The Virtual Universe Company Headquarters located on Yuxiang Island, mainland China.
Yuxiang Island and Thunder Island are both extremely special places on the continent where the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters.
These correspond to Yuxiang Mountain and Thunder Mountain in the Virtual Universe, although in reality their status is far inferior to that in the Virtual Universe.
Lu Qingshan Teleportation to the outside of an antique-style building on the core street of Yuxiang Island.
The entrance to this three-story building bears a sign with the words " Hundred Flavors Pavilion).
Ling Xi has been moving the headquarters of the Hundred Flavors Pavilion to the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters on the mainland for many years, and this is the first time Lu Qingshan has visited this place in reality.
The shop was crowded with customers.
They sat in small groups, eating and chatting; most of them were guests above the level of Immortal God.
Very few guests are below the Immortal, after all, the food here is very expensive. A plate of vegetables costs millions of Universe Coin, and some precious wines and dishes even require Hunyuan Unit to be priced. Even geniuses from the Virtual Universe Company rarely have the means to afford it.
Of course, for Immortal God, occasional spending is acceptable, after all, joining the Virtual Universe Company as a formal member comes with pretty good benefits.
"Have you heard? In this World Lord Qualification Tournament, Prince Mordor of the Primal Secret Region Realm has once again won first place."
"Yes, Prince Mordor is incredibly strong. I know his Guard Army, and everyone says Mordor trains extremely hard."
" August also performed very well, actually defeating Starlight and taking second place. I remember in the last competition, he was ranked in the lower middle, I didn't expect him to improve so quickly in just ten eras."
" Starlight is an idol to many people, and they're probably heartbroken this time. Starlight has improved a lot, but the others have improved even more!"
" Ling Yu is also very powerful. She defeated many elders from the Primal Secret Region and is said to have the strength to Heavenly Bridge."
" Ling Yu is the real genius; she'll probably reach the top in the next Qualification Battle."
"Yes! I heard that Hundred Flavors Pavilion is Ling Yu's sister's restaurant."
The restaurant was naturally filled with gossip. Those who patronized the restaurant were mostly official members of the Virtual Universe Company, with diverse sources of information. They could hear news that was difficult to obtain elsewhere.
The Primal Secret Region Member are the top geniuses of the Virtual Universe Company, so naturally many people pay attention to their activities.
"Has Grandmaster Qingshan not given a lecture in a long time?"
Another voice came.
Lu Qingshan looked up and saw another table of guests, all of whom were Immortal God.
" Nan Hui is incredibly lucky. He was actually accepted as a disciple by Grandmaster Qingshan while attending a lecture. His strength was about the same as mine before, but now he's probably close to Marquis."
"That kid Nan Hui is really lucky. I've already told him to let me know in advance when Grandmaster Qingshan gives his next lecture. I'll definitely ask for leave to come to the Initial Universe to attend. Maybe..."
Really? Don't forget to let me know then.
"No problem."
Listening to the people's discussion, Lu Qingshan subtly changed his appearance before going inside.
"Sir, how many are in your party?"
As soon as I entered, a beautiful fox-woman waitress quickly came to greet me, her smile pleasing to the eye.
"Gentlemen, could I have a quiet private room?"
Lu Qingshan casually took out a gold card.
Upon seeing the card, the beautiful fox-woman waitress's eyes widened in surprise.
She had seen what the card looked like during her pre-part-time training. The experienced staff who trained them specifically reminded them that those who possessed the Hundred Flavors Pavilion Gold Card were the most distinguished guests at the Hundred Flavors Pavilion, and all their purchases there were free.
The food at the Hundred Flavors Pavilion is incredibly expensive, yet all purchases here are free, which shows the value of this gold card.
"Sir... the private room number one on the third floor is still available. I'll take you there."
The fox girl's white, fluffy tail trembled slightly, her excitement barely concealed.
"Um."
Lu Qingshan smiled and walked upstairs. The fox-woman waitress quickly followed, secretly observing this important figure from behind.
"Could this be a powerful King Rank from the Virtual Universe Company?"
She secretly wondered what was going on in her mind.
Working part-time at the Hundred Flavors Pavilion, she naturally had extraordinary experience. Even some famous, Marquis Immortal God figures didn't have any special privileges here. Only a few regular customers could get a 10% discount.
But this person, she had never seen before...
He must be a powerful King Rank; we must serve him well.
The fox-woman quickly followed, thoughtfully opening the door to the private room. Only after Lu Qingshan was seated did she take out an exquisite menu.
"No need to look anymore, just bring one of each of our signature dishes, and another bottle of God's Intoxication," Lu Qingshan said, gesturing with his hand.
The fox-woman put away the menu and nodded hurriedly, "Yes, sir, I'll have someone arrange it right away."
"You can leave now; I don't need anyone else to serve me."
The fox-woman felt a little disappointed. She bowed and prepared to leave, but as she looked up again, a golden fruit suddenly flew over.
She quickly caught it.
"Consider this fruit your tip."
"Thank you, sir."
The fox-woman happily accepted the fruit, then respectfully withdrew from the private room.
The food at the Hundred Flavors Pavilion was served quite quickly. Lu Qingshan waited for about ten minutes before one of their signature dishes was brought to the table.
He sipped his wine and enjoyed the food.
You get what you pay for.
The food at the Hundred Flavors Pavilion here is clearly much more upscale than that at the Hundred Flavors Pavilion in Ganwu City; the ingredients are on a completely different level. Although it can't compare to what Ling Xi makes herself, it's still quite satisfactory for Lu Qingshan.
No wonder Hundred Flavors Pavilion's dishes and rice are so expensive, yet it still has so many customers every day.
Once you've tasted the food here, you'll probably never forget it.
Just as Lu Qingshan was leisurely enjoying his meal...
The lobby is on the first floor.
The fox-woman stood at the door, somewhat lost in thought, searching in the Virtual Universe for what that fruit she had just seen was.
But after searching for a long time, I still couldn't find anything.
No result is actually the best result, since with her authority, some precious treasures certainly cannot be found.
" Tu Qingsu, did you just serve a gold card customer?"
"Yes, that important person is dining in VIP room number one, and he said he wouldn't allow anyone else to serve him."
Approaching us was a woman with a very commanding presence.
"Hmm... did that guest say anything? Or anything to you?"
The woman asked.
"Manager Ruyan, the customer didn't say anything, but he gave me this as a tip."
The fox woman took out the golden fruit from before, feeling a little uneasy, afraid that it would be stolen.
Ruyan at the golden fruit, Ru Yan wasn't surprised. She smiled and said, " Tu Qingsu, you're lucky. You've only been working part-time at the Hundred Flavors Pavilion for a year, and you've already met such a generous person. This is Goldfish Fruit, worth about two Hunyuan. If your bank level isn't high enough, I can help you sell it."
"Two Hunyuan!"
Tu Qingsu was overjoyed.
Oh my god.
She was a second-tier elite of Virtual Universe Company. By chance, she came to the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters on the mainland to cultivate. Unexpectedly, while doing a part-time job, she was rewarded by a customer with two precious treasures of the Hunyuan Unit.
Two Hunyuan...
Even if you sold her entire family, you probably wouldn't be able to raise that much wealth.
"Manager Ruyan, then... I'll leave it to you."
Tu Qingsu felt like she was dreaming, filled with surprise and a touch of worry.
Seeing Ruyan, Ruyan smiled faintly, "Don't worry, I wouldn't dare to embezzle anything that person has bestowed upon me, even if I had a hundred lives."
"Manager Ruyan, that's not what I meant. Who is that person...?" Tu Qingsu asked cautiously.
"That's not something you should be concerned with. Get back to work."
"Yes."
Back in her office, Ruyan found it difficult to calm down.
Over the years, she has been helping Ling Xi manage Crisp Moon Workshop and Hundred Flavors Pavilion.
Then, following Ling Xi's ride, they arrived at the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters on the mainland. Thanks to the subsidiary affiliated with him, he became a member of the Apocalypse Mystic Region and was able to enter the Yuxiang Mountain in the Virtual Universe.
We've arrived here.
I've learned some information.
Only then did she realize just how terrifying the Lord Qingshan, with whom she had previously made a deal at the Treasure Pavilion, truly was.
Grandmaster Qingshan!
Myriad Laws King!
He was one of the most powerful King Rank among Human Race, and he had immense prestige even in the Initial Universe.
She persuaded Ling Xi to join the Virtual Universe Company, partly for the development of Crisp Moon Workshop, and partly to elevate her own social circle through this path.
But I only realized this when I got here.
The ceiling of her life's benefactors had already appeared before her all along.
"Lord Qingshan said not to disturb us, so it's best not to go and pay your respects. Ling Xi is Lord Qingshan's disciple, and I work here; I'll see him again sooner or later."
Ruyan hesitated for a long time before giving up her plan to visit him now.
Enjoyable times always pass quickly.
Three days later, Ling Yu, dressed in a light purple dress and with long, flowing hair, appeared in the private room.
"Master, what brings you here?"
Ling Yu sat down opposite Lu Qingshan, picked up the wine pot, and filled Lu Qingshan's wine cup with fine wine.
"I called you over because I have something to say."
Lu Qingshan slowly took a bite of his food before asking, "How's your practice of the Eight Fists of the Thunder Beast going?"
Speaking of cultivation, Ling Yu's expression turned serious. "Teacher, the First Layer of the Eight Fists of the Thunder Beast has already reached its peak."
How long until we reach the First Layer perfection?
Lu Qingshan then asked.
"I don't know." Ling Yu shook his head. "It might be thousands of years, it might be tens of thousands of years. This disciple cannot guarantee it. Master, you have cultivated the ' Eight Fists of the Thunder Beast ', you should know that this secret technique is too difficult. Although this disciple is Black Warrior and has some talent for Fusion Law, it is still extremely difficult to reach the First Layer perfection."
" Ling Yu, I now have an opportunity for you to cultivate the Eight Fists of the Thunder Beast to the First Layer perfection, or even the Second Layer of entry, within a few years. Are you willing to give it a try?"
Lu Qingshan asked with a smile.
"Teacher... you're not joking with your disciple, are you?" Ling Yu was shocked and incredulous.
How difficult the Eight Fists of the Thunder Beast is can only be known after one has practiced it. Even the White Ape King, who was at the peak of the Third Layer, asserted that it would take him at least several thousand years to perfect the First Layer.
But now, the teacher says that within a few years, one can advance to the First Layer of perfection, or even enter the Second Layer.
this...
She had absolutely no idea what to say!
"When have I ever boasted? This time, I obtained a good opportunity while I was away, and after much thought, I realized that you need it the most..." As he spoke, he took out the Snow Demon Flower to examine it. "You can search for the uses of this treasure."
Ling Yu is Primal Secret Region Member and a personal disciple of the Chaos City Lord, granting her extremely high authority.
Soon, she found the same treasure in the Human Race Treasury.
Looking at the long string of numbers in front of the points, she couldn't help but gasp. "Teacher, this... this is too valuable."
"One trillion points!"
Ling Yu was shocked.
Even if her other teacher, Spirit Charm King, were to go bankrupt, she probably couldn't come up with that many points.
Even the Invincible King mentor, the White Ape King, wouldn't be able to come up with so many points if he didn't sell his True Treasure.
The teacher is so rich!
