When Lin Dong heard this, his eyes lit up as he looked at Luo Fei and said in surprise: “As expected of Brother Luo! That’s right, the ingredients in this restaurant are all ferocious beast meat. Through the chef’s exquisite culinary skills, they are able to retain the maximum flavor of this meat and at the same time, the energy contained within it will not be lost!”
“Ferocious beast meat? As expected!”
A glint flashed across Luo Fei’s eyes. After eating the ferocious beast meat, one’s strength would increase while an ordinary person’s body would also improve. This was common knowledge. However, he did not expect that it could be converted by the system into numbers to increase one’s strength.
“Brother, my entire body feels so warm and comfortable!” At this moment, Luo Xue also spoke in a timely manner.
“That’s right, the ferocious beast meat can make your body healthier! Eat more!” After which, Luo Fei gave Luo Xue a large amount of food and rubbed her head with a doting expression.
“Yes yes!”
Luo Xue licked her lips and directly transformed into a little foodie.
Lin Dong, who was standing at the side, was deep in thought when he saw this. After that, he opened his mouth and said, “In that case, I will not disturb Brother Luo eating. If this is not enough, you can just call me directly!”
Lin Dong pointed to the outside before he planned to leave and give Luo Fei space to eat.
In any case, Lin Dong had already gained a good impression of him, and that was enough. After all, he knew that it was better not to overdo it. There would still be plenty of time in the future. Befriending Luo Fei is a long process, but it would be fine as long as he took it slowly.
Once a prodigy martial artist who had not received any prior training joins a large faction and receives systematic training with sufficient resources, their strength would definitely increase at a rapid rate. It would probably not take long for Luo Fei to break through to the martial master realm!
Moreover, he knew that even the martial master realm was definitely not this person’s limit! At that time, Luo Fei’s value would truly be displayed. It was also because Lin Dong had anticipated the future that he was willing to lower his status and come to befriend Luo Fei. Otherwise, in the future, he would not even have the opportunity to befriend.
This was also the reason why many major factions were willing to befriend prodigies. A small amount of effort would potentially be rewarded handsomely. Of course, there were also some prodigies who might die halfway through. This was all a risk. It all depended on one’s own foresight or one’s ability to cast a wide net.
Luo Fei was someone that Lin Dong felt could become a strong practitioner. As the dignified Young Master of the Lin family, he was one of the top young prodigies in base 38. Moreover, the Lin family was extremely powerful. Why would he lower his status to befriend Luo Fei? Under normal circumstances, he would probably be ridiculed.
However, if it’s for the sake of Luo Fei when the news of what happened in the main hall of the Thunder Dojo spread out, even his father would probably praise him. Furthermore, he was extremely confident in his own judgment.
Since ancient times, what people admired most was giving timely assistance in times of need. When Luo Fei’s power has already been established in the future, he would potentially remember Lin Dong’s good deeds and return any favor being asked of him. It just so happened that Lin Dong could provide timely assistance now.
“Alright!” Luo Fei nodded his head in agreement and gave up on the idea of eating next to Luo Fei. It was likely that Luo Fei would be uncomfortable having him sitting by the side. Even Lin Dong himself was not used to it.
Lin Dong was not surprised by Luo Fei’s reaction. He immediately left the private room and closed the door after he left.
After arriving at the outer hall of the tea room and sitting on the leather sofa, Lin Dong once again reverted to his usual high and mighty appearance. His actions revealed a noble aura, causing one to feel ashamed of their inferiority.
He waved at a rather good-looking young lady.
“Young Master Lin, is there anything else I can do for you?”
“How much is the total?”
“Young Master Lin, please wait a moment. I will immediately call the manager over!”
Before long, a somewhat bloated middle-aged manager hurriedly rushed over and respectfully greeted him.
“Please tell me, how much is it?” Lin Dong sipped his tea and casually asked.
“Young… Young Master Lin, you should also know that currently, there is a shortage of ferocious beast meat everywhere. The table you ordered just now has almost emptied out all of our hotel’s top-quality stock. If it was anyone else we wouldn’t even agree even if he paid us more money…”
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment before he spoke with a face full of shame.
Lin Dong frowned slightly upon hearing this. He did not want to listen to this nonsense and directly interrupted, “Just tell me how much?”
“Five hundred thousand!”
Lin Dong almost lost his grip on the teacup when he heard this. He raised his eyebrows, “You guys are getting bolder and bolder! Do you all dare to blackmail me? Do you think that I am an idiot who does not know about the true price of ferocious beast meat?” His heart was instantly filled with rage.
“Young Master Lin, you have misunderstood! Even if I had the courage, I would not dare to blackmail you!”
When the manager heard this, his expression immediately turned fearful. With a bitter smile, he hurriedly explained, “The ingredients used were the best among the practitioner-level, not to mention that you also said that there are extraordinary people at this table. Therefore, our hotel has added a large number of spiritual objects to maximize the enormous energy in the ferocious beast meat. Didn’t you say that we should only give the best treatment?”
After the manager finished speaking, he carefully looked at Lin Dong.
After hearing this, Lin Dong’s anger had long dissipated. At the same time, the corner of his mouth clearly twitched a little. After which, he pretended to be calm, while his right hand trembled as he took out a card with a gold border and handed it over.
“Alright! However, when Mr. Luo and his sister ask about it, you should know what to say!”
“Don’t worry Young Master Lin, we will definitely handle this matter properly!”
After the middle-aged manager finished speaking, he took Lin Dong’s gold card and left excitedly. This was a huge sum of money! As for the fact that he did not have enough ferocious beast meat previously, it was actually just a concocted lie.
“What a mouth! However, only with sacrifice can one gain something! Looks like the battle blade that I wished to purchase previously will have to wait again!”
Lin Dong smiled bitterly as he muttered to himself.
He did not lack money. Previously, he only wanted to show off in front of Luo Fei. Even though his family was prominent, he did not get much pocket money every month. Furthermore, the expenditure of a martial artist was extremely high.
Ordinary ferocious beast meat would naturally not be this expensive. However, the one served to Luo Fei was of top grade. Furthermore, the chefs added a large number of spirit items. Even Lin Dong himself had never eaten so extravagantly.
…
“Big Brother, it is too delicious!”
In the private room, after Lin Dong’s group had left, Luo Xue completely let loose. Her cheeks were bulging like a bun, looking extremely cute.
“Not bad! You can eat it if you want in the future!”
At this moment, Luo Fei had also finished eating a piece of meat and gently said those words. He was extremely satisfied with Lin Dong in his heart. Was this young fellow really kind? In the future, Luo Fei would help him if he had the chance. He knew that the dishes on this table were definitely not cheap.
Due to the powerful energy contained within the ferocious beast meat, an ordinary person would usually be full after eating a single piece. However, Luo Xue had already eaten so much and was still able to continue eating. With a single glance, it was obvious that she had undergone a special treatment so that the energy would not occupy her stomach, but would instead transform into energy.
“Oh right, Brother, this table is filled with ferocious beast meat. I remember that the beast meat is very expensive, even up to tens of thousands of dollars! It seems like we don’t have that much money…”
Halfway through eating, Luo Xue finally remembered something. She suddenly became a little worried and stopped her actions.
