The Last Gentleman-Chapter 730 - 728: Shared Interests
[Jennifers Intestine]
This restaurant was indeed the highest-ranked in Lu Pu and was a direct affiliate of the Redundant Intestine Company,
originally a small shop started by Miss Jennifer, the company supervisor, at the headquarters restaurant. It later grew more prominent due to its unique flavors and was opened to the public at the suggestion of young people, but was only available to guests above Open Source.
Utilizing gourmet food as a bridge, once they encountered a valuable customer, they would try to finalize a long-term transfer cooperation with the Redundant Intestine Company right at the dining table.
Therefore, the arrival of William and the three other Silver Circle Patients immediately drew the attention of the entire Redundant Intestine Company, and naturally, they presented the finest ingredients for hospitality.
When the four people sitting in the private room saw the Nine-Turned Intestine being pushed in by a food cart, everyone present changed color, and even Reagan, who always enjoyed good food, nearly lost his grip on the chopsticks in his hand.
The so-called Nine-Turned Intestine was not a dish served on a plate but a graceful patient suffering from intestinal disease.
The patients intestines possessed regenerative properties and had a certain masochistic tendency. Having just come of age, she was pushed into the restaurant wearing only a garment that exposed her abdomen.
She proudly laid open her own abdomen in front of everyone, showing off the entwined parts of her intestine, apparently having deliberately avoided metabolism for seven days, stuffing her bulging intestines full of food.
In front of William and the others, there were also pots of boiling hot oil, cutlery, and dipping sauces placed,
The diners were required to cut the intestine themselves, scald it in the hot oil before dipping it in the sauce to eat, and those with unique tastes could also eat it raw.
After looking at one another, William simply paid and left.
When the other party tried to retain them, they found that the four had already disappeared.

[Dukes Castle]
Inside the suite,
Each of the four sat with a bowl of instant noodles provided by William, slurping them up with gusto. Reagan was even eating with his nose running and his eyes shining. He felt as if all the brain cells burned away by his recent research had been restored.
"My goodness! William, if youd told us about this earlier, we wouldnt have needed to eat intestines at all."
"I thought you had scouted out that intestine place in advance."
"I just heard all those Black Worm Researchers praising the Nine-Turned Intestine, never expected that the Parasites taste would be so different from ours."
"Its normal, Nash also likes to eat things from the intestines."
Reagan showed no sign of stopping after devouring three bowls of instant noodles in a row, causing Lorrian, not far away, to twitch at the sight, feeling somewhat pained by the spectacle.
"William, can you give me a few more bowls of this stuff? I feel like my brain has been activated, and my thinking capacity has greatly improved," Reagan said.
William scratched his head and said, "Ah, this is a special food for the Circus;to be honest, only Circus members should have access to it... And lately, weve been really short on instant noodles;I still owe a lot to Lorrian."
Reagan nodded and immediately slowed his pace of slurping the noodles, "No wonder, such good stuff isnt easy to come by;thanks, William, for sharing such quality food."
"You dont have to thank me. The upcoming Moon Creation Project is time-limited, and will certainly consume a lot of brain cells, so Ill continue to supply the instant noodles. Besides, if you really want long-term access to these noodles, Reagan, you can sign an external cooperation agreement with me, like Lorrian. No restriction on freedom, just help out in the Circus whenever you have time, and I can privately hook you up with several dozen bowls no problem."
At this, Lorrian looked over again, his Moon Eyes moving and his expression subtly changing.
"Sure, but only after Ive dealt with Black Worm matters... And speaking of which, we havent seen each other in a short while, but youve really changed a lot, William. One eye completely deprived, and it seems [Faye] senses something very dangerous about you."
William adjusted his monocle, "Oh, what can Miss Faye see?"
As William spoke,
a surge of electricity fluttered along Reagans metallic spine, and numerous blood-vessel-like wires began to coil around;a semi-real and semi-illusory Faye, her tongue filled with tiny holes resembling a telephone receiver, materialized.
Not far away, Lorrian immediately shifted his Moon Eyes, having previously sensed something else inside Reagan.
"Twin Body? No... Its an individual grafted by special technology, so strange. Its clearly not Twin Body, yet their consciousnesses have high compatibility, and their ranks grow in sync.
Is this the binding effect of human love, or some ancient technology Im unaware of?
At this moment, a sporadic electrical current noise emitted from Fayes mouth:
"Its something... extremely dangerous... a book. Inside the book, theres an intertwining of non-material plane entities. I can sense a woman, a very dangerous woman."
"Huh!?"
William was quite shocked. He had kept the storybook in the lining of his clothes under Yellow Skins watch;even any form of perception detection would be isolated from it.
"Fayes perception is somewhat special. It can undergo multiple frequency modulations through the electromagnetic spectrum. The book on you is causing a disturbance in a certain low-frequency band, unusually strong. She can even vaguely feel that theres a woman standing in the corner of the current room, holding a spoon."
Upon hearing these words,
Lorrian and Jessica were startled, sweat dripped down like a stress disorder as they immediately scanned every corner of the room.
But William was clear in his mind that he hadnt released anything from inside the storybook.
"What exactly is that thing? William, what did you all go through?"
William narrated the entire process of their adventure in the Central Domain to Reagan, who listened with wide eyes, excited by a new worldview but also showing discomfort and concern in his gaze.
Reagan had finally established his status in the Old World, and was finally able to lead a low-risk life with Faye. He hadnt expected a crisis from other planes to be brewing,
and once such a surreal evil notion spread, no one would be spared the consequences.
Smack~
Williams palm struck his shoulder forcefully.
"Reagan, as long as one stands high enough, theres no such thing as a threat. With your ability, you can even ascend higher.
The lunar construction tomorrow might provide you with inspiration for Mechanical Ascension, plus Lorrian is very eager to meet you. If the lunar construction goes well, you two can also try to cooperate deeply.
In Lorrians Moon, there are life forms you dont know about, Reagan. Youll find them very interesting." novelbuddy-cσ๓
With William facilitating,
Reagan also shifted his gaze, looking towards Lorrian who was leaning against the wall with his cup of noodles.
Reagan, having taken in too much information in an instant and after consuming five bowls of noodles, had no desire to sleep. "Why not start now? If were pressed for time, we need to save every second."
"Wouldnt it disturb the Dukes rest if we start now?"
"Were just beginning the preliminary preparations, including the Moon design, material preparation... and those old guys behind me once cooperated with the Old Moon.
They have the geological survey reports and related blueprints of the Old Moon.
Since youre going to create a moon, youll certainly use the Moonlight Fragments from the disintegration of the Old Moon. With the Old Moon intelligence I can provide, perhaps we can replicate a celestial body similar to the Old Moon.
Of course, theres also a very important point.
The Old Worlds concept of the moon has been deprived. The moon cannot be created. Therefore, our starting point for creation cannot be set as the Moon, but as a different kind of celestial body."
Having said this, Reagan sat down at the desk right away, printing out all the related materials of the Old Moon.
Lorrian was also interested, taking a stool and sitting next to Reagan. In just a few minutes of casual conversation, the two hit it off, chatting enthusiastically.
William and Jessica also joined the discussion with different perspectives,
The four of them, like an astronomy study group, engaged in a comprehensive discussion about the lunar construction plan. Lorrian directly used Illusion Technique to create a large blackboard, began to hand-draw the design based on the integration of everyones input and annotated the key points.
The next morning,
When Golden Mask came over to deliver breakfast, the whole walls of the suite were already occupied by the large blackboard, and the design of the Moon on it astonished him.
Before he could react, William handed him a stack of materials along with his Greed Ring.
"Please, Mr. Golden Mask, help us get these materials in a short period of time. You can just deduct the money."
Golden Mask quickly reviewed the list, some of the materials causing his entire mask to start melting, "A lot of troublesome materials indeed the consortium might not be able to provide all of them. However, this place is Lu Pu, the logistics center of the Old World, Ill do my best to collect them for you.
Im looking forward to your technical demonstration."
