Li Yao was dazed for a long time before he recalled the promise he had made to Si Jiaxue "yesterday". He looked at the time and realized it was already five in the afternoon; he had slept for a whole day and night.
No matter how he commanded the wind and rain in his dreams, in the real world, he was still a poor boy with an empty pocket. He had just eaten all the food he had saved for several months in one breath. One hundred thousand yuan was a huge sum for him, and he wished he could hold it in his palm immediately.
Li Yao quickly typed a response on the virtual rune keyboard: "Where are you? Within two hours, no, within one and a half hours, I will deliver it to you!"
After clicking "send", the characters condensed into a small ethereal paper crane, flew to the bottom right corner of the light screen, and disappeared.
It took a full three minutes for Si Jiaxue to send an address: "I am here. Someone will be waiting for you at the door in an hour and a half. Just hand over the thing to him."
It seems that her impression of Li Yao was really not good, and she didn't even want to meet him.
Li Yao didn't mind, as long as he could get the money. He replied with a "Good", closed the light screen, and took out the old crystal brain of Si Jiaxue, interlaced his knuckles, "crack crack" rubbed a few times, and began to repair.
"Eh?"
When he unscrewed the crystal brain shell with a screwdriver, he immediately found that something was different.
His condition today was particularly good, and his mind was particularly clear. Faced with the complex and profound internal structure of the crystal brain, he seemed to be able to see the deepest structure after just a few glances.
Gently closed his eyelids, and a semi-transparent old crystal brain phantom slowly rose in front of his eyes. Every small part gradually separated, slowly dancing in the void, allowing him to see every detail of each part from all directions.
Li Yao felt that even if it was not a simple job like replacing the heat dissipation piece, but a high-difficulty operation such as repairing the core crystal tube, it seemed that he could try it.
"It seems that it was not in vain to sneak a peek at Ou Yuzi's refining of the treasure for hundreds of years in the dream. Although all the details have been forgotten, my 'eye power' has been greatly improved!"
In this way, the repair speed has been greatly increased. The work he originally estimated to take at least an hour was completed in just thirty minutes. He also subconsciously changed the heat dissipation structure, using a new type of heat dissipation structure that appeared thirty years ago inside the crystal brain from a hundred years ago, which is expected to increase the heat dissipation efficiency of this crystal brain by 17%, and the restart speed at high temperatures can also be increased by at least 9%.
"It's perfect, it's really worth the ten thousand yuan, it's not expensive at all!"
Looking at his work, Li Yao was very satisfied. He felt that this was the best performance he had ever had in his life.
Just complacent, a sour smell suddenly came from his nostrils. Li Yao realized that his body was sticky with sweat from his sleep. He looked at the time, and it was not too late. He simply took a bath, scrubbed hard up and down, changed his clothes, and then went out comfortably.
The address given by Si Jiaxue is a self-service restaurant located in the Upper East District. The Upper East District is a wealthy area where the rich and powerful gather. Li Yao rarely came here before. Occasionally, when he passed by, he always felt a bit ashamed, feeling like a beggar who had broken into a luxurious banquet of the upper class.
But today, he held his head high, his chest out, his belly folded, his nostrils facing the sky, and walked with a stride of three feet, as if no one else was around, full of spirit!
Although his wrinkled coat has been washed white, although there are still patches on the knees, although he is wearing a pair of "smiling mouth" shoes, it is obvious that he is a poor boy who has no food for the next meal.
His expression, however, is like having a gold brick in his waist, ready to sign a contract worth tens of billions.
This is the momentum cultivated in the dream of Nanke, which has been subtly influenced by countless high-level cultivators. It is a sense of superiority in the pure state of mind, which is unrelated to strength, status, and status.
It's like a person who has lived with thousands of dinosaurs for decades and sees a tiger as a relatively fat cat.
The Upper East District is located in the center of Fugou City, surrounded by seven large artificial lakes, which subtly separate this area from the surrounding areas. The address given by Si Jiaxue is on the edge of one of the artificial lakes, "Hidden Winter Lake", which is a self-service restaurant called Hidden Lake Nook.
This restaurant is surrounded by bamboo forests, and relies on the natural environment to set up a weather talisman array, making it snow all year round within a radius of a hundred meters.
The snow is not big, but it adds a trace of ethereal Zen to the restaurant.
It is not the highest-grade luxury restaurant in Fugou City, the price is relatively cheap, but the environment is very good, very stylish, and it is quite suitable for the consumption place of rich children who have not yet mastered financial power and rely on their parents for pocket money.
There is an ancient beauty in a plain skirt, holding a paper fan, standing at the door of Hidden Lake Nook. Seeing Li Yao swaggering in, his clothes and momentum are completely opposite, and it looks very uncomfortable. She was stunned for a long time before she came forward and gave a shallow salute: "Hello, are you Li Yao from Chi Xiao Er Middle School?"
"Yes, it was Si Jiaxue who let you wait, right? Here is the thing, do you need to try it?" Li Yao didn't talk nonsense and handed over the crystal brain.
The ancient costume beauty service girl smiled and said, "No need, Miss Si said that if there is really a problem, she will naturally go to find Li Yao again. As for now, please keep this card well."
With a slight bow, the ancient costume beauty service girl handed over a semi-transparent frosted card full of runes with both hands very respectfully.
This is an anonymous Jinling Tong card, which can input the runes on the card into the crystal brain to transfer the money stored inside to the account, or you can directly swipe it for consumption in most shops, which is very convenient.
Li Yao took the Jinling Tong card and lightly touched a light purple rune on the upper left corner of the card, which was entwined with silver silk. The Jinling Tong card trembled slightly, and a series of numbers appeared on the card - 100,000.
Si Jiaxue even rounded up for him, Li Yao's eyes brightened, and he whistled unexpectedly: "Beauty, thank you very much. By the way, help me thank Si Jiaxue and tell her to remember to take care of me more in the future. I will give her a floor-jumping price for everything!"
He carefully put the Jinling Tong card into his close-fitting pocket, and Li Yao turned around with a smile, thinking about going to the supermarket in the civilian area to buy a few hundred cans of star beast meat at home, and then make some sauce beef with baked cakes, and have a good late-night meal.
At this moment, a "tsk" came from the Hidden Lake Nook, which was the sound of the tender and juicy beef patty on the hot iron plate.
A faint smell of meat, mixed with the exotic fragrance made from dozens of rare spices, was carried by the intoxicating breeze and floated out.
Li Yao's stomach "grumbled", as if he was pulled by an invisible rope, and suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"Damn it, I'm hungry again so soon!"
He struggled with Ou Yuzi in the dream of Nanke, consuming too much from the soul to the physical strength, which was an overdraft of life, and it was not something that dozens of cans of star beast meat could make up for. It was better not to smell it, but once he smelled the fragrance of the meat, it was as if he was in the state of drug addiction just now. His stomach and intestines turned into a bottomless hole, and his limbs and bones ignited a fierce hunger, and his face twisted to the extreme, almost drooling from the corners of his mouth.
Li Yao involuntarily retreated and rushed in.
The fierce aura of the hungry tiger frightened the ancient costume beauty service girl, and the little girl subconsciously blocked in front of him.
"Hmm?"
Li Yao squinted his eyes, and his molars rubbed against each other, making a "click click" sound, just like a raptor that had been eating grass for three days.
The little girl was almost crying, thinking where did this wild man come from, and it seemed that he was going to swallow me too?
She involuntarily took two steps back, settled down, and forced a smile, saying: "This, this guest, you came just in time, our Hidden Lake Nook is celebrating the store today, with a 15% discount for the whole store and free service fee. The self-service dinner is only 1,280 yuan per person, and it comes with a thirty-year-old daughter red, which was buried at the bottom of the 'Hidden Winter Lake' by our owner."
The restaurants and wineries in the rich area, the service girls have been specially trained and have a very high quality, and naturally will not do the silly thing of judging people by their appearance and not allowing people with poor clothes to consume.
Especially in the cultivation world, there are some people with twisted psychology who like to dress up as dragons and eat tigers. If you offend these people with blind eyes, you will not only close down in a minute, but all the staff will also go to the hospital's intensive care unit for unpaid leave.
So, in the rich area, as long as you don't come to consume in just a pair of underwear, no matter how luxurious the consumption place is, the guests are treated equally.
The ancient costume beauty service girl didn't know which road Li Yao was from, but she was very tactful and clearly stated the consumption level, and then stepped aside.
"One thousand two hundred and eighty?"
Li Yao's eyes were a bit straight, and this number was instantly transformed into a mountain of star beast meat cans in his mind, and the only thought was to turn around and leave.
But the body was more honest than the thought, and the aroma of the barbecue seemed to appear in front of Li Yao as a very plump beauty, licking her red lips, flirting, and smiling.
He seemed to have swallowed a big walnut, and his throat kept rolling up and down, and his heart was struggling, and he was very entangled.
After a stalemate for a full... half a second, the psychological defense line completely collapsed, Li Yao's eyes were fiery, hungry lines on his face, he loosened his belt, like a fierce tiger coming down the mountain, like a hungry dog coming out of the cage, and he roared in.
"It's just one thousand two hundred and eighty? Just got a hundred thousand, can I still eat it poor? Today is not over!"
The design inside the Hidden Lake Nook is very clever, and the dining area is divided into more than a dozen private areas by corridors, lanterns, and gardens, and the long tables full of food are spread throughout the areas, ensuring that guests can eat in a relatively independent environment.
As for the abundance of various delicacies, let's say, when I came here, Li Yao felt that his biology class was taught by a martial arts teacher, and more than half of the delicacies were not only called out, but also never seen!
He found a relatively quiet corridor, grabbed a more than twenty jin roasted lamb leg, sticky skin and bones, blood and meat, and took a hard bite.
"Twelve successful efforts, complete realm, ultimate state - Whale! Swallow! Big! Law!"
