Chapter 794 - Sing a Song, Ambush from Ten Sides (1/2)

The restaurant instantly became much quieter. A lot of people began discussing quietly among themselves while countless gazes were gathered on the stranger who was being served by a waiter at the hall in the first floor.

Everyone tried to guess his identity, and they also tried to guess just what sort of information he wanted to learn from the waiter.

The stranger did not disappoint them. He spoke!

But the first question that the person asked made them nearly plant their faces against the table.

“Do you have singers in the restaurant?”

“Yes, of course. Sir, do you want a singer to relieve you of your boredom?” An understanding and subtle smile appeared on the waiter’s face. He quickly said, “We don’t have singers in the restaurant, but there are a few local girls who are rather pretty nearby, and they sing beautifully as well. But if you want to ask them over, you might need to pay quite the fee.”

Silence fell among the eavesdroppers.

Countless sounds of people spitting out wine and coughing could be heard in the restaurant. Those sounds rose and fell, and among them were a few barks of laughter.

“Singer? Was there a need for that person to be so mysterious?”

“Haha! What a joke!”

Happy ignored the sound waves that suddenly rose around him, causing the area to become lively. He just took a sip of his wine. “We have to enjoy our lives while we live, and we shouldn’t drink alone. I’m alone right now, and I have to face a group of boring people. Go and get me a beautiful girl who can sing well. I’ll be able to pay you and her.”

He said these words boldly, and he also spent his money readily. Happy swung his arm, and a gold note landed in the waiter’s hand.

The waiter’s eyes immediately sparkled. “Ah! Sir, just you wait, I’ll make arrangements for you.”

The people who had been laughing and mocking Happy in the restaurant fell silent. They stared at the gold note the waiter clutched tightly in his hands, and they were finally unable to help themselves but look astounded.

There were plenty of universal currencies in World of Martial Arts.

Silver, silver notes, gold, gold ingots, and gold notes!

There was no need to even talk about how much silver was worth at this point.

Silver notes were at least worth one thousand taels of silver, and those that were worth the highest were worth ten million taels of silver per piece.

One tael of gold was worth ten taels of silver.

One gold ingot was worth ten thousand taels of silver.

But one gold note was worth at least one thousand taels of gold, and it was worth the same as one gold ingot, but no one will keep a gold note on their person, even one that was worth the least.

Hiring a singer and drinking while she sang was not something rare in the game, but spending such a high amount of money over here was practically the same as spending money in the most expensive places in Beijing.

Hence, many people stopped talking. When they stared at the stranger, their eyes were now curious, but they still exercised restraint. They also no longer dared to judge a book by its cover.

The efficiency in the game was very high.

The waiter soon brought a girl with a pipa up the stairs.

When the girl reached Happy, she greeted him with a curtsy before she quietly sat across Happy, and elegant music rose in the restaurant.

But Happy did not ask the girl to drink with him, which was what the people expected him to do. He just quietly ate a few side dishes and peanuts that did not cost much, and no one could figure him out.

It had started off with a bang, but ended with just a peep, and the people were baffled by this.

“That guy’s really weird.”

“But he’s quite interesting, no?”

This scene had long since attracted Teacher’s attention. What especially caught his attention was that the stranger who spent such a large amount of money did not say anything to the girl. He just ate and drank aloofly, creating such an atmosphere that he looked like he was in his own world. The group of people in the restaurant began to talk among themselves.

“Forget it. Ignore him. He might be someone who had his heart broken, and he’s here to drink until he’s drunk.”

They watched for a while, but the stranger did not do anything else. Quite a number of people lost interest. They gradually drew their curtains and went on with their own business.

The five tables near the windows originally wanted to draw the curtains.

But after a while, they saw, through the curtains, the person say something to the singer. Then, immediately, the atmosphere in the restaurant became strange.

The clanging sounds of the pipa were filled with a murderous presence while it echoed in the restaurant.
