Chapter 485: Chapter 349: Illusory Bubble Shade (6K for Monthly Ticket!)_2

Qianqiu felt very unwell.

After all, when he worked as an assassin for his old employer, not only was each mission perilously dangerous and time-pressingly tight, but the key issue was the reward was extremely low! After so many years of work, all he had managed was to pay off his loans for the "Hidden Assassin Cloak," "Hidden Assassin Armor," "Hand of Heaven’s Net," and "Soul Reaper Scythe"—he had very little savings.

Among the Six Senses, he was a poor man. In the circle of myths? Definitely the poorest of the poor.

However, even as a poor man among the powerful, he could still afford to host a dinner.

He was just astonished at how little work there was!

"Little? This is just basic work, isn’t it? We still have plenty of missions on our list that we can take on. Put in a bit of effort, and a monthly income of thirty thousand is not a dream."

So a monthly income of six thousand was just a safety net?

What kind of organization is Salamander really?

...

That night, under a moonlit and starry sky, Qianqiu, who had finished a day’s work (daydreaming), was having a banquet at the Culinary Heaven.

He went through an internal channel, which allowed him a 60 percent discount and the use of the number one VIP room. This was critical because, according to the official protector, currently only Yiluo Xi was the visible protector of Oasis. The others had to hide temporarily, keeping their power secret, so they could flip the table during a surprise attack.

There was some sense to this strategy.

Yet, here we were, four divine myth figures, practically invincible in an outer domain like Falling Star Pit—do we really need to be so... so strategic with our tactics?

On his first official day of contact with the other core members of the organization, Qianqiu’s worldview was somewhat shattered.

He ordered a meal, then sat in the private room flipping through the menu, which wasn’t cheap given that the place was a shopping mall (tourist attraction), with each dish prepared from carefully selected ingredients, many of which were cooked with high-grade materials at their core.

Upon inspection, Qianqiu understood why the restaurant dared to charge such high prices.

Expensive, but with reason.

In super Oases like the Seven Stars Alliance, Scarlet Lotus Empire, and Ancient Moon Dynasty, restaurants that provide high-grade ingredients are rare, as most of the time these ingredients are consumed internally.

His gaze swept over the menu prices.

With a generous wave of his hand, he indicated that he wanted everything on the menu.

"Food with high-grade ingredients is full of energy and is very filling. But after all, we are high-ranking Awakeners; we can definitely digest it."

Even if he couldn’t finish it all, it was better to order more.

There’s no way a mythic being would be frugal when hosting guests.

Besides, Qianqiu was hungry himself. Having traveled from Shattered Sea to Falling Star Pit, he had burned through far too much energy. While a mythic being can survive without food, eating is the easiest way to replenish and recover when one’s own consumption is too great.

He might end up finishing it all by himself.

That’s what Qianqiu thought.

He took Mumu and the others to the adjacent private room, let them order whatever they wanted and put it on his tab, then returned to the number one VIP room and began slowly waiting as he browsed the panel in his mind.

Time was gradually approaching dinner.

The Red-haired Empress Yiluo Xi was the first to arrive, followed by the golden-haired official protector, and then Xing Jing Lei, a well-built figure dressed in a loose martial arts uniform, walked in right on time.

"Serve the dishes!"

One by one, exquisitely prepared and aromatic dishes were presented.

Qianqiu used his utensils to pick up a piece of third-order beast meat and put it in his mouth, and his expression instantly changed.

That flavor...

Devilishly spicy as if a volcano were erupting inside his body, yet not painful; rather, it cleared away all discomfort, making every cell in his body seem to boil, compelling one to roar...

"That’s great!"

Qianqiu didn’t roar out loud.

He was a mythic being, after all. He certainly had the self-control. It was just that the flavor was much more intense than he had anticipated. He had never tasted anything so unique, and one piece of meat wasn’t enough to savor all its nuances.

He’d try another piece.

He reached out with his utensils toward the exquisite porcelain plate, but suddenly stopped mid-air, the entire person stunned.

Where’s the meat? Where did the large plate of high-grade beast meat go?

In the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Xing Jing Lei picking up the last piece, stuffing it into his mouth, and then reaching for another new dish.

Qianqiu: "???"

There weren’t many customers at Culinary Heaven, so the service was quick. Moreover, since it was the protectors’ dinner, they dared not delay.

Dishes were served swiftly, but they disappeared even faster.

Qianqiu almost forgot the wonderful taste that had erupted in his mouth as he watched his three colleagues demolish the food as if they were scything through fields.

Their manner resembled not eating but battling.

And it really was so.

As chunks of high-grade food went down their throats, a roaring like the sound of a furnace fired up inside Xing Jing Lei, eating while simultaneously cultivating.

Yiluo Xi glanced over, her wine-red hair nearly exploding.

How dare they cultivate! Even consuming a meal they rushed!

She eagerly grabbed food and controlled her digestion to quicken, taking advantage of her body’s incredible control. After practicing "Void Meditation," Yiluo Xi’s physical control had long surpassed her previous four-fold limit.

Her entire body was now in full operation!

But it seemed to be slow still, unable to match Xing Jing Lei, nor Citina, who had a lesser presence but was actually relishing her food.

Damn it! Damn it!

Influenced by the three of them, Qianqiu also began to pick up the pace with his utensils.

Is this the dining habit of us in Salamander?

Such intense competition even when eating... that word is "strive," Qianqiu found himself learning.

The first round of dishes was quickly devoured, and Qianqiu continued to order more, somewhat dissatisfied with the restaurant’s speed of serving. They decided to order super-large portions and specifically choose dishes with high energy content.
