Chapter 654: 654




"Last minute mission?" Yuan Zhou frowned, an indescribable feeling started to well within him and caused him to fall into silence .

"A mission at this time?" Yuan Zhou muttered doubtfully .

The system displayed, "Yes . A last-minute mission . Do you accept?"

"Yes," Yuan Zhou accepted after giving it a thought .

The system displayed, "The mission has been released and is now available to be checked . "

[Unique Last Minute Mission] Differentiating the different types of fruits .

{Mission tips: Knowing all fruits is also an essential skill of a master chef . Host, please complete this mission seriously . "

[Mission reward] The fruits successfully named by the host will be given to the host as a gift .

(Reward tips: Knowledge is strength and knowledge is wealth . All the fruits the host can name will be his to do as he wishes . )

Note: This is a unique mission that would not be issued again in the future . The host has to name the fruits within the given time limit .



Yuan Zhou finished reading the entire mission tips with a single glance . He was somewhat astonished, also in some disbelief .

"Will I be able to take those fruits out the restaurant?" Yuan Zhou probed .

The system displayed, "Anything that belongs to the host can be dealt with as the host wishes . "

Yuan Zhou sank into a long silence . The restaurant was completely quiet, while the lights in the restaurant were brightly lit . Just like that, he stood in the kitchen as he took a good look at the entirety of this restaurant .

Abruptly, he spoke, "Thank you . "

It was very obvious who his "thank you" was meant for . The system immediately went silent . No reply was given .

"Let's start the mission," Yuan Zhou paused slightly and washed his hands before he spoke .

The system displayed, "After the mission starts, the host will be given one minute to name the fruits and list out their origins . The host is not allowed to check outside information during the duration of this mission . "

"Okay . " Yuan Zhou nodded .

The system displayed, "The fruits have arrived at the restaurant . "



Yuan Zhou nodded . Then, he found some fruits in an originally empty cabinet . The fruits were placed on a jade-white plate . There were two of them, two identical fruits .

"These are the Aksu apples from Xinjiang, also known as the Li fruit . It originated from the farms at the Red Flag District of Aksu Prefecture in Xinjiang .

The system displayed a short and concise reply, "Correct . "

Right after Yuan Zhou took the apple out of the cabinet, new fruits appeared in it . As before, the fruits were placed on top of the white plate, and there were two of them . This time, they were a pair of beautiful tangerine-yellow fruits that looked like they were glowing . The fruits were round like how most fruits would be . And on top of the fruits, a tiny protrusion could be seen, as if they were wearing tiny caps . They looked like a chubby ball wearing a cap .


"Dekopon . They probably originated from you, system . After all, the dekopons sold outside aren't this good . When one bites on the dekopon, it would initially feel stiff to the mouth . Then, it would melt, releasing a balanced taste of both sweet and sour . The dekopon is an extremely delicious fruit . "

Once again, the system displayed that he got the correct answer . The third fruit to appear was a Hami melon . It wasn't very big . About the size of a soccer ball, it fitted nicely into the cabinet . In any case, this cabinet wasn't that large .

"This is a Yubari King melon, right? It has an appealing aroma and does not have a heavy taste . The fragrance on this fruit can be clearly smelled, yet it is obvious that this is not the same Yubari King as what Japan has . Looks like this is another one of those fruits bred by you, System . " Yuan Zhou held the melon on his palm before gently placing it down .

The system displayed, "Yes . Correct . "

Thud . Yuan Zhou did not continue the mission . Instead, he closed the cabinet door .

"Thank you," Yuan Zhou voice his gratitude again while looking at the fruits on the table . He then took out a case so he could store the fruits in it .

Apart from the fruits, there were also flowers in the case . Yuan Zhou had not prepared any foods for this occasion . Instead, he had a bottle of liquor -- a spicy sorghum liquor . This liquor was the favorite of Yuan Zhou's father . However, his mother did not allow his father to drink too much of it . Therefore, Yuan Zhou only had a 100-milliliter bottle of this liquor prepared .

Then, he went upstairs and put on a set of blandly colored Han attire . Next, he left carrying the case . When he left, the sky had already completely darkened . Since Yuan Zhou was wearing some light cloth shoes, his steps were silent . He stood at the intersection of the street . Soon, he hailed a taxi . With a "zi" sound, the taxi stopped smoothly before Yuan Zhou . He opened the door, got into the taxi, and softly placed the case beside his foot .

"Sir, please go to Wuyue Hill at the western suburbs . Thank you," Yuan Zhou immediately said after getting onto the taxi .

"Ok . Going now . " The driver was a middle-aged man . After stubbing out the cigarette he was holding, he sped off .

The location given by Yuan Zhou was a cemetery located at the west side of Chengdu . Both his parents were there in their eternal slumber .

"You're going there quite late," the driver said after glancing at Yuan Zhou on the rear mirror .

"Yeah . But that place only closes at 10:30 pm . " Yuan Zhou nodded .

"True . Since there's no traffic, you can reach there before nine," the driver did a simple calculation and said .

"Let me use a shortcut . We will reach even faster," the driver continued, speaking crisply .

"Thank you, sir," Yuan Zhou thanked solemnly .

"There's no need for the pleasantries . Hold on, we will reach soon," after saying this, the driver stopped talking and focused on driving .

The Wuyue Hill Public Cemetery was located at the suburbs . To the north of the cemetery was the Bajiao Temple and to the south of the cemetery was the Chongguang Temple . Occupying an area of 200 acres, this was a moderately sized cemetery . The city center was quite far from the cemetery . Therefore, even with the taxi driver taking a shortcut, they only reached when it was nearly nine .

The sky was completely dark, while the chirping of the insects and birds could be heard from the nearby forest . Yuan Zhou stopped the taxi at the intersection as he wanted to walk the remaining journey . He had once heard from the elderlies that the Wuyue Hill Cemetery wasn't called that name because of its location . In truth, there was no Wuyue Hill in the suburbs . The so-called Wuyue Hill was in fact the name of the mountain god for the series of hills at the area .

The public cemetery was built on top of a dragon's vein, abiding by the ancient customs . The terrain below the cemetery had the shape of a turtle . As per the ancient customs, a turtle was the personification of the nine stars while the cemetery alone occupied seven of the nine stars of the turtle-shaped terrain, occupying the north and east side of the terrain while facing the southwest side .

In front the cemetery was a spring, signifying that the front of the cemetery was an aquatic dragon while to the back of the cemetery was a turtle, and to the left of the cemetery was a flowing spring while to the right of the cemetery was open and wide . Although this was incomparable to Mount Babao that was surrounded by a mountain range, signifying exceptional Feng Shui, this location was still decent . This was the best and closest cemetery Yuan Zhou could find .

It wasn't that Yuan Zhou felt that if his parents were buried too far, visiting them would be a hassle . His thought was but a simple one: wishing to be near his parents .

"Hu…" Yuan Zhou exhaled a mouthful of breath . The so-called intersection he had stopped the taxi earlier was, in fact, a location about one-kilometer away from the cemetery's main entrance, the entrance where a monument was erected .

If one did not have any superstitions, it was entirely possible to drive directly to the entrance . However, one kilometer wasn't too far . Yuan Zhou reached the entrance after walking for about ten minutes .

The visiting hours of the cemetery were from 9:30 am until 10:30 pm . Therefore, there weren't many people here now . Every now and then, people could be seen leaving after speaking to the tombs .
