Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 315 The First Person to Order Takeout
Moreover, the Power of the Saint that she provided only had defensive functions.
The same went for the Power of the Saint that Heaven granted to Xuan Feng, it could only stimulate the refinement of Vital Blood and was harmless to the Three Realms.
And now, she was just using it to pay the bill; that shouldn’t be a problem.
"Your Majesty, how does it work?" Xuan Feng leaned in curiously and asked, "Your Majesty, is your method of payment expensive?"
"Not expensive, quite cheap," Nuwa shook her head lightly without elaborating.
"Then what is it?" Xuan Feng couldn’t help but ask another question.
Your Majesty said it was very cheap, so even if it’s expensive, it can’t be too much!
Xuan Feng thought to herself.
"Just the Power of the Saint," Nuwa said calmly, as if she was talking about something insignificant.
What, what?!
Xuan Feng was stunned, almost thinking she had heard wrong. Was the Majesty’s payment method the Power of the Saint?
That’s called being very cheap? Surely she must be joking, right?
A single thread of the Power of the Saint that Her Majesty casually infused into her could produce more than ten drops of phoenix Vital Blood!
Alas!
Xuan Feng sighed and felt like crying but had no tears to shed, she could only say that it’s good to be powerful and capricious!
Nuwa swiped across the Image Retaining Stone and finally chose beef noodles.
For some reason, she felt like having some staple food today, and those chunks of beef in the image seemed as good as any ordinary dish, greatly whetting her appetite.
Focusing her Mind and Spirit, Nuwa did as Xuan Feng described, transferring the Power of the Saint to the crystal slab at the bottom.
One thread, two threads, three threads...
Nuwa released a series of seven threads of the Power of the Saint.
Then, turning towards the Sound Transmission Stone, Nuwa attached her Mana to it and pursed her lips, but did not immediately speak out.
For some reason, facing this Shopkeeper Chen whom she had never met actually made her, a Saint, feel somewhat restrained.
After pondering for a moment, Nuwa finally said softly, "Shopkeeper Chen... please bring a bowl of beef noodles, five jars of Peach Blossom Brew, a cup of Flat Peach Juice, and freshly squeezed Flat Peach Juice. The money has already... been paid."
Having said this, Nuwa unconsciously let out a sigh of relief.
She turned her head to look at Xuan Feng who was still questioning life: "Is that all it takes?"
Startled back to reality by Nuwa’s words, Xuan Feng nodded and replied, "Yes, that’s it, Shopkeeper Chen said so."
After placing the order, all that was left to do was to wait for the delivery.
[Ding! Nuwa has paid with seven threads of the Power of the Saint, would you like to convert it to the corresponding Merit Points?] The system notification suddenly rang in Chen Nuo’s mind.
His body shook, Chen Nuo arched an eyebrow, surprised that Nuwa’s method of payment was actually this!
This thing isn’t much use to him anyway!
Moreover, at Chaos Residence, he was already invincible, having no need for such a thing.
But, it’s always better to have it than not, right?
He wondered, how much Merit Points could this Power of the Saint be exchanged for?
With that thought in mind, Chen Nuo experimented and exchanged one thread of the Power of the Saint for Merit Points.
Swish!
The Incense Value on the system panel suddenly shot up by a great amount.
Holy moly!
Chen Nuo was taken aback by the amount. So much!
It was almost on par with a Magical Treasure of a Golden Immortal’s level, but then Chen Nuo had a second thought and felt something was off.
If we’re talking about potency, having the Power of the Saint should be far superior to any mere Golden Immortal level Magical Treasure, right?
Logically speaking, the Merit Points obtained from exchanging the Power of the Saint should far exceed that.
How could it be like now? It was even less than expected.
"Shopkeeper, is something the matter?" Seeing Chen Nuo staying silent, both the Great Roc and the Roc Demon King were a little worried.
Chen Nuo shook his head lightly: "Nothing."
Regarding this, in that instant, he had a new hypothesis.
Many magical treasures are naturally formed and even those crafted by Acquired methods consume a great deal of effort and vital blood.
By comparison, the Power of the Saint is just the saint’s strength, available in any amount one desires.
Therefore, even if their might is far greater, the Merit Points they can be exchanged for aren’t as high.
Chen Nuo nodded, "Yeah, that must be it."
A bit of a loss there, best not to continue exchanging them, he thought.
Chen Nuo mulled over this in his mind.
This Power of the Saint could be put to use in other matters.
Gathering his Mind and Spirit, Chen Nuo looked at the rather spacious hall and said, "This means we’ve got work to do now."
No sooner had Chen Nuo finished speaking than a soft and beautiful voice ensued.
The sound emanated from an ordering machine on the counter.
This ordering machine had a sleeker design, with a blue casing on the back.
It was custom designed by Chen Nuo from the system, and the Sound Transmission Stone on it was the primary stone for all the other ordering machines’ Sound Transmission Stones.
All the sounds from the ordering machines would be conveyed here, and the mother Sound Transmission Stone could even distinguish and individually channel the voices from each daughter stone.
This was precisely the voice of Nuwa placing an order.
Upon hearing it, Chen Nuo nodded in appreciation, thinking admiringly.
So this is what Nuwa’s voice sounds like? Quite pleasant. But I wonder what she looks like, Chen Nuo thought to himself.
"Shopkeeper, who is that person?" the Roc Demon King’s eyes lit up as he hastily asked.
Finally, someone had started ordering—it really was time to get to work!
"The one who came at the beginning, didn’t I tell you? At the Nuwa Palace," Chen Nuo casually replied, standing up from the front of the counter and getting ready to head to the kitchen to start cooking.
He had sent Gold Star Taibai and Fairy Baihua back, and he reckoned their orders would be coming through before long.
"That’s not right, though. That voice doesn’t sound the same!" Gold Wing Great Roc frowned and retorted.
The voice of the one who came first was lively, but this one, while also pleasant, was completely different in style.
And just by listening to this voice, he felt a strange urge to prostrate in worship.
Chen Nuo rolled his eyes and said somewhat exasperatedly, "Who told you it was the one from before?"
"She’s a proxy; the real lady is the goddess. Use your brain a little."
Goddess? Nuwa Palace?
Gold Wing Great Roc and the Roc Demon King thought simultaneously in their minds, and then, their pupils shrunk, shivering.
Nuwa... Saint Nuwa!!
"Shopkeeper, does this mean a saint is also patronizing Chaos Residence?" Gold Wing Great Roc shrunk his neck, probing.
That’s just too awesome!
Having learned from previous experience, the Roc Demon King quickly regained his composure.
Seeing Gold Wing Great Roc’s question, a hint of disdain appeared on his face.
"Look at the state of you, getting scared over a single saint. Is this really such a surprise?"
"Chaos Residence has entertained more than just one saint; even Saint Tongtian appeared before!"
The Roc Demon King stood with hands behind his back, giving a look of disappointment.
"At Chaos Residence, what isn’t possible? Just a moment ago, there was someone buying on behalf of the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother. So you should learn to keep your cool!"
"Be like the Shopkeeper!"
Gold Wing Great Roc’s mouth twitched, and although he was quite shocked that Saint Tongtian had visited, poking fun at the Roc Demon King was still more important, sparing no mercy in his reply, "Seems like... just now, you didn’t handle it any better."
"You have some nerve to talk about me."
Watching the two bickering, Chen Nuo had a full head of black lines; he was starting to regret having taken Gold Wing Great Roc in. Now, he ended up with chaos in his shop, having listened to these two quarrel since the day before. Their disputes seemed never to calm down for long.
If outsiders kept seeing this, the prestige of Chaos Residence would vanish!
"If you have any skill, use that energy for delivering orders, and don’t forget, the one who performs the best will be rewarded," Chen Nuo said, frowning and interjecting to stop them.
