400 – Heavenly Delicacies

Liu Feng and Qian Lei needed to invest more resources for increasing their soul power as soon as possible. Their soul power and Lan Xuanyu’s were still below average among the first yeats.

Qian Lei was the one who had chosen the restaurant tonight and they had found a relatively large restaurant on Gourmet Street. The signboard was already in sight.

“Heavenly Delicacies.” It was three-story high and from afar, there was already a strong fragrance drifting in the air.

This restaurant had a good location in the middle of Gourmet Street. They had passed by before but had never eaten here before because this restaurant only worked with rare ingredients, which were also ingredients that were beneficial for soul masters’ cultivation. They only served Soul Masters.

The price of such a restaurant was definitely not cheap. In the past, they didn’t dare to enter as they didn’t have that much money. But it was different now. In Shrek City, all of the expenses could be paid with emblems. The exchange rate was made public, just like in the auction house. They were currently rich people.

“Miss, give us a private room,” Qian Lei said to the lady as he walked in proudly.

The lady-in-charge saw his green uniform and smiled. “Alright, please wait a moment.”

Shrek Academy’s uniform was practically a universal pass here. With their uniforms, no one would look down on them because of their young age.

“Yes, a private room for the six of you. Please follow me.” She walked gracefully in front and led them to the second floor and entered a private room.

The interior of the private room wasn’t extravagant and grand; it was decorated with wood and the details were meticulously well thought out. It gave people a sense of comfort and elegance, calming the hearts of the young boys and girls.

There was a menu on the table, and Qian Lei couldn’t wait to flip through it. Upon seeing the menu, he couldn’t help but click his tongue. “So expensive! The signature dish is stewed dragon tendon, haha. Frenzie, it’s a stew of your tendon.”

Liu Feng said in annoyance, “It’s probably just stewing the tendon of an Earth Dragon anyway. You can summon one to sell.”

“How could I. My summoned creatures are my partners, how can I sell them for money?” Qian Lei said righteously.

Right at this moment, there were two light knocks on the door and a middle-aged man dressed in formal attire walked in.

His gaze landed on Lan Xuanyu and he revealed a look of surprise. “It’s really you. Are you here to celebrate?”

Lan Xuanyu’s team didn’t know this person at all, but after hearing his words, they understood that he must have watched their match today.

“Greetings, geniuses of Shrek Academy. I am Ke Hong, the person in charge of Heavenly Delicacies. I am very honored that you have chosen our place to celebrate. How about this, all of your expenses will be covered by us today. I will get a card for each of you later and you can get a 70% discount when you come over to eat.”

“Uncle, why are you so polite?” Qian Lei laughed.

Lan Xuanyu stood up and said, “Thank you, manager Ke, but I can’t accept a reward for nothing. There’s no need to cover the bill.”

Ke Hong chuckled. “It’s fine, it’s fine. You guys have brought honor to Shrek. Furthermore, you guys are only in your first year, yet you already have such strength. Your future prospects are boundless. You must give me a chance to befriend you guys! In the future, leave a photo to us. When you guys become famous in the world, I will be able to brag and it will be beneficial to our business.” He spoke honestly and did not hide his intention to befriend the six people.

In fact, when he heard that there were six people and the attendant said that they looked similar to the ones from the live broadcast today, he immediately realized that an opportunity was here.

The performance of the six little guys in front of him today was simply too shocking, especially Lan Xuanyu. He had killed four five-ring soul masters by himself. Although there must be some sort of coincidence or something special about it, it was still a miracle. At least, he had never seen such a situation before.

Hence, just as he said, there were too many opportunities for these young people to become famous in the future. They were almost bound to enter the Inner Court, especially Lan Xuanyu.

Among the Inner Court’s disciples of Shrek Academy, which one of them wasn’t an expert that could shake the Heavens with a stomp of their feet ?

If one of these six people could become a God rank expert in the future, that person would be a big shot that could influence the entire Federation.

Treating them to a meal was nothing. This was their first celebratory feast after becoming famous in a single battle, and its significance was extraordinary! Heavenly Delicacies was located in Shrek City, and naturally they were backed by someone. Hence, they understood the significance of these elites to Shrek Academy. Being on good terms was beneficial without any harm.

“Since manager Ke said so, boss, there’s no more need for us to be so polite.” Qian Lei winked at Lan Xuanyu.

Lan Xuanyu glanced at him and Qian Lei immediately turned to Ke Hong. “Manager Ke, can we eat to our heart’s content?”

Ke Hong laughed and said, “Of course, of course you can.”

Lan Xuanyu’s eyes lit up and he immediately understood what Qian Lei meant. He didn’t try to refuse anymore. “Thank you, manager Ke.”

“Calling me manager Ke is a bit too formal. Little geniuses, why don’t you call me Old Ke instead? Let’s exchange our contact numbers. In the future, if you have any activities, celebrations, or anything else you want to eat, let me know. I’ll arrange it for you,” Ke Hong said with a smile.

“It’s impolite to call you Old Ke, let us call you Uncle Ke,” Qian Lei said. “Uncle Ke, is your signature dish Dragon Tendon stewed with an Earth Dragon or a True Dragon?”

Ke Hong smiled. “They’re usually from Earth Dragons, of course. This dish is very particular. Different Earth Dragons have different values, and each has its own unique characteristics and different cooking methods. I dare say that in the entire Federation, there isn’t a single restaurant that can cook Earth Dragons better than us. As for True Dragons, there isn’t. They have long since gone extinct and there isn’t a single place to find them. Also, what kind of existence is a True Dragon? It’s an incomparably noble race. The so-called Earth Dragons actually have very impure bloodlines. To have a ten thousandth of True Dragon bloodlines is already considered very good among Earth Dragons. They can’t be compared. Earth Dragons can be considered wild beasts, and some of them aren’t even soul beasts. We have some special connections to get them.”

Dong Qianqiu frowned and said, “You guys kill Earth Dragons ? Hasn’t the Federation prohibited from hunting soul beasts?”

Ke Hong laughed. “How can we just kill them like that! Of course, there are rules. Everyone, don’t worry, all the ingredients we sell here are legal. We didn’t kill any Earth Dragons by ourselves to get the tendon. We bought it at a high price from a few soul beast planets. Soul beast planets aren’t completely peaceful, and there are some particularly ferocious individuals, so the experts in charge of order among the soul beasts will also kill. If the corpses of these killed soul beasts are valuable, they will be sold for resources.”

“Selling the corpses of their comrades?” Dong Qianqiu found it hard to accept.

Ke Hong said, “They can’t count as comrades. There are many types of soul beasts, and if they aren’t of the same race, then they can be considered as different species. The world of soul beasts is almost autonomous, and our federation only does trade with them and doesn’t interfere with internal affairs of a soul beast planet. So, if they are willing to sell it officially and we have a market, we will naturally buy it. But hunting soul beasts on a soul beast planet is absolutely prohibited.”

“Oh,” Dong Qianqiu replied, her mood not as good as before.

Lan Xuanyu looked at her and said, “Uncle Ke, please arrange some dishes for us then. We have a huge appetite after the battle. Excuse us for the trouble.”

“It’s alright, I understand. You guys sit down first, I’ll make the arrangements. I guarantee that you guys will be satisfied.”

After Ke Hong left, Qian Lei immediately beamed with joy and said, “Fatty Jin had started absorbing my life energy just after he woke up. This is great, at least he doesn’t have to suck my energy today. When we return, we’ll go to the Sea God Lake tomorrow to cultivate.”
