"Ah! Come, come, come. Miss, please come in. Please take a seat. What would you like to order? This shop has many specialties." The stunned waiter suddenly realized something and quickly said enthusiastically.
"What do you have?" Helian Moyu looked straight at the waiter and asked indifferently.
" Mandarin Fish, Shrimp with Jade Belt, Roasted Chicken with Konjac, Duck with Youxi Bu, Stewed Water chestnut Turtle, Lotus with Rock Candy, Dew Butterfly Slices, Sea," the waiter introduced quickly and skillfully.
"Stop! Just these few. I'll take it away." Helian Moyu stopped him.
"This... Do you want all seven dishes?" The waiter asked in surprise.
"Yes, why? Any objections?" After saying that, she narrowed her eyes and looked at him dangerously.
"Uh... No, no, no. I have no objections! Ahahaha. I'll place an order for you now." Although the waiter said that, he was thinking in his heart,"Such a beautiful girl is actually a big eater. One had to know that these seven dishes were all specialty dishes! Moreover, the price of each dish was very expensive. He did not know if this girl could afford it.”
"" Helian Moyu retracted her gaze and handed a blue savings card to the waiter without saying a word.
"Oh! Alright, alright. I'll swipe your card now.”Before he finished speaking, he took out a blue card from his pocket and placed the front ends of the two cards together. A small blue transaction circle appeared above the two cards. There were many obscure charms on the circle…Moments later…
The card that stores gold coins is white
The card that stores purple coins is purple
The card that stores low-grade crystal coins is blue
The card that stores high-grade crystal coins is orange
The card that stores the top-grade crystal coins is green in color
The card that stores Holy Coins is gold
"The payment is complete. I look forward to your next visit. By the way, Miss, our restaurant is currently carrying out an activity on the third floor. If you answer a question correctly, you can choose any dish from a fixed cuisine. After obtaining it, you can choose to eat it directly. The next time you eat it, you can also convert the dish you choose into money and give it to you. However, every question was connected. Only after successfully answering three questions in a row could one choose to give up or continue. Moreover, as long as you answer a question wrongly, no matter how many questions you answer correctly before, it will be considered a waste of time. You will not get anything. The most important thing was that the application fee for participating in the event only cost 1 high-grade crystal coin. One had to know that the cheapest dish in this shop was worth 278 low-grade crystal coins! How much would he earn if he won? "And ah!" The waiter excitedly introduced her in detail, his words clearly wanting her to participate.
“... Puff! Cough cough cough…" What was that? The cheapest dish was worth 278 low-grade crystal coins! What I ordered just now were all specialties. How much would that cost? Although the state preceptor gave me those six cards, I can't just spend them! After all, I didn't earn this money myself. Just treat it as a loan, so I'll return whatever I use. Helian Moyu has been living frugally for the past ten days. He just didn't want to owe too much. He wanted to just hold on until he reached Dark Feather Manor, but the waiter's words made all the savings he had saved over the past ten days disappear! Helian Moyu almost spat out her tea.
"Uh, uh, uh, girl, you... What's wrong? Are you alright?" Before the waiter could finish his introduction, Helian Moyu's sudden spray of water stopped him abruptly.
"Let's go!"
"What? Where are you going?" The waiter's face was full of questions, obviously not following Helian Moyu's train of thought.
"Go to the third floor." Helian Moyu said gloomily. I must take back all the low-grade crystal coins wasted on these seven dishes! After that, I'll ruthlessly set you up again.
However, the owner of this restaurant really knew how to do business! Regardless of whether the contestants won or lost, the restaurant would definitely make a profit. Before the start, one had to hand in a high-grade crystal coin first. After winning three times in a row, one could choose to advance or retreat. The vast majority of people would choose to give up after winning three times in a row and not choose to continue taking risks. However, the dishes could only be selected from the fixed dishes selected by the restaurant. Only a fool would put the expensive dishes in! The three dishes he won were worth at most 700 low-grade crystal coins, so he had earned almost 300 low-grade crystal coins. This scheme was ruthless enough! It was really full of tricks!
In this world, the division of money was clear.
1 Holy Coin =100000 Supreme Quality Crystal Coins
1 top grade crystal coin =10000 top grade crystal coins
1 high-grade crystal coin =1000 low-grade crystal coins
1 low grade crystal coin =100 purple coins
1 purple coin =10 gold coins
However, since I, Helian Moyu, have bumped into this event, your 'Elegant Gathering Loft' will suffer a huge loss!
……
Third comment:
The first thing that came into view was a white marble screen. Behind the screen, scholars gathered together. It could block the interior, but it could not block the occasional laughter from the inner room. Looking at the four corners of the room where white marble pillars stood, the surrounding walls were all carved out of white jade. Orchids carved out of gold bloomed between the white stones, and the green gauze curtains rippled in the wind. Helian Moyu stood in the building, and after looking around, two words appeared in her mind: It was luxurious. A faint sandalwood fragrance filled the air around him, and specks of sunlight shone through the hollowed-out carved window.
Walking around the screen and entering the inner room, he saw a rosewood marble table in the middle of the hall. Beside the table was a large Ruyao flower bag filled with white chrysanthemums. There were also various famous people's calligraphy on the table, as well as dozens of precious inkstones and pen holders of various colors. On the west wall hung a couplet, which read: Haze and haze idle bone, spring stone wild life. On the left side of the red sandalwood shelf was a large plate made from a large official kiln. On the plate were dozens of delicate yellow and exquisite Buddha's hands. A white jade chime hung on a lacquer rack on the right, and a small hammer hung beside it. The inner room was filled with a natural and elegant scholarly air.
The important thing was that there were too many scholars here, so no one noticed Helian Moyu entering the inner room because they were all paying attention to the person on the competition stage. Normally, an ordinary contestant would not have such high popularity and attention. However, he was Yin Hongxuan, the number one disciple of the 'Star Pavilion' of the 'Supreme Dual-Academy' in the 'Immortal Yang Continent'. He had been the number one disciple for three years in a row, and no one had been able to shake him.
Helian Moyu found out that there were still some people who cultivated the " Qi of Calligraphy " in this realm.‘Yin Hongxuan was one of them. Anyone who chose this path hated killing and war, and would avoid bloodshed for life. Moreover, the more knowledgeable one was, the purer the scholarly aura in one's body would be.
One should not think that this kind of cultivator was only academically advanced and had extremely strong combat strength. This 'scholarly aura' could be ranked fourth on the professional combat strength rankings, but it was the so-called true martial arts. However, the Constitution of Heaven and Earth had set a combat restriction for cultivators of the 'scholarly Qi':"You can't kill anyone! If they violated it, they would be strangled by the heavens and earth and never be reborn.”At the same time, it also set a restriction for cultivators of other occupations: "No professionals are allowed to kill people who cultivate the 'scholarly energy'. If they violated the rules, they would be strangled by heaven and earth and never be reborn.”
The first time Helian Moyu heard of this kind of professional restriction, she only commented,""He's a liberal arts student who can fight but can't fight to the death.”
Suddenly, the scholars surrounding Yin Hongxuan said loudly,""Alright!" Then, deafening applause sounded.
"Young Master Yin, you are indeed knowledgeable, talented, far-sighted, and wise! "As expected, you easily passed the first three stages. I wonder what you're going to do next?" The butler of Juya Restaurant deliberately paused and asked.
"Butler, you flatter me. Please continue…" Yin Hongxuan's gentle and unique voice attracted Helian Moyu's attention. She couldn't help but look forward to see what the man looked like. Then, her pupils gradually dilated.
The man was extremely handsome. His facial features were distinct, and his lips were red and his teeth were white. His angular face was abnormally handsome. She had a tall and elegant figure. He was wearing a moon-white, high-quality silk robe with elegant bamboo leaf patterns embroidered on the golden-blue edge and a suet jade hairpin on his head. He was wearing a green jade belt and holding a patterned nephrite fan. It cleverly accentuated the extraordinary figure of a fresh, handsome, gentle, and noble young master. His rosy lips were faintly gentle, but he seemed to be smiling. His chin was slightly raised, and his lake-like eyes were as bright as the galaxy.
“... Tsk! He doesn't look safe at all..." After a long time, he came back to his senses and cursed himself for not having enough self-control. Then, he commented unhappily.
"Good! Young Master Yin, please listen to the title. The owner of our 'Elegant Building' accidentally obtained this treasure. Its name is 'Zhiyin' and it is a high-grade glass jade. The workmanship is exquisite and unique, and the design is exquisite. Now, I would like to ask Young Master Yin to use 'Zhiyin' as the title to compose a poem for it.”As he spoke, he placed the jade on a table and let Yin Hongxuan observe it closely to find inspiration.
“...”For a moment, no one spoke. They all looked at Yin Hongxuan with anticipation.
"Heh... Such a junior would embarrass himself, Zhiyin…
Beautiful mountains and rivers…Out of uncut stones
The essence moistens yet... It was known.
A tree…Late Maple Frost…Shengxue,
Spring flowers turn into autumn... Reality!
Since ancient times, the high mountains have been like flowing water,
Karma runs, karma knows." Yin Hongxuan finished the last two lines in one go and completed the poem. There was no doubt that he had passed the fourth test.
"Hahaha, good, good! Young Master Yin's writing was brilliant, and the last sentence was the finishing touch! Congratulations on passing the fourth stage.”
"Continue." Yin Hongxuan smiled faintly.
"Alright, the fifth test, please listen to the question: What can a woman lift with one hand when a hundred men can't lift it? I'll give you half an incense's time to consider." Yin Hongxuan was stunned by the question. He didn't expect it to be this kind of question, so he fell silent.
Yin Hongxuan's silence caused the others to start whispering.
"A hundred men couldn't lift it, but a woman did! What exactly is that?"
"I think that woman's strength is definitely greater than those hundred men.”
"That depends on what realm that woman has cultivated to.”
"That's right. You must know that with every increase in realm, your power will also change.”
Those people were still discussing.
Suddenly, Helian Moyu thought of something and smiled mysteriously. She suddenly understood.
"Butler, what is the profession of that woman? What realm had his cultivation reached?”Yin Hongxuan couldn't help but ask as he listened to the others.
"Young Master Yin, even if that woman is an ordinary person, she can still lift something that even a hundred men can't! Please hurry, it's almost time!" Yin Hongxuan was stunned again when he heard the housekeeper's words. He couldn't help but frown, and he was even more confused about the answer. The discussions of the others exploded.
"Ordinary people? How is that possible?"
"That's right! How could an ordinary woman have the strength of a hundred men?”
"Butler, did you get the question wrong?”
The butler smiled but didn't say anything. He looked at Yin Hongxuan, who had a serious expression, and then at the incense stick that was about to be extinguished. He counted down silently in his heart. At this moment, a cold voice echoed clearly in the hall.
"I'll answer for him!"
The butler of the Elegant Gathering Restaurant thought that it would end just like that, and he had earned another high-grade crystal coin. Who knew that someone would come out of nowhere! That's right, Helian Moyu was the one who said those words.
She originally thought that since there was a foreign language student who had been number one for three years participating in the competition, she didn't have to personally go. Now, it seemed that she was still the one who had to mess things up.
"Oh my god! She's so beautiful!" Only then did everyone notice that there was a stunning beauty standing at the back. But what did she just say? She would answer the questions! She knew the answer to this question?
"How about I take your place in the next round?”The others automatically made way for him. Helian Moyu walked up to 'Yin Hongxuan' from the back and looked straight at him as she asked.
"This…" Yin Hongxuan blinked, but before he could finish, Helian Moyu said,
"Alright, it's a happy decision. What does the butler think?" At this moment, the waiter stepped forward and whispered something into the butler's ear.
"This... That's not good. "Miss, please." Helian Moyu interrupted her again and said,"Is your Elegant Gathering Restaurant that short of one top grade crystal coin? If that's the case, I'll give you one as a tip. Take it.”After saying that, she deliberately showed a disdainful look and took out a high-grade crystal coin from her storage ring and threw it at the butler's feet.
Everyone looked at her in shock. Although the butler of Juya Restaurant was usually smiling and understanding, he was a Tier 4 Intermediate Swordsman! On the other hand, Helian Moyu didn't have any spiritual energy on her body, just like an ordinary person.
Apprentice Swordsman (weakest)
beginner swordsman
intermediate swordsman
advanced swordsman
Sword Saint Master
Sword Saint
Sword God (Strongest)
Each level was divided into one to five levels.
For a moment, everyone held their breaths and looked at the butler of the Elegant Gathering Restaurant. It was as if he was waiting for the butler's anger. Helian Moyu just stared at him, and the butler also stared at Helian Moyu. The atmosphere was in a stalemate. After a long time…Yin Hongxuan was about to say something to break the deadlock, but the butler spoke,
"Hahaha, the Elegant Gathering Tower doesn't lack that one high-grade crystal coin! Since you already know the answer, I'll make an exception. Please tell me your answer.”The butler narrowed his eyes and smiled.
Helian Moyu was not surprised. This was within her expectations because she knew that this was the 'Elegant Gathering Loft' and he was still a butler. It was impossible for him to make a move during his duty. Otherwise, he would have to ban his future money-making activities!
"Alright! For example, it was impossible for a hundred men to lift an egg at the same time, right?”Helian Moyu replied confidently.
Yin Hongxuan was stunned. He didn't expect Helian Moyu to answer like that. He didn't even think about eggs at first. Helplessly, he smiled and shook his head. He thought to himself, I actually lost to an egg. It seems that there are still many things I don't know!”
"Yes, yes, yes! The girl was really smart, talented and beautiful. These are the dishes you ordered. They're all packed here! Moreover, I have another question here. How about we play another round?”The butler pointed at the bag that the waiter had just brought over and asked with a smile. The fragrance from the bag assaulted his nose, and it was very alluring.
"Good! Then I'll apologize again. Something came up suddenly. I'll take my leave now.”After saying that, he went forward to pick up the dishes in the waiter's hands, turned around, and jumped out of the window.
"Young lady! Your name... Before Yin Hongxuan could finish asking, Helian Moyu's figure had already disappeared.
Everyone had yet to react to this sudden turn of events, and they were all stunned. The butler was even more confused. However, the moment Helian Moyu jumped out of the window, he seemed to have sensed the scent of a magical beast.
