Chapter 46 - Reserve Food

The cafeteria at Notting Junior Academy is divided into two floors.

The first floor is for civilian students and work-study students; the second floor is for aristocratic students and academy teachers.

"Why not go to the second floor?"

After hearing from Wang Sheng, Xiao Wu was puzzled.

"We can't afford to go to the second floor."

Wang Sheng said with a bitter face, suddenly realizing that Xiao Wu seemed to be unaware of certain things.

"On the first floor, one copper soul coin can buy three meals and fill you up. If you go to the second floor, one copper soul coin can buy at most one meal."

"The price difference is that big?"

Tang San was surprised.

"There's soul beast meat." Zhou Qing guessed.

**"I've seen in books that some ten-year-old soul beasts can be tamed and raised, like the Qingyu chicken. This soul beast gives up individual strength to choose the continuation of its bloodline. For the survival of the species, it has a strong egg-laying ability, and its meat is also delicious."

"Indeed." Wang Sheng said. He had also been to the second floor, but it was too expensive. One Qingyu chicken egg costs five copper soul coins, and a whole Qingyu chicken costs two silver soul coins!

It's not that they can't afford it, but work-study students usually don't have much income. Spending all their money for a single egg or chicken isn't worth it.

Tang San began to understand how much soul master cultivation consumes.

Just eating alone separates civilian soul masters from aristocratic soul masters.

Aristocratic soul masters have a lot of money and can buy soul beast meat. Tang San had already experienced the effects of soul beast meat when he was in Holy Soul Village.

The meat of that big white carp was not only delicious and nutritious but also boosted vitality. If eaten over a long period, it might even speed up soul power cultivation.

That big white carp in the creek had only one.

However, as the Lingyun Turtle grows, its spirit-gathering effect will continue to strengthen. In the future, the number of big white carp transforming into soul beasts in that creek should increase, right?

For now, he and Zhou Qing weren't short of money.

But this first meal still had to be eaten on the first floor. Before understanding the specific situation of Notting Academy, they had to adhere to the principle of "don't show off wealth."

Zhou Qing also had the same idea.

However, after everyone queued up and bought food from the window, several tall upperclassmen over 1.6 or 1.7 meters walked in.

The students eating on the first floor saw them and immediately lowered their heads, eating quietly, not daring to look directly at them.

"Who are those people?"

Xiao Wu frowned. "They look quite arrogant."

"That's Xiao Chenyu. In the academy, he's always been self-willed and has already obtained a soul ring. He's a level 11 soul master." Wang Sheng said, his expression serious but not fearful.

"Oh, isn't this Wang Sheng?"

Xiao Chenyu glanced at Wang Sheng and walked over with his followers. He scanned the work-study student group, his gaze stopping on Xiao Wu for a moment. He sneered and said, "There's such a cute little loli this year?"

"What did you say? Want to fight?"

Daring to call her "little loli," Xiao Wu put her tray on the table, clenched her fists, and was ready to teach Xiao Chenyu a lesson.

Level 11 soul master?

She wasn't afraid!

If she hadn't condensed her first soul ring, how would she have dared to leave Star Dou Forest?

"Tsk."

Xiao Chenyu sneered but didn't intend to cause trouble in the cafeteria. He turned to his followers and said, "Let's go upstairs. Today, I'll treat!"

"Long live Boss Xiao!"

His followers cheered and mocked Wang Sheng and the others, saying they could never afford soul beast meat.

"Damn! Who do those guys think they are looking down on?"

Xiao Wu was furious and was about to cause trouble.

Soul beast meat...

Xiao Wu was a bit upset about this, but what bothered her more was that they said she couldn't afford it?

Ridiculous!

When she was in Star Dou Forest, she had eaten many bird-type soul beast eggs. The 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit wasn't raised on vegetarian food!

Also, she had seen the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Blue Bull Python eating many low-level soul beasts before reaching the 100,000-year level!

"Forget it."

Wang Sheng hurriedly stopped Xiao Wu, his face panicked. "You can't fight in the cafeteria. If the teachers find out, we'll be punished."

"So, fighting outside the cafeteria is okay?"

Zhou Qing asked with a peculiar logic.

Uh... as long as it's not in places like the teaching building or cafeteria, other places.
