“What’s wrong with you? Why are you just standing there? Go tell the kitchen to cook!”
Seeing the waiter frozen in place and not acting, Ye Feng was immediately displeased.
“Ex… Explorer sir, do… do you really want to order this many dishes?”
The waiter shook his head, came back to his senses, and asked.
“Yes, of course!”
Ye Feng nodded. “Oh, right, pork ribs are 30 survival coins, Stir-fried Prairie Duel Beef is 50, two portions of snowflake chicken cutlets… these add up to 210 survival coins…”
As he spoke, Ye Feng handed over the survival coin from the system.
“Okay… okay, sir, please wait a moment!”
After glancing at the number on the survival coin, the waiter took it, quickly ran to the counter to settle the bill, and then returned the survival coin to Ye Feng.
Afterward, he jogged off to have the kitchen prepare the dishes!
“Who is that guy? Spending so many arcane yuan coins on food, is he crazy?”
“Where did this rich guy come from?!”
“Don’t know, seems like he’s from out of town!”
“With so many arcane yuan coins, how much hard currency could he buy outside? This guy just spent it all on food…”
“What prodigal son of some major power!”
……
There were quite a few people in the restaurant, most of whom only had one or two dishes in front of them. Upon seeing Ye Feng’s extravagant behavior, they immediately started discussing amongst themselves.
However, Ye Feng paid them no mind. He was looking at the menu with Xiao Xiao, pondering what to eat next.
After all, whether it was Ye Feng or Xiao Xiao, when it came to cooking, they could only say they made edible food, sometimes quite delicious, but never reaching the level of exquisite color, aroma, and taste.
As for this Ocean Paradise Hotel, it gave Ye Feng a feeling of returning to his past life…
“Ye Feng?”
Suddenly, a male voice that Ye Feng found somewhat familiar rang out.
“Hm? It’s you!”
Ye Feng turned his head and was immediately surprised.
Because the person who had arrived was none other than Jiang Si Shan, with whom he had significant interactions at Firefly Outpost and City of Despair.
“Ye Feng, is it really you?!”
Upon confirmation, Jiang Si Shan was equally surprised and quickly walked over to Ye Feng’s table and sat down.
“Yes, it’s been a while since we parted ways at the City of Despair~”
“Where’s Bing? Why isn’t she with you?!”
Seeing Jiang Si Shan, Ye Feng couldn’t help but think of Princess Bing, whose exquisite beauty lay beneath her flower mask.
“Uh… Bing has something… something to attend to in the City of Arcane… I’m here alone!”
After finishing, Jiang Si Shan changed the subject. “Ye Feng, Xiao Xiao, in this damned apocalypse, it’s rare for us to meet again.”
“Let me treat you to a meal. The food at Ocean Paradise is absolutely top-notch. Even before the Great Cataclysm, it was first-class!”
“But don’t you guys rip me off too much, all the dishes here need to be paid for with arcane yuan coins!~”
As he spoke, Jiang Si Shan pointed to the menu on the table.
Ye Feng didn’t speak, but slightly furrowed his brows. He noticed a flicker of worry, and anger, in Jiang Si Shan’s eyes when Bing was mentioned.
“Oh, no need, big brother has already ordered quite a few dishes~”
Xiao Xiao glanced at Ye Feng and replied.
“Ordered quite a few dishes?”
Under Jiang Si Shan’s surprised and astonished gaze, the waiter arrived with a serving cart.
“Sir, you’ve waited. Here is the Stir-fried Prairie Duel Beef, Snowflake Chicken Cutlet, and Seafood Noodle Paste.”
“The other dishes are freshly made and will take a little longer!”
The waiter placed the dishes on the table and said to Ye Feng.
“Oh, okay~!”
Ye Feng nodded, then handed the menu to Jiang Si Shan. “Order whatever you want, it’s on me!”
“This…”
Looking at the generous Ye Feng, Jiang Si Shan was taken aback and whispered, “Ye Feng, do you know these dishes need to be paid for with arcane yuan coins?”
“Don’t worry, I have enough money to pay for it!~”
Ye Feng replied while scooping some noodle paste from a large bowl into a small one.
“Then… then I’ll have a roasted chicken leg!”
With the waiter nearby, Jiang Si Shan couldn’t refuse Ye Feng’s offer, so he nodded.
“Hey, these are only enough for Xiao Xiao and me. Will one chicken leg be enough for you?”
Ye Feng looked at the waiter. “Give him a portion of egg fried rice, a bowl of prairie duel beef soup, and another portion of snowflake chicken cutlet~”
“Oh, and change the chicken legs to 3~”
Ye Feng remembered that Jiang Si Shan was very fond of chicken legs. As he spoke, he handed over the survival coin in his hand.
The waiter took note and quickly went to the counter to settle the bill.
“Ye… Ye Feng, we haven’t seen each other for days, and you’ve become so rich?! Spending so many arcane yuan coins on food?!”
After the waiter left, Jiang Si Shan asked Ye Feng with a look of surprise.
“Mm… you could say that~”
Ye Feng replied while taking a large bite of a snowflake chicken cutlet.
“By the way, why are you here?”
Ye Feng scooped another spoonful of noodle paste for Xiao Xiao and asked.
“This… it’s because of Mei You and Bi Mao!”
Glancing around, Jiang Si Shan lowered his voice and said to Ye Feng.
“Mei You and Bi Mao? They are those two from the City of Despair… they seem to be traitors from your City of Arcane!”
After a moment of thought, Ye Feng recalled.
“Yes!”
Jiang Si Shan nodded. “After Bing and I returned to the City of Arcane, we immediately started investigating. Then I discovered that the attack Bing encountered in the City of Despair last time was not simple.”
“Mei You and Bi Mao were just pawns. Behind Bing’s attack were many forces, many people, not just from the outside, but also from within our own City of Arcane…”
“All the investigative clues we had in the City of Arcane were cut off… only Mei You and Bi Mao from the City of Despair remained…”
“So, when I learned they might be at Ocean Paradise, I rushed over!”
Jiang Si Shan quickly explained to Ye Feng.
“I see!~”
Ye Feng frowned slightly. “Bing didn’t come, did she encounter some trouble?”
Previously, Ye Feng had sent a message to her using the modified survival coin, which was square in the middle and had a screen-like appearance, gifted to him by Bing, but he had not received a reply.
This time, Jiang Si Shan did not answer immediately. After a moment of silence, he nodded. “Indeed!”
“However, Ye Feng, I cannot tell you what exactly happened~!”
“If Bing were here, she would definitely support me. I’m telling you this will only drag you into immense danger…”
He paused, then said to Ye Feng with great seriousness.
“This… okay!”
Ye Feng felt a bit uncomfortable in his heart but didn’t force the issue.
Before long, the remaining dishes for Ye Feng and those ordered by Jiang Si Shan were served together.
After the initial politeness, Jiang Si Shan also began to eat heartily, just like Ye Feng.
After the meal, Ye Feng and Jiang Si Shan chatted leisurely.
“Speaking of which, Ye Feng, why have you suddenly become so rich~!”
“Hundreds of arcane yuan coins were spent in the blink of an eye on just one meal… it’s like squandering money!”
Jiang Si Shan asked while leisurely sipping a glass of fruit juice that Ye Feng had ordered.
“Secret!”
Ye Feng replied lazily, also drinking a glass of fruit juice.
“This guy… could it be that he’s squandered all the arcane yuan coins Bing gave him for communication?”
Seeing this, Jiang Si Shan’s lips twitched, and he couldn’t help but mutter to himself.
Although he thought this, Jiang Si Shan didn’t say anything. After all, since Bing had given the arcane yuan coins to Ye Feng, how Ye Feng spent them was Ye Feng’s freedom!
“By the way, Xiao Shan, do you know anything about this Ocean Paradise?”
At this moment, Ye Feng spoke again.
