an Zhou felt like laughing, but he held himself back and promised.

He originally thought that Zhou Shijie was so heroic he cared little for even a late Ming Dynasty ancient text.
But now, it would seem like he still loved those ancient texts dearly.

But because of that realization, Yuan Zhou was even more touched.

After ending the call, Yuan Zhou left on a taxi.

Since he was lacking in time, the moment he got on the taxi, he shut his eyes and started questioning the system.

When the driver saw Yuan Zhou had his eyes shut silently, he remained silent and drove toward the destination.

This was how the taxi drivers of Chengdu would behave.
They were capable of both having a lively discussion with their customers and giving their customers a peaceful and smooth trip.

The moment Yuan Zhou shut his eyes, he asked inwardly, “System, I have something about cooking to ask you.”

The system displayed, “Say it.”

“Tsk, tsk.
Look at how cold you are,” Yuan Zhou berated.

The system displayed, “Please say it, host, little comrade.”

“Cough, cough.
I prefer it when you remain cold,” Yuan Zhou replied.
He had to resist from coughing out loud.

“System, do you have any information about Tri-Color Beans?” Yuan Zhou asked directly to prevent the system from saying something shocking again.

“The Tri-Color Beans is also known as Three Fragrance to the Ocean, a dish written in the ancient text of Song Zazu during the late Ming Dynasty,” Yuan Zhou added.

The system displayed, “Yes.”

“Excellent.
Can I have a look?” Yuan Zhou asked.

The system displayed, “No.”

“Why?” Yuan Zhou asked.

The system displayed, “This dish is considered as a lost dish.
It is not part of any rewards, thus, the information can’t be shared.”

“Heh, what’s the point of your existence, system?” Yuan Zhou replied.

The system displayed, “I am confident in your ability to independently restore this dish.”

“Weird system.
Fine, go back to your rest,” Yuan Zhou no longer felt like talking to the system, especially since the system was calling him little comrade.

“Since the system does not allow me to see the information there, I will have to reply on the ancient text.
But Chairman Zhou mentioned that only a short description was given.
If so, I will have very little point of reference,” Yuan Zhou analyzed.

“Sir, where can I watch magic shows?” Yuan Zhou suddenly opened his eyes and asked.

“Oh? You want to watch a magic show?” asked the driver who was stunned by the question.

“Yes.
Where can I watch one?” Yuan Zhou asked.

“I recall you can watch face-changing performance in Chengdu, but I don’t know about any magic shows,” said the driver as he shook his head.

“Face-changing?” Yuan Zhou mumbled.

“Yes, face-changing.
It was available in the teahouse at the Auspicious Alley the other day.
It’s a very interesting show,” lamented the driver in admiration.

“Is it still available?” Yuan Zhou asked.

“Definitely not now.
It will only start at seven in the evening.
But the performance there changes daily.
So you might get to watch a magic show after all,” said the driver.

“How long does a performance usually takes?” Yuan Zhou asked.

“About nine minutes,” replied the driver.

“Looks like I need to get a magician to ask about bean magic tricks,” Yuan Zhou contemplated.
He remembered watching some amazing bean magic tricks on the TV.

“We’re here, young man,” said the driver as he stopped the car.

“Thank you,” Yuan Zhou paid the fee.

“Young man, you look familiar,” said the driver while Yuan Zhou was paying.

“I resemble that handsome, smart, and fashionable celebrity chef, Yuan Zhou.
Am I right?” Yuan Zhou said unhurriedly.

“Yes, you do resemble him,” the driver nodded repeatedly.
Then, he added, “I don’t think he’s that handsome, and I don’t know if he’s smart, but I know he has a great background.
Even the number one person of Sichuan is a frequent customer of his.
How can that be if that Yuan Zhou is without a great background?”

Yuan Zhou asked instinctively, “Why do I not know about that?”

Number one person? What was going on?

“Of course you don’t know.
Let me tell you.” The taxi driver had a ‘let me educate you’ look on his face as he spoke, “Think about it.
Behind Taoxi Road is a commercial complex.
In that area, old buildings are being demolished for development purposes, but only Taoxi Road is untouched.
Will that be possible without a great background?”

Yuan Zhou gave it a thought and found that it was logical.
He could not counter that at all.

“Therefore, this is a world where one will not be able to survive without any connections,” concluded the driver who then proceeded to lament of how he was a person with talent yet lacked opportunity.

Eventually, when a horn sounded behind the taxi, the driver realized he was blocking the way.
After accepting the money, the driver said a bit more with a smile before leaving.
