60: Chapter 60 A Generous School

As Fang Chuan and his two companions just walked out of the main control hall, before they could even discuss where to celebrate, a familiar yet unfamiliar figure approached them with a beaming smile.

"Student Fang Chuan, Student Zhang Chao, Student Liu Ruyan! Congratulations, truly, congratulations to you all!"

The person who arrived was none other than the Dean, who usually kept a straight face and whom students had to steer clear of whenever they saw him.

At this moment, his stern, square-shaped face was forced into a brilliant, chrysanthemum-like smile, and the wrinkles on his face carried a hint of fawning.

Zhang Chao and Liu Ruyan exchanged a glance, both seeing a sense of discomfort in each other's eyes.

"Hello, Dean." Fang Chuan greeted him quite naturally.

"Ah, good, good! Student Fang Chuan, you have truly brought glory to our school and to the entire Qinghe City this time!" The Dean's voice was loud and his enthusiasm was a bit over the top. "By the way, I heard the three of you are going out to celebrate with a meal? That's perfect, I just finished dealing with my work. Why don't I give you three a ride?"

Zhang Chao was just about to refuse, saying they could just take a taxi, but was stopped by a look from Fang Chuan.

"Then we will trouble you, Dean." Fang Chuan said with a smile.

"No trouble, no trouble at all! It is my honor to serve the rising stars of our school!" The Dean smiled even more happily and hurried to lead the way.

The three of them followed the Dean to the parking lot, where a sleek, jet-black private luxury flying car was hovering quietly.

Zhang Chao had only seen this model of flying car in top-tier military magazines; it was said to cost up to eight figures in Faith Points, and it was priceless, with no market availability, as ordinary people had no channels to purchase one.

"Holy crap..." Zhang Chao couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice. "Old Fang, is this Dean too rich? How can he afford to drive this kind of car?"

"This car isn't his," Liu Ruyan reminded him softly from the side. "Look at the license plate; it's a dedicated vehicle for the School Board."

Zhang Chao then noticed the special license plate and immediately understood.

It seemed the principal had arranged it specifically.

The Dean personally opened the car door for the three of them, his fawning attitude giving Zhang Chao and Liu Ruyan goosebumps all over.

"Please, everyone, get in. I have already booked a private room at the top-tier 'Shanhai Tower' in Qinghe City, guaranteeing you all will have a great time!"

The flying car slowly lifted off, so smoothly that one couldn't feel a single bump.

The interior space was vast, and the seats were made of the fur of an unknown divine creature, soft and comfortable to sit on, as if one were sinking into them.

The Dean sat in the passenger seat, turning his head from time to time to find topics to chat with Fang Chuan about, from his heroic performance in the joint examination to his future development plans, his words full of flattery and obsequiousness.

"Student Fang Chuan, you really were hiding your true strength this time; you've shocked everyone! Thinking back, I was worried about your F- Divine Kingdom rating. Now it seems I was just old and blind, failing to recognize a true mountain!" The Dean self-deprecatingly lamented with a sigh.

Fang Chuan just smiled and didn't say much.

He knew clearly in his heart that this sudden shift from arrogance to obsequiousness was simply because he had demonstrated enough strength and value.

If he were still that poor student with an F- Divine Kingdom today, let alone riding in this multi-million-level flying car, he probably wouldn't even get a glance from the Dean.

This was reality.

The flying car soon arrived at Shanhai Tower.

"Dean, you can drop us off here; we can go in ourselves." Fang Chuan said.

"Ah, how could that be? I have already made the arrangements." The Dean insisted on escorting the three of them to the door of the private room, then said respectfully, "Student Fang Chuan, please enjoy your meal. All expenses for tonight will be fully covered by the school."

"After you finish eating, someone will come to take you away; the school has already arranged your accommodations."

After speaking, he winked at Fang Chuan, lowered his voice, and added in a volume that only the three of them could hear: "Also, the principal has arranged for three true Divine-level powerhouses to protect you from the shadows outside the restaurant, ensuring your safety is absolutely foolproof. You can rest assured."

Having said that, the Dean turned and left, looking satisfied.

Zhang Chao and Liu Ruyan were dumbfounded.

Divine-level powerhouses!

Those were existences that had already ignited their Divine Fire and established a true Divine Kingdom! In the entire Qinghe City, they could be considered top-tier big shots.

And now, they were actually sent to be their bodyguards?

This level of prestige was just too much!

"Old Fang, I finally understand what privilege means now." Zhang Chao patted Fang Chuan's shoulder with a sigh.

Fang Chuan smiled and pushed open the door to the private room: "Let's go in and see; you must be hungry by now."

The luxury inside the private room once again refreshed Zhang Chao and Liu Ruyan's perception.

The entire room seemed to be carved from crystal, with faint colorful halos flowing on the walls. Underfoot was white flooring as warm and smooth as jade, which felt as soft and light as a cloud when stepped on—it was actually paved with a single, rare piece of Cloud Dream Mirage Beast skin.

Through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, one could overlook the night view of the entire Qinghe City, with thousands of lights shining as brilliantly as a galaxy.

"Wow... how much does it cost to eat a meal here?" Zhang Chao smacked his lips, feeling like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

Fang Chuan jokingly scolded: "It's not like you haven't been here before; didn't you eat here with your aunt and uncle just over ten days ago?"

Zhang Chao hurriedly shook his head: "That's not the same! This is the Sky Garden of Shanhai Tower; we ate on the ground floor that time!"

Soon, a waitress wearing a qipao with a graceful figure walked in, carrying a thick menu.

"Good evening, distinguished guests. This is our menu; please take a look."

Zhang Chao and Liu Ruyan had previously been shouting about eating Fang Chuan into bankruptcy, but when they took the menu and saw the string of zeros on it, they immediately wilted.

"Steamed Dragon Carp, 888 Faith Points per serving..."

"Stir-fried Phoenix Tail Shrimp, 1288 Faith Points per serving..."

"Divine Blood Soup, 1888 Faith Points per bowl..."

This was just the first page; flipping further, every price listed for each dish was no lower than five figures.

"Ahem," Zhang Chao coughed awkwardly and pushed the menu in front of Liu Ruyan: "Ladies first; Ruyan, you order first."

Liu Ruyan's pretty face flushed slightly. She quickly flipped to the last page of the menu, pointed to a few low-level spiritual vegetables that only cost two figures, and whispered: "I... I'll just order the Stir-fried Green Stalk Vegetable and a Red Feather Egg."

Zhang Chao also quickly chimed in: "Yes, yes, yes, eating too much meat and fish is greasy; home-style dishes are better for the stomach. I'll have the same."

After speaking, both of them lowered their heads in embarrassment.

They knew someone was treating them to this meal, but their long-ingrained spending habits made it impossible for them to order those exorbitant dishes with peace of mind.

Fang Chuan took the menu.

He didn't even look at it and said directly to the waitress: "Give me one of all your signature dishes here, prepared for three people."

The waitress smiled and nodded: "Very well, Mr. Fang. Do you need any drinks? Our Shanhai Tower's Phoenix Cry Sunset Dew is our shop's treasure. The gentleman from earlier said that whether you ordered it or not, he hoped you would try it."

Fang Chuan nodded.

One serving of Phoenix Cry Sunset Dew cost 28,888 Faith Points. Although it was a bit expensive, it was worth more than its price. It was a treasure with miraculous effects even for gods, capable of subtly improving a Divine Lord's physique.

Although the effect was not as good as the Vermilion Fruit Fang Chuan had obtained before, it was still a rare treasure that even ordinary demigods might not be willing to drink.

"Then make it two servings per person. Also, add some home-style dishes; my friends like them," Fang Chuan said calmly.

The waitress bowed and exited.

Zhang Chao felt a bit of heartache; this meal would cost at least tens of thousands of Faith Points.

Fang Chuan poured tea for the two of them and said with a smile: "The school is treating us today, so just eat freely and don't think too much. There will be plenty of such occasions in the future; you need to get used to it in advance."

Soon, exquisite dishes were brought up one after another.

Every dish exuded a rich aura of divinity. Just smelling the aroma made one's appetite soar, and the divine power within their bodies began to stir.

"Don't just sit there, eat." Fang Chuan was the first to pick up a piece of crystal-clear Dragon Carp meat and put it into his mouth.

The meat was tender and melted in his mouth. A surge of pure energy slid down his throat into his abdomen, instantly spreading to his limbs and bones, making him feel so comfortable he almost groaned aloud.

As expected of a top-tier restaurant; this money was well spent!

Seeing this, Zhang Chao and Liu Ruyan no longer stood on ceremony and began to feast.

It was their first time eating such delicious food; with every bite, they could clearly feel their strength slowly increasing.

For a while, only the sounds of chewing and exclamations of praise remained in the private room.

The atmosphere gradually became lively.

Fang Chuan checked the time; it was still early, and there would be plenty of time to choose Hextech after the meal.
