18: Congratulations to the host for achieving this achievement
While driving, Chen Xiangbei called his roommate Li An and asked him to come out for dinner.
Unfortunately, Li An was incredibly busy, so Chen Xiangbei had to eat alone and enjoy the joy by himself.
After driving for half an hour, he arrived at the International Trade Center. Today, he was going to have a super satisfying meal.
He drove into the parking lot. Since it was dinner time, there was a lot of traffic.
Therefore, there were also many drivers, and he had to circle several times before finding a parking spot.
After parking the car, he covered the back of the truck with a waterproof canvas. Although the few boxes weren't worth much, it was still necessary to cover them.
He took the elevator up to the 88th floor, which was the dining area. After looking at the floor directory, he found the restaurant he was going to eat at today.
After walking for about five minutes, he arrived at a high-end seafood buffet restaurant.
After some communication with the waiter, he paid 888 yuan and then walked into the buffet restaurant.
Upon entering, he saw a huge seafood tank with many fish swimming inside.
Chen Xiangbei walked further in and found a two-person table, which was the smallest table in the restaurant.
He motioned for the waiter to bring tableware. There were two cooking methods here.
One was food prepared by the restaurant's chefs, and the other was a small grill and cooking tool provided for you to cook yourself.
The seafood here was generally freshly killed and relatively fresh, so Chen Xiangbei preferred to take ingredients himself and cook them.
It wasn't that the food made by the chefs wasn't delicious, but he couldn't quite accept that they might be using ingredients left over by others.
Once the tableware was ready, Chen Xiangbei first went to the sauce area to mix a few bowls of dipping sauces with different flavors. After putting them back on the table, he went to the food area to get food.
As soon as he arrived at the food area, he saw a chef disassembling a large king crab, and people were already queuing up.
Seeing this, he quickly went to the end of the line and joined the queue.
Before long, it was his turn to get food. He looked at the king crab and lobsters placed on the chilled table.
Chen Xiangbei decisively took several large crab legs and a lobster, asking the Master to help him remove the lobster meat.
Then he returned to his table and put the king crab legs into the pot to cook.
He placed the lobster meat on the grill pan to cook, poured a little cooking oil and soy sauce, and added some salt and minced garlic.
Under the high heat of the grill, the texture of the meat changed, and the aroma spread out.
Three minutes later, the lobster was cooked first. He picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.
Mmm~ The meat was tender and delicate, juicy, melting in his mouth with an endless aftertaste.
There wasn't much lobster meat, and he finished it in a few bites.
At this time, the king crab was also cooked. He took it out and put it in ice water to cool down, used scissors to cut an opening at both ends of the crab legs, and then used chopsticks to push out all the crab meat.
Chen Xiangbei didn't like to use too much dipping sauce when eating crab; dipping a little soy sauce was enough, as soy sauce could enhance the flavor.
There weren't many crab legs, and he finished them quickly. Then he went back to the food area to 'restock'.
Scarlet prawns, spot prawns, abalone, Little Green Dragon, leopard coral grouper, salmon, foie gras caviar...
He didn't know how many times he went back and forth, only that he went to get more when he finished eating, and even when he hadn't finished.
The plates and bowls piled on the table were almost overflowing, and the diners at the neighboring tables looked at him in shock.
Each time the waiter passed by, they looked more surprised than the last, because the stack of plates got higher every so often.
After filling up on meat, Chen Xiangbei started walking towards the drinks and dessert area, to rinse his mouth, right!
Arriving at the drinks and dessert area, he first ordered two Haagen-Dazs ice creams with five scoops each, and then a glass of special blend lemonade. Since he was driving, he didn't drink alcohol.
He tasted various special blend juices. Now he was truly full; eating any more would make him vomit.
He was very satisfied with this meal.
He went to the window and looked out at the entire city. As the evening lights came on, the brilliant lights illuminated the night sky of the city.
If Linhai was a busy city during the day, then Linhai at night was a quiet, romantic, and beautiful city.
...
At 9 PM, Chen Xiangbei returned to his rented room, bringing back the two smaller fish boxes. The larger one remained in the car.
He brought them back to clean them thoroughly, otherwise, the lingering fishy smell would become ingrained over time.
After washing up and lying in bed, he checked his phone messages and found several messages from Li An.
An Zi: I was busy delivering goods just now.
An Zi: My dad saw I was too idle at the store and increased my workload (crying).
An Zi: Did you get rich recently? Why did you suddenly think of treating me to dinner?
Chen Xiangbei replied to him.
Gu Bei: I won the lottery today and made a little fortune. I was thinking of having a big meal to celebrate, but unfortunately, you kid had no luck to enjoy it.
Gu Bei: By the way, I've transferred the money I borrowed from you. I'm not short of money now, bro.
Gu Bei: Transfer 5000 yuan, please check.
He waited for a while but didn't see Li An reply, so he simply went to roam thecanyon (Canyon - likely a game).
At 12 AM, Chen Xiangbei was already empty-minded, waiting for the System's prompt sound.
【Ding, System settlement begins: Host's income today +6200, average hourly wage 1033+, System reward amount +43400, physique +0.02, settlement points +800, please continue to work hard!】
【Ding, congratulations to the Host for completing the hidden achievement (Daily Income Exceeds Ten Thousand), rewarding the Host with Advanced Driving Technique, please continue to work hard!】
"【Bank Card Number 4539】received 43400 yuan at 00:01, balance 53433.79 yuan."
"Uh... Tong Zi Ge, I can already drive, what's the point of giving me driving technique? Isn't that a waste?" Chen Xiangbei said, looking at this seemingly useless skill.
【Ding, Advanced Driving Technique: Includes driving techniques for all civilian land, sea, and air vehicles. Please explore the details yourself, Host.】
"Holy crap! That's awesome, so if I fuse it, won't I become an amphibious person?" Chen Xiangbei exclaimed in surprise.
"Tong Zi Ge, quickly... quickly help me fuse the skill."
【Ding, fusing Advanced Driving Technique...】
【Ding, congratulations to the Host on successful fusion.】
"Buzz, buzz, buzz," suddenly, his mind surged, and some driving techniques for civilian vehicles such as cars, boats, and airplanes were being imprinted.
After about 10 minutes, the imprinting was finally complete, and his head felt a bit swollen.
Advanced Driving Technique included many types of vehicles.
Skills like driving included cars, tractors, harvesters, and some special vehicles.
Boats included driving techniques for rowboats, sailboats, motorized boats, etc.
Airplanes included techniques for operating civil aircraft, civilian helicopters, civilian drones, etc.
He was a true civilian expert now. Although he could only operate cars for now, who knew about the future.
As time went on, the System's income would get higher and higher.
With money in his pocket, luxury cars, yachts, helicopters, what kind of vehicle couldn't he buy?
【Ding, congratulations to the Host for breaking through a thinking impasse and profoundly feeling the System's power, achieving the hidden achievement (Long-Term Vision), rewarding the Host with 200g of gold bars. The item has been sent to the temporary System space, please check, Host.】
"What! I just fantasized a bit and completed a hidden achievement? This is too awesome."
It seems thinking about problems can also lead to sudden wealth, Chen Xiangbei said excitedly.
