Huo Yuhao Was Neither a Commoner Nor a Genius

Shrek Academy Outer Academy Cafeteria

A stall named Luckin Coffee also opened at noon today.

As for the stall's renovations, that matter was handed over to the academy's students.

With Ye Tian's reputation in the Inner Academy, all he had to do was post a task, and plenty of students would rush to accept it.

Compared to hiring people from outside, outsourcing the work to students would obviously save a great deal of money, and the payment could be replaced with a few simple academic credits.

Of course, the ones who accepted such tasks were generally upper-year students.

Lower-year students had endless classes every day. How could they possibly have time for tasks like this?

Several upper-year students who had accepted the task thought that Master Ye was going to cook at the Outer Academy cafeteria. They all worked with every ounce of strength they had, quickly completing the stall's renovations.

At a normal worker's pace, it would have taken at least another week.

In Shrek Academy's Outer Academy cafeteria, aside from the usual food-serving stalls, there were rarely any stalls selling other kinds of food. Beverage stalls like the one Bai Ran had opened were practically nonexistent.

If not for his uncle Ye Tian's standing in the Inner Academy, Bai Ran's coffee shop would never have been able to open.

As the Shrek teachers put it, "Students come to the academy to study, not to indulge themselves. What's the point of making the cafeteria so good? Isn't it enough as long as they can fill their stomachs?"

The Inner Academy was different. After all, it was the core of Shrek Academy.

Setting taste aside, "food supplements" were also an extremely important cultivation resource. Not only did one have to eat, one had to eat well.

After giving some thought to Luckin Coffee's pricing, Bai Ran finally decided that every product would be priced at 9.9 Gold Soul Coins, as a tribute to Luckin's traditional 9.9-yuan price.

Under the Douluo Continent's current currency system, 1 Gold Soul Coin equaled 10 Silver Soul Coins, which equaled 100 Copper Soul Coins.

9.9 Gold Soul Coins equaled 99 Silver Soul Coins, or 990 Copper Soul Coins.

A level-twenty Soul Grandmaster received a monthly subsidy of 10 Gold Soul Coins.

One cup of coffee would cost an ordinary Soul Grandmaster more than half a month's cultivation resources.

At first glance, this pricing seemed somewhat unreasonable. However, the prodigies of this era who could awaken top-tier martial souls and enter Shrek Academy were basically either wealthy or noble. To them, 9.9 Gold Soul Coins was nothing. Besides, compared with coffee's effects, selling it for only 9.9 Gold Soul Coins was already extremely generous.

As far as Bai Ran knew, the only commoner genius was Jiang Nannan.

As for Huo Yuhao?

He was neither a commoner nor a genius.

No matter what, he came from the White Tiger Duke Mansion and was the White Tiger Duke's son. (He even changed his name to Dai Yuhao in the end. Absolutely speechless.)

If he had not obtained his Second Martial Soul, Huo Yuhao's Innate Soul Power would have only been level one. He had nothing to do with the word genius.

Price List:

Luckin Iced Americano — 9.9 Gold Soul Coins per cup

Luckin Raw Coconut Latte — 9.9 Gold Soul Coins per cup

After thinking it over, Bai Ran added a reminder that each dining period was limited to fifteen cups per person.

Aside from breakfast, which only lasted two hours from 6:00 to 8:00,

lunch and dinner each lasted three hours.

Based on his current total Soul Power and Soul Power recovery rate, Bai Ran could make at most fifteen cups during a single meal period.

People definitely would not be accustomed to coffee when they first started drinking it.

The customers who came to buy it would probably all choose the Raw Coconut Latte, which had an excellent texture and flavor.

Tang Ya was in an exceptionally good mood today because she and Beibei had both passed the advancement assessment and become fourth-year students.

On the way to the cafeteria, they happened to run into Huo Yuhao, who had just gotten out of class. Tang Ya simply walked over and pulled him along to the cafeteria.

"Teacher Tang Ya, isn't this inappropriate?"

"It's fine, Xiao Yuhao. Your Senior Brother Beibei has plenty of Gold Soul Coins. Don't be polite with him."

Huo Yuhao looked at Senior Brother Beibei's helpless expression. At that moment, he felt like an enormous third wheel.

What had originally been a lovely date between a couple suddenly became an internal Tang Sect dinner.

This, this was so Tang Ya.

Although Senior Brother Beibei said he was treating, Huo Yuhao still knew his limits. He only ordered what he usually ate, spending roughly a few Copper Soul Coins.

"Xiao Yuhao, how can eating so little possibly be enough? No wonder you're a head shorter than everyone your age."

"That's right, Yuhao. You don't need to be polite with Senior Brother Beibei."

Seeing that Huo Yuhao had only ordered some radishes and vegetables, and had not even dared to order a chicken leg,

Tang Ya and Beibei both sighed inwardly: Yuhao was so sensible that it made their hearts ache.

"I think this is already very good."

Huo Yuhao truly was not lying.

Compared to the inhuman days he had spent at the Duke's Mansion, he could at least eat hot meals at the academy.

"Xiao Yuhao, if you run into any difficulties in the future, make sure to come find Sister Tang Ya. Teacher Tang Ya and Senior Brother Beibei will stand up for you."

"I will, Teacher Tang Ya."

Was this what it felt like to be cared for?

That was what Huo Yuhao said, but if he truly encountered hardship, his stubbornness and pride as the child of destiny would keep him from troubling others.

Beibei looked at Tang Ya with a complicated expression. She was clearly still burdened with a blood-deep vendetta, yet she still sympathized with others. Tang Ya, you really were something else.

Beibei: Perhaps this was also why I liked this girl.

"Eh? Luckin Coffee."

After Tang Ya and the others had gotten their food and were preparing to find a place to sit, Tang Ya suddenly noticed this newly opened cafeteria stall.

Even the well-informed Beibei still had no idea what coffee was.

Thus, the extremely curious Tang Ya directly pulled the other two with her, intending to take a look.

"Teacher Tang Ya, slow down! The soup in my hands is going to spill!"

"It's fine. If it spills, just make sure it spills on Senior Brother Beibei."

Beibei: Tang Ya, poet that you are, I accept.

"Where's the boss? Where is he?"

After arriving at the stall, Tang Ya looked around for a while, only to discover that there was actually no one serving at the counter.

Could it be that the stall was still being renovated and had not opened for business yet?

Thinking this, Tang Ya could not help revealing a disappointed expression. She had wanted to taste what coffee was like.

"The boss is right here."

Just as Tang Ya was about to turn and leave, Bai Ran stood on a stool and appeared behind the counter.

"Why are you here?"

Seeing that familiar face, Tang Ya was extremely puzzled.

Wasn't this the child she and Beibei had met last week?

Now that he was here, could this stall have been opened by Ye Tian, Master Ye?

At that thought, Tang Ya's interest instantly soared.

Especially after tasting Master Ye's cooking last time, Tang Ya had been savoring that wonderful flavor almost every moment.

If Beibei had not said that eating a "food supplement" after breaking through to level forty would have a better effect,

Tang Ya would already have been unable to resist using the "food supplement" slot Master Ye had given her last time.
