BXBX NOVEL Chapter 7 - No Cheap Stuff! Bring Me the Expensive Dishes!
His money-grinding plan had failed…
Although the account manager dared not voice his anger, as the owner of the Yellow Springs Inn, the boss lady had spoken, Lin Yu had to give her some respect.
He put down the plate, letting the five Yin-energy copper coins dangle at his waist.
“Alright, since the boss lady herself spoke up, I’ll stop.” At the same time, Lin Yu felt somewhat regretful.
If only he had exchanged one hundred thousand ghost currency from the start!
After all, even though he was temporarily safe now, there was no absolute safety in this horror game.
It was certainly beneficial for him to complete the task and get the rewards as early as possible!
“Compensation won’t work… I’ll have to think of another method…”
Lin Yu surveyed the inn, and his gaze fell on the mountain-like fat ghost.
Ah! There were still guests in the shop!
Lin Yu’s eyes lit up, and he hurried over.
“Sir, sorry to keep you waiting!” he spoke with anticipation, looking eagerly at the fat ghost.
He had made up his mind. If the ghost showed even a hint of dissatisfaction, he’d pull out money to compensate!
But unexpectedly, the fierce and menacing-looking ghost’s plump face actually broke into a…
silly grin?
“Oh, it’s fine, no worries!” He waved his hand, saying this, leaving Lin Yu somewhat perplexed.
“How can it be okay? We kept you waiting here for so long!” Lin Yu quickly added.
But still, the ghost didn’t get angry and merely wiped his drool,
“Really, it’s fine! I’m just here to eat, what’s the rush!”
Lin Yu was a bit speechless.
Why is this ghost so easygoing?
Do all fat people have good tempers, even in the underworld?
Where did that initial urge to eat him go?
Of course, Lin Yu didn’t know that if it was anyone else, this ghost would have already taken the chance to act and eaten them!
The reason he didn’t dare to eat Lin Yu was the same as the accountant. He was wary of Lin Yu’s identity!
Yet, even though the ghost had a good temper, Lin Yu didn’t intend to miss this opportunity to complete his task.
“Regardless, keeping you waiting so long was definitely our fault!” Lin Yu declared righteously, “How about this. You let me cover your meal today!”
After hearing this, the fat ghost hesitated.
Judging by his size and the fact that he was drooling at Lin Yu and Xiao Li when he first entered, it was clear he enjoyed eating!
So, after a bit of hesitation, he didn’t refuse anymore,
“Well… thank you very much!” Since he was taking from Lin Yu, the fat ghost respectfully addressed him.
“It’s nothing, no need to be polite!”
Lin Yu glanced at the price list on the wall and noticed that the most expensive item, “Yin Spring Nourishing Soup,” was only one hundred coins. He couldn’t help but sigh at the inn’s humble standards.
After a moment, the fat ghost hesitantly suggested, “Well… how about one of everything on the menu?”
Lin Yu looked at him.
This guy really knew how to play along!
When he said not to be polite, he truly took it to heart!
Compared to dealing with humans, Lin Yu found that dealing with ghosts was far simpler.
If it was a person, they might have feigned politeness, or even felt he was showing off!
At this moment, the account manager eagerly chimed in,
“Every dish, one of each? Do you need me to inform the kitchen?” he said to Lin Yu in a fawning manner.
After all, if breaking the plates earlier had a bit of pettiness to it, Lin Yu was now genuinely handing out money freely!
For someone who spent money so lavishly and without care… was there any reason not to flatter him?
Lin Yu looked at the accountant’s fawning expression, amused, and then glanced at the fat ghost, shaking his head, “Don’t listen to him — there aren’t that few dishes here!”
The fat ghost looked slightly disappointed, giving an embarrassed smile, “My mistake!”
The accountant shot the fat ghost a look, “You really have no shame!”
But in the next second, Lin Yu’s words shocked both ghosts once again.
“Any dish under thirty coins, don’t bring it. For those over thirty, bring him two portions each!”
Lin Yu said, and both the account manager and the fat ghost stood there, mouths agape.
Lin Yu casually tossed two units of money on the table, and the account manager picked one up, offering an embarrassed smile,
“Um, with that order… It only totals eight hundred ninety coins… No need for this much!”
“Alright, round it up to a thousand coins, and don’t break it down,” Lin Yu replied confidently, “Brother, do you drink?”
The fat ghost shook his head repeatedly, “This is already more than enough… Truly more than enough…”
Seeing this, Lin Yu felt a little disappointed.
“Alright then!”
He opened his task panel,
【Task Content: Accumulate expenditure exceeding 100,000 (60,000/100,000)】
“Another thousand coins spent…”
He stroked his chin, thinking.
Then he looked over at Xiao Li, who was standing dumbfounded in the corner,
A new plan began to form in his mind.
“Hey, Xiao Li, come over here!”
