Chapter 319 - Return To Battle City
As we were almost at the gate of Battle City all I had in my mind as I patted little light, other than making sure I still had the purified crystals that I left for certain situations, was… getting some actual real sleep!
After all, while I did go on a streak of almost 4 continuous days of sleep after getting affected by the 'Blood Burning Curse', it was a half awake sleeping session as I actually experienced a part of what seemed to be a dragon's life, not to mention the fact that it was another 'ground sleep' which only made me more expectant of a sleep at the super comfy bed provided by the 'Hotel'.
I did have my own bed situated inside the ring, but I had tasks to be done which I decided to prioritize before I returned to battle city and using the rest of my time having some fun sleeping, and of course some quality food!
I still had to refill my 1 month reserve for the 'Dragon's stomach' which was mostly depleted, so eating a lot was a must, as for sleep, it wasn't vitally needed thanks to my high Constitution, but I just wanted to do it for my own mind relief and enjoyment…
"Your…"
Having already reached Battle City's gate, I didn't give the guards the chance to ask for my identification as I swiftly took out my tag which still had the number one on and showed it to them to save myself the time as I was already imagining myself eating… some of those savory noodles!
It obviously wasn't hard for the guards to understand what my tag implied as they let me in with extra respect, probably because to them, I was bound to reach a certain height when I join a big sect, which is why they didn't mind treating me better even if it was just to leave me a good impression of them.
I didn't really bother much though, as I just took this chance to leave quickly and head to my target, which was naturally Mountain's brother's noodle shop, if I was going to fill my stomach, then I was naturally going to do using the food that already captured my stomach's heart!
It did take me some time to walk there as I couldn't just run around inside the city, but I was finally able to reach my destination as I went in immediately.
Unlike the last time I was there, the shop had some customers who were already inside savoring their noodles slowly, it was pretty much obvious they were fellow men of culture… I mean fellow men of great taste.
However, as soon as I reached for a chair of my own, I found Mountain already in my view!
"What would you like to get, dear customer?"
'This… isn't Mountain…'
I only managed to notice when I got a full view of the guy, that he was actually wearing an apron, and had a small note with him, as he seemed to be collecting orders…
'So that guy last time wasn't the cook?'
I didn't really think deeply as to why Mountain and the server who I thought was the cook last time didn't look alike, but now that I saw this identical copy, it wasn't hard to understand that this was Mountain's twin brother, who looked somewhat hilarious in this attire since I already saw Mountain…
"Hmmm, can I get 10 servings of the biggest noodle bowls that you have here? Also, do you serve any type of meat here…?" I was going to go all out if I wanted to fill my dragon's stomach, but I wasn't going to just eat carbs all day without any addition of proteins.
"10 servings? Are you sure you can finish them? Don't you know of this shop's policy when dealing with those who waste food?" the big guy squinted his eyes as he questioned.
"Don't worry, I will finish them…" I was naturally confident in finishing not to mention ten, maybe even 30 servings!
"Ok then, you are a paying customer, so I will not stop you, but you will have to deal with the consequences on your own, as for meat… we got the roasted chicken special dish as a side, spice covered potatoes are a part of that set," the big guy relaxed his expression as he simply shrugged before replying to my early question.
"Chicken… That's great! I will 4- make it 5 sets and add 5 more servings to the noodles please, of course you don't need to worry about me finishing them, I will also pay upfront," I ordered more as it was almost the perfect meal for me, after all, my favorite type of meat was obviously chicken!
"Alright, that will be 1 gold coin and 88 silver."
"Here you go, do keep the change," I said as I took out two gold coins from my empty magical coin pouch, this price might sound insane in a place like Green Earth Village, but everything was expensive here in Battle City, and most of the people here were happy to pay whatever.
After all, Battle City almost acted as somewhat of a tourism spot where sect members would come to have fun, watch battles and even gain some experience, so it was the norm to get overpriced services, though to me, the price of the noodles seemed to be underpriced instead, it was simply that good.
"Sure, the order will come out soon," the big guy replied casually as he didn't seem to mind that much, he simply went into the kitchen and started working.
The shop itself was kind of simple, the number of the customers wasn't overwhelming and Mountain's twin seemed to do all the work himself, it took quite a while, like a solid 30 minutes before he started moving out the dishes.
'Let's fill this stomach then!'
By the time the first bowl was put in front of me, my chopsticks had already attacked it!
