Chen Nuoyi: That Kind of Thing is Not Allowed!

At one in the morning, Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi finished their sentry duty.

"This is the first time I've seen the city center at one in the morning. I usually go to sleep at eleven."

The girl gazed at the sparsely populated and desolate streets, sighing softly.

Su Yuan's heart skipped a beat as he suddenly realized that taking Chen Nuoyi out for a stroll in the middle of the night might cause unnecessary misunderstandings with her parents.

Even in the world of Immortal Ascension Online, most families still require their daughters to be home by eight o'clock.

Especially since Chen Nuoyi has a Dragon King Father.

"Class Monitor, um... aren't you going back a bit late? Won't your dad be angry?"

Su Yuan asked cautiously.

Chen Nuoyi replied without thinking:

"Him? He's probably drunk and can't even tell what time it is, so how would he care if I came home or not?"

Heh, according to traditional tropes, your seemingly decadent Dragon King Father is actually secretly watching over and protecting you.

Art imitates life, so the reality should be like that too... right?

Chen Nuoyi: "Never mind him. Su Yuan, where are we going to eat? Is there really a restaurant cheaper than the school cafeteria?"

"Of course." Su Yuan reached out his hand. "Give me your Mobile Phone."

Chen Nuoyi: "???"

Since her family went bankrupt, all she has left to play with is her Mobile Phone. She's an absolute internet addict and is naturally familiar with the latest online memes.

So, the moment Su Yuan said that, Chen Nuoyi immediately felt some PTSD.

Does Su Yuan mean that eating well on a small budget means taking out a microloan to pay for the meal?

Although this would allow her to eat lavishly, the money borrowed has to be paid back!

For a moment, Chen Nuoyi hesitated for a long time before cautiously saying:

"Su Yuan, I've never done that kind of thing before. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for us high school students to do that kind of thing?"

Su Yuan was slightly stunned, then seemed to understand something, and said:

"It's precisely because you've never done it before that the first time is so precious!"

Chen Nuoyi was shocked: "Could it be that you've done it many times?"

Su Yuan smiled: "Of course. It's precisely because I've done it too many times that I have to use your Mobile Phone and account to do it."

"Class Monitor, I know what you're worried about, but don't be afraid. This kind of thing is very safe, no one will investigate."

Chen Nuoyi: "..."

She understood, but was greatly shocked!

She didn't expect Su Yuan to have such extensive experience in taking out microloans at such a young age.

But... isn't he afraid that if he misses one payment, he'll end up owing more and more, accumulating a mountain of debt?

In the end, Chen Nuoyi chose to stick to her principles and firmly shook her head, saying:

"Su Yuan, I think it's best not to take out microloans if you can avoid it. Otherwise, if you mess up, your whole life will be ruined."

Su Yuan: "???"

"Why are we suddenly talking about loans? I wanted to use your Kangaroo APP account to buy restaurant coupons?"

"Ah? You meant buying coupons? I... I also thought you meant buying coupons. I was just mentioning microloans casually, I didn't mean anything else. Here's my Mobile Phone, hurry up and take it."

Chen Nuoyi's pretty face had already turned red. She quickly changed the subject and stuffed her Mobile Phone into Su Yuan's hand.

Chen Nuoyi, Chen Nuoyi, I told you not to watch those garbage videos. Look, you've caused another misunderstanding!

Luckily, she didn't notice.

Su Yuan didn't think too much about it. He opened the Kangaroo APP on Chen Nuoyi's Mobile Phone. Sure enough, the number of times this former Young Lady had ordered takeout was pitifully low.

And she had never even tried to snatch restaurant coupons from Kangaroo.

For users like her, the Kangaroo platform usually offers even better deals than for old users.

Well then, Miss Chen, I'll take your first... opportunity to buy coupons!

Sure enough, Su Yuan quickly found a buffet restaurant nearby with a huge discount. He opened his own Kangaroo APP and found the same buffet restaurant. The cheapest coupons there were thirty yuan more expensive than the coupons on Chen Nuoyi's account.

With all the discounts, it would only cost fifty yuan per person to enjoy the buffet at that restaurant, which originally cost an average of 168 yuan per person.

After asking for Chen Nuoyi's opinion, Su Yuan bought two coupons.

Admittedly, eating in the cafeteria would definitely cost less than fifty yuan, but the quality of the cafeteria food was definitely not as good as the buffet restaurant.

When they get to the buffet restaurant, they can eat Spiritual Fruit and Spiritual Meat to their heart's content and definitely make their money back.

The only thing Su Yuan regretted was that he was out of Blue Pills.

If he had taken a Blue Pill before entering the buffet restaurant, he would definitely be able to teach the buffet restaurant owner a lesson.

After buying the coupons, Su Yuan also took the opportunity to add himself to Chen Nuoyi's chat app friend list, transferred the money for his share of the coupon, and clicked accept.

He discovered that this Young Lady's friends were pitifully few, only three in total: one labeled "Bastard Dad," one was the manager of a toy store, and one was a Police Sister from the Taihua City Police Department.

Not a single real friend.

So, the Righteous Path Saintess's first friend slot was taken by him, this Demon Lord?

A bit flattered.

Ten minutes later, the two arrived at the entrance of a 24-hour self-service barbecue restaurant.

"Su Yuan, why are you holding your Mobile Phone and recording a video?"

Chen Nuoyi looked at Su Yuan, who looked like a very professional photographer, somewhat puzzled.

Su Yuan explained calmly:

"You wouldn't understand this. It's a Spiritual Power that can greatly improve the service attitude of any store. It's called the Camera Effect. Learn from it; you can use it when you eat out in the future."

"I see."

After scanning the code to enter the restaurant, Su Yuan instructed again:

"Don't eat those pre-made fried rice or instant noodles; those will increase your feeling of fullness. When grilling meat, try to choose the ones that haven't been marinated and where you can see the quality of the meat at a glance."

"As for drinks, definitely don't drink anything carbonated."

Chen Nuoyi nodded repeatedly, "This is my first time at a buffet restaurant. I didn't expect there to be so many tricks to eating at a buffet."

Su Yuan: "With me here, just follow me to choose the ingredients. Come this way."

Chen Nuoyi: "Su Yuan, that machine suddenly spat out a drink. Did you see that? What Magic Treasure is that!"

Su Yuan: "..."

She doesn't even recognize a vending machine? There should be a limit to how unworldly you can be.

After returning to the table with a large pile of barbecue, Chen Nuoyi pointed to the scorching grill in the center of the table and asked curiously:

"Su Yuan, is someone going to help us grill the meat later?"

Su Yuan: "...Sorry, our spending isn't enough to get that kind of service."

But then, Su Yuan smiled confidently:

"But don't worry, I worked at a high-end barbecue restaurant for two months during summer vacation. Just wait and eat."

With that, he threw a large piece of barbecue on the grill, turning up the heat.

"Coach, you're so reliable!"

Chen Nuoyi picked up her chopsticks, her bright, clear eyes fixed on the barbecue as it changed from raw to cooked.
