After breaking through to Demigod Realm, it was still 2 o'clock. There were still two hours before Daoist Fireblade would arrive at the training ground. Since he was in a great mood today, he decided to bring Luo Qifeng to the restaurant. Plus, Shen Long never had to worry about overspending anyway. Qingyu had given him 10,000 spirit stones before, and his Seniors all donated him treasures which also worthed quite a lot.
As the duo arrived at the restaurant, Shen Long passed Luo Qingben the menu. Although Qingben kept telling him that he wasn't hungry, Shen Long still forced him to order, to celebrate with him.
"Tell me after you finish choosing, alright?" Shen Long patiently asked him as Shen Long had completely forgotten the fact that he bought two breakfasts for Luo Qingben in the morning.
The indecisive Shen Long couldn't make up his mind as everything on the menu looked alluring. After another while, Shen Long decided to order. As a gentleman, he told Luo Qingben to order first. However, upon hearing what he was about to order, Shen Long's face twitched.
"No, no. He can have roasted pork belly. Ignore what he said just now." Shen Long quickly changed Luo Qingben's order.
"Senior Brother Long... I wanted to eat meatballs though... I don't even like eating pork belly..." Luo Qingben pleaded as his eyes became watery. After all, Luo Qingben's intelligence only matched up to 5 years old at the moment. Just like other children, Luo Qingben wanted to start crying as Shen Long forcefully changed what he wanted to eat.
"No, trust me. Roasted pork belly is way better. Trust me. Don't cry, don't cry! And for me, I will have stir-fry beef noodles. Can I also have some grilled fish? Thanks." Shen Long whispered to Qingben, and then he continued his order.
Luo Qingben sat there dejectedly as he nodded to Shen Long. Shen Long, on the other hand, was brimming with joy as he ordered all the food he wanted to order. That was the reason why he stopped Qingben from ordering the meatballs. Not because that they were unhealthy, but Shen Long didn't like them. What a great babysitter. So considerate and caring.
As the food came, Shen Long's eyes were brimming with light. Although Shen Long was rich, he didn't want to spend it recklessly. Order three to four dishes were more than enough, as he wasn't that hungry anyway. Everything in front of him was Shen Long's favourite dishes. However, Luo Qingben just sat there with his lips curling upwards, showing his discontent.
"Eat! You don't need to be so formal haha. Told you the pork belly tastes better than the shi- I meant pooey meatballs. Eat up! Try this. This is really nice. The meat is tender and juicy. Wow! Amazing!" Shen Long said as he gracefully served some grilled fish into Luo Qingben's bowl. Shen Long continued to immerse himself in his food. Although it was a bit salty as it probably contained lots of MSG, Shen Long felt like he was in heaven.
When one's mood was good, even if the food was average, it would still be "transcended". Our mood affected our senses greatly. Luo Qingben started coughing after eating the fish Shen Long put in his bowl. Shen Long immediately knew that he messed up hard. Giving a "child" some fish that contained bone!? That was basically suicidal.
Shen Long's parents taught him the "ultimate" method to help someone who was choking. Instead of stroking someone's back like normal people, you wack them in the groin as hard as possible. This actually would work as it would make someone puke if it was done properly. As you puke, the bone would come out along the vomit.
**PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT AT HOME** PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT AT HOME** PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT ANYWHERE**
Shen Long was about to try it onto Luo Qingben but he was quickly stopped. The staff of the restaurants dashed out and helped him before he had a chance. Shen Long was happy that Luo Qingben was no longer in danger, but he also felt slightly dejected as he didn't get to show off his ultimate Shen Method.
According to his father, Shen Chun, this method was passed down for generations and it was unique to the Shen Family. Shen Long treated it like some precious treasure when he was on Earth. To be honest, it was no different from a proper cultivation manual despite it was pretty useless. Don't forget that Shen Long was a die-hard light novel fan. He would, of course, memorize this "manual" as he imagined himself being a "cultivator".
Ironically, he actually became a cultivator. Thinking back, Shen Long didn't feel embarrassed at all. In fact, he was proud of the fact that he pretended to become a cultivator. Well, Shen Long did become a cultivator through sheer luck, as he actually tried to use the manuals from the light novel. Dedication was key. Even though it sounded impossible, it worked out for him.
The duo finished lunch as Shen Long was extremely satisfied. His belly was also satisfied by the staggering amount of food he ate. Well, in terms of dishes - he only ate three. As a stingy person, he ordered, however, four bowls of rice as it was the cheapest. Qingben sat on the side as he ate barely anything. He didn't enjoy the food at all as he never got the chance to choose, and he was already full prior to eating.
The duo strolled back to the training ground. It was still 2:30 pm, and there still was 1.5 hour left before Shen Long's training. Luo Qingben continued to stay quiet as he was obviously not in a great mood.
"Children these days... always so moody! Hmph! He couldn't even understand the greatness of the food I just ordered. Luo Qingben definitely is mentally ill. If he is a normal person, he definitely would LOVE the food I just ordered. Hmmm. That fish was so good. If it was slightly cheaper, it would be even better." Shen Long thought to himself as he walked back.
Shen Long was extremely rich, for a Demigod cultivator. However, his personality didn't change at all. He was still stingy, especially after realising the importance of spirit stones in the cultivator world. He wasn't willing to waste a single spirit stone. However, he still didn't mind buying his friends food as relationships were still his number one priority.
They walked past the basketball court as they planned to return to the training ground. Since there was still some time left, Shen Long decided to play a round or two of basketball before going back. He also wanted to test out if Luo Qingben had forgotten everything, or if he had other problems.
Upon seeing Shen Long, everyone present stood straightly as they said in unison.
"Welcome! Our basketball-God!"
Shen Long was brimming with joy as he heard their greeting. His eyes were sparkling, and he nodded in approval while carrying a large grin on his face.
