Inside, there was only a small, bright red fruit.
"It's this one." Xin glanced at it and praised, "Teuchi, your luck is really good. This is a Vermillion Elixir Fruit. It tastes average, but after eating it, it can slightly increase your strength."
It came from a certain fantasy world.
It could probably increase the strength in both arms by about ten pounds, which wasn't low.
"Increase strength?" Sasuke suddenly spoke. "Aren't these Mystery Box from the gourmet series?"
Although Sasuke spoke little, he had been listening attentively.
From Xin's and Tsunade's words, it could be inferred.
That these Mystery Box.
Had many different series.
The kind Teuchi bought now was from the gourmet series, which was why various ingredients and secret ingredient recipes appeared.
"A chef can't be without strength. For example, kneading dough requires enough strength to mix it," Xin explained, turning to look at Sasuke.
Sasuke, although he tried his best to hide it.
His gaze had already betrayed him.
He... was tempted.
There are many kinds of charm in Mystery Box, but the most core one is actually only one—the desire to possess.
Strength, waifus, items...
The more you want to possess something, the easier it is to become addicted.
And Sasuke's inner desire might even surpass Tsunade's. After all, one is a mature adult, and the other is a child who has gone astray.
Therefore.
Xin was very much looking forward to how much profit Sasuke could bring him.
Even setting aside the future, just looking at the present.
As the only remaining heir of the Uchiha clan, he must have quite a bit of assets, right?
"Mr. Xin!" Teuchi's voice suddenly rang out. He was slightly out of breath and handed over another stack of money, his tone firm, "I want to buy another set!"
After putting away those precious ingredients, Teuchi still had an indescribable feeling.
There must be even rarer ingredients in those Mystery Box.
I really want to see them.
And that recipe, what are the remaining parts?
"Thank you for your patronage." Xin smiled as he took the money, and then another set of Mystery Box appeared.
He wasn't at all surprised by Teuchi's decision.
After all, he's a chef who truly loves ramen (￣y▽￣)~*.
By this time, the sky had completely darkened.
In this era with not much nightlife, the crowd on the streets gradually thinned out.
But inside the small Ichiraku Ramen shop, a lively atmosphere filled the air.
