Online Cultivation
episode 94

After spending a few minutes mentioning almost every dish on the menu, Yuan finally put the menu on the table and said, "That's all from me."

The waiter over there would love to shout, ‘This is really all of you!’

Fortunately, the waiter managed to suppress his thoughts and replied with a stiff smile on his face, “Thank you, honored guest. I'll tell the head … "

The waiter then left.

However, the maid returned a few minutes later with a middle-aged man who did not seem to work there with his luxurious appearance.

As soon as the two stood by their table, the middle-aged man said with a friendly smile on his face, “Excuse me, esteemed guest. My name is Cen Wenben, and I am the manager of this restaurant. It seems that you have ordered a large amount of food from us, and I would like to thank you for that. However, due to the increase in customers eating and eating lately, we have to ask for prepayment as a form of insurance. 50 percent of the total amount is enough.”

"That makes sense ..." Yuan nodded and asked, "How much is the entire bill?"

"5,400 gold coins, honored guest .." said Cen Wenben quickly.

“5,400 gold coins ?!” Yuan's eyes widened in shock. This restaurant was at least 10 times more expensive than the fancy restaurant he had visited before that cost him 500 gold coins! As expected of one of the richest cities in the world, everything was extremely expensive!

‘I really should start paying attention to the price of each item ..’ Yuan noted to himself as he took out 5,400 gold coins and handed them to the manager.

"I'll pay the full amount now."

“Thank you, honored guest! And I deeply apologize for this inconvenience!” The smile on Cen Wenben's face widened after he received the money, and he bowed to them before leaving them alone again.

“Spending thousands of gold on food only a person like you can spend so much money, brother” Yu Rou said to him afterwards.

"Haha .." Yuan laughed awkwardly, as he was overzealous and forgot to see the price before it was too late. In fact, at least he was not as poor as before, where 500 gold coins was enough to make him completely bankrupt.

About twenty minutes later, the food they ordered started to come in one by one, and they immediately started eating the food, especially Yuan, that had basically become a food monster and stuffed food into his mouth as if they were nothing, allowing the waiter to continue to put the dishes on the table without filling it up too much.

"Brother ..." Yu Rou was startled by her seemingly limitless belly. How did so much food get into her body? It also made her worry that she might not feed him enough in the real world because the amount of soup he gave her was really nothing compared to the amount he ate now” was almost like comparing a drop of water with the whole ocean.

“Brother Tian, should I increase the amount of soup I give you? If that's not enough, you can tell me, you know? I was afraid that I would starve you to death after seeing how much you can eat now” Yu Rou said to him moments later.

“Haha Don't worry about that, Yu Rou. I only have this appetite every time I am in this world. A bowl of soup alone is more than enough to fill my stomach outside.” Yuan said to him.

Hearing their conversation, Xiao Hua suddenly spoke, Brother Yuan's “Feeds might be caused by his unique physique. Moreover, since Cultivators expend more energy than normal people, we also need to eat more. Of course, we usually replace the difference with the spiritual energy we absorb with some Cultivators even change their diet to spiritual energy only.”

"So, you told me that Cultivators can survive without food as long as they absorb spiritual energy in the air?" Yu Rou asked.

"That's fine. A Cultivator at the Brother Yuan level could last a month without food, but he had to drink water at least once a week. Once a Cultivator reaches the Spirit Grandmaster realm, they can stop eating or drinking completely and survive with just spiritual energy.” Xiao Hua said.

“I understand” Yu Rou nodded, and she went back to eating her food.

About an hour later, as soon as the table had nothing but empty plates left, Yuan said as he patted his round belly, "What should we do now, Yu Rou?"

"Can you do anything other than sit in that state, brother?" Yu Rou responded with a smile on her face.

"I'll be fine" he nodded.

“Well, I'm full too, so I don't want to do anything right now. However, I don't want to just sit around and do nothing, so let's explore this city until it's time for me to leave, ”follow Yu Rou.

"That sounds good" Yuan said.

After sitting around for a few more minutes, Yuan and Yu Rou proceeded to take a walk around the city, almost like they were taking a walk in the park.

Although Xiao Hua saw Yu Rou as a rival for Yuan's attention, when he saw the excitement on Yuan's face whenever he talked to her” or even looked at Yu Rou, she said, he could not allow anyone to disturb that happiness, because he was afraid that he would do so. to experience the cold aura coming from Yuan again every time someone messed with Yu Rou before him, she said, something that gave his body goosebumps even now if he tried to recall his cold gaze.

After spending a few odd peaceful hours inside a city as big as Phoenix City mostly due to Xiao Hua's protection, Yu Rou came out of the game to cook dinner for Yuan.

Yuan decided to stay in the game for a few more minutes to spend time with Xiao Hua until it was time for dinner.

After logging off, Yu Rou started feeding him dinner.

However, after drinking his bowl of soup, Yuan spoke in a confused voice, “Yu Rou, did you make less soup today? My stomach is not full as usual”

It was strange not to be full after drinking a bowl of soup, because usually he would feel quite full afterwards.

"Huh? That's not possible. I did not change the number,” Yu Rou replied in a surprised voice.

“However, if you are still hungry, I can make you another bowl of soup

“No, it's okay. I am not hungry, but I am not full either. Such a feeling,” Yuan said to him.

"Okay, then I'll cook a little more tomorrow morning," Yu Rou nodded.

“By the way, your room is finally clean again, brother. However, since you're already here, let's sleep together for one more night, since we usually don't do this. ”

"OK," said Yuan.

"I'll make sure I'm ready for school tomorrow, you can sleep first." Yu Rou said to him before leaving the room.

Normally, Yuan would agree with him and go to sleep, but now that he had become a Cultivator in the real world as well, he wanted to cultivate whenever he had time. Although he was not sure that cultivation could help his condition, it would not hurt to try.

‘Perhaps the reason a bowl of soup is not enough for me is because I am now a Cultivator, who will need me to consume more energy?’ Yuan pondered to himself before he started reciting the cultivation technique in his mind, slowly absorbing the spiritual energy around him.

‘Xiao Hua is right, I can now feel the spiritual energy in this room now that I have become a Cultivator. This means that I am not dreaming and that I have actually become a true Cultivator in this world as well!’ Yuan was filled with enthusiasm for the future.

Even if becoming a Cultivator would not help him move or see again, if he cultivated enough, perhaps he would also be able to use Divine Sense in this world, too, and it will be worth all the effort.

And with that in mind, Yuan began to focus on cultivating.

Half an hour later, Yu Rou returned to the room, and she mistook Yuan's cultivation as sleep because her breathing pattern was completely relaxed and seemed rhythmic.

Since I was in the store at that time, I didn't see any announcements, but someone would have to make an announcement if they made the Divine Beasts their servants, right? Oh well, I will see after I go online,’ Yu Rou thought inwardly while starting to surf the internet.

And as he had expected, when he opened the forum, all he could see was ‘The Yuan’ player mentioned in the title, and his presence filled almost the entire page.

[Yuan players made headlines again! And this time he obtained the Divine Beast as a Servant!]

[Absplendent! Player Yuan has obtained another Servant” Divine Beast!]

[What level might this Divine Beast have?!]

[If you know Player Yuan, I'm willing to pay 1 billion dollars if you can reveal his true identity to me!]

‘One billion dollars, huh? It was quite a tempting offer, but unfortunately, I will not betray Brother Tian even if you offer me a world’ Yu Rou shook her head, and she started reading all the posts mentioning Yuan.
