In just ten minutes, Lin Jiansheng and He Zhiqiu became best friends.
When they saw the two of them walk into the canteen at the end of the town, the ascendants who were eating fell silent at the same time and revealed strange expressions.
Lin Jiansheng was an ascender who hadpleted the assessment mission in the shortest time possible, while He Zhiqiu was an old fart who had worked hard to farm for ten years but had yet to pass the assessment. The fact that the two of them appeared in the canteen together was truly puzzling and surprising.
He Zhiqiu naturally noticed the gazes of these people. Embarrassment immediately appeared on his old face. Lin Jiansheng said nothing about it. He only grabbed He Zhiqiu’s arm and pulled him towards an empty table. “Brother He, let’s sit at this table.”
“Okay.”
The moment Lin Jiansheng sat down, Mr. Bai, the chef in the canteen, walked out.
Mr. Bai was slightly chubby. When he spoke with narrowed eyes, he looked like Caro Xiangfu.
Mr. Bai stood in the middle of the aisle as he said to Lin Jiansheng, “Mr. Lin, those who have sessfullypleted the assessment should leave the town immediately. The canteen of the town is public, and it is only open to those who are participating in the mission assessment, as well as the boss and staff of the base. Now, you no longer belong to the town, so… ording to the rules, you can’t enjoy meals for free.”
Lin Jiansheng understood what Mr. Bai meant.
He asked Mr. Bai, “If it’s not free, how about I pay you?”
Mr. Bai raised his eyebrows.
Thinking that Lin Jiansheng was going to use the Spirit Stones of the Holy Spirit Continent to pay for his food, Mr. Bai reminded Lin Jiansheng, “Mr. Lin, in the Cang Lang Continent, we only recognize the currency and Spirit Stones of the Cang Lang Continent. The Spirit Stones and paper money of your hometown can’t be used here.”
Lin Jiansheng had only been in the Cang Lang Continent for a few days. Mr. Bai didn’t think that Lin Jiansheng had the spirit stones of this world.
After hearing Old White’s words, Lin Jiansheng smiled calmly. Then, he crossed his arms and interrupted Old White unhappily, “Just say it. How much are you charging?”
Mr. Bai blinked and said with a smile, “…It’s not expensive. It costs two spirit stones a day.”
One spirit stone was worth a thousand paper money. In other words, living in the town for a day cost two thousand yuan. To Beast Tamers, two spirit stones were not worth mentioning.
But…
Lin Jiansheng was a Beast Tamer who had ascended from a small world. After they bought the trantor, they owed the Space Administration a sum of money. Where could Lin Jiansheng get the spirit stones to pay for his food?
Mr. Bai wasn’t deliberately making things difficult for Lin Jiansheng, but he was only an employee and had to follow the rules.
However, to Mr. Bai’s surprise, Lin Jiansheng was rich.
There was quite a bit of money.
Lin Jiansheng patted his arm, and the virtual S-rank identity card flew out from his arm and floated in the air. Lin Jiansheng pointed at the identity card and said to Mr. Bai, “I’ll pay for the entire month’s worth of food.”
A look of surprise shed across Mr. Bai’s eyes. He found the card reader in the canteen skeptically, then he leaned the card reader on Lin Jiansheng’s arm and gently touched it. Then, he heard the reminder that the payment was sessful.
Lin Jiansheng said that he wanted to pay for the entire month’s worth of food.
If it was a month, he would have to pay a total of 60 spirit stones.
Lin Jiansheng had only been in town for a few days. Where did he get so many spirit stones?
He Zhiqiu had been here for ten years, but his four pockets were still as light as ever. Therefore, when he saw that Lin Jiansheng could actually easily pay for a month’s worth of food, he couldn’t help but feel envious and puzzled. “Mr. Lin, why do you have the spirit stones of the Cang Lang Continent?”
At this moment, the ascenders at the nearby tables also pricked up their ears to eavesdrop.
They couldn’t figure it out either.
Mr. Bai also looked at Lin Jiansheng curiously.
Lin Jiansheng didn’t hide it and said bluntly, “I earned it from Mr. Phnd.”
As for how he earned it, he didn’t say it.
Mr. Bai narrowed his eyes and cupped his fists at Lin Jiansheng in admiration. “You’re the first person to dare to earn money from Phnd. I’m impressed.” Since Lin Jiansheng had given him money, he was a customer of the canteen. Mr. Bai immediately got someone to send food over.

After dinner, it was already dark.
He Zhiqiu asked Lin Jiansheng, “I wonder where you live now?” After the meal, He Zhiqiu’s rtionship with Lin Jiansheng deepened. He no longer called Lin Jiansheng Mr. Lin, but Brother Lin.
Lin Jiansheng revealed a troubled expression. He said with a frown, “I set up a tent outside the town. I originally nned to return to the tent to stay, but now, the entrance to the town should be closed. I don’t know where to stay tonight.”
