264 Restauran (2/2)

”Let us do it like that then,” Xue Wei said and nodded his head. ”Bai Tianyi and I will focus on the Soul Tower and the clues that might have been left within while Lin Xiao and Hei Gou will focus on gathering information from the rest of the students.”

”Remember, focus mainly on massacres, or people vanishing, either amongst the common folk or here in the academy itself.”

Lin Xiao and Hei Gou nodded their heads. They were not sure if they could get the results they needed, but they would without a doubt do their very best.

”Well, we will start tomorrow.” Xue Wei stretched lazily. ”For today, let us find some place to eat.”

Although they no longer needed to eat food to sustain their bodies, they still enjoyed a meal from time to time, and it had felt like eons since they had had their last meal.

The academy had a restaurant that specializes in spiritual food. The price for the food was calculated with merit points and a meal could easily cost a hundred merit points per person. Fortunately, Xue Wei and the others each had been awarded a bit more than ten thousand merit points from their hunts of the bandits. They stepped inside the restaurant after finding it.

”Would you like a table or a room?” The waiter that was standing at the door saw the appearance of four experts with only two eyes and surprise flashed in his eyes. There was a trace of disdain as well, but he quickly hid it, and he was able to act respectfully even though he internally looked down upon them.

”What do you guys prefer?” Xue Wei asked the others, and they just shrugged their shoulders. Looking back at the servant, Xue Wei smiled apologetically and made the decision himself. ”We will want a room then.”

Although there had not been anyone hating on them because of their two eyes, many sent them strange glances and they were often treated as monkeys in a zoo, like a show that others watched with excitement and curiosity.

”I have to tell you that a room costs seventy-five merit points to rent,” the servant said as he looked at Xue Wei as if he was a beggar, ”The meals in the rooms are also much more delicious and so their price is higher. You will need to pay at least a thousand merit points each to be in the room.”

Although this was a somewhat incorrect statement, it was not far off from the truth. Most people that rent a room end up spending around five hundred merit points on average, and merit points were difficult to gather, especially for someone with only two eyes. What were they even capable of doing?

Xue Wei understood what the waiter meant. The man clearly implied they did not have the points to dine in a room, and in fact, he doubted whether or not they even had the points to dine on the ground floor of the restaurant.

Xue Wei's face turned ugly. He had been polite to everyone since arriving at the academy and he had not been treated unfairly in return, but he was not the type to take it lying down when someone slighted him.

”Are you questioning whether or not I have enough merit points?” Xue Wei's voice erupted coldly. The waiter had not expected Xue Wei to speak like this, and his eyes turned slightly haughty.

”I am glad that you understand what I am trying to say. Now scram!” The waiter had not wanted to display his disdain towards Xue Wei and the others, but being called out like this made him go on the offensive, and his voice was raised causing many of the experts within the restaurant to look towards the entrance and the five people who seemed to be making a commotion.

”You do not know how many merit points we have. How can you say that we do not have enough?” Xue Wei did not back down and retorted with a voice filled with ridicule.

”You are obviously at the bottom of the academy! How can you possibly have enough merit points to eat in an establishment such as this restaurant?” The waiter did not back down and instead responded with an insult.

”Bottom of the academy?” Xue Wei sneered before he flashed his core student identity medal. ”You think that I am useless?”

When Xue Wei flashed his core student identity medal, the other three behind him also took out their own medals of equal stature, and they looked at the waiter as if they had seen an idiot.

”Core... core student?” the waiter was rather shocked when he saw these medals. His face, which had been extremely haughty, suddenly paled and his eyes widened like two bronze bells.

”All four of you are core students?” The waiter did not believe it. ”Impossible! How can you have core student medals? All of you are obviously waste experts! None of you have more than two eyes!”

”So what?” Xue Wei asked arrogantly, and his words caused everyone present to be shocked. Indeed, so what? Although they only had two eyes, most of the experts with keen senses could feel a bit of a threat and danger from these four people in front of them; only people who were as clueless as the waiter assumed that they were wastes.

”So what? Well, are you all primordial beasts?” The waiter could not accept what was happening in front of him and the only reason he could find to explain why these four were core students was that they were all primordial beasts with exceptional talent.

”No,” Xue Wei replied and shook his head, and then a chilled glint flashed in his eyes, ”but what we are, what does it have to do with you?

”Take a look at our merit points, and lead us to a room!”
