Chapter 555 - 47: The Mockery Incident
The Mainland Elite Camp is divided into two campuses, north and south; the south hosts the Magic Elite Camp, and the north hosts the Martial Artist Elite Camp.
There is a Central Town in between where the daily trade and miscellaneous purchases of trainees from both sides are carried out.
However, within the two campuses, there are their respective common areas, and the cafeterias of the campuses are located here as well.
Besides the cafeteria, there are also on-campus clinics, and the Elder Councils are situated in this area too.
The residence of the Dark Gold Master is quite secluded, it took Yun Sheng nearly half an hour to get there.
By now, both were ravenous, so without the extra desire to wander around, they headed straight for the Central Cafeteria.
"Thanks to you yesterday, I was able to stay. Today, I’ll treat you," said Donghuang Lingling, who felt much more relaxed after last night’s events.
Back in the Eastern Capital, even though she held the aura of a Princess, she didn’t have a single person to talk to by her side. Things were different with Yun Sheng around, who didn’t care about her royal status at all, which made Donghuang Lingling even happier.
The Central Cafeteria is a square-shaped, ivory-colored building with three floors. The first floor is for trainees, the second for instructors, and the top floor houses the camp’s clinic.
Approaching the Central Cafeteria, rows of tables and chairs come into view, with foreign Mages and Martial Artists of various hair colors dining inside.
At this hour, it’s just after the Mages and Martial Artists finish their morning meditation and training, their appetites are hearty, and the Central Cafeteria is bustling with people.
In the cafeteria, the thick aroma of meat and various fruits and vegetables fills the air.
"As expected of the Elite Camp, there’s indeed a variety of dishes. There’s so much Demon Beast Meat and rare fruits and vegetables, even more abundant than in the Eastern Capital," Donghuang Lingling says, a hint of sorrow in her brows.
The current situation in the Eastern Capital is something only she knows.
Even though she is a Princess of the Donghuang Dynasty, the life in the Imperial Palace nowadays has declined compared to the past, and even the food has been downscaled.
Shaking her head, she temporarily casts aside those unpleasant thoughts.
This was Donghuang Lingling’s first time dining with so many people, and her beautiful eyes looked around curiously, finding everything new and exciting.
Yun Sheng felt like he had lived two lives, and suddenly he was back to his university student days in the cafeteria, though the food in the Central Cafeteria was much richer.
Since the Elite Camp has over ten thousand people, combining new and old trainees as well as instructors from all over the continent, the cafeteria caters to the diverse cuisines to satisfy their food preferences, thus offering a rich variety of dishes across several counters.
What’s most astonishing is that the food here is unseen on the outside market, selling items that astound warrior and Mage across the continent.
For example, they just passed a small barbecue stand called Penglai Barbecue, which boasts a Seventh-tier Savage Mad Bull on display.
The cooks and chefs here are all at least Martial Venerate or Magic Master Level Mages.
That’s an entire Savage Mad Bull! If an average Martial Artist saw it, they would probably turn tail and run, let alone eat it.
And at several other counters, the stir-fry dishes on offer were actually made with Holy-level Medicinal Herbs.
No wonder, after all, what is the Mainland Elite Camp? It’s a gathering place of geniuses.
In order to make these geniuses grow faster, the intensity of their daily training is astonishingly high, and correspondingly, their diet is equally extraordinary.
Of course, the prices for High-level Demon Beast Meat and Holy-level Medicinal Herbs are also high, starting at Imperial Purple Gold Coins.
The backgrounds of Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling are not to be underestimated either, but even they were amazed by the prices.
"No wonder people say that geniuses are built with money; the tuition for the Mainland Elite Camp is free, but the cost of living is astonishing," Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling come from reputable families, and Yun Sheng could even be considered a little rich girl, but even so, they couldn’t help but click their tongues at such luxurious food.
"It’s no trouble, I said I would treat, so let’s go and have some Demon Beast roasted meat," Donghuang Lingling blinked and pulled Yun Sheng towards one of the windows.
Little did Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling know, just as they arrived at a window, several haughty girls came over, among them was Chen Lianlian.
Upon seeing Yun Sheng, Chen Lianlian didn’t hesitate to buy all of the roasted meat.
Seeing this, Yun Sheng glanced at the roasted meat and leisurely walked to another stall, where she secretly lifted her sleeve, sending a breeze and a wisp of powder falling onto the fruits and vegetables before her.
True to form, Chen Lianlian came over again and bought everything up.
Donghuang Lingling couldn’t take it anymore, "Hey, who do you think you are? Looking for trouble, are you?"
"So what if I am looking for trouble? You two are merely at the cultivation of Magic Masters, and you dare to dine in the central cafeteria? Even the kitchen maids here are stronger than you," Donghuang Lingling scoffed, as her cultivation was seen to be merely at the Magic Master level.
No sooner had she spoken than the mages standing beside Donghuang Lingling all burst into laughter.
Only then did Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling realize that within the whole central cafeteria, their cultivation was indeed the lowest.
Donghuang Lingling’s effects from the Forbidden Medicine had worn off, and Yun Sheng was using the Soul Stone of the Night Charm Queen to mask her true cultivation level; among all the mages present, their cultivation was indeed the lowest.
The Mainland Elite Camp is the concentration camp for the strong.
Here, family background, looks, and wealth are not barriers, but strength is incredibly dominant.
In the eyes of Chen Lianlian and the group of mages, Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling were like ants at the very bottom of the Elite Camp.
Their mocking laughter was incessant. Donghuang Lingling’s eyes reddened, she bowed her head and clenched the Magic Wand in her hand tightly.
The three Magic Soul Stones on top of it were glaringly conspicuous.
After the effects of the Forbidden Medicine faded, she also removed the fake fourth Soul Stone that was there.
All the mages and Martial Artists present began to jeer.
These people were unaware that Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling were the mage newcomers who had become famous in the academy just the day before.
"Look at that, two pieces of trash daring to come to the central cafeteria, not sure what backdoor they used to get in,"
"They probably got in just because they have pretty faces,"
Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Chen Lianlian laughed even more smugly, "Let me tell you, the central cafeteria also has its own hierarchy, and you two only deserve to drink porridge."
With that said, two bowls of porridge were thrown towards Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling.
The porridge splattered and spread all over the floor.
Donghuang Lingling’s face flushed with anger, she picked up the porridge and was about to smash it onto Chen Lianlian’s face.
"Lingling," Yun Sheng gave her a look. She glanced at the triumphant Chen Lianlian and then at the mages by her side, "Chen Lianlian, remember what you said today. Maybe one day, you won’t even get to drink a bowl of decent porridge."
Yun Sheng pulled Donghuang Lingling to the side amidst the crowd’s mocking laughter, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly, a sly smile flickering across momentarily.
