  “Dear Mr. Adventurer, how do you do? Would you like to dine in or stay here?”


  Mike was uncomfortable with the waiter’s extremely attentive attitude and said lightly.

  “I just need a simple meal. Please serve me a few of your best dishes.”


  “Okay, dear Mr. Adventurer, please follow me!”


  After passing through the lobby, Mike followed the waiter to the dining hall.

  The people in the hall were not dressed like adventurers from the Miracle World at all.

  They were more like the nobility from the upper class.

  In the middle of the hall, a band was playing beautiful music.

  Mike felt that he really did not fit in with this place.

  He wanted to change his clothes, dress up and come back here again.

  He found a seat and sat down.

  In a short while, the waiter brought the dishes up.

  The first dish was a piece of purified raw Fierce Beast meat that had been smoked with charcoal.

  Mike looked at the small piece of raw meat in front of him that had been decorated so beautifully.

  Around the plate, there were all kinds of shapes carved from vegetables and fruits.

  As for the raw meat…


  Mike could not help but think of the batch he had sold at the exchange when he had first arrived in the Miracle World.

  A middle-aged man sitting across from Mike saw that Mike had not eaten yet, so he said to Mike.

  “Young man, did you know that this raw meat was prepared by the demon hunter Mike after he had purified it? You can eat it without worry. Every time you eat this raw meat now, there will be less of it.”


  After hearing the middle-aged man’s words, Mike could not help but feel embarrassed.

  He had not expected this raw meat to really be the batch that he had sold at the market.

  Then, the middle-aged man continued.

  “I don’t know where Mike went. I heard that he disappeared after he killed the Overlord Beast.”


  Mike raised his head and looked at the middle-aged man.

  The middle-aged man was fat, bald, and short, with a comical appearance.

  However, he was dressed luxuriously, and his clothes were inlaid with many gemstones.

  “Really? Actually, I don’t know where Mike went either.”


  Mike said calmly.

  The middle-aged man saw that Mike had answered him, so he immediately placed a dish in front of Mike.

  Then, he skillfully sat down and smiled at Mike.

  “Look at you, you must have just come to the Royal City of Romon!”


  Mike saw that this person was being very familiar with him and did not really want to continue paying attention to him. However, out of politeness, he still said to him.

  “Yes, I did just arrive.”


  “Then, I’ll have to tell you about the interesting places in the Royal City of Romon.”


  “Let me tell you, in the south of the Royal City of Romon, there is a…”


  Seeing that the middle-aged man talking to himself, Mike was speechless.

  He wanted to eat at another table, but he did not want to disturb the middle-aged man’s hospitality.

  Then, the second and third dishes were served one after another.

  Mike found that the middle-aged man not only shared the table with him, but also ate his food without stint.

  The man continued talking as he ate, his spittle flying all over the place.

  Such an unsightly way of eating made Mike completely give up the desire to eat. He just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.

  Finally, the middle-aged man said, “Young man, you continue to eat first. I’m going to the restroom.”


  Seeing that the middle-aged man had left, Mike got up immediately.

  As the middle-aged man was leaving, Mike immediately walked to the counter, ready to pay the bill.

  “Hello, the total bill for your table is 78,000 yuan. Would you like to pay by cash or by card?”


  “78,000 yuan? How could it be so expensive? I ate three dishes!”


  The waiter looked at the bill again and said to Mike.

  “The gentleman at the table with you has come to this restaurant a total of nine times and each time he used this kind of table-sharing method to escape paying the bill himself. By the looks of you, you appear to be a new adventurer. That man specifically targets people like you! As long as you talk to him, he will take it upon himself to bring all his food to your table, and then find an excuse to escape the bill.”


  Mike sighed helplessly.

  It would be difficult to find that greasy middle-aged man again.

  “Just swipe the card!”


  Walking out of the Romon Restaurant, Mike walked in circles on the bustling street.

  “The Conscience Grocery Store… Is there really such a store?”


  Mike asked the passersby.

  However, the answers given by these passersby was that they had never heard of this name before.

  Mike looked helplessly at the bustling crowd and the bustling high-rise buildings on the streets.

  “Where’s the system notification? Come one, do something!”


  Mike sighed and continued to explore the vicinity of the Romon Restaurant.

  Passing through one alley after another, passing through one hut after another.

  At a dilapidated fork in the road, Mike finally saw the words Conscience Grocery Store.

  The sign of the Conscience Grocery Store was covered in dust, and there was even a spider web in the upper right corner of the sign.

  Besides that, the store was small and dilapidated, and it had been opened in this kind of deserted alley.

  Compared to the beauty of the Romon Restaurant, this place was like a novice village.

  “Can I really get the registration form for the Adventurer’s Academy here?”


  Mike pushed open the door of the Conscience Grocery Store with an uneasy feeling.

  A loud and familiar voice sounded out.

  “Welcome to the Conscience Grocery Store. Tatu is happy to serve you!”


  Mike looked at the familiar middle-aged man in front of him.

  The middle-aged man also looked at him in surprise.

  The two of them spoke at the same time.

  “It’s you?”


  Without waiting for Mike to speak, the middle-aged man spoke first.

  “Young man, I didn’t cheat you. I gave you so much information about the Royal City of Romon. It’s not too much to treat me to a meal, right?”


  Mike said helplessly.

  “Is that the cost of a meal? It cost me 78,000 yuan!”


  The middle-aged man noticed that the tone of Mike’s voice indicated that he did not have much intention of blaming him, so he put on a sophisticated and tactful look to speak to Mike.

  “Ah, young man, let bygones be bygones. There must be something that you want to find here after going through so much trouble. Our Conscience Grocery Store is the most credible in business. Tell me what you need. I can give you a fair price and give you a small discount. What do you think?”


  When Mike heard the middle-aged man say this, he let go of the grudge that was in his heart.

  After all, compared to the small matter from earlier, the key was to quickly get the registration form for the Adventurer’s Academy.

  Mike said.

  “I want to buy the registration form for the Adventurer’s Academy.”


  Hearing Mike’s request, Tatu’s expression suddenly became very sinister.

  “Of course, but…”


  “What conditions do you have? Just say it!”


  Mike said lightly.

  “So straightforward!”


  Tatu laughed out loud at Mike’s statement.

  Mike looked at Tatu who was laughing crazily and asked in puzzlement.

  “What’s so funny?”
