The obese Abnormality looked around upon hearing this and sure enough, all the other Abnormalities were looking at him with a kind of amused expression.
He had noticed it before but thought their gazes were directed at Mu Rufeng, the Level 3 Contractor.
Could it be that they were looking at him?
Still, he found it hard to accept that a Level 3 Contractor could kill a Level 7 Ghost Beast in a second, let alone a Level 8 Ghost King.
In that case, wasn't he, a Level 7 Ghost General, unable to withstand a single move from this Contractor?
"Um, sorry, sir, I was too rash just now. I'll treat you to four cups of milk tea as an apology."
The obese Abnormality immediately paid forty Soul Power at the snack stall: "Make four cups of your signature milk tea for these four."
"Alrighty, sir, do you want it iced, room temperature, or hot?" The Abnormality was still an octopus.
Mu Rufeng looked over the two food stall workers and then at the others, realizing that it seemed the workers were all octopuses.
"I want it iced, iced." Little Ying glanced at Mu Rufeng, and seeing him nod slightly, quickly called out.
"I'll have it hot, and this little one wants it iced," Bai Jingwei said.
"Ying ying ying~~!" Xiao Long suddenly shook its head.
"Wait, Xiao Long wants it iced," Little Ying suddenly said.
"I'm human, do you have anything I can drink?" Mu Rufeng asked.
"Yes, of course, we do," the octopus nodded repeatedly.
Meanwhile, the obese Abnormality and the skinny meat had quietly slipped away when Little Ying agreed.
The surrounding Abnormalities who had gathered to watch the commotion also dispersed.
"Papa, this oyster is really delicious," Little Ying said, having already eaten one.
"Little girl, if it's that tasty, do you want another one?" the octopus, holding a grilled Abnormal Oyster, tempted Little Ying.
"No, I want to save room for other delicious food," Little Ying refused.
"Oh, okay, then you might want to try the stinky tofu; it's also my business, right next to the milk tea stall," the octopus pointed out.
"Okay, sure," Little Ying nodded again and again.
"Hehe, I can't believe there's stinky tofu here," Mu Rufeng laughed.
"Sir, humans can eat stinky tofu too; you can give it a try," the octopus offered again.
"Alright, I'll give it a try," Mu Rufeng nodded and went to the third snack stall.
"I'll take four servings of stinky tofu."
"Right away, sir. That'll be forty Soul Power. Please wait a moment; it'll be ready in about two minutes," an octopus, identical to the first, said from behind the stall.
"Tell me, why do you all look exactly alike? Are you relatives or something?" Mu Rufeng asked.
"Nope, that's all me. See, all these stalls down this street are mine. My talent is splitting," the octopus said with a smile.
"There must be at least twenty snack stalls down this road, all run by you?" Mu Rufeng was a bit astonished.
"Yeah, just a little side business. Sir, your milk teas are ready to be picked up," the octopus said cheerily.
Mu Rufeng nodded, looked at Bai Jingwei, and she immediately understood, going over to fetch the milk teas.
With one cup each in hand, Mu Rufeng inspected his and was slightly surprised.
[Original Milk Tea (Iced)]: After consumption, it can enhance one's Concentration, making it easier to focus spirit, and slightly increase soul power and Ghost Power.
It seemed everything here came with attributes.
Mu Rufeng immediately inserted a straw and took a sip of the milk tea.
"Hmm? It actually tastes pretty good," Mu Rufeng's eyes brightened.
The tea was rich in creamy flavor, with pearls and a coconut-like ingredient adding a chewy texture to the drink.
It was far more delicious than any milk tea in the real world, even more delectable than the milk teas featured in gourmet spreads.
After the stinky tofu was ready, Mu Rufeng began wandering around the place with Little Ying and the others.
However, before they even finished visiting all twenty of the octopus's stalls, Little Ying and Bai Jingwei were already too full.
Mu Rufeng was still alright, only having eaten until he was half full, mainly as there were too few foods that humans could eat here.
As for the Frost Giant Dragon, it seemed to have no issues at all, apparently having a bigger appetite than Little Ying.
"The two of you go back to the Contract Slot first; I'll take Xiao Long for another walk," Mu Rufeng said.
Hearing this, the two of them nodded, as they had just eaten their fill and could now go back for a rest.
"Ying ying ying!" Xiao Long happily flew onto Mu Rufeng's shoulder, pointing at a stall selling human sashimi.
This human sashimi stall had quite a few customers too, seven or eight gathered around waiting.
"No eating human flesh, not even Clone's meat," Mu Rufeng said firmly, flicking Xiao Long's forehead.
"Ying ying ying~~!" Xiao Long immediately covered its head, a look of aggrieved innocence on its face.
"Eat this," Mu Rufeng said, approaching a stall laden with ample fresh beef.
There was also a large crowd here, but they all consciously made way for Mu Rufeng when they saw him arriving.
Clearly, they either knew of Mu Rufeng's exploits on the first floor or had witnessed them themselves.
In the Mysterious World, the might of your fists was an unassailable truth.
"I didn't expect to find fresh beef here," Mu Rufeng remarked.
Laughing, the octopus replied, "This is fresh beef I specially purchased from the Crimson Preferred in the real world."
"Teamed with my secret sauce, it's an unmatched flavor. How much would you like?"
