Chapter 101 The Apocalypse Manor 16
Because those with superpowers can eat only one meal a day, the group that had already eaten lunch wasn't actually very hungry.
So they don't care whether there's staple food or not; they mainly want to eat vegetables to enhance their superpowers.
Li Xianwen walked confidently to Wenjiu, took out 4,500 ghost coins, and said, "I want a serving of hand-torn cabbage and a serving of stir-fried cauliflower."
He knew that there seemed to be only one serving of each dish here.
In addition, those who order first will naturally be served first!
However, he did not remind them, since the order board also stated that they needed to wait patiently and that there was only one servant in the manor.
That's no wonder he got it.
After Li Xianwen finished ordering, Xiao Da stepped forward and placed four low-level crystal cores in front of Wenjiu. "Hello, could you please make me a serving of hand-torn cabbage?"
However, what Li Xianwen expected did not happen. The cabbage was much larger than the baby bok choy; one cabbage could make four servings of hand-torn cabbage.
"Okay, please wait a moment." Wen Jiu put away the crystal core and wrote down the dishes.
After ordering, Xiao Da went to his seat in the restaurant to wait.
Afterwards, Liang Xia ordered a dish of green beans and eggplant, which cost one high-grade crystal core and one low-grade crystal core.
Hong Zihan ordered a dish of hand-shredded cabbage and stir-fried cauliflower.
Miao Yan ordered a stir-fried lettuce with pork and a winter melon and corn soup.
Miao Yan wanted to take advantage of the fact that the crystal core was still usable here, eat more today to become stronger, so that he could better collect the ghost coins tomorrow.
With increased strength, there's a greater chance of killing higher-level zombies.
After the group ordered their food, Wenjiu went to the kitchen.
He needed to cook for five people as soon as possible, as his sister was waiting for him to cook dinner.
However, not long after Wen Jiu went in, Wen Qi put away the key to the money machine and went into the kitchen as well.
Just before going inside, Wen Qi told Li Xianwen to ask him to call her from the kitchen if any guests arrived.
However, there shouldn't be any guests coming to the manor after six o'clock.
"Xiao Jiu, I'm here to help you." As soon as Wen Qi entered, she picked up the vegetables and started washing them.
The kitchen was spacious enough that two people could move around comfortably inside.
Twenty minutes later, Li Xianwen's two dishes were ready.
Forty minutes later, all the dishes for the five people were served.
While Wen Jiu was cooking the last two dishes, Wen Qi had already finished washing the remaining vegetables and fruits.
The two of them were going to use the leftover vegetables to make hand-torn cabbage, garlic spinach, stir-fried shredded potatoes with chives, stir-fried garlic shoots with meat, winter melon and corn soup, and steamed sweet potatoes as the staple food.
Now that Wenjiu has successfully embarked on the path of cultivation as a superhuman, he no longer needs crystal cores.
However, once the dungeon ends and they return to Earth, they will no longer be able to use the fruits and vegetables here to enhance their abilities.
So Wen Qi and Wen Jiu discussed bringing those crystal cores back to Blue Star.
As for collecting the ghost coins now, it's to complete the mission and make their purpose seem less clear.
Once the turnover reaches 500,000 Ghost Coins, then we'll start collecting Ghost Coins and Crystal Cores together, as long as the customers have them.
When Wen Qi and Wen Jiu came out of the kitchen with the dishes, Li Xianwen was the only one left in the restaurant.
The others had already finished eating and returned to their rooms to cultivate.
At first, the group didn't quite believe Li Xianwen's words, but after experiencing them for themselves, they finally understood why these vegetables were so good.
After Wen Qi and Wen Jiu sat down, he looked at Li Xianwen and asked, "Do you have something to say?"
“Yes, I have something to trade with you,” Li Xianwen nodded.
Then, he took out a book of basic wood-based martial arts techniques from inside his clothes and handed it to Wen Jiu to read.
After taking the wine, Wenjiu glanced at the cover, eager to open it and read it.
"Wooden Palm Technique", "Flying Flower Technique", "Poisonous Plant Technique", "Control", "Parasitism", "Healing", "Entanglement", "Unstoppable", "Wooden Blade".
There are quite a few basic skills related to the Wood element, and Wenjiu is captivated by them.
Every boy dreams of having the ability to fly and travel underground, and all sorts of strange and wonderful things, from childhood.
For example, becoming Superman, Ultraman, or the Monkey King.
After quickly flipping through it, Wenjiu asked, "How do you want to exchange it?"
Li Xianwen said, "I would like to use this martial arts manual in exchange for staying here for two days and two nights, and for six dishes a day."
Li Xianwen waited expectantly for Wenjiu's reply. Two days and two nights plus six dishes would cost at least 18,000 ghost coins.
"I agree to make a deal with you, but those six dishes can only cost 2,000 Ghost Coins. Also, you need to bring at least three more reliable ability users of D-rank or below to our manor," Wen Jiu said slowly, as if she had Li Xianwen completely under her control.
Seeing Li Xianwen frowning and hesitating, Wenjiu added, "18,000 Ghost Coins require six high-level crystal cores. If I use six high-level crystal cores, I can definitely get more than just this basic martial arts technique."
Li Xianwen thought about it again. He only spent one high-level crystal core to buy this martial arts manual, so it was actually a good deal for him.
However, bringing three guests to the manor is not easy, but it's not difficult either, and you can also earn some brokerage fees from it.
“Okay,” Li Xianwen replied.
As for Wenjiu, the reason she agreed to the request was that the three guests could promote their manor, which would increase their chances of obtaining other wood-type martial arts skills.
Now that he can't leave the manor, the rooms are empty anyway, but having people live there would make him money.
...
By the time the wine transaction was completed, Wen Qi had already eaten almost a third of the dishes.
She was very hungry, and her brother's cooking was delicious, so she ate a lot.
She felt much more relaxed in this instance, finally not having to make decisions or experience everything alone.
While warming the wine, he continued to feel the flow of energy within his body as he ate.
After that meal, he felt that if he ate a few more dishes tomorrow, he could break through to level E.
As for practicing martial arts, we'll leave that for tomorrow after breakfast.
After cleaning up the restaurant, the two went back to Wen Qi's room together.
During the meal, the two didn't have time to talk much.
"Sister, why don't you also use the crystal core to begin your cultivation and awaken your supernatural abilities? You also have the talent for cultivation. I'm afraid that someone stronger than you will come and try to seize the manor, and then others will bully you." Wen Jiu said with a worried look on her face and eyes full of concern.
Wen Qi shook her head and rejected her brother's suggestion.
Then he hugged Wenjiu, a faint smile on his face, and whispered in Wenjiu's ear, "Let's improve your strength first. If we have more crystal cores, then we can talk about my cultivation of superpowers."
