150 Chapter 103 Rich and Generous_1
They were still looking for a way to get into the City Lord's Mansion... n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Meanwhile, Lu Ran had already been actively invited by the City Lord's Mansion...
Bai Ling and the others instantly felt off-balance, a player on a cheat mode, huh!
Fortunately, the opposing attributes of this Secret Realm were not very strong, otherwise, they really wouldn't know how to outplay Lu Ran.
Their gazes towards Bai Ling were meaningful, as if to say, Sister White Tiger, the fact that Passerby A was on top of you must have been for a reason; this guy is really abnormal.
"Tch!" Bai Ling still wasn't convinced. Now, she had suppressed Pluto at the Number Five Infinite City, but she hadn't had a PK with Passerby A after her strength was enhanced, and she had always wanted to figure out his full strength.
She wondered if she would have the chance to witness it in this Breakthrough Secret Realm...
"That's that then... The five of us will have to figure out something on our own," said Passerby A with a bitter face, not wanting to miss this opportunity.
Sometimes, the side quests that Trialists uncover on their own in the Breakthrough Secret Realm might yield greater rewards than the breakthrough tasks themselves!
That's the charm of the Breakthrough Secret Realm.
Some members of the Official Guide Group even intentionally keep their level low, deliberately failing the breakthrough tasks just to be able to keep exploring the Secret Realm world. Of course... doing so, the risks also grow bigger and bigger.
After all, one who always walks by the river cannot help getting their shoes wet.
"Why don't you guys ask Manager Tong for advice?" suggested Lu Ran.
"Let's go, let's ask Manager Tong then," Bai Ling rallied, now acting like the spiritual leader of the four, as before Lu Ran revealed his identity, she was the strongest among them.
"Good luck to you guys."
Soon after, Lu Ran saw them off... and when they were gone, he let out a sigh of relief and continued to lie down to rest.
Sleep, sleep, and continue practicing in the afternoon, as long as it doesn't kill, keep training as hard as possible.
...
That same afternoon.
A man and a dog continued with a flash of knives and swords in the kitchen.
One fruit after another hovered in mid-air, awaiting the favor of the cooking equipment.
This small process involved Energy Release controlled by Wind and Energy Release preserving Sword Intent, and he was practicing both.
What Lu Ran didn't know at the moment was that the batch of fruit platters he had cut at noon had already become legendary in Ningchuan City.
The major Beast Training Families of Ningchuan City were all aware that Frost Moon Tower had received a chef who mastered a special Cooking Intent and would occasionally cut a fruit platter to give as a complimentary gift to customers.
What kind of marketing tactic was this? Many powers speculated.
22:04
A handsome young man nibbled on grapes, murmuring, "Dad, I've found out that the chef who makes the fruit platters isn't an old master from Frost Moon Tower, but is actually very young and has only recently started learning at Frost Moon Tower!"
"The fruit he cuts is really delicious, probably because he possesses some kind of Ice and Snow Cooking Intent. Just one bite had me blown away. When are we going to have a chef with a Cooking Intent in our house!"
"I made a special request to Manager Tong to have this young chef in charge of preparing the fruit for cooling off for the grand banquet in two days. You are always talking about talent; maybe there will be a chance to invite him to the City Lord's Mansion to be a chef," the young man added.
"That will be difficult!"
The Ningchuan City Lord, with his hands behind his back, gazed at a painting on the wall and said, "Those with Cooking Intent may not necessarily be able to cook very rare dishes, but without Cooking Intent, one definitely cannot cook extraordinary dishes."
"Such a person wouldn't stay long in Tsunami Province, let alone our City Lord's Mansion," he continued.
"Is money not an option?" asked the young scion of the City Lord's Mansion.
"We'll talk about that when the time comes," replied the Ningchuan City Lord.
Unfortunately, Lu Ran was unaware of this conversation, otherwise, he would certainly be willing to "sell himself," and for a "high price" at that!
And he would feel fortunate that people in the Breakthrough Secret Realm were so understanding and cooperative!
As long as the resources were in place, Lu Ran, drifting throughout his life... would be willing to become a chef.
After all, once the 30 days passed, it would all vanish like clouds and smoke, leaving no trace.
The Ningchuan City Lord turned to his son, "Stop worrying about eating, I will hold a grand breakthrough banquet. As my son, you must showcase your abilities, and whether or not you can maintain our family's honor depends on you," he said.
"Don't worry," said the handsome young man. "In the younger generation of Tsunami Province, do you not know my strength?"
"With a move of my hand, I will absolutely overwhelm all the others!"
The Ningchuan City Lord's breakthrough to level five, becoming one of the few high-tier Beast Trainers in the Tsunami Province, was also big news, and countless invitations were sent out, with various powers sending people to congratulate.
As the most famous restaurant in Tsunami Province, Frost Moon Tower had been fully booked every day for the past few days, and Lu Ran's workload had increased tremendously.
In a blink of an eye, the day of the Ningchuan City Lord's grand banquet arrived, and Frost Moon Tower was closed for the day. Manager Tong along with a bunch of helpers headed to the City Lord's Mansion.
There were many guests invited to the City Lord's Mansion banquet, and relying solely on the City Lord's Mansion chefs might not be enough, so the Ningchuan City Lord had also paid a hefty sum to hire a number of Frost Moon Tower's top chefs to come and help out.
"Listen up, and listen well, especially you apprentices," Manager Tong warned Passerby A and others on the way, "At your request, I've brought you along, but before you finish your own business, you're not allowed to wander around the City Lord's Mansion. If anything happens, contact me right away, got it?"
Bai Ling and the others had sullen expressions. Damn it, they hadn't expected that they would infiltrate the City Lord's Mansion with such identities. However, Manager Tong had said that after finishing their tasks, they would be allowed to participate in various activities at the mansion, which had reassured Bai Ling and the others.
Their own business actually meant cleaning and serving tea and water.
