Luna sent Gu Xi back to the tavern, then went off to deal with other matters.

After all, as long as Gu Xi stayed in Yalidu City, he could发挥 his greatest use—acting as a Double Death converter and replenishing Yalidu City’s population.

So whether he was studying, doing Undead Transformation, or already passed out asleep, as long as he was in Yalidu City, it was fine.

As for the fighting, with the Eldest Princess Anna there, and now that Di Mi had become somewhat useful, Gu Xi no longer needed to personally step in and command.

You could say Gu Xi just needed to behave himself and be a mascot.

So the unconscious Gu Xi was directly tossed into the tavern.

The tavern had just risen to Level 3. Now, besides an extra underground wine cellar, the second floor had gained many guest rooms for customers to rest in.

After Gu Xi was laid down there, the Blood Courtesan, the White Bone Wine Lady, the Painted Skin, and a bunch of other oddities all crowded around Gu Xi’s door, lying there peeking through the crack.

A few who got along better with Gu Xi were even discussing it there.

”What do you think is going on with my lord? Doesn’t he practice the Fitness Skill?”

”How’d he suddenly end up this drained.”

”Didn’t they say my lord collapsed in the Magic Plant District? You think it’s that lecherous Fairy Dragon’s doing?”

”No way, only the Dragon Race finds Fairy Dragons pretty. Normal Humans wouldn’t look twice.”

”That’s normal Humans. Think about it, my lord doesn’t even care about just bones—what’s a dragon to him.”

”Alright, even this busted road you lot can drive on. You really don’t want my lord to ever wake up, huh.”

”...”

Gu Xi, however, knew nothing of this; at the moment he was truly asleep.

In his dreams, Gu Xi only felt like his whole body was soaking in warm water, his entire being being gently nourished. The deficit from his earlier frenzy of studying and doing Undead Transformation was slowly being made up.

He didn’t know how long he slept before he finally squinted his eyes and sat up.

He lifted his head and looked around; in his ears was the sound of someone hammering wood.

It sounded like they were nailing something downstairs.

Gu Xi looked baffled. He flipped over and stood by the bed in one smooth motion, pushed open the door, and looked out.

”What’s going on? Did the tavern get upgraded again?”

”My lord, you’re awake?” Seeing Gu Xi awake, the tavern’s owner, the White Bone Wine Lady, appeared in front of him immediately.

”Yeah. How long did I sleep? What’s going on, did the tavern reach Level 4?”

Gu Xi asked curiously.

”My lord, you’ve already slept for three days.”

The White Bone Wine Lady spoke as she took Gu Xi’s hand, saying, ”I imagine my lord must be hungry. I’ll have someone prepare food right away.

As for down here, someone bought a large batch of Furnace Stones at the Demon Chaos Market.

The quality of these Furnace Stones isn’t great; they can’t be used for cross-game Teleportation.

But Lord Luna said they’re just right for installing fireplaces between taverns, letting people use Furnace Stones to freely travel between different eras of Yalidu City.

They’re installing the new fireplaces downstairs right now.”

With that explanation, Gu Xi finally understood; this was a method for small-scale redeployment of some laborers or Heroes.

This kind of small-scale Elite redeployment was quite suitable for this setup. At this point he asked, ”So that’s how it is. Right, has Yalidu City in the Plantagenet Dynasty period been taken yet?”

”It’s almost taken. Lord Luna has already gone over to Yaliduvi Tower, so I believe it won’t be long before the last Yalidu City is captured.”

”That’s pretty quick then. Have they set up Furnace Stones over at Yaliduvi Tower? I’ll go take a look now.”

Gu Xi immediately wanted to go see the final battle.

”My lord, don’t be in such a rush. You’ve already slept for three days; a little more time won’t matter.

Eat something first before you go.”

Gu Xi was about to say something, but just as he opened his mouth, he felt his stomach growling.

Thinking back to how he’d been constantly doing Undead Transformation, constantly studying and researching before, he hadn’t been eating properly at all.

Then he slept straight for three days on top of that, burning through most of the fat he had stored up.

Now he was so hungry his chest was practically touching his back.

So he might as well sit down and eat a bit.

They’d already come this far; a little more delay wouldn’t matter.

So Gu Xi found a place and sat down.

Before Gu Xi could even speak, the White Bone Wine Lady swiftly started serving dishes for him.

He didn’t know if it was because the style here was closer to Victoria City’s, but there weren’t many types of dishes, and nobody cared about things like whether they were healthy.

As soon as Gu Xi sat down, a slab of ash-gray bread was placed in front of him.

When this bread hit the table, Gu Xi actually heard the sound of it knocking against the tabletop.

[Rock Bread (White): Bread made with a small amount of dirt mixed in. This bread requires special processing before it can be eaten. After consumption, your skin will partially petrify for 1 hour.]

Next came a big pot of soup.

When he saw this pot of soup, Gu Xi dared say that even the Magic Potions he boiled while doing Undead Transformation looked better than this.

The soup was grayish white, with eyeballs floating in it, fingers with sharp fingertips, little pink bits, and some dark, unidentifiable weird objects.

If not for seeing this soup’s Attributes, Gu Xi felt even Ghouls probably wouldn’t eat this stuff; the only likely fate for it would be to feed Bone-devouring Mud.

But after he saw the soup’s Attributes, Gu Xi had to admit, they really knew their customer.

[All-Things Thick Soup (Blue): A thick soup made entirely according to the chef’s mood, with all sorts of ingredients casually tossed in. The taste of this soup is really not that great, but after drinking it, your Physical Strength will be tripled for 1 hour.]

”We’re eating this first thing in the morning?”

Gu Xi glanced at the Rock Bread and All-Things Thick Soup, feeling a bit speechless.

Was this really breakfast food?

This was clearly something you ate in the middle of the night.

Gu Xi was just about to ask if there was anything else when the White Bone Wine Lady brought over two more dishes and a bottle of wine.

[Pink Heart (Green): A specially blended red wine. After drinking it, you’ll feel as if you’re drunk, yet remain exceptionally clear-headed.]

[Grilled River Fish (White): An ordinary grilled river fish, but since river fish usually have the ability to self-discharge, after consumption a layer of tingling current will cover your skin.]

[Beef and Egg Soup (White): Small chunks of beef soaked together with a Vitality Egg, able to restore the eater’s Physical Strength in a short time.]

After placing everything down, the White Bone Wine Lady winked at Gu Xi, ”My lord, this is our latest set meal. Why aren’t you eating?”
