Infinite Cafetaria - Chapter 318

Chapter 318 Secret Mission

 Ma Lu later checked the purchase price with Lao Hei.

  Finally, the purchase price of 3-star ingredients was set at 75 star coins per kilogram, 4-star ingredients at 200 star coins, and 5-star ingredients at 525 star coins.

 In addition, after being made into bacon, Lao Hei will pay an extra 125 star coins for every kilogram of 3-star ingredients, 180 star coins for 4-star ingredients, and 290 star coins for 5-star ingredients.

Ham takes longer to make, the process is more complicated, and the price is higher. It costs 80 more star coins per kilogram than bacon.

Ma Lu did the math. If he mainly sells ham, the selling price of 3-star ham can reach 280 star coins/kilo, 4-star ham 460 star coins/kilo, and 5-star ham 895 star coins/kilo.

 As for ingredients below 3 stars, Lao Hei does not intend to accept them because the profit margin is too low and takes up space on the smuggling ship. And for ingredients above 5 stars, Malu does not intend to sell them.

After all, when it comes to making money, it is definitely more profitable to make dishes. When people like Chen Zhengyi come to eat, they have to eat hundreds, even thousands of star coins, and the ingredients used are only a few kilograms.

Even when Malu suffered the most loss, he held a BBQ for Mickey and others. Those big-eating cartoon villains ate two to three thousand kilograms of his ingredients in one go. Most of them were low-star, and in the end they paid a full 8,000 stars. currency.

Of course, Lao Hei did not deliberately blackmail Malu. Even if he deliberately exaggerated, the risk of smuggling was indeed there, and since this was a partnership business, he had already offered the highest price possible within his authority.

 It’s just that this is the earth after all, outside the free shipping area of ​​the Grand Alliance, so the smugglers are destined to be only an additional channel for processing excess ingredients and making extra money. Malu’s business focus must still be on restaurants.

 But this gave him more motivation to continue upgrading the desktop farm and gathering bags.

Malu then sent 2,000 kilograms of bacon to the place designated by Lao Hei, worth about 1,000 stars. This also freed up more space for the hams. Almost two days later, he received a transfer from Lao Hei, totaling 3,065 stars. currency.

It also includes the reward for helping Lao Hei get a new body, so the total number of star coins on Malu’s hand came to 14,253.

 It seems like a lot, but there is still a long way to go to pay off the debt, and it is not even enough for him to buy new equipment now.

The owner of Maluto Hardware Store helped him find high-dimensional creations that could unlock equipment. The cheapest one costs 20,000 star coins. According to the old rules, you still need to pay a 70% deposit first, and the remaining 30% can wait for the smuggling ship next week. Come and settle.

 After paying the deposit, Ma Lu only had 188 star coins left. He still had to earn another 6,000 star coins in the next 6 days, but it was not a big problem.

　　After receiving several special guests before and receiving favorable comments, the reputation of the Universe Infinite Canteen has gradually spread among visitors from other dimensions.

Especially the love brain, in order to find true love, she is keen to expand her friend list. Her friend list includes not only ordinary people, but also guys with special status.

Love Brain manages her social account seriously, and has been posting wildly about the delicacies from the Infinite Cafeteria in the past few days, even though she is not a skeleton girl who eats.

But according to the research and statistics of Love Brain, short videos and pictures related to food have a high rate of comments and likes, so she will naturally not miss them.

  Coupled with the fact that the local promotion team composed of Valkina people headed by Gigina was also active in the city, Malu received 4 reservations at once, including a large order worth 7,000 star coins, which was comparable to the Chinese New Year.

But before that, Malu still went to the Temple City. This time he deliberately arrived a day late so that he could catch up with the 230th anniversary of the founding of the city.

Ma Lu himself is not very interested in celebrations. Although he can eat and drink for free and watch entertainment programs, the church of order has always been indifferent and abstinent, so their programs are probably not as interesting as the fringe videos on Douyin.

In contrast, Malu is more concerned about today’s extra program, which is why he rushed here. As an outsider, he can not care about the victory or defeat of the Church of Order and the Witch Alliance, but he cannot completely ignore the changes in the situation.

In addition, as a commander, it is also his responsibility to ensure the safety of his team members. Whether it is in terms of personal feelings or training costs, Malu does not want any accidents to happen to Yunque and the others.

So the first thing he did after arriving was to go to the Witch’s House, intending to pick up the witches under his command. However, he was told that the Witch’s House was closed today and no witches were allowed to go out.

Ma Lu was a little surprised, because witches were allowed to participate in celebrations in the past, as long as the knights reported in advance. He specifically asked the nun inside and found out that this was the Holy Knights. To be more precise, it was the new order that Levi had just issued last night.

It seems that Levi is not completely ignorant of the next actions of the Witch Alliance.

Furthermore, Malu also discovered that the signal near the Witch’s House seemed to have been temporarily blocked. Skylark liked chatting with people so much that Malu sent her a message, but the girl did not reply for a quarter of an hour.

 This was simply impossible in the past.

 Could it be that Levi has discovered that there is still a fallen witch lurking in the Witch’s House? Or maybe he just had suspicions and no evidence, so in order to avoid any accidents, he simply cut off the connection between the Witch’s House and the outside world on the day of the celebration?

Ma Lu was too lazy to use his brain to guess, so he simply asked the person involved directly.

 He is now a senior member of the Holy Knights, and he is still from Levi, so he still has this privilege.

However, Li Wei was not in the office. Malu rushed to the empty space. After leaving the giant tower, he was thinking about where to find Li Wei when someone unexpectedly tapped him on the shoulder.

Ma Lu turned around and found that the person standing behind him was actually the herald.

The latter looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he quickly stuffed a small note over.

“What’s the meaning?”

“This is what Lord Li Wei wrote to you specifically,” the herald said. “You are one of the few people he can trust, so only you are qualified for this secret mission.”

 “Secret mission?” Malu frowned.

“You will know after reading the note,” the herald said, “Remember, this note cannot be seen by a third person including me, and this mission will not be recorded in the files of the Knights. May the Lord of Order The light will always shine on you, Master Ximu.”

After saying that, he turned around and hurriedly turned into a side alley.

Ma Lu held the note and his frown deepened. Why did he have to work overtime on holidays? Even if he worked overtime, he still had to be so mysterious.

The key is that no matter how good Li Wei is at keeping secrets, you can’t stop Malu. He is illiterate and can’t understand what is written on the small note at all. In addition, Yunque and others can’t be contacted at the moment.

Ma Lu could only stop a passerby and handed the note over, “Read me what’s written on it.”

 “Yes, Lord Knight.”

Although Malu’s request was a bit strange, passers-by saw the knight’s armor on his body and did not have any doubts, so they immediately read it loudly.

“Recently, someone in the city has secretly spread the news that the Shrike is just pretending to die and will appear on the celebration day. You go investigate this matter and find out the mastermind behind it. Goethe of the Drinking Party should know something. Be careful, don’t Your purpose is discovered by others.”

After reading the words on the note, the passerby was dumbfounded and stammered, “Then… the evil fallen witch leader is not dead?”

Ma Lu snatched the note from his hand and comforted, “It’s nothing, it’s just a celebration day joke. Just go ahead and do whatever you need to do.”
