A few minutes later, Wang Sheng brought all the Work-Study Students to Ye Feng's side. Tang San was the exception.

Xiao Chenyu's gaze sharpened as he asked, "Wang Sheng, what are you trying to do?"

"Didn't you say we could never come to the second floor to eat? I came up to show you. How could we not be able to eat on the second floor?" Ye Feng replied.

"Oh? Has the sun risen in the west? Work-Study Students can order dishes too?" Xiao Chenyu laughed, and the two lackeys beside him laughed along. Then he called out, "Waiter!"

A waiter came over to Xiao Chenyu's side, waiting for his instructions.

"Bring me one of your signature dishes, Crispy Spicy Chicken," Xiao Chenyu said with a smile, his eyes full of smugness.

A serving of Crispy Spicy Chicken cost ten Silver Soul Coins. Wang Sheng and the other Work-Study Students only earned ten Copper Soul Coins a day from cleaning. Xiao Chenyu wanted to see how Ye Feng would respond.

"Waiter, bring each of our tables a serving of Crispy Spicy Chicken," Ye Feng said.

"Huh?"

The waiter cried out in surprise, staring dumbfoundedly at Ye Feng.

Ye Feng, Xiao Wu, Wang Sheng, and the other Work-Study Students numbered nine in total and sat at three tables. One serving of Crispy Spicy Chicken per table meant thirty Silver Soul Coins.

"Oh? Trying to compete with me?"

Xiao Chenyu chuckled, mockery curling at the corners of his lips. He had been worrying about where to flaunt his superiority, but now that Ye Feng had come knocking on his door, how could he miss such a fine opportunity? He raised his hand and continued, "Waiter, bring us another Steamed Eight Treasure Pig."

Steamed Eight Treasure Pig was a signature dish of Notting Academy's cafeteria. One serving cost fifteen Silver Soul Coins.

"Bring each of our tables a serving of Steamed Eight Treasure Pig too," Ye Feng ordered without hesitation.

"Boss!"

Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Wang Sheng lowered his voice and quietly reminded him, "There's no need to waste money like this. One serving of Steamed Eight Treasure Pig costs fifteen Silver Soul Coins."

Xiao Chenyu grinned. This was exactly the effect he wanted. Without hesitation, he continued, "Bring another serving of Cold Duck Shreds!"

"Bring another serving of Cold Duck Shreds," Ye Feng immediately echoed.

"Bring another serving of Braised Sea Snails," Xiao Chenyu said with a smile.

"Bring another serving of Braised Sea Snails," Ye Feng followed up.

"Bring another serving of Winter Melon Soup."

"Bring another serving of Winter Melon Soup."

"Bring another serving of West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce."

"Bring another serving of West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce."

"Bring another serving of Spicy Shrimp."

"Bring another serving of Spicy Shrimp."

No matter what dish Xiao Chenyu ordered, Ye Feng ordered the same one. Ye Feng was going all in against Xiao Chenyu.

This scene drew the attention of the teachers and students eating on the second floor. Everyone watched the spectacle. Nearly all of them looked at Ye Feng and the other Work-Study Students with gleeful anticipation, waiting to see how Ye Feng would clean up this mess in the end.

"Boss."

One of Xiao Chenyu's lackeys could not help sneering in a low voice, "He's probably an idiot. The dishes he ordered cost at least ten Gold Soul Coins."

Not only were Xiao Chenyu's lackeys stunned, but Wang Sheng and the others also stood frozen in place, looking helplessly at their Boss, Ye Feng.

Seeing that Xiao Chenyu was no longer ordering dishes, Xiao Wu—who had no concept of money and did not care whether Ye Feng truly had any—mocked him, "Why did you stop calling? Go on, keep ordering dishes. But then again, Ye Feng ordered food for three tables, and every dish matches yours. What about you? You only ordered food for one table. So tell me, who exactly is the poor bastard now?"

"Hmph, you little girl who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. You want to compare wealth with me? My family is among the richest in Notting City. I'd like to see what you can use to keep competing with me." Xiao Chenyu was angered as well and continued, "Waiter, bring me a thirty-year Roasted Whole Tiger."

Roasted Whole Tiger was extremely expensive. The tiger used was no ordinary tiger, but a tiger-type soul beast with a cultivation of thirty years. Among Notting City's noble circles, it was an exceptionally luxurious dish. One serving alone cost fifty Gold Soul Coins.

This was already Xiao Chenyu's limit. Such an expense would drain the pocket money he had saved over more than ten years.

"Waiter, bring each of our tables a serving of Roasted Whole Tiger," Ye Feng ordered without hesitation.

Uh!

Xiao Chenyu froze.

Wang Sheng and the others froze as well.

"Hahaha..."

Some of the onlookers could not help laughing contemptuously. Even some of the teachers present could not afford this dish. Yet Ye Feng, a mere Work-Study Student, dared to order it so casually. Wasn't he just putting on a brave face?

The onlookers could already envision Ye Feng's miserable ending.

"Waiter, serve the dishes. I'd like to see how they'll manage to eat them in the end." This was exactly the result Xiao Chenyu wanted. He believed Ye Feng and the others would definitely be unable to pay for the food, and he wanted to see Ye Feng's downfall.

"Then serve the dishes," Ye Feng said casually.

The waiter paused, then came to his senses. His face instantly darkened as he glared angrily at Ye Feng. "Whose child are you? Are you making fun of me? Do you know that the dishes you just ordered cost at least one hundred and sixty Gold Soul Coins? How much money could you possibly have, and you still want to act like some big shot here?"

"It's only one hundred and sixty Gold Soul Coins. You thing that looks down on people through dog eyes." With a flick of his finger, Ye Feng took out a black card from his bracelet Storage Soul Guidance Device.

"Storage Soul Guidance Device!"

"Black Card!"

"Who is he? He actually has a Storage Soul Guidance Device and a Black Card?"

The teachers and students present stared at Ye Feng in shock. Compared to the Storage Soul Guidance Device, worth at least several dozen Gold Soul Coins, they were even more stunned that Ye Feng possessed a Black Card.

A Black Card was a symbol of status. Its holders were mostly government officials of various nations, millionaires, and prominent figures in society. A Black Card was not merely a symbol of wealth, but also of honor. Even most nobles in Notting City were not qualified to possess one.

Xiao Chenyu: "..."

As a wealthy second-generation heir, Xiao Chenyu naturally knew what a Black Card represented. His eyes went blank with shock, leaving him too stunned to speak.

"Fake."

Xiao Chenyu did not believe Ye Feng was qualified to possess a Black Card. After being stunned for a moment, he sneered, "How could a Work-Study Student have a Black Card? It's fake. If your Black Card isn't fake, then you picked it up. Or you stole it. Hmph."

Xiao Chenyu had already decided that Ye Feng's Black Card was fake or had been obtained through improper means. No matter what the final result was, Xiao Chenyu was fearless, having already thought of ways to deal with it.

If Ye Feng's Black Card was fake, Ye Feng would humiliate himself without Xiao Chenyu needing to do anything.

If Ye Feng's Black Card was real, then Xiao Chenyu would report him to the authorities and have Ye Feng thrown into prison.
