Chapter 238: What Would The Respected Guest Like To Eat?
The other team of five people were also wearing exquisite and decent clothes, feeling uncomfortable all over.
For doomsday survivors, this kind of comfort could be deadly.
Yu Jiang still remembered the instance reminder: do not forget who you are.
Losing yourself in the manor means you can never get out. Why force them to change clothes? It’s not just to silently corrupt them with these things.
She doesn’t wear the shoes sent by the manor; one reason is inconvenience for movement, but keeping an important piece of buff equipment on her body that she can see by looking down can also remind her when necessary.
Compared to finding a way out, Yu Jiang wants to find items to deal with the monsters in the manor more.
With a weapon in hand, she would feel more secure.
The antique candlestick can be used, but when there are free item weapons in the instance, Yu Jiang won’t use it unless absolutely necessary.
For a three-star instance, using such an expensive item is a bit of a loss.
After preparing, the group found the butler and maid in front, followed them through twists and turns, and arrived at a magnificent restaurant.
Candles were placed on the long table, along with exquisite tableware. There was also abundant food: roast turkey, steak, cream soup, wine.
In the half-light, half-dark environment, these things looked particularly tempting, especially for these exhausted and hungry survivors.
According to the positions arranged by the butler, the group sat down silently and used light screen scan on everything in front of them.
The food is normal, and the butler and surrounding maids only show ‘Manor Butler/Maid’, with no other information.
The stairs covered with dark carpet had only dim lights, and no manor master was seen.
“Respected guests, this is the manor’s cook. You can tell him whatever you want to eat.”
The butler gestured to introduce the cook wearing a chef’s hat beside him, also dressed neatly.
“We don’t want to eat anything.” Number 5 stared at the roast turkey on the table and swallowed hard.
Having gone through so many instances, they used to have to spend crystal coins even for a compressed biscuit. Now such good food is free? They must want something in return, right?
Number 5 looked away, not looking at the food on the table.
“Guests might as well try this first.” The butler didn’t mind the guests’ refusal and had the cook serve a signature steak.
“Entertaining the guests is my duty. Letting guests rest with empty stomachs will anger the master.”
The butler was polite and courteous, with a tone that brooked no doubt, as if they would be killed if they didn’t order.
“Are the guests dissatisfied with my cooking skills?” The cook’s eyes turned cold.
No cook can tolerate others saying their cooking skills are bad; it’s no different from shitting on their head.
“No.” Number 6, being stared at, immediately denied, “I’ll just have steak, well done.”
The butler nodded with a full smile.
As long as the manor fulfills their requests, regardless of whether they eat or not, there will be a cost.
They will forget something or lose something important.
The butler’s gaze swept over one by one. Number 5’s player team reported dish names in turn, all relatively safe foods: roast turkey, roast pigeon.
When it came to Yu Jiang’s team, Pure Love Cockroach Spicy Spicy and Lightning Mage King looked at their teammates, then at the opposite side.
Lightning Mage King was about to grit his teeth and speak when he heard Yu Jiang’s voice.
“Me me me.” She raised her hand, looking like a starving ghost reincarnated, excitedly asking, “Can we eat whatever we want?”
“Yes.” The butler smiled more amiably.
It seems this guest has already taken a liking to the manor.
The five players opposite quickly exchanged glances. Number 1 seemed like a fool; with her in front, it was perfect for everyone to find an opportunity to investigate clues.
Yu Jiang cleared her throat, “I want steamed lamb, steamed bear paw, steamed deer tail, roast duck, roast young chicken, roast gosling, braised pork, braised duck.”
The butler and cook’s expressions froze, their faces growing increasingly ugly. Yu Jiang seemed oblivious and paused for breath in the middle before continuing to list dish names.
The five players opposite were also stunned. Can it be done like this? Isn’t she afraid of being beaten to death?
“I also want clear white immortal pointing the way, the one the old empress dowager loved, bean sprouts stuffed with meat filling.”
“Enough, I said enough!” The cook’s face stiffened, interrupting her irritably.
Eat eat eat, she’s dreaming!
“The guest wants quite a lot of dishes.” The butler awkwardly squeezed out a sentence from his throat and looked at Yu Jiang’s three teammates.
Shi Xu: “Same as her.”
The butler’s smile was about to crack, as if the next second he couldn’t help but kick the two of them out.
“What about the remaining two guests? The previous dishes are not prepared in the manor, cannot be repeated, and cannot exceed ten characters.”
The butler couldn’t play anymore, stopped acting, and changed the rules.
Pure Love Cockroach Spicy Spicy confidently said, “Okay, I want the Manchu-Han Imperial Feast, just four characters oh.”
Lightning Mage King: “My requirement is lower than hers, two characters, I want eggplant balls, can you make it?”
Cook: ??? Where’s his knife? The knife!
The butler maintained a polite smile and poured red wine for everyone, as if nothing had happened just now.
The five players opposite looked at the food on their plates, hesitating whether to eat while regretting not thinking of listing dish names.
However, seeing Yu Jiang excitedly gazing at the luxurious decorations around, and really eating steak and drinking red wine, the earlier shock subsided again.
She doesn’t even have basic caution; she can’t be some powerful character.
Yu Jiang seemed not to notice the change in expressions opposite. Speaking of which, this Western food is really good; free food and drink is even better.
The light screen has scanned; the things on the table are just edible food. The problem is in the questioning phase.
Answering that they don’t want to eat anything, the butler will assume any food is fine.
As long as any food is served, it counts as satisfying the guest’s preferences; as for what purpose is achieved, they’ll know soon.
Yu Jiang discreetly glanced at some servants with slightly rough appearances. There was no one in the foothills village; they should all be here.
There must be at least twenty-something monsters in the manor, and they had just offended the butler and cook.
Only specific items can truly deal damage to them; it’s quite tricky.
Yu Jiang looked at the curtains again; quite a bit of fabric could be recovered, and selling it would be another revenue.
And these plates and spoons on the table are all good things.
There must be a lot of food in the manor kitchen?
Before the supplies were even in hand, Yu Jiang had already thought about how to use each thing.
At this moment, player Number 7 opposite showed abnormality. He was tense all over earlier, hand occasionally at his waist, in a posture ready to grab a weapon, flip the table, and run.
Now he actually tasted the delicacies in a relaxed posture.
Player Number 5’s expression was also very strange. This dinner ended in a weird atmosphere.
The two teams returned to the courtyard outside the guest rooms. Number 5 took several deep breaths.
“I received a system message: the manor provided me with food I like, and I need to pay the reward. Damn it… My health points cap is only half left! As long as I’m in the manor, the buff will take effect.”
Thinking of this, his fists clenched tight.
He is their team’s defense system main force; his health points cap was originally 120, now down to 60.
He didn’t want to hide it, but the health points were right on his head; Yu Jiang and the others could all see it.
Monster cook smiled: Want to kill them now.
