Chrysanthemum Douluo Lost Sleep From Being Too Full-How Could an Adult Get Mad at a Child?
Never mind Chrysanthemum Douluo's side, where he was silencing witnesses... No, wait! Keeping things under wraps.
Anyway, Lin Feng had already returned to his bedroom on the second floor and was lying comfortably in bed.
At first, he thought that after losing so many points today, he'd be so heartbroken tonight that he wouldn't be able to sleep.
After all, dropping straight from 6,100 points to 610 would leave anyone aching for days.
But Lin Feng had still underestimated himself.
He slept more soundly than anyone else that night.
"Hr... hr..."
Even snores sounded softly in the bedroom. Lin Feng hugged his blanket, a contented smile still on his lips.
Maybe he was dreaming of earning more points than he could ever spend?
Meanwhile, Chrysanthemum Douluo, who had watched the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum slip away from him that day, tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
Of course, losing the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum after briefly having it was only part of the reason. The main reason was that he was stuffed!
Stuffed to the gills!
Chrysanthemum Douluo lay in bed with both hands over his belly. His usually bewitching face was now twisted beyond recognition.
"Burp~~~"
A long, thunderous burp escaped Chrysanthemum Douluo's mouth, filling the entire room with that peculiar fragrance.
It was the lingering aroma of Maple Dye Pavilion's food. Even his burps carried a scent that made people's appetites soar.
But to Chrysanthemum Douluo, that fragrance was pure torture.
"I'll never be that stupid again..." Chrysanthemum Douluo groaned weakly. "Next time, I'll just order one dish and be done with it..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he remembered that Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, and his heart twisted painfully all over again.
If he'd just done as he was told today, the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum would already be in his hands!
He might even have started refining it by now, on his way to breaking through to level 96!
"I'm such an idiot!" Chrysanthemum Douluo wanted to slap himself across the face twice.
"Burp~~~"
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night, filled with the sound of burping...
The next morning, Lin Feng climbed out of bed bright and early.
He stretched at length, feeling refreshed from head to toe.
Chrysanthemum Douluo, Hu Liena, and the other two had all tasted the benefits yesterday, so they were sure to come back today.
They might even bring more Titled Douluo along to eat. Just thinking about having a whole bunch more leeks to harvest filled Lin Feng with so much energy that he couldn't sleep.
Even the frustration of losing over five thousand points last night vanished in an instant.
What were points, anyway? You had to spend the old ones to make room for the new.
As long as he ran this leek garden well, how could he ever run out of points to earn?
"System, open the panel."
Lin Feng recited the words silently in his mind.
[Host: Lin Feng]
[Restaurant Level: 1]
[Gourmet Points: 640]
[System Mall: Inactive (requires a total of 100,000 Gourmet Points)]
Looking at the lonely 640 points, Lin Feng curled his lip.
He was still a hundred thousand miles away from activating the System Mall.
If only there were some way to earn a lot of points in a short time.
[Ding! Detected that the useless host is worrying about points.]
[This system advises the host to give up on wishful thinking and stick to being a cook. After all, earning enough points with that brain of yours would be harder than a sow climbing a tree.]
The system's sharp tongue had arrived late, but it had arrived all the same.
Lin Feng's eye twitched. He couldn't be bothered to argue with the lousy system.
Yawning, he went downstairs, washed up quickly, then lay back in his recliner and waited for the day's customers to arrive.
Sure enough.
Before long, a set of hurried, excited footsteps approached from afar.
"Come on, hurry up! Yan, you big lug, get out of the way!"
"Nana, slow down! Watch your step!"
From the sound of it, the three little leeks from yesterday had arrived.
The next second, the shop door swung open with a whoosh.
Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan rushed in.
Unlike yesterday, when they'd been cautious and apprehensive, today their faces were alight with undisguised excitement and anticipation.
The moment they spotted Lin Feng reclining in his chair, all three straightened up and bowed respectfully.
"Good morning, senior!"
Their reverence was practically greater than what they'd show His Holiness the Pope.
Lin Feng raised his eyelids and gave a lazy "Mm" in reply.
This time, Hu Liena and the others didn't wait for Lin Feng to speak. They sat down and opened the menu as if they'd done it a hundred times.
Yesterday, they'd thought the Clear Broth Noodles priced at a hundred Gold Soul Coins were outrageously expensive. Today, they looked at the price and thought... it wasn't so bad after all. In fact, it was an absolute bargain.
"Hehe, we've got money now!" Yan rubbed his hands together, lowering his voice as he grinned like a three-hundred-jin landlord's foolish son. "Today, we've got to eat something good!"
He had 300,000 Gold Soul Coins in his pocket. He felt like the richest man in Spirit City, and even walked with a spring in his step.
Xie Yue was just as excited. "That's right! Senior said that the more we spend, the better the rewards. If we order more dishes this time, maybe we'll draw an even better reward."
Hu Liena quickly added, "But remember, we have to keep it within what we can eat, or else..."
Hu Liena left the rest unsaid, but Yan and Xie Yue knew exactly what she meant.
They didn't want to fail to finish their food and end up like Chrysanthemum Douluo...
Remembering how miserable he'd looked yesterday, they both shuddered in unison.
Just then, Yan suddenly thought of something.
He sprang up from his seat. His smile vanished, replaced by a solemn, sincere expression.
He walked to the middle of the shop and bowed deeply to Lin Feng, who was lounging in his chair.
"Senior!"
Lin Feng lazily opened one eye and looked at him without a word.
Yan took a deep breath. Guilt showed on his face as he said earnestly, "Senior, I'm sorry! The first time I came here yesterday, I failed to recognize your greatness and offended you!"
"I shouldn't have questioned your prices, and I definitely shouldn't have released my Martial Soul in your shop and tried to cause trouble!"
"I sincerely apologize for my past recklessness and ignorance!"
Having said that, he bowed at a ninety-degree angle, his posture utterly humble.
Hu Liena and Xie Yue hadn't expected Yan to do this, but both of them looked approving.
Yan might have been a bit thickheaded, but at least he'd finally come around.
Yan raised his head and continued, "Also, thank you for being magnanimous, senior. You didn't put me on the Observation List for offending you, or add me to the blacklist, and you're still willing to let us keep coming here to eat!"
"I'll never forget this kindness!"
Looking at Yan's sincere expression, Lin Feng's lips curved slightly.
But on the surface, he merely waved a hand lazily, his eyelids barely raised.
"Come on, it's no big deal."
His voice was still hoarse and languid from just waking up.
"Adults don't get mad at children."
"Just don't do anything stupid next time."
"Yes! Thank you, senior!" Yan thanked him over and over, then happily returned to his seat.
What a generous heart!
What bearing!
He was broader than the sky and wider than the sea!
Meanwhile, in the Elder Hall of Spirit Hall.
The atmosphere was so tense it could practically drip.
Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan slapped the golden round table in front of him. His usually bewitching face was bright red—not from embarrassment, but from fury!
"Everything I said is true!"
