“Huang Bing, don’t scare our guests. No one can tell what will happen in the future.
“Who knows? Maybe Almighty Su will do something grand again and earn us the divine power to accelerate the growth of plants. With such good conditions, we’d be able to harvest three to five years’ worth of food storage at once!”
“Almighty Su…Ha. Is the Almighty Su your father? Do you really think such a chance miracle will happen again?”
Huang Bing seemed to be agitated a the mention of the topic.
However, after seeing the two soldiers’ strange faces, he immediately recollected himself and smiled.
“Alright. We’ll have eight steamed buns, a plate of fried eggplants, stir-fry potato, and…scrambled eggs with tomatoes.”
Seeing the curious gazes on him, Su Mo coughed lightly and quickly ordered a few dishes.
Three household favorites and eight steamed buns were priced reasonably.
The total cost was…
“Okay! A serving of eggplant and scrambled eggs cost six coins each, and shredded potatoes cost three coins per plate. That will total up to twenty-three coins.”
The waiter collected the three coins valued at ten each that Su Mo handed over.
Afterward, he left with a smile and returned with seven 1 Origin coins and gently placed them on the table.
“Mr. Yang. This breakfast is really…extravagant!”
Huang Bing glanced at the plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes exuding an irresistible aroma that was placed in front of him.
He repeatedly swallowed his saliva. There was only endless gratitude and desire for food left in his mind.
Before coming, he had already expected Su Mo only to order one to two vegetable dishes.
There was a high chance of him ordering simple stir-fried green vegetables that would leave an unforgettable flavor in his mouth or maybe a simple mashed potato that cost only two origin coins.
Unexpectedly…
“Go ahead. Everyone can have two steamed buns. We can add on more if it’s not enough!”
Su Mo had already gotten used to cooking in the village canteen. Therefore, as soon as he tasted the food served, he knew that the food served by Main Peak Restaurant was not as good.
It was likely not due to the chef’s incompetence but more that they did not have enough condiments and raw materials like in Hope Village’s canteen.
Due to those several factors, the slight differences made the food in front of them not so tempting.
The two soldiers with them had grown accustomed to having a dish of meat almost every two days during normal training.
Although they had only simple meals and vegetables in the mountains, they still did not show much enthusiasm for the food on the table. They simply obeyed Su Mo’s order, picked up the steamed buns very casually, and began eating the dishes.
Their behavior was hard for the other diners around them to notice.
However, Huang Bing, who was seated at the same table, was really shocked.
‘D*mn. Who is this person? Why do these people under him look like they have a good life?
‘The scrambled eggs are so fragrant, but they looked so unimpressed. I’m speechless!’
Huang Bing had the urge to pick out the tiny bits of charred scrambled eggs that the two soldiers had thrown into the trash can under the table.
Seeing that Su Mo allowed such behavior, he could only suppress the urge in his heart. He scooped up a few pieces of scrambled egg and chewed on the steamed bun in his mouth.
‘Wow! This is so good!’
Ever since he arrived in the wasteland and became a refugee that was constantly living in extreme poverty, it had already been three months since he last ate greasy food and felt the chewiness of steamed bread.
The food was so delicious that he almost passed out.
Yet Su Mo and the other two soldiers remained silent.
Thus, he also did not dare to exaggerate and praise the food. He could only pretend to look outside the window and secretly wipe away the “happy tears” in the corner of his eyes that formed unknowingly.
Seeing it once was resistible, but after seeing Huang Bing constantly wiping his tears, Su Mo and even the two soldiers could not hold back their laughter.
Su Mo wanted to stop Huang Bing’s antics by the seventh time he turned his head to wipe away his tears.
Suddenly, Huang Bing froze, and he turned around with a smile.
“Mr. Yang. You’re incredibly lucky today! Our new lord has come to dine here today!
“We will be able to get a discount for a meal later! This is such a rare chance!”
“New lord?”
Su Mo was stunned by the first half of his sentence that he could not react immediately.
Seconds later, he realized the meaning of Huang Bing’s words, and his whole body froze, almost exposing his disguise.
Although Su Mo had expected to confront the new territory lord sooner or later, he never expected it to happen so early!
Looking in the direction Huang Bing pointed, Su Mo took a few deep breaths and recollected himself.
He focused his attention, and at the end of the street, he spotted a formation of twenty or so people. The group was a considerable size and was extremely conspicuous.
Su Mo noticed a middle-aged man standing in the team’s center that seemed to be highly respected at a glance.
He was about 190cm in height and out of place within the crowd.
He had a strong physique with bulging muscles. He looked nothing like the weak refugees and really stood out.
His face was slightly tan, and he had a pair of eagle-looking eyes that radiated with a domineering expression. Ordinary people would tremble just by looking at him.
Even his temperament and aura were strong that it made people from dozen meters away unable to look away from him.
‘So this is the mysterious territory lord that came from the ruins?’
Despite being separated by more than 30 meters, the eyes of the two suddenly met.
Unable to read the other party’s expression, Su Mo could only vaguely see his face, which wore a domineering and contempt expression.
He had extreme self-confidence.
After looking at him for a few seconds, Su Mo sighed and averted his gaze.
It was clear that this was not the person he was looking for.
