Mu Yunfan arrived at a fast food restaurant on the first floor, and found that it was a very simple, almost plain restaurant. There were hardly any decorations, just a dozen wooden tables in total, and the storefront was less than 30 square meters.
Mu Yunfan quickly finished preparing for the opening of the shop and pushed open the door. Looking in from the outside, there was a sign hanging above the simple entrance that read "Convenient Fast Food".
And so, the business day for the Convenient Fast Food restaurant began. It was now breakfast time, and a few minutes after opening the door, a customer came in and had a bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge with oil sticks.
After the customer left, a few more minutes passed before the second customer entered. And after the second customer left, it was a few more minutes before the third customer came in.
Breakfast time slowly passed by, with customers trickling in, sometimes even taking over ten minutes for a single customer to arrive.
Until breakfast time was over, the busiest period in the restaurant was when only two customers were sitting at the same time, and there had never been a scene of three customers sitting together.
Yes, business was not good at Mu Yunfan's Convenient Fast Food restaurant, it could even be said to be very bad. To be precise, it was only enough to barely make a living.
As breakfast time passed and it was not yet lunchtime, all the restaurants would be slow, not to mention Mu Yunfan's place.
At this time, Phyllis was still sleeping, so Mu Yunfan sat at the counter and passed the time. Just thinking about the fact that the super beautiful elf girl, Phyllis, had settled down here made Mu Yunfan couldn't help but feel delighted, his heart filled with various fantasies that every young man would have, and a big smile on his face.
Mu Yunfan was happily daydreaming, but suddenly, he remembered something, and the smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a solemn expression.
He had been fantasizing about Phyllis living with him, but had forgotten something extremely important!
That was, the business of his shop was only enough to get by, adding Phyllis would simply be impossible to support!
Mu Yunfan hurriedly took out the account book and pen, calculating and thinking of ways to save money. In the end, he concluded that if he and Phyllis were to tighten their belts and live a frugal life, they would be able to get by.
But how could he let Phyllis live a poor life with him!
Mu Yunfan exclaimed in despair, "Ah ah Ah ah! I am truly the most unfortunate transmigrator in the world!"
The cold voice of the system sounded, "It's all the host's own doing."
After finishing the exclamation, Mu Yunfan slumped onto the counter, with a look of hopelessness on his face.
So, here's the question, why would Mu Yunfan, as a transmigrator with a system that could even create god-level Sunshine Egg Fried Rice, be running such a simple and poorly performing restaurant?
It all started three years ago.
Three years ago, the fifteen-year-old Mu Yunfan transmigrated to this different world and was chosen to be possessed by a system calling itself the Chef God Development System.
This Chef God Development System was created by a chef god who existed in another dimensional world a long, long time ago. This chef god's culinary skills were unparalleled, invincible throughout the world. He was so powerful that he could even save the world with his cuisine.
However, even in his old age, the chef god couldn't find a qualified successor. When the old chef god reached his late years, he knew that he would never find someone who could inherit his god-level culinary skills.
So, the old chef god used all the resources at his disposal, gathering the world's top technology, to create this Chef God Development System.
The Chef God Development System traveled through various dimensional worlds and finally chose Mu Yunfan.
Although this system didn't have the bug function of lowering the IQ of the whole world, it was not weak either.
It could enhance the host's strength, and through divine inspiration, instantly teach the host any skills. Just like how Mu Yunfan became a peak level first-class warrior and learned master level comprehensive combat skills yesterday through the system.
But since it was called the Chef God Development System, its goal was naturally to make the host become a chef.
Therefore, in this system, whether it was enhancing strength or learning any skills, it required the expenditure of points.
And earning points required Mu Yunfan to open a restaurant. The more pure profit he made each month, the more points he would receive.Mu Yunfan just arrived in a different world, penniless and knowing nothing. It was too difficult for him to immediately open a restaurant, so the system kindly gave him 250,000 points to start with.
With these 250,000 points, Mu Yunfan could have a great beginning. For example, he could quickly earn a fortune by learning some skills from the system and then learn a few conventional dishes to open a restaurant.
All the food provided by the system, even the most ordinary ones, were far more delicious than the majority of food in this world. Therefore, Mu Yunfan was able to quickly open a thriving restaurant and start his journey to the pinnacle of life.
This was the typical starting point for a protagonist in a transmigration story.
However, at that time, Mu Yunfan made a huge mistake. Being young and reckless, he became arrogant after receiving the system and thought, "Why slowly level up when I can reach the sky in one step? I heard that the ruler of this country is a queen. As long as I make the most delicious food and conquer her with it, making her a captive of my cuisine, I will ascend to the heavens. Haha, I am so brilliant!"
So, Mu Yunfan spent all his points and bought the most expensive special dish at that time, the Sunshine Egg Fried Rice!
In the heat of the moment, he spent all his points without realizing a serious problem. How could he make the queen eat his Sunshine Egg Fried Rice? The palace had many royal chefs, why would they eat something made by an unknown person like him? He was just a commoner, and he wouldn't even be able to meet the queen.
There was an even more serious problem: the special dishes provided by the system were different from conventional ones. Conventional dishes could be cooked using regular ingredients from this world, but special dishes required spending points to purchase top-grade ingredients exclusively from the system.
So, Mu Yunfan, who had spent all his points, couldn't even make the Sunshine Egg Fried Rice! It's worth mentioning that although Mu Yunfan learned the cooking skills for the special dish, he couldn't apply those skills to ordinary ingredients to make delicious fried rice.
This was because the techniques Mu Yunfan learned through the system were specialized skills designed for handling the special ingredients provided by the system. These ingredients were very different from the ordinary ingredients in this world. If he applied those techniques to ordinary ingredients, he would only make very ordinary, or even bad, fried rice.
In conclusion, Mu Yunfan couldn't offer the Sunshine Egg Fried Rice to the queen, nor could he sell it as a regular item.
So, Mu Yunfan's situation was miserable.
In the end, Mu Yunfan, who had spent all his points, had no choice but to enter the kitchen of another restaurant and start as a lowly apprentice from scratch. After a year of hard work, Mu Yunfan finally learned enough culinary skills to open his own restaurant and had the capital to do so.
However, the rent in this world's bustling areas was as expensive as in his previous world, and Mu Yunfan couldn't afford any good locations. Eventually, he settled for a storefront in a corner of the Lighthouse Square.
Lighthouse Square was the busiest commercial center in Lighthouse City, with high-end gourmet restaurants everywhere, but that didn't concern Mu Yunfan. What he valued was that there were many cheap and convenient fast food restaurants on the streets in front of his location, attracting a good number of customers.
Mu Yunfan hoped to attract these customers to his restaurant.
However, things didn't go as planned because of the unfavorable location. Mu Yunfan tried many efforts, but he couldn't attract customers, and ultimately, his business remained bleak.
