"Lord, the noodles you wanted."
At this moment, Cook Four walked over from the sky bridge, carrying a pot of something in his hands.
This was naturally the instant noodles Ethan had asked for. When Mr. White saw the food Cook Four brought over, he couldn't help but swallow and said, "Lord Ethan, what is this? It smells so good."
"Instant noodles."
Ethan raised his brow and smiled, "It's a specialty from my hometown! People there love eating it, almost every night they have a bowl!"
"Really!", Mr. White's eyes lit up, "No wonder it smells so good. Then Lord Ethan, can I have some too?"
"You can, but that… spirit… what wine you took out in the villa earlier, shouldn't you also take it out and share with me?", Ethan smiled, "I also have some ice gall sashimi here. Drinking while watching the snowy scenery, I don't think Mr. White would refuse, right?"
"Of course not, hahaha!"
Mr. White laughed and took out the Magic Spirit Wine. But this time, instead of the small portion he had before, he brought out the large jar that had been drunk by Nostradamus earlier.
Ethan raised an eyebrow, "Mr. White, didn't you say this wine gets rarer with every bottle? Why so generous this time?"
"When drinking with Lord Ethan, of course I have to be more generous," Mr. White laughed loudly, "Besides, with this business project in place, are we brothers still afraid of not making money in the future?"
"Cheers!"
Ethan raised the cup Mr. White had poured for him and took a sip, "Mr. White, how much did you say this jar costs again?"
"One million dragon coins, why?", Mr. White blurted out.
"Didn't you say ten million dragon coins before?", Ethan looked at Mr. White with a raised brow. Sure enough, you can't trust a profiteer's words.
'Heh! Looks like I still underestimate d him.'
So Ethan smiled and said, "So the market price of this jar should actually be three hundred thousand dragon coins, right?"
"Uh… hehe…", Mr. White was exposed, but instead of getting flustered or annoyed, he shamelessly laughed, "Actually it's three hundred fifty thousand dragon coins. You know, as a merchant, you have to quote a higher price. That way the buyer can bargain more, and both sides have a higher chance of closing the deal. Isn't that a win-win?"
"Makes sense."
Ethan shook his head with a smile, then downed another mouthful of Magic Spirit Wine.
To be honest, the alcohol in this world... tasted absolutely terrible.
Aside from containing a bit of spiritual energy, it didn't have any real alcohol flavor at all. Ethan honestly felt that even roadside cheap liquor would taste better than this.
The main issue was that, apart from a faint hint of alcohol, it just tasted like plain water.
'Damn! And this stuff was being sold for three hundred fifty thousand dragon coins a jar?'
'What a rip-off!'
"So how is it?", After drinking, Mr. White stroked his little mustache and said, "Tastes good, right? I'm telling you, this is truly fine wine…"
"Not good."
Ethan cut him off without hesitation.
But Mr. White seemed not to have processed it yet and continued bragging, "This wine was preserved from the old world. It's said people in the old world were very good at brewing, but unfortunately the method has already been lost. Otherwise… huh? What did you just say, not good?"
"Yes, it's terrible," Ethan rolled his eyes, "If there's a chance in the future, I'll let you taste what real good wine is like."
After being disappointed by the Magic Spirit Wine, Ethan finally remembered the important matter.
"Come, Mr. White, say cheese."
"Say what… cheese?"
Mr. White looked confused, but followed Ethan's instruction and said the word.
But the moment he grinned with that half-smiling expression, his face was recorded by Ethan and uploaded to the world channel.
[Short video: Ethan and Mr. White were soaking in a steaming hot spring pool. Around them floated snowflakes as big as palms, yet they didn't affect the water temperature at all.]
Then the camera rotated, showing the hot spring pools layer by layer like a masterpiece carved by the gods. Not just the hot springs, but also the massive swimming pool below, and the sky bridge beside it, stretching all the way to a villa of over a thousand square meters.
And that wasn't all, the video even captured the snow-covered surroundings.
[World Channel]
["Lord of District Seven, please act like a human!"]
["My god, a real hot spring!"], Player A sent three envious emojis, ["This District Seven Lord is actually soaking in a warm hot spring in a snowstorm? And even more outrageous, why does the water look so warm."]
["Brother A, don't you know hot springs usually have a spring source underneath?"], Player B said, ["@A They're usually connected to volcanic veins or something. As long as the source isn't blocked, the temperature stays."]
["Is that what I'm asking?"], A cut him off, ["What I want to know is, does Lord Ethan need more people at his place? Can I go be a pebble in the hot spring pool?"]
["Didn't you notice there are wine cups and ice gall meat placed by the hot spring?"]
Player C reminded everyone.
That got everyone playing a spot-the-difference game.
["Ice gall meat is nothing. Did you see that pot of instant noodles? I haven't had instant noodles in so long. I used to eat it every day until I got sick of it, but now I suddenly miss it. What's going on?"]
Player D said, "That's called being cheap!"
"…"
["What's so great about a hot spring? Didn't you see it has four layers?"], Player E sent three lemon emojis.
["What's so great about four layers? Didn't you see the sky bridge connecting the hot spring to the villa?"], Player F continued.
["What's so great about the bridge? Didn't you notice the villa is at least five thousand square meters?"], Player G continued the chain.
["What's so great about a five-thousand-square-meter villa…"]
As the players in the world channel went wild with envy, Ethan's admiration points finally surged once again.
[Player A: Admiration +20]
[Player B: Admiration +15]
[Player C: Envy, jealousy, and hatred critical hit +40]
[Player E…]
Countless admiration points flooded in like a tide, almost like a cheat had been activated. In an instant, Ethan's admiration value was filled to the maximum!
[Admiration value reached 100,000, obtained "Last Light of the Night" reward: 500 Sun Worm Eggs.]
[Sun Worm Eggs: Feed on spiritual energy. They can be hatched using spirit stones or by infusing spiritual energy. Once the Sun Worm hatches, you will be shocked by how dazzling its light is.]
[PS: Please find a way to hatch the Sun Worm Eggs as soon as possible. Otherwise, the three days of polar night that accompany the extreme cold night will make survival extremely difficult for players. Sun Worms are the only precious creatures that can provide a certain level of safety when going out.]
'Polar night?'
Ethan's pupils shrank instantly.
Hearing those words, he immediately understood. Over the next three days, the sun probably wouldn't appear at all.
And just how terrifying the nights in the Mist World were, no one needed Ethan to explain. Everyone knew it.
[Lord Channel] +1
After Ethan received the admiration reward, he hadn't even had time to close his magic book.
At that moment, a new message popped up in the Lord Channel.
Looks like a new lord announcement had arrived.
