Li Yao stared blankly for a long time before he recalled the promise he made to Si Jiaxue "yesterday". He looked at the time and discovered that it was already five in the afternoon. He had actually slept for an entire day and night.
No matter how powerful he was in the dream, in the real world, he was still a poor kid who was embarrassed. Just a moment ago, he had eaten several months worth of food in a single breath. 100,000 yuan was simply a huge sum of money to him. He wished he could immediately grab it in the palm of his hand.
Li Yao hastily typed a response on the virtual rune keyboard, "Where are you? In two hours, no, in one and a half hours, I will deliver it to you! "
He clicked "send". The characters condensed and transformed into a small virtual spirit paper crane. It flew to the bottom right corner of the hologram and disappeared.
After no less than three minutes, Si Jiaxue sent an address, "I am here. In one and a half hours, someone will be waiting for you at the entrance. You can just directly hand the item to him."
It seemed that her impression of Li Yao was really not good. She didn't even want to see his face.
Li Yao didn't mind. As long as there was money, it was fine. He replied with a "Okay" and closed the hologram. He took out Si Jiaxue's old model crystal processor. Kacha Kacha, he rubbed it a few times and began to repair it.
"Huh?"
When he used a screwdriver to remove the outer shell of the crystal processor, he immediately discovered that he was somewhat different.
Today, his condition was particularly good. His mind was particularly clear. Facing the complex and mysterious internal structure of the crystal processor, he only needed to take a few careful glances and he seemed to be able to see through its deepest structure.
Closing his eyes softly, the phantom of a translucent, old-fashioned crystal processor slowly floated in front of his eyes. Every tiny component was separated from the crystal processor and slowly hovered in midair, allowing him to see every detail of all the components clearly from every angle around him.
Li Yao had a kind of feeling. Even if it wasn't a simple job like replacing the heat sink, but rather a difficult job like repairing the core crystal tube, it seemed that he could still give it a try.
"It seems that peeping at the magical equipment that Ou Yezi refined for hundreds of years in his dream was not for nothing. Although I've forgotten all the details, my 'eyesight' has been greatly improved!"
In this way, the repair speed was much faster. Originally, he estimated that it would take at least an hour to complete the job, but it only took him thirty minutes to complete. Furthermore, he subconsciously changed the heat dissipation structure. Inside the crystal processor from more than a hundred years ago, he adopted a new type of heat dissipation structure that only appeared thirty years ago. He estimated that it would increase the heat dissipation efficiency of the crystal processor by 17%, and increase the restart speed under high temperatures by at least 9%.
"It's perfect. 100,000 yuan is really worth it. It's not expensive at all!"
Looking carefully at his work, Li Yao was very satisfied. He felt that this was the most outstanding performance he had ever made in his life.
Just as he was feeling complacent, a sour stench suddenly entered his nose. Only then did Li Yao realize that his body was sticky with sweat from his sleep. He lifted his wrist to look at the time. It wasn't too late yet, so he simply took a shower. After fiercely brushing his body from top to bottom, he changed into a new set of clothes. Only then did he comfortably leave the house.
The address that Si Jiaxue gave him was a buffet restaurant located in the Upper East District. The Upper East District was a wealthy district where influential officials gathered. In the past, Li Yao very rarely came here. Occasionally, he would pass by, and he would always feel a trace of inferiority. He would feel that he was like a beggar who had barged into the luxurious banquet of the upper class.
But today, he held his head high, stuck out his chest, folded his stomach, and raised his nose to the sky. He walked three meters in one step, as if there was no one around. He was in high spirits!
Although his wrinkled coat had already been washed until it was white, although there were still patches on his knees, although there was a pair of "open mouth smile" shoes on his feet, with a single glance, one could tell that he was a poor kid who didn't know what his next meal would be.
His expression was like an overbearing sect leader who carried gold bricks at his waist and was preparing to sign a multi-billion dollar contract.
This was the imperceptible influence of countless high level cultivators in his dream of grandeur. It was a pure feeling of superiority in his state of mind. It had nothing to do with strength, identity, or status.
It was like a person who had lived with thousands of dinosaurs for dozens of years. When he saw a tiger, he would only think of it as a fat cat.
The Upper East District was located in the center of Floating Spear City. There were a total of seven large artificial lakes surrounding it, faintly separating this district from the surrounding areas. The address that Si Jiaxue gave was on the side of one of the artificial lakes, "Hidden Winter Lake". It was a buffet restaurant called "Little Border of Hidden Lake".
This restaurant was surrounded by a bamboo forest. It also relied on the natural environment to set up a weather glyph array, causing snow to fall all year round within a hundred meter radius.
The snow was not heavy, but it added a trace of ethereal zen to the restaurant.
This place could not be considered as the highest grade luxurious restaurant in Floating Spear City. The prices were relatively cheap, and the environment was pretty good. It was very stylish. As far as the rich kids who had yet to grasp the financial power and relied on their parents to give them pocket money were concerned, this place was quite suitable for their status.
At the entrance of Little Border of Hidden Lake stood a beautiful waitress wearing a plain skirt and holding a paper fan in her hand. She saw Li Yao swagger in. His clothes and his imposing manner were completely opposite. She looked really awkward. Unexpectedly, she was stunned for a long time before she stepped forward and gave a shallow salute. "Hello, may I ask if you are student Li Yao from Chixiao No. 2 High School?"
"That's right. It was Si Jiaxue who told you to wait. The item is here. Do you want to try it out?" Li Yao did not speak any nonsense and handed over the crystal processor.
The beautiful waitress in the ancient costume smiled and said, "No need. Miss Si said that if there really was a problem, she would naturally go find student Li Yao again. As for now, please take care of this card."
Slightly bending her waist, the beautiful waitress in the ancient costume respectfully handed over a translucent frosted card full of runes with both hands.
This was an anonymous gold transfer card. The runes on the card could be inputted into the crystal processor and the money stored inside could be transferred to the account. It could also be used to swipe the card at most stores. It was very convenient.
Li Yao took the gold transfer card and lightly touched the upper left corner of the card with a light purple rune wrapped in silver threads. The gold transfer card gently trembled and a string of numbers appeared on the card's surface — 100000.
Si Jiaxue even helped him round it up. Li Yao's eyes lit up. He whistled with some surprise. "Beauty, many thanks. Oh right, help me thank Si Jiaxue while you're at it. Tell her that if she has any business in the future, remember to take care of me. I will give her a discount!"
Carefully stuffing the gold transfer card into his pocket, Li Yao giggled as he turned around and left. He planned to go to the supermarket in the commoner district and buy a few hundred cans of Giant Beasts of Starry Skies meat to bring home. He would also make some sauced beef pancakes and eat a delicious midnight snack.
At this moment, from the Little Border of Hidden Lake came a "chi la" sound. It was the sound of fresh, tender, and juicy veal being slapped on a scalding iron plate.
A faint meaty aroma mixed with several dozen types of rare spices drifted out along with the intoxicating breeze.
Li Yao's stomach made a "gulp" sound as if it was being pulled by an invisible rope. He abruptly stopped his footsteps.
"Dammit, I'm hungry again so quickly!"
He had a battle of wits and courage with Ou Yezi in the dream of grandeur. From his spirit to his physical strength, the consumption was too great. It was simply overdrafting his life force. It was simply not something that several cans of Giant Beasts of Starry Skies meat could make up for. It would have been better if he didn't smell it. Once he smelled the meaty aroma, he simply returned to his previous state of drug addiction. His stomach turned into a bottomless pit. His limbs and bones ignited with raging flames of hunger. His face was distorted to the extreme and he almost drooled.
Li Yao couldn't help but step back and barge into the building.
His arrogance was like that of a hungry tiger, frightening the beautiful waitress in ancient clothing. The little girl subconsciously blocked in front of him.
"Hmm?"
Li Yao narrowed his eyes. His molars rubbed together, making "ka ka" sounds. He was like a velociraptor that ate grass for three days.
The little girl simply wanted to cry. She thought to herself, "Where did this savage come from? It looks like he wants to swallow me."
She involuntarily retreated two steps and composed herself. She forced a smile and said, "This, this customer, you came at the right time. Today, our Little Border of Hidden Lake is celebrating. Everything is 15% off and service fees are waived. The buffet dinner is only 1280 yuan per person. We also throw in a thirty year old Nu'er Hong. These were all personally buried at the bottom of Hidden Winter Lake by our boss."
The waiters of the restaurants and wineries in the wealthy district had all received special training. Their accomplishments were extremely high. Naturally, they wouldn't do something as stupid as judging people by their appearance and not allowing the poor to spend money.
Especially in the cultivation world, there were some psychologically twisted eccentrics who liked to wear fake clothes and pretend to be pigs to eat tigers. If you had eyes but couldn't see and offended these people, not only would you be shut down at any time, all of your employees would have to go to the hospital's intensive care unit on unpaid leave.
Therefore, in the wealthy district, as long as you didn't only wear briefs to spend money, even the most luxurious places would treat all customers the same.
The beautiful waitress in ancient clothing also didn't know what kind of god Li Yao was. She only very tactfully explained the level of spending before moving to the side.
"1280 yuan?"
Li Yao's eyes stared blankly. This number instantly transformed into a valley full of Giant of Starry Sky canned meat. His only thought was to turn around and leave.
However, his body was more honest than his thoughts. The aroma of the barbecued meat seemed to transform into an extremely plump beauty in front of Li Yao. She licked her red lips, winked at him, and smiled sweetly.
It was as if he had swallowed a large walnut. His Adam's apple kept bobbing up and down. His heart was at war, extremely tangled.
After a stalemate … for half a second, his psychological defense completely collapsed. Li Yao's eyes burned with fire. Hunger lines appeared on his face. He loosened his belt. Like a fierce tiger coming down the mountain, like a hungry dog coming out of its cage, he came roaring in.
"Isn't it just 1280 yuan? I just got a hundred thousand yuan. How can I go broke eating this meal? I won't make it past today! "
The design of the interior of Little Realm of Hidden Lake was very clever. The dining area was divided into a dozen private areas by long corridors, lanterns, and gardens. Long tables filled with food were spread throughout each area, ensuring that the guests could eat in a relatively independent environment.
As for the richness of the various delicacies, let's put it this way. After arriving here, Li Yao felt that his biology class was simply taught by a martial arts teacher. Not only did he not know the names of most of the delicacies, he had never even seen them before!
After finding a relatively quiet corridor, Li Yao grabbed a roasted lamb leg that weighed over 20 kilograms. Sticking to the skin, bone, blood, and meat, he fiercely bit into it.
