The Guide of How to Be an Interstellar Tycoon

21-22

"That will work. They will sprout in three to five days," Gu Bai replied with a smile. Although his superfunction was low for the time being, the seeds watered by superfunction were much stronger than those watered by the nutrient fluid.

The Blue Star Gu Bai opened in the Second World had won him a prestigious reputation in the public. His customers would bring their family and friends over to try his dishes, and then the latter ones would tell their family and friends. The circulation went so smoothly that even if the public didn't have enough money to come to his store every day. His dishes were still in short supply.

The only thing unchangeable was that Mu Mu appeared in Blue Star on time every day and didn't leave until Gu Bai went offline. He was never absent.

Facing such a loyal customer, Gu Bai was very enjoyable earning his money.

"Mu Mu, I'm going to participate in the first competition of the Gourmet Contest tomorrow, so I won't open the store by then. Don't worry. I'll prepare your dishes for tomorrow later. Then you don't have to come over," Gu Bai said to Yin Mu.

After all these days, Gu Bai had a basic understanding of the wordless man before him.

Although Mu Mu didn't talk much, he was warm inside. Every time others tried to challenge and provoke Gu Bai, he would come out to protect him.

It was nice to have someone like him around.

He just wondered why Mu Mu couldn't go offline. He was worried if Mu Mu could bear it. He even wondered if Mu Mu was an NPC in this world.

It was reasonable that Gu Bai had such an assumption. After all, except for the players, there were also highly intelligent NPC in the online games. Even if the Second World was not a game, it was also a virtual world. The way Mu Mu acted was exactly like an NPC.

The more Gu Bai thought about it, the more he believed he was right. He even convinced himself that it was an accident that Mu Mu appeared in this world.

If that was the case, wouldn't it be a simulation game right now?

If so, did it mean that he was like a father to Mu Mu? Gu Bai chuckled inwardly.

"Where are you competing?" Mu Mu asked.

"The Gourmet Building. Why? Are you going to watch my competition?" Gu Bai smiled.

Yan Mu nodded.

The smile on Gu Bai's face grew bigger. "I'm afraid it won't work. I've never heard of a live audience, but..." He paused for a moment before continuing, "You can watch the live stream of our contest."

"Live stream?" Mu Mu looked at Gu Bai with suspicion in his eyes.

"I'll teach you," Gu Bai turned to the blank panel. He didn't really know how to watch the live stream, either, considering he was new here, after all. Just like Mu Mu, they both didn't belong to this world.

"I remember that the function of watching the live broadcast seems to be here. Look for it." Gu Bai searched on his panel for a while and then leaned back so that Mu Mu could see the content on his screen.

The air suddenly became quiet and their breathing sounds were clear. Gu Bai didn't notice until now that they were so close to sense each other's breath and heat.

At this moment, Mu Mu said, "Well, I found it."

His deep and magnetic voice brushed across Gu Bai's heart like an arrow and caused a ripple.

"That's good to hear. Now, I have to go offline and have some rest. The competition will be tomorrow," Gu Bai said hurriedly and then got off the line.

His heart was beating faster even until he returned to the real world.

Gu Bai frowned and didn't understand this. He could understand his feeling if Mu Mu was an impressive handsome guy because his face and charming voice would make it hard for him to resist.

But Mu Mu wasn't that hot, so Gu Bai believed he wasn't supposed to act that way.

He told himself that he only felt that way because he had been isolated for too long in his last life. If he lived here longer, he would get used to it.

Leaving it behind, Gu Bai told himself repeatedly and went to bed.

...

At the same time, after Gu Bai was offline, Mu Mu was transferred to the outside of the store. He stood there like a statue, but the sharp gaze in his black eyes was so threatening that nobody dared look at him.

However, he wasn't as calm as he acted.

Jun Molin reached out and rubbed his temples. He recalled his memory for the past few days and was shocked.

Ever since he was sent to the Second World because his spirit was on the verge of collapse, his memory didn't work well. He could only sober up every ten or fifteen days.

However, every time he woke up and recalled his memories, he was basically in the hotel or in a place where no one was present. He barely communicated with others.

This time, however, he tidied up his memories and found that he had been with someone since half a month ago. Every day, he would go to the store on time for meals until the other party left.

Whether he was conscious or not, he didn't like contacting others, but he didn't feel that way to Bai Xiaobai. Besides, ever since he ate the dishes Gu Bai made, he didn't accept other dishes made by others.

And even though he was awake in the past, the headache followed nonstop. But this time, he had a feeling that the headache seemed to have eased a bit. Although it was weak, he could tell the difference.

And that was a good sign, meaning his spirit was getting better. Was it because Fang Ruichen had found a better treatment? Or was it because he had eaten the dishes Xiaobai had cooked in the past half a month?

Jun Molin preferred the latter possibility.

His spirit had gone wrong for a long time, and he felt almost the same every time he sobered up. But this time his situation changed, along with the new people he got along with.

Jun Molin thought about it carefully. The first time he had eaten at Blue Star, the headache that had been troubling him had eased a little, so he went there subconsciously afterward.

However, it required further proof whether it was because of the delicacies that Xiaobai cooked.

If it turned out that his assumption was right, that would be great news for the whole empire.
