Chapter 305: 303

After Xun Qing had given his instructions, he didn’t let everyone stay at the base for long. Instead, he hurried them onto a plane heading to the Association headquarters in Shengjing City.

On the plane, Wen Wen moved closer to Chu Wei, intending to chat about the examination. He wasn’t genuinely curious about anything; he merely wanted to chat, a common impulse after finishing an exam.

He gave Chu Wei a solid pat on the shoulder but before he could speak, he saw Chu Wei’s lips tremble and push Wen Wen’s hand away.

"What’s wrong with you?" Wen Wen asked, puzzled.

Chu Wei evaded the question with a normal expression, "It’s nothing, I just feel a bit unwell."

Unwell...

Wen Wen’s nostrils twitched slightly, having enhanced his sense of smell with Yan Biqing’s physique, he detected a hint of blood on Chu Wei’s shoulder and his chest and abdomen...

With Chu Wei’s capabilities, he shouldn’t have any injuries on him. This guy could recover in minutes even with blood spurting from his head. What kind of injury would remain until now?

’Perhaps... he isn’t completely The Undead. He might still get hurt under certain conditions, though I don’t know what those conditions are.’

These thoughts flashed through Wen Wen’s mind in less than a second, and then he acted as if he suspected nothing, sitting beside Chu Wei, laughing and chatting about some aspects of the exam.

When dealing with others, Wen Wen inevitably thought about their weaknesses, which had almost become an instinct for him.

After a while, Wen Wen said, "After arriving at the Association, let’s grab a hearty meal, my treat."

Chu Wei’s eyes flickered, then he licked his lips, "Since you are treating, let’s go to Extreme Flavor Tower!"

Extreme Flavor Tower...

Wen Wen felt a slight twinge in his teeth, but still agreed.

The place Chu Wei mentioned, Extreme Flavor Tower, is a high-end restaurant in the center of the Association that only accepts Demon Hunting Coins.

It is said that the chef is a peculiar being known as a ’Gourmet Creature,’ who can turn decay into magic, crafting any ingredient into astonishingly delicious dishes.

Moreover, the ingredients there are not ordinary; wild abalone could only serve as a condiment, at least Demon Yao type of abalone would be used as a main ingredient.

Previously, while waiting for the examination, Chu Wei and Wen Wen had passed by this restaurant, but had not gone in after hearing that it only accepted Demon Hunting Coins.

Now that he had passed the exam and acquired a large number of Demon Hunting Coins, Wen Wen actually wanted to try and taste what it was like.

He would also bring Three Cubs along, to broaden its horizons, so it wouldn’t always act like a country bumpkin snake trying to eat anything, as if its owner was mistreating it.

At this moment, Wen Wen had completely forgotten the scene where he fed Three Cubs his toenails...

After the plane landed, having rested for less than an hour, Wen Wen arrived at Extreme Flavor Tower.

By then, two people had already been waiting there for quite some time.

One was naturally Chu Wei, and the other was Miao Miaomiao, who kept sniffing the scents coming from the restaurant.

Yes, Wen Wen had also invited Miao Miaomiao, the reason being that she had helped him hunt a Monster in the Underground Palace.

But Wen Wen’s real thought was, as the boss enjoying himself, he should also take the new employee to gain some experience, much like the motive behind bringing Three Cubs.

And as for Miao Miaomiao, who found even pickled vegetables and tea eggs delicious due to her poverty, she had eagerly agreed upon hearing that Wen Wen was treating her to a meal at Extreme Flavor Tower.

She wanted to see just how much better this highly praised restaurant was compared to pickled vegetables and tea eggs!

As soon as Wen Wen reached the doorway of the restaurant, he smelled a captivating sweet aroma that seemed to clutch at his heart.

After greeting Chu Wei, both of them entered Extreme Flavor Tower in unison.

Guided by the waiter, the three of them entered a private room. The waiters of this restaurant were quite unique, being large cats in tuxedos that stood and walked upright, barely shorter than a human.

The one leading Wen Wen and the others was a calico cat.

During the ordering process, Miao Miaomiao couldn’t wait to ask about the origins of these Cat People, and the calico waiter, taking a liking to Miao Miaomiao with her cat ears and tail, didn’t hide anything from her.

From their conversation, Wen Wen learned that the ancestors of these Cat People had once been servants to a powerful Monster from the Inner World that had descended into the real world.

After the Monster was slain, this servant wandered into the deep mountains and took a fancy to a large feline that roamed the forest, thus giving rise to a secluded race of Cat People hidden in the mountains.

As for what that servant did to that poor big cat, let’s leave that unsaid for now.

But the ingrained instinct of being a servant was deeply embedded in the bones of these Cat People. So, a hundred years ago, they came out of the deep mountains to serve the powerful superpower users...

While Miao Miaomiao chatted idly with the Cat People, Chu Wei sneaked up beside Wen Wen and quietly asked, "How did you get to know such a beautiful girl? Does she have any sisters? Introduce one to me too."

Wen Wen rolled his eyes at Chu Wei and said, "No need for introductions, just go for her. Her IQ is about the same as yours, so I brought her over for you two to meet. You’re well-matched..."

After ordering, there was a wait. The three began to play poker, adopting the three-person method popular among superpower users, called Monster Hunt.

A Monster, two Demon Hunters. The Monster gets three extra cards, and whoever finishes their hand first wins...

However, during this process, Wen Wen had no gaming experience because Chu Wei would rather lose himself just to let Miao Miaomiao win.

Unfortunately, his dog-like display of affection meant nothing to Miao Miaomiao, who preferred furry creatures over humans.

After a while, the dishes finally began to arrive, and Wen Wen was relieved to stop playing the strange poker game. Each dish was covered with a cloche, unknown what they held beneath.

"I spent over a thousand Demon Hunting Coins on this meal, if it’s not good, I’m kidnapping you to settle the debt," Wen Wen said darkly to the Cat Person waiter.

The Cat Person waiter just smiled beautifully. She had often encountered such situations; this place attracted all kinds of weird customers. Just the other day, someone who yelled for cat meat was kicked out of the restaurant.

Then, she proudly continued placing the dishes on the table. Once all the dishes were served, the Cat Person waiter lifted each cloche one by one, and Wen Wen meekly retracted his previous remark.

To attempt describing their color, aroma, and taste would be an insult to these dishes, which quite literally glowed!

Ascending Dragon Dumplings, Comet Fried Rice, Ice-Split Fresh Snapper Mountain, Four Divine Beasts Seafood Treasure Buns... every dish was as exquisite as a piece of art!

This table of food costing over a thousand Demon Hunting Coins was indeed a steal.

Miao Miaomiao couldn’t wait to pick up an Ascending Dragon Dumpling and pop it into her mouth. As she gently chewed, her body subtly twisted. Her clothes puffed up, seemingly about to burst open.

Wen Wen, watching with wide eyes, muttered, "So it’s true that food can taste so good it makes your clothes explode..."

Unfortunately, the culinary skills of Extreme Flavor Tower were not quite up to par, as Miao Miaomiao’s clothes merely puffed up slightly before deflating again, which made Wen Wen and Chu Wei both look disappointed.

Miao Miaomiao opened her eyes, which were slightly moist.

If she couldn’t enjoy such good food in the future, she’d have to settle for drowning her sorrows in bottles of Six-Grain Liquor.

Seeing Miao Miaomiao’s expression, Wen Wen and Chu Wei also began eating. Although Wen Wen’s reaction wasn’t as dramatic as Miao Miaomiao’s, he too widened his eyes.

The food indeed slightly enhanced his physical condition!

If not for the small degree of enhancement, Wen Wen would even consider eating here every day. No wonder the restaurant only accepted Demon Hunting Coins for meals!

During the meal, Wen Wen didn’t forget the Three Cubs lurking under the table, tossing some scraps down for them.

After eating, the Three Cubs wound around Wen Wen’s legs like they were drunk, their snakehead occasionally wobbling at the base of Wen Wen’s legs, captivating the Cat Person waiter, who couldn’t look away no matter what.
