The moment he saw the old man, He Tong took a step back, hugged his fists and said, "I'm not trespassing, I'm just here to register."
"Really? Why do I think your attitude is to trespass?" The old man squinted at He Tong.
"Mr. Lu, I'll take my leave first." At this moment, Daolin walked out of the office and hugged the old man.
"Ping'er, go see off the chef. Remember to arrange everything, otherwise you will be punished when you come back." The old man said in a deep voice.
Lu Ping nodded and replied, "Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely make arrangements."
"Okay, go ahead, go ahead, I still have to deal with these two guys who want to break into my office." The old man looked at He Tong and said.
Daolin nodded, and under the leadership of Lu Ping, the two left the office.
There was a faint smell of gunpowder at the door of the office.
"You're going to register, right? Come in." The old man said, then turned and walked into the office.
He Tong and the emperor's eunuch looked at each other and then followed in.
On the other side, Lu Ping was accompanying Daolin to the restaurant where he lived.
"Your Lu family is a big family in the Linyuan Empire, right?" Daolin asked.
"It's just average. It can only be regarded as above average, and there is still a gap between it and those real big families." Lu Ping shook his head and said.
Daolin nodded. If the Lu family has a half-emperor, it can only be considered above average. How strong are those big families?
However, Daolin didn't need to worry about this. The main reason was that he no longer cared about the powerful Half-Emperors, and the only one in the entire Linyuan Empire who could compete with him was the Roshan King.
Soon they returned to the restaurant.
"Chef Dao has good taste. Ting Shui Xuan is one of the best restaurants in Kuahai City, and the environment here is worthy of you." Lu Ping said with a smile.
"Okay, I'm already here, and Deacon Lu can go back." Daolin smiled and nodded.
"I'm here to settle the bill. This is our rule." Lu Ping said and went upstairs ahead of Daolin.
Arriving on the first floor, Lu Ping went straight to the counter.
The shopkeeper obviously knew Lu Ping, and he quickly greeted him respectfully.
"Deacon Lu's visit has made the shop shine." The shopkeeper complimented.
"Do you know the purpose of my coming?" Lu Ping asked.
"Of course I know that the chef has never revealed his identity to me before, so he was negligent. But don't worry, Deacon Lu, I will definitely take care of these guys." As the shopkeeper said, he clasped his fists and saluted Dolin behind him. .
Dorian looked at the two of them puzzled.
Lu Ping flicked his wrist, and there was a banknote in his hand. He handed the banknote to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper took it with a smile on his face, without any hesitation.
Dolin was even more puzzled. Generally, people from above would not accept money from those below. After all, human nature is the way of the world, but this one gave it happily and the other one accepted it unambiguously. This was wrong.
"Chef Dao, don't be confused. This is the rule of Kuahai City. All restaurants where contestants stay will be paid by the office." Seeing Daolin's confusion, Lu Ping explained with a smile.
"Is there such a thing?" Dorian asked.
"Of course, just like I asked you in the office just now, which town do you think is the best during the trip and which town satisfies you the most? That town will also get corresponding benefits. For example, both you and your father are right If Wuliang City shows favor, then they will get double the benefits." Lu Ping nodded.
"I see. From this point of view, Linyuan Empire is indeed somewhat unique." Daolin nodded in praise. He was still very optimistic about this approach.
"From now on, this Tingshui Pavilion will only be open to you and your group until the game is over and you leave." The shopkeeper said to Daolin.
Daolin was stunned when he heard this. How much does it cost? All the money comes from the office.
"Originally, we have prepared a place for you and other contestants to stay. Of course, you can also choose your own.
So, all the expenses are paid by us. Lu Ping said with a smile.
Dorian nodded his thanks.
"Then I won't disturb your rest. I'll go back to the office if I have anything else to do. If you need anything, just give him instructions." Lu Ping pointed directly at the shopkeeper and said.
The shopkeeper also nodded repeatedly.
Daolin sent Lu Ping out of Tingshui Xuan and then returned directly to his floor. He told everyone what happened.
"I didn't expect that the Linyuan Empire would be so good." Chu Xiyun praised.
He can be regarded as having served in the Lieyang Empire, and he still has some understanding of the empire's governance.
"Yes, I saw exactly twenty thousand taels just now." Dolin said with a smile.
"Every place has its own characteristics. They followed the wishes of the Roshan King and paid special attention to the Master of Cooking competition, so people think this is good." Chu Wan'er concluded.
"My sister is right, our Lieyang Empire should also hold some continent-wide competitions to attract the attention of the continent." Chu Xiyun said.
"Okay, this is not easy. Uncle, why don't you just go back and think about it and tell the emperor directly." Daolin said.
"That depends on what is being held. It would be pointless to hold a Master of Cooking competition." Chu Xiyun said.
"Uncle, don't you think the tourney is interesting?"
Dorian's words attracted everyone's attention. A martial arts competition? Gathering the strongest men from all over the continent together to differentiate themselves, this will definitely attract the competitive spirit of all warriors.
"This is indeed a good idea, this is indeed a good idea..." Chu Xiyun murmured.
"Uncle, we'll talk about this later. I'm just making a start. There are still many things to do in the future. There's no hurry." Daolin said. He could see that Chu Xiyun was a little over the top.
"Yes, yes...I'm anxious..." Chu Xiyun nodded and said.
"Okay, now that everyone is settled, all that's left is for the game to start. During this time, everyone can play freely. I'm going to retreat for a while." Dowling said.
Everyone nodded. They had seen the prosperity of Cross-sea City before coming, and they definitely wanted to take a look around.
Dolin flicked his wrist, and there were a lot of banknotes in his hand. He put the banknotes on the table and said, "Everyone, take this money and go around it. If you don't have enough, tell me."
"Your money is more than the room fee, right?" Dao Wuji said in pain.
"Money is an external thing. We don't need money. We can spend it when we need to and buy something we like." Dolin said with a smile.
"Brother Qiu, take it first!" Daolin said.
The enemy brothers didn't do anything. Daolin directly picked up the banknotes and stuffed them into their hands. The enemy brothers had been following him all these years. It was time for him to give others some benefits. He learned this from the Linyuan Empire.
