Start with full cooking skills, make money and become a lord

After leaving the grocery store, Cheng Yu walked into a garden mansion east of Bailu Town.

This beautiful garden mansion is inhabited by a country gentleman named Rupert Clapham, who is well-known in Bailu Town and owns a lot of land.

Cheng Yu does not plan to build ten large ovens near his manor. At that time, dozens of people from the Shadow Society will come in and out of the manor, which is annoying.

Anyway, now that he has four or five thousand gold coins, the land in a border town like Bailu Town is not expensive.

Just buy another piece of land specifically for building a large oven.

Under the guidance of the servant, Cheng Yu met Rupert Clapham, a white-bearded old man in his sixties or seventies.

"Boss Cheng Yu, what do you want to see me for?"

Rupert was leaning on a cane, and his back was a little hunched.

He used to eat Cheng Yu's egg fried rice, so he knew Cheng Yu.

"I want to buy a piece of land from Mr. Rupert." Cheng Yu explained his purpose.

"I own a lot of land, and I have some marginal land for sale."

Rupert said, and then told the butler next to him, "Gabe, go and bring my land deeds for sale to show to Boss Cheng Yu."

"Yes, sir."

The butler went to get the land deeds, and Rupert asked Cheng Yu to sit down and asked the servant to make tea for Cheng Yu.

After a while, the butler came to the reception room with a box of land deeds.

Cheng Yu started to choose from the box of land deeds.

Finally, he chose a piece of land in the northeast of Bailu Town, which was not too far from his manor and not too close, with an area of ​​1 mu (1 mu = 666.7 square meters).

"Mr. Rupert, I want this one."

Cheng Yu put the land deed in his hand on the table.

"This land is relatively barren and not suitable for planting. Are you sure you want this one?"

Rupert was kind. Generally, people who sell land will not tell buyers the shortcomings of the land.

"I want this one."

Cheng Yu did not buy land to grow crops, but mainly looked at the geographical location.

"Six gold coins." Rupert said.

Cheng Yu took out six gold coins and gave them to Rupert, and signed a land transfer contract with Rupert.

In this way, the land belonged to Cheng Yu.

A mason is needed to build a large baking oven.

Leaving Rupert's house, Cheng Yu came to the only flower shop in Bailu Town.

Locke, the owner of the flower shop, is a mason.

The large baking oven in his manor was also built by Locke last time.

"Boss Cheng Yu, what do you want to see me for?" Locke, the owner of the flower shop, asked enthusiastically.

"I plan to build ten large baking ovens, the same as the last one. Will you do it?"

"No problem, of course no problem."

Locke smiled happily.

Ten large baking ovens, this is a big deal.

"How much?" Cheng Yu asked.

"Last time I built you a large oven for 3 gold coins. This time I'll give you 10% off for 10 large ovens, 27 gold coins."

"I'll give you 30 gold coins, and you can build me a small house next to it."

"Okay."

Cheng Yu took out 15 gold coins and gave them to Locke, which was considered a deposit in advance. He will pay the balance after the construction is completed.

...

Back to the manor.

Mina, dressed in black, waved a big sword by the farmland to exercise.

Ywenni stood under the golden tree with a staff in her hand, using the golden tree to improve her talent and practice magic.

On a tree by the farmland, there was a cicada lying.

Meiweier tiptoed and slowly approached.

When she was only two meters away from the cicada, Meiweier rushed over at lightning speed, grabbed the cicada, quickly threw it into her mouth, rolled her throat, and swallowed it into her stomach.

"Fuck, Meiweier, what are you doing?" Cheng Yu walked over and asked in surprise.

Staring at Cheng Yu with blue eyes, Mei Weier said angrily, "The black-hearted slave owner didn't allow me to eat lunch, so I could only catch cicadas to fill my stomach."

"You even eat cicadas?"

"We, the Black Dragon Clan, are creatures at the top of the food chain. There is nothing we can't eat."

Mei Weier proudly raised her not-so-full chest.

"Want to eat? You'll be full."

Cheng Yu had a blank expression on his face and took out a can of pickled earthworms.

"You..."

Mei Weier was speechless.

Pickled earthworms are so unpalatable that even dogs won't eat them.

Cheng Yu was just trying to piss her off on purpose.

"Don't catch cicadas anymore. I'll make more food for lunch and we'll eat together."

Cheng Yu touched Mei Weier's head.

Hmph~

Mei Weier snorted arrogantly and said nothing more.

She sniffed Cheng Yu's chest with her nose close to him, then turned to sniff Cheng Yu's side.

"What are you smelling? Are you a dog?" Cheng Yu asked.

"Human, why do you have an unusual smell?"

"Really? Why can't I smell it?"

"This smell is the power of shadow. Have you come into contact with anything related to the God of Shadow?"

"Yes, I have."

Cheng Yu had just attended a meeting of the Shadow Society and was a little bit contaminated.The breath of those people in the Shadow Society.

Unexpectedly, Mei Weier could smell it.

"I am a loyal believer of the God of Shadow."

Cheng Yu took out a black ring from the system warehouse, and the ring was engraved with a fine spell as thin as a hair.

This ring is called the Abyss Ring. Every member of the Shadow Society has it. You can use the Abyss Ring to mobilize the power of shadow and merge yourself with the dark shadow.

"Huh? You have a strong power of light. You said you are a believer of the God of Shadow."

Mei Weier found that Cheng Yu was not only abstract in behavior, but also in faith.

Cheng Yu put the Abyss Ring on the middle finger of his right hand and raised his middle finger to Mei Weier, "Let you see my shadow power."

Seeing Cheng Yu raise his middle finger, Mei Weier frowned. Although she didn't know what it meant to raise the middle finger, she had an inexplicable urge to beat Cheng Yu up.

Cheng Yu used the Abyss Ring to mobilize the power of shadow, slowly blending into the shadow of the tree under his feet and disappearing.

Because he was a new member of the Shadow Society, the Abyss Ring that Cheng Yu got was only the lowest level Abyss Ring, which could mobilize limited shadow power.

After more than ten seconds, Cheng Yu's body separated from the shadow and reappeared in the field of vision.

This skill is perfectly suited for the killer profession.

"Can you lend me your Abyss Ring to play with?" Mei Weier asked.

"You are not a member of the Shadow Society, what do you want the Abyss Ring for?"

"Dark power and shadow power have the same source, let me see if I can use this to help me recover my strength."

Mei Weier's body has recovered, but her strength has not recovered.

"Take it and play with it."

Cheng Yu took off the Abyss Ring and threw it to Mei Weier.

This thing is not very useful to him, but if it can help Mei Weier recover her strength, it would be good.

[Mei Weier's favorability towards the host +1]

The system voice sounded in Cheng Yu's mind.

The favorability with Mei Weier increased a little bit, and the total favorability reached 2 points.

"So generous? Aren't you afraid that I will kill you after I regain my strength?" Mei Weier said with an evil smile.

"We have a slave contract." Cheng Yu said indifferently.

"Do you really think that the slave contract can bind me in my prime?"

Mei Weier glanced at the slave contract mark on the back of her hand with disdain.

"Can't it be bound? Then give me the Yuan Ring."

Cheng Yu stretched out a hand to Mei Weier, indicating that she should return the Yuan Ring.

Mei Weier: "I'm kidding, it can be bound, it must be bound."

...

In a dark room in Snow City, two black shadows entered the room from the crack of the door and condensed into two figures.

"Mr. Leader, have you heard?" A man asked another man.

"What did you hear?"

"The members of the Shadow Club are going to jointly dismiss you from your position as the leader and elect a man named Cheng Yu as the new leader."

"Is there such a thing? Who is this Cheng Yu?"

"It is said that he is a very rich chef who has just joined the Shadow Club and uses money to buy the hearts of the people at the bottom."

"This person actually uses money to tarnish our faith in the God of Shadow. We cannot let him stay. Go and get rid of him."

"Yes, Master."
