Zuo Ling felt that the leveling up was still too slow, so she took a piece of yellow energy crystal to absorb it.
She regretted it from the very beginning. The enormous energy surged wildly left and right, almost severing her meridians. She wanted to stop but couldn't.
No, if this continues, I'm going to die here.
Zuo Ling gritted her teeth, her face contorted with rage, the veins on her neck bulging as if about to burst, and her bloodshot eyes becoming exceptionally terrifying.
I was careless. I just upgraded, my body's endurance is poor, and my meridians are not resilient enough.
She forgot that this wasn't her previous life. In her previous life, she absorbed some cyan and orange crystals before absorbing the yellow energy crystal.
He gritted his teeth and endured the pain, his veins bulging, trying to suppress the rate at which energy entered, but his body still felt like it was being gnawed by thousands of ants.
It felt like being tortured to the point of death and rebirth, every minute and every second felt like enduring the agony of being slowly sliced to death.
After absorbing the last bit of energy, Zuo Ling could no longer hold on and collapsed onto the bed, taking a long time to recover.
Stains, sweat stains, and specks of blood made the sheets filthy.
After cleaning herself up, Zuo Ling called the waiter to change the sheets and blankets.
The waitress, a woman in her forties, looked at the scattered red marks on the bed with surprise.
Menstrual period? Virgin blood? Doesn't seem like it! She glanced at the trash can subconsciously, but didn't see a man come in.
He asked with concern, "Young lady, where are you hurt?"
Zuo Ling tried to cover it up: "I'm sorry, I got a nosebleed on the bed."
The older woman suddenly realized: "It's okay, it's okay. Blood debts are hard to wash away, and the shop will deduct fees."
"Please put it on the room fee; I'll pay it all at once."
The eldest sister was quick and efficient, and soon changed into a new set.
After seeing her eldest sister off, Zuo Ling explored the spatial dimension.
The space has been expanded to 200 square meters, and not only that, there is also some soft light.
Although weak, at least there was light.
There is another piece of land, less than one square meter in size, with barren, slightly yellowish soil that feels sandy.
Blue crystals represent water, orange represents earth, and yellow represents light.
She already knew these things when she absorbed the crystals in her previous life.
Space can maintain a constant temperature and time, but the land cannot.
Unfortunately, due to insufficient light, she never managed to grow any crops in her previous life.
It's past four in the afternoon.
It took nearly 8 hours to absorb a single yellow crystal, and that was the lowest grade among the 8 yellow energy crystals.
Zuo Ling was very satisfied with the changes in the space.
My stomach was rumbling; I was terribly hungry and felt somewhat weak.
With time no longer so tight, Zuo Ling was in the mood to have a good meal.
There's a restaurant called Big Apple nearby; it's cheap and delicious, and it's an affordable restaurant that even ordinary people in Kyoto can afford.
I quickly selected more than ten dishes I liked on the tablet computer.
Salt and pepper pork ribs, braised pork belly, sweet and sour carp, boiled pork, Mapo tofu, chicken stew with mushrooms, garlic shrimp, braised pork belly with preserved mustard greens, stir-fried beef with green peppers, stir-fried asparagus and lily bulbs, spicy diced chicken, cold jellyfish salad, five-spice dried tofu, and tomato dumpling soup.
"11 servings of each item, one to eat here, and the rest to go. Two more servings of rice, and we'll add more if needed."
The waiter was a very energetic young man who politely asked:
"Madam, how many of you are there?"
Zuo Ling came alone, without anyone accompanying her, and ordered so many dishes, which made people curious.
"One."
One? The waiter opened his mouth, "So much!"
A kind reminder: "Our portions are quite large; you might not be able to finish it all by yourself."
"I can finish it, I have a big appetite."
With each upgrade, there was a severe need to replenish energy. Zuo Ling felt like she could eat a whole cow, and this was nothing compared to what she had just experienced.
"Please wait a moment."
Having fulfilled their obligation to remind, the waiter said no more.
The dishes were served one after another.
Zuo Ling was like a starving ghost reincarnated, finishing off one plate after another, leaving the waiter so astonished his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
The surrounding diners also noticed and cast surprised glances.
The people of Kyoto are generally well-mannered; though surprised, they at most glanced at the person, and few pointed or gossiped.
Zuo Ling ignored everyone's stares and buried herself in her food.
Thirteen dishes, a soup, and three large bowls of rice—I patted my belly, still feeling unsatisfied, and thought I could eat a little more.
After thinking about it, I decided to leave. It's already bad enough for people to be shocked.
The waiter was very attentive and helped her put the packed food in her car.
He said with great sincerity, "Welcome to visit again, ma'am."
They each manage several tables, and in addition to their basic salary, they receive a commission based on the revenue.
Zuo Ling alone consumed the equivalent of 11 tables' worth of food.
The key is that it doesn't take up table space.
It's best to have customers like this come back more often.
The lunchboxes are stored in a space with a constant temperature and timer. Whether they are cooled or heated depends on their condition when they are stored, and you don't have to worry about flavors mixing.
After her consciousness had circled around in space several times, Zuo Ling's smile deepened.
After eating and drinking her fill, Zuo Ling didn't want to go back to the hotel right away.
I remember there was a Tao Heung pastry shop up ahead. Tao Heung's pastries were sweet but not greasy, and she really liked them.
If you come across this, buy some so you don't have to go through a detour to order later.
It was rush hour, and the store was packed with people. The staff were incredibly busy, so Zuo Ling's timing was terrible.
Take your time browsing, and buy when there are fewer people around.
Daoxiang is famous for its pastries, but also makes cooked food.
Garlic sausage, pork rib sausage, pan-fried ribbonfish, spicy rabbit cubes, and spring chicken are all good choices.
We need 10 catties each of garlic sausage, pork rib sausage, pan-fried ribbonfish, and spicy rabbit cubes, and 10 young chickens.
After loading the cooked food into the car and putting it into the storage compartment, I returned to the shop, and it was much quieter.
When Zuo Ling returned, the pastry vendor was very welcoming.
A good salesperson needs to have a keen eye.
Zuo Ling bought quite a lot earlier; she's not short of money, so we can't neglect her.
