483: Chapter 483 Treating Guests to Dinner

Nie Ning pointed at the 'Taixu Annihilation Blade' on the tablet, which was followed by three large question marks.

Although Nie Ning had no requirements for techniques, and it didn't even matter whether he learned them or not, anyone would feel curious upon seeing such a technique with no introduction and only question marks.

"This technique was excavated from a ruin. Its power is extremely formidable, and it is a technique that Transcendents of all classes can use. However, it has strict requirements for one's energy purity and physical strength."

"If cast by force, at best, one's battle seed and magic source will be destroyed, and at worst, even their soul will be turned to ashes. Therefore, it is recommended that you do not choose this technique."

After seeing the two techniques already selected on the screen, Receptionist Miss's tone clearly grew much flatter, even carrying a hint of impatience.

If it weren't for the fact that this technique's backlash was too strong and Extreme Phase Demon Palace required them to sign a danger disclaimer to absolve themselves of liability, she wouldn't even have bothered talking to Nie Ning.

Nie Ning didn't care about Receptionist Miss's tone, but looked at this technique thoughtfully.

People are always like this; once they are full, they want to do some neurotic things.

He really had no requirements for techniques. He could just buy some exotic beasts to nourish himself once he had money later, and then he could have whatever he wanted.

But driven by intense curiosity, Nie Ning felt that since this technique was so mysterious, even if it were feces, he would have to taste how salty it was.

Anyway, if it's useless, he just won't use it. What was there to complain about when it came to free things?

Immediately after, Nie Ning selected another technique and handed the tablet back.

"Apologies, the Taixu Annihilation Blade was not originally a free technique. It's just that no one has ever learned it, which is why it was placed in here."

"We can offer you two options. One is to purchase it by spending an additional 500 contribution points."

Before Receptionist Miss could finish her sentence, as soon as Nie Ning heard it would cost money, he instantly lost interest.

'A broken toy and it still costs money, and 500 contribution points at that! Even robbing someone wouldn't be this fast!'

Seeing the look of disdain in Nie Ning's eyes, Receptionist Miss went on to explain the other option on her own.

"You can give up on choosing the other technique, and that way, I can give you this technique in accordance with Extreme Phase Demon Palace's promotional policy."

Nie Ning's eyes lit up: "That works. Then I won't take the other technique."

His time was limited; selecting techniques was just going through the motions, and whether he would even practice them was a question.

Now that he could exchange it for the Taixu Annihilation Blade, why would he want any other useless spells?

Receptionist Miss didn't waste any words and retrieved three white crystals from the storage warehouse in the back.

"These are one-time inheritance stones. Taking them out of Extreme Phase Demon Palace's territory will trigger an alarm, so please do not attempt to do so."

Hearing this, Nie Ning nodded.

After all, it was a major power; it was only natural to be a bit cautious.

Moreover, this was only on the surface. In reality, there were also restrictions inside the inheritance stones that prevented external transmission, preventing the sect's techniques from being leaked.

This had no impact on Nie Ning. As long as they weren't the kind of restrictions that came with too many constraints, it would be fine.

Nie Ning put away the inheritance stones, glanced at the sky outside, and then looked at Receptionist Miss: "Beautiful, do you have some time? How about doing me the honor of having a meal at the newly opened restaurant?"

Receptionist Miss looked at Nie Ning. She wanted to refuse, but she did indeed want to go check out the newly opened restaurant.

However, she heard that the prices there were very expensive. If a sucker could take her there, wouldn't she save that money?

Thinking of this, Receptionist Miss spoke: "If you don't mind waiting a bit."

Nie Ning smiled slightly.

"I don't mind. I have nothing to do today anyway."

...

Because Extreme Phase Demon Palace had a lunch break policy, Receptionist Miss got off work after waiting for over ten minutes.

Immediately after, Nie Ning took Receptionist Miss, planning to chat about life in the restaurant while also getting to know the environmental layout of Extreme Phase Demon Palace.

Although the probability of completing the divine quest was not high, what if?

After all, everyone has a hopeful mindset; it just depended on whether his luck was really that good.

Soon, the two of them entered the restaurant.

The place was bustling with noise and filled with a rich aroma, with many people sitting inside eating and chatting.

Nie Ning walked over to an empty table and sat down. Soon, a waiter walked over with a menu.

Taking the menu and looking at it, the prices of the dishes on it were simply outrageous. Nie Ning's lips couldn't help but twitch slightly as he looked.

'What kind of bullshit is this? They dare to ask for 3 contribution points for a single soup?!'

The purchasing power of one contribution point far exceeded a high-grade magic crystal. How dare they charge so much for a single dish? Was it gold-plated?

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that Nie Ning's expression wasn't right, Receptionist Miss knew what he was thinking.

But she couldn't possibly be the one paying, right?

In that case, she might as well invite the handsome guy next door to eat together.

"Nothing, it's just a bit hot in here. Order whatever you want to eat."

Nie Ning wiped the sweat from his forehead and handed the menu to Receptionist Miss, pretending to be generous.

He would just have to spend a bit. If he could get some inside information, it wouldn't be too much of a loss. At worst, when his strength grew in the future, he would come back and wipe out this entire restaurant.

Fortunately, Receptionist Miss had some self-awareness and stopped after ordering only 10 contribution points' worth of dishes.

Although Nie Ning's heart was bleeding, he still appeared generous on the surface, even ordering two more dishes for this reason so that he wouldn't look so embarrassed.

Following that, Nie Ning began to chat with Receptionist Miss, taking the opportunity to fish for information about Extreme Phase Demon Palace.

And while the two of them chatted idly, for some reason, Nie Ning had an ominous premonition.

Nie Ning looked around but didn't find any issues.

Moreover, this was a legitimate establishment and Extreme Phase Demon Palace's official territory. Just the defensive barrier here was not something ordinary Transcendents could easily break through.

In the end, Nie Ning could only attribute it to the high pressure lately, which had caused his mind to play tricks on him.

After waiting for a moment, the delicacies were served one by one.

"It smells so good."

Receptionist Miss took a sniff, feeling as if her soul had been purified.

It seemed that for the owner to open a restaurant here, they not only had a powerful background but indeed had some real skill.

"Why are you spacing out?"

Seeing Nie Ning staring blankly at the food, Receptionist Miss asked in confusion.

Although this kind of gourmet food was indeed very tempting, it was not enough to make a fifth-rank Transcedent lose his mind.

But as Nie Ning stared at the food before him, he only felt a chill run down his spine.

Familiar, it was simply too familiar—it was no different from the food he usually ate!

And in the corner of Nie Ning's eye, those exceptionally familiar legs made him feel panicked.

"We won't be ordering any more dishes. You can go about your work."

Receptionist Miss looked at the waitress standing behind Nie Ning, frowned slightly, and said softly.

She found it even more strange in her heart: why would such a beautiful woman come to a place like this to work as a waitress? Was the job market so tough nowadays?
