Chapter 1360 We’re Not Short on Money
"Boss, check please!"
After almost finishing all the dishes on the table, Xia Chupeng stood up, looked at the chubby boss in front of him, and said, planning to pay and take the kids to another restaurant.
"Not bad, the taste is quite good." Song Liao also felt quite satisfied with the food, acknowledging that the flavors there were indeed commendable.
"Yes, indeed, it was pretty good."
"Didn’t expect to find this flavor here."
"It’s alright, quite tasty."
...
The kids nodded and commented from the side, acknowledging that the taste was indeed not bad. Although it wasn’t as delicious as what Lin Feng cooked, the variety won over, and many things they hadn’t tasted before, making the first experience rather pleasing.
At this moment, the chubby Huang San came over, grinning, and said to Xia Chupeng and Song Liao, "As long as you’re satisfied, we’d be happy to have you back again. The total is sixty-eight thousand yuan, thank you for your patronage!"
He then took out a bill and handed it to Xia Chupeng and Song Liao, but they didn’t take it at all, neither did they have any of the Secular World’s currency, but they had gold, so they planned to pay with gold.
Just as they were about to take out the gold, one of the kids stepped forward, directly taking the bill from Huang San’s hand, feeling the price was simply outrageous. They ate only ordinary seafood, the kind available at the market, so how could it possibly be so expensive?
The other kids’ expressions also changed at this time, as they also felt this shop was too much of a rip-off. They had eaten those things before, and they only cost ten or twenty yuan a plate. Even if it was a hundred plates, it should only amount to several thousand at most, how could it be sixty-eight thousand yuan?
So the kids all turned their attention to the bill, wanting to see why it was so expensive...
The kids’ actions immediately caught Xia Chupeng and Song Liao’s attention. Obviously, the kids’ behavior was very unusual, making them want to know what was wrong, so the two asked the kids from the side.
"What’s the matter, is there something wrong?"
"What’s with you guys?"
The two of them didn’t understand the Secular World’s pricing, but seeing the kids’ odd expressions, they roughly guessed that there might be an issue with the price, they were just seeking confirmation from the kids.
"Of course there’s a problem, like this spicy stir-fried clams, it’s the simplest dish available at roadside stalls, ten yuan a big plate. How does it become three hundred eighty-eight here? And this braised hairtail, which should normally be thirty or forty yuan a plate, becomes four hundred sixty-eight here? And..."
The kids started dissecting the prices on the menu one by one, getting increasingly astonished the more they looked. They finally realized why the bill was so exorbitantly high; this place was simply a rip-off joint. Regular dishes priced at ten yuan elsewhere were costing several dozen times more here, what else could this be but a scam!
"What, daring to extort us?"
"Ridiculous!"
Hearing the kids’ words, Xia Chupeng and Song Liao were instantly furious. They didn’t expect to encounter a scam shop, and after saying this coldly, they were both filled with killing intent, as intense hostility emanated from them. In their world, ordinary people who dared to extort cultivators simply didn’t exist. Today, they encountered it, and money was of no consequence; it was this indignation that they couldn’t swallow. If this news got back to the Sect, how could they face others?
"Don’t act yet!"
"You can’t act!"
"Hold them back!"
...
The kids saw Xia Chupeng and Song Liao about to take action and immediately became anxious. Teacher Lin had said before that people shouldn’t be killed casually in the Secular World, so the kids quickly restrained the two, not wanting to cause trouble in the Secular World.
"Why stop us, these people are just ants!"
"Don’t stop us!"
Seeing the children like this, Xia Chupeng and Song Liao were instantly furious. They couldn’t understand why the children were holding them back. Aren’t they just a few mortals from the Secular World? Killing them is no big deal.
"So what, you want to fight? Pretty gutsy!" Huang San, overhearing these young men wanting to fight, changed his previously cheerful face to one with a sinister sneer aimed at Xia Chupeng and Song Liao. After speaking, he clapped his hands, and immediately, four thugs holding weapons came running out from the back kitchen.
To Huang San, Xia Chupeng and Song Liao were just ordinary young people, and to even think of making a move here was utterly suicidal. He had his own thugs, specially hired for money, and no half-grown kids were going to run wild here.
"Quickly, give us the money!"
"If you don’t pay, don’t blame us for being rude!"
"Three counts, if you don’t pay, we’ll break your legs!"
...
The four thugs shouted in unison. They’ve been through many such situations, and scaring people into handing over money usually isn’t too troubling. People are generally cheap—to get them to pay up, you have to press them!
Xia Chupeng and Song Liao saw Huang San being so arrogant, and they were fuming inside. When had any mortals dared to act this way in front of them? Killing these people would be as easy as crushing an ant. How dare they threaten them? It was indeed suicidal!
With this in mind, their expressions turned cold, ready to strike at once. But just as they were about to make a move, a voice suddenly came from the door.
"You two, hold it!"
Lin Feng then entered from outside, leading Xia Lalan and Xia Jianping Xia Jianwu, and looked at Xia Chupeng and Song Liao, his complexion a bit displeased. He understood their mindset, but this was Earth, and they had to follow Earth’s rules.
"Mr. Lin, why are you stopping us? Such people deserve to be killed!"
"Exactly, Mr. Lin, mortals from the Secular World, kill them as deserved. How dare they threaten us?"
Looking at Lin Feng, the two spoke furiously. They were truly enraged, never imagining that mortals would dare to threaten them—they couldn’t swallow this anger.
"Since you’re here, you must abide by the rules here. This is no longer the cultivators’ world. Although we possess power, we can’t casually kill. If you really kill them, then I’ll kill you!" Lin Feng said to Xia Chupeng and Song Liao blandly, understanding what they were thinking. Lin Feng didn’t want to say too much to them; just making them shut up was enough.
Xia Chupeng and Song Liao hadn’t expected Lin Feng to say this, and instantly they froze, standing in place not daring to move. If Lin Feng said he’d kill them, he definitely could. If they really angered Lin Feng, things wouldn’t end well for them.
Seeing the two remain motionless, Lin Feng thought briefly, then supplemented their understanding using Divine Sense: "Of course, if you do encounter some special situation, like criminals or the like, killing is permissible. But right now it’s unnecessary; there are better ways to handle them without initiating a killing spree!"
After hearing Lin Feng’s words, the two somewhat understood, but still felt there was no need to be polite with these ordinary people. Yet Lin Feng had spoken up to this point, so they dared not say anything further and could only obediently stand by.
Though they didn’t move, Huang San was displeased and mocked Lin Feng’s group: "Oh wow, are you all putting on a show here? That was quite the performance. But stop showing off here, just fork over the money, or none of you will get out!"
Huang San was enraged inwardly, thinking to himself that these people were speaking like they were filming a movie. Where did these brainless individuals come from? How can they not see the situation and not know to pay?
Hearing Huang San still shouting, Xia Chupeng and Song Liao turned red with anger, but since Lin Feng forbade them from acting, they could only glare furiously from the side. Xia Lalan and the children were also angry at this moment, thinking this chubby boss was seeking his own demise. Even after narrowly escaping a deadly fate, he still didn’t understand. Now, they were curious about how Lin Feng would deal with this annoying boss.
"Why are you all standing? Sit down; it’s time to eat! You need energy to continue your journey!" At this moment, Lin Feng naturally sat down and casually spoke. After speaking, he picked up a remaining piece of seafood from the plate, tried it, and found the taste surprisingly good. He then said to Huang San standing by: "The taste is quite nice; keep it coming. Serve freely, I assume you all haven’t had enough. Everyone, sit down and eat freely, don’t worry about the money."
The children next to him heard Teacher Lin saying this and immediately sat down without hesitation. Xia Lalan seemed to understand a little about what Lin Feng intended to do and sat beside him. Meanwhile, Xia Chupeng and Song Liao were extremely confused; despite this being a black establishment, why continue to dine here? But since Lin Feng and others had taken seats, they could only sit angrily as well.
"You haven’t settled the previous bill, yet you want to keep eating? Do you have money?" Huang San was bewildered at this point. Knowing clearly it’s a black establishment, why continue dining? His concern now was whether these people could pay their bill, fearing they intended to dine and dash!
"No worries, we’re not short of money. Just serve according to your prices, serve freely. We have so many people here; we need to eat our fill. Once we’re full, I’ll naturally settle up. With all this money here, no need to worry!" Lin Feng said to Huang San with a smile, casually tossing a stack of 500-Euro notes onto the table, then smiling at Huang San.
"500-Euro notes!" Huang San’s eyes went straight when he saw Lin Feng throwing that stack onto the table. Coincidentally, he had traveled to Europe before and used 500-Euro notes, so he recognized them at once. He was thrilled inside; this stack must be 50,000 Euros. If all that came his way, he’d be rich! He didn’t expect to encounter such a super fat sheep today; if not slaughtered, it’d be letting himself down!
Thinking this, he immediately smiled and said to Lin Feng’s group: "If you’d done this sooner, everything would have been fine, no need for unpleasantness. Just wait, the dishes will be up soon!"
After speaking, he immediately ran back to the kitchen to arrange things, busy as ever. 50,000 Euros—he’d never seen such a big business deal before, how could he not be excited? He even joined the waitstaff in bringing out dishes afterward!
