Bab 4: Ten times

The manager slowly came back to his senses and looked at me with a strange look.

But eventually he said, "Oh, if it's too cheap, do you want to pay more?"

I gave a nod of agreement as I said, "It's very simple, it's too cheap for someone of my status. So I do indeed want to pay more. Ten times the normal price, how about it?"

The manager looked at me like he thought that I was kidding, but I just had a serious look on my face.

Finally, the manager gave a snort as he said, "Your status? What status does a beggar like you…"

Before he could finish, he was taken aback by what I did.

I had raised my hand when he had started talking and had placed it over the table.

Then with a single thought, there was a pile of something that appeared on the table.

This pile shocked the manager and everyone else who had been watching.

I didn't care about the shocked looks and just said to the manager, "Ten times, will you take it or not?"

The manager looked at me with the same shocked look before looking at the pile of silver taels that were on the table.

After giving a gulp, he asked, "This young master, if I may…may I have a look at these taels of silver."

I just casually waved my hand at him as if saying that I didn't care.

The manager slowly reached out and took one of the taels of silver. He brought it up in front of him and tested it in various ways, even going as far as using his teeth to bite down slightly into the silver.

As he did so, the look of shock on his face grew.

That was because no matter how he tested this thing, he found that it was real silver.

The manager quickly looked at the pile on the table and leaned in to take a closer look at it. As he did, the look of shock on his face just kept growing since he could tell that all of these taels of silver were real.

After realizing that all of this money on the table was real, the manager immediately changed his tone and said, "Young master, of course we will accept your proposal. May I ask what you wish to eat?"

I gave a simple nod before saying, "Bring me one of everything."

The manager gave a quick nod before turning to the waiter to say, "Go and put in the young master's order! Hurry!"

The waiter had still been in a daze, so the manager even went to kick him when he was still standing there in a daze. Then the manager turned back and said with a smile, "Young master, please wait while I prepare some tea for you."

I casually waved my hand as I said, "Go do your thing. Don't mind me."

The manager quickly gave a nod before heading off.

When it was just me and Lin Li Zi, she looked at me with a strange look and asked, "Big brother, where did you get all this money?"

But I just put my finger to my lip and said with a serious look, "Let's not talk about it here. It's not good to talk about money when we're outside."

Lin Li Zi slowly looked around before giving a nod and falling silent.

This money, it was the money that the system had prepared.

The Super Prodigal System gave me as much currency as I wanted, but the only limitation was that I had to squander it. If I used that money for myself, I would be punished by having my points taken away from me.

It was just that these thousand taels of silver that I took out were from being considered a large amount squandered.

This large sum for normal people was only considered one point by the system.

To really earn money, it seemed that I had to go do the missions that the system gave me.

But how would I do that?

After all, the mission was to spend spirit stones, the currency of cultivators.

It would be useless to give them to normal mortals like this…

It didn't take long for the manager to come back with the tea.

During this time, I even had to say to Lin Li Zi in a small voice, "Don't even think about taking any of this money. I can see your hand slowly inching for it."

Lin Li Zi trembled like she was a child that had her hand caught in the cookie jar.

She looked at me with those big wide eyes as if she was pleading with me to reconsider, but I wouldn't go back on this. These were the items that the system had given me to squander, so I would never hold back with them since there was plenty more where that came from.

Lin Li Zi revealed a depressed look as she pulled her hand back before just staring at the pile of silver taels with the same depressed look.

As the manager served the tea, the waiter also came forth with a few of the simpler dishes that had been finished.

However, there was a problem…

The taels of silver that were on the table took up a large amount of space, so there wasn't much room for the dishes that they brought out.

I just casually said, "Manager, you can take this away now and settle our bill." After a pause, I added, "Anything extra will be your tip."

The manager's eyes lit up the moment that he heard this before he started quickly nodding his head and saying, "Yes, yes, young master. I'll take care of it right away."

The total of all this food was less than eighty taels of silver, so ten times that was only eight hundred taels. There was a thousand taels of silver on the table, which meant that there was a tip of at least two hundred taels of silver for the manager.

It was naturally an amount that he would be excited by since he wouldn't even earn that in working here for six months.

Once they left, I looked at Lin Li Zi with a smile and picked up a mantou for her before saying, "Li Zi, let's eat. Here's the mantou that you wanted."

Lin Li Zi just looked at me with a bitter smile on her face, but she still said, "Feed it to me, big brother."

This little sister of mine, she really liked to be spoiled.

But I was fine with that as I brought the mantou to her mouth and stuffed it in.

"Big brother!" She said with a stuffed mouth as she glared at me.

I just picked up my chopsticks and put some more food in a bowl for her before saying, "Eat up and grow healthy. That's all big brother wants for you."

Lin Li Zi slowly gave a nod in response before digging in.
