Chapter 9: The Prodigy

"Give each of us an A-level lunch, um, I want two! Also, bring ten pounds of cooked beef, and a bottle of white rum. Does everyone think this is enough?" Lan Feng first ordered the dishes and then asked for everyone's opinion

There are currently twelve people present, of whom only three have expressed disinterest and have gone to do other things

With her hair tied in a ponytail and a few freckles on her face, she may not be a beauty, but she is not unattractive either; one could say she is an ordinary girl. However, she is only fourteen years old, and it is possible that as she grows, she will become more beautiful.

Um ... ...

Although Lan Feng's storytelling skills are not high, this world has never had such a form, so everyone feels very fresh and begins to watch Lan Feng tell stories there

Lan Feng, how could you be so disrespectful to the teacher! After Emily left, Lan Feng faced the wrath of the entire class

Although it is a cafeteria, it is elegantly decorated, as the people here are all nobles. If the quality is too poor, those students would rather not eat or bring their own lunch every day

By the way, everyone also looked down on Lan Feng for describing himself as tall and heroic, claiming that his glorious image was unmatched. In contrast, his opponent Kovil was described as very ordinary; however, when compared to the former, ordinary became synonymous with sordid and shameless.

It is said that, in my ... ...

It is said that a private room costs ten gold coins per day, which is essentially just for the lunch period, while a private suite requires one hundred gold coins. In the words of Lan Feng, this is simply extortion.

However, every noon, it is always so bustling, and the reason is simple: this is the only cafeteria available, and during noon, the school gates are tightly closed. Unless there is a special circumstance, leaving is not permitted, but entry is allowed.

However, there is considerable doubt regarding this matter. Many people claim that the principal is greedy and wants everyone to spend the entire day at the college. It seems that the principal established this rule only after the cafeteria was expanded.

Ah... the sound of astonishment continues to emerge

In order to avoid this unnecessary and unbeneficial trouble, Lan Feng began to divert everyone's attention. He knew that as soon as he mentioned the duel with Coville, these people would immediately start to ask questions. From the moment he spoke with Emily, he could tell from their infinitely curious gazes.

Of course, as a woman, she undoubtedly possesses a talent for gossip, so she followed Lan Feng to inquire about the details of the duel

The principal is indeed a business genius! After learning about the cafeteria and the library, Lan Feng arrived at this conclusion

However, many people still fought over this, to which Lan Feng commented: a group of despicable lunatics

It seems that my actions this time were somewhat thoughtless. As the saying goes, it is better to offend a petty person than to offend a woman. I have only now realized the true meaning of this.

The bustling crowd in the cafeteria indicates that business is exceptionally thriving here. Do not assume that the food is particularly delicious; it is merely passable. In the eyes of these elite students, it hardly counts for anything

Those who did not manage to grab a seat, those who do not intend to compete, and those who are aware of their lack of competitive strength, sit in the public area to dine. Here, in addition to purchasing set meals, one can also order dishes just like in private rooms, which is another way to make a profit

Here, the food is similarly chosen only if it is expensive. Therefore, although there are many affordable and good-value food options, very few people choose to eat them. In contrast, the expensive and less cost-effective items sell particularly well

What was merely a single move, he insisted on portraying as a battle lasting hundreds of rounds, a scene that was truly breathtaking

Cough, cough, since everyone is so eager to hear about my heroic deeds, I shall begin now. Lan Feng cleared his throat and then started to tell the story, not with illustrations, but simply narrating the tale...

It is so cold that I can already feel the murderous intent

It turns out that a person can be shameless to this extent

It is well known that the students of this academy are all aristocrats. Since they are aristocrats, they will maintain a certain aristocratic demeanor. The most common manifestation of this is that when shopping, they only choose the expensive items rather than the appropriate ones

This is one aspect, and another is the dining location. In addition to the public area on the first floor, there are private rooms, and on the second floor, there are elegant suites, which naturally come at a cost. The principal is undoubtedly a genius, understanding the principle that rarity adds value. Since there are not many private rooms and elegant suites, in the cafeteria of this academy with thousands of elite students, these spaces are secured at exorbitant prices by the wealthiest and most powerful individuals.

In fact, it is not only during lunchtime; this has been the case since morning classes began and continues until school is dismissed in the afternoon. One can only enter but not exit, otherwise, a warning sanction will be imposed.

Many people shook their heads. The items that Lan Feng pointed out were numerous, but at most only amounted to five or six gold coins, which was not too much for them. Moreover, these were for their own consumption. To Lan Feng, it was merely one extra lunch (according to their thoughts)

This rule was established by the current principal, with the rationale of allowing everyone to focus on their studies without the distraction of thoughts about leaving the school or skipping classes.

Well, that is the whole story, esteemed audience. This tale comes to an end here, and I ask you all to offer some reward now. " Lan Feng concluded with a remark that left everyone in fits of laughter.

Indeed, one by one, they began to express their unusual curiosity, probing into the details of the duel that took place in the morning, leaving no detail overlooked. However, when Lan Feng was halfway through his account, he made an excuse that he was hungry and did not wish to continue speaking

Fortunately, Kewell is still receiving treatment at the university hospital (which also charges fees, as per the principal's regulations). Otherwise, he would not need medical attention; he would have simply died from anger, spitting blood.

Thus, some individuals volunteered to treat Lan Feng to a meal, conversing as they ate

Cough, cough, not at all, not at all. Although the tone may be a bit intense, we are merely discussing the issue. I am just summarizing the duel I had with Coville this morning for the teacher. A wise man does not suffer immediate losses; opposing Emily's fan club now would be very troublesome.

The cow is truly remarkable; everyone who was aware of the situation at the time couldn't help but marvel inwardly.

Oh yes, another free lunch is at hand

Her name is Lin Xiaoyu, and she is a girl who loves money; no, it would be more accurate to say she loves business. Her interest in doing business far exceeds her interest in practicing swordsmanship. However, her family insisted that she learn swordsmanship, which is why she enrolled in this school. Perhaps she truly lacks talent, or maybe she simply does not want to practice swordsmanship, which is why her skills are poor, and she has been placed in this class for underachievers

Cut it out, it's not like I was being rude, just speaking a bit cooler. Lan Feng ignored these boring people and walked straight to the door, but inwardly thought: this woman has quite a few fans, not just here, but there’s also a large crowd outside.

Generally speaking, such fans can be quite fanatical, especially the male ones. If they find out that I have offended the goddess in their hearts, won't they all want to skin me alive...

Boom! Boom! The sound of falling continues incessantly

A dozen or so people were seated at a long table, and while waiting for the meal to arrive, everyone urged Lan Feng to continue the previous topic. Uh, I forgot to mention that this class, including him, consists of only fifteen people, with the majority being boys and a mere single girl.

Moreover, there is no need to queue here, as there are dedicated waitstaff to take orders and serve dishes

Uh, don't overthink it. That girl is neither an exceptionally beautiful woman nor a lady of special status; she is just an ordinary noble lady. If there is anything unusual about her, it is that her family has considerable wealth
