Zhang Yuze and Gao Yang were also among them. When they saw Lin Yu, they immediately stood up and walked over.
Lin Yu nodded at them.
"Class monitor, your family's hotel is really big."
"Yeah, I didn't expect that the Sea Palace was owned by your family."
"That's right. You've actually hidden so well. We'll be relying on your help in the future."
The surrounding students either sighed or complimented him.
Wang He waved his hand and replied humbly.
He turned to look at Lin Yu and found that he was calmly greeting Zhang Yuze and Gao Yang.
Seeing this, his face fell.
"To be honest, my dad started from scratch back then, so I want to learn from him and not rely too much on my family," Wang He found a topic.
Lin Yu was a little surprised. For Wang He's father to build such a family business, he was definitely not a simple man.
Wang He straightened his back and continued, "At that time, he went out to sea on his canoe alone. Along the way, he found ten partners. They started from scratch and helped my dad build this huge Sea Palace."
"Is your dad's name Wang Luffy?" Lin Yu couldn't help but ask.
Why did this story sound so familiar?
"Who is Wang Luffy? My dad's name is Wang Hai," Wang He was slightly dumbfounded.
The surrounding students were also confused.
"Oh, Wang Luffy is an extremely powerful water attribute Beastmaster. I've read his biography before. He started from scratch, too," Lin Yu said as he nodded slightly.
"Is that so? Where is he from? If there's a chance, I'd like to ask him for advice," Wang He was interested.
"I think he's from the East Sea. I can't remember the details. I'll look for that biography later," Lin Yu coughed dryly.
"As expected of Lin Yu, so knowledgeable and multi-talented," The surrounding students began to compliment Lin Yu.
"Well, it's getting late. Let's order first," Lin Yu didn't want to hear their flattery anymore. His stomach was already growling.
"Alright, alright. Let's quickly order some food. I'm the host today," Wang He waved his hand generously.
In his heart, Lin Yu was the main character today. His father, Wang Hai, had also specifically told him to make friends with Lin Yu.
Lin Yu politely declined Wang He's company and leisurely strolled around the ingredient area with Zhang Yuze and Gao Yang.
Wang He's excessive enthusiasm made him a little uncomfortable.
"Are those trees also ingredients?" Lin Yu stopped.
In front of him were tree-type pet beasts that were about two meters tall.
"Those are the celestial dew trees. Their sap is a top-grade beverage. There's also the moon-burning oil tree which contains oil that is a top-grade ingredient," Zhang Yuze explained.
Lin Yu nodded in satisfaction. Zhang Yuze was still as knowledgeable as ever.
On the other side, the martial artist Gao Yang was not so refined. Currently, he was leaning against a glass window and trying his best to look inside.
"What are you doing?" Lin Yu was a little curious.
"I saw quite a few rare water attribute pet beasts. Are they all food?" Gao Yang's face was filled with disbelief.
"Ahem, it's just natural selection," Lin Yu was glad that he had seen the world, otherwise, he would probably have had the same expression.
He had to visit An Yuan's house more often in the future...
"You guys can choose whatever you want, don't stand on ceremony with me," Wang He's magnanimous voice came from afar.
"Do you guys think the class monitor will agree if I choose that?" Lin Yu suddenly had an idea.
He pointed at the Green-sea Serpent Dragon in the glass tank on the ceiling.
The corners of Zhang Yuze and Gao Yang's mouths twitched a few times at the same time.
"That is the hotel's ornamental pet, I think..." Zhang Yuze said hesitantly.
"Hahaha, I was just joking," Lin Yu laughed.
That was a pet of the sub-dragon species. No matter how influential he was, they couldn't possibly cook it for him.
That being said, the Wang family was really rich and overbearing. To think they even had a sub-dragon...
Wait, it seemed like An Yuan's family was greater?
Lin Yu raised his eyebrows. After all, An Yuan's mother had listed several real dragons.
The few of them were chatting and laughing when suddenly, a series of exclamations came from the surroundings.
Lin Yu looked toward the source of the gasps and saw a group of people in black robes lining up to go up the stairs without a word.
They were quite eye-catching.
Was that a group who were living in a fantasy... Lin Yu was slightly startled.
Weren't they in a city setting? Why would someone still wear such robes in this day and age? Could it really be some villain organization?
That would be too stupid. They were almost writing the words "I'm a bad guy" on their faces.
However, many people were obviously used to it, and even the hotel front desk didn't change their expression.
Gao Yang sneered, "That's nothing. I've seen a lot of people in the countryside wearing insect-type pet beast mascot costumes."
In this world, it was normal for some fanatical people to wear the clothes of their favorite pets.
Lin Yu nodded slightly. There were really many talents. Seeing this, he was indeed a more normal person.
This was just a small interlude, and soon, no one paid them any more attention.
After all, as the top hotel in An City, the security of the Sea Palace was also top-notch.
If someone really wanted to cause trouble, the Sea Palace would not let them go.
After ordering a few dishes, Lin Yu and Zhang Gao went upstairs to take a seat.
...
In Sea No.1 private room, Lin Yu leaned back slightly on the sofa.
As expected of the Sea Palace which was a top hotel. The chefs' cooking skills were amazing.
In addition, the tastes of marine pet beasts were different from the land pet beasts he had eaten at An Yuan's house.
This was probably the legendary "taste of the sea".
"Hey, I'm going to the toilet," Lin Yu stretched his back and stood up.
He pushed the door open and noticed that the door was not closed properly when he passed by the private room next door. So, he took a casual glance.
This glance made him slow down.
Sitting inside were the men in black robes he had seen downstairs. They were all wearing masks, and it was almost impossible to see their faces.
The group filled up a round table, but there was no food on their table.
Lin Yu opened his eyes wide and tried his best to see what was going on.
There were some strange patterns drawn on the table. Just by looking at the setting, he felt that the patterns were a mess. He couldn't even use words to describe them.
The men lit a circle of candles around the table, and waves of blue light lit up the room.
Lin Yu was dumbfounded.
Were they trying to stir up trouble?
Those in black robes were indeed not decent people. The novels were true.
The next moment, they stood up, then squatted again.
Lin Yu looked around and saw the dishes from the hotel on the ground.
On the ground... Lin Yu was a little speechless as he watched them pick up the plates of food and carefully place them on the patterns.
What was this for? Were they summoning a spirit?
Using cooked food, huh? What new-era summoning technique was this?
He was ridiculing their actions madly in his heart.
The men finally started talking.
"According to the revelation of the great Evil Pry Lord, his believers have already descended into this city."
Lin Yu's heart skipped a beat when he heard the cold voice.
