Chapter 41 - 39: Enhancing Core Competitiveness

At present, the infiltration of the Spirit Realm into the real world is not deep.Things or monsters with overly strong Spiritual Energy cannot enter.

The Five-Colored Wisdom Fruit is quite special. Although its quality is extremely high, reaching epic level and above, it contains very low Spiritual Energy. Its primary function is to develop the Brain Domain to master knowledge and does not possess powerful strength, which is why it can appear in the real world.

Let’s just say the Husky had really good luck.

Hang Yu had Pang Dahai make some food for the Husky first.

The Dog’s appetite was truly astonishing. Ten mountain chickens were chewed clean, bones and all, just enough to barely fill its stomach. Thankfully, the Husky can eat both raw and cooked food, and it doesn’t matter if it’s processed by Collection Skill or not. Otherwise, just feeding the Husky would cost a fortune.

The Husky was full and satisfied.

And was taken down for a bath.

"Come on, brother, let’s have a drink!" Pang Dahai raised a glass of chilled beer and downed it: "By the way, I’ve accumulated 40 points of Spiritual Qi. Am I awesome or what, impressive?"

Hang Yu said, "So-so."

"Hey, what do you mean so-so? I risked my life for this. You have no idea how hard I fought this time!" Pang Dahai said in an exaggerated tone, "I guarantee next time I can level up to level 2. Now, there are only a handful of level 2 people!"

Fatty was quite pleased with himself.

Now he already had 40 points of Spiritual Qi.

Through food, he could probably gain about 2 points of Spiritual Qi each day.

The Spiritual Qi in food is related to the food’s level and quality. Generally, level 1 ordinary ingredients contain 1-3 points of Spiritual Qi.

Spirit Realm food is easy to fill up on, and the Spiritual Qi from the same level of food can only be absorbed once every one to two days, unable to repeatedly gain Spiritual Qi.

Although currently the amount of Spiritual Qi gained from food is relatively small, there will always be some amount. Next time when entering the Spirit Realm, Fatty would be just a few points away from leveling up.

As long as luck isn’t too bad, he will definitely level up!

Hang Yu couldn’t help but roll his eyes inwardly.

He was really too lazy to crush this Fatty’s spirit.

What’s so proud about leveling up to level 2!

In the current era, strength is really important. If leaders don’t have enough strength, how could their subordinates feel secure?

If there’s no sense of security.

Then it’s impossible to ensure team cohesion.

So they must find a way to help Fatty level up this new level quickly!

Fatty said slyly while drinking, "Hehe, let me tell you, not only does Goddess Su have an astonishing bust, but she’s also astonishingly generous, offering a 2.5 million weekly order to buy all the food produced by the studio."

Hang Yu asked, "How did you decide?"

"What a joke, do you think I’m really that stupid? If Fatty Brother accepted that, then I’d truly be a complete fool!" Pang Dahai laughed, "I’ve already heard that Goddess Su is also recruiting chefs."

Su Yunbing might want to become self-sufficient.

Or she might want to directly enter the infinitely potential new food industry.

Fatty knew very well that the most important thing now is to open up the market and gain fame.

If he took all of Su Yunbing’s orders, it might seem like easy money, but he would miss the best opportunity to break into the market. Fatty only seems foolish, when in fact, he’s as savvy as a monkey. How could he agree?

"I’ll first take on a weekly order of one million, supplying him with thirty portions of level 1 food every day. After deducting the expenses and costs for the employees, we can still earn at least six hundred thousand."

Earning six hundred thousand in a week.

That’s quite a large amount.

This way, the studio’s cash flow is secured.

Pang Dahai is also looking for more buyers and partners at the same time. He wants to make the name "Fatty Brother Food Studio" famous, relying on no one client, otherwise, it would be too passive and won’t build momentum.

Hang Yu felt relieved, "Good, it seems you, Fatty, are not too smitten with the goddess."

"Hehe, I’m just a simple person. I like both money and beauty, but if I had to choose one, I’d definitely choose the money."

"Why?"

"What a joke, with money, you can buy beauty, right? Hahaha!"

Hang Yu expected them to say something like this, but didn’t expect him to say it so boldly. It seems Fatty is even more shameless than he thought, and seeing him so shameless, Hang Yu felt even more at ease.

"You’re doing quite well now, but don’t aim too high. The food market is vast, with countless segments within the market. No one can monopolize it, whether in the old days or the new era. The most important thing is to define our position and establish our unique advantages."

Fatty Brother normally doesn’t seem serious.

But when it comes to business and making money, he immediately becomes spirited.

Hang Yu continued, "I can solve the Spiritual Power shortage problem soon, so there’s no need to recruit too many people right now. But we need to focus on employee development, so our employees are more excellent and stronger than others. In the future, talent is the key competitive edge!"

"How to train them?"

"You should know that Production Skills themselves can be improved. The more skilled you are, the faster you cook and the better you taste. When the cooking level goes up, you can cook more advanced food. However, to level up Production Skills requires a lot of practice and Spiritual Qi investment."

"Hey, I get what you mean."

Pang Dahai understood immediately, "You’re saying that we should do the opposite of Goddess Su, not hiring a bunch of people, but instead reducing the number in the studio, going for a high-quality route, ensuring each member is reliable and strong, with skills higher than other competitors, doing what others can’t."

"Exactly, that’s what I mean. You’ll see the benefits of doing this in the future."

"Anyway, you’re the boss, I’ll listen to you!"

Hang Yu has already clearly realized that if it comes to money, connections, and social resources, he cannot match people like Su Yunbing. They could recruit fifty or eighty Spirit Chefs to increase production, but Hang Yu and Fatty don’t have that kind of capability.

As people realized the importance of Spiritual Food,

the value of Spirit Chefs has skyrocketed.

It’s foolish to compete with others using your weaknesses against their strengths!

Hang Yu has his own advantage, and it’s a unique advantage!

He has already started planting Magic Power Grass, and he has a formula for Spiritual Recovery Potion!

In other words, he will soon be able to make Potions. With Potions to replenish Spiritual Power, Pang Dahai can easily take on ten or even twenty or thirty. The cost of food production will correspondingly plummet.

It also enables employee development.

Let them lead the competition in terms of skill proficiency.

This way, over time, it can form a strong competitive edge, leaving other players in the dust.

After Hang Yu and Fatty finished dinner, the Husky, fresh out of its bath, was brought out. It looked like it had been reborn.

Probably due to the Miracle Fruit it ate, its fur became smooth and shiny, with a satin-like feel.

The Husky’s fur was the classic black-and-white mix of an Erha, with a long nose, triangular ears, blue eyes with black pupils. When it remained still, its gaze was particularly sharp, like a proud Wolf King. But if you looked more closely, you’d see the sharpness was actually full of goofiness.

"I love bathing, my fur feels so good, awoo awoo!"

The Husky was capering about as if it were frolicking.

Pang Dahai looked at this dog, then at Hang Yu, "Hangzi, listen to a piece of advice from a brother: it’s better not to keep this dog. It’s still not too late to regret now."

The Husky immediately charged forward, glaring with its dog eyes.

"Awoo, Fatty human, don’t think I didn’t hear you, believe it or not, I can bite you five times in a second!"

Hang Yu shook his head with a wry smile. At this moment, a news item on the Xiaomi TV wall caught his attention.

"Breaking news, breaking news."

"A few minutes ago, dangerous Monsters suddenly surged out within several metro stations."

"So far, over twenty casualties have been reported. All metro stations in the city will be completely shut down. Please do not approach the metro stations to avoid danger!"

"Repeat, do not approach the metro stations!"

"......"

The Xiaomi TV proceeded to play a video shot by a citizen.

The vicinity of a subway station in Jiang City was in total chaos, ambulances were wailing, and people were fleeing in panic.

Hang Yu showed a thoughtful expression and then beckoned to the Husky behind him, "Let’s go, Er Gou, you’ve got work to do."
