Dragon's Origin

Chapter 98: The God of Buyers (Part 2)

Would the housekeeper of Worry-Free City's City Lord Manor appear on the road for no reason, intimately greeting an insignificant ordinary person, without putting on airs or showing a disdainful face, and even calling himself 'Old Brother'? If Wang Sheng really believed that, he would have died countless times already.

Yesterday, during the move, the housekeeper didn't have this kind of demeanor. Now there's such a change, so the reason must have occurred between yesterday's move and now.

The only thing that could attract the housekeeper's attention, Wang Sheng thought, was that bit of gourmet braised food. Since Han Bingli was from the City Lord's Manor, he would definitely tell the City Lord and the housekeeper how delicious yesterday's braised food was. So, the housekeeper's appearance here couldn't be unrelated to that, could it?

"Speak!" The housekeeper patted his chest, guaranteeing, "Whatever trouble you have, as long as Old Brother can help, I won't refuse."

Wang Sheng bitterly smiled and explained his troubles, mainly emphasizing that he couldn't make so much in a day. He didn't want to rely on the housekeeper's influence to suppress anyone, as that would be offending people, not helping.

"Is that all?" The housekeeper chuckled and offered Wang Sheng an idea: "If you can't do it alone, just find more people to do it. If one pot isn't enough, just get more pots, right?"

"Alas, that's the only way." Wang Sheng nodded. "I'll go to the Killer Hall to post a mission and find some people to help."

"No need, no need!" The housekeeper reached out and stopped Wang Sheng. "If you post a mission, how can it be considered Old Brother helping you? Don't worry, I'll prepare everything you need in half an hour, and I'll find the people you need too."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Old Brother!" Wang Sheng didn't decline and immediately thanked him. If the housekeeper was preparing things for the City Lord, he definitely wouldn't just find anyone; it would have to be someone trustworthy. So Wang Sheng didn't participate, letting the housekeeper find them himself, to avoid the City Lord's suspicion.

"Don't worry, Old Brother understands. They'll all be the long-legged beauties you like." The housekeeper almost patted his chest to take on everything.

But the housekeeper's words almost made Wang Sheng stumble and fall to the ground. What did he mean by 'all the long-legged beauties I like'? Although long legs are indeed pleasing to the eye, but... alright, I do like them quite a bit.

"What else do you need?" The housekeeper seemed to be really preparing things for the City Lord, asking comprehensively.

"Demon beasts!" Since that was the case, Wang Sheng was happy to save trouble. "With so much meat, I haven't collected enough demon beasts to eat yet."

"Easy, easy." The housekeeper casually snapped his fingers. "Old Brother will have people hunt them now. Oh right, is fresh better than aged? If you want aged, I'll take it from the storage."

"Either will do! Either will do!" Wang Sheng was stunned by the housekeeper's generosity. Did he need fresh chicken feet, duck necks, and pig trotters? But thinking about the person behind him, he understood. "Like this, Old Brother, get some fresh ones here, slightly better quality. Use the aged ones from the storage for the rest. There won't be too much difference in taste, at most just a slight lack of spiritual energy."

The housekeeper immediately nodded, Wang Sheng's idea was good. Use fresh ones for the City Lord and himself, and aged ones from the storage for the rest, very good. This little brother was thoughtful.

With the housekeeper's promise, Wang Sheng naturally relaxed a lot. Many things that originally had to be done personally were now being helped with, naturally saving a lot of trouble.

As for the cooking techniques being spread, did that matter? It would be good if there were more and more delicacies in this world, so that the Yuan Soul could complete the Gluttonous transformation sooner.

After saying goodbye to the housekeeper, Wang Sheng once again leisurely strolled towards Yu Baozhai. While strolling, he felt the almost omnipresent killing intent and baleful aura in the entire Peerless City, trying to familiarize himself with this aura and stimulate the Yuan Soul's transformation.

This time going to Yu Baozhai was to get the pills. The old doctor and the alchemist, along with the soul refiner, were working together to help Wang Sheng refine a batch of Yuan Qi restoration pills. Although they couldn't refine many in one night, it would be enough for Wang Sheng to use for two or three days. After those two or three days, they would be able to refine another batch.

Restoring Yuan Qi was not something that could be effective in a short time; it required long-term consumption. Of course, this was just Wang Sheng's excuse. He wouldn't eat any of the pills they refined, but these pills could cover up the fact that Wang Sheng's Yuan Soul was improving due to the little Chiwen eating more delicacies. If the Yuan Qi was restored, the cultivation would naturally improve!

The outer city knew very little about what happened in the inner city, at least the news hadn't reached the outer city yet. Wang Sheng was naturally given a glare by Ling'er at Yu Baozhai, who threw him a bottle and then ignored him.

With the pills in his pocket, Wang Sheng was about to go back when he suddenly remembered that he didn't have enough of the seasonings he bought yesterday to make so much braised food. The ordinary seasonings were fine, there were enough, but the ones bought from the pharmacy were too few and needed to be replenished.

"Boss, give me ten catties of each of the things I bought yesterday." As soon as he entered, Wang Sheng saw the pharmacy owner dozing off, along with some unfamiliar customers. The customers were there to buy things, nothing unusual, and Wang Sheng didn't take it seriously, directly shouting at the boss.

The pharmacy owner was drowsy, and suddenly hearing Wang Sheng's shout, he was suddenly awakened, and then jumped up directly, his face full of anger.

The so-called 'better to provoke a drunk than a sleeper' is a famous saying left by the ancestors. Drunks don't know anything, so provoking them is just that. But a sleeper being awakened while sleeping soundly will definitely explode. The so-called 'morning grumpiness' is the same principle.

The few customers being served by the shop assistant immediately realized there was a show to watch. They were people who had come to Worry-Free City from outside to broaden their horizons, and had not seen Wang Sheng before, nor had they heard of Wang Sheng's affairs. It was not easy for anyone to find out information in Worry-Free City, so it was normal not to know. Now that they saw this situation, they were a little gloating.

Don't mention it, although they didn't know Wang Sheng, they knew a lot about Worry-Free City. Especially knowing that the attitude of the merchants in Worry-Free City was surprisingly good, of course they didn't dare to run wild in the shops of Worry-Free City. Now that Wang Sheng suddenly shouted so loudly and startled the boss's sleep, wouldn't there be a good show to watch?

Just when a few people were waiting to see how the boss would explode in rage and then suddenly transform from a common vendor into a cultivation master, violently beating up Wang Sheng who came in, letting Wang Sheng know the rules of Worry-Free City, they suddenly saw a scene they couldn't believe.

The furious boss darted forward, that speed and movement were definitely that of a master. But when his figure appeared opposite Wang Sheng, the angry expression on his face had turned into the most enthusiastic smile, his body almost completing ninety degrees, greeting Wang Sheng with a flattering tone: "Oh, esteemed guest has arrived, please come in, please come in!"

What the hell? The few people who were planning to watch the show were at a loss, one of them even secretly inquired with the shop assistant.

"You don't even recognize him?" The shop assistant's face was also full of longing: "He is the God of Buyers in our Worry-Free City!"
