Wu Tong: Tricking People Actually Felt Pretty Good

Continuing from the previous chapter:

——

"Okay, let's go quickly. I don't really like it here; it feels so oppressive."

Elysia looked at the town in front of her, feeling the oppressive and heavy atmosphere in the air, and frowned slightly.

The others also had furrowed brows, and seemed to dislike the place.

Wu Tong wasn't surprised by this; it was indeed a bit difficult to ask a group of heroes to adapt to the life of outlaws.

Seeing this, Dugu Bo was a little puzzled as to why this group of people were acting this way, but he didn't pay too much attention to it.

After all, strong people all have some quirks, don't they?

Besides, these are people from Otherworld; it's normal for them to be unaccustomed to the new environment.

So Dugu Bo smiled and said, "Then I'll lead the way. I've been to this town before, and I remember a restaurant here that had pretty good food. I hope that restaurant is still there."

"That would be wonderful, then I'll have to trouble you, Old Master."

Pardofelis, mimicking Wu Tong's form of address, addressed Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo nodded, replied in a gentle tone, and then led the group into action.

With Dugu Bo taking the lead, the rest of the group followed suit.

Soon, the group arrived at a small restaurant near the exit on the east side of the town.

"Haha, it seems it's still there. Luckily, the trip wasn't in vain."

Upon seeing the small restaurant, Dugu Bo said with a touch of nostalgia.

This restaurant is very simple, with only two small floors.

The first floor is the main hall, and the second floor has private rooms.

The first floor was bustling with activity, filled with loud discussions, boasting, drinking, and the sounds of people playing drinking games...

The various sounds intertwined, making the entire restaurant extremely noisy.

Upon seeing this, the group frowned; the environment... was rather poor.

Wu Tong was not short of money, but seeing this environment made him feel a little uncomfortable, so he immediately decided to find a private room.

It wasn't that Wu Tong was being pretentious; it was just that the environment on the first floor was indeed not very good.

Can you imagine a group of grown men, shirtless, drinking, chatting, and joking around?

The commotion was so great that it could only be described as a chaotic dance of demons, and the earth-shattering noise would not be an exaggeration.

So, after Pardofelis found the shop owner, the group skipped the first floor and went straight to a private room by the window on the second floor.

Once we reached the second floor, the sound was almost gone; you couldn't hear it at all unless you listened carefully.

Upon seeing this, Wu Tong glanced at the surrounding walls and immediately realized that they were made of sound-absorbing wood, which explained their excellent sound insulation.

After they could no longer hear the sounds coming from the first floor, the others visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

After everyone was seated, Wu Tong took the menu handed to him by the restaurant owner and prepared to order.

Only...

After glancing at the novel dish names, Wu Tong realized that he didn't recognize any of them.

Then, Wu Tong, looking completely defeated, handed the book back to the shop owner who was waiting nearby, saying, "Fry one copy."

"One copy?"

The shop owner was a little confused, what does it mean to speculate?

"That means you should bring me all the dishes listed above."

Seeing this, Wu Tong had no choice but to repeat himself.

"Alright, esteemed Lord Soul Master, please wait a moment, the dishes will be served shortly."

Upon hearing Wu Tong's words, the shop owner immediately beamed with joy. After respectfully responding to Wu Tong, he left the private room with the menu.

"Phew, finally I can eat. I'm so hungry."

As soon as the shop owner left, Pardofelis immediately revealed her true nature, lying down on the table and shouting that she was hungry.

"Didn't you eat breakfast, Pardofelis?"

Seeing Pardofelis paralyzed like this, Hua asked in confusion.

"Yes, Sister Hua, I went to bed too late last night and got up late this morning."

Pardofelis said somewhat dejectedly.

"In addition, I had just gotten up this morning when I saw Wu Tong's message. I hadn't even had time to eat when Sister Aili dragged me over."

At this point, Pardofelis looked resentfully at Elysia, who was harassing Griseo.

"Uh... hehe?"

Receiving a resentful look from Pardofelis, Elysia glanced back at Pardofelis, feeling a little embarrassed.

However, she didn't know that Pardofelis hadn't eaten. When she went to look for Pardofelis, the cat had already started tidying up the room, and she thought Pardofelis was ready to leave.

(Actually, Pardofelis was tidying up the room right after she got up, not when she was preparing to leave.)

And so, a strange misunderstanding was born by sheer coincidence.

Seeing this, the others nearby were also somewhat amused and exasperated. Looking at Elysia's embarrassed face, a thought involuntarily arose in their minds.

As expected of you, Elysia?!

When there's trouble, you can solve all the trouble; but when there's no trouble, you are the biggest trouble.

"Alright, let's have some snacks to tide us over first."

Hearing Pardofelis's words, Wu Tong glanced helplessly at Elysia before taking out the Gourmet Tablecloth.

The Gourmet Tablecloth is no stranger to everyone; they've used it many times before and are already quite adept at it.

Seeing that Wu Tong had brought out this treasure, the others didn't stand on ceremony with Wu Tong and immediately started listing the dishes on the Gourmet Tablecloth, ordering a bunch of pre-dinner desserts.

"Brother Tong, I thought you forgot to bring the Gourmet Tablecloth, which is why we had to find a restaurant to eat at."

"Since you brought it, why do we need to find a restaurant? Wouldn't it be more convenient to just use the Gourmet Tablecloth?"

While stuffing something into her mouth, Pardofelis asked Wu Tong indistinctly.

"Finish eating before you talk," Wu Tong said, barely understanding Pardofelis's question, and rolled her eyes at her.

Can't even a meal shut you up?

Although she was complaining in her heart, she didn't forget to explain to Pardofelis.

"While the Gourmet Tablecloth is convenient, you can't always use Gourmet Tablecloth. If I have to leave, will you still eat without the Gourmet Tablecloth?"

"In the end, food should come back to life. Besides, how can human potential be inferior to that of a machine? Some chefs can make food that even Gourmet Tablecloth can't match."

"It's like some worlds built specifically around food, where the chefs are people who can turn ordinary ingredients into something magical. The food they make is much better than what Gourmet Tablecloth can provide."

"Moreover, not to mention there are also some Gods of Food, Gods of Cookery, Gods of the Kitchen... these guys who can be called gods with their cooking skills are not simple either."

"So, you need to have some ambition. Don't just stare at the Gourmet Tablecloth. Try more dishes made by the chef himself. Maybe you'll find the kind of chef I'm talking about."

(Just kidding, actually it's because I lent the tablecloth to Kanna and just got Pardofelis back. If you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten.)

However, I must say, it feels really good to fool people.

Hearing this, Pardofelis's eyes lit up. She didn't have any grand ambitions; her only wish in life was to live a good life and have enough to eat and wear.

But now that I have achieved this goal, I should set an even higher goal for myself.
