Chapter 58: Could order just the ’urine’ part?
A rich aroma, as if it could hook the soul, slowly began to spread in the restaurant.
"What is this, why does it smell so good?"
Not long after the headless ghosts left, Edward sniffed hard, his face full of astonishment.
The scent was simply too tempting, as if it were something inherently missing from the depths of the soul.
Edward wanted to get up and see what it was that was so enticing just from its aroma.
But in the end, he restrained himself.
He, Edward, has been acting pretentious for two lifetimes, and was even nicknamed by the ghosts as the King of Pretentiousness in the Fierce Ghost Apartment.
He couldn’t possibly lose his composure over a simple dish!
"Ghost King, this is fresh out of the pot Urinating Beef Balls, would you like to try some?" Alexander’s voice rang in his ear, and in front of him was a ghost chef, holding a bowl of steaming balls.
"Yes! Yes!" Edward responded subconsciously, then realized something was amiss, sat upright, coughed lightly, and said:
"Bring it up, let me taste it!"
The chef ghost hurriedly brought it up.
Edward first elegantly tasted a mouthful of the soup and was immediately enlightened.
Delicious, indescribably delicious! More delicious and sweet than type O blood.
He picked up a beef ball slightly smaller than an egg.
Indeed, these balls were a bit large, and only two could fit in a large soup bowl.
He took a bite, and his frowned brows relaxed, not caring about his composure, he began to eat in big bites.
However, when he bit into the middle of the ball, and the filling about the size of a little finger, he was completely stunned.
What kind of heavenly experience was this, it was too delicious!
After eating two balls and a big bowl of soup, Edward finally regained his composure, took out a napkin, and while wiping his mouth, he said:
"The taste is acceptable, I didn’t expect you to be a good cook, and you did a good job!"
"This is all thanks to the old manager! It’s delicious because the shrimp meat inside is special!"
Alexander was not one to take credit, and without thinking he replied: "It’s all thanks to the old manager, who exchanged his life for the big lobster!"
"Charles? He really was a good manager! Such a talent, it’s a pity, really a pity! If there were more ghosts like Manager Charles..."
The atmosphere turned a little somber...
Edward glanced sadly at the bowl in front of him, as if he could see his old manager’s face and hear his voice.
He sighed deeply and regretfully said, "If there were more ghosts like this, wouldn’t we be able to exchange for more big lobsters like this!"
After saying that, he couldn’t help but smack his lips, unsatisfied.
Damn it!
The ghost chef standing next to him suddenly stumbled and almost didn’t keep his balance.
It was over, there was no chance of getting revenge in this lifetime!
Not to mention he hadn’t personally seen Alexander harm the manager, what difference would evidence make?
Even if Manager Charles was saved, it’s estimated that the Ghost King would exchange him for a big lobster at the first opportunity.
"What smells so good! Bring it to me!"
Just as the ghost chef was in despair, a voice rang out.
A hulking man over one meter ninety walked in, with a dark red steel bar sticking out of the center of his head, with black energy flowing on it.
It was a murderous ghost!
It’s a killer ghost!
Clearly, this guy was also used to being domineering. He didn’t even take two steps inside the door before he kicked over the trash can next to the table and angrily said, "Where are the people? Didn’t see... Ghost King!"
Halfway through his words, his gaze landed on Edward, who was sitting at the table staring at him!
His legs went soft, and he immediately knelt down.
His movements were very practiced, and he immediately said, "Ghost King, please spare me, I didn’t know you were here, I deserve to die, I deserve to die!"
"No worries, everyone who comes into the store is a customer, just pretend I don’t exist!" Edward still maintained his detached, but pretentious demeanor, and said generously.
He was generous, but the burly man dared not be presumptuous anymore.
He didn’t dare to turn around and leave, so he hastily got up and found a seat to sit down.
"Customer, here is the dish you ordered!" Alexander called over Jessica and instructed her to bring over a bowl of beef balls.
Before she even reached the table, the burly man stood up and nervously reached out to receive it, "Thank you, thank you, I can do it myself, I can do it myself!"
Clearly, he was frightened by Edward.
But smelling that aroma, he couldn’t help but pick up the spoon and prepare to try it.
"Customer, let’s be clear first, this bowl of Urinating Beef Balls is 500 ghost coins!" Alexander’s voice eerily rang out.
"Five hundred? Is this a rip-off? Can balls even urinate?" The burly man was about to slam the table.
Five hundred ghost coins!
A resentful spirit wouldn’t see so many ghost coins in a lifetime! For evil spirits without a sub-dungeon, it’s also an astronomical figure.
Even for fierce ghosts, and those with ghost lord status, apart from those helped by Alexander, they could earn about 500 to 1000 from a sub-dungeon once. Making 2000 a month would satisfy most fierce ghosts.
Five hundred ghost coins, even for a fierce ghost, they have never been this extravagant for a meal!
And this is just one dish, and there are only two balls.
Something that’s worth less than ten ghost coins is being sold for five hundred!
This is not just about being greedy, this is absurd!
However, just as he was about to slam his hand down on the table, he saw the Ghost King next to Alexander, and instantly chickened out. He gritted his teeth and pulled out the ghost coins, saying:
"Pay first! Five hundred, not expensive at all, well worth it!"
Clearly, the burly man thought this was Alexander’s intentional act, asking him to apologize for his previous rudeness.
Despite having already tasted the delicious beef balls, even Edward had the same thought as the burly man. He nodded approvingly at Alexander.
Alexander knew he had misunderstood, and explained, "This bowl really is five hundred, the same price for everyone, it’s not expensive!"
Not expensive, my foot!
This is obviously a rip-off!
The burly man cursed inwardly. Two balls and a bowl of soup, five hundred ghost coins, had they lost their minds?
With a trembling hand, he carefully scooped up a ball with the spoon.
In the past, with his build, he was rather rough. A super-sized hamburger, he could finish more than half in three bites.
With a chicken leg, it would only be a few bites before he was sucking on the bone.
But these were balls that cost two hundred and fifty each, they had to be savored!
As he bit into it, the burly man was instantly stunned, as if struck by lightning.
The never-before-tasted deliciousness was intoxicating.
More importantly, as soon as he took a bite, the ghost energy in his body actually started to increase.
In the ghost realm, everything comes from ghosts. Eating can indeed increase power, and it’s the main method for most ghosts to gain power.
But that’s a result of years and months of accumulation.
Moreover, usually, once you’ve eaten something that contains a large amount of ghost energy, it’s as if you have indigestion. It takes quite some time to absorb the external ghost energy.
But this ball was directly absorbed without any obstacles, as if the energy was his own.
It seems it might not be such a rip-off after all!
However, this was just the beginning. The most important thing was, he hadn’t even eaten the shrimp meat in the middle of the ball yet.
A few minutes later, the burly man licked the soup off his lips and waved Jessica over.
"Customer... is there anything else you need?" Jessica was somewhat nervous. After all, in her eyes, the price of five hundred was indeed outrageous.
"Don’t be nervous, I just want to ask a question... this is called Urinating Beef Balls, right?"
Seeing Jessica nod, the burly man hesitantly asked,
"That is... Do you have... what I mean is, this Urinating Beef Balls... can I order just... the urine part?"
Jessica was dumbfounded!
Who was she? Where was this?
Did a ghost just ask her if they could order just the ’urine’ part?
