Sometime later, Luo Li brought Yuan to one of their largest and most famous restaurants.
"Hundred Style Pork Shop?" Yuan looked at the sign above the door with a slightly wet mouth.
"As the name implies, this restaurant specializes in pork. Of course, there are other foods on the menu, but they are most famous for their pork." Luo Li said to them before they walked inside.
"Welcome to the Hundred Style Pork Shop, Lady Luo!" The receptionist immediately recognized and greeted Luo Li.
"Table for three," she said.
"I understand. Please, come with me."
The receptionist then led them to the largest table in the room that could easily fit even a large family.
"Here’s the menu, Young Lady."
"Thank you. By the way, you can send the bill to my family." Luo Li then said to the receptionist.
"Eh? Are you sure?" Yuan asked her when he heard her words.

"Yes. Although it’s not much, please allow my family to treat Daoist Yuan to this meal. If my father was here, he would’ve also said the same. After all, Daoist Yuan is still our esteemed guest. If we cannot even do something as simple as feeding you, then it would bring shame upon the entire Luo Family." Luo Li said.
"You’re exaggerating..." Yuan said with an awkward smile, as he was not used to this royalty-like treatment.
"Anyway, please order whatever you want, Daoist Yuan. My family will bear all of your bills today."
Seeing the stubbornly beautiful smile on Luo Li’s face, Yuan could only nod his head and accept her offer.
A few moments later, Yuan began ordering from the menu.
"I’ll have this braised pork, this seasoned pork, this pulled pork, this... this... this... and this..."
"..."
Both the receptionist and Luo Li stared at Yuan with wide eyes as he continued to name dishes after dishes until he named almost every dish that was available on the menu.
Meanwhile, Xiao Hua casually sat there with a calm expression, looking as though she was used to seeing this scene.
"V-Very well. I’ll immediately notify the cooks..." The receptionist quickly left their table a few minutes later with her hands feeling slightly numb from writing essentially the entire menu.
"D-Daoist Yuan must have been starving from his journey..." Luo Li said to him with a stiff smile on her face, while silently wondering to herself whether Yuan really had the ability to eat so much food.
"Yes, I am quite exhausted after riding the flying sword for so long." Yuan nodded.
"If you don’t mind me asking, where does Daoist Yuan plan on heading to after the Pang City?" she suddenly asked him.
"Oh, we are heading to the Purple Bamboo Forest for training," he said with a calm expression.
"The Purple Bamboo Forest?!" Luo Li covered her mouth in shock after hearing his words.
"Eh? What’s the matter?" Yuan was surprised by her reaction.
"The Purple Bamboo Forest is renowned for nurturing powerful beasts above the Spirit Warrior realm! It’s a dangerous place where beasts as powerful as the Mountain Lord are abundant, and only the strongest warriors would dare to train such a place!" Luo Li looked at Yuan with awe in her eyes, "To think Daoist Yuan would go to such a dangerous place just for training, you are truly on another level compared to me, who cannot even go to the Pang Mountain without supervision. I am now feeling ashamed to even share the same table as you..."
"It may be a dangerous place, but how else am I going to grow stronger?" Yuan laughed.
"Indeed, while it may be dangerous, the cultivation world is already filled with danger, and only those who are willing to risk their lives for improvements like Daoist Yuan can truly reach the peak. I really admire Daoist Yuan for that." Luo Li said to him with an adoring gaze.
Sometime later, the receptionist and a few servers returned to their table with dishes in both their hands.
"We will continue bringing the dishes as they are being cooked. Do you need another table to hold the dishes?" The servers asked them.
"No, it’s fine. Brother Yuan will finish the dishes before you can even bring out new plates..." Xiao Hua said to them.
Sometime later, once the table was filled with dishes, Yuan quickly began stuffing his face with food.
"Oh, man! This food is really amazing! The meat is so flavorful and filled with juices! Every bite I take fills my mouth with bliss!"
"..."
Luo Li watched as Yuan constantly shove food into his mouth without stopping with a dazed face, silently wondering to herself, ’Daoist Yuan is truly unfathomable... How can so much food fit into that body?’
A few moments later, Luo Li also began eating the food, but unlike Yuan, she ate as slow and as gracefully as possible, as she was afraid of ruining her makeup.
And just like Xiao Hua had predicted, Yuan managed to finish the dishes on the table before the next round of plates were brought to them, which greatly shocked the servers there.
"Hey, did you hear? They increased their offer for Player Yuan again."
Suddenly, as he was chewing his food, Yuan heard the people sitting behind them mention his name, causing him to slow down.
"I saw it. It’s up to 50 million dollars, right?"
"They are even awarding anyone who can identify Player Yuan with 5 million."
"5 million?! I will be set for life with that amount of money!"
"It will only be a matter of time before one of his friends or even family members reveal his real identity to the world for the money."
"I can’t believe people are willing to pay that much money for a cheater like Player Yuan."
"You will never understand the rich."
"There are even some people who want to see Player Yuan being PK’d! I think the bounty is around 10 million right now."
"Hahaha... Reward or not, if I ever see this Player Yuan, I’m definitely going to Player Kill him!"
"..."
Yuan slowly turned around to look at the group of people chatting loudly behind him with a dumbfounded expression, his round cheeks still filled with food. Surely, they must be talking about someone else with the same name as him, right? After all, he does not recall doing anything that would make other players hate him to the point of putting a bounty on his head! Hell, he hasn’t even encountered any other players until now!
