*A week later*
Xiao Yi completed the task given by Ye Xinghan swiftly. He selected a four-story building in the city center, privately owned by the Winged Dragon Family. The building was spacious, capable of holding up to a thousand people.
The restaurant was named 'Shangri-La' (inspired by luxury hotels and restaurants from Ye Xinghan's modern knowledge). Following Ye Xinghan's instructions, they opted for a soft opening, inviting family heads from aristocrat to major families.
They were served all the dishes in a fine dining style, a concept Ye Xinghan had taught to Xiao Yi. The waitresses, trained rigorously over the four days, explained the unique aspects of each dish. The hospitality was surprising to the guests, with some family heads even joking about taking the waitresses home as personal stewards, though the staff remained professional.
The decor and atmosphere were designed to enhance coziness, an ambiance never before seen in Glory City, thanks to Ye Xinghan acting as the interior designer, drawing inspiration from modern luxury restaurants.
However, all chatter ceased once they tasted the food. Each dish was more delectable than the last, especially those from the 'Heaven Floor'. The hot food served directly after cooking, combined with its artistic presentation, was simply divine.
The extraordinary experience ended with an unexpected announcement of an auction. When one confused family head inquired about its purpose, the waitress explained, "We are auctioning 10 member cards. These cards are required to enter the Heaven Floor. Without them, you won't have the privilege to experience these 'Heaven' foods again."
The family heads were shocked; the idea of not tasting those exquisite dishes again was unacceptable.
(I will skip the auction parts. Hehehe)
In the end, all ten member cards were sold. After accounting for operational costs, the restaurant earned a million DSC that day. Xiao Yi personally delivered 400,000 DSC to Ye Xinghan, grinning all the way and even asking for more recipes.
However, the beneficiaries weren't just Ye Xinghan and the Winged Dragon Family. The happiest person was likely Nie En from the Heavenly Marks Family. Days earlier, Xiao Yi had approached him for a business partnership.
Xiao Yi, who doesn't know this name in Glory City?
Being a direct descendant of Noble Family, a rank higher than Heavenly Marks Family!
Of course, Nie En accepted Xiao Yi with pleasure.
After sealing the deal, the Heavenly Marks Family celebrated.
The conditions were incredibly generous; the Winged Dragon Family would buy meat, duck, chicken, milk, and eggs at above-market prices, and this wasn't a one-time deal.
As long as Shangri-La Restaurant operated, they would source these products from the Heavenly Marks Family.
This was a windfall for them.
With this influx of money, they could send more children to the Holy Orchid Institute each year, something that previously required immense sacrifice.
The elderly could also ease off from working long hours. It was like gold raining from the sky!

At present
**Holy Orchid Institute's Training Ground.**
Ye Xinghan sat alone in the middle of the forest, surrounded by water balloons and wind balloons. Some were already exploded, others still intact.
What was he doing?
