Undead Mage from a Cell

Chapter 201: Chapter 199: Hearty Feast

Loose Immortal Private Soup, according to the owner, this was the place where a loose immortal once bathed with several fairies when he was still around.

However, looking at the brand-new decorations here, it hardly resembles a bathhouse that’s been preserved for a thousand years.

Fortunately, Gu Xi and the others didn’t dwell on this. After helping Du Wushuang wash off the blood stains, Gu Xi sank into the bathtub and didn’t want to move at all.

”This battle was so tough, I almost didn’t make it back.”

Soaking in the bathtub, Gu Xi stretched out his limbs and slowly said.

”Was it really that dangerous on your end?”

”Yeah, among the hundred players guarding the outer nodes, only about thirty survived and came back. The other soldiers were all wiped out.”

Gu Xi turned around in the water, making space for Du Wushuang, allowing her to sit at the other end of the bathtub, ”But we didn’t come out empty-handed this time, at least we didn’t suffer a loss. How about you guys? Did you lose much in this battle?”

”Not really, no significant losses. Discovering the enemy meant all the Death Knights gathered to charge, and then Ghouls or the Black Guard were sent to clean up the battlefield afterwards.

I stuck with the team, barely got to fight anyone.

However, because it was a team battle, I still gained some experience, and we picked up some things after the battlefield cleanup.

The most important thing is that we fought this battle alongside the Sun Knight Order, and I got a Sun Knight Order battle badge, the kind you can paint on the battle banner.”

Talking about her side of things, Du Wushuang couldn’t help but get excited, chattering non-stop.

Gu Xi was also happily sharing his experiences at the Undead Calamity Array.

Sweeping away the gloom in his heart.

The two soaked in the Loose Immortal Private Soup for nearly four hours.

It wasn’t until a server came to notify them that Gu Xi and Du Wushuang’s armor had been cleaned and properly maintained that they finally climbed out of the bathtub.

”Change into a regular outfit, you keep wearing it like this, aren’t you worried about getting skin abrasions?”

Seeing Du Wushuang about to slip directly into her armor, Gu Xi quickly stopped her.

”Oh, okay.”

Du Wushuang hesitated for a moment but eventually agreed. It’s not that she doesn’t like wearing regular clothes because they’re not pretty, but because of her stature.

Wearing regular clothes and going shopping with her best friends always made her feel like a parent taking a primary school kid out.

Now with Gu Xi requesting, there was no reason for Du Wushuang to refuse.

She tied up her hair and put on a little skirt she hadn’t worn for a long time, bouncing along behind Gu Xi.

Gu Xi also changed his clothes, opting for relatively casual attire. If it weren’t for the Cold Wind Staff in his hand, no one would think he was an Undead Mage.

After stepping outside, Gu Xi noticed that almost all the players in the Scattered Immortal Garden had switched to casual attire, it seems other players also understood the importance of relaxing post-battle.

Under Du Wushuang’s guidance, Gu Xi had another great meal outside.

This time, Du Wushuang didn’t bring Gu Xi to have any Dark Injury Meal but took him to enjoy the Death Knights’ favorite: a hearty meal.

The meal was quite something; just after sitting down, a hundred grilled oysters were served.

Followed by two roast beef legs thicker than Gu Xi’s legs, and a twenty-pound roasted lamb rack.

Only after finishing these appetizers did the main course arrive.

Here, there’s no need to inquire about rice or anything; beside every table, there are two barrels, one filled with rice, the other with beer.

”I tell you, this place’s hearty meal is the best, main selling points are affordable and plentiful, and they serve fast. Once you finish, you don’t have to say anything, new dishes will arrive immediately.

If you really can’t eat anymore, just stick the fork and knife into the table; that way, they won’t send more food your way.

But be careful, you only get one chance to stop the service, if you can’t eat anymore, it means you’re ready to leave.

They’ll prepare to turn the table, and won’t serve you anymore.”

Having eaten here a few times, Du Wushuang explained to Gu Xi while wolfing down half the oysters.

Then she picked up the beef leg, snapped the bone with force, and placed it in front of Gu Xi.

”Eat the marrow first, that’s the best part.”

Gu Xi, who was eating oysters, hadn’t reacted yet when the oily marrow was already poured into his mouth.

The rich flavor almost overwhelmed him.

But after a brief pause to adapt, Gu Xi found the taste quite delightful, at least the sensation when swallowing was immensely satisfying.

”Have another drink, how is it, thrilling, right?”

”Really thrilling, it’s delicious!”

”If it’s delicious, eat more.”

Du Wushuang was saying this while winking at Gu Xi.

For some reason, witnessing Du Wushuang’s expression sent a chill down Gu Xi’s spine, an icy sensation directly affecting his waist.

Sensing that something terrible might happen, Gu Xi promptly said, ”Wushuang, I’m going to the warehouse number nine later to pick up goods, can you come with me? My luck isn’t great, last time I didn’t get anything good from the architectural design plan blind box, I need your luck this time.”

”Sure, so is your battle reward an architectural design plan?

Is your city expanding?”

”Yes, besides the architectural design plans, there’s also a lot of materials, this battle helped replenish the parts needed for city construction.

How long are you stationed in this world?”

”Three and a half more years. Originally signed a five-year stationing agreement, with only a week’s vacation each year, no time to get out, sometimes don’t even reach the exit point before time runs out.

You guys have it better, coming temporarily to complete tasks and then leaving.”

Gu Xi wanted to say that he could come back in the future, but he immediately realized this world is a stationed world, their entry was allowed due to the Other Ghost invasion incident.

Normally wanting to enter this world requires signing a three to five-year stationing agreement; without vacation, access isn’t free before the term ends.

Thinking of this, Gu Xi couldn’t help but sigh, losing his appetite.

On the other hand, Du Wushuang had long grown used to such situations. Seeing Gu Xi’s expression, she instead started to laugh.

”No worries, this time is just enough for me to solidify things, three years later, I can advance to Level 5, you better not disown me then.”

”I won’t, I...”

Before Gu Xi could finish speaking, Du Wushuang stuffed another mouthful of beef marrow in his mouth.

Seeing Du Wushuang’s cheerful demeanor, Gu Xi was helpless, the pleasant atmosphere was ruined by her.
