the cabins of large trucks on the market now; you could not only drive but also take off your shoes and turn over to sleep on the small bed behind the seats.

The bed wasn't very big, but it was big enough for an adult to sleep comfortably.

After getting out of the car, he entered the dining car section through the small side door of the compartment.

Hmm... Still a familiar feeling, familiar smell.

The inside of the dining car hadn't changed much. Various equipment was still in its original position. It was still possible to open the window on the driver's side to sell goods, while the Cloning Chef Machine was placed on the other side.

Just that the interior space was a bit larger, making it more convenient to operate.

Chen Mo was immersed in the panel in his mind.

[Chen Mo's Mobile Dining Car]

[Level: LV3]

[New Feature: Intelligent Driving]

[Experience Value: 0/80000]

[Note: Do you wish to claim the upgrade reward?]

The last system upgrade rewarded the task catalog function, which wasn't simple. With tasks, there would be more rewards. Chen Mo eagerly said, "Claim."

[Dining Car Upgrade Reward: Automatic Cleaning]

[Automatic Cleaning Feature: Everything you store in the cabinet, whether ingredients, tableware, or cookware, will be automatically cleaned. The level of cleanliness will match the type of item.]

Wow!

Seeing this feature, Chen Mo almost felt like stripping and running around the community.

Only those who often cook know that cooking is a wonderful process, but washing vegetables and pots is really a pain!

With this feature, Chen Mo wouldn't need to spend money buying all sorts of disposable tableware, nor would he need to bother washing vegetables.

Nice!

"Life is getting better day by day!"

Chen Mo happily crawled into the cockpit, took off his shoes, and lay directly on the bed behind the driver's seat with his legs crossed and hands behind his head, "Hehe, comfortable."

The space is indeed small, but having a socket by the head is very comfortable. Chen Mo had already made up his mind to bring his bedding down from upstairs later and live in the car from now on!

Along with the dining car's upgrade came new business hours.

This time, there was no prompt to wait for 24 hours.

[Your latest business hours: 00:00~3:00]

These hours... Chen Mo held his forehead.

The business hours have become underworld-like again.

As the experience value required for the dining car upgrade increased, the business hours were still only three hours. Chen Mo thought the current business strategy needed some changes.

The previous dishes would be temporarily retained, especially the noodles, which cost almost nothing.

The other dishes were made on the spot, and now the proficiency had increased significantly, so the speed was quite fast. Among them, Mapo Tofu was particularly low-cost and high-profit, and it was also well-received.

A slight change in the cooking process meant the dishes could also be served quickly.

Buns could also be made in advance, while pork soup with bits had already exited the dining car's stage, as it was too labor-intensive and couldn't be prepared in large quantities at once.

So, the current task was to introduce new dishes and increase the variety to boost sales, which was also a necessary move.

With a plan, Chen Mo directly called Jiang Fei.

"Xiaochen?" Jiang Fei answered the call immediately, "Is it that you can't handle the night shift lately and want to take leave? You could just say it on WeChat; why call?"

Chen Mo was amused by Boss Jiang's opening remark. Having such a boss was truly a blessing from his previous life, "No, Manager Jiang, I wanted to ask if those documents the investment department was supposed to handle a few days ago are ready?"

"You've finished surveying the first location?"

Chen Mo replied, "I assessed it for a few days and it seems fine, better to promptly start on the second location than to continue assessing it further."

Jiang Fei didn't answer Chen Mo's question but said, "You could actually take a few days of rest before starting on the second location, what's the rush?"

"Um." Chen Mo was at a loss for words, thinking when did active work become a crime?

"Boss Jiang, I think Manager Liao's idea is that the focus is actually on the second location, so just having a look at the first and third locations should suffice, while the focus of the assessment is better placed on the second location."

"Why bother with that much?" Jiang Fei remarked, "Alright then, come to the company today and bring all the documents with you. I'll have Liao Feng give them a heads up on the other side. Oh, by the way."

Jiang Fei lowered his voice, "The job is inherently easy, but your plan is to experience it firsthand by setting up a stall yourself. I reckon someone will target you, so if you notice anything unusual, quickly retreat. Anyway, it's the investment department's responsibility, don't act recklessly on your own."

"Okay, I got it."

After hanging up, Chen Mo sent a WeChat message to Mu Mu asking her to go to the company to collect the items.

He, on the other hand, opened the document sent by Liao Feng at the time and read it again.

The second assessment point: Huimin Hospital!
