"Wow!"
Standing by the window, leaning on the windowsill, Hei Dou stretched his head out to look, and couldn't help but exclaim.
"How high is this?"
Hei Dou, with his eyes wide open, glanced at Luo Ni who was sitting at the table.
"Sister Luo Ni, this..."
"This inn is called the Nine Heavens, with a total height of 184 meters," Luo Ni Ai Er Dun explained with a smile. "The inn has 16 floors, with a distance of 10 meters between each floor, connected by spatial displacement arrays. We are currently on the highest floor of this inn."
"My goodness!"
Upon learning this, Hei Dou cried out in surprise and looked out the window again.
From his vantage point,
He could see patches of hazy clouds, making him feel as if he were amidst the clouds.
"How is it?"
After explaining, Luo Ni smiled and looked at Chen Yu.
"Astonishing."
Chen Yu nodded slightly to affirm.
He wasn't truly shocked by a mere 184-meter structure; outside the catacombs, countless skyscrapers existed, with the Oriental Pearl Tower reaching nearly 500 meters.
Compared to this modest 184 meters, Chen Yu truly didn't pay much attention.
What truly amazed him was the method of constructing tall buildings in the catacombs. As they followed Luo Ni to the inn, they had directly stepped into a glowing white spatial entrance.
Much like the jumping between catacomb planes.
When they reappeared, they were already at an altitude of 180 meters.
Moreover, the construction of this inn was also magical; the floors were connected by magic arrays, which opened up a new world for Chen Yu.
His city construction still had some rigid thinking.
He still thought of constructing skyscrapers like those outside the catacombs, using steel bars and cement. However, due to the lack of technology within the catacombs, his city construction was limited to three-story garden villas.
He had forgotten that the catacombs were a world of swords and magic.
The outside world possessed advanced construction technology, but the catacombs also held mysterious and unfathomable magic.
If there was an opportunity in the future, he would definitely bring Fang Xiu here to see. After he witnessed the construction style and methods of the catacombs, perhaps it would inspire him greatly.
Hearing Chen Yu's praise, Luo Ni grinned proudly.
"Don't be discouraged, and don't underestimate yourself. With the strong support of my Ai Er Dun family, your small city will also flourish."
"I believe that," Chen Yu said with a smile.
Luo Ni was unaware of the Ai Er Dun family's current predicament, and Chen Yu wouldn't tell her. Since Fu Hua Ai Er Dun had agreed to let her enter the royal city, it meant he wanted Luo Ni to experience it herself.
At this moment, she was still the beloved young lady, the center of attention. wΑp.kanshu伍.net
As they chatted, the inn had brought up the dishes Luo Ni Ai Er Dun had ordered. There were over twenty varieties of dishes, filling the entire table.
Smelling the aroma, Hei Dou, who had been by the window, swiftly returned to his seat.
"Whoohoo!" Hei Dou grinned, rubbing his little hands. "This is too lavish! It looks delicious, and it must be very expensive."
"It's alright."
Luo Ni Ai Er Dun smiled nonchalantly and shrugged.
"The minimum spend on the top floor is 10,000 gold coins. This table of dishes is less than 30,000 gold coins, so it's not particularly expensive. It's mainly because it's your first time in the main city, and I wanted to treat you well."
???
Hei Dou, who had been rubbing his hands, froze for a moment and subconsciously looked at Chen Yu.
Was this the legitimate daughter of the Ai Er Dun family?
30,000 gold coins.
She said it as if it were as simple as 3 copper coins.
The meal on their table alone was equivalent to the wages of tens of thousands of common people for a year.
Although Hei Dou had always been by Chen Yu's side and had grown accustomed to incomes in the tens of millions of gold coins, he also knew that 30,000 gold coins was by no means a small sum.
One could only say that the Ai Er Dun family was truly wealthy.
"All the dishes are served, please try them," Luo Ni Ai Er Dun said with a smile. "The taste of the dishes here is quite good, but compared to the royal city, it's still slightly inferior. When we enter the royal city, I'll treat you to a better meal then. This one is just to fill our stomachs."
"Then, I won't be polite."
Hei Dou was not hesitant and immediately picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks.
As the fish entered his mouth,
Hei Dou's eyes widened, and he looked sideways.
"Boss, try this fish."
Chen Yu, with a hint of suspicion, also picked up a piece. The moment the fish entered his mouth, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows subconsciously and exclaimed in his heart.
Delicious!
It was indeed the main city of the kingdom; the cooking of the food was much more refined than in the outer cities. Even Chen Yu's exquisite roasted meat would have to concede to this flavor.
No wonder Luo Ni Ai Er Dun hadn't been overly surprised when tasting his exquisite roasted meat.
Having tasted such delicacies,
Chen Yu's roasted meat was merely passable in her opinion.
"Not bad, right?"
Luo Ni rested her chin on her hands, her beautiful eyes filled with a smile. Chen Yu nodded and took another bite of other dishes.
They were all delicious.
At the dining table, Hei Dou devoured the food like a hungry wolf. Compared to Hei Dou's unrefined eating, the little demon was much more composed.
After all, she was a great devil, and she had eaten such food countless times.
For a full half an hour—
Chen Yu and the others were all full and satisfied. Hei Dou leaned back in his chair, patting his round belly, and let out a comfortable burp.
"Ah... so satisfying."
He was truly stuffed this time. He vaguely recalled the last time he was stuffed was when he first tasted Chen Yu's exquisite roasted meat, which had made him unable to walk.
He had thought that exquisite roasted meat was already a delicacy, but he never expected there to be something even more delicious.
"Boss, this tastes better than our roasted meat, but don't worry, I don't mean to be displeased. I'm just expressing my personal opinion." Hei Dou grinned.
"Isn't that normal?"
Chen Yu didn't pay much attention.
His roasted meat was only worth 300 resource points, which converted to 30 copper coins. This table of dishes cost 30,000 gold coins, meaning each dish was over 1,000 gold coins.
Converted to copper coins, that was a staggering 10 million copper coins.
The difference was obvious.
Chen Yu's exquisite roasted meat was primarily aimed at the consumption of the lower-class populace, and he had never expected his exquisite roasted meat to rival royal delicacies.
With his exquisite cooking skills, if he were given the same ingredients and seasonings,
He was confident he could do better than this inn.
"Rest for a while, I'll pay the bill." Luo Ni raised her hand with a smile, and the inn's service staff hurried over.
"May I help you?"
"The bill."
"Oh, your table's total consumption was..." The server flipped through a notebook, and when he saw the number, he clearly paused.
He then rubbed his eyes vigorously and stared at the bill for a long time.
"How much was the consumption?" Luo Ni Ai Er Dun had taken out her crystal card, but she heard the server muttering, scratching his head, "Your table consumed 27.45 million purple-gold coins."
Luo Ni's hand, holding the crystal card, trembled. Chen Yu and Barbara, who were leaning against their chairs, both looked at the server.
"What did you say? 27 million, purple-gold coins?"
