Soon, Corvinus and his group finished their meal. Ninety people spent a total of five hundred and forty-seven silver coins, which was less than six gold coins—not exactly cheap.
However, with plenty of meat and vegetables, everyone ate their fill, so it was worth it. Besides, he was carrying a large sum of money, so spending less than six gold coins was affordable.
When it came time to pay the bill!
"What payment card?" Corvinus looked puzzled at the restaurant owner.
Upon hearing this, the restaurant owner realized that these orcs must be visiting the canyon for the first time.
However, a single meal costing several gold coins meant they were big spenders, so he patiently explained, "The payment card is the access card. Using the access card for payment, you can enjoy a ten percent discount at any shop within the city."
Corvinus took out his access card and asked, "Is this it?"
"That's right. But it looks like you haven't recharged any points on it, so it can't be used," the human restaurant owner shook his head.
"But I can exchange points for you here. I wonder if the guest needs that?" Suddenly, the restaurant owner said with a smile.
Corvinus was taken aback. A ten percent discount, and it applied to all shops in the city—wasn't that the same as being a member?
Such an advanced system existed here.
However, did this card really have the function of an electronic card?
Corvinus wanted to give it a try.
"I need it!"
"Alright, but there will be a one percent deduction for the service when recharging here. I wonder if the guest is willing?" the innkeeper smiled.
"One percent?"
Corvinus thought for a moment. He didn't like the idea of losing money, but curiosity drove him to give it a try.
"Sure, but I'll recharge with ten gold coins," Corvinus nodded and said.
He'd start with ten gold coins to see how it worked!
Actually, it wasn't a loss. Ten percent of five hundred and forty-seven silver coins was more than one percent of ten gold coins.
"Alright, please pay the gold coins first," the restaurant owner said.
Corvinus extended his hand, and ten gold coins appeared.
The human restaurant owner's pupils dilated slightly. This werewolf actually had a spatial ring.
It seemed that this werewolf wasn't a country bumpkin but someone from a major tribe who had just arrived in the canyon for the first time.
The restaurant owner didn't think too much about it and quickly took the ten gold coins. He took out his own card, wrote a series of numbers on it, and then gently tapped it against Corvinus's card.
"Done!"
"Ten gold coins are worth ninety-nine thousand points. After deducting the meal cost of forty-nine thousand two hundred and thirty points, a total of forty-nine thousand seven hundred and seventy points have been transferred."
"You can check if it's correct!" the restaurant owner said with a smile.
Corvinus was stunned. Was this magic?
Seeing Corvinus's bewilderment, the restaurant owner quickly explained, "Just tap it twice to see the balance."
Corvinus tapped his card with his finger, and instantly, a bright red number appeared on the card.
49770
Corvinus was amazed. So magical!
He had thought of electronic cards before, but he believed such a thing was impossible in this world. However, now that he saw it, it was even more convenient and magical than an electronic card.
Could it be the power of a god?
Were there really gods in this world?
Corvinus examined the card but couldn't figure out how it worked, so he stopped looking at it.
After all, with the existence of real gods in this world, nothing should be surprising.
He put the card away and thought for a moment before asking, "Boss, do you know where I can find an empty house in the city?"
"Looking for a house?"
"I'm not sure, but you can ask at the town hall. They can look up any information. If anyone in the city is selling a house or a shop, they should register it there," the restaurant owner said.
"Town hall?" Corvinus was puzzled.
"Follow this main road straight for about fifteen or twenty minutes, and you'll get there."
"Look, that tallest building over there is the town hall. It's a bit far from here, so it's not very clear," the restaurant owner took Corvinus out of the restaurant and pointed to a tall, blurry building in the distance.
"I see, thank you!"
...
After nearly twenty minutes, they walked through street after street, and finally, Corvinus and his group arrived at the town hall.
The long journey finally gave Corvinus and his group a direct sense of how enormous this city was.
Looking at the nearly twenty-meter-tall Gothic-style building in front of them, which resembled a castle, Corvinus realized this was the town hall the restaurant owner had mentioned.
At that moment, there were quite a few people entering and exiting the town hall. Corvinus led Cadia and Tyton up the steps into the town hall.
To be honest, since arriving in the canyon, Corvinus suddenly felt like he had leaped from a tribal society to the ancient Western society of his previous life.
Especially now, looking at this magnificent building, the contrast with the tribal lifestyle made the difference even more pronounced.
After entering the town hall, Corvinus realized that it was truly enormous.
Moreover, it was exquisitely decorated in a classical style, with carpets made of animal hides covering the floors—it was a blatant display of wealth.
Looking at the rows of counters inside, which resembled a bank, Corvinus casually approached one.
The service lady behind the counter was a beautiful fox-woman, only half his height, but indeed very attractive.
"Hello, how may I assist you?" the fox-woman asked Corvinus politely.
In fact, by orcish standards, werewolves were considered handsome among all orcs.
"Hello, I'd like to know if there are any houses for sale here," Corvinus asked.
They were a large group, and he wanted to check out some houses. If the price was reasonable, he might buy one, since staying in an inn would definitely cost a lot every day for so many people.
Moreover, he had his own ideas; staying in an inn wasn't convenient.
"Sure, please wait a moment while I check," the fox-woman got up and left.
However, it only took about two or three minutes before she returned.
"Here you are. This catalog lists all the guests who are selling houses. You can take a look. If you find one you like, just note down the address," the fox-woman handed over acatalog that resembled a register.
"Thank you!"
Corvinus took it and noticed that although it was thick, the first few hundred pages were sealed, clearly outdated.
Only three pages remained.
Corvinus glanced through it and found a listing for a restaurant for sale. The information described it as a five-story establishment, priced at two hundred and eighty gold coins.
Corvinus was interested. After all, the place was spacious enough to accommodate ninety people, and it also provided the space he needed to pursue his own plans.
He quickly noted down the address and returned the catalog.
"Thank you!"
...
"Wodel Street, Casa Restaurant."
Corvinus moved quickly and arrived at Wodel Street, the address listed, within ten minutes.
Looking at the Casa Restaurant in front of him, it was indeed large, but it seemed to still be in operation.
Corvinus asked Tyton and the others to wait outside while he went in alone.
"Welcome, sir. I'm sorry, but the restaurant is no longer in business," as soon as he walked in, a soft female voice reached his ears.
Corvinus looked towards the cash register counter and saw the voice was coming from inside.
