Chapter 20 Transcendence Fourth Rule
After a brief few seconds, Garrett continued:
"Everything in this restaurant is of the highest class. I wouldn't even be surprised if the tables and chairs are worth a fortune."
Hervy frowned and grumbled incomprehensible words under his breath. He knew Lane and Garrett were correct.
The owner was fucking rich!
Sitting down, his depressed face lit up when he saw a piece of Siren's Melody Poached Egg on Lane's plate.
"Lane, give me that piece of poached egg, and you can have those Mana Stones," Hervy excitedly said while hungrily licking his lips and pointing at the small pile of Low-Grade Mana Stones.
Lane was pleasantly surprised, but just when he was about to open his mouth and accept his offer, everyone in the dining area heard an indifferent-sounding voice from within the kitchen.
"Fourth Rule: No customer can eat from another customer's plate."
[Host, would you like me to add that rule to the menu?]
[Yes.]
Immediately after, a new rule mysteriously appeared on the restaurant's menu.
'Fourth Rule:
No customer can eat from another customer's plate or bowl.'
Hervy was stunned before his expression changed to anger.
'Fuck, he must be messing with me!'
Lane and even Garrett felt that the owner was being too much. This was no different from bullying.
Cody and Coby, meanwhile, were too afraid to voice out their opinions. Ever since they had entered the restaurant, their senses had been on high alert, telling them not to use their Race's Unique Eyes on the owner. Trusting their sixth sense, which had helped them survive to this day, they never looked at the owner with open eyes.

Lucian's eyes narrowed as he read the quest. It seemed there needed to be an opportunity before he would be eligible for a System Upgrade Quest. However, completing the quest was easier said than done. It was no different than asking him to jump into a Dragon's mouth.
Lucian had come to Thunderfall City precisely to stay away from Harmony City. In the meantime, he would peacefully restore his Mana Veins and then increase his Mage Rank. However, just as his Mana Veins were restored the System was asking him to go to the one place he least wanted to visit.
Lion's Party might think he was an expert, but that was far from the truth. Lucian had not even stepped into the Mana Condensation Realm. If not for his Soul, which was a fusion of Ancestral God Lucian's Soul and Dao Immortal Lucian's Soul... and the weakling Chef Lucian's Soul, he would have been beaten black and blue.
[System, this Quest is impossible to complete.] Lucian complained, hoping the System would have a change of heart or maybe it might have made a mistake when making the Quest. He could only pray.
Without wasting a second, the System replied:
[Host, the System would never ask you to die. Each Quest given by the System is fair and reasonable. After all, if you were to die, I would die alongside you. I can assure you that there is a method available that the Host can use to complete the Quest. Good Luck!]
It was not as if Lucian did not know how to complete the Quest. In fact, the method to complete the Quest was quite simple.
Lucian had complained to the System merely... to complain.
He was still weak and powerless and did not want his name or even his appearance to be seen in a city as big as Harmony City.
If Chef Lucian had any good merits about himself, other than his ability to cook it would be the hundreds of thousands of web novels, light novels, mangas, and anime he crammed into his brain.
In every single one of them, the main protagonist somehow always ended up provoking a young master with a powerful background.
