Wang Xiaohai went to the grocery cart behind the hotel and bought a bunch of daily necessities—a funky alarm clock, a fragrant soap, and a windmill music box. He put them all in his ring as a souvenir from mainland China.
When shopping around, time flies by very quickly and it gets dark very quickly.
Wang Xiaohai lay on the soft bed, staring at the wind paintings on the wall of the room in a daze. If he had not been attracted by the treasures here, he would have gone to the Dingwen Church to investigate long ago.
"I'll rest at night and check the progress of the project during the day. With my speed, no one will be able to detect me. They will just think that I'm in the red alert zone. The two zones are isolated anyway, so no one will recognize my identity." Wang Xiaohai thought. He believed that the nobles and the wealthy would choose to stay in the green zone. After all, the richer people are, the more afraid they are of death. They rarely stay in the yellow and red alert zones where death is likely to occur. He also believed that there might be several bigwigs in Steam City living next door to him!
The advantage of this is that it is easier for him to explore secrets. He only needs to sneak into the neighbor's room, which is close and convenient. Wang Xiaohai thought it would be even better if he had a X-ray vision, but he couldn't use it carelessly even if he really had a X-ray vision function. After all, he is not a pervert.
While his thoughts were wandering, he heard a slight noise coming from the next room. Wang Xiaohai immediately listened attentively. Although the room was well soundproofed, Wang Xiaohai could still hear vague sounds, as if someone was looking for a toilet - that's right, if there was any noise in the middle of the night, it could be either going to the toilet or doing a double sex. Wang Xiaohai used his martial arts to block out the sound, continued to lie on the bed, and soon fell asleep.
Wang Xiaohai discovered that his martial energy strength also increased when he was resting, and the color was a little darker than usual. This subtle change was as subtle as the time it takes for light to fly from his left hand to his right hand, and ordinary people could not detect it.
"Then I can sleep all the time and still advance to the awakening limit!" Wang Xiaohai muttered, but based on his calculations based on the speed of advancement, it would take at least two hundred years, and he couldn't wait that long!
Wang Xiaohai pushed open the door and prepared to go out for breakfast. At the same time, the door of the room 302 next door was also opened. A woman wearing a black veil, an aristocratic dress and black stockings appeared. She had an inexplicable temptation.
As if feeling Wang Xiaohai's gaze, the woman showed a disdainful expression, snorted coldly, and turned to walk downstairs.
Wang Xiaohai thought that it might be because he had been single for too long, or it might be because he hadn't seen Yunmei and the others for a long time. He shook his head and followed them downstairs.
The restaurant on the first floor of Desert Journey has five tables, each with three seats, arranged in the shape of a regular triangle to ensure distance and space between them.
The food on four tables had been touched, but not yet cleared because there was only one person still eating at each table. It was a rule of the hotel that tables could not be cleared in front of guests. Only table number five remained untouched, so the woman in black veil walked over to it; she couldn't possibly eat what others had left.
"Good morning, Earl Daly!" A man at table number four took off his hat to salute the woman in black veil - he held the brim of the hat with his right hand and pressed it against his chest, then bowed deeply.
Wang Xiaohai thought to himself, "So this woman's name is Dali, and she's an earl? But the aura she gives me is at most that of a knight. Could a knight also be made an earl? I guess she has some background!"
Count Daly ignored the person who greeted him and sat down at table number five. He picked up his knife and fork and started eating the hot sandwiches, milk and hot dogs on the table.
Only then did Wang Xiaohai notice that the five tables, while seemingly made of wood, were not. Instead, they were carved from heat-insulating cotton rock. Three round holes were placed in the tables, into which three metal plates fit seamlessly. The bottom of the tables was also sealed, but there was a small door that could be opened to allow access to a hot stove, keeping the three metal plates warm. He walked over to the seat to Earl Daly's right, sat down, and began to eat.
The food on all five tables was identical. Wang Xiaohai wasn't afraid of any poison. He grabbed a sandwich and devoured it in one gulp. He grabbed a hot dog and gulped down his milk in one gulp. The entire meal took less than five seconds! How could this amount of food fill him up? He could eat several cows.
The diners around him looked askance at Wang Xiaohai's eating style, wondering how this country bumpkin could afford such an expensive hotel? Did he pick up some money on the street? The chill in Deli's eyes grew even colder. Thinking of the rude stare she had just received from this guy, she suddenly felt uneasy, her expression as if she had swallowed a fly.
Wang Xiaohai thought of a sentence: I like to see you hate me but can't get rid of me.
"Waiter, the food is gone." Wang Xiaohai shouted loudly.
The nobles and wealthy who were dining were all startled. They were all gentle and graceful, so how could Wang Xiaohai be so rude and shouty? Even if they didn't have enough for breakfast, they wouldn't complain and would just wait for lunch to eat more.
Deli really wanted to plug her ears with her fingers. She didn't want to hear Wang Xiaohai's voice.
Two girls in maid outfits came over and said, "Sir, our breakfast is a fixed amount. We only prepared fifteen servings."
"What if I'm hungry? How about you go buy me some food?" Wang Xiaohai asked. "Do you look down on me and think I'm a nouveau riche?"
"No, sir." Although the waitress in maid outfit really thought so in her heart, she couldn't say it out loud. The guests spent so much money on accommodation, so she couldn't offend them!
"Then I'll tell you the truth, I'm a nouveau riche! Haha!" Wang Xiaohai said as he took out a handful of gold from his pocket and placed it on the table. The "bang" sound startled Countess Daly. "Maid sister, call all the waiters in the hotel and give each of them a tip of one or two taels of gold. With the rest, buy me some food."
"Are you really giving it to us?" The maid's voice was a little excited. There were at least fifty taels of gold on the table. There were thirty waiters in their hotel, which was equivalent to two people in each room. If each person got one tael, there would still be twenty taels of gold left. One tael of gold was equivalent to her half-year salary.
"Of course I'll give it to you. I'm a nouveau riche and I won't go back on my word!" Wang Xiaohai raised his head in disdain, as if he regarded the gold as worthless dirt.
All the waiters in the hotel gathered around and lined up to receive tips. For the first time, they felt that the nouveau riche could be quite cute. These nobles were much more sarcastic and mean, often making things difficult for them, not to mention tips!
"Who is willing to use the remaining gold to buy food for me? There will be a tip for those who help!" Wang Xiaohai asked.
All the waiters raised their hands.
The hotel manager came over and said, "Sir, it's their working hours now. According to the rules, they can't leave the hotel. How about I go outside and ask the two people to come in to help?"
"Outside?" Wang Xiaohai frowned. "That's not so good. I still prefer bunny girls and maids to buy it for me. I'm not familiar with the ones outside. If a big guy who picks his toes spits in while delivering the food, I won't know. So forget it!" Wang Xiaohai stood up and distributed the remaining gold on the table to other staff members, such as the coal shovelers in front of the power plant, the water workers, and the maintenance workers.
Delly had no appetite anymore. She put down her knife and fork, wiped her mouth with a napkin, stood up and walked towards the door.
"I'm going out to eat and drink. You guys take your time to work." Wang Xiaohai said goodbye to the maids and followed them out.
