Undead Mage from a Cell

Chapter 1139: Chapter 1137: Dining (Extra Chapter for Subscription)

Interested.

Who wouldn’t be interested in such a large treasure outside the city?

But have you ever wondered, if the Wilderness District is just there, why hasn’t anyone gone exploring on their own?

Gu Xi shook his head, and he realized from the start of Creation, there have been constant troubles.

The reason he stayed in Ancestor City for a month and a half without any issues.

Was not because nothing happened during that month and a half.

But because the events were so significant, they didn’t affect little guys like them.

At this moment, Gu Xi finally understood his place again.

He was still too weak.

Laying a solid foundation was right, but his Level also needed to be increased.

After the start of Creation, he would go all out to level up.

Without saying anything else, Gu Xi had made up his mind to reach Level 15 before the first battle starts.

Preferably, he could reach Level 20 before the third battle begins.

That way, even if his plan to avoid the third battle had issues, he would have the ability to protect himself.

As Gu Xi fell silent, the guiding player didn’t say much more.

While leading the way, chatting is allowed to go freely.

But when Gu Xi was clearly not interested, further persuasion would be problematic.

The guiding player, although chatty, had some sense.

Gu Xi didn’t want to talk, so he didn’t say more.

At this moment, the third canteen had arrived, and the guiding player said to Gu Xi, ”Guest, the canteen is here, please dismount here.”

”Thank you!”

Gu Xi flipped and jumped off the Evil Coffin.

Just as the player had indicated, even before entering the canteen, Gu Xi smelled an overwhelming aroma.

Even without sitting down to eat, Gu Xi already felt his body lighten significantly.

It seems that this third canteen has something special.

With these thoughts, Gu Xi pushed open the door to the third canteen.

Upon entering, Gu Xi immediately saw six signs placed at the entrance.

The signs listed the head chefs’ names, along with the number of available spots left below.

Scanning quickly, the first chef listed was Master Wu, as mentioned by the player.

Besides everything introduced by the player, there was a condition: whatever he cooks, the guests eat, and guests cannot choose dishes.

Even with such stringent rules, his spots were already sold out.

However, Master Niu, who was listed later, still had one spot available.

Gu Xi thought for a moment and turned to the approaching attendant, saying, ”I’m looking for Master Niu.”

”This way, please.”

The attendant looked Gu Xi over and then gestured to lead Gu Xi to the second floor.

But as he led the way, the attendant was somewhat puzzled.

Gu Xi’s reaction was like a regular customer who had been there many times.

Yet he hadn’t seen him before.

Despite the curiosity, he still led Gu Xi to the spot.

It was an island counter where diners could see the chefs directly.

Sitting there allowed direct interaction with the chef and an immediate view of the culinary process.

This ensures that diners feel assured and happy with their meal.

As Gu Xi sat down, the white-robed chef at the center of the island counter asked, ”Dear guest, do you have any food preferences?”

”No cilantro.”

Gu Xi calmly replied.

After realizing that small details could reveal his information, Gu Xi’s attitude toward food had changed.

Besides avoiding cilantro, he wasn’t picky and would eat whatever was served.

Master Niu nodded, glanced over Gu Xi, and then poured a glass of water for him.

”This is the snow water from Holy Snow Mountain, beneficial for your current situation.”

Gu Xi was puzzled at the mention of his ”current situation.” What did it mean?

Although filled with questions, Gu Xi didn’t hesitate; he picked up the glass and took a sip, feeling a coolness in his mind. The exhaustion from restless nights on the Holy Silver Evil Coffin and the library’s note-taking and reading efforts were replenished at that moment.

This is something remarkable.

Gu Xi thought to himself.

He picked up the water glass again and drank deeply.

He hadn’t even put down the glass when he noticed Master Niu smiling at him.

Gu Xi was puzzled; he hadn’t done anything unusual.

Then suddenly, Gu Xi’s eyes began to sting, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

At that moment, Master Niu suddenly said, ”It seems the guest is truly tired; otherwise, you wouldn’t consume the snow water like that.”

After crying, Gu Xi felt his energy significantly restored.

Although his Attributes didn’t increase, some things are evident to the players without needing to ask.

At that moment, Gu Xi felt like when he took in the Fire of Life or gained the Power of Life through the Dragon Burial Vein.

Except, back then, it strengthened his Life Force; this time, it enhanced Spiritual Power.

Of course, the snow water couldn’t compare to the Fire of Life.

Gu Xi felt that this enhancement would last at most three to five days.

But in those three to five days, Gu Xi would be extraordinarily spirited. Without mentioning anything else, maintaining a clear mind was assured.

If, in those three to five days, Gu Xi gained Levels or learned something new, it would be enhanced.

Seeing Gu Xi tear up, Master Niu chuckled, handed Gu Xi a napkin, and placed a roasted fruit before him.

”This is a roasted Vermilion Fruit. Give it a try.”

Gu Xi glanced at the fruit the size of a Holy Girl Fruit, puzzled. This is Vermilion Fruit?

Despite the confusion, Gu Xi swallowed the roasted Vermilion Fruit in one bite.

In the next moment, blood spurted from Gu Xi’s eyes, ears, and body.

The sensation seemed like it was draining his blood completely.

Yet, Gu Xi wasn’t scared, surprisingly.

He felt that, in that moment, his hidden and internal injuries were rapidly healing.

This healing was mild, though, and stopped after a moment.

Curious, Gu Xi raised his head.

And at that moment, Master Niu had already prepared and served the next dish.

It was a slice of meat no bigger than a pair of glasses’ lens. Cut squarely, both sides roasted, but clearly not overcooked, still bloody inside.

”This is Blood Dragon Meat. Normally, it should be eaten with blood, but that disperses vitality, so I roasted a bit to lock the Dragon Blood inside. Try it!”
