Horrible rules and strange stories prohibit cheating!

Chapter 69 Late Night Hot Pot Restaurant (4)

Huo Ran pressed the button.

"The guests at table 6 have been given the opportunity to answer." The waiters all faced the direction of Huo Ran's table without blinking. "Please answer."

The waitress gave a stiff smile: "Guest, what is the answer?"

Everyone looks this way.

Some hope that she will answer correctly, so that they can test whether there is any danger in answering correctly and whether vegetarian dishes can be eaten.

Some people were hoping that she would get the answer wrong. After all, if there was one less person in the dungeon, the reward for clearing the level at the end would be huge.

And there are only 5 clearance places, so everyone is eager for others to break the rules.

Huo Ran: "Ears."

The waitress sighed and said with great pity: "Guest, are you sure this is the answer? Think about it again?"

Although Huo Ran's brain was so hungry that she could barely distinguish between right and wrong, she was not going to be fooled.

"I'm sure. It's the ears."

The waitress shook her head and sighed, and asked again: "Are you sure you don't want to change it, guest? If you answer wrong..."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't I make it clear enough?" Huo Ran looked up, with murderous intent in his cold eyes, "Is this how you treat customers in your store?"

"Call your manager, I want to complain."

The waitress opened her mouth in disbelief: "...Guest, what did you say?"

"Your ears don't work, so just ask your manager to listen to me. The manager won't have bad ears, right?" Huo Ran was very anxious because of hunger, and his patience was drastically reduced. "Where is the manager? Why don't you go find me?"

The waitress smiled politely: "Our manager is very busy. If you have anything, just tell me. By the way, your answer is correct. I will get the reward for you right now. Please don't embarrass me... "

"Are you afraid that I will file a complaint against you?"

The waitress turned around quickly: "How could that be? Guest, I'll go to the kitchen to get the vegetarian dishes."

Huo Hansong was already lying on the table hungry. He raised his arms in pain and was about to grab the bottom of the pot.

Huo Ran had already grabbed his and Lu Yi's chopsticks in his hands to prevent them from eating them unprepared.

Huo Ran grabbed it and shook his head worriedly: "Dad, please bear with me a little longer, the vegetarian food will be here soon."

Huo Hansong nodded stiffly and slowly, sitting aside and making no sound.

All eyes were focused on the kitchen, waiting for what the waitress would bring out this time.

What will it be?
Will it really be a vegetarian dish, or another fatal trap?

Suddenly, the in-store radio sounded again.

This time it was a man's voice.

"Hello everyone, I am the manager of our store. As a sudden notice, the business in the store is booming and some special guests have been attracted. However, the existing tables are already full, so please forgive me for my unauthorized decision——"

"Special guests will eat at the same table as everyone present. To express our apology, we will give each table a plate of vegetarian dishes for free."

"The special guests will arrive in ten minutes. I wish them a pleasant meal."

The hotpot restaurant was silent, and no one understood what it meant.

"Special...guest?"

“Where can we share a hot pot table?”

"Sharing a table is the next best thing. I'm just afraid that the special guests... aren't human beings."

He Qingqing took out the tissue in her mouth and whispered: "...Zhang Jianguo!"

Huo Ran raised his head: "What's wrong?"

He Qingqing took a careful look at the waiters and saw that no one was paying attention. He balled up the paper in his hand and threw it to her.

Huo Ran caught it.

"This is……"

A bunch of crooked phone numbers?

Huo Ran memorized the phone number on the paper ball and threw the paper ball into the rolling red soup.

Huo Ran nodded: "Thank you. If I have any clues, I will share them with you." He Qingqing opened her mouth to say something, and the waitress came out of the kitchen.

She held a plate of green vegetables in her left hand and a plate of pig tails in her right hand.

She came over with a weird smile on her face.

"Three guests, here are the rewards for correct answers and the pig tails ordered. Please dine."

Lu Yi and Huo Hansong raised their heads suddenly, staring at Qing Cai.

The vegetarian dishes finally arrived.

Huo Ran moved both plates to his side and looked at the vegetables carefully.

Nothing unusual.

Huoran picked up the green vegetables and put them into the white soup.

The waitress' smile grew bigger and bigger, and Huo Ran suddenly turned her hand and threw it into the red soup.

Seeing the waitress's smile disappear, she suddenly raised the corners of her mouth.

The smile wouldn't disappear, it just moved to her face.

She knew the fatal condition triggered by the boy at table 3 just now.

Lu Yi and Huo Hansong were drooling, staring at the green vegetables tumbling in the pot without blinking.

Huo Ran turned to look at the waitress: "What are you still doing here? If you don't leave, it will affect my appetite."

The waitress' face froze and she smiled: "The rules of our hot pot restaurant are that you must watch the guests eat the complimentary dishes without wasting it. When the guests finish eating, I will naturally leave."

Huo Ran fiddled with the vegetables in the pot, took them out, and put them in his bowl.

Lu Yi and Huo Hansong watched eagerly.

Huo Ran smelled it, and it was still spicy green vegetables.

All players are also observing here.

If she is fine after eating vegetables, does that mean this dungeon can survive by eating vegetables?

So as long as everyone answers the puzzles evenly, no one will go hungry!
Huo Ran picked up the green vegetables and put it in his mouth while staring at the expression of the waitress beside him.

The waitress was still smiling.

"The service attitude is really good." Huo Ran praised.

The waitress modestly said: "I can bring a good mood to the guests..."

"I'll go to your manager to praise you later." Huo Ran emphasized the word "good".

The waitress gritted her teeth and smiled: "...Then I won't bother the guests, it's all what I should do. Please come and eat."

Huo Ran watched the waitress stare closely at the red-oiled vegetables on her chopsticks. When she picked up the vegetables one centimeter away from her mouth, she put them down again.

The waitress was annoyed: "Are you kidding me?"

Huo Ran picked up the hot teapot next to him and poured it into the cup, then put the vegetables in, rinsed them, and took them out.

The vegetable leaves that were originally stained with red oil looked much lighter now.

Huo Ran innocently said: "I can't eat spicy food very well. What's wrong with the rinse? Or is there a rule in your store that you can't rinse the food?"

"..." The waitress thought carefully and it seemed that there was indeed no such rule. She could only suppress the urgency in her heart and said, "There is no such rule..."

"That's it."

Huo Ran put the green vegetables into his mouth.

The green vegetables have a little spicy taste in the mouth, which is very delicious.

Huo Ran didn't speak or eat, and waited quietly to see if the rule was triggered.

Everyone is watching too.

A few minutes passed and nothing happened.

Huo Ran felt relieved and poured a plate of green vegetables into the red soup, rinsed it several times with tea, and put it into his parents' bowls.
