After spending a few minutes enjoying almost every dish on the menu, Yusri finally put the menu on the table and said, "That's all from me."
The waiter over there had the urge to shout out loudly, 'This is really all of you!'
Fortunately, the maid managed to suppress her thoughts and responded with a stiff smile on her face, "Thank you, dear guests. I'll tell the head..."
The waiter then left.
However, the maid returned a few minutes later with a middle-aged man who did not seem to work there with his luxurious appearance.
As soon as the two stood by their table, the middle-aged man said with a friendly smile on his face, "Sorry, honored guest. My name is Cen Wenben, and I am the manager of this restaurant. It seems that you have ordered a large amount of food from us, and I would like to thank you for that. However, as there has been an increase in customers eating and running lately, we have had to ask for prepayments as a form of insurance. 50 percent of the total amount is enough."
"That makes sense..." Yusri nodded his head and asked, "How much does the entire bill cost?"
"5,400 gold coins, honored guest..." Cen Wenben quickly said.
"5,400 gold coins?!" Yusri's eyes widened in surprise. This restaurant was at least 10 times more expensive than the fancy restaurant he had visited before which cost 500 gold coins! As expected of one of the richest cities in the world, everything was extremely expensive!
'I really have to start paying attention to the price of each item...' Yusri took notes to himself as he took out 5,400 gold coins and handed them over to the manager.
"I'll pay the full amount now."
"Thank you, honored guest! And I deeply apologize for this inconvenience!" The smile on Cen Wenben's face widened after he received the money, and he bowed to them before leaving them alone again.
"Spending thousands of gold on food.only someone like you can spend so fancy, brother..." Angel said to him afterwards.
"Well..." Yusri laughed awkwardly, as he was too excited and forgot to see the price before it was too late. In fact, at least he was not as poor as before, where 500 gold coins was enough to make him completely bankrupt.
About twenty minutes later, the food they ordered began to come one by one, and they soon began to eat the food, especially Yusri, which had basically become a food monster and stuffed food into his mouth as if it was nothing, allowing the servants to continue to put the dishes on the table without overcharging it.
"My brother..." Angel is struck by her seemingly limitless stomach. How could so much food fit inside her body? It also made him worry that he might not feed him enough in the real world because the amount of soup he gave him was really nothing compared to the amount he was devouring right now - it was almost like comparing a drop of water with an entire ocean.
"Brother Yusri, should I increase the amount of soup I feed you? If that's not enough, you can tell me, you know? I'm afraid you'll starve you to death after seeing how much you can eat right now..." Angel said to him a moment later.
"Haha... Don't worry about it, Angel. I only have this appetite every time I am in this world. One bowl of soup was more than enough to fill my stomach outside." Yusri said to him.
Hearing their conversation, Melia suddenly spoke, "Brother Yusri's appetite might be caused by his unique physique. Furthermore, since Cultivators expend more energy than normal people, we also need to eat more. Of course, we usually replace the difference with the spiritual energy we absorb with some Cultivators even changing their diet to spiritual energy alone."
"So you told me that Cultivators can survive without food as long as they absorb spiritual energy in the air?" Angel asked.
"really so. A Cultivator at Brother Yusri level could last a month without food, but he had to drink water at least once a week. Once a Cultivator reached the Spirit Grandmaster realm, they could stop eating or drinking completely and survive with only spiritual energy." Melia says.
"That's it..." Angel nodded, and she came back to eat her food.
About an hour later, as soon as the table had nothing but empty plates left, Yusri said as he patted his round belly, "What should we do now, Angel?"
"Can you do anything other than sit in that state, brother?" Angel responded with a smile on her face.
"I'll be fine" he nodded.
"Well, I'm full too, so I don't want to do anything right now. However, I don't want to just sit around and do nothing, so let's explore this city until it's time for me to leave" Angel advises.
"That sounds good" Yusri said.
After sitting around for a few more minutes, Yusri and Angel went on to take a walk around the city, almost like they were taking a walk in the park.
Although Melia sees Angel as a rival when she sees the excitement on Yusri's face every time she talks to—or even sees Angel, she can't let anyone disturb that happiness, because he was afraid that he might have to experience the cold aura coming from Yusri again every time someone messed up Angel before him, something that gave his body goosebumps even now if he tried to recall his cold gaze.
After spending a few oddly peaceful hours inside a city as big as Phoenix City mostly due to Melia's protection, Angel comes out of the game to cook dinner for Yusri.
Yusri decides to stay in the game for a few more minutes to spend time with Melia until it's time for dinner.
After logging out, Angel started feeding him dinner.
However, after drinking his bowl of soup, Yusri spoke in a confused voice, "Angel, did you make less soup today? My stomach isn't full as usual..."
It was a strange feeling not to be full after drinking a bowl of soup, as he would usually feel quite full afterwards.
"Huh? That's not possible. I didn't change the number" Angel replied in a surprised voice.
"However, if you're still hungry, I can make you another bowl of soup..."
"No, it's okay. I am not hungry, but I am not full either. Such a feeling," Yusri said to her.
"Okay, then I'll cook a little more tomorrow morning" Angel nodded.
"By the way, your room is finally clean again, brother. However, since you're already here, let's sleep together for one more night, since we usually don't do this."
"OK," said Yusri.
"I'll make sure I'm ready for school tomorrow, you can sleep first." Angel told him before leaving the room.
Normally, Yusri would agree with him and go to sleep, but now that he had become a Cultivator in the real world as well, he wanted to cultivate whenever he had time. Although he was not sure that cultivating might help his condition, it would not hurt to try.
'Perhaps the reason a bowl of soup is not enough for me is because I am now a Cultivator, which requires me to consume more energy?' Yusri pondered to himself before he started reciting the cultivation technique in his mind, slowly absorbing the spiritual energy around him.
'Melia was right, I can now feel the spiritual energy in this room now that I have become a Cultivator. This means that I am not dreaming and that I have truly become a true Cultivator in this world as well!' Yusri was filled with enthusiasm for the future.
Even if becoming a Cultivator would not help him move or see again, if he cultivated enough, perhaps he would also be able to use the Divine Sense in this world, too, and it will be worth all the effort.
And with that in mind, Yusri began to focus on cultivating.
Half an hour later, Angel returned to the room, and she mistakenly mistook Yusri's cultivation as sleep because her breathing pattern was completely relaxed and seemed to rhythmic.
Since I was in the store back then, I didn't see any announcement, but someone had to make an announcement if they made the Divine Beast their servant, right? Oh well, I'll see once I get online, ' Angel thought to herself as she started surfing the internet.
And as he expected, when he opened the forum, all he could see was 'Yusri Player' mentioned in the title, and his presence filled almost the entire page.
[Yusri's player made headlines again! And this time he obtained the Divine Beast as a Servant!]
[Excellent! Player Yusri has got another Servant— Divine Beast!]
[How many classes could this Divine Beast possibly be?!]
[If you know Player Yusri, I'm willing to pay 1 billion dollars if you can reveal his true identity to me!]
'One billion dollars, huh? It was quite a tempting offer, but unfortunately, I will not betray Brother Yusri even if you offer me the world...' Angel shook her head, and she started reading all the posts mentioning Yusri
