Crimson Preferred? Mu Rufeng smiled inwardly—turns out that Crimson Preferred was doing quite good business now; there were even customers from Golden City shopping there.
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to browse. How many do you have left? I'll take them all." Mu Rufeng said.
"Ten Soul Power per ten skewers. Let me calculate; there are about a thousand skewers left. Are you sure you want them all?"
"All of them." Mu Rufeng said, and immediately swept a thousand Soul Power.
[Discount successful, 900 Soul Power successfully paid]
Sure enough, with the Soul Power payment, the discount coupon was still valid.
"Alright sir, please wait a moment. I'll finish roasting theirs and then start on yours." The Octopus Family was delighted.
With that, the stall was done for the day, and he could afford to send an avatar to play above.
Those Abnormality skewers were almost ready to come off the grill in just another two or three minutes, leaving only Mu Rufeng at the stall.
"Sir, I'll start grilling yours now; it'll take about ten minutes." The Octopus said and took out a handful of beef skewers, lining them up to fill the entire grill.
"Um." Mu Rufeng nodded, sipping the sweet, tasty milk tea in his mouth.
Xiao Long perched on Mu Rufeng's shoulder, staring intently at the beef on the grill, saliva nearly dripping out.
Three minutes later, the first batch of skewers was ready, roughly over three hundred skewers.
"Go on, eat. You seem famished." Mu Rufeng handed a bunch to Xiao Long.
Xiao Long's paws struggled to hold even one skewer, so Mu Rufeng let the Bandage hold them, feeding Xiao Long the grilled skewers.
It must be said, after Mu Rufeng tasted the flavor, it was hugely different from the skewers in the real world.
The flavors were worlds apart; thankfully, Mu Rufeng wasn't picky, or else he might fear that he couldn't stomach the food from the real world and adapt to it.
In a while, all thousand skewers were grilled.
Usually, a thousand beef skewers wouldn't even fill Mu Rufeng to five percent fullness.
But after just over a hundred skewers, he was already stuffed.
Clearly, this grilled skewer with secret sauce had a significant effect.
Xiao Long ate roughly fifty skewers and could eat no more, having already returned to his Contract Slot to sleep.
Mu Rufeng immediately put the uneaten beef skewers into his Item Slot.
And true, the beef skewers automatically merged to take up only one slot, which satisfied Mu Rufeng considerably.
"Time to check out the second floor; I want to see what's different about the gambling method there."
Mu Rufeng muttered to himself and then headed for the elevator.
However, he suddenly remembered something and quickly spent a lot of Soul Power to buy food he could eat at the Octopus Family's stall.
At the same time, he bought a lot for Little Ying and had her store everything in her stomach.
That way, they could have something to snack on after they returned.
After completing all this, Mu Rufeng then took the elevator up to the second floor.
When Mu Rufeng stepped out of the elevator, he saw a booth not far away, beside the railing.
The second floor's casino consisted of individual booths, while the spots near the railings were for guests to rest.
From there, one could see the bustling first floor lobby.
At that moment, Murong Qingqing happened to look up towards the elevator entrance and saw Mu Rufeng.
She immediately stood up excitedly.
"Xiao Tian, Mr. Mu is here," Murong Qingqing said.
Hearing this, Zhao Tian immediately turned her head and saw Mu Rufeng approaching.
"Mr. Mu," Zhao Tian stood up and called out.
They were just about to step out of the booth when Mu Rufeng had already walked over.
"Why are you guys here?" Mu Rufeng asked.
"Mr. Mu, we've been waiting for you here, and we've figured out the gameplay on the second floor." Zhao Tian quickly said.
"Oh? Tell me about it." Mu Rufeng gestured for Murong Qingqing to sit down inside, and then he sat down in the booth himself.
"Good timing, I bought some food and didn't finish it; you guys try some too."
Mu Rufeng wasn't in a rush to speak, taking out twenty beef skewers and two cups of milk tea and placing them on the table.
"Octopus Family's secret beef skewers and milk tea?" Zhao Tian exclaimed upon seeing the beef.
"I love the beef skewers from this place, and their milk tea too."
"I like them too; it's just that the food up here is too expensive."
Both of them stared intently at the beef skewers and milk tea.
Most guests would hesitate to eat upstairs, as even the cheapest item costs ten Soul Power, and you can consume a lot in one go.
While some could get full with ten Soul Power, others couldn't. Once upstairs, they couldn't last without spending dozens, and dozens of Soul Power could allow them to stay in Golden City for many more days.
"Go ahead and eat. Tell me what's happening." Mu Rufeng said.
Hearing that, they no longer hesitated, grabbed the beef skewers, and started eating while explaining to Mu Rufeng about the situation on the second floor.
Firstly, the games on the second floor were completely different from those on the first floor.
The second floor involved one-on-one or one-against-many bets among the guests.
There were also one-against-the-dealer or multiple-against-the-dealer bets, with Golden City acting as the dealer.
Additionally, the games were played in individual booths.
Each booth had different games.
Starting from booth number one up to the last, there were a total of one hundred booths.
Zhao Tian and Murong Qingqing had visited booth number one, which was the closest to the elevator entrance.
Newcomers to the second floor could only go to booth number one, and once you win once there, you could move to booth number two.
