Chapter 59: Romon Restaurant
After hearing the person’s offer through the window, there was a moment of silence as Fike was stunned.
However, thinking that his offer had been too low and offended Fike, the person behind the window made another offer.
“Alright, 800,000 Romon gold coins! No more!”
As soon as he heard this, Fike realized that the 500,000 had just been a test from the buyer.
Now, he guessed that there was still room for the price to rise.
He sighed deliberately.
“Forget it then… Those things are actually still quite useful to me. Could you return them?”
Hearing his words, the man grew anxious.
“900,000! 900,000 Romon gold coins. That’s enough, right? Big brother, you can’t not trade them to me!”
Hearing that the price had increased by another 100,000, he followed confidently.
“Then I won’t torture you anymore. Seeing that you want this so much, how about a million gold coins?”
Hearing him ask for a million gold coins, the person was so angry that he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet.
“Fine, fine, fine, a million then. We’ve agreed, don’t go back on your words! I’ll go get the money for you now!”
Fike smiled proudly.
Not long after, a gold card was handed over from the window.
“I’ve deposited one million Romon gold coins into this card for you. If you want to use the money, just swipe the card.”
Taking the gold card, Fike asked again.
“Do you know where Yogmo Academy is?”
The person at the window did not make things difficult for him, answering straightforwardly.
“You want to study at Yogmo Academy? You have to get a registration form first!”
“Where can I get that?”
“Oh, you’re asking the right person!”
The person behind the window laughed impudently.
“Go to Conscience Grocery Store next to Romon Restaurant and find a person named Tautou. He will give you a registration form!”
After receiving the news, Fike set off, preparing to head to Romon Restaurant.
This was the largest and most luxurious restaurant in the royal city of Romon.
As he arrived, staring up at the tall and magnificent building in front of him, he could not help but be shocked.
The restaurant had a total of 48 floors, and the decorations on each floor were particularly exquisite.
No matter where any of the adventurers may have come from, it was almost certain that they’d all fall for this grand building.
Fike thought to himself that he had not enjoyed a good meal for quite some time.
Seeing as he had just made a fortune, he figured that he may as well go ahead and spend some of it in this grandiose restaurant.
As he walked into the building, he found that even the waiters in the restaurant were dressed very fashionably.
In comparison to his surroundings, Fike suddenly felt that he looked like a country bumpkin.
“Hello, Mr. Adventurer. Would you like to eat or stay?”
He found the waiter’s polite attitude a bit excessive. Nevertheless, he responded lightly.
“Just a simple meal. Please serve me some of your best dishes.”
“Okay, Mr. Adventurer, please follow me!”
Fike followed the waiter to the dining hall, passing through the lobby.
The guests in the hall were not dressed like adventurers from Miracle.
Rather, they looked more like generic nobles from the upper classes of society.
A band was stationed at the center of the hall, playing beautiful music that filled the air.
Fike felt that he really didn’t fit in here at all.
At this moment, he really wished that he’d changed his clothes and dressed up before coming here.
He sat down after he was guided to an empty table. After a short while, the waiter brought the dishes up to him.
The first entree was a slice of raw Exotic Beast meat that had been purified through the process of light charcoal roasting.
He gazed at the petite piece of meat before him. It was really decorated beautifully, with an assortment of carved vegetables and fruits of various sizes around the plate.
As for the meat itself…
Fike couldn’t help but think back to the batch of meat that he’d sold at the exchange when he first arrived at Miracle.
A middle-aged man sitting across from Fike noticed that he was hesitating, so he spoke to him.
“Young man, did you know that the raw meat before you was prepared after being purified by the demon hunter Mike himself? You can eat it without worry. That meat is slowly getting scarcer and rarer with each meal.”
Hearing the middle-aged man’s words, Fike could not help but feel embarrassed.
He hadn’t expected that his meal would actually be made from the batch that he had sold himself in the market.
The middle-aged man continued to speak.
“I wonder where this Mike has run off to. I heard that he disappeared after he killed the Overlord-tier Exotic Beast.”
Fike raised his head to look at the middle-aged man.
He had a bloated body, a bald head, and a short stature. His appearance seemed sort of comical.
However, he was dressed expensively. His coat was inlaid with many gemstones of all sizes.
“Really? I don’t know where Mike’s gone either.”
Fike replied calmly.
Seeing that Fike had actually responded to him, the man immediately got up, bringing his own plate over to him.
Then, he sat down swiftly and smiled at him.
“Look at you, you’ve just arrived at Romon!”
This person was acting way too familiar with him. Fike really did not want to continue paying him any mind, but out of politeness, he replied anyway.
“Yes, I’ve just arrived.”
“Then I have to tell you about some of the interesting places in the royal city of Romon.”
“Let me see… in the south, there’s a…”
Watching as the middle-aged man launched himself into a tangent, Fike was speechless.
He wanted to move to another table, but he didn’t want to disrespect the man’s hospitality either.
Soon, the second and third dishes were served.
Fike found that the middle-aged man not only shared the table with him, but also ate his food without any hesitation.
The man spoke as he ate, causing his saliva to go flying everywhere.
Such an uncomfortable situation had caused Fike to completely lose his appetite. Now, he just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
Finally, the middle-aged man said, “Young man, you eat first. I’m going to the washroom.”
Taking the opportunity of his leave, Fike immediately got up once the man had gone far enough away, immediately heading over to the counter to pay the bill.
“Hello, your total bill for this table is 78,000 Romon gold coins. Would you like to pay by cash or card?”
“78,000? How can it be so expensive? I’ve only eaten three dishes!”
The waiter looked at the bill again before replying.
“The gentleman at the table with you has eaten a total of nine times in this restaurant, and each time, he’d use this method of sharing tables to escape the bill. Judging from your appearance, you must be a new adventurer. That man specifically targets people like you! As long as you talk to him, he will brazenly bring all his food to your table, and then find an excuse to escape when it’s time to pay the bill.”
Fike sighed helplessly.
It would be difficult to find that greasy middle-aged man again.
“Please swipe your card.”
