Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 350 What is this, why is it so expensive?
"Isn’t a banquet only held for some important occasion? What are you guys having a feast for if nothing’s happening?" Chen Nuo complained.
Tian Peng and Xiong Daoren remained silent, but they couldn’t help thinking, isn’t losing a teammate an important matter?
Chen Nuo felt that these two were a bit odd today, eyeing them up and down.
Gazing at the heavy loads on the man and bear, he couldn’t help but inquire, "What is this...?"
"Are these treasures?" Chen Nuo’s eyes lit up, "You guys have actually found quite a bit this time?"
The treasures that Tian Peng finds are no different from the ones Chen Nuo finds; after all, they end up in his hands in the end.
Tian Peng gave an awkward smile, "Shopkeeper Chen, these are... just luggage, not treasures."
Luggage? Chen Nuo was slightly stunned, "Are you guys fleeing from disaster?"
"Shopkeeper Chen, we’re here to seek refuge with you!" Tian Peng said, rubbing his hands together with a cheerful tone.
"Sorry, Chaos Residence doesn’t offer accommodation services." The moment he heard they were not Magical Treasures, Chen Nuo instantly lost interest and turned to head inside the shop.
He had to prepare the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall dish, and had no time for idle chatter.
Seeing Chen Nuo turn away, Tian Peng panicked, calling out quickly, "Shopkeeper Chen, we’re here to eat as well!"
Chen Nuo paused, not leaving, and turned to give Tian Peng a look, "Then follow along."
With that, he entered the building; as long as it was about eating, he was always welcoming.
Tian Peng and Xiong Daoren gathered their belongings and followed carefully; they had only piled up everything last night to stay warm.
"Let’s see, what do you want to eat?" Chen Nuo got straight to the point and pushed the menu in front of Tian Peng; the menu hovered in mid-air.
Tian Peng and Xiong Daoren had been somewhat apprehensive, but the moment they stepped into the shop, they felt inexplicably calmed.
Who in this world could force their way into Chaos Residence? Inside Chaos Residence, let alone whether Yun Zhongzi could find them, even if he came in the morning, he probably wouldn’t dare to act rashly.
Shopkeeper Chen is so awesome!
With their minds at ease, their appetites naturally returned. They had been busy plotting to steal Magical Treasures for the last few days and hadn’t even gone out to eat. Although they had the power of Divine Skills and could withstand Fasting without suffering any harm,
their inner desires were unbearable. They had been longing for a good meal for far too long.
Tian Peng looked at Xiong Daoren and patted his chest, "Daoren, you’ve worked hard even if you haven’t done much today. Come on, it’s your turn to order. I’m treating."
"How could I impose, Peng..."
The failure of their mission was also due to his own negligence!
Xiong Daoren verbally declined, but his hand involuntarily rested on the menu; it couldn’t be helped, the attractiveness of Shopkeeper Chen’s dishes was too great, and he was unable to resist.
Xiong Daoren opened the menu and started to concentrate. Each exquisite dish struck right at the heart of Xiong Daoren’s desires, making him want to try them all.
But he could only pick one, truly a difficult choice.
As he flipped through the menu, Xiong Daoren reached the end of the dishes section.
His gaze swept downward and suddenly stopped on the very last dish. He couldn’t help but swallow saliva, and his eyes instantly blazed with extreme craving.
Xiong Zhuangdian pointed at it, and loudly said, "Peng, I want this one!"
"Which one are you talking about? How am I supposed to know with ’that one, that one’?"
Looking at Xiong Daoren, Tian Peng asked magnanimously, "Just one dish? Aren’t you ordering anything else?"
"What about drinks? Soda or something, aren’t you having any?" Just one dish is seriously underestimating Tian Peng’s wealth.
"One is great already, thank you, Peng!" Xiong Daoren nodded happily, beaming.
The price didn’t matter, as long as Peng thought of his little brother.
Chen Nuo stepped forward to take a look, raised his eyebrow, and spoke softly, "This dish is priced at the cost of ten dining sessions, but since it’s being promoted for the first time today, we are offering a 10% discount. So it will only cost nine times."
Nine, nine times! Tian Peng was completely dumbfounded at once.
"What kind of dish is it that it’s so expensive?!" Tian Peng asked hurriedly.
"It’s the new specialty of Chaos Residence today, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
A new item? Could it be the one he had heard about last time?
Tian Peng felt both shocked and thrilled. He was genuinely happy about the new launch, but this price somewhat dampened his spirits.
Right away, Tian Peng probed, "Shopkeeper Chen, why is this new item priced so high?"
Even though you can spend that much on hotpot by adding more dishes, after all, the base price is normal.
Chen Nuo appeared unconcerned, "If I’ve set that price for it, then there certainly is a reason that justifies it."
With such a high probability of awakening Divine Skills, it’s quite normal for the price to be even higher.
"Er, Peng, should I change my order to a different dish?" Xiong Daoren asked somewhat awkwardly.
He had been too focused on the appearance of the dish and hadn’t noticed the price next to it; ten times the standard rate for one dish was just too expensive for this game!
"No need!" Tian Peng shook his head, putting on a brave face, "Do I, your Peng, look like someone short of money? I’ll buy it!"
Tian Peng displayed his imposing manner with a slap on the table.
Chen Nuo squinted and smiled, "Done. The money has been deducted from your account."
He was always so prompt and decisive.
Upon hearing this, Tian Peng immediately felt a twinge of pain, but he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, Daoren hadn’t asked for any drinks or beverages, otherwise, today would have been a major financial blow.
Although there was a lot of money in his account, spending so recklessly still made him somewhat reluctant.
His hands trembled imperceptibly as he took the menu from Xiong Daoren’s hand; he really hadn’t expected Daoren’s choice to be so expensive. Perhaps it was better to be frugal and just pick something at random.
As Tian Peng thought to himself and casually flipped through the menu, his eyes fell on the same page Daoren had been looking at, and the next moment.
"Shopkeeper Chen, I’ll take a serving of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall too!" Tian Peng said, his voice excited but firm, his gaze riveted on the exquisite picture on the menu, unwilling to look away.
Xiong Daoren was slightly taken aback and hesitantly said, "Peng, didn’t you just say this dish was too expensive?"
"What, you’re allowed to eat it and I’m not?" Tian Peng rolled his eyes and retorted without hesitation.
"Peng should eat! Peng should eat!" Xiong Daoren quickly shook his head and forced a smile; how could he dare to object?
After all, it was Peng treating him today. What Peng chose to eat was up to him, but he was just surprised by the magnitude of Peng’s spending.
Just the two of them together, and it was already the price of 18 dining sessions—Peng was truly generous!
Xiong Daoren felt that if it were him, he would definitely not have the heart to spend so much, and his respect for Tian Peng grew even more.
Shopkeeper Chen had no interest in the mindset of this bear, Daoren. To him, ordering food was the most important thing—as long as it was paid for.
"Anything else you’d like?" Chen Nuo asked casually.
"No...not for now, let’s decide while eating," Tian Peng chuckled, tactfully declining.
With his finances already greatly strained, he would save where he could elsewhere!
Hearing this, Chen Nuo nodded, "The bill has been settled, so just wait here! I’ll start preparing it now."
Tian Peng managed a grin, about to respond, but suddenly, he noticed something hanging on the wall, and his expression drastically changed.
He pointed with a trembling hand and said, "Shopkeeper Chen, isn’t that..."
