"I'm just an ordinary restaurant owner, that's all."
Lin Feng calmly shook his head, his tone as placid as a lake.
His nonchalant demeanor made Hu Liena and the other two twitch at the corners of their mouths.
A restaurant owner?
With your strength, people would believe you if you said you were a god!
Just a casual gesture can increase our spirit power; is this what you call an ordinary restaurant owner?
Then wouldn't the Titled Douluo of Spirit Hall only be able to work as security guards for you?
"These are my restaurant's rules: eat a meal, get a lucky draw," Lin Feng's voice remained lazy.
"Lucky draw?" Xie Yue repeated the word, his eyes filled with disbelief, "You mean, as long as we eat here, we can get a spirit power increase?"
"Not necessarily," Lin Feng leaned back into his rocking chair, his voice flat, "It depends on luck. Sometimes it's a spirit power increase, sometimes it's another reward."
Yan scratched his head, his voice still trembling: "Then... if we order more expensive dishes, will the rewards be better?"
Hearing this question, Lin Feng showed a meaningful smile.
This little fire person, though impulsive, had a quick mind.
"Of course," he said slowly, "The higher the consumption, the higher the prize pool level, and naturally, the better the rewards you can draw."
"However, with your current strength, you can only look at the third-level menu. Want to eat something more advanced? Improve your strength first."
The three exchanged glances, seeing shock in each other's eyes.
If everything this young shop owner said was true, then this restaurant was simply a holy land for Spirit Master cultivation!
A spirit power increase was something every Spirit Master dreamed of.
Even the various rare treasures of Spirit Hall might not have such an immediate effect.
"Then... then we'll take our leave," Hu Liena forced herself to calm down, bowing slightly to Lin Feng, "Thank you for the reward, Senior."
"No need to see me out," Lin Feng waved his hand, closing his eyes again.
Walking out of the restaurant, the three exchanged glances, seeing the same thought in each other's eyes.
This matter must be immediately reported to the Spirit Hall high-ups!
If it was truly as the mysterious shop owner said, that the higher the consumption, the better the reward, then wouldn't Spirit Hall's strength skyrocket in a short time?
Thinking of this, the three could no longer sit still.
"Let's go! Quickly return to the Supreme Pontiff Palace!" Hu Liena decided immediately, "Such an important matter must be reported to teacher at once!"
Before leaving, the three collectively looked back at the quaint little shop.
The three characters "Feng Ran Pavilion" were particularly striking in the setting sun, as if reminding them that everything they had just experienced was not a dream.
"Are we coming back tomorrow?" Yan asked in a low voice.
"Yes! Of course, we are!" Hu Liena said without hesitation, "Just for the effect of this spirit power increase, I'd come every day even if I had to sell everything I own!"
Xie Yue nodded in deep agreement: "You're right, such an opportunity is rare."
The three hurried away, their figures quickly disappearing at the end of the street.
Lin Feng naturally heard Hu Liena's trio's conversation, and after seeing them leave, he almost let out a joyous pig-like squeal.
Excellent!
That's it!
Quickly go back to Spirit Hall and call my leek... oh no, call all the Titled Douluo!
Let them come here to spend!
That way I can earn a lot of gourmet points, and then reaching the pinnacle of life won't be far, will it?
Thinking of Bibi Dong, that Supreme Pontiff-level big customer, and those Titled Douluo Elders, Lin Feng was overjoyed.
If a Titled Douluo casually ordered a few dishes from the ninth-level menu, how many gourmet points would that be!
However, to maintain his image as a master, Lin Feng still suppressed his excitement, continuing to lie in the rocking chair, feigning a nonchalant appearance.
"System, how was today's harvest?" Although Lin Feng knew he only earned thirty points today, he couldn't help but ask in his mind.
[Today's turnover: 300 gold coins]
[Gourmet points obtained: 30 points]
[System evaluation: Although you opened for business, these points aren't enough to buy even a small trinket. Keep working hard, you insignificant shop owner!]
Lin Feng's mouth twitched.
This rotten system really knows how to rub it in.
But it doesn't matter, when Bibi Dong and the others come, watch me explode the points!
Thinking of this, Lin Feng was in a great mood, humming a tune as he continued to lie in the rocking chair, waiting for more "leeks" to arrive tomorrow... Hu Liena's trio ran wildly, wishing they had wings to fly directly back to the Supreme Pontiff Palace.
"Quick, quick, quick! Such a big matter cannot be delayed!"
Yan was sweating profusely, but thinking of the change in his spirit power, he was incredibly excited.
The three rushed to the Supreme Pontiff Palace, startling the guards at the gate.
"What's wrong with these three? Were they chased by a Spirit Beast?"
"Quickly go inform teacher! We need to see His Excellency the Supreme Pontiff!" Hu Liena disregarded her composure and shouted directly at the guard.
The guard looked troubled: "Miss Hu Liena, His Excellency the Supreme Pontiff is in seclusion, no one is allowed to disturb him..."
"What?!"
The trio's faces instantly fell.
Seclusion now? Not early, not late, but precisely at this moment!
Yan paced anxiously: "It's over, it's over. Such a great merit can't be reported immediately; what if someone else gets ahead of us..."
"Don't panic!" Xie Yue's eyes darted around, "Let's find Elder Ju!"
That's right, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, although not the Supreme Pontiff, held a crucial position in Spirit Hall as one of the Supreme Pontiff's two trusted generals.
The three immediately changed direction, heading straight for Yue Guan's courtyard.
They didn't care about etiquette or anything else, directly pushing the door open.
"Elder Ju!"
As Hu Liena's trio rushed into the courtyard, they saw Chrysanthemum Douluo holding small golden scissors, pruning branches and leaves in the garden that filled almost the entire courtyard.
His movements were so elegant, his orchid-like fingers slightly curled, his posture so enchanting it was hard to look away.
"Oh my, what wind blew you three little ones here?"
Yue Guan didn't even lift his head, continuing to meticulously prune the flowers, his voice so delicate it gave people goosebumps.
"Elder, we have something important to report!" Hu Liena disregarded her usual politeness and went straight to the point.
"Important matter?" Yue Guan finally looked up, a hint of curiosity on his enchanting face, "Tell me, what could make you three so anxious?"
Hu Liena took a deep breath and began to recount in detail her experience at Feng Ran Pavilion today.
From being attracted by the scent, to the shock of seeing the sky-high menu, then the terrifying strength displayed by the young shop owner, and finally, the spirit power increase reward after the meal.
She spoke in extreme detail, afraid of missing any single detail.
Yue Guan initially listened with interest, but as he heard more, the expression on his face gradually grew strange.
When Hu Liena finished speaking, Yue Guan burst out laughing with a "pfft."
"Hahahahaha!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo laughed, shaking like a flower, pointing at the three with his orchid-like fingers, tears almost streaming from his eyes.
"I say, you three little ones, were you perhaps tricked by an illusion?"
Yue Guan put away his scissors, walked over to the three, and rubbed Hu Liena's head.
"A bowl of clear noodle soup for 100 gold coins, just consider it a lesson learned."
Seeing that Chrysanthemum Douluo completely disbelieved them, Yan and Xie Yue immediately swore on their lives, proving that Hu Liena's words were true.
This made Chrysanthemum Douluo pause slightly... Then, Chrysanthemum Douluo finally suppressed his laughter, stating somewhat seriously: "Are you all telling the truth?"
