60: Mobilizing the power of diners

"Hoo, it seems there aren't any pitfalls this time."

Lu Chuan had prepared himself for another system backstab, but seeing this, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"No, no, this isn't the system's style."

Lu Chuan carefully recalled the embarrassing predicaments of the first and second missions, and immediately suffered from PTSD, convinced that the system must be hiding a trick.

After much deliberation, he still couldn't rest assured, so he stroked his chin and paced back and forth.

"Could it be that there aren't many people at this wild fishing spot?"

"Or is there some taboo about selling grilled fish at a wild fishing spot?"

"I can't figure it out! I've never fished before, so how would I know the ins and outs of this?"

Helpless, Lu Chuan could only open his browser and start searching for knowledge on the subject.

"Hmm, wild fishing spots are characterized by complex terrain, diverse ecology, and predictable fish behavior..."

"Fishing enthusiasts, hmm, also known as 'fishing old-timers,' generally possess the following personality traits..."

"First, extraordinary patience; second, inner peace and magnanimity; third, extreme focus..."

"Hoo, these are all positive personality traits. So, fishing old-timers should be quite easy to get along with."

Lu Chuan searched through more than a dozen pages of information, but couldn't find any hidden taboos regarding the combination of "wild fishing spot" + "selling grilled fish."

Moreover, one piece of information specifically pointed out the unique preference of fishing old-timers for wild fishing spots, so there was no issue of there being no one there.

"Could the system really have had a change of heart and stopped messing with me?"

Lu Chuan said suspiciously.

The host's misunderstanding of the system is truly deep, sigh.

That "sigh" was quite profound.

Lu Chuan, whose thoughts were interrupted, once again gave the system a 'Great Desolate Prisoner Finger' gesture.

"Forget it, if I can't figure it out, I can't. Anyway, there's always a way forward."

Lu Chuan shook his head, no longer bothering his brain with it.

"Let me see, where is this wild fishing spot?"

The interface opened, and a miniature world map appeared.

Lu Chuan zoomed in with two fingers, then again, and again, and again... finally seeing the wild fishing spot marked by the system, located in a small forested lake near Yinhua Mountain.

"Nameless Lake?"

Lu Chuan looked at it, finding it familiar, and couldn't help but scratch his head.

"Isn't this the Nameless Lake where Dad took me swimming when I was little?"

Recalling his carefree childhood, a trace of nostalgia appeared in Lu Chuan's eyes, and a broad smile spread across his face.

The night grew deeper, but many people still couldn't sleep peacefully for various reasons.

stinky tofu Regular Customers Group (8)

In the group chat, the Regular Customers were chatting enthusiastically.

"Worker Meng: After today, the Little Boss will be setting up his stall somewhere else next week, sigh!"

"Old Chen: The Little Boss is truly a divine person. Whether it's the cold drinks and sweet soups this time, or the stinky tofu last time, they are all unforgettable."

"Old Li: I brought my precious daughter over on the weekend, and now she's nagging about wanting to eat the Little Boss's delicious food again next week. This is really worrying me!"

"Old Zhang: I'm even worse off. My wife and several children are all clamoring to eat it again next week. How am I supposed to explain it to them (bitter smile)?"

"Zeng Yucheng: Yes, yes, thankfully a streamer happened to go to the Haunted House for a ghost hunt and encountered him, and then the amusement park boss also filmed a video for promotion. Otherwise, we wouldn't have known the Little Boss had set up his stall in front of the Haunted House."

"Li Hongqi: It must be said, the places where the Little Boss sets up his stall are truly unexpected."

"Qi Yuan: It's a pity the Little Boss won't tell us where he'll be setting up his stall next week."

"Worker Meng: The Little Boss is good in every way, except his mouth is as tight as anything. No one who asks him gets an answer."

"Leng Hui: Isn't that precisely why we admire the Little Boss? To be so principled in how he conducts himself already surpasses so many people."

"Li An: I hear someone praising the Great One! That's right, the Great One is just that wise and mighty."

"Worker Meng: You shut up already!"

"Old Chen: Student Qi, you have many ideas, do you have any good ways to quickly find out where the Little Boss will be setting up his stall next week?"

"Old Li: Yes, yes, my precious daughter is practically driving me crazy. Student Qi, if you can come up with a solution, once we find the Little Boss, I'll treat you to all you can eat!"

"Old Zhang: That's right, I can also treat you."

"Qi Yuan: ...Everyone really thinks too highly of me, haha!"

"Qi Yuan: However, I do have a somewhat immature idea. I wonder if everyone has seen a very popular movie from a few years ago about finding abducted children. The method in it is very much worth us learning from."

"Worker Meng: Hmm? I think I've seen that movie you're talking about? Are you referring to mobilizing the power of the masses?"

"Leng Hui: That is a method. If the mountain won't come to me, I will go to the mountain. Since the Little Boss won't tell us the stall location, then we can mobilize the Regular Customers to search for him spontaneously."

"Qi Yuan: Mmm hmm, that's what I mean. We can create a large group, add the previous Regular Customers, and everyone can put their heads together and work together to find the Little Boss's location."

"Old Chen: Good idea. One person's strength is ultimately weak, but the strength of everyone together is a different story."

"Old Zhang: It does sound good."

"Old Li: Count me in!"

"Qi Yuan: Since it's decided, everyone, please add all the Regular Customers you've met in the past two weeks, and then have them add people too, to quickly expand the team."

As Qi Yuan sent the message, everyone responded in unison.

Subsequently, over the next period, the number of people in the group chat continuously grew.

However, the newcomers who had just been added to the group kept asking questions like curious babies.

At first, with fewer people asking, Qi Yuan and a few others could still explain.

But as more and more people joined the group, the entire group suddenly became as noisy as a wet market, with group chat messages flying non-stop.

Upon seeing this, Qi Yuan, as the group owner, annoyedly slapped his forehead and quickly modified the group name and updated the group announcement.

The Little Boss's Food Sharing Group

Group Announcement

1. Group Theme: A gathering place for Little Boss's street food enthusiasts, sharing the Little Boss's stall location for the new week.

2. Group Rules:

1. No irrelevant advertisements, arguments, or excessive spamming. Those who ignore two warnings will be immediately removed from the group chat.

2. After discovering the Little Boss's stall location, group members are obligated to announce it in the group as soon as possible.

3. No harassing the Little Boss. If the Little Boss's stall operations are obstructed, the person will be immediately removed from the group chat.

With the group announcement sent, the group immediately quieted down, and everyone seriously read the announcement.

After a while, people started raising various questions.

Qi Yuan carefully browsed through them and found that everyone's confusion mainly focused on two aspects.

First, why the Little Boss wasn't in the group.

Second, how to ensure that everyone would selflessly share the Little Boss's stall location.
