Capítulo 45: Bounty

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!


Capítulo 46: Learning About The Situation

"What's the matter, Brother Yuan? Are you full already?" Xiao Hua asked him after noticing that he'd stopped eating the food.

"No... not yet…" Yuan quickly returned to stuffing food into his mouth, but his ears remained perked and focused on the group of players behind him, as he was curious about this 'Player Yuan' they were mentioning. Surely, they must be talking about someone else who has the same name as him, right? After all, it's not uncommon for people to have the same name in games nowadays, as they have removed the 'unrepeatable names' limit for most games these days, allowing players to have whatever name they want without the frustration of changing names because someone had already picked the name before them.

"Though, this Player Yuan sure is quite the mystery. Anyone with a working brain would not hide their existence when there's so much fame to their name. If he continues to hide his identity, people will eventually forget about him, wasting this massive opportunity to become famous."

"Do you think Player Yuan is actually someone within the Legacy?"

"That's not possible. Everyone in the Legacy has already announced their identity in the game to the world, and we know that it's not possible for one person to have two different characters in this game even if they buy two consoles."

"It doesn't matter who this Player Yuan is! As long as there's a bounty for his head, everyone will be aiming to PK him!"

'Good heavens, what on earth did this Player Yuan do to make the players so angry?' Yuan silently pondered to himself as he listened to the players talk.

A few minutes later, when Yuan could no longer contain his curiosity, he turned around and spoke to the players, "Excuse me, can you tell me more about this Player Yuan? What did he do to make the others want to Player Kill him?"

Hearing his question, the players looked at him with a weird expression.

"Hm? You don't know about Player Yuan? Have you not been on the internet lately? Even people who don't play the game know about him!" One of them said to them.

"Unfortunately, I haven't…" Yuan said with a bitter smile.

"Well, Player Yuan is a mysterious player who has been dominating the game with an impossibly fast progression recently, and there are even accusations of him being a cheater."

"A cheater?" Yuan's eyes widened with surprise. How does one even cheat in this game?

"Is that why people want to PK him? Because he's cheating?" He then asked.

"That's only one of many reasons why people want him dead. Well, the biggest reason is that they envy this Player Yuan, who is akin to a god-like existence in this game at this current moment."

"God-like existence?" Yuan expressed awe.

"Of course. He not only has a Divine-grade technique but also a Divine-grade servant! And it hasn't even been that long since the game launched! It's no wonder people are calling him a cheater! How else can you progress that fast?!"

"Eh…?" Yuan's eyes widened with shock after hearing such words. A Divine-grade technique and a Divine-grade servant?

He slowly turned to look at Xiao Hua and swallowed nervously. Surely, it must only be some kind of coincidence…

When the players saw Yuan's bewildered reaction, they all laughed loudly, "Hahaha! We know exactly how you feel, young man! We also felt the same when we first heard it!"

"However, this Player Yuan is not only powerful, but he's also incredibly rich, as he'd obtained over 1,000,000 gold coins not long ago, becoming the first person to enter the Wealth Leaderboards!"

"And he even soloed this dungeon recently!"

"..."

Yuan began sweating profusely at their words.

'Heavens! They are really talking about me!' He cried inwardly after this realization.

"I-I see…" Yuan tried his best to remain calm and said to them, "Thank you for this information, I will now also keep my eyes out for this Player Yuan…"

"Good luck, buddy! We'll also try our best to find and kill this Player Yuan! But because almost every player is currently looking for him, it won't be that easy!" The players said to him with bright smiles all over their faces, and they left the restaurant shortly later.

"..."

Yuan quickly turned around and continued eating with his back soaked in cold sweat.

'What the hell?! I am definitely not a cheater! How dare people accuse me of cheating when they don't even know anything?!'

It was at this moment that Yuan swore to keep his identity a secret from the other players, as it would be disastrous if people knew of his real identity. And even if he was powerful enough to defeat other players, he did not want to fight every player that crosses paths with him in the future.

'Why have things become so complicated now? Why must I be hunted by every player in the world because I got a little bit lucky? I only want to enjoy this game like everyone else!' Yuan sighed inwardly.

However, this situation is something he cannot control, and he could only hope that people will soon forget about him.

Meanwhile, Xiao Hua and Luo Li silently stared at Yuan with a contemplating expression, almost as though they were unable to comprehend Yuan's conversation with the other players just now. However, they quickly gave up a few seconds later and continued eating as though it wasn't their concern.

An hour later, Yuan rubbed his round stomach with a satisfied expression. "Ahh, that was amazing…"

Luo Li chuckled and said to him, "What's even more amazing is Daoist Yuan's stomach. I did not think you would really eat everything, and I apologize for doubting your ability."

"Young Lady, the bill will be 6 gold coins…" The server said to her afterward.

"I will have someone bring the money over later," she nodded.

A few minutes later, all of the servers and even the cooks in the restaurant came outside to bow to them.

"We thank Young Lady and her friends for their patronage." They said to them.

"What should we do now, Daoist Yuan?" Luo Li asked him after they left the restaurant.

"Let's return to the Lord's Manor. I'm too full to do anything right now." Yuan said to her.

"Very well." She nodded.
