Chapter 116 - 116 Hidden
116 Hidden
“It looks really big. It must weigh at least 500 kilograms, right?”
“500? More than that, but it will shrink a little after being roasted. If you remove the bones, it should be about 500.”
Qing Niao picked up his knife and fork, eager to try. “This is my first time eating beef. I heard that beef tastes better when it’s medium rare. I wonder what it tastes like.”
“Jin Dafu treated me to horned beef once. It’s indeed not bad. A thin piece costs a few hundred copper coins. Beef has nothing to do with level. It’s just as expensive as Ordinary level.”
!!
“Then this one needs at least dozens of silver dragons, right?”
“I think so. William is really rich. You have to eat more later.”
As he spoke, Fang Ping saw the person roasting beef. He took out some spices and carefully sprinkled them on the skin, turning it gently.
The price of spices was also not cheap. This meal should be good.
The roasted cow was surrounded by people waiting to eat.
When it was almost done, someone carried a few large baskets and wooden barrels in.
“This is also our Fire Dragon City’s specialty. Green peaches and green peach wine. The fragrantly roasted Long-Haired Demon Ox is ready. I hope everyone will have a good time eating.”
The leader saluted and stepped aside. The men behind him began carving it efficiently.
Green fruit was placed on a plate on the table. The wine in the wooden barrel was poured into the cup. The ox on the iron rack was also carried down, dismembered, divided, and sliced into the plate.
“I was the one who did all this in the past…” Qing Niao muttered softly.
Andre pulled him back. “You’re not the same person you used to be. Come, let’s drink and eat meat.”
“Ok!”

Fang Ping followed behind and walked over. Forget about the Green Peach Wine. Seeing that it was fruit juice again, he took a plate of roast beef to test the taste.
They were all beef, but each plate was different. Some had a large piece of meat with bones, some had square meat, and there were also translucent beef slices that were as thin as cicada wings. It could only be said that rich people really knew how to play.
Fang Ping chose a plate of diced beef and gave it a try. The taste was indeed not bad. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. When he took a bite, it was filled with juice. He did not put much salt and spices in it. What he ate was the fresh and sweet taste of the beef itself. It was indeed delicious.
“How long has this cow been dead for? Why is its energy so low? It doesn’t taste good at all!”
“I heard that the Long-Haired Demon Ox only tastes good after being frozen. It’s normal for it to have less energy after being frozen.”
“Forget it, forget it. Since it tastes good, I’ll make do with it. As expected, if you want to eat Magical Beast meat, you have to buy it yourself.”
Fang Ping heard the complaints of the people around him. He sensed that the energy in the meat was indeed low.
With William’s personality, he would not do such a humiliating thing.
‘Whatever. It’s free anyway. I’ll just eat it.’
Fang Ping finished the food in his hand and went to get another plate.
“Fang Ping, do you want a drink?”
Lisa suddenly appeared, holding two wineglasses and looking at him.
“Sure.” Taking the glass from Lisa, he watched her three fingers squeeze the sides, lifted her chin, and sipped delicately.
“Let’s give it a try. It’s not bad. The taste of the green peach wine is even stronger. If this is in Elf City, without any connections, you won’t be able to buy it no matter how rich you are.”
Fang Ping tested it. As expected, the alcohol content was higher. It was more like wine than fruit juice.
“Yes, it’s indeed not bad.” He put down the cup. “What’s wrong? Is something the matter?”
“The Black Tiger Gang is just a small gang in the Elf City. They can only show off in the Elf City. They’re not presentable.”
Fang Ping had not heard anyone mention the Black Tiger Gang to him for a long time. He did not know why Lisa suddenly brought it up.
“Your relationship with the Black Tiger Gang only exists in name. With your armor, it seems that the Black Tiger Gang has never provided you with help. Have you considered changing your faction?”
“Oh? Are you trying to recruit me?” Fang Ping smiled at Lisa.
She also had a smile on her face, but her eyes were bright and firm. She admitted directly, “That’s right. I’m recruiting you.
“I’m the honorary manager of the South Lake Chamber of Commerce. As long as you join us, the price of a set of Excellent-grade armor is no less than 500 Silver Dragons. Then, you can receive three bottles of Excellent-grade potions every month and one bottle of potion every half a year. As long as you’re injured, you can use healing potions without limit.”
“Sounds good.” Putting everything else aside, Fang Ping was drooling over the five hundred silver dragon armor alone. 1.5 million copper coins was not a small sum.
“You think so highly of me?”
“You’re a Class 2 now.”
Fang Ping was stunned and did not answer her.
“What’s the point of keeping such a low profile? If I’m at Class 2, I’ll let everyone know that. Only the weak need to hide. If you’re strong, you have to show it.”
Fang Ping nodded and took a sip of green peach wine. ‘That’s right, it’s me. I’m weak.’
“By the way, I can also give you a new weapon. 100 silver dragons. Your Starry Sky Staff is too weak. Unfortunately, it uses a soul fragment and can’t be sold. It can only be destroyed.”
“Is your South Lake Chamber of Commerce that powerful? Hundreds of silver dragons?”
“You don’t know about the South Lake Chamber of Commerce?”
Fang Ping shook his head. Judging from Lisa’s tone, it was something impressive.
“The South Lake Chamber of Commerce founded by the Grand Duke of the Southern Territory. Almost all the standard weapons and equipment of the army are provided by our South Lake Chamber of Commerce.”
It was another Grand Duke. The people around him were really keeping low profile of themselves.
“So you are the daughter of the Grand Duke of Southern Territory?”
“No, this, don’t you know? Teacher Yue is the daughter of the Grand Duke of the Southern Territory, the youngest scholar. Your Forbidden Spell class should have attended Moon Bell’s class, right?”
“Yes, I’ve heard of it. I just don’t know.”
“Then what do you think of this condition? If you agree, we can sign a magic contract now. I’m setting this condition according to the highest standard of Class 4.”
...
“I believe you can reach Class 4. Moreover, you performed a beautiful explosion at the Gnome Resthouse. You deserve this condition.”
“I’ll think about it. Eat first.”
“I’ll write the magic contract later. If you’ve thought it through, you can come to me anytime.”
“Okay.”
Of course, Fang Ping was very satisfied with Lisa’s conditions. Not only was he satisfied, but he also felt that he was not worthy of it.
Fang Ping did not know what his future was. Lisa was willing to offer these benefits, but Fang Ping did not want to accept them.
There’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world.
All the gifts of fate had already been priced in secret.
“Try it. White peach wine is better than green peach wine.”
“Hmph, William is hiding everything good. I’ll leave some for you.”
White Snow pursed her lips and smiled. Her face had beautiful dimples.
...
“How about you? Fang Ping has a good relationship with you. Did he agree?”
“Ah, it’s delicious and full of energy!” Lisa narrowed her eyes and grinned.
“Don’t drink so much!”
“Gasp. Strong enough.” Lisa took another small sip. “He’ll probably say no.”
“Oh? What’s wrong? Do you think the benefits are not good enough?”
“No, it’s just a feeling, nothing to do with him.”
“Nothing to do with him?”
“The feeling he gives me is that no matter how high the offer is, he won’t agree because it has nothing to do with him… I can’t explain. In short, that’s the feeling.”
