Douluo Continent: I Moved the Entire Dragon King.

The waiter led the four to seats by the window in the hall and then handed them a beautifully prepared menu.

Just as the group was looking at the menu and discussing what to order...

The waiter immediately offered his recommendation with a broad smile.

"Ladies, if you're unsure what to eat, would you like to try one of our restaurant's signature dishes?"

The waiter explained mysteriously.

"This signature dish is made by our chef using the finest parts from a purebred hundred-year-old soul beast! Not only is it delicious, but it's also incredibly nourishing for soul masters!"

After hearing the waiter's introduction, Wang Dong'er and the others exchanged glances.

The essence of a century-old soul beast?

During their eight months at Shrek Academy in the Sky, the free ingredients they ate every day in the cafeteria were far superior to any of the so-called hundred-year-old soul beasts.

This thing was simply not enough for them to see.

However, the group nodded in agreement.

Although the ingredients are certainly not as old as those in a school, this is still a signature dish of the restaurant.

Since it's a signature dish, the taste must be pretty good. I'll just give it a try.

"Okay, let's order this signature dish then, and a few side dishes as you like."

Wang Dong'er said.

The restaurant served food very quickly; before long, all the dishes were brought out one after another.

Finally, two waiters carefully carried a beautifully crafted porcelain bowl and placed it in the center of the table.

As soon as the porcelain basin was lifted, a rich aroma of meat wafted out.

Wang Dong'er was just about to pick up her chopsticks and call everyone to start eating.

The waiter who had taken the order did not leave; instead, he stood by the table with a professional smile and began to speak.

"Ladies, all your dishes have been served. This signature dish costs 500,000 gold soul coins."

"..."

The atmosphere at the table froze the moment the waiter finished speaking.

Wang Dong'er's hand holding the chopsticks froze in mid-air, and Xiao Xiao and Xu Xiaoyan also looked up in disbelief.

Xi'er, who was sitting on the outside, stared wide-eyed.

She turned her head sharply, looked at the smiling waiter, and then at the signature dish in the center of the table.

"What did you say?!"

Seele exclaimed in shock.

"You want to charge us 500,000 gold soul coins for this thing?!"

Chapter 199 This is Shrek City, so Shrek Academy is in charge!

Upon hearing Seele's words, the waiter, who had been wearing a professional smile, suddenly changed his expression and turned cold.

The warm and considerate attitude from a moment ago vanished, replaced by undisguised contempt and arrogance.

"What? Can't you afford it?"

The waiter sneered, crossed his arms, and looked down at the four girls sitting in the seats, his tone full of sarcasm.

"I didn't force you to order this dish at first; I was just recommending it to you. In the end, it was you who nodded and agreed to order this signature dish!"

The waiter's voice suddenly rose a few decibels, deliberately making sure that the other diners in the hall could hear him.

"If you're a poor wretch who can't afford to eat, don't try to show off at this fancy restaurant! You've already ordered, and now you want to renege on your bill? Let me tell you, you all have to pay me every single one of these 500,000 gold soul coins today, or you won't be leaving this door today!"

Faced with the waiter's blatant overcharging, Xi'er was immediately furious.

"Stop trying to argue your point!"

Seele stood up abruptly and argued her case forcefully without backing down.

“We agreed to order this dish, but you didn’t tell us the price beforehand! Besides, it’s just an ordinary hundred-year-old soul beast. Even if you took a whole, live hundred-year-old soul beast to an auction house, its value would never reach such an outrageous price as 500,000 gold soul coins!”

Seele pointed to the bowl of meat soup in the center of the table and said coldly.

"This is clearly a rip-off, a rip-off business!"

The argument was quite loud, and at this moment, the diners in the hotel lobby all turned their attention to it.

Seeing the four young girls being harassed by the hotel, someone in the crowd sighed and couldn't help but whisper words of advice.

"Young lady, let it go. It's better to lose money than to suffer a disaster."

A middle-aged diner shook his head and kindly offered a reminder.

"This shop has a very powerful background. You girls from out of town can't afford to mess with them. Just consider it a loss and quickly pay the bill and leave, otherwise it won't be something that money can solve later."

Upon hearing the diner's advice, Seele not only refused to back down, but became even more puzzled.

"Eat dumb and lose?"

Seele looked around, frowned, and questioned loudly.

"Isn't anyone in Shrek City doing anything about this blatant robbery in broad daylight?!"

Upon hearing Seele's question, the waiter showed no remorse whatsoever; instead, his expression became quite arrogant.

"Manage? Who dares to manage?"

The waiter chuckled as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, and pointed confidently to the ground beneath his feet.

"Little girl, don't you even open your eyes and look where you are? This is Shrek City!"

"In Shrek City, the biggest rule is Shrek Academy! Shrek Academy is the boss of Shrek City!"

The waiter raised his chin smugly and said arrogantly.

"To be honest, in Shrek City, the prices of soul beast meat in all the high-end hotels are basically all secretly set by people from Shrek Academy! We're doing business legally and legitimately. You want to complain? Go ahead, let's see if Shrek Academy's law enforcement will arrest you or me!"

After hearing the waiter's extremely arrogant words.

Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, and Xu Xiaoyan, who were sitting at the table, along with Xi'er who was standing, exchanged glances and understood what was going on.

No wonder this restaurant dares to sell a simple dish made from a hundred-year-old soul beast for a sky-high price of 500,000 gold soul coins in broad daylight. It turns out that this restaurant is secretly backed by that pirated Shrek Academy!

No wonder the waiter was so brazen; this is what they call "rules"!

In the hearts of Wang Dong'er and her companions, the evaluation of this pirated Shrek Academy on the ground had plummeted to rock bottom.

This Shrek Academy clone is absolutely awful!

Wang Dong'er glanced indifferently at the "signature dish" on the table.

If what's simmering in this pot is the essence of flesh and blood from a ten-thousand-year-old or one-hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast, or the meat of some extremely rare soul beast that lives in extremely cold or hot places and is difficult to catch, then selling it for 500,000 gold soul coins is still somewhat understandable, after all, things are valued for their rarity.

but!

This is just an ordinary, unremarkable hundred-year-old soul beast!

For a low-level soul beast of this caliber, it would be absolutely not difficult for any soul master with a little cultivation to capture it on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Its acquisition cost is ridiculously low!

But this shop dares to ask for 500,000 gold soul coins!

Moreover, Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao eat all kinds of top-quality ingredients every day at Shrek Academy in the Sky. How discerning are their eyes?

Judging from the color and cooking technique of this meat soup, there is no special method at all. It is just the most ordinary cutting and simple cooking!

Due to the poor cooking techniques, the meager energy originally contained in the soul beast's meat had long been lost during the stewing process, and the energy of the soul beast was not successfully contained and locked inside the meat at all.

Eating this stuff, aside from tasting the flavor of meat, has absolutely no nourishing effect on a Soul Master's cultivation! It's just a bowl of worthless, useless meat!

Who would condone such behavior of using substandard meat and daring to charge exorbitant prices? Who would swallow such an insult?

Seeing Wang Dong'er and the others sitting there with their faces full of dissatisfaction, the waiter's arrogance grew even stronger.

"What? Judging from your expressions, you guys are not convinced?"

The waiter snorted and clapped his hands.

despair!despair!despair!

With heavy footsteps, several burly, menacing Soul Masters immediately emerged from the back of the hotel and stood directly behind the waiter.

As soon as these thugs appeared, they didn't waste any words and immediately activated their soul power, releasing their respective martial souls and soul rings.

Om-!

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple!

A perfectly aligned array of spirit rings lit up in the hotel lobby. These suddenly appearing thugs were all Soul Master level experts with four spirit rings each! And all of them had the standard ratio of two yellow and two purple rings!

Upon seeing these imposing fourth-ring Soul Masters, the diners in the hall all changed their expressions and involuntarily took a step back.

With the combined forces of the Soul Sect and the Heavenly Soul Sect in charge, this formidable combination was more than enough to deal with and intimidate these seemingly defenseless little girls; it was practically using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

With these Soul Clan henchmen backing him up, the waiter felt even more confident.

He walked to the dining table, placed his hands on the table, and brazenly looked Wang Dong'er and the other three over with his eyes before speaking to them.

"Actually, I figured it out a long time ago. You little girls definitely don't have a sum of money like 500,000 gold soul coins on you."

The waiter pointed to the clothes the four people were wearing and revealed his true purpose with a cold smile.

"Since you can't afford it, that's simple. You just stay here obediently and send a message to your college, asking your professors to come and pay the bill for you!"

so it is.

Hearing this, Wang Dong'er and the others couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

The four of them, including Wang Dong'er, were wearing the uniforms issued by Shrek Academy in the air.

The medical uniform was made of high-quality material and was exquisitely crafted.

Of course, the style and logo of this school uniform are completely different from the green Shrek Academy uniform that is a knock-off on the ground.

Therefore, in the waiter's eyes, he did not recognize the clothes at all, and only thought that the four little girls came from some other unknown but relatively wealthy advanced soul master academy.

In the waiter's opinion, students who can afford to wear this kind of college uniform must come from relatively wealthy colleges.

If we take these students hostage, their college, for the sake of its reputation and the students' safety, will definitely be willing to pay ransom, allowing us to make a huge profit.

The moment Wang Dong'er and her group stepped into the hotel, the waiter had already decided to extort them.

This was a meticulously planned scheme!

After hearing the waiter's smug words, Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, Xi'er, and Xu Xiaoyan exchanged glances and couldn't help but laugh in exasperation.

Should the colleges behind them pay for it?

If the teachers of Shrek Academy in the Sky were to find out about this, I'm afraid Teacher Shen Yi and Teacher Wu Changkong would drive their high-altitude soul-guided cars down and raze this shady shop and the entire street to the ground!

Actually, it's just a mere 500,000 Gold Soul Coins.

With the 10,000 gold soul coins that Wang Dong'er just exchanged for 100 contribution points, if they really wanted to settle things peacefully, they could easily exchange a few thousand more contribution points and come up with 500,000 gold soul coins without even frowning.

but!

Based on the waiter's attitude and the disgusting, heartless rules set by this bootleg Shrek Academy, swallowing one's anger and paying money to avoid trouble is definitely not the way these people behave!

"You want us to pay? You're still dreaming!"

Seele sneered, having no intention of wasting another word with the waiter.

She took a step forward, blocking Wang Dong'er and the others, and clenched her right hand in mid-air!

A jet-black sickle radiating a dark light appeared in Seele's palm!

A powerful, chilling wave of soul energy instantly swept through the entire hotel lobby, centered on Seele, like a storm.

That sharp, piercing aura made the Soul Sect thugs standing opposite him gasp for breath.

However, what surprised them even more was the soul ring slowly rising from Seele's feet!

hum!hum!hum!hum!

One lap, two laps, three laps, four laps!
