Chapter 290 - Ceramic Mountain (2/2)
The corner of Tang Wulin's mouth twitched.
Am I dreaming? Maybe I won't have to complete jobs to feed myself! One hundred points isn't enough to keep me full anyway. It's only enough for five or six meals for a normal person.
His eyes lit up at the thought.
Tang Wulin had scouted out the prices at every window, and the cheapest dish was ten points. The meal he ate today costed over a thousand. Come tomorrow, and he might starve to death.
He staggered out of the dining hall once he finished eating. With every step, he felt closer to bursting.
“Captain, can't you restrain yourself a bit?” Xie Xie wore an odd expression. “Everyone in the outer court recognizes you by now.”
Tang Wulin stared at him wide-eyed. “How will restraint feed me? Do you have any idea how painful it is to be hungry?”
“Fine. Just pretend I didn't say anything.”
“You know, I seem to remember someone saying he would treat us all to dinner. Let's go.” Tang Wulin smirked.
“Y-you're still hungry?” Xie Xie's jaw dropped.
Tang Wulin chuckled. “I'll be done digesting by the time we get there.” In truth, there was something strange bubbling in his veins. His blood essence was surging through his body before he ate, as if it were boiling. The sensation reminded him of fusing with the Golden Dragon King's energy after breaking a seal.
He was the one who understood his body best. After gorging himself, his blood essence thickened, growing more vigorous, and his blood seemed richer than before. Perhaps this was a method of cultivation for him.
Due to this sensation, he prodded Xie Xie to go out for another round of food. He wanted to test what was going on with his blood essence, along with the effect more nutritious food had on it.
“Fine, you win. Let's go eat. Let's see if your belly will burst.” Xie Xie turned to the girls. “Come on, I'm treating you all. We can stroll through the outer court too! The outer court is practically a town itself. We've gotta explore!”
“Okay.” Both Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan approved of his plan.
The four left Spirit Ice Plaza and entered a street lined with warm orange lights and bustling with people.
Soon after they arrived on this street, they found a shop full of rowdy people.
“What's that place?” Xu Xiaoyan looked with curious eyes.
Xie Xie peeked into the shop. “It looks like this place sells drinks. Huh, so Shrek Academy has this kind of thing too. Let's go in. We can grab some juice or something.”
“Yeah! Let's go. I want ice cream!” Xu Xiaoyan exclaimed in delight.
The drink shop was busy and was nearing capacity. The server dashed to and fro, taking orders and bringing customers their orders, the latter who mostly wore Shrek Academy uniforms.
The four managed to find a table with great difficulty and sat down. They waved for a waitress, ordering juice and ice cream.
It seemed that no matter the place, girls couldn't resist ice cream. Not even the detached Gu Yue could keep her paws off of it. Once their orders arrived, the two girls happily dug in.
After taking a sip of his orange juice, Tang Wulin nudged Xie Xie, whose eyes wandered everywhere. “What are you looking at?”
Xie Xie smirked. “I'm just scouting the place to see if there are any pretty senior sisters here! I need to prepare for adulthood, you know?”
Doubt clouded Tang Wulin's features. “How are you preparing?”
