Chapter 184: Chapter 182: Smashing the Store and Getting Free Food? What's This Strategy! [2nd Update]_1
Translator: 549690339
For some reason, Tang San had the feeling that if Ye Feng suggested changing to another restaurant, the two girls, the gossipy man, and the two normal guys would leave without hesitation.
Being part of the education committee is so hard these days.
"Let's just eat here."
Ye Feng really couldn't figure out why Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling had become so enthusiastic.
All he did was help them find a decent soul beast and then assist them in torturing it until it offered itself up as a sacrifice!
It didn't seem like he had done them a huge favor.
Girls these days are really too strange!
"Pfft~"
Instructor Zhi Lin finally managed to sit down peacefully.
Shi Mo's other foot also stepped into the restaurant.
Osslor went in as well.
Looking at the innocent eyes of Instructor Zhi Lin, they knew that this outing had been entirely controlled by Ye Feng, which was too much to handle.
"Young Master Ye! You're here! What would you like to eat? Everything in our shop is free!!"
The moment Ye Feng stepped through the door, he saw the shopkeeper rush over to greet him.
With a very excited demeanor.
"All free??"
"Instructor, how come you know this shopkeeper??"
"Yes, Instructor Ye, the shopkeeper seems to be very grateful to you! Did you perhaps save his life?"
Hearing this, everyone from Tian Dou Royal Academy was astonished.
What's with this situation?
In a place with no cities around where everything is expensive, to offer everything for free was somewhat unbelievable!!
Of course, as unbelievable as it was, Dugu Yan, Yufeng, and the others did not hold back.
They ordered one of every dish on the menu that looked tasty.
"I didn't save anyone."
Ye Feng shrugged and said.
"Then why is the shopkeeper so nice to you, not only coming out to greet you personally but also offering all the food and drinks for free?"
It was basically a casual moment before the dishes were served.
At this point, everyone turned to ask.
They all seemed very interested.
Including Zhi Lin.
Actually, despite being an education committee member,
He was a bit of a mischievous lad at heart.
Not one to gossip but loves to hear gossip.
"Maybe because I once smashed his shop to pieces?"
Ye Feng spread his hands.
"What???"
A sea of question marks appeared over everyone's heads.
They had thought of a thousand possible answers, but this was the only one that hadn't crossed their minds.
Because you smashed someone's shop to pieces, the shopkeeper wants to treat you to a meal?
And for free?
What kind of logic is that?
"Hiss—Instructor, so this is the shop of your nemesis? What if the owner poisons the food?"
Yufeng exclaimed upon hearing this.
"Here, dear customers, this is fine wine from our shop, aged for decades!"
At that moment, the shopkeeper personally brought out the wine.
"This, this wine isn't poisoned, is it?"
Yufeng asked.
"What are you talking about, sir? Young Master Ye is my benefactor, even if I were the most ungrateful person in the world, I wouldn't poison the drink of my benefactor!"
The shopkeeper said in response, then proceeded to place the fine wine on the table.
"Benefactor? Wasn't it about smashing the place? How did it turn into being a benefactor?"
Everyone was even more confused.
"It's precisely because Young Master Ye smashed my shop that I had the chance to renovate it anew~"
Speaking of this event, the shopkeeper was beaming with joy.
The compensation had already been deposited into his account.
That wave didn't end up costing him; he even earned more than double.
So, compared to those things, what's a meal now!!
He could even give away a share of the shop if the other party wanted it!
"So that's how it is."
Because it did take quite a while for the food to arrive.
Therefore, Ye Feng explained the situation to them.
Finally, they understood.
Meanwhile, at another restaurant in the town, an old man with green hair stepped out.
His clothes shone with a green light.
Good tea, good wine, and deadly poison!
This was none other than Dugu Bo.
"Since you've all returned, I should also head back."
Dugu Bo looked at the inn where Ye Feng and the others were staying and murmured to himself.
Originally, he wanted to see what kind of Soul Ring Dugu Yan had gotten, but thinking of the Tian Dou Royal Academy's Commission for Education being there, he lost interest in approaching.
After all, he'd had some conflicts with them last time.
He decided to head back first.
Speaking of which, Old Flayer had reserved some fine Immortal Grass Elixirs for him.
He said they could help him reach Level 92.
He was just worried that during this period, Old Chrysanthemum might go back on his word.
In this world, advancing oneself is still the most important; he planned to break through to Level 92 within this year.
That was Dugu Bo's plan.
Just like that, he disappeared into the small town.
Given his speed, it would take him, at most, only a few hours to return.
Firstly, he'd visit Qingfeng Tower in Tiandou City to see if Zhu Zhuqing had managed all the affairs. If she had, he would go to the medicinal garden and enter secluded cultivation in the evening!
Elsewhere, Sunset Forest, Dugu Bo's Medicinal Garden.
After several days of feasting on Immortal Grass Elixirs, the garden was now in a mess.
The once lush Immortal Grass Elixirs near the Icefire Polarized Eyes were now as bald as One-Punch Man's head.
The reason was simple: the two Ten Thousand Year Immortal Grasses were not enough.
Since the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Spring Eye could help him absorb quickly, he took the opportunity to devour a large amount of Immortal Grass Elixirs!
In just three days, Tang San had advanced from Level Forty-Two, after absorbing the Crypt Spider, to Level 48 now.
Ascending six levels at such a speed was truly rare!
Of course, Tang San knew the value of those two Ten Thousand Year Immortal Grasses!
They had assisted him in advancing at least five levels.
At this rate, he could even forgo leaving Sunset Forest and find his fifth soul ring before returning.
Initially, because of the System, Ye Feng's situation was essentially different from Tang San's.
His system was "leveling up now feels great, but later ends up in the crematorium."
Dugu Bo had consumed so many Immortal Grass Elixirs here but had advanced less than ten levels.
Mainly because the System calculated the advancement based on the Experience Points transmuted from the Immortal Grass Elixirs.
If it were Tang San, having taken the Immortal Grass Elixirs that Ye Feng had accumulated over years and in such quantities, it would likely result in an advancement of twenty to thirty levels.
This was no exaggeration.
After reaching Soul Emperor, Ye Feng now needed ten million Experience Points to advance a single level.
The thought made him feel stifled.
That's just absurd!!
Besides Tang San, who had the fastest advancement thanks to partaking in elixirs and the buff from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Spring, the other members of Shrek were doing well too.
Dai Mubai had advanced to Level 44—after all, he could only consume ordinary immortal grass compared to Tang San; reaching Level 44 was already impressive.
The Fatty reached Level 34, advancing four levels.
Ning Rongrong reached Level 33, advancing two levels.
Oscar reached Level 37, also advancing two levels.
Tai Long, Level 40, went up one level, and was now out searching for his soul ring.
As for the others, they all had progresses of one to two levels at least.
This wave of progress for Shrek could be said to be comprehensive; no wonder, as the medicinal garden had been completely grazed, like letting loose over a dozen cows.
The Vice Principal of Shrek, Grandmaster, decided to stay here, to advance as far as possible before leaving!
