Chapter 139

If one's culinary skills were good enough, one could use this lump of meat to make many different kinds of delicious buffs.

Common food-type buffs like attack, defense, and EXP bonuses could all be provided in a single dish.

Su Ming could even grill steak to produce buff effects; using this meat, one could imagine the effects would be even stronger.

Snap!

Suddenly, the Golden-Veined Fish Sword on his back poked its head out and took a big bite of the fish meat, directly drilling out a large hole.

Subsequently, all the scales on its blade slightly lifted, emitting a satisfied sound.

"Good fellow, actually stealing a bite."

Su Ming smiled slightly, but didn't stop it.

Anyway, this piece of fish meat can heal.

Sure enough, the meat block that had been bitten immediately began to slowly squirm, seemingly healing slowly.

Su Ming immediately put it into the system space.

"The loot is mostly organized, and I've also taken this time to recover some physical strength."

Su Ming didn't stay too long, only recovering less than 10% of his spiritual power.

But it was enough for him to move around.

"It's time to go back!"

A white light enveloped him, and Su Ming left the settlement space.

He appeared inside a room!

This was the place he was in before entering the dungeon.

The Fat Goose Under Inn.

"Ah!!"

A girl's scream rang through the room.

Su Ming opened his eyes and looked, only to find a young lady changing clothes behind a virtual screen.

She had a proud figure, upright breasts, and was slightly taller than the average girl.

There was a mature woman's fragrance in the room.

She hurriedly draped a black garment over herself, picked up her weapon, and issued a soul-searching question.

"You! Who are you!?" Her voice was shocked and extremely pleasant, yet carried a hint of exhaustion.

Through the virtual screen, Su Ming couldn't see her appearance clearly.

But he could hear that her breathing was rapid.

Her tone was slightly flustered, anxious, and carried extreme, undisguised murderous intent.

Easily revealing murderous intent meant her situation was very bad.

Being so panicked meant she was very likely someone who had come here to take refuge.

After all, the Fat Goose Under Inn, located in the Sky Tower World, is one of the rare "absolutely" safe places.

Many people come here to temporarily avoid the limelight.

Looking at her weapon, it seemed to be a short gun.

Her class should be a Gunner.

But Su Ming didn't have time to have an in-depth conversation with her now.

And, he had absolutely no interest.

He had no time to delay; he had to go save Ji Yao immediately.

"Quack, quack, quack, sorry, I am the butler of this inn, I wanted to ask if you need our shop's special free new grilled steak?"

Su Ming pinched his nose, pretending to be the Fat Goose butler, and said.

"No need! Get out, no one is allowed to disturb me!"

From behind the screen came an angry voice.

"Yes!" Su Ming took the opportunity to step down, turned around, opened the door, and rushed out.

This action successfully avoided a battle.

When passing through the inn lobby, the Fat Goose manager immediately stopped Su Ming.

It was extremely fast, and the shackles on its feet made a clanking sound.

There was a barrier inside this inn, which enhanced its strength!

It was not only the butler here but also the inn's security guard, holding multiple positions.

Being able to guard the shop alone in the Sky Tower World, its strength was also very unfathomable.

"Guest! You are actually still in the inn?"

"I searched everywhere and thought you had already left, so I gave the room to the next guest."

"This has caused huge trouble for our shop, please explain!"

The Fat Goose butler's voice was extremely shocked.

Such a situation rarely happened at the Fat Goose Under Inn; this was a serious dereliction of duty on its part.

"I entered a dungeon while in the room, so you couldn't find me."

"Now I have an urgent matter, move aside!"

Su Ming said with a cold expression.

Subsequently, he sidestepped the Fat Goose butler and rushed toward the door.

Bang!

An invisible barrier knocked Su Ming back; he couldn't rush out at all.

"A barrier?"

And the grade was not low; it was difficult to break through by force!

Su Ming looked solemn and turned to look at the manager.

The suit-wearing Fat Goose walked over slowly, standing with its hands behind its back, its demeanor unhurried.

"Multi-space lockdown barrier, personally set up by my boss."

"This guest, you only purchased 8 days of residency, and now you have seriously exceeded the time limit..."

"According to the regulations, extensions require double the room fee."

"Please pay the 660,000 Arrival Coin extension compensation, otherwise you cannot leave here."

Its voice was very calm, but it had an old goose's nasal tone, making it impossible to be serious.

"Does being in a dungeon count as an extension?"

Su Ming's expression was cold.

"Yes." The old goose was dead serious.

"Because when you exit the dungeon, you return to the inn, causing trouble for new guests, so you must be held accountable."

"Under normal circumstances, guests who spend a high price to choose expensive refuge rooms have life-and-death worries, such as being hunted or wanted..."

"Otherwise, no one would choose such an expensive inn."

"Renting an inn is originally for refuge; in this situation, no one would enter a dangerous dungeon world, that is simply putting one's life in danger, and you are the first one."

"Normal people, even if they want to enter a dungeon for adventure, would check out first, otherwise they would face huge fines for extensions."

"And you obviously forgot to check out."

The old goose paused, then said.

"After your room limit expired, you didn't choose to renew, and you were nowhere to be found, so of course I would assume you had already left."

"And I assigned it to other guests."

"This matter also involves my dereliction of duty, so I have already waived half of the compensation for you."

The Fat Goose said sincerely.

"Regarding this matter, I will hide part of it from the boss, so I can suffer less punishment, and you can pay less compensation; this is all I can do."

Hearing this, Su Ming frowned and didn't say anything more.

He decisively paid the money!

In his previous life, Su Ming also often stayed at the Fat Goose Inn.

But this was indeed his first time entering a dungeon while at the inn.

It could be considered his negligence regarding this aspect of the rules; he could only accept it himself!
