In the end, Huang Lin didn't choose any particularly high-end restaurant.
Since it was evening, he found a well-known Jiangcheng street food stall.
The bustling and noisy street food stall late at night made Yue Ling, the visitor from another world, very curious.
Su Yi and Huang Lin were already used to it.
Having not seen each other for a while, Huang Lin gave him a bear hug as soon as they met.
After exchanging pleasantries, he noticed Yue Ling next to Su Yi, and looked at Su Yi in surprise:
"This is?"
"Your godmother." Su Yi skillfully put his arm around Yue Ling's shoulder.
Anyway, she didn't care about this kind of thing, and she really needed an identity in this world.
In modern society, "people" refers not only to human beings, but also to nodes in a complex social system of relationships.
As an elf, Yue Ling looked similar to humans, and after slightly using magic to hide her pointed ears, she looked no different from a normal person.
But after coming to Blue Star, she couldn't be considered a "person" in the true sense.
In addition to not having a formal identity, she also didn't have a normal person's social network in modern society.
She was a person who had never existed before.
If Su Yi wanted to get her a formal identity in the future, it definitely wouldn't work like this. First give her an identity, and then use this identity as the center to gradually expand her network of relationships, and it would be easy to do.
Of course, there are easier ways, such as him saving some dignitaries with the Water of Life in his hand, and with their connections, it would naturally not be difficult to get an identity for Yue Ling.
But this kind of operation has great drawbacks.
It is easy to arouse suspicion and cause unnecessary trouble.
After all, if people find someone to investigate, no one in the world except Su Yi knows this person, which is too strange.
And now she often goes out as Su Yi's girlfriend, and with her appearance that can leave a deep impression on anyone, over time, she can easily integrate into modern society, and it is difficult to find anything unusual without careful investigation.
After all, so many people have seen her, no one would believe you if you said she was an alien.
This is also one of the reasons why Su Yi always takes her out.
Of course, mainly as a pleasing bodyguard.
"Holy moly!" Huang Lin didn't care about Su Yi taking advantage, looked at Yue Ling a few times, and then looked at his good brother strangely:
"She doesn't look blind, how could she fall for you?"
"What are you talking about? I'm handsome and suave, it's too normal for her to fall for me, isn't it?"
The two exchanged a few barbs, and then went into the street food stall together.
Huang Lin also brought his girlfriend.
He knew exactly what kind of person his good brother was, a complete scumbag.
But he almost had the word 'scumbag' written on his face, and there were still women who fell for him, thinking that he was rich and fantasizing about marrying into a wealthy family to be a rich wife, who can you blame?
Su Yi hadn't met this one before, wasn't familiar with her at all, and didn't have any intention of getting to know her. They greeted each other and that was it.
After all, the next time they met, the person next to him might have changed again, so there was no need to get to know her.
But the girl who was brought along was shocked after seeing Yue Ling's heavenly beauty.
After sitting down, she cautiously asked Yue Ling what brand of cosmetics she usually used, how she maintained her skin, and why her skin was so good.
But Yue Ling couldn't understand a word, so naturally she couldn't respond.
Su Yi directly explained that she was deaf and mute and couldn't hear at all.
Intending to get rid of her.
But he still underestimated women's obsession with skincare and maintenance. Seeing that Yue Ling couldn't answer, she turned to ask Su Yi.
"She doesn't use any skin care products, nor does she use any cosmetics. As for maintenance, she doesn't maintain anything. She stays up all night playing games every night. She looks like this entirely because of talent."
One sentence stumped the other person.
This is like an ordinary person who studies desperately but can only barely pass asking a top student who gets full marks how they usually study, and the top student says that they usually just play games and sleep, it's pure talent, you can't learn it.
It's like Garen equipping a Last Whisper, silent and heartbreaking.
It directly made her not say a few words later.
...
The two were just having a meal like normal friends, so naturally they wouldn't talk too much about work. Basically, they just bragged and that was it.
Huang Lin was of course curious about Su Yi suddenly becoming rich recently.
But he didn't ask since Su Yi didn't say.
They were brothers, he believed that if Su Yi could tell him, he wouldn't hide it from him. If he couldn't tell him, asking would only make everyone awkward.
And many things are harmful to people if they are said out loud.
For example, the existence of the trading platform.
Su Yi didn't even plan to tell his parents, so naturally he wouldn't tell Huang Lin.
But when they were about to part after dinner, he asked Huang Lin a question:
"Your family is in the catering business, I want to ask you something."
"Suppose, suppose."
"There is such an ingredient that only needs simple processing. Steaming, boiling, grilling, and frying are all fine. Just add a little salt, and the taste is far better than those carefully cooked things. And this ingredient can also strengthen the body, beautify the skin, and even if you eat more, you can be immune to all diseases and has no side effects... It's not an advertisement, it really has effects, and it's very obvious."
"Can it sell well?"
"What, do you have an elixir?" Huang Lin rolled his eyes at him.
Su Yi ignored him and instead asked:
"Just tell me if this thing has commercial value."
"Of course it does, but only the merchants selling this ingredient can make money. We in the catering business not only can't make money, but if this thing isn't expensive, we might all lose our jobs. After all, you said it tastes good no matter how you cook it, so what's the use of chefs?" Huang Lin shrugged.
"What if this thing is only authorized to your family's restaurants?" Su Yi suddenly smiled.
"Then I'll make it the world's number one catering giant in minutes. Kentucky Fried Chicken and Pizza Hut will have to kneel down and call me daddy!" Huang Lin waved his hand boldly:
"After all, you call me godfather, and I can't treat you badly. When the time comes, our father and son will buy a yacht, not too expensive, a yacht of ten or twenty million dollars will be enough. And then hire three or five hundred young models, and play as extravagantly as possible! Daddy will buy two supercars at a time, two villas at a time, and take you flying."
"Remember what you said." Su Yi patted him on the shoulder, and then walked out of the street food stall to find a designated driver to drive back to the hotel.
Huang Lin was patted by him like this, and the drunkenness in his eyes faded a bit.
After being stunned for a moment, he quickly caught up with Su Yi and said:
"No, are you serious? Did you really get an elixir?"
"Hard to say." Su Yi shrugged:
"If there really is one, I definitely won't forget you."
