Gourmet: Midnight Vending-Chapter 297 - 279: Transformation: Rainbow Ice Cream Truck, Part 2
"My dad drove a Mercedes today. It’s so comfortable to ride in. Who wants to team up with me?"
"Everyone should team up with me. My dad is driving an Audi today!"
In no time, the elementary students wearing [Leader] shirts in the team started to noisily recruit team members.
Wu Jun had been spending liberally with his friends, and as soon as he spoke, a group of classmates gathered around him, all expressing their desire to ride in Father Wu Jun’s big Land Rover.
Li Jingyi stood next to Jiang Wenqing and whispered, "Jiang Wenqing, what car is your dad driving over today?"
Jiang Wenqing closed his book, "My family only has a small car, and my dad’s been busy with work and couldn’t come. An uncle is accompanying me instead."
"Oh." Li Jingyi was about to suggest teaming up when a gruff voice cut in.
"Li Jingyi, join my group. My dad has Chocobar on the car."
Jiang Wenqing glanced at Wu Jun, just smiled, and didn’t say anything.
He had a maturity beyond his years.
Around ten years old, it’s an age of vanity and competitiveness; even what cartoons were watched last night or what mobile games were played can become topics for comparison.
"I... I’ll wait a bit longer and see. My mom hasn’t come yet, and I’ll listen to her." Li Jingyi said.
Wu Jun snorted twice, "Besides, my dad said yesterday he’s going to make barbecue for us today. Whoever joins my group can have grilled skewers for lunch."
If having ice cream on the car only makes classmates envious, then having grilled skewers for lunch is something that strikes directly at the soul of elementary students!
Once Wu Jun said that, a bunch of classmates immediately surrounded him again.
Wu Jun enjoyed this feeling very much. He looked arrogantly at Jiang Wenqing, as if to say, see, how awesome I am!
At this moment, the screeching sound of brakes was heard. Wu Jun turned his head and, with a look of joy, pointed to a large black car that had stopped by the roadside, "My dad is here!"
At the same time, the car door opened, and a chubby middle-aged man in a black short-sleeve shirt came out, holding a small black leather bag, "Junza, Junza, what’s going on, are we ready to go?"
The classmates immediately flocked behind Wu Jun and ran to the Land Rover, looking as if they couldn’t wait to get on board.
Jiang Wenqing continued to look down at his storybook.
He was really sensible, but even so, as one luxury car after another, a mix of large and small vehicles, pulled over by the roadside, many classmates had already chosen their leaders based on factors like "whose vehicle is the most comfortable."
And he, there was always a space around him.
"Jiang Wenqing, my mom is here! I’ll go check who my mom wants to team up with, see you later!"
Even Li Jingyi ran off to the roadside. Jiang Wenqing saw a woman in a yellow dress draped with a blue vest get off a bike and take Li Jingyi’s hand.
Even though he understood, a trace of bitterness still rose in Jiang Wenqing’s heart.
He also went to the side of the road, waiting for Uncle Chen Mo to arrive, hoping that some students might choose him as their team leader.
Time ticked by, minute by minute.
Some parents naturally formed groups because they were familiar with each other. Others, under the strong wishes of their children, started choosing, resulting in some parents’ cars being surrounded by crowds.
Most of the parents who were team leaders already had their group members.
Except... Jiang Wenqing had no classmates by his side, and as the agreed-upon time of ten o’clock approached, Jiang Wenqing couldn’t help but feel a bit anxious.
"I should have known better than to join this summer camp, sigh!"
He stood on the side of the road feeling today was truly embarrassing.
...
Chen Mo had added new kitchenware to the dining car: an oven.
This thing hadn’t been bought before mainly due to considering whether tasks could be completed to get it for free, but now it simply couldn’t be helped.
"Man, shopping at the supermarket takes up so much time, I’m going to be late."
Chen Mo drove the dining car to a sparsely populated street, directly set the navigation to Experimental Primary School, and activated the local traversal feature.
As long as it didn’t get discovered, the dining car would traverse a section of the road, allowing it to reach school at the fastest speed possible.
At the same time.
"Oh right, I should use my trial card as well, use it!"
Today it’s broad daylight, for at least six hours I won’t be sleeping, so using the trial card is just right, and from now on there’s two hours of transformation each day.
[Trial card used successfully!]
[Your RV section has been upgraded to a brand-new vehicle series!]
Chen Mo parked by the side, curiously jumped out of the cab, and when his gaze fell on the dining car, he felt a bit of a headache.
"This... why is it so gaudy? Don’t you think it’s too flamboyant? Can’t it change to a more imposing color?"
At some point, the RV section had quietly turned into a rainbow color. Its structure was basically the same as the Level 3 Dining Car, and the back dining car remained the original one.
On the side, new words appeared.
[Chen Mo’s Rainbow Ice Cream Truck]
Further back.
[Chen Mo’s Mobile Dining Car]
Very cartoonish, but quite flamboyant, Chen Mo awkwardly scratched the back of his head, unsure if driving this thing would get him teased by the elementary students.
"No matter, let’s just head to the school first."
Once in the car, Chen Mo continued driving while exploring the new functions.
[Rainbow Ice Cream Truck: To compensate for the shortfall of certain dishes your dining car can’t make, the RV will gradually acquire various transformation functions through tasks. The ice cream truck can make any flavor, texture, and style of ice cream you can imagine.]
[Usage Time: 6 hours (formal functionality is 2 hours). Refreshes at midnight every day.]
"Damn, if it’s like that, then this function is quite fun!"
Chen Mo had thought about it before; although the dining car was equipped with complete kitchenware, there were indeed some things it couldn’t make.
Ice cream is one of them, but Chen Mo isn’t a big fan anyway.
There are also baked goods; if they had to be made in the dining car, space and kitchenware are limited, and it would be nowhere to be stored. If it can transform into a bakery in the future, it would be much more convenient.
And many other types of food.
"Looks like there are a lot of things I don’t know in the system and need to explore slowly..."
Chen Mo continued driving toward Experimental Primary School.
I must say, although this car looks very flashy, the turn-in rate is exceptionally high.
Near the traffic lights approaching Experimental Primary School, someone even came up wanting to buy ice cream, to which Chen Mo sternly refused, telling them, "Do I look like someone setting up a stall to sell ice cream?"
The car made a turn.
Chen Mo squinted his eyes, only to see crowds of people outside the gate of Experimental Primary School gathering next to various colored vehicles. Parents clustered together chatting, kids chased around, and shared snacks.
"Hey, isn’t that Xiao Jiao!"
Chen Mo immediately spotted Jiang Wenqing since others were in groups, whereas he was standing alone by the roadside, holding a book.
At the school gate.
Li Jingyi, holding her mother’s hand, was chatting with Father Wu Jun.
"Jingyi’s Mother, just take our car. There is quite a bit of space, and it’s comfortable for the two to three-hour drive."
Wu Xiaofeng enthusiastically invited.
Originally, it was supposed to be Wu Jun’s Mother accompanying her son today, but thinking of the last time at the parent-teacher meeting when a young mom looked beautiful with fair skin, Wu Xiaofeng immediately canceled his activities and went to school.
After arriving, Wu Xiaofeng couldn’t help but feel that he made the right choice!
On the surface, it’s a summer camp for kids, but in reality, isn’t it also a showcase of parents’ strengths?
The students’ mothers were all dressed particularly eye-catching in long dresses, short skirts, even fishnet stockings. Any one of them looked better than the nagging head at home!
"I should participate in more of my son’s school activities in the future!" Wu Xiaofeng mused.
He was waiting for Jingyi’s Mother to respond, when a child suddenly screamed.
"Wow! So cool! The Rainbow Ice Cream Truck, Mom, Mom! I want a rainbow ice cream!"
"Oh my! Such a big ice cream truck? I’ve only seen it in movies, in fairy tales, and there’s actually such a big ice cream truck!"
"Look! The dining car, the one selling spicy noodles is here!"
"I want to eat starchy sausages! Five for two sticks of starchy sausage!"
Jiang Wenqing looked up following the sound of his classmates, and when that vehicle stopped firmly across the road, the classmates immediately swarmed over, dragging their parents, all wanting to buy something to eat.
And Jiang Wenqing, seeing the words on the side of the rainbow and yellow dining car, dug his toes into the ground.
"Uncle Xiao Chen... you..."
