Chapter 4 - Dinner

"It's that simple?"

An Minmin felt a little doubtful of herself.

She also enjoyed playing games, but her skill level had never been very good.

Moreover, there were only a few heroes she could play, such as Angela and Daji.

These heroes were all, without exception, very afraid of a skilled Diao Chan.

But in today's match, the opposing Diao Chan seemed like a bot, constantly getting killed by her.

Many times, she would just keep walking without using skills, allowing An Minmin to control her and easily kill her instantly.

Could it be that her gaming talent was finally manifesting?

Little did she know, the player controlling Diao Chan was already cursing wildly.

"Go to hell, Zhong Kui!"

"Don't wait until I develop!"

"Thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west!"

Diao Chan was completely terrified of the Zhong Kui controlled by Lin Feng.

Many times, Zhong Kui didn't even need to hook; he just needed to constantly sway and swing his hook in front of Diao Chan to force her movement to drastically change.

In this situation, even if An Minmin was terrible, she could still control Diao Chan, who didn't have purify, five or six times out of ten.

Thus, An Minmin happily ended the match with a legendary performance and the MVP trophy for gold mid-lane.

Throughout the afternoon, Lin Feng kept choosing various support heroes that could annoy the enemy and also complement An Minmin.

An Minmin and Jiang Xiaochun's smiles never faded; after all, the joy of climbing ranks was truly delightful.

"Awesome!"

Wu Cheng exited the game, turned off his phone screen, and stretched.

Lin Feng didn't deliberately seek credit; it was just that through an afternoon of cooperation, the address for An Minmin naturally shifted from 'School Belle An' to 'Minmin'.

At this moment, Lin Feng suggested, "We've played enough games."

"Shall we go eat? I said I'd treat you to this meal."

Wu Cheng exclaimed, "Alright, Young Master Feng!"

"Tonight, we'll really make you pay."

Since they were going to hang out together in the evening, it was naturally up to the men to cover dinner.

Lin Feng also wanted to test the return rules for a meal with both men and women present, especially when there was a spending target.

Playing was important.

But figuring out how to use the system was even more important.

All four of them had just graduated from high school, so naturally, none of them had driver's licenses, let alone cars.

Soon, a BYD Didi car arrived in front of the four, and Lin Feng naturally took the front passenger seat.

This moment actually had its subtleties.

It was hard to say whether Jiang Xiaochun and Wu Cheng were dating, but they certainly wouldn't object to sitting together.

And since the back seat could only fit three people, it was best for An Minmin to sit in the back while being able to stick close to Jiang Xiaochun.

This could make An Minmin slightly lower her guard again, and at the same time, make people feel that Lin Feng was a decent person.

The road conditions on the weekend were still quite congested, but with laughter and conversation, the twenty-minute drive quickly passed.

The State Banquet Restaurant.

"Holy cow, you're really going all out?" Wu Chenglooked at Lin Feng with a mischievous smile, then glanced at An Minmin.

An Minmin looked at the sign for the State Banquet Restaurant, feeling a little nervous inside.

Although the title of 'school belle' was very prestigious, her family was actually very ordinary.

Her parents were just ordinary laborers; her ability to enter Zhongcheng No.1 High School was entirely due to her good academic performance, ranking among the top students in the school, which meant lower tuition fees.

She had never been inside this State Banquet Restaurant before.

Not all students at Zhongcheng No.1 High Schoolwere wealthy; a significant portion were students who got in based on their academic performance, and most of these students came from ordinary working-class families, some even from disadvantaged households.

Coupled with the very strict school discipline at No.1 High School, An Minmin's family background had never been widely known.

In fact, unless someone was very ostentatious, most classmates only vaguely knew what each other's families did, but few truly understood the specific circumstances.

Even Jiang Xiaochun wasn't aware of An Minmin's family situation.

This was also because Jiang Xiaochun's family was only slightly better off than An Minmin's, so their lifestyles didn't differ much, which allowed them to become friends.

"Let's go, this isn't some high-end private place. The food is just a bit more expensive, but I must say the taste is quite good," Lin Feng said, shrugging, and then led the way.

Indeed, as Lin Feng said, the State Banquet Restaurant was only about thirty to forty percent more expensive than an average restaurant; it wasn't excessively expensive or high-end.

If you really talked about prices, wasn't the consumption in Donghai City what truly redefined one's worldview?

With 'Donghai coins' even appearing, you can imagine how ridiculous it was.

Actually, Lin Feng could have gone to a more expensive place, but he didn't dare.

He only had a little over ten thousand yuan. What if the place he went to exceeded his affordability?

For this dinner tonight, he had made up his mind that he could use all eight thousand yuan returned to his bank card, but he absolutely could not touch the balance in his WeChat Pay.

If the return failed, he would still have a few thousand yuan for living expenses, and then he could slowly figure out the system's quirks.

If he went all-in and lost all his money, wouldn't that be a disaster?

It wasn't that he didn't trust the system, but rather that finding the pattern was the key.

There was no other way; small businesses were like this. Going all-in was an art, but failing could be fatal.

People from Guangdong and Guangxi prefer light and fresh flavors. Since all four of them were locals, they naturally wouldn't order dishes that would be 'lethal' to people from those regions.

"Minmin, you order. See what you'd like to eat." Lin Feng handed over his phone.

An Minmin felt a pang of panic inside; just a glance at the prices made her hesitant to order.

A plate of blanched greens in supreme broth, priced at 88.

What kind of greens are these?!

88 yuan?

88 yuan could feed her for a week!

The so-called blanched greens in supreme broth was essentially a bowl of clear water, with some ginger added, then a few stalks of greens thrown in and heated up.

For a normal consumer, 88 yuan for a plate of blanched greens in supreme broth was indeed ridiculous.

However, Lin Feng had anticipated this, so he said, "Minmin, you have to order. This is a private room, and there's a minimum spend."

"Only if everyone orders a little can we meet the minimum spend of five thousand yuan."

Jiang Xiaochun hadn't expected Lin Feng to be so extravagant, getting a private room with a five-thousand-yuan minimum for four people.

Wu Cheng looked at Jiang Xiaochun's questioning gaze and could only shrug.

He also wanted to know what Lin Feng was up to. It wasn't that they couldn't afford to eat at such a restaurant, but eating there would mean they'd have to stay home for a long time afterward.

Could it be…

Lin Feng was interested in An Minmin?

Otherwise, there was no real explanation for why Lin Feng was going to such lengths.

An Minmin was clearly a bit intimidated at this point and could only force herself to look at the menu and order.

If she didn't order, wouldn't it be an even greater waste of money?

For her, that was absolutely unacceptable.

Lin Feng looked at An Minmin and knew his judgment was likely correct.

Good thing he didn't foolishly take An Minmin to buy a bag directly, or she would have been scared away immediately.
