A Bite of Douluo Continent

Qi Han glanced at the line outside the door, a conflicted look on his face.

The time limit for this limited-time event is running out.

This task was posted around 6 PM yesterday, and the timer started the moment it was posted. Now there are less than eight hours left, and it seems a bit difficult to recruit a suitable delivery driver.

Just then, Qi Han suddenly saw a short-haired girl in a white Tang Clan uniform approach the notice board and examine it carefully before decisively knocking on the shop door.

The sudden knocking startled Qi Han, and Ying Shuangshuang, who was engrossed in eating, couldn't help but look up curiously at the door.

After hesitating for a moment, Qi Han decided to open the door for the girl.

Judging from her actions just now, it seemed like she was there to apply for a food delivery job.

But... can Tang Sect disciples also apply?

Qi Han wasn't very familiar with the rules of the Tang Clan.

After opening the door, Qi Han was able to clearly see the girl's appearance.

She was a pretty young girl with short black hair that reached her ears. She looked rather docile, and her petite figure was covered by the Tang Clan's oversized uniform, making her look quite adorable.

Clear purple patterns appeared on her white uniform, proving that the girl was a disciple of Mintang.

The disciples of Mintang are all agility-based Soul Masters, and the girl clearly fits this description.

However, to avoid any misunderstanding, Qi Han still asked, "Hello, are you here for a job interview?"

"Yes!" The short-haired girl blushed slightly, seemingly easily embarrassed. "May I try?"

So they really are here to apply for a job.

Qi Han was a little surprised, then smiled and said, "Then come in first."

Chapter 85 Cat-eared Girl?

Upon entering the small shop, the girl seemed somewhat uneasy, especially when she saw Ying Shuangshuang, who was eating rice and curiously observing her. This unease intensified.

"What's your name?" Qi Han looked at the girl and asked after confirming that he didn't recognize her.

"My name is... Ji Yunruo," the girl said nervously, sounding somewhat shy.

Seeing the girl's shy expression, Qi Han couldn't help but frown.

In his plan, the job of a food delivery driver requires communicating with customers and delivering food to their door, so a certain level of social skills is required. The girl seems to have some social anxiety. Is this feasible?

After hesitating for a moment, Qi Han couldn't help but ask, "The delivery driver position the shop is hiring requires frequent interaction with customers. Are you capable of handling that job?"

Ji Yunruo was taken aback for a moment, but quickly realized what Qi Han was worried about. She puffed out her chest, and her face showed more confidence. "Don't worry, boss, I can do it!"

Seeing Ji Yunruo regain her confidence, Qi Han nodded. She looked much better now.

Ji Yunruo has a slightly chubby face, which makes her look particularly endearing. Having her help with food delivery seems like a good choice, but Qi Han has another concern.

"You must be a disciple of the Tang Clan, right? Would the Tang Clan allow you to work in their shop?"

Ji Yunru blinked. "Tang Sect disciples usually have a relatively easy life. My current cultivation level is not yet high enough to complete the Mintang mission, so working in the shop is fine. As for sect permission... Tang Sect rules do not prohibit disciples from working."

Then there shouldn't be any major problems.

Qi Han smiled slightly, "What is your age and cultivation level?"

"I am sixteen years old and currently a level forty-one Soul Master." As she spoke, four Soul Rings slowly appeared on Ji Yunruo's body.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple.

As the spirit ring appeared, Ji Yunruo's body also quietly changed. Her eyes slightly raised, and a pair of fluffy black cat ears appeared on her head, with a hint of white at the tips of the ears. A long black tail slowly emerged from behind the wide Tang Sect uniform and swayed gently a few times.

Qi Han blinked and subconsciously reached out to rub Ji Yunruo's head.

The cat ears feel so good.

Eh?

Huh??

Ji Yunruo's face instantly turned red to her ears, and a strange sensation, like an electric current, made her body feel numb and tingly.

What is this boss doing?!

Ying Shuangshuang, who was standing to the side, forgot to eat and stared at Qi Han in astonishment.

"Ah..." Seeing Ji Yunruo's expression, Qi Han realized that his behavior was rather impolite, and smiled awkwardly, "Um... I'm sorry, I used to have a cat, so I subconsciously thought... Is your martial soul also a cat?"

Owning a cat is something from a past life, but petting a cat is something for a lifetime.

Qi Han said he just made a mistake that all cat lovers make.

"I..." Ji Yunruo's voice trembled slightly, still recovering from that strange feeling, "My martial soul is the Mist Cloud Cat."

Foggy Cloud Cat?

Qi Han was somewhat confused. He knew very little about the various martial spirits, and he had never even heard of the Mist Cloud Cat.

This ingredient list doesn't even have that!

Ying Shuangshuang, however, stared wide-eyed with curiosity, "The Mist Cloud Cat, second only to the Netherworld Cat among agility-type cat-type martial souls?"

"Yes...yes." Ji Yunruo finally came to her senses, looked at Ying Shuangshuang, and nodded.

Seeing Ying Shuangshuang's surprised reaction, Qi Han became interested. "Shuangshuang, do you know about this kind of martial soul?"

"Of course I know!" Ying Shuangshuang chuckled. It was finally time for me, Ying Shuangshuang, to show off my knowledge!

Ying Shuangshuang's two best courses at Shrek Academy were practical combat and martial spirit genealogy.

As for the other courses, she was a complete failure in all of them.

These two courses actually complement each other. The practical classes for senior students are held in the Great Soul Arena. When participating in Soul Battles in the Great Soul Arena, all kinds of Martial Souls may appear from the opponent, so it is necessary to be extremely familiar with all kinds of Martial Souls.

"Both the Mist Cloud Cat and the Netherworld Cat are top-tier agility-type martial souls, but they follow two different paths. The Netherworld Cat wins with extreme speed and sharp claws, while the Mist Cloud Cat's movements are as unpredictable as clouds and mist, making it difficult to fathom. It's hard to say which martial soul is stronger or weaker, but because the Netherworld Cat is the inherited martial soul of the Star Luo Royal Family, it is listed before the Mist Cloud Cat."

As Ying Shuangshuang spoke, her gaze toward Ji Yunruo suddenly became somewhat strange.

She suddenly remembered that a week ago, her and Fuya's unparalleled duo had been defeated in a two-on-two match at the Silver Soul Arena. The opposing team included a four-ring Mist Cloud Cat Soul Master. Although everyone wore masks during the battle, but...

That Misty Cloud Cat Soul Master...

She seems to be short, with short black hair?

Could it be... Ji Yunruo?

"Um...did you participate in the Soul Battle last week?"

Thinking about this, Ying Shuangshuang couldn't help but want to verify it.

Eh?

Ji Yunruo looked at Ying Shuangshuang curiously, "How did you know?"

Ying Shuangshuang: "Damn it!"

It really is the same person!

"Hahaha." Ying Shuangshuang chuckled dryly, "Well... it just so happens that I was in the audience fighting a Soul Master that day and saw a fourth-ring Mist Cloud Cat Soul Master."

You absolutely mustn't let her know!

Ying Shuangshuang, you must preserve your last shred of dignity!

Ji Yunruo suddenly realized, and smiled, "I thought you were the Soul Master from the team I fought against. I remember she was too..."

"Hahaha, how could that be!" Ying Shuangshuang waved her hand and turned to look at Qi Han. "Boss, you haven't told us the results of the application yet."

what?

Qi Han, who was suddenly called upon, fell into deep thought.

So...is Ying Shuangshuang changing the subject?

However, seeing the poor child on the verge of death, Qi Han decided to do a good deed and save her from the brink of death.

"Ji Yunruo, are you familiar with all the buildings, big and small, in Shrek City?"

"Boss, I know it all. Min Tang disciples are required to memorize the entire layout of Shrek City." When it came to work, Ji Yunruo's face hardened, trying to appear serious...

Bullshit...

Wearing cat ears makes it impossible to be serious!

In that case...

Qi Han nodded. "Then you can start work this afternoon."

ha?

Ji Yunruo's face showed a hint of blankness, and she spoke weakly, "Um... the boss hasn't mentioned the salary yet... and you haven't said what a food delivery driver does either."

Is this boss reliable?

Snapped!

Qi Han slapped his forehead speechlessly. He seemed to have forgotten to mention the salary during the last recruitment, and he made the same mistake again this time.

"The job of a food delivery driver is to have customers place their orders in advance, leave their addresses, and then have the restaurant send someone to deliver the food to their door. That's called food delivery. The job of the delivery driver is to deliver the food ordered by the customers to the address they left."

"As for the compensation..." Qi Han frowned and pondered for a moment, "One hundred gold soul coins per month, two free meals a day, as long as you don't waste food, and an extra silver soul coin commission for each delivery, what do you think?"

Ji Yunruo's eyes lit up, "Deal!"

Chapter 86 Food Delivery Rules

In a sense, it was inevitable that small shops would develop takeout services.

The shop's reputation has grown significantly since then, with a constant stream of customers queuing outside every day, and some even complaining that they can't get a turn.

Qi Han had even considered implementing a reservation system before.

However, implementing a reservation system in Douluo Continent was quite difficult. If scalpers or similar issues were to emerge, Qi Han would have to find a way to curb them. Therefore, this idea was ultimately abandoned.

The shop didn't have many customers at first, but Qi Han still managed to handle taking orders, cooking, and collecting money all by himself with ease.

Later, the shop became incredibly popular, and Qi Han was busy running around by himself. The customers also complained about the long wait, so the system timely issued a task for Qi Han to hire a waiter.
