Chapter 28 O'Neill Graduates
Ronan closed the shop.
Before he came into this world, he never thought he would become a chef. Next door, Oonali was still constantly making the Four Beauties and Eight King Kong dishes.
Latilia sat in her chair, still eating her tomato and egg noodles.
Ronan has no immediate plans to have Latilia cook these dishes.
Now Ronan won't reveal his identity to improve efficiency.
What Ronan is most concerned about is the large number of people who are likely to upload videos tonight.
This is just Ronan's conjecture.
But what if it comes true?
Those who can find this website to log in and post videos are mostly people who harbor resentment and are determined to get revenge.
Ronan felt that while this situation might not be common in the second world, it was certainly not unheard of.
People always love to join in the fun, and Ronan believed that there would be quite a few people willing to upload their own facial photos and try to gain even the slightest chance of success.
After Latilia left, the entire shop officially closed down.
Ronan remarked with some emotion, "I really envy the residents of this world who can spend so much time enjoying a free life every day."
Now Ronan suddenly felt uncertain. He was really unsure whether there were many people in this world who could harm others and cause others to feel guilty. This was a question worth pondering.
However, Ronan wasn't particularly worried, because there were still many officially designed ghost stories.
These ghost stories all have their own narratives, and the worldviews of these local second-generation games, which are already highly narrative, have been fully laid out.
The constant orchestration of these ghost stories by evil people creates a breeding ground for such emotional needs.
Ronan then glanced at today's settlement panel.
[Hello Capital Citizen Handbook]
[Citizen of Justice: Ronan]
Current star rating: 4.73
Merit Points: 238
[lv5]
The next level requires 500 merit points.
【"explode"】
Kneel down
【"Substitute Doll"】
【Absolute Cuisine】
[Occupation: Restaurant owner/shareholder]
You've already achieved success in the catering industry, and your goal is to continuously expand your business empire and make it even stronger.
[Upgrade Requirements: Serve 1,000 travelers well, and 100 of them are willing to rate you, with the ratings meeting the requirements]
You have served 786 travelers.
A total of 2000 merit points were earned.
[Current star rating: 4.69]
Ronan was a little flustered when he saw his star rating drop again. However, the drop wasn't too significant, and his star rating should stabilize once the visitor traffic calms down.
He directly opened and viewed Onali's panel.
Three thousand merit points weren't enough to upgrade. Ronan knew that prioritizing upgrading Onali's stats was a crucial choice.
After upgrading Oonali's panel, her speed and basic attributes will increase, and she may also unlock more skills.
Most importantly, Oona's attribute panel is already very powerful, and after leveling up, it can also provide Ronan with corresponding basic values, which is much more beneficial than leveling up on its own. It's as if it has built a ladder for Ronan to advance.
If you only upgrade yourself, you will hardly feel any significant increase in strength.
In this world, to fight against the ancient evil forces, one needs to form bonds with ghost stories and intervene in ghost story cases to continuously improve one's level.
First, you need to improve your strength by using ghost stories, and then actively get involved in ghost story cases to unlock skills and strengthen your ability to survive.
Without hesitation, Ronan leveled up twice. The first level required 500 merit points, the second 1000, and the third 2000. He currently only had 2238 merit points.

After confirming that his level had been increased, he stretched his limbs and found that the increase in strength was not particularly noticeable.
He then punched a dilapidated table in the store, which was already slated for replacement.
He noticed that some of the furniture in the store had marks on the edges, as if it had been bumped or damaged by players when they tucked their weapons into their waistbands.
Now that he has more money, Ronan naturally plans to replace everything with new ones.
With that punch, a chip was smashed into the tabletop, leaving a deep crater in the center.
Ronan stretched out his finger and probed it in; his entire finger could sink into the indentation.
He couldn't help but marvel at how his ordinary punch could have such power. Was this extraordinary power?
He secretly wondered what level his fellow travelers were at. In the early stages of exploration, they were probably only around level 30 or 40 at most.
Ronan is only at level seven now, and he still has a long way to go, needing to steadily improve his strength.
However, he has additional attribute boosts, so theoretically he should be able to fight against those high-level peers.
Ronan was unsure whether his true fighting strength was sufficient to secure a victory.
Logically, the second game's design should not create a situation where players are completely unable to defeat the opponent.
Moreover, some characters are overpowered, and he doesn't know how strong Mayidori, the main DPS character, really is.
I only remember seeing Mayidoli being instantly outshone by Oonali at the Oonali Photo Studio last time.
This can be considered as benefiting from the game's combat system design.
Thinking of this, he looked outside and saw a light drizzle falling from the sky, only then realizing that today was a rainy day.
From the other side of the kitchen, the sound of chopping vegetables could be heard continuously.
Ronan mustered his courage and pushed open the kitchen door, where he saw the table inside filled with all sorts of dishes.
The various dishes prepared by the Four Beauties and Eight Warriors almost filled the entire kitchen.
Oona was still tirelessly busy cooking.
Originally an avatar, Oonali also appeared after Latilia left, working alongside the original. The two figures each had their own duties: one focused on preparing the dishes, while the other was responsible for stir-frying and cooking.
Such efficiency would even make capitalists sigh and say that they are working too hard.
Upon noticing Ronan's arrival, O'Neill seemed to find salvation. She immediately put down her cleaver and, with a somewhat weary expression, said, "Mr. Ronan, how is my cooking?"
She then presented the prepared dishes of the Four Beauties and Eight Warriors to Ronan.
Ronan had previously taught her how to make tomato, chili, and egg noodles. After several hours of study and practice, O'Neill made noodles that tasted almost exactly like the original. Customers couldn't tell the difference at all, and her culinary skills were now on par with Ronan's.
Latilia's cooking skills were a level below theirs.
Ronan was surprised that O'Neill had mastered the dish so quickly. He picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth. The taste was rich, tender and sweet.
The taste is exactly the same as Ronan's own. Is this the talent and strength of a five-star character?
After receiving Ronan's approval and praise, Onali's eyes lit up with anticipation. She raised her little head and asked, "Mr. Ronan, what are our plans for tonight?"
"Should we deal with the ghost stories first, or investigate my father's grave?"
