Chapter 319: Mutated Puffersword – Dark Gold!

Edited by Aelryinth

Zhang Che finally understood why Luo Wenjun was insistent on coming to receive him. This fellow obviously came because of that epic-quality exotic beast!

It was understandable when he thought about it. He was here to visit his relatives, and they would surely be here to receive him. No matter how hospitable the Luo family’s fourth young master was, he wouldn’t have overstepped his place and come to receive Zhang Che over his relatives.

It seemed like Luo Wenjun was in a state of disarray thinking about that epic-quality exotic beast. He wasn’t willing to report this matter to the family, nor could he find the appropriate helpers.

Zhang Che’s arrival was the exact solution to Luo Wenjun’s troubles.

Although he wasn’t clear on Zhang Che’s exact strength, how weak could someone who explored and returned safely from the secret plane alone be?

The fleet of cars soon drove into Tian Xing City, and came to a stop at a traditional-styled building.

This was the most famous restaurant in all of Tian Xing City, the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant.

This restaurant didn’t sell ordinary food. The dishes on their menu were all unique foods found in the beast worlds, and exotic beast meat from the beasts on Mercury.

The common people would go broke having a meal at the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant, even if the dishes they ordered were the cheapest available on the menu.

As for the premium dishes, let alone eating them, the common people wouldn’t even get to see them.

At Luo Wenjun’s personal guidance, Zhang Che’s family directly walked into the Tian Xiang Restaurant’s main hall. A floor manager immediately came up respectfully and guided them to the elevator.

In the main hall, Sister Guo, who was chatting with her important client while waiting for the dishes to be served, looked over at the group incidentally. Her jaw went loose from the shock, almost in disbelief at what she was seeing.

Earlier, she had received a call from her assistant saying that Sun Shaoying’s family was picked up by someone with a fleet of luxurious cars. She had suspected the authenticity of that news. Now that she saw Luo Wenjun conversing with Zhang Che, she had no choice but to believe it even if she didn’t want to.

“Shaoying’s family finally got their break. Her niece actually knows a big figure like the Luo family’s fourth young master. Looks like they will be living the good life in Tian Xing City from now on.”

Although she felt a slight hint of envy inside, Sister Guo was happy for her old neighbor.

Not only that, perhaps she might even be able to do business with the related departments under the Luo family with their connections!

At this moment, Sister Guo’s client asked curiously, “Director Guo, you know those people over there?”

Sister Guo quickly adjusted. She smiled and said, “I do, they are my old neighbors from many years ago. We’re really close! But I didn’t expect that they actually knew people from the Luo family. They’re hiding pretty deep.”

That important client raised his eyebrow in shock, asking, “THE Tian Xing City’s Luo family?”

“Hehe, Director Xiang must be kidding. Is there a second Luo family in Tian Xing City?”

Sister Guo chuckled lightly, feeling incomparably happy inside. It seemed like Director Xiang knew of the Luo family.

Director Xiang immediately stood up and raised his cup of tea, saying sincerely, “Aiya, then Director Guo, you have to help me link up with them if there’s an opportunity in the future. Don’t worry, our deal this time will be as you suggested. You know how this Old Xiang’s character is!”

Sister Guo also quickly stood up with a smile, replying, “Director Xiang is too courteous. I’ll definitely help where I can. Aren’t we all in the business to make money? Hehehehe…”

——-

Zhang Che, who had entered the elevator, would never imagine that he had helped his great-aunt’s old neighbor clinch a huge deal unintentionally. Who knew what he would think if he found out?

Well, this could also be considered as spreading Lei Feng’s selfless spirit to this world… {TLN: As mentioned previously, Lei Feng is a Chinese communist legend known for his selfless and modest nature.}

Although the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant was incomparably famous in Tian Xing City, due to its traditional architecture design, there weren’t many levels. It was only four stories tall.

The first level was the main hall and the kitchen, while the second and third level were private rooms.

The fourth level consisted of only a single private room. The remaining floor area was renovated into an observation deck, where one could see the Heaven’s Lake flowing past grandly nearby. Many ships were sailing on the river. Clear winds blew in their direction, bringing a tinge of coolness to the hot summer. It was a good place.

The floor manager led Zhang Che’s group up. A bunch of pretty ladies dressed in revealing long dresses waited in the large cabin. They would be serving the customers one-to-one later on.

Of course, they were all proper service staff. If any one of the customers dared to touch them inappropriately, they were guaranteed to not be able to get away scott free. The Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant’s background was extraordinary. Almost nobody in Tian Xing City dared to cause trouble here.

On the other hand, those who had the qualifications to cause trouble were all public figures. They couldn’t afford to lose face here.

Seeing everyone had taken their seats, the floor manager asked Luo Wenjun, “Si-shao, may we start serving the dishes?” {TLN: Si-shao is a less formal version of Fourth Young Master, similar to how Liu Gang’s squad addressed Zhang Che as Zhang-shao.}

Luo Wenjun turned to look at Zhang Che and asked, “Brother Zhang, are there any more guests?”

Zhang Che nodded, replying, “Let’s wait a little longer. My uncle-in-law is still on his way.”

After thinking for a bit, he turned to look at Sun Shaoying and asked, “Great-aunt, is uncle coming?”

When they were at the main lobby at the airport earlier, he learned that Sun Shaoying had a son called Xi Wenshan. For some reason he wasn’t present at the airport, and now it was unknown if he would come for dinner.

At the mentioning of Xi Wenshan, Sun Shaoying said, irritated, “Don’t bother about him. We’ll start when your uncle-in-law arrives.”

Sun Shaoying was very dissatisfied with Xi Wenshan. His cousin, Sun Lan, who he had never met once in his decades of life, was here, and he actually didn’t come to receive her. Instead, his priorities were all over the place, only caring about his girlfriend.

A short while later, when Xi Muyun’s husband, Lin Quan finally arrived, Luo Wenjun gave the okay to the floor manager. Soon, all kinds of dishes were served to them as smoothly as flowing water. The entire room was quickly filled with the aroma of the dishes.

Even though Zhang Che had cooked quite a bit of exotic beasts personally, seeing a table full of dishes made from various ingredients found in the beast world left him swallowing.

He felt that the exotic beast meat he had roasted was as plain as chewing wax compared to the dishes prepared so exquisitely by the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant, so much so that they weren’t even fit to enter his sight.

Before they started digging in, Luo Wenjun raised his cup of wine and offered a toast to everyone, then he excused himself from the room.

After all, this was Zhang Che’s family dinner to celebrate reuniting with their long lost relative. Luo Wenjun staying behind was truly inappropriate.

Now that there weren’t anymore outsiders around, everyone started eating happily.

Let alone having such delicacies, Sun Shaoying’s family had never even heard of them. Even Sun Lan and Zhang Che, who didn’t place much importance on food, were amazed when a table full of delicacies was suddenly served to them.

Zhang Che estimated that this table of delicacies alone, not including any other fees, would cost around a million dollars.

By the time everyone had their fill, the sky outside had darkened slightly.

Luo Wenjun was indeed a hospitable man. He was actually waiting outside, and he had the fleet of cars from earlier drive Zhang Che and Sun Shaoying’s families back to their lodgings before leaving.

Before Luo Wenjun left, he even blinked at Zhang Che, reminding him. It was obvious he really wanted Zhang Che to help him hunt that epic-quality exotic beast.

Zhang Che was helpless about it. He could only nod at Luo Wenjun, indicating that he would consider the matter seriously.

Speaking of which, Zhang Che was very interested in the matter.

He was only hesitant because he didn’t know the exact level of that epic-quality exotic beast.

After all, if that epic-quality beast was high-tier, even though it would slip into a state of weakness for a period of time after giving birth, he might not be a match for the beast even if he teamed up with Luo Wenjun, as well as Luo Da and Luo Er. The difference in strength was too great.

However, Luo Wenjun had a point, too. As long as they were fast enough when escaping, they wouldn’t be in danger even if they couldn’t win. It seemed to be worth a try.

That night, Zhang Che stayed in his great-aunt’s guest room, thinking about this matter. He didn’t fall asleep until late into the night, but was greeted by a decent piece of news.

A change occurred in his spiritual sea. The Mutated Puffersword had advanced to dark gold-quality!
