Chapter 3924 Two Ways to Eat a Fish (Part 1)
Although there weren't many customers dining in the restaurant, there were still a few—when the waiters pushed in five food carts in a row, these gourmets couldn't help but show surprise.
The restaurant's dishes are all very expensive. Unless you're a true gourmet or have certain ingredients that are beneficial to you, the immortal beings who just had a wave of their lives mercilessly harvested at the auction are really reluctant to come here for the time being.
"Who is this person, to be so arrogant?"
"I don't know, I don't recall seeing anyone like that at the auction..."
"An immortal female warrior?"
"Shh, be careful. Someone who can order so much food must have a complicated background."
……
At the same time, Miss Shirley was also a little stunned. The number of dishes was more than she expected. Shouldn't the menu of such a high-end restaurant usually only have one or two dishes printed on a single page?
I didn't see that the menu was particularly thick.
“Miss Shirley, this is part of the menu you ordered. Now let me introduce these dishes to you.” Theresa returned again, still very respectful.
Sheryl shook her head, indicating that she didn't need to.
Theresa nodded, then waved, summoning a very pretty waitress over.
"What's going on?" Sheryl asked, somewhat surprised. "Did I order any drinks?"
The waitress who had been summoned was holding a bottle of exquisitely packaged wine in her hands... Even with Shirley's experience of attending countless banquets, she couldn't recognize the label on the bottle for a moment.
“It’s like this.” Theresa personally took the bottle from him. “Miss Shirley, in recognition of your support of our restaurant, this bottle of wine is a gift for you to enjoy with your meal.”
Sherry nodded, not paying any attention.
With a "pop," the bottle cap was pulled off, and then a dreamlike bubble spread out along with the aroma of the wine, enveloping Sherry's table as if in a dream.
The fragrance alone was enough to intoxicate one… At this moment, even with Sherry's experience, she couldn't help but feel amazed, and even felt her saliva secreting rapidly.
"Does this wine... have a name?"
“【A serendipitous encounter】.” Theresa smiled slightly. “Miss Shirley, please enjoy your meal.”
It has to be said that, with the magic of the [Adventure] combined with Teresa's impeccable movements, it was a feast for the eyes... Miss Sheryl suddenly felt that this hotel really had something special.
She didn't have much of a appetite to begin with, but at this moment she was still conquered by the fine wine and food in front of her... Once her taste buds and appetite were awakened, it was like a river bursting its banks, unstoppable.
The moment the first sip of [Adventure] touched her lips, the alternating sensations of warm and cold air instantly spread throughout Sheryl's body—she almost screamed, and it felt as if her clothes were about to burst off.
"Ah...this feeling..."
"It's like being adrift in a summer ocean, surrounded by countless rainbow jellyfish, their tiny tentacles stimulating every sensitive spot on your body with just the right amount of pressure, sending shivers down your spine..."
"There is such an exquisite flavor in this world..."
"My soul, my body, my..."
"I feel...I feel like it's already...it's about to..."
call--! ! !
Before she knew it, the cup of "Adventure" was empty. Miss Sheryl was almost collapsed, and could only sit up to barely keep herself steady.
Moist, warm breath escaped slowly from her lips, and the dreamlike, illusory bubbles did not disappear... Miss Sheryl's gaze appeared hazy and watery.
At this moment, she even forgot why she had come in in the first place...
"drink!!!"
Miss Shirley suddenly shouted, grabbed the entire bottle of [Adventure] with great flair, stood up, put one foot on the chair, and tilted her head back to blow it away.
This immediately drew surprised glances from some diners who hadn't wanted to cause any trouble... This seemingly wealthy woman was actually a female alcoholic?
……
"...Lord Mo, regarding the recent elimination of the [Designer System], the Governor's Office is willing to provide you with some initial design fees."
The group had been discussing the collaborative development of the Layer World for some time inside the dining table separated by the screen.
Inviting Miss Sherry was merely an opportunity for these people—the main purpose was to fulfill the request of the red-haired, black-eyed Lord Mo.
Once this requirement was met, Ms. Sherry seemed to become dispensable... In any case, Miss Xizi couldn't participate in any conversations and could only play a very standard "decorative" role.
I've heard that when many of the company's female artists go out, this is usually the case... Xizi finally got to experience it firsthand.
She roughly understood what Young Master Ge Fan and the others were discussing, but she didn't understand the specifics.
In short, just accept your role as a "decorative vase"... It seems tonight is just an ordinary dinner party, nothing unexpected will happen. Once it's over and I get back to my accommodation, everything will be fine.
—I think I can keep my job, right?
—But…it’s really boring, isn’t it?
"Young Master Ge Fan, please excuse me for a moment, I need to touch up my makeup," Miss Xizi suddenly said softly.
She suddenly lost much interest in this governor's son who was so focused on his career—since he had given all his passion to his career, he naturally wouldn't spare any for anyone else.
“Yes, Miss Sheryl.” Young Master Ge Fan said with great poise, “Did you enjoy the dishes tonight?”
"It's delicious, I really like it." Miss Xizi stood up gracefully, bowed slightly to everyone, and then walked out.
As soon as she stepped out from behind the partition screen, Miss Xizi's eyes widened in surprise!
"Cheers! Cheers! Drink up... Hehehe..."
Not far ahead, about two tables away, a woman wearing a baseball cap, black sunglasses, and a chair was... going crazy!
Miss Xizi trembled violently, as if she had been struck by a divine weathering technique, and was instantly transformed into a statue that had been weathered for ten thousand years.
—Oh no, I'm doomed. I feel like something terrible is going to happen... Am I going to lose my job?!
Without a second thought, driven entirely by instinct, Miss Xizi suddenly rushed toward the boisterous female guest. Before the woman could speak, she covered her mouth with one hand and wrapped her arm around her waist, smoothly hoisting her onto her shoulder.
Then I rushed to the restroom as fast as I could from the restaurant!
The waitresses nearby clearly saw it, but they made no attempt to stop it... they just went about their business.
As for the diners who had been watching the boisterous female drinker, they didn't bother with it since the waitresses didn't react.
"Did something happen outside just now?"
Inside the screen partition, the god-king Odin suddenly frowned and glanced outside in confusion... but he couldn't see much.
The restaurant is also a restricted area, so don't try to sense it with your mind.
A [Radiant Moon] level expert standing nearby said calmly, "What could possibly happen? In this hotel... no one would be so blind as to cause trouble for no reason, right?"
“Hmm…” God-King Odin nodded, acknowledging the idea.
The last person to cause trouble was—oh, the last person to cause trouble was apparently himself…his own subordinate!
"I'm telling you, you're only providing a tiny amount of basic units, yet you want to take away several percent of my development rights? Aren't you dreaming?" Lord Mo suddenly sneered. "I only held my temper because Miss Sherry was here. If this cooperation is so insincere, I'm going to flip the table!"
—That damned crow!
Odin cursed inwardly... Everyone present had the design rights to the layer worlds, which they were to develop and invest in. Besides, bidding for the layer worlds was already a staggering expense, and now they had to contribute a portion of that to support them. This was all money they had squeezed out!
Didn't you see that even the governor's son is scrimping and saving to sit in the main hall? They can't even afford a private room!
"Lord Mo, please calm down. The allocation issue can still be discussed." Young Master Ge Fan smiled slightly and said, "If this plan doesn't work, I have a second plan..."
Small groups continue to stick together for warmth.
……
……
"Miss!! Wake up!! It's me, Xizi!!!"
Inside the restroom stall in the restaurant, Miss Xizi, who had finally managed to carry the real Miss Sheryl in with great difficulty, was about to cry.
"You know you can't drink alcohol, and you've always been very careful about it! How come you're suddenly drinking, especially in a place like this!"
Miss Xizi looked annoyed as she tried to snatch the bottle from Shirley's hand—thankfully, she had spotted Miss Shirley in time. If she had been a little slower and Young Master Ge Fan and the others had found out… she would probably have had to sell herself to the company and then be used by them to shoot some low-budget, R-rated films in a small workshop!
"Who are you? Why are you stealing my wine..."
Sheryl suddenly lunged forward to snatch it.
"Miss, stop messing around!! Someone's going to die!" Miss Xizi exclaimed in terror, "If you ruin my makeup, it'll be obvious... my nipple covers are going to fall off!!"
"yue..."
"!!!!!!!!!!" Miss Xizi screamed, "What did you drink that made you so strong? To this extent... God, even if I'm your assistant, you've gone too far!!"
At that moment, the resentful spirit of the beast awakened instantly. Miss Xizi grabbed Sherry by the collar and pulled her up, slapping her twice without saying a word!
Snapped! Snapped! !
Will I regret it after I play?
absolutely not!
It felt so good after I finished!
No way! No way! Surely no one has never fantasized about slapping their unscrupulous boss twice across the face?!
Sherry, who had been slapped twice, suddenly looked somewhat dazed. She stared coldly at the person in front of her... which made Miss Xizi feel uneasy.
"you……"
"I……"
"So it was... a mirror..."
With a thud, Miss Sheryl suddenly collapsed, lying in a very unseemly position in the relatively cramped toilet stall.
Miss Xizi sighed helplessly... There was nothing she could do. In this situation, she couldn't just leave on her own, but Miss Shirley couldn't be left unattended either.
Should we call the hotel staff for help?
What if something is discovered and the matter is exposed?
"There's no other way, I'm sorry, but I have to do it this time... Anyway, Miss, you always black out when you're drunk..." Miss Xizi gritted her teeth, took off Sherry's coat, tied her hands behind her back, and then took off her socks and stuffed them into her mouth!
Fearing that Sheryl would push the socks out with her tongue, Xizi simply took out Sheryl's belt and wrapped it around her face to hold it in place!
"Since you won't wake up anytime soon, just stay here for now... I'll come back later when I have the chance."
Miss Xizi took a deep breath, tidied her appearance... After thinking for a moment, she kicked Miss Shirley twice before locking the lattice door.
Then, trembling with fear, they walked back.
As she passed a waitress, Miss Xizi calmly said, "The lady who went in with me is actually my friend. She has a bit of an upset stomach... so she might be staying a little longer. I hope you won't disturb her! I'll come back before I leave."
"The hotel has a professional medical team. Should we call them for that lady?"
"...No need! Her hobby is using the toilet! Just don't disturb her! Remember, don't disturb her!"
"Okay." The waitress thought for a moment and said, "That customer ordered a lot of dishes but they haven't been served yet, this..."
Miss Xizi thought for a moment and asked, "Can I return it?"
The waitress said apologetically, "I'm sorry, sir, our hotel doesn't have that rule."
...Miss, you probably can't be seen in public looking like this.
Miss Xizi had no choice but to say, "How about this, you can pack up the leftovers... As for the bill, you can come find me later."
"Okay." The waitress nodded slightly.
……
As they approached the partition, the discussion between Young Master Ge Fan and several [Radiant Moon] big shots seemed to be quite intense—but the moment Miss Xi Zi returned, the one with the loudest voice, Lord Mo, instantly became [gentle].
"Oh... I think there are still some unreasonable aspects to this plan..." Lord Mo picked up his wine glass and gently swirled it. "Oh! Miss Sheryl, you're back!"
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Lord Mo," Miss Xizi replied calmly.
The discussion had clearly reached a stalemate, and a way to ease the tension was needed... This is where the role of this famous "figurehead" came in.
Young Master Ge Fan smiled slightly and said, "When Miss Shirley went out just now, it seemed like something happened outside... Did something happen?"
"No...it's nothing," Miss Xizi said casually. "I just ran into a friend who happened to be dining there, so we chatted for a bit."
Young Master Ge Fan's eyes lit up slightly... The big shots present also seemed to be deep in thought.
Logically speaking, the hotel is currently only hosting customers who are participating in the auction—although the number of Layer Worlds is limited, and not every customer can win anything.
What if Miss Sheryl's friend is also a "retail investor" who has obtained the right to design the layer world?
“Since she’s Miss Sherry’s friend, why not invite her over? It’ll be more lively with more people,” Young Master Ge Fan said. “Gentlemen, is that alright?”
“I have no objection,” said Odin, the God-King, calmly.
The discussion reached a stalemate, and he needed time to think.
"Haha, not bad, not bad! Since you're Miss Sheryl's friend, then you're my friend too! Please come over!" Lord Mo said directly!
"Boss, you guys don't have any objections, but I do... People will die!!"
"This... I'm afraid it's a bit difficult." Miss Xizi could only say helplessly, "My friend isn't feeling well. I just accompanied her to the restroom, so it might be inconvenient for her."
The crowd's expressions were rather strange... They were all immortal powerhouses, how could they possibly have any inconveniences?
However, it's quite clear that Miss Sherry didn't want to invite anyone over.
"That's a real pity," Lord Mo said with a smile. "Come on, have something to eat! Miss Sherry, I noticed you haven't eaten much tonight, don't be shy... Here, try this! It's very good for you, especially for your throat, I ordered it especially for you!"
As he spoke, a powerful figure at the [Radiant Moon] level personally served him food.
Miss Xizi was flattered—unfortunately, she wasn't the real Sheryl...all of this belonged to her.
But if these things truly belonged to me...
The thought flashed through her mind, and Miss Xizi immediately put aside some unrealistic fantasies, quickly saying a few words of thanks—it was clear that this Master Mo was a true fan, as he was exceptionally happy after just a few words.
"Excuse me, distinguished guests, may I disturb you?"
Just then, a waitress walked in carrying something that was very familiar to all the big shots present—the hotel's payment system!
Young Master Ge Fan frowned and subconsciously asked, "What's going on? We're not finished yet... Is it time to settle the bill?"
"Sorry, this should be for me." Miss Xizi quickly said, "My friend might not have time to pay the bill, so I asked the restaurant staff to come find me."
"I see." Young Master Ge Fan nodded, then thought for a moment, although he didn't see Miss [Sheryl]'s friends... those who were able to enter were not nobody.
Why not do someone a favor? Perhaps when you have the chance to get to know each other in the future, you can build a closer relationship.
As the son of the governor, Young Master Ge Fan is not the only one... The competition for the governor's position is also very fierce.
So, the young master Ge Fan, who was focused on his career, smiled slightly and said, "Since you are Miss Shirley's friend, let's leave the bill here. I'll settle it later."
"This..." Miss Xizi was taken aback for a moment, "Young Master Ge Fan, that's not what I actually meant..."
"Hehe, if there's a chance, Miss Sheryl, I'd like to introduce you to your friend." Young Master Ge Fan said casually, "It's no trouble at all."
The waitress abruptly said, "Sir, would you like to take a look at the bill before deciding?"
“No need.” Young Master Ge Fan waved his hand. “Just do as I say… Oh, and another bottle of [Awakening of Insects].”
The hotel food is naturally very expensive... but because it is so expensive, everyone is very restrained. When he came in, Young Master Ge Fan had already noticed that the diners only ordered one or two dishes, and at most three dishes.
To facilitate the cooperation, he obtained another sum of money from the governor's father—the funds are currently quite sufficient!
"Ok."
After the waitress left, Miss Xizi raised her glass and said, "Young Master Ge Fan, thank you."
"It's nothing, don't worry about it." Young Master Ge Fan smiled slightly, displaying the demeanor of a young master from the Qian family!
……
……
A dazzling light flashed by.
Suddenly, a Hawaiian-style A-level expert appeared in the hotel's staff bar!
Miss Nan!
"This is the newly opened hotel..."
Ah Nan lowered his sunglasses slightly, looked around the bar where there was only a penguin bartender, and muttered to himself.
"Speaking of which, it feels a bit strange that Miss Yuya suddenly called me back without saying why."
After muttering to himself, mist surged around Xie Nan, and he instantly changed into a new skin.
Since I'm already back, I definitely need to make my presence known to the boss... Black stockings, bodycon skirt, blazer, let's get this ready!
