Demon hunter's Cooking Manual

Sitting at the dining table, Dou Bao smiled and said.

When someone becomes a disciple, they will pay subscription money.

With subscription money, the martial arts school can keep operating.

With subscription money, Dou Bao can buy more ingredients.

Moreover, she can always follow the master.

Dou Bao had such a simple and hopeful thought.

Jason was much more straightforward.

He looked at the quest in front of him [Main Quest: Gain 3000 (30) Prestige].

His prestige began changing from last night.

It was increasing bit by bit, +1+1.

By the end of the day, it had already reached 30.

According to Jason's estimate, it wouldn't be a problem to exceed one hundred in a few days as the event unfolds, and with the Martial Arts Street competition, the prestige would reach a new height again.

It's just—

"One city is too small."

"To complete the main quest, spreading fame to nearby cities is necessary."

"Even to an entire state."

Through chatting, Jason already knew that 'Mountain City' was just a small town under 'Bianzhou', not even a prefectural city, just a regular little town.

In other words, it was a small place.

Upon learning this news, Jason was happy.

Because he knew that if he could find some 'Secret Medicine' in a small place, the bigger locations would naturally offer more and better options.

However, that's a matter for later.

For now?

Jason's gaze turned toward the courtyard gate.

About three or four seconds later—

Bang, bang.

The gate of the martial arts school courtyard was knocked on.

"Master Mu? Is Master Mu here?"

"I and the gentleman have come to see you."

Jia Youcai's voice clearly reached the backyard, and Dou Bao got up to open the door.

Last night, the master took a big risk to help Jia Youcai, Li Deshang, naturally leaving a huge debt of gratitude, and it was time to repay a part of it.

Reciprocity, reciprocity.

Mutual exchanges are the true essence.

Frequent interactions are the best way to deepen friendship.

Dou Bao had seen similar scenes in town.

At this time, she was not unfamiliar at all.

Moreover, she didn't appear timid.

She opened the door boldly and stood in front of Jia Youcai, Li Deshang, and a group of servants carrying gifts.

Dou Bao's gaze swept over everyone, especially taking a look at the two large boxes carried by the servants, and immediately asked.

"What's the matter?"

A crisp voice, higher than usual.

Immediately, many eyes were drawn over.

In fact, when Jia Youcai and Li Deshang stepped onto this street, many eyes had already noticed them, but since they recognized Li Deshang's identity, no one dared to come over and inquire.

And now, with Dou Bao's voice, gazes were 'naturally' drawn over.

People are inherently followers.

When they noticed the gaze of those around them, their eyes followed suit.

Dou Bao was calm and composed.

Reputation!

The martial arts school needs reputation!

Is there anything better for boosting reputation than this moment?

"Sister Dou Bao, sorry to bother."

"It was indeed so busy during the day that we only got free at this time."

"This is my master."

Jia Youcai said with a smile.

"Miss Dou Bao, I've heard Jia Youcai say that you manage the martial arts school, and seeing today, you indeed prove women are not inferior to men."

Li Deshang said with a smile, completely showing a familiar and friendly demeanor.

"The gentleman praises too highly."

Dou Bao shook her head, stepped aside, and after welcoming everyone in, closed the martial arts school's gate again.

While closing the door, she gave a modest but respectful smile to the people who had been watching, then used a martial artist's salute, clasping her hands together, to apologize for disturbing the neighbors.

The people immediately nodded, clasped their hands in return.

After doing all this, Dou Bao slowly closed the door.

Li Deshang, Jia Youcai, along with a group of servants, stood there waiting.

"Please follow me."

Dou Bao turned and saluted, then led the way to the main hall.

Li Deshang couldn't help nodding silently.

If some of his previous words about Dou Bao were meant as compliments, the scene just now made him realize that his brother's maid was indeed remarkable, even some young ladies from merchant families in Zhoufu couldn't be as natural.

Not to mention people from small places.

Receiving guests, dealing with matters, and gaining fame were all handled perfectly.

'Where did Brother Mu find such a maid?'

Thinking this, Li Deshang had already walked into the main hall and immediately saw Jason standing there.

"Brother Mu!"

Li Deshang greeted with a smile, while signaling the servants to bring over the two large boxes.

Although he hadn't interacted much, Li Deshang understood the temperament of martial artists. Rather than being secretive and offending someone, it's better to be straightforward.

The two boxes were opened.

Inside the big box was a set of iron armor and a Horse-Cleaving Saber.

The iron armor and the Horse-Cleaving Saber looked familiar.

The iron armor was what Jason wore last night, and the Horse-Cleaving Saber was used by the flying thief.

"A treasure sword for a hero."

"This iron armor has been in my collection for a long time, always gathering dust as a hidden gem, until I met Brother Mu who was its true owner. Also, this Horse-Cleaving Saber, in the whole Mountain City, aside from Brother Mu, probably no one else can wield it."

Li Deshang said seriously.

Although his words carried flattery, it wasn't annoying.

Without a doubt, to become one of the administrators of 'Mountain City', Li Deshang had some basic qualities.

Then, as one of the main officials of 'Mountain City', he stepped aside to reveal the small box.

The small box was divided into two layers.

The upper layer was a row of ginseng.

The lower layer was neatly stacked, with rolls of silver coins wrapped in red silk.
