Chapter 144: Your Server Exaggerating

Not long after, the fragrant dishes were brought to the table.

Li Yundi, seasoned in battles, didn’t immediately start eating.

Instead, he had someone check the food first to ensure there were no issues before starting to consume it.

Since the apocalypse, Li Yundi had encountered many seemingly kind-hearted people who sheltered survivors only to later kill them. He had witnessed a father, unable to bear losing his daughter, chaining up his daughter after she turned into a zombie. Then, he sheltered passing survivors, killed them, and fed them to his daughter as food.

But in the end, when they encountered Li Yundi and his group, that father ultimately died at the hands of his own daughter.

After confirming that the food had no issues, Li Yundi began to enjoy his meal.

Just as the food arrived, the lobby manager walked in again, saying, "Gentlemen, I have activated the energy absorption effect in the private room. You can experience it yourselves!"

The group eating paid no attention and continued to devour their food.

However, as they continued eating, they began to feel that something was amiss.

"Captain, why do I feel that the energy in this room is so abundant?"

"Yeah! I feel it too. I didn’t actively practice, but the energy in my body is automatically being absorbed!"

Hearing this, Li Yundi put down his bowl and carefully sensed the changes happening around him.

After a moment, Li Yundi widened his eyes in disbelief, "Here, it’s really like what that person said. The energy absorption speed is 20% faster than outside!"

Amidst the shock, Li Yundi quickly urged the others, "Hurry up and finish your meal. After eating, start practicing!"

This kind of opportunity was simply too rare.

In this accelerated cultivation environment, it wasn’t just about saving some time. The path of cultivation was full of hardships, like writing where inspiration could flow, and the pen could create a whole world. In fact, they even gave up the delicious food on the table for the sake of cultivation.

Three hours felt like a fleeting moment under the circumstances.

Just as they were immersed in the world of cultivation, they were suddenly awakened by a knocking sound on the door.

"What’s going on?"

Li Yundi angrily shouted.

"Sir, your private room time is up. Would you like to continue or order more?"

The manager’s voice came from outside the door, immediately bringing Li Yundi back to his senses.

"Oh right, I came here to test the reality of this restaurant, and how did I end up practicing here!"

Li Yundi couldn’t help feeling a bit regretful and immediately woke up the others.

Although the cultivation speed was fast in this environment, it was also incredibly costly.

Ten thousand energy units for three hours.

It was like burning money.

Even though Li Yundi was a captain in the Qingyun base, he couldn’t afford such expenses.

Soon, the group left the private room.

Outside the door, the lobby manager stood with a smile. Seeing the group coming out, he immediately greeted them and handed them towels, saying, "Gentlemen, wipe your faces. It’s beneficial to take a break from cultivation. We also offer bathing and massage services upstairs. Would you be interested?"

"No, thanks!"

Li Yundi waved his hand repeatedly.

Spending ten thousand just for a meal was already too much. If they added a bath and massage, how much would it cost?

"In that case, our downstairs rest area has free tea. You can move to the downstairs area!"

At the mention of free, Li Yundi and the others immediately brightened up.

"Free? That sounds good!"

Immediately, the group moved to the downstairs rest area.

Next to them, someone was serving, and they chatted intermittently with the server.

"You’ve opened the restaurant here. Aren’t you afraid of the zombies outside?"

"Sir, don’t worry, the zombies can’t get in!"

Proudly stated the server.

"Oh? Why not?"

"Well... we’re not really sure, but the zombies won’t come in!"

The server was just an ordinary employee hired recently, so they didn’t know the restaurant’s secrets.

"Does the owner here only care about your food and drink?"

"Besides eating, drinking, and basic needs, we ordinary employees also receive two thousand energy units as wages!"

"How is that possible?"

The few of them exclaimed in surprise.

"Your treatment is better than ours?"

The server smiled and remained silent, appearing somewhat smug.

Honestly, this treatment was indeed unmatched by ordinary standards, especially considering they were just regular people.

"By the way, what’s the name of your boss?"

"Cough, cough!"

Just then, the lobby manager approached and signaled the nearby server, warning them not to speak indiscreetly.

"Gentlemen, are you satisfied with our service?"

"Not satisfied!"

Li Yundi said calmly.

They were here to probe and wouldn’t easily relent.

"Oh? Sir, have we done something wrong? Please point it out, and we’ll correct it in the future!"

"Your server was exaggerating, and it made me uncomfortable!"

"Exaggerating? Sir, what do you mean?"

The lobby manager was suddenly puzzled.

"He said they get two thousand energy units every month besides food, drink, and basic needs. This is the apocalypse. Can a server have such high treatment?"

Li Yundi immediately seized the opportunity to challenge the lobby manager.

"Hehe, sir, that’s your problem. Our people indeed did not lie. Our ordinary employees do receive two thousand energy units every month. Our management staff even receive five thousand every month!"

The lobby manager explained with a smile.

"Really?"

Li Yundi asked skeptically.

"Of course, it’s true. We can’t just take out pay stubs to prove it to you, can we? Moreover, this issue of yours isn’t within the scope of our service, is it?"

Li Yundi was speechless for a moment.

To be honest, he wanted to cause trouble, but since arriving here, every aspect of the restaurant seemed flawless. Without knowing the depth of the other party, he didn’t have the nerve to make a scene, especially considering Chu Tianxing’s warnings about the place’s ominous nature.

Though he was suspicious, Li Yundi wasn’t foolish.

Regrettably, they had to give up and leave the place.

However, just after they left the restaurant, a tall, over ten-meter-tall mecha warrior appeared outside the restaurant.

Li Yundi had seen such a thing at the Qingyun Base.

This was a mecha controlled by full perception, with strength comparable to a Tier 7 Evolver, incredibly terrifying.

"Hello! I’m the Head of Security of this restaurant. I’ll escort you out of the city!"

The voice of Poison King came from the enormous mecha.

Under Poison King’s escort, the group arrived outside the city.

"Goodness, using a perception-based mecha as security, what kind of setup is this!"

Li Yundi’s subordinates were completely astonished, their understanding thoroughly overturned.

You see, in the Qingyun Base, these things were considered top-notch combat weapons.

As they were about to leave the city area, Li Yundi flashed a sinister smirk and then quietly instructed someone beside him, "Summon your little mouse minions, let’s assess their depth!"
