The few of them chatted when the waiter knocked on the door.
Winnie’s eyes lit up.
“The dishes are here!”
Zhuo Ming, who was sitting by the door, opened it.
A waiter in a white uniform came in with a pot of dishes.
It was a pot of yellow vegetables, and there was a strange smell coming from it.
The expressions of Lu Yuan, Wang Xiangxiang, and the others changed slightly.
“What dish is this?”
“This is the specialty of this restaurant, durian fat sausage,” Winnie said with a smug smile. “It’s not bad, you must try it. ”
Lu Yuan: “???”
He widened his eyes and looked at Winnie in disbelief.
You’re such a quiet little girl, I didn’t expect you to like to eat this kind of thing!
Not only Lu Yuan, but Wang Xiangxiang, Cao Yan, and Mo Li’s expressions also changed slightly.
“Durian fat sausage? Can this be eaten?”
They looked at the yellow substance on the table and were dumbfounded.
Winnie picked up a piece of sausage and put it in her mouth. She smiled and said,”
“It’s very delicious. Aren’t you guys eating?”
Lu Yuan silently shook his head.
“I’ll wait for the next dish. ”
“I’m next too. ”
Wang Xiangxiang silently pushed the dish towards Winnie.
Cao Yan and the others also shook their heads, indicating that they couldn’t bring themselves to say it.
Only Zhuo Ming hesitated for a moment, then picked up his chopsticks and took a bite.
“Not bad!” His eyes lit up.
Winnie saw Zhuo Ming’s expression and smiled. “Right? it’s a waste if you don’t eat it.”
She shook her head in regret.
What Lu Yuan was thinking now was that there was a reason for this shop to be called nine walnuts.
Did people who could eat a dish like durian fat sausage really not need to eat walnuts to nourish their brains?
Fortunately, other than the durian fat sausage, the rest of the dishes tasted pretty good.
Lu Yuan and the others were very satisfied with the food.
It was already past nine o’ clock when they finished eating.
The night had fallen. Even in the residential alley, the bright neon lights could still be seen not far away.
Wang Xiangxiang stood up and stretched her back, revealing her beautiful curves.
“Let’s go. It’s time to go back. We still have to go to the Land of Origin tonight. It’s time to break the gene lock. ”
Cao Yan glanced at Wang Xiangxiang with a hint of envy in his eyes.”
“Xiangxiang, you might be able to break through to rank one before the college entrance exam. It’s a little difficult for me as I’m only at 98%. I’m afraid there won’t be enough time to break the genetic lock once the refinement reaches 100%.”
Wang Xiangxiang grinned. “Don’t be in a hurry. There’s still time. If we’re lucky, we might be able to obtain a raw gemstone directly. When that happens, breaking the genetic lock will be a piece of cake.”
Cao Yan shook his head with a bitter smile.
“Forget it, let’s go back.”
They went downstairs and Lu Yuan paid the bill.
It cost a total of 692 Yuan.
If it was the Lu Yuan from before, it would be almost a month’s living expenses.
However, to the current Lu Yuan, this price was completely acceptable.
He had a few million in savings.
After settling the bill, everyone left the restaurant.
Wang Xiangxiang giggled and patted Lu Yuan’s shoulder, saying,”
“Lu Yuan, thank you for your treat today. I hope you can break your genetic lock soon. Let’s meet in Maple City!”
Lu Yuan smiled and nodded. “I might be faster than you think.”
“Tsk, don’t think that you’re so great just because you’re a genius. There are many more geniuses than you.”
Lu Yuan smiled and did not refute.
After all, he had already achieved 80% of the refinement.
What was there to refute?
Cao Yan also smiled and said,
“Lu Yuan, thank you so much for today. Next time, I’ll treat everyone to a gathering. Work hard during this period and hope you can get good results in the college entrance examination. ”
“Alright, let’s go back then.”
Everyone lived in different places and were separated.
Lu Yuan was the only one heading to the slums, so naturally, there were no other people on the way.
He didn’t take a taxi, but slowly walked on the road towards the slums.
To be honest, the night view of the city, in the memory of Lu Yuan’s predecessor, was only seen before the mutation.
After all his family members died, his predecessor’s memory was basically gray.
After he had transmigrated, he had not come here at night.
Walking on the street, fashionably dressed men and women stood on both sides of the street. Under the neon lights, they looked very energetic.
A group of people passed by Lu Yuan, and two pretty girls turned to look at Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan smiled at them, and the two of them turned around in embarrassment.
At this moment, a fashionably dressed beauty walked over and said with a smile,”
“Handsome, can we add each other’s contact information? I just lost a bet with my sister.”
She pointed to the back, where two beautiful women were snickering.
“I’m sorry,” Lu Yuan smiled. “I don’t have a phone.”
The beauty was stunned. Lu Yuan had already walked past her.
Along the way, Lu Yuan met a few people who tried to hit on him, but he ignored them.
Soon, the bustling street began to become deserted.
The neon lights on the side of the road were also getting fewer and fewer, and the street lights were emitting yellow and white light.
The environment had changed.
The noisy nightless city was now far away, and he had arrived at a place close to the slums.
The originally clean street was now filled with a lot of garbage such as cans and plastic bottles.
Two black wild cats scuttled past under the light, looked back at Lu Yuan, let out a shrill scream, and quickly left.
The pedestrians on the street were not as leisurely as before, and their pace was hurried.
As they went deeper into the slums, there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, and the environment became quieter.
At this moment, Lu Yuan heard a scream.
“Let go of my child! Quickly let go!”
Lu Yuan looked up. Outside the alley in the distance, two men in black leather clothes and colorful hair were holding a one-year-old child and a thin woman.
The woman looked very thin and weak, but at this moment, she was holding the child tightly and not letting go.
The child kept crying as the two of them pulled him.
“Someone, help me! I beg you to help me!”
The woman looked around.
There were four or five pedestrians on the street.
However, when the pedestrians glanced over, they all lowered their heads and left in a hurry.
“Motherf * cker! Let go!”
The man who was holding the child had a ferocious look on his face, and he pulled harder.
Instantly, the child’s face turned red and he started crying.
“No!”
The emaciated woman kept shaking her head, her face full of despair.
The man who was holding the woman’s hand had a cold look in his eyes. “You’re looking for death!”
He took out a folding knife from his pocket.
He opened the knife and was about to stab the woman.
At this moment, a black shadow flashed past.
Lu Yuan appeared beside the man. His face was cold as he kicked the man’s waist hard.
The man’s waist began to twist irregularly, making cracking sounds.
His body flew backward and hit the wall at the side of the alley.
The foldable knife had already left his hand and landed beside him. His body kept twitching, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Seeing this, the man who was pulling the child was shocked.
He quickly let go of the child and took two steps back.
The emaciated woman pulled her child over and held him tightly in her arms. She leaned against the wall and looked at the man and Lu Yuan vigilantly.
The man in leather armor turned to look at the man who was twitching on the ground and then at Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan’s clothes didn’t look like he was from the slums.
He opened his mouth and said,”
“Hey! Brother, I advise you not to meddle in other people’s business! This was the slums! A place that even the Empire’s laws couldn’t touch! We’re from the Feral Dog Gang! You’re not thinking of going against us, the Feral Dog Gang, are you?”
” Feral Dog Gang?”
Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows.
He had heard the name of this gang a few times.
It could be said to be the most notorious gang in the entire slums, committing all kinds of evil.
Lu Yuan had already thought of them as bad people.
He didn’t expect that they would dare to kill people and kidnap children on the street.
This was even more exaggerated than he had thought.
The reality was more ridiculous than he had imagined.
“Right! We are the Feral Dog Gang! In the slums, we, the Feral Dog Gang, are the kings! If you don’t want to disappear, then leave this place! The slums are not a place for you damn rich people!”
Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and smiled.”
“I think you’re mistaken. I’m not rich, I live in the slums. ”
The man in leather armor was stunned for a moment, then he laughed hideously.
“Brother, since you live in the slums, how dare you meddle in other people’s business? Are you tired of living?”
Lu Yuan also laughed.
“When I said you misunderstood, I had another meaning. I don’t care which gang you’re from. ”
He took a step forward, and with a burst of power, he instantly appeared in front of the man in leather armor.
The man in leather armor widened his eyes in shock.
Lu Yuan had already grabbed his face with one hand and pressed him back.
Boom!
His head hit the wall, and blood flowed out.
Lu Yuan released his hand and his body slid to the ground.
Lu Yuan then turned to look at the trembling skinny woman.
He looked at the child in the woman’s arms and frowned.”
“You’re the one who lives here, right? You should know how dangerous it is for you to bring a child out so late at night. ”
To be honest, Lu Yuan had never seen a child on the streets of the slums after dark at night.
It was because it was too easy for them to be kidnapped by those gangs.
As for why he was kidnapped?
The boys would break their limbs and go to a busy place to be beggars, while the girls would pack up and go receive customers.
Good-looking boys and girls would be kept as slaves.
Some of them were even more deranged and would even take out their organs to sell.
Not to mention children, even adults would rarely wander outside at night.
It was too dangerous.
In fact, Lu Yuan did not know about this at the beginning. Li Qinghe had told him everything.
The darkness here was beyond the imagination of Lu Yuan, who had lived under the red flag in his previous life.
