Chapter 66

: Accepting Reservations Again
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
On the side, the pot of soup which had been left to simmer earlier was ready as well. It was a light milky-white broth. Small mushrooms floated all over its surface, emanating a tempting, fresh fragrance.
Bei Feng scooped the soup into a large bowl and brought it to the living room.
Bai Xiang followed right behind him, a huge plate of Giant Salamander braised in brown sauce in his hands.
The entire time he was cooking, the insatiable cow Bai Xiang had stood right beside him, drooling and looking at the food with a heated gaze.
There was a saying that anyone who was not fervent about food must have something wrong with his brain!
Just from their enthusiasm for food, Bei Feng and co were obviously a group of very mentally healthy people. The group of five eyed the dishes with ravenous eyes as they were set before them.
The meat of normal giant salamanders was already quite nutritious. It contained great amounts of amino acids which the human body needed!
Any meat which contained amino acids usually made for an ultra tasty ingredient, and was especially delicious.
Bei Feng grabbed a piece of meat and delivered it into his mouth, biting into it lightly. As he chewed, the tender meat seemed to melt in his mouth, his tongue suffused with incomparable deliciousness.
As soon as they saw Bei Feng make the first move, the others quickly joined in, picking up generous portions of the meat with their chopsticks.
Bei Feng was quickly awakened from his state of enjoyment. Rather than taste, Bei Feng was more concerned about the amount of energy contained within the Variant Giant Salamander meat!
‘Eh? The amount of energy in this meat is not even a third of the Imperial Shrimp’s!’ Bei Feng realized. In the end, size was not all that mattered.
‘No wonder the System only awarded 250 points for it. So the amount of experience gained is equal to the actual value of an item. The more valuable an item is, the more experience points I get!’ [1]
Bei Feng employed logical thinking and immediately theorized that this creature must have barely been recognized as a Grade 1 Demonic Beast solely due to its massive size!
The quality of this meat was actually pretty good. It was at least comparable to the Imperial Shrimp in the taste department. The only problem was that the amount of energy and nutrition it contained was inferior by a large margin.
As for the chat group Bei Feng had created previously, its atmosphere had entirely transformed.
Because he had disappeared from the chat group for such a long time, the WeChat group had slowly devolved into a red packet channel. [2]

Fck! I got another packet with the word Bao!
[3]

Panda Who Doesn’t Eat Bamboo
grumbled in disbelief as she stuffed some money into a virtual red packet, keyed in the name of the recipient and sent it over the group chat.

Hehe, it’s just luck.


Sinister Youth
sent with a smiley face.

By the way, did anyone see the boss appear? I haven’t seen him for a really long time… could it be that he’d already closed his shop?


Big Brother Soldier
suddenly asked.

Who cares? Even if he remains open, we won’t be able to afford a single meal there.


Gone With the Wind
sent a gif with a guy rolling his eyes. These guys were speaking as if they could afford to patronize the ridiculously priced restaurant.
The chat was stunned. What a perfect and logical reply that was! Your daddy I am actually unable to retort at all!

Hurry up and send the red packets, don’t change the topic!


Alright, dmmit, you guys got me…

The chat quickly resumed its lively activity of exchanging red packets.

Red packets are hereby banned in this chat! Whoever dares to send another red packet will be kicked out of the group! Bei Feng’s private restaurant will be accepting reservations again from tomorrow. Ten tables will be served everyday, the price will be 3,200 yuan per table!

Bei Feng looked at the pandemonic atmosphere within his chat group which had once upon a time been so orderly and righteous with a displeased frown on his face. As his eyebrows scrunched so close together that they threatened to merge into a unibrow, he hurriedly typed out an official note.

What the hell? Who’s this joker?! Where’s the chat leader? Hurry and kick this fellow out!


Your Daddy Was Not Raised In Fear
cursed freely.

He is the chat leader…


Panda Who Doesn’t Eat Bamboo
quickly replied. But even before
Your Daddy Was Not Raised In Fear
had the chance to read the message, he had been kicked out of the chat group.
With the dead chicken before them as an example, the group of monkeys was immediately cowed into obedience. This was especially the case for the people who joined the chat late. They had no idea what was going on at all. Wasn’t this a bloody red packet group?

Oh my God, I thought the chat was named Bei Feng’s private restaurant to hide its true purpose. But it’s actually a real restaurant?!

Those who joined specifically for the red packets immediately left the group.

Oh shit, the boss finally came out again! But at least the pricing is more acceptable this time…


That’s right, I can still remember the previous pricing. It was around 6000 yuan per table! What’s more, all the slots were fully booked in a short period of time. This time, I’m determined to give it a try myself no matter what! If the food is not up to expectations, we’ll see how the boss can get off the stage!


Hello? 911? There’s someone acting stupid here. Yes, the situation is already out of control. I can’t beat the person in terms of stupidity, so please hurry and bring them away.

Discussions were rife in the chat.
As for Bei Feng, he had closed the app right after posting the message. Although the Variant Giant Salamander tasted good, it was impossible for the few of them to finish it within a short period of time.
Furthermore, the nutritional value of this Giant Salamander was only a few times higher than normal giant salamanders. To the current Bei Feng, this was negligible. It could at most be used to fill his stomach.
After dinner, Bei Feng took a refreshing bath and slept till he was satisfied.
By the time he woke up in the morning and finished washing his face, the three Bei Feng Guards were already waiting outside his room.

En, not bad. This is the kind of attitude I was hoping to see.

Bei Feng nodded his head in satisfaction as he turned around and led the three up the mountain.
After witnessing Bei Feng absorb the essence of the sun, the three Bei Feng Guards had already developed absolute faith in the mystical powers of Minor Illumination Breathing Technique.
Mystics Two and Three also understood that this breathing technique was the greatest stroke of luck they had encountered after having lived for over 20 years. It was something they could not afford to lose! Thus, even without Bei Feng reminding them, all three Bei Feng guards were resolved to wake up before dawn.
‘Boss is really a deity descended on the mortal world!’
The respect and awe they felt for Bei Feng had increased exponentially as they watched him absorb yet another ray of light from the morning sun.
With just that bit of effort, Bei Feng had managed to raise his stats by another few points.
His mental power and body strength appeared to be deeply intertwined with each other. Whenever his strength increased, his mental power would grow as well.
If the body was imagined as a boat, mental power would be the oars. Only if the two worked in tandem would one be able to escape the sea of bitterness.
A trace of understanding appeared in Bei Feng’s mind. In that moment, he even felt that Minor Illumination Breathing Technique’s bottleneck had been nudged slightly.
Unfortunately, it was only a small ripple that appeared; it was insufficient to actually lead to a breakthrough. The barrier before the next level quickly regained its usual tranquility. Bei Feng estimated that he would require at least ten more insights of the same level if he wished to reach grand completion.
‘This stroke of insight could be considered as me bumping into an extremely unlikely dogshit luck. How long would I have to wait to get ten more such insights?’
Bei Feng was speechless.
Forget it, the current level of peak level mastery of the breathing technique was already sufficient for him. If he could make a breakthrough, that would be for the best. But if not, it was fine with him as well.
If he really managed to break through to grand completion, Bei Feng was not confident that he would be able to suppress the huge amounts of Yang Qi that would come every time during cultivation!
Feeling the heroic battle scars under his shirt, Bei Feng could not help but sigh in amazement at his body’s regenerative strength. If a normal person had received this kind of wounds, it would take at least a month for them to heal!
Satisfied with his morning cultivation, he turned around to continue instructing the three Bei Feng Guards.
The person who surprised Bei Feng the most was the little girl—Mystic One. She had exceeded all his expectations and was the one who had improved the most.
Perhaps the technique was easier to learn for young children with flexible bodies, or perhaps it was because children did not have as many unnecessary thoughts, having what Daoists referred to as the innocent heart of a child, but Mystic One’s progress in the movement sets was stellar!
Even the breathing technique had been picked up easily, although it hadn’t completely taken form yet.
However, this much was enough to cause Bei Feng to feel incomparably shocked! If she was able to improve so rapidly with his half-assed teachings, he knew without a doubt that if she were to learn the technique through the direct transmission method, her cultivation speed would completely surpass him!
[1] TL/N: Duh. I wonder how he figured it out!
[2] TL/N: WeChat red envelope is a mobile application developed by Chinese technology company Tencent. The concept, also offered by its market competitors Alibaba and Baidu, is based on the Chinese tradition of hongbao (red envelope), where money is given to family and friends as a gift. The application offers users the ability to provision money in the form of virtual ‘credits’ to other users of the application. It allows the user to assign a lump sum to a red envelope made up of a group of smaller red envelopes within it. The ‘grouped’ red envelope can then be posted to a group chat and the application randomly assigns the amount in each envelope to each recipient.
[3] TL/N: They are probably playing the 五福红包, where the players must collect 5 different words. So if you keep getting the same word, you won’t be very happy about it, since you won’t be able to qualify for the grand price without all 5 words.
