Chapter 1094
As they chatted, the boy led Lin Cheng and the others to a seemingly ordinary inn. Once inside, Lin Cheng and the others observed the inn's cleanliness, while the boy went up to the counter and started chatting with a cute girl about his own age.
"Little Fina, I've brought you customers." The girl named Fina immediately shot a glare at the boy before her.
"Kalo, my age and your age are the same. Although I'm grateful you brought customers, if you keep calling me that, I'm going to get angry." As she spoke, the girl cutely puffed up her cheeks, her little face flushed red, and her big eyes widened with a hint of anger.
But the boy named Kalo paid no heed to the girl's anger in front of him; he even felt a little like patting her head and praising her, "You're really cute."
"Haha, Fina, I remember Aunt Oukaxi said you were born in August, and I was born in March, so you're younger than me."
"You should be calling me big brother."
"No, absolutely not."
"Alright, alright, Kalo, stop teasing my Fina."
Hearing the playful sounds from the counter, Aunt Oukaxi walked out from the back kitchen, stopped her daughter and Kalo's horseplay, and turned her kindly gaze toward the customers, reopening her mouth with a smile.
"Honored guests, may I ask if you're here to stay or to eat?"
"Staying and eating. We'll need about three days, three of the best rooms." Lin Cheng said without hesitation. Hearing this, Aunt Oukaxi's smile grew even kinder, and her eyes squinted in a money-loving way.
"Very well, the best room is 5 silver coins a day, and three meals a day per person is also 5 silver coins. Thank you for your patronage, 90 silver coins."
"Here." Lin Cheng directly took out a gold coin.
"Your change of 10 silver coins."
After accepting the gleaming gold coin, Aunt Oukaxi quickly gave Lin Cheng his change.
Lin Cheng, with a flick of his hand, gave the 10 coins to the boy Kalo.
"Your payment."
"Customer, this, I..."
Kalo still wanted to say something, but Lin Cheng had already stopped him from continuing.
"Consider the rest as a tip for you. Thank you very much for telling me about the War Pet Selection Competition. Go back and have dinner before coming over; tonight I'll still need to trouble you to show us around."
Lin Cheng was not a heartless person. When Kalo first said he only wanted five silver coins, he had also heard other guides telling people about guide fees—the cheapest was 10 silver coins, and the expensive ones even asked for 50 silver coins.
The fact that Kalo could quote such a low price proved the boy was very likely a guide for the first time. Just five extra silver coins—he wasn't some stingy, money-obsessed boss; he didn't care about such a small amount at all.
"Alright, customer, thank you very much. I'll head back to eat first then."
Clasping the ten warm silver coins in his hand, Kalo's heart was still deeply moved. Wanting to share the burden at home, this was his first time working as a guide, yet he had gone several days in a row without a single customer willing to hire him. Now, at last, he had earned some income.
Kalo believed that in the future, his guide business would only get better and better!
"Mm, go ahead, boss. Bring us something to eat; we haven't eaten all day."
"Coming right up."
Soon, Aunt Oukaxi smiled and, together with her daughter Fina, came out of the back kitchen carrying all sorts of meats and vegetables. With a meal fee of 15 silver coins a day, even if they served all meat dishes, they could still earn quite a bit.
It was just that she didn't want to neglect these customers.
After eating this meal that fell between lunch and dinner, and being satisfied with the clean and tidy rooms, the three of them did as they pleased—some rested, some bathed, some meditated.

After the real meal was over, Lin Cheng and the others waited for him inside the inn.
"Guests, where would you like to go tonight? I know all the famous scenic spots in Goodwill City."
Coming downstairs from the inn, Kalo also ran over quickly.
"Take us to the place that sells war pets first. We're somewhat interested in war pets," Lin Cheng said. "If the War Pet Selection Competition is starting the day after tomorrow or tomorrow, then let's learn about the types of war pets today."

If possible, he also wanted to get Miss Qianhui a war pet to assist in combat.
"Alright, then I'll take you to the War Pet Street of Beast Pen City first."
"Sure."
The entire Beast Pen City's main economic development was the trade of magical beasts and war pets—so much so that it was called the empire's number one city for magical beast and war pet trade. Naturally, the war pets in Goodwill City had the best and largest war pet trading street.
It was said that every year on this street, the actual sales transactions completed, apart from the income of the war pet merchants, added up to 50% of the overall income of Goodwill Pen City. This didn't even include the follow-up business of war pets; one could imagine how many war pets the merchants on this street sold each year.
The distance from the inn to War Pet Street was still somewhat of a choice, and it took quite a bit of time on the road—especially when passing by a newly opened shop, which cost even more time.
The reason was that the newly opened shop was actually a milk tea shop, one of the people who had initially come looking to collaborate with him.
Lin Cheng, with a mindset of inspection, ordered four cups of treasured tea. This milk tea was actually exactly the same as the one he produced himself; the only difference was that the water used to brew the tea seemed not as good.
