Creating Demonic Cultivation Techniques against Non-human Races-Chapter 82: Canteen Observations, Envy and Jealousy, Grand Opening Special—Only 298
After a while, other new students also quickly got up and ran to the cafeteria.
However, when they arrived, they saw some new students with dark circles under their eyes had already arrived early and were eating heartily.
Without much thought, they hurried to line up to get food.
After being hungry almost all night, they could not stand it anymore.
As time passed, the cafeteria gradually became bustling with various noises and discussions filling every inch of space.
"Starving! Really starving! Didn’t expect everyone to be the same, so many people in the cafeteria."
"Hey! Look over there! Seems like no one is there! Let’s go over there!"
"Stop, stop, stop! That’s the paid ordering area which costs Merit Points, all made with Entering Grade Exotic Beast ingredients for medicinal meals."
"Huh? Medicinal meals? I used to eat them often at home! Since there’s no one over there, let’s go order. Just a few Merit Points, it’s not a big deal." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
"But I heard that within the academy, ordering one dish can cost at least hundreds of Merit Points, maybe even a thousand."
"What? Hundreds? Thousands? Are they robbing people?"
"..."
Hearing this number, a new student let out a howl that attracted everyone’s attention in the cafeteria.
Coincidentally, an older student also came over for breakfast at that moment, interjecting with a sarcastic tone.
"Rob? Robbing can’t make money as fast as selling medicinal meals! Paid ordering is like this, only suitable for the fateful (wealthy) ones, not welcoming the poor."
"Heard it’s all a creation by those Manufacturing Department folks."
Upon hearing this, the new students sat down silently, no longer talking about that.
Hundreds of Merit Points, by their standards now, is indeed a vast amount.
Can’t afford it, simply can’t afford it.
Even if a few could shell out these Merit Points due to family reasons, they wouldn’t choose to eat medicinal meals brainlessly.
Compared to spending on Elixir cultivation, spending on medicinal meals has really poor cost-effectiveness.
Afterward, the new students quickly switched topics.
One of them, brimming with curiosity, looked at a familiar face with dark circles across the table and directly asked the reason.
"Song Qi, what’s with those dark circles? Didn’t sleep well last night?"
At this, the new student’s face turned black instantly, complaining irritably.
"Don’t mention it, it’s all because of Lin Ping’an! You wouldn’t believe how awful he is, grilling meat in the middle of the night, the smell wafted everywhere."
"How could such a wretched existence exist in the world?"
"After the branch exam ends, during the villa arena challenge, I must give him a good beating."
The friend across nodded in agreement after hearing this.
"Indeed, he’s so wretched and anti-social, yet so arrogant. How did Lin Ping’an grow up to be this way, with absolutely no team spirit."
Ten minutes later.
A figure appeared at the cafeteria entrance, instantly drawing the attention of the majority.
As they ate, the new students pointed and whispered.
"Look, that’s the guy, that’s Lin Ping’an."
"Heard it? He’s the most independent and anti-social among the new students."
"All clean, thin and small, doesn’t look like a Martial Artist, unlike me, very robust."
"Heh... I suspect you’re making fun, but I have no proof."
"Humph! Why not grilling at the villa? Came here to eat instead!"
"Heard he’s even an eighteen-year-old First Grade Civilization Master, so impressive!"
"What’s so impressive, heard that the rubbish Creation Technique only constrains Qi Blood effective to Lower Third Grades, absolutely no increase to combat power. A real man should go head to head, what’s the point of being a Martial Artist cowardly?"
"..."
At the same time.
Lin Ping’an was already used to such gazes, and didn’t bother with the idle words, walking towards the paid ordering area to order food skillfully.
Although he harvested quite some ingredients yesterday, except for the First Grade Clear Wind Cloud Rabbit, the rest were too high in grade, impossible to cook with general methods.
That’s why he appeared here at the cafeteria, planning to dine here for several days.
In these days, Lin Ping’an plans to learn knowledge related to medicinal meals. As the saying goes, no skill is burdensome, idle anyway.
After all, it will be useful someday.
Moreover, it might even be helpful for future Creation Technique, he understands the principle of applying experience from one area to another.
"A bowl of Spirit Rice, Second Grade Steamed Steel Crab Claws, Second Grade Braised Barbarian Bear Paw, Second Grade Charcoal-grilled Arrowhead Bullfrogs."
In just a dozen seconds, he ordered the dishes, spending a total of 1000 Merit Points.
Perhaps because he was a regular customer, the original price was 1004 points, but the fraction was waived at checkout.
Shortly after.
Three giant platters were served, and instantly, the entire cafeteria was filled with an irresistible aroma.
In a flash, everyone was drawn by the scent, casting glances, and some even drooled.
"Oh my, this... this smells so amazing! Why is the medicinal meal aroma so rich?"
"Boo hoo... the food in my mouth doesn’t taste good anymore!"
"That’s not right! I’ve had medicinal meals, why does the academy’s differ so much from those outside?"
"Idiot! Didn’t you know those outside are all incomplete versions? How can they compare to the academy’s? It’s not even a comparison!"
"Heard it’s quite expensive, how can Lin Ping’an be so extravagant?"
"So luxurious, truly extravagant. Is it too late to befriend him now?"
"..."
Meanwhile, Lin Ping’an continued eating without changing his expression.
He truly wasn’t aiming to provoke anyone; it’s just he’s been like this for the past month, simply out of habit.
At the same time, a staff member smilingly approached the new students and loudly began promoting.
"Smell it? These medicinal meals are not only delicious but also great for your body, aiding cultivation, an unparalleled choice for daily meals."
"Just like that student’s Second Grade Braised Barbarian Bear Paw, sourced from the Earth Barbarian Bear Second Grade Exotic Beast, containing lots of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures as seasoning."
"Melts in your mouth, unforgettable aftertaste!"
"Eating them not only strengthens Qi Blood cultivation and accelerates Body Tempering and Bone Tempering but also soothes muscles and blood, beautifying and nourishing... numerous benefits indeed."
"All students, want to get a portion?"
After such a description, coupled with the enticing aroma, the new students’ minds wavered, yearning to taste them.
Not far away, the older students remained unmoved, eating and drinking as if they hadn’t heard.
A dozen seconds later, a new student hesitantly raised his hand, his voice tinged with a kind of subtle eagerness.
"Then... how much Merit Points is it?"
The staff’s smile grew wider on his face, casually opening his mouth.
"No need for 998, no need for 688, today on a grand opening discount, only 298 for the Second Grade Braised Barbarian Bear Paw to be served."
"Student, action is better than heart!"
However, hearing this, the new student instantly froze in place.
"298? So expensive?"
The other new students shared the same expression, stunned, dispelling any naive thoughts.
What medicinal meals?
They weren’t fit to eat it at all!
Seeing this scene, the staff’s smile gradually vanished, showing a look of contempt, with eyes revealing three parts mockery, three parts disdain, three parts scorn, and a share of looking down, vividly displayed like a pie chart so that all new students could see it.
In the next moment.
The same tone echoed throughout the cafeteria.
