Chapter 86
: The Most "Great" Dragon King
..........................................
A steamed bun shop in City A.
Looking at the steamer piled up in front of him, its height almost blocking his view.
Lin Zhiying finally understood. It turned out that there was a typo on the panel. It wasn't "great" at all, it should have been "big stomach"!
He only ate two baskets himself; the remaining twenty baskets were all the result of the girl in front of him.
Xia Mi noticed Lin Zhiying's gaze, quickly took the last bun from the steamer in front of her, and stuffed it into her mouth.
Seeing this, Lin Zhiying was very puzzled. How could a fist-sized bun be stuffed into her cherry-like mouth so quickly?
As Xia Mi chewed, she carefully observed Lin Zhiying.
I think I ate a little too much?
"Are you full?"
Seeing Xia Mi reluctantly swallow the last bite of her steamed bun, Lin Zhiying asked.
"I'm...I'm full."
Xia Mi licked the remaining oil stains from the corner of her mouth.
"I get it, that means you're not full."
Lin Zhiying raised his hand and said, "Boss, five more baskets, please."
Upon hearing this, Xia Mi immediately grabbed his hand.
"Too much?"
Lin Zhiying asked in confusion.
"Well, actually... it's too little..."
“…………”
Lin Zhiying was speechless.
Wait, is this person in front of me really the Dragon King, or a glutton?
"Eight cages, just eight more cages at the end."
Xia Mi gritted her teeth, looking as if she had made up her mind.
There's no way around it, making money in the human world is just too difficult.
You should know that right now, she's pretending to be a beautiful high school girl.
Not to mention the Dragon King's strength, she couldn't even directly reveal that she was a half-blood.
Otherwise, like Chu Zihang, the difficulty of joining Kassel College will increase dramatically.
She usually only has time to do a little bit of odd jobs during winter and summer vacations, and even then, she still has to take time out from time to time to monitor the people she has marked.
She hadn't eaten this much in a long time.
"Freshly steamed buns, here they come!"
The middle-aged boss walked over carrying eight baskets of steamed buns.
Upon seeing the boss appear, Xia Mi immediately pointed at Lin Zhiying and said:
"He ate it all; he's a sports student."
Now Lin Zhiying understood why Xia Mi had pushed the steamer in front of him.
He smiled and nodded at the boss.
Yes, yes, I ate them all; that's how we physical education students are.
After the shop owner left, Xia Mi quietly opened the steamer, and without caring that the freshly steamed buns were scalding hot, quickly grabbed one and popped it into her mouth.
Her gaze darted away, avoiding Lin Zhiying's eyes, and she mumbled indistinctly:
"This is... part of the plan..."
"It's all for the sake of disguise."
Lin Zhiying rolled her eyes and silently walked to the front desk to pay the bill.
"Thank you for your patronage. Let me round it down to 480 yuan."
The middle-aged owner was all smiles and very enthusiastic; their table alone had generated half a day's revenue.
Lin Zhiying transferred the money, thought for a moment, and said, "Please issue an invoice."
In just a short while, when he returned to the table, only one basket of steamed buns remained out of the eight baskets that had just been served.
Xia Mi is wrestling with the last basket of steamed buns.
Lin Zhiying pushed the invoice in front of her and slowly said, "Please reimburse me, Your Majesty."
"Oh, right, there's also the operational budget for this month."
Xia Mi, with half a bun in her mouth, looked up in confusion. What reimbursement? Shouldn't you be paying?
And what's with the operation funds?
Lin Zhiying sat down and silently held up one finger: "We discussed work over this meal, didn't we?"
Xia Mi chewed on her steamed bun and nodded.
"Since we're talking about work, how about a company team-building activity? Even though there are only two of us at the moment, it's reasonable for the company to pay for it, right?"
"What company? What team building?" Xia Mi blinked her bright eyes. She felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Lin Zhiying and nodded subconsciously.
Seeing this, Lin Zhiying revealed a sly smile of triumph, "Since that's the case, then pay up, after all, you are the queen."
"As for the operating expenses, monitoring Chu Zihang and joining Kassel College all require money. If you calculate it, 50,000 a month is not too much."
Lin Zhiying did some calculations and then waved his hand in front of her.
fifty thousand?!
Why is it so expensive?
If I had money, would I need to eat cheap bread every day?
Upon hearing the number, Xia Mi nearly spat out her steamed bun, but she couldn't bear to, so she forced it down.
"Hey, why should I give you money, you despicable servant? Don't even think about deceiving me! Humph, you humans are the most cunning of all!"
Xia Mi's mouth was open, and she said angrily.
"Tsk, no money? That's putting me in a difficult position."
As Lin Zhiying spoke, she lay back.
"It seems I need to consider the issue of my own loyalty."
"As the saying goes, 'A good bird chooses a good tree to perch on, and a good minister chooses a good lord to serve.' What do you think would happen if I took your message to Odin?"
"Given my status as a Dragon King, I believe He will accept my service without holding a grudge."
Upon hearing this, Xia Mi's eyes immediately turned cold, all the clarity in them vanished, and she stared at Lin Zhiying with icy eyes.
"You can give it a try."
Lin Zhiying sat up straight again, the chair creaking as it scraped against the floor. "Is it a deal?"
“…………”
"No, no, no, I'll give it to you, okay?"
Xia Mi glared fiercely at the guy in front of her, gritted her teeth, and said, word by word.
Lin Zhiying breathed a sigh of relief; he knew he had made the right bet.
The Dragon Pact may seem unequal, but it does actually impose constraints on Jormungandr.
Firstly, there are the sunk costs He has invested.
Secondly, the two are bound together by the Dragon Contract, their "fate" is now deeply intertwined.
Although he couldn't use the contract himself, Lin Zhiying wanted "Odin" to cooperate with him.
Finding "Jormungandr" shouldn't be too difficult using the [Dragon's Pact] on you.
If I remember correctly, dragons are also included in dragon-related food.
Judging from Xia Mi's reaction, his guess was correct.
"But I don't have any money."
Xia Mi stuffed the last bite of the bun into her mouth, patted her slightly protruding belly, and acted like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water.
"Then I'll go and 'abandon darkness for light' right now!"
"Overthrow Jormungandr, and the Earth will belong to Odin."
Lin Zhiying shouted slogans without any psychological burden.
No, you didn't even change the words, did you!
Xia Mi's body trembled slightly; she was furious at the shameless scoundrel in front of her!
"I don't have money, but I'll make it up to you with something else!"
"Hiss," Lin Zhiying looked Xia Mi up and down, licking his lips. "Such a good thing?!"
