Chapter 351: What the hell, so expensive?

"Opening a banquet isn't only for major events, is it? What are you eating if you have nothing to do?"

Chen Nuo complained in a sentence.

Tianpeng and Xiong Dao Ren said nothing, but in their hearts they couldn't help thinking: a teammate is gone—isn't this a major event? Chen Nuo always felt these two were acting strange today, and he looked them over.

Seeing the large bundles on this person and this bear, he couldn't help asking: "You guys..."

"Is everything inside treasures?"

Chen Nuo's eyes lit up: "You guys actually found quite a lot this time?"

The treasures Tianpeng found and the ones Chen Nuo found are no different—anyway, they all end up in his hands.

Tianpeng laughed embarrassedly: "Shopkeeper Chen, these... are all luggage, not treasures."

Luggage? Chen Nuo blinked slightly: "You guys are fleeing disaster?"

"Shopkeeper Chen, we came to rely on you."

Tianpeng rubbed his hands, speaking happily.

"Sorry, Chaos Residence currently has no lodging services."

Hearing it wasn't a magical treasure, Chen Nuo instantly lost interest, turned around, and headed into the shop.

He was going to prepare Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, and had no time to waste talking nonsense.

Seeing Chen Nuo turn around, Tianpeng's expression turned anxious, and he hurriedly shouted: "Shopkeeper Chen, we're also here to eat."

Chen Nuo stopped walking, turned his head to glance at Tianpeng: "Then follow along."

After saying that, he directly entered the house—whenever it's about eating, he's always welcoming.

Tianpeng and Xiong Dao Ren took back their bundles, carefully following behind—this was piled up last night just to keep warm.

"Let's see, what should we eat?"

Chen Nuo opened the door and saw the mountain, directly pushing the menu in front of Tianpeng; the menu floated upright in midair.

Tianpeng and Xiong Dao Ren originally still had some apprehension in their hearts, but upon stepping through the shop door, they inexplicably calmed down.

Who in this world could barge into Chaos Residence? They're inside Chaos Residence—let alone whether Yun Zhongzi could come knocking, even if someone came in the morning, he wouldn't dare act rashly.

Shopkeeper Chen is just awesome!

With their minds at peace, naturally they had an appetite. These past few days they've been busy plotting treasure thefts, haven't gone out to eat anything, and although they have cultivation, even fasting wouldn't harm them.

But they truly couldn't resist their inner cravings—they've been wanting food badly for a long time.

Tianpeng looked at Xiong Dao Ren, patted his chest, and said: "Dao Ren, today you may have no merit, but you have hard work—come, you order the dishes, I, the Commander, will treat."

"How can I feel good about that, Brother Peng..."

The failure of the operation is also due to his negligence!

Xiong Dao Ren verbally made excuses, but his hand unconsciously rested on the menu—there was no way around it, the dishes Shopkeeper Chen made were just too tempting, and he couldn't hold back.

Xiong Dao Ren opened the menu and began to examine it intently; each exquisite dish struck straight at his heart, and he wanted to eat whatever he saw.

But he could only choose one—truly a difficult decision.

As he flipped through, Xiong Dao Ren turned to the back page of the dish category.

His gaze swept downward, then suddenly stopped on the last dish—he couldn't help swallowing, and his eyes instantly burst with extreme longing.

Xiong Dao Ren's paw pointed at it, and he loudly said: "Brother Peng, I want this one."

"You go ahead and say which one—who knows which that is?"

Looking at Xiong Dao Ren, Tianpeng asked generously: "Just one dish? You're not ordering anything else?"

"Alcohol, soda water—what else, you drinking or not?"

Ordering just one dish really underestimates Tianpeng's financial power.

"Just one is fine, thanks, Brother Peng."

Xiong Dao Ren happily nodded.

The price doesn't matter—so long as Brother Peng can think of this little brother of his.

Chen Nuo stepped forward, glanced, raised his brow, and softly said: "This dish costs ten meals, but since it's the first launch, it's 10% off—so only nine meals needed."

Nine, nine times!

Tianpeng was instantly dazed.

"What dish is this, so expensive?"

Tianpeng hurriedly asked.

"It's the new item Chaos Residence is launching today—Buddha Jumps Over the Wall."

New item? Could it be the one I heard about last time? Tianpeng felt both surprised and delighted—he was genuinely happy about the new launch, but this price somehow dampened his mood a bit.

Immediately, Tianpeng probed: "Shopkeeper Chen, why is this new item so expensive?"

Although hot pot can also be ordered at this price, after all, that's with extra dishes—the base price is normal.

Chen Nuo didn't mind: "I actually set this price for him,

then it must exist—it's the reason for this price."

"With such a high probability of divine power awakening, setting the price this high is completely normal."

"That... Brother Peng, should I switch to another dish?"

Xiong Dao Ren felt a bit embarrassed.

He had just been focused on how good it looked, didn't see the price beside it—this dish normally costs ten meals, really too expensive for a game!

"No need."

Tianpeng shook his head, slapped his own face to make himself look fat: "You think Brother Peng I'm someone short on money? I bought it."

Tianpeng's aura leaked out domineeringly as he slammed the table.

Chen Nuo narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Good, the money has already been deducted from your account."

He has always been this decisive and swift.

As soon as these words were spoken, Tianpeng immediately felt a pang of pain in his flesh, but he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief; fortunately, Dao Ren did not ask for any more alcohol or drinks, otherwise today would have been a major hemorrhage.

Although he had a lot of money in his account, spending so lavishly once still made him somewhat reluctant.

His hands trembled imperceptibly as he took the menu from Xiong Dao Ren's hands; he never expected that what Xiong Dao Ren ordered would be so expensive, so he might as well save a bit, just order something casually.

Tianpeng thought to himself, casually flipping the page, which happened to be the very page Xiong Dao Ren was looking at, and the next moment.

"Boss Chen, this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, give me one serving as well."

Tianpeng's voice carried excitement mixed with steadfastness, his eyes fixed tightly on the beautiful image of the dish on the menu, unwilling to look away.

Xiong Dao Ren was somewhat slow to react, hesitating as he said: "Brother Peng, you just said this dish was too expensive, didn't you?"

"How come, you're allowed to eat it, but I'm not allowed to?"

Tianpeng rolled his eyes and retorted without hesitation.

"Brother Peng eats!

Brother Peng eats"

Xiong Dao Ren quickly shook his head with an apologetic smile, how dare he? Even today, he was being treated by Brother Peng, so what Brother Peng eats is entirely up to him; he was just somewhat surprised by Brother Peng's generosity.

The two of them together amount to the price of eighteen meals, Brother Peng is just lavish!

Xiong Dao Ren felt that if it were him, he would absolutely not be able to bring himself to spend so much, and his admiration for Tianpeng grew even deeper.

Chen Nuo had no interest whatsoever in the thoughts of this one bear and one person; to him, ordering food was the most important thing, provided payment was made.

"Anything else?"

Chen Nuo asked casually.

"... No need for now, we'll talk about it when we eat."

Tianpeng laughed heartily, politely refusing.

This time he had already qualified as a major hemorrhage; elsewhere, save where possible!

Upon hearing this, Chen Nuo nodded: "The money has already been deducted, you just wait here!

I'm going to prepare it now."

Tianpeng forced a smile, was about to respond, but suddenly noticed the object hanging on the wall, his face drastically changing.

He extended his trembling hand and pointed: "Boss Chen, this, this is not..."
