Chapter 118: A Happy Meal

Donald's homework was well done; as a gentleman, he had always believed in a respectable life.

One must try newly opened shops at the first opportunity; that way, one would have topics of conversation among colleagues and friends. If one could bring everyone along, that would be even more respectable.

If one could order skillfully and provide interesting introductions, one would even be praised by colleagues.

This was the effect he wanted, so after learning that several new shops had opened on Store Street, he ran to Store Street almost immediately to inquire about what kind of business each one did.

He even went to specifically study those obscure Xiahui words, as long as he could spell them out properly. It was clear that his two female colleagues had developed a sense of admiration for him. Donald closed the menu and then said to Bantang Yingtao, "Please bring some more fruit wine, thank you."

Enzyme fruit wine is not difficult to ferment; with the temperature in Tana City, it can be fermented successfully in two or three days.

Bantang Yingtao had made quite a lot, and the taste was quite good, though it was still a bit bland compared to grape wine.

These fruit wines were simply too friendly for young ladies, so even if they were a bit expensive, these ladies would still feel satisfied.

Besides attracting female colleagues, Donald did not forget to introduce this shop to his male colleagues, "I also saw it from the audit applications on Store Street. Recently, this street has become lively again. The owner of this shop is also a Xiahui person, and the stir-fried dishes they make are very good. It is said that they use this method to stir-fry vegetables over there. Besides noodles and bread, they also eat rice, and they make it quite well."

As he spoke, rice and steamed buns were brought up, and several cold dishes were served at the same time.

These dishes were reasonably priced, costing only 1-2 Silver Tana for a meal. For a civil servant with a weekly salary of 6 Silver Tana, the price was not completely unaffordable.

Of course, if one were alone, there was no need to spend that much money at all; there were plenty of ways to solve one's weekly dietary needs within 500 Tana.

"The taste is really good. Is this beef? How on earth is this made? It's like crystal."

"The taste of this bread is very strange; it is firmer than cake, but it tastes softer than bread." Another colleague also exclaimed, "No wonder Miss Saina would recommend the restaurant here; the taste is indeed extraordinary."

Hearing Miss Saina, Bantang Yingtao pricked up her ears.

Although she had never seen this Miss Saina with her own eyes, among the players, this NPC was quite famous.

Although her functions were not as numerous as Andrew's, she seemed to be the first person from the Calamity Church to infiltrate the Government Building, serving as a source for a lot of inside information.

For example, she once notified Andrew to exchange for Xide as soon as possible. Andrew did this very quickly, and it was basically finished during the time the players were testing.

Currently, nobles all need to queue and make appointments to exchange, but Andrew does not need to; he has already finished exchanging.

For another example, Saina could provide Andrew with the most suitable land acquisition plans within the city. The reason he was able to acquire the Nongzhuang in the dock area and the nearby wineries was all because of Saina's help.

This was enough to show that grinding favorability with Government Building personnel was a very important matter.

"Yes, but this lady is truly strange. She actually reminded the Governor to visit the Sun God Cult more often, and not only that, she also hoped that the nobles would visit more often." A man with somewhat thinning hair complained, "Who would want to get involved with that kind of cult? I don't want to be single for the rest of my life."

"No, this is not Miss Saina's problem. I heard that when many people went to handle exchange business, they were presented with many additional conditions. Those nobles have a pile of dung in their brains; they actually signed the agreement on a whim." A man who looked like his career was not going well followed up, "Going to the Sun God Cult is to obtain the power of Purification, to make one's luck better, or to block some mysterious power related to Curses."

A lady sounded as if she were very surprised, covering her wide-open mouth with her hand.

Whether it was Curses or Purification, these were Transcendental contents that were widely circulated among the commoners, yet among these middle-class people working in the Municipal Hall, it seemed to be some kind of earth-shattering news.

It was clear that a while ago, many people in the Factory District paid for Transcendental Power and became dead souls.

"Don't be afraid, Ms. Lily. If you work in the Municipal Hall, you don't need to worry about this kind of problem. We have defensive spells from the Wisdom Church, and members of the War Church are constantly patrolling and guarding. The police have also recruited more manpower, and it is said that they are still in training." Donald expressed his concern at the appropriate time, "For this kind of thing, we just do whatever the Governor says. After all, we cannot solve the problems for them."

"Donald is right. Oh my god, this fish is made so beautifully, and this tenderloin, it tastes just like cherries, it's so delicious." Another lady was more interested in the food, feeling a sense of satisfaction in the process of tasting it.

"Let us toast, to the new future of Tana City." Donald raised the fruit wine in his hand and clinked glasses with everyone...

So the Sun God Cult also possessed the power of Purification, making luck better, or making people less easily influenced by things like Qi Luck.

It seems that the Sun God Cult can not only produce Sun Fruit that tastes a bit strange, but also has some other abilities.

For example, Purification.

This news soon spread to the forum, and there were immediately quite a few replies under Bantang Yingtao's post.

Feng Buxi: No wonder the Bishop hasn't come to supervise the work recently, but has been receiving those nobles in the office instead. So that was the reason.

Ai Ai Who Draws: I thought the Sun God Cult's ability was planting, but thinking about it, that shouldn't be right. The Sun God Cult is not the Earth Church; he has no reason to only be responsible for planting. But this cult is really mysterious, making me draw many strange symbols. When drawing some symbols, the pigments were even mixed by the Bishop himself; I don't even know what the formula is.

Shurima Big Deer to Ai Ai Who Draws: It feels a bit terrifying when you put it that way, and we also don't know where the Sun Church gets so many Believers; it feels like the number has increased quite a bit. Recently, people from the War Church have also been discussing this matter.

Feng Buxi to Shurima Big Deer: That is because the Sun God Cult uses Sun Fruit for charity. Some people who were in poor health ate the Sun God Cult's Sun Fruit, and it seems their health has improved as well.
