This smell was simply fragrant and refreshing. In fact, it smelled even better than all of the previous Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup, and it ought to be the king of Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup. Moreover, the color of the soup was vibrant. Without the slightest impurity, the soup swirled gently in the pot. With each movement, there was an enticing aroma emanating from it. At that moment, the crowd swiftly looked at Christopher and thought the same thing. This pot is fantastic! Christopher smiled faintly. “This pot was passed down from my ancestors. It’s said that the magical effects obtained from using it can only be achieved by the Yard Family.” Upon hearing this, the crowd stared at him with doubtful eyes. Despite that, they had to believe him, considering that this pot did have a magical effect. “But keep this confidential. This is The Serenade’s secret. If any of you expose this, I won’t go easy on you!” Christopher’s gaze swept through the chefs. His eyes barely contained the slightest hint of emotions. At once, the chefs agreed. Scarlett stuck her tongue out, amused by how intimidating Christopher looked when he was serious. Sure enough, even if someone were to spread the word, Christopher wouldn’t be worried because no one would believe it. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, even he himself wouldn’t believe something like this. With this magical 10-second Instant Pot, he made ten servings of Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup. Under the joyful gazes of the chefs, the soups were sent out to be served. Meanwhile, Christopher didn’t need to worry about anything else. Within the next hour, alerts were constantly ringing in his mind. His thumbs-up points were increased by more than 30,000! Taking a look at the 10-second Instant Pot, he noticed that after the soup was scooped out, there wasn’t a trace of grease on it; it was still as bright and shiny as before. Christopher was astonished. This pot was amazing, and it even came with a self-cleaning function! He couldn’t like this pot more than he did. Just then, he put away the pot and kept it in his Interdimensional Cookware Storage Bag. He was relieved after everything was taken care of. Suddenly, he thought that the 10-second Instant Pot could perhaps be put to more uses; what he was using it for then might just be the tip of the iceberg.If he opened another restaurant and used this 10-second Instant Pot to cook, not only would he save a lot of time, but he would also be able to make more profit and, thus, get more thumbs-up points and obtain more and better things. At the thought of this, Christopher revealed a look of excitement and clapped his hands vigorously. Then, he went to Luna’s office once again and explained things to her. “You want to open your own restaurant?” Hearing this, Luna trembled, as if she was restless. Her expression was gloomy as she spoke. “Is it because The Serenade isn’t good enough?” Hearing this, Christopher froze and realized that she had misunderstood him. Shaking his head, he explained, “No, I’ll still work here, and the Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup will still be served as usual.” Just then, Luna’s eyebrows furrowed, as if she thought of something. Lifting her head, she stared closely at him. “How would that work? You’ll be very busy like this. Running from end to end will exhaust you.” A trace of joy appeared on his face in response to her concern. He thought that she was finally touched by him after he had helped her out so much, thinking she finally cared for him.“Don’t worry, Ms. Sears. I won’t be too tired. It’s just that The Serenade is a little small and can’t accommodate more people. If I’m somewhere else, there will be more people coming.” He wore an assuring smile, and then explained the reason clearly. Naturally, he didn’t tell her his objective of earning thumbs-up points. Not knowing why he wanted more customers, Luna revealed a hint of helplessness on her face and let out a light chuckle. “Right now, most of our profits at The Serenade are brought by you, so you can’t go anywhere!” Hearing this almost seductive statement, Christopher smiled abashedly. But on the inside, he thought, If you really don’t want me to leave, then come and seduce me! Not daring to speak up, he planned to find a restaurant or hotel nearby after leaving Luna’s office. He would be fine with it as long as it was a restaurant or a hotel. But after looking carefully around The Serenade, he realized that all of them were operating restaurants. Although their sales weren’t as good as The Serenade, they weren’t bad. If he wanted to get the right to operate one of these restaurants, he would probably have to spend more than a million. Just as he was contemplating on forking out a few million and buying a certain restaurant, Carl’s figure suddenly flashed across his mind. “That’s right! Carl’s hotel! With Brian’s help, I might be able to get my hands on it.” He clasped his hands and spoke to himself. Without hesitation, he dialed Brian’s number and held the phone to his ear. ...... At the Ministry of Commerce and Industry. During the past few days, Brian had been busy dealing with the person who was threatening Carl, and he sent the person to prison in the end. Along the way, he secretly tortured him before he could relax and lean against the chair. As he thought about how he was going to deal with Carl’s hotel, his phone rang. When he realized it was from Christopher, he quickly answered the call. “Mr. Christopher! How may I help you?” He spoke in an ingratiating manner. “Deputy Director Hughes, could you help me get my hands on Carl’s hotel? If you do, I’ll give you a serving of Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup for free.” Hearing the first part of the sentence, Brian was instantly resigned. But when he heard what came next, his expression was immediately replaced by a look of ecstasy. How could he pass on saving a million or two? “Of course I can! But this may take a few hours at the earliest, and it may cost a little money. But, it should be under 100,000,” he said in a straightforward manner, almost without a second thought. Hearing this, Christopher hung up the phone. As long as he had a hotel, regardless of what hotel it was, he didn’t have to worry about not being able to sell anything anymore. After finding an unoccupied space, he opened up the Thumbs-Up Online Mall and scrolled to the Instantly Handsome Pie and Beauty Soup. Without any hesitation, he bought them. “Ding!Congratulations to the Host for spending 150,000 Thumbs-Up points to access the recipe of Instantly Handsome Pie!” “Ding!
