  The night passed like that. Bei Feng woke up before dawn the next morning and was leaping up the mountain with quick and graceful steps in a leisurely manner. Every step took him many meters ahead!

  There was a strange rhythmic gait to his steps. His foot would land very stably on his heels, and kick off again lightly with his toes. With every push, his entire figure would flash forward like a phantom!

  Without much effort, he had reached his usual spot on the mountain. Bei Feng relaxed his muscles with some light stretching and immediately transitioned into the Minor Illumination Breathing Technique.

  This time, Bei Feng noticed that the amount of purplish energy mixed in the sun ray had increased. It was already taking up almost two thirds of the sun ray!

  As before, the purplish energy quickly disappeared into his skeleton as soon as they entered his body without leaving a single trace. Until now, the utility of the purplish ray remained unknown.

  "There's no way that this purplish ray is completely useless. Perhaps the reason why there are still no changes to my body now is because the amount of purplish ray is still too little?"

  Bei Feng mumbled to himself. He refused to believe that the purplish ray he'd attracted after breaking through to the Grand Completion stage of the breathing technique was useless! The only possible explanation was that the real abilities of the purplish energy would only appear after a certain amount had been accumulated!

  But as for how much he needed to absorb and how much time was needed to accumulate it, that was something that Bei Feng had no way of finding out.

  After absorbing the morning rays, Bei Feng did not linger and directly returned.

  The amount of secrets within his mansion was really too much. Although his mansion was located in an extremely remote place and normally nobody would come to visit, what was he going to do if someone suddenly showed up?

  Bei Feng was like an old man who had a pot of gold hidden under his pillow, afraid that others would find out about it.

  The main thing was that although Insatiable and Black Hole were very intelligent, they were still too young!

  The first thing Bei Feng did after descending the mountain was to rush to the brook and check on his mini pond. Only when he saw the four Frigid Snowy Ice Arowanas swimming about energetically did he manage to relax.

  The Frigid Snowy Ice Arowanas were packed rather close together, and appeared to be quite uncomfortable. The biggest one even had difficulties turning around. 'Looks like they won't die. But this pond is really a bit too small. Looks like I have to build a more suitable one for them.'

  Bei Feng shook his head and returned to the old mansion. The first thing he did upon going back was to refreeze all meat in the basement before preparing for breakfast.

  The Variant Giant Salamander truly had little value to him now. After some thought, Bei Feng sent a message on the group chat.

  "Reservations are open for today, with a limit of 50 tables! Price per table is 1,600 yuan!"

  The moment this message appeared, the chat immediately fell silent for a short moment. After an whole minute, it suddenly exploded in chaos!

  "Holy f*ck! The price had been lowered?!"

  "This black-hearted boss actually reduced the price? Could it be that his head was kicked by a mule somehow?"

  "Guy above, it doesn't matter if the boss's head is faulty or not. The important thing is that there's 50 tables up for grabs tomorrow! This time, I'll definitely be able to get a table!"

  Amidst the excitement, there were still a few people who were more clear-headed. "Could it be that the ingredients or the quality is different this time?" Someone who had already tried the Variant Giant Salamander the last time asked.

  Seeing the response on the chat, Bei Feng almost spurted out a mouthful of blood in rage. They're even speculating whether his head had been kicked by a mule?!

  "There's a promotion event going on for the restaurant this time. The ingredients and the quality will be the same, so you can rest assured about that. But due to the limited space, please take note that everyone will be seated outside. Do remember to bring some sunscreen lotion if you're coming!"

  "If the weather is bad tomorrow, the promotion event will be canceled!"

  After sending two messages in a roll, Bei Feng chucked the phone aside and completely ignored the chat. He sat down on the recliner under the Banyan tree, on the side with the leafy branches and leisurely grabbed a scroll of old taoist scriptures for a read.

  "F*ck! Is he for real? It can be done like this too?"

  "Eating outside in this weather under the sun…… wouldn't we all be baked into a bunch of black men before the meal is over?"

  Some of the girls began to feel a little uncertain. Although eating was important, beauty was the true capital of the modern world!

  There were also some girls who simply loved to eat. For the sake of nice, tasty food, they could put everything aside! At the most, they would just bring an umbrella with them!

  "D*mn it, I knew that this black-hearted boss would never be so kind as to drop the price for no reason! Indeed, it's still full of tricks and conditions!" Someone grumbled huffily.

  "Actually, this is already not that bad. At least, we don't need to bring our own tables and stools. I'll say that's quite good already!" Someone else sent with a resigned emoticon.

  "F*ck!"

  As though on cue with the chat, the peaceful and carefree expression which was on Bei Feng's face just a few seconds ago suddenly changed as he sat up from his chair with a jerk. Sh*t! If there's so many people coming, where would he find the tables to sit them?!

  He still had some unused utensils and bowls. The only thing about those bowls was that they were the old-fashioned kind; dull green with thick bases. As they had been kept in storage for too long, a thick layer of dust had also settled on them.

  His face darkened as the sudden thought appeared in his mind. Should he perhaps make the guests bring their own tables and stools? Any semblance of the calmness from before had all been flung far away.

  'Right, I'll take a look at how many people sent their deposits first. If the 50 tables had not all been booked yet, I'll just cancel the event this time!'

  Bei Feng hurriedly grabbed for his mobile phone.

  'F*ck! Are these people a bunch of hungry ghosts reincarnate? Weren't those bookings made a bit too quickly?'

  Bei Feng only took a brief glance but could already see over 200 responses! Some shameless fellows even sent a few more rounds of deposits just to raise their chances of getting picked!

  Seeing this, Bei Feng had no choice but to concede defeat. He randomly accepted the deposits from 50 people and posted their names on the chat.

  Bei Feng drummed his fingers against the chair for some time as he pondered and went through all his options. Finally, his eyes lit up as he cackled evilly. "Heheh, there's a solution!"

  This is the first time that Bei Feng truly understood the phrase "there is strength in numbers"! Since some things were too troublesome for a single person to do, he should just find a bunch of people to do it for him!

  "Mystic Four, select 100 guys and have them come to my mansion." That's right, his idea was to let Mystic Four bring some manpower for him!

  "Understood! Boss, do you need anything else?"

  Mystic Four was relaxing within a luxurious manor in the city with a glass of expensive red wine in his hands. When his phone started ringing, he had looked over lazily and with disinterest. But as soon as he saw the caller's ID, his face changed drastically and he almost spat out all the wine in his mouth. His tone when answering the call was extremely respectful.

  Although the Mystics looked extremely impressive in the eyes of others, he knew that with the exception of Mystic One, their positions in Bei Feng's eyes were not as important as a random dog on the street!

  If a dog was obedient, that was fine. It could enjoy good food, water, and a shelter thanks to its master. But if the dog was disobedient and even ran about biting people, it would surely be beaten to death!

  Bei Feng could bestow these things to them, so he could easily take them away at any time!

  After some thought, Bei Feng instructed. "Bring 50 tables with you and 50 set of stools as well. Don't get the expensive ones. It doesn't have to be too big as well. Each table just needs to be able to seat four people.

  Other than that, I'll need 50 extra large iron pans, 50 pots as big as a wash basin and a hundred hoes." [1]

  He ran through the list of items briefly in his mind before saying. "That's all for now, If there's anything else I need, I'll call you again."

  "Yes, Boss. I'll go over immediately after I've gathered everything!"

  Mystic Four replied with great respect. Only when the 'du, du……' sound came from the phone did he finally manage to breath properly.

  He didn't dare to ask what the boss needed those items for. No matter what the matter was, it was not something he should concern himself with. He just needed to finish the task which he had been assigned!

  Mystic Four immediately ran off to inform the others. The entire Bei Feng's Guards was stirred into action in the blink of an eye. In just an hour, everything that was listed had been gathered!

  A horde of large trucks filled with tables and stools together with tens of minivans——each one costing around 30-40 thousand yuan——left for Qing Ling Village. Each of the minivans was filled with numerous tough and muscular gangsters!

  Bei Feng lay back onto his recliner and sipped lightly on a cup of mountain wild tea. Although the tea tasted rather puckery, he was still rather immersed in the taste.

  Actually, with his current financial capabilities, Bei Feng did not need to continue running the private restaurant business.

  However, the restaurant was one of his secret joys. If he abandoned it, wouldn't this dull and dry life become even more uninteresting?
