Chapter 4: Free Breakfast

That is not how it is calculated

So happy, not only because it is the long-awaited food for Lan Feng, but also because in the original world, pork prices have risen to the point where it is unaffordable. It has been a long time since I have eaten such large pieces of meat!

Deng, the boss was taken aback, momentarily unable to think clearly. He was reflecting on Lan Feng's words: if one hasn't eaten, there is naturally no need to pay; and the other item was exchanged, so there is also no need to pay. Both statements were correct, so it should mean that there is no need to pay...

So you have always been like this; this is simply unscrupulous business conduct. However, never mind, I don't have time to argue with you today. Bring me a breakfast with sufficient ingredients, and remember, it must be with sufficient ingredients!

"Boss, this portion is too small, isn't it?" Lan Feng frowned and said, "There are only two slices of meat, and just two slices of bread. Look at this fried egg, it's so small! No wonder you run a restaurant and are still so thin."

Alright, I will change it immediately! The boss, in order not to offend Lan Feng, who is quite a "remarkable" person, promptly had someone prepare a new breakfast and specifically instructed to ensure that all the ingredients were added generously

This is because the blue maple of this world is too weak, and the current level of fighting spirit has not yet reached the standard, so the martial arts instructor has not yet taught him how to activate the magic crystal.

However, Lan Feng was unaware that his seemingly clever yet shameless behavior in the restaurant had been entirely observed by a pair of beautiful eyes, which not only held amusement but also a sense of surprise

He was walking towards the academy because there were still classes to attend today. In order to survive in this world, he had to continue his studies. This was a "prestigious academy," and the education provided was undoubtedly of high quality.

Holding the only valuable Nine-Rank Demon Crystal Sword, Lan Feng walked through the strange yet familiar city of Qili.

He is fully aware of this, which is why he deliberately highlights the magic crystal sword. Firstly, it prevents others from being driven away, and secondly, it ensures that the boss comes over in person

When Lan Feng arrived here, he suddenly realized that he should not have come, not because the place was of too low a standard, but because it was absolutely difficult to obtain a free breakfast here

This technique can rival the legendary first step of the martial world—Shadow Step

At this moment, the expression on Lan Feng's face became even more peculiar as he said, "I didn't eat that breakfast A, so why should I pay anything?"

Regardless of these matters, first take care of one's own stomach. Lan Feng arrived at a place filled with numerous stalls offering snacks and delicacies. Here, there are meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and even night markets.

Sweat, this is breakfast, what more do you want? If it weren't for your magic crystal sword, I would definitely throw you out.

Lan Feng could not engage in any shameless behavior towards these individuals, so he changed the location and went to a restaurant that was particularly disliked by its owner

"Give money? What money?" Lan Feng tilted his head, looking quite puzzled

Although Lan Feng is aware of some general circumstances of this continent, many matters remain unclear to him. The same applies to martial skills, of which he has only a partial understanding. Even now, he still does not know how to wield the magic crystal sword in his hand

The standard here is not very high; it is primarily frequented by the general public, and the prices are also affordable. This is a place that Lan Feng used to visit often, to have a bite to eat and buy some bread to take home. He does not cook, so he has a kitchen that serves no purpose. That clove of garlic is still left over as a side dish.

"The breakfast just now was not exchanged for a breakfast A, so why should I pay?" Lan Feng said with a puzzled expression

In their line of work, what they fear most is offending those who should not be offended

Although the students here are all nobles, it is not certain that they possess magic crystal weapons, which are considered "high-grade items" and not everyone can own them

As Lan Feng was about to reach the door and leave the restaurant, the owner finally reacted and darted in front of Lan Feng at an astonishing speed, making Lan Feng feel as if a shadow had flashed before his eyes, and suddenly there was a person standing there.

The boss smiled and said, "This breakfast A is just like this!"

It is easy to imagine that the people here are either earning a little money or coming here to save money; who would be generous enough to offer you a free breakfast

When the boss finally came to a realization, Lan Feng had long since disappeared without a trace, leaving him to accept his misfortune. However, in his heart, he had already placed a certain individual on his blacklist

"Boss, the food at your restaurant is quite good, and the service attitude is acceptable! Keep up the good work and maintain this standard in the future." Lan Feng picked up his sword, patted the boss on the shoulder, and then walked towards the restaurant's main door, while the boss remained in a daze.

Who said there is no such thing as a free breakfast? Lan Feng leisurely walked through the city with a toothpick in his mouth

"You didn't pay for that breakfast, A," the boss said, suppressing his anger

"Do not pretend to be confused; you have not yet paid for the breakfast you just had," the boss said, somewhat angrily. He had never encountered such a situation. Those nobles would at most openly dine and dash, but this person before him was actually pretending not to know.

However, previously he only knew that if he did not eat, he would starve to death on the street, so he had no time to think about these things. Even if he did think about them, he would not care; he would eat first and deal with the consequences later. What was there to fear from being hurt once or twice

However, among his peers, he is the only one who has not yet reached the basic standard. Many who are a few years younger than him have already met the standard and are using their magical crystal weapons, if they have any.

Lan Feng devoured the sumptuous breakfast under the boss's astonished gaze, and then drank the glass of milk

Boss, please bring me a breakfast A! Blue Maple swaggered into the restaurant, slamming the Nine-Rank Demon Crystal Sword heavily onto the table with a loud bang, and then casually sat down, ready to unleash his ultimate move

However, it seems that there is no way to do it now, hehe, I still cannot do it

This feeling is truly exhilarating

Guest, your breakfast A! Soon, a thin, seemingly unscrupulous owner placed a plate of breakfast and a glass of clear water on the table, while his gaze towards Lan Feng was somewhat peculiar

After waiting for a while, a sumptuous breakfast appeared before Lan Feng, along with a glass of milk. This time, the breakfast not only had ample ingredients; although the meat still consisted of two slices and some vegetables, it definitely weighed over one pound.

This is a classic sophistry known to all Earthlings, yet no one in this world is aware of it. Lan Feng cleverly used this classic trick to deceive him into having his first breakfast in this world

"Ah! So comfortable!" Lan Feng patted his belly. At that moment, he remembered that he hadn't eaten for several days and that he shouldn't eat like this, as it was very harmful to his stomach.

Robbery? No, I won't do it. With this body of mine, I cannot bear the consequences of inciting public anger. Theft? Absolutely not. As a dignified martial artist, how could I engage in such despicable acts, unless there is no other choice.

The normal means are impossible to obtain, unless extraordinary measures are employed

Lan Feng naturally understood the peculiarity in his eyes, as the clothes he wore were of such poor quality that they could be described as street vendor goods in the terms of his original world. The reason the boss personally came over was due to his ninth-grade magic crystal sword, which was not something an ordinary person could possess.

It is not that he cannot unleash power; rather, his level is too low, and the power he can generate is minimal. Therefore, from the academy's perspective, it is better to first ensure he has a solid foundation before teaching him to use the magic crystal sword. This is not unique to him; others are in the same situation.

"Guest, you have not yet paid," the boss said to Lan Feng, "Even if you are a king, you cannot expect to have a free breakfast."
