He described it vividly. To Leng Leng, it was so detailed that it sounded like the truth. Little did she know that Lin Yi was talking about his personal experience. From the time he first entered the Welcoming Pavilion to the Newcomer's Tournament, he told her everything. The only difference was that he changed the names of the North Island, Welcoming Pavilion, and so on.
Not only that, Lin Yi had also changed his cultivation level. He changed it to the so-called 'Martial Artist', 'Martial Master', 'Martial General', 'Martial King', 'Martial Honor' and so on. Otherwise, if he were to reveal his original cultivation level, Leng Leng would definitely know about it on the spot. That would be like exposing the window paper in advance. Lin Yi had no such intention.
What Lin Yi did not know was that the strength level that he made up casually was later remembered by someone who had an ulterior motive. It even turned into a set of universal martial arts cultivation levels after a few years …
Leng Leng was his only listener. She did not think much of it at first, but the more she listened, the more she was engrossed in it. In the end, she could not help but interrupt and ask, "The energy jade that you mentioned, is it the jade that you found today?"
"That's right. You've found out about it. Back then, there were a lot of these things on the Immortal Island. If all my assets were to be piled up with energy jade, I guess it would be at least a small hill." Lin Yi chuckled.
In fact, it was more than a small hill. His current financial resources were already comparable to a large force. After all, he could casually refine some high-grade pills and sell them at a sky-high price. This was the advantage of being a high-level alchemist. They lacked everything but spiritual jade.
"You're bragging." Leng Leng suddenly smiled, but she still said, "Although the story you told is quite interesting, you better not tease me. You must have heard these stories from some storyteller. I know there are many storytellers in the secular world." Leng Leng smiled.
Lin Yi smiled as he listened. This cold girl had unknowingly spilled the beans again. In fact, he deliberately said these things not just to kill time, but to let the other party gradually understand and accept him. This way, at least there would be a gradual process, and she would not be unable to accept it all at once.
However, Coold's reaction made Lin Yi even more certain of one thing, and that was that these Heavenly Dao experts who came to the Third Plane had no knowledge of Heaven Stage Island at all. It was just that he could not confirm whether they did not know about the existence of Heaven Stage Island at all, or whether they were like the secular world, although the legend of Heaven Stage Island had spread, they could not reach it.
The two of them chatted as they ate. When they were almost done, Lin Yi went to the counter to pay the bill.
"Thank you, twelve thousand eight hundred and thirty-five. Let's forget about the small change, twelve thousand eight hundred." The lady boss's charm was still there, but the boss standing next to her was a big and fierce man. At first glance, he didn't look like a businessman at all. Instead, he looked more like a gangster who mingled in the underworld.
"12,800 yuan?" Lin Yi was stunned when he heard it. Although he did not count the dishes carefully when he ordered, he roughly estimated that this meal would cost at most three to four hundred yuan. How could it be 12,800 yuan?
"Yes, this is the menu you ordered, sir. There is a calculator here. If you don't believe me, you can calculate it yourself. Our business has always been fair to the old and young, and we never cheat people." The lady boss said with a smile.
Lin Yi glanced at her. If he really wanted to calculate this, he did not need a calculator at all. He just needed to calculate it in his mind. He said faintly, "396 yuan. Do you need me to calculate it step by step for you?"
"No, I think you have misunderstood, sir. Please look at the price list carefully again, and look at the sentence marked at the bottom." The lady boss still had a warm smile on her face.
"The above seafood is priced individually?" Lin Yi was slightly stunned. Normally, it was priced by the portion. How could it be priced individually? "That's right.
"That's it. Sir, look at this Mango Snail you ordered. It's priced at ninety-eight, and there are sixty of them in a plate, so that's five thousand eight hundred and eight. And this top-grade Immortal Prawn is priced at seventy-two, and there are also sixty of them in a plate, so that's four thousand three hundred and two. Just these two dishes alone are already ten thousand two hundred. Including the other dishes, twelve thousand eight hundred should be considered fair and reasonable, right?" The Lady Boss smiled amiably, and actually gave people a feeling of sincerity.
"You call this fair and reasonable?" Leng Leng was about to lose her temper. Although she did not understand these and did not have a clear concept of the currency in the secular world, she knew that she was cheated when she heard Lin Yi's words. It was originally only 396 yuan, but it suddenly became 12,800 yuan. How could he do business like this?
Previously, she thought that this seafood restaurant had a unique taste and had a good impression of it. Now, it suddenly turned into a bellyful of anger. How was this a seafood restaurant? It was clearly a scam shop!
"Miss, please be polite with your words. The prices of this restaurant are clearly written on the price list. You must have seen it before you ordered the dishes. Since you have ordered these dishes, you naturally have to pay the corresponding amount. How is it not fair and reasonable?" The lady boss's face turned cold.
"Hey, you two are not planning to dine and dash, are you? Brothers, watch out for me!" The fierce-looking boss next to them immediately shouted and threatened. A few punks at the door chuckled and responded a few times. Each of them picked up a bench and stared at Lin Yi and Leng Leng maliciously.
Leng Leng was about to make a move immediately. Of course, she would not pay attention to a few punks in the secular world. However, Lin Yi stopped her calmly. He looked at the lady boss indifferently and said, "Alright, then 12,800 yuan it is. I can still afford this amount of money."
As Lin Yi spoke, he took out a thick stack of cash to pay the bill. The boss and the lady boss looked at each other and their eyes suddenly lit up. They smiled happily and said, "That's more like it. I can tell that you're a local tycoon at first glance. How can you not take out such a small amount of money?"
Although they said so, they were laughing in their hearts that this kid was really an idiot who was puffing himself up to his own cost. In order not to make a fool of himself in front of his female companion, he could only bite the bullet and do as he was told even though he knew he would be ripped off. This time, he made the right choice.
The seafood restaurant opened by the couple was actually not a scam shop. They usually did business in an honest manner. Only when they encountered outsiders like Lin Yi who had a foreign accent and brought along a female companion would they rip him off.
