While Luya was still thinking about how to proceed with his electronics factory business plan, the other diners who had eaten the [Krabby Burger] began to glow just like Xingqiu earlier—their bodies radiating golden light. Their physical conditions improved dramatically.
Among them, the most noticeable change came from a forty-something merchant; barely 1.4 meters tall, balding, and kappa-like in appearance. He suddenly grew hair! Even his height had increased by ten centimeters!
He cheered wildly around the table:
"Ahhhh!! My hair! I've got hair again!!! I finally... have hair! When I get taller, I'll be handsome too... uwahhh...!"
Not only that—the merchant looked full of vigor again. Though in his forties, he now appeared like a young man in his twenties. Everyone nearby was stunned.
"What the?!"
"Isn't that Master An..."
"Master An actually grew hair?!"
"That [Krabby Burger] is insane!!!"
"It can cure baldness… and make you taller?!"
"Amazing!!"
"Though Master An is rich, his short stature and baldness have always been his greatest troubles."
"I heard it's a childhood condition. His father spent billions of Mora seeking treatment… but nothing worked!"
"Even Doctor Baizhu couldn't help him. And now… one [Krabby Burger] fixed everything!"
"He's taller now, and his hair's back! Maybe if he keeps eating them, he'll even overcome infertility!"
"At this rate, Master An might soon become Grandmaster An! Hahaha!"
...
Listening to the chatter, Luya quickly understood what had happened. The [Krabby Burger] had directly cured one of Liyue Harbor's wealthy merchants of his greatest problem. And in Liyue Harbor, those of Master An's status all moved in elite circles; most of them had frail bodies despite their wealth. Money was never an issue when it came to health.
Luya thought to himself: At this rate, wouldn't he be stealing business from Bubu Pharmacy? After all, the [Krabby Burger]'s effect was far too miraculous… it literally made a 1.4-meter man into 1.5! And cured baldness!
Still, that was good news. With Master An as living proof, his restaurant's reputation was guaranteed.
...
Having nothing urgent to do next, Luya simply wandered around his shop.
By afternoon, Yun Jin arrived with the members of the Yun-Han Opera Troupe.
"Shopkeeper, we meet again~"
Yun Jin was already in full stage makeup, her face exquisitely beautiful. The crimson tint around her eyes made her even more striking, causing nearby customers' hearts to skip a beat.
Luya was delighted to see her. Now, the opera business in his establishment could officially begin.
Yesterday, he had only set up the stage… but overnight, he had installed a [Voice-to-Projection Machine]. He had also used over 500 square meters beneath the stage to construct the audience seating area, complete with elegant decorations.
The entire theater was finely furnished, with excellent ventilation—even with a full house, it would never feel stuffy or uncomfortable.
Luya led Yun Jin to the newly built theater. The moment she saw it, her eyes widened in astonishment. She could barely form her words.
"Incredible... To have completed all this... in just one night?!"
Yesterday, this area had been an empty lot… and now it was a fully constructed, ornate theater, perfectly arranged and illuminated. The lights on the stage shone brilliantly.
Yun Jin's beautiful eyes filled with admiration for Luya. Seeing the soft affection in her gaze, Luya thought Yun Jin looked even more breathtaking than in the game. With Yun Jin performing freely to bring in business, his joy grew even stronger.
He smiled and said:
"Miss Yun Jin, the stage has a new device installed. It's called the [Voice-to-Projection Machine]. I've given you access rights—so now, your lyrics can appear as projected images!"
Yun Jin was stunned.
"This... This is incredible!"
From her observations at Luya's shop yesterday, and her study of the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime, as well as seeing people duel with Duel Disks on the streets of Liyue Harbor, Yun Jin already had a good understanding of holographic projection technology.
So when Luya told her that her singing could now manifest as visual projections, she was speechless. It was too wonderful to believe! Her smile grew even brighter.
At that moment, Yun Jin felt that one of her long-held dreams might truly come to life… and her admiration for Luya deepened all the more.
