Universe Infinite Canteen

Chapter 385 Collaboration

Boss Hu was in the children's clothing business, and he had found considerable success. However, like many reaching middle age, weight gain was inevitable.

Plus, with the various social gatherings he often attended, he seemed increasingly plump.

A recent medical check-up had revealed high levels of blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure, and under the supervision of his doctor and his wife and daughter, he had also started exercising.

He had signed up for gym and swimming memberships and had even spent tens of thousands on a weight loss tea, purportedly concocted using a secret formula handed down from imperial court physicians. After drinking it, he was always running to the bathroom. He indeed had lost some weight, but his bottom had suffered for it.@@@@

From this experience, Boss Hu made sure to locate the restroom before he started eating the Lotus Leaf Charcoal Cake, but after eating, there was surprisingly no reaction in his stomach. Explore hidden tales at My Virtual Library Empire

In fact, he didn't feel any discomfort at all, just a satisfying fullness right after eating.

This...didn't seem to have any effect.

Boss Hu put down his chopsticks, faintly feeling like he had been duped, and he wasn't the only one thinking this way; everyone else who had finished eating also noticed no difference.

It wasn't until someone weighed themselves again that they exclaimed in shock, "Wow, I lost weight! I'm down 0.78 kilograms from before!"

Hearing this, others who had tried the Lotus Leaf Charcoal Cake rushed to the body fat scales. After weighing themselves, the place erupted into excitement.

"It's true, I've lost 0.69 kilograms!"

"I'm down 0.85 kilograms!!! Hahaha, all the weight I gained from a month at Universe Infinite Canteen has vanished!"

Boss Hu also stepped onto the body fat scale with a nervous heart. When he saw the numbers, he was stunned, and after a moment, he said, "I, I'm down 1 kilogram!"

After he spoke, he patted his stomach, feeling it indeed seemed a bit smaller, not sure if it was an illusion, and he felt considerably lighter.

Envious glances were cast his way.

Without a doubt, Boss Hu was the champion of this weight-loss competition.

Later, someone even bought a body fat scale from a grocery store across the street and weighed themselves again, realizing it was almost no different from the one in the shop.

So, even the last bit of skepticism disappeared, and the place completely exploded with excitement. Originally thinking that Ma Lu was preying on the gullible again at 688 per rice cake, they now only regretted not having bought earlier.

However, when they rushed over, waving their money, they were told today's supply of Lotus Leaf Charcoal Cakes had sold out.

Ma Lu took the business card and also pretentiously glanced at it, "A gaming company?"

"That's right," Baldy replied, sticking to the script they had just rehearsed moments earlier.

"I am also a loyal fan of Universe Infinite Canteen, and I actually came here hoping to organize a collaboration with your esteemed restaurant.

"On the way here, I was still struggling with which dish to collaborate on. Since everyone loves the Atonement Cake so much, why not collaborate on this dish? Let's start with 500 servings, and my company is willing to pay 10 million for the collaboration fee."

This figure, once announced, elicited a gasp from the gathered crowd in the restaurant.

Although it was already known that Universe Infinite Canteen attracted wealthy big-shots, today was an exceptional show of financial indiscretion.

Even Boss Hu was stunned upon hearing the figure – 10 million for just a collaboration seemed enough to partner with top-tier brands. Yet, here this producer nicknamed Baldy was, casually planning to give that sum to a small diner.

Although Universe Infinite Canteen was no ordinary small diner, always bustling and often causing a buzz online, especially after being tagged by Angie, drawing in significant traffic, it was still just a small diner.

However, what followed this outrageous offer was an even more outrageous response from Ma Lu.

"A collaboration? Oh, let's not bother. What possible collaboration could there be between a restaurant owner like me and a gaming company? Not many of my diners play games anyway."

"What, don't they play games!" Boss Hu was anxious, hurriedly adding, "I love playing games."

Reminded by this, others also came to their senses and started claiming, "Right, right, right, we're all gaming pros, we love playing games.

"I'm Platinum Rank in Honor of Kings."

"I'm Eternal Diamond!"

"I'm the Supreme Champion... "

"I, well, I don't play mobile games, but I am a solo gamer, my favorite games are Sekiro, Dark Souls III, and Elden Ring."

Hearing this diner's response, Ma Lu couldn't help but take a few more glances at him, meanwhile signaling Baldy to pay more attention to this customer.

Loving punishment games and Red Ridge are a perfect match.

Seeing everyone's gaming passion instantly ignited, and even a septuagenarian grandfather clamoring to play games, despite doubts about whether his presbyopia could handle the game graphics, Ma Lu decided it was time to take the win.
