Chapter 501 - 160: [Follow Me for Fine Food and Drink]
This guy’s going to be eating frozen meat once I’m gone, huh...
Finally, a few hours later...

Chen Yan opened his eyes, waking up in his own basement training room. After getting up from the ground, he stretched lazily and moved his legs.
His cold-resistant clothing was already filthy, and his body was filled with the stench of wild beast odor - all from Big White.
Chen Yan walked out of the training room, first went upstairs to shower and change clothes. Then he took two cucumbers from the fridge, washed them quickly, and devoured them voraciously.
Having eaten beast meat for several days, that stuff was remarkably effective in replenishing energy and heat. But after several days of just eating meat and not a single vegetable or fruit, he felt an unbearable heat inside.
At this moment, the cucumber in his hand had been in the fridge for several days and was actually not fresh, even a bit limp. But as he crunched it in his mouth, Chen Yan found it exceptionally delicious.
Once his stomach felt comfortable, Chen Yan returned to the bedroom, tossed himself onto the bed, and fell fast asleep.
He had spent seven days in the Domain Realm, eating and sleeping under the open sky. Although he slept every day, how could one rest well in such harsh conditions?
He had managed to endure the seven days only by relying on his extraordinary physique.
This nap lasted a full fourteen hours, and when he awoke again, it was two o’clock in the morning.
Chen Yan jumped from the bed with a somersault, originally planning to go to the training room and organize the things he had gathered in the Otherworld. The wood from the strange trees was almost completely collected. Another harvest trip might be enough to replenish the Spirit Gathering Array in the yard.
Besides the wood, he had brought back some other things: two pieces of beast meat weighing ten pounds in total.
And a few beast tusks.
However, after glancing at his phone, Chen Yan abandoned the idea of tidying up the items.
On his phone, there were several missed calls: two from Chu Keqing and three from his girlfriend Lu Sisi.
Moreover, surprisingly, there were seven missed calls from the Extreme Internet Cafe owner’s wife.
Chen Yan felt intrigued.
The owner’s wife hadn’t contacted him for a while, so why had she suddenly called him so many times? Had something happened?
He picked up the phone intending to call back, but then put it down.
Looking at the time, he simply changed into another outfit, grabbed his car keys, and headed out.
Driving the Benz on the road, Chen Yan remembered that the big G he ordered should have arrived. He had been chopping trees in the Domain Realm, so the dealership likely couldn’t reach him. He could pick up the car today during the day.
The car passed through Jinling Prefecture’s streets at night. The roads were empty and unobstructed, and soon he was near University City.
Chen Yan parked his car along the street by Extreme Internet Cafe, locked the door, and walked inside.

Pushing open the door, he was greeted by the familiar atmosphere.
The air carried the scent of cigarette smoke mixed with instant noodles, while his ears picked up the sound of keyboards and shouts like "Top lane, top lane!" "Where the hell is our jungler?"
Although only one-third of the seats in the large internet cafe were occupied, the lively atmosphere filled one’s heart completely.
Chen Yan saw the owner’s wife sitting behind the counter, squinting as she took a nap. On the computer screen in front of her, a popular variety show was playing.
Chen Yan walked over with a grin, tapped the counter deliberately, and loudly called out, "Owner’s wife, overnight package!"
"...!!"
The owner’s wife shuddered awake, and upon seeing Chen Yan standing in front of her, she instinctively rolled her eyes and sighed, "Oh great, the invisible tycoon is visiting incognito again? Came here to mingle with the common folk?"
Hmm, she can still joke, so it seems this woman hasn’t run into any urgent trouble... Chen Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Yan didn’t know about the street being bought out, only thinking the owner’s wife was referring to last time’s rent matter. So he laughed, "Get me a machine, and a bowl of noodles too - make it yourself! With marinated eggs, two of them! Peel them yourself!"
"Want me to add a pack of rat poison too? I’ll mix the poison myself!" The owner’s wife retorted in annoyance.
Then she walked out from behind the counter, grabbed Chen Yan’s arm, and said, "Don’t rush to get online yet, I need to talk to you!"
"Go ahead."
The owner’s wife glanced left and right: "Not here, come with me upstairs."
She gestured to the stairs: "Let’s talk above."
"What about the noodles? I’m freshly awake, still hungry."
"Yeah, yeah, I’ll bring them to you later! Head upstairs first, wait in my room!"
Chen Yan paused, laughed, "Your room? This... isn’t right? I’ve come for the overnight package, not an overnight ’package’~."
"..." The owner’s wife looked at him with a complicated expression, tsked, then forcefully pushed him toward the stairs, her face slightly flushed.
