After looking at the long golden thing in her chopsticks for a bit, she suddenly turned to Lin Fan with a questioning look.

But before Lin Fan could say anything, the other mercenaries couldn't help asking something.

They had already been watching Tian Tian since they were curious about the special set meal. After all, this was a meal that was more expensive than everything they had eaten before, they wanted to know why it was a "special" set meal.

One of them asked, "Shrimp? What is that?"

Tian Tian was still looking at the fried shrimp in her chopsticks as she said, "It's a special kind of creature that lives in the ocean. It's a specialty that can usually only be eaten by the sea, but in this place.."

She didn't finish her words, but there was no need for her to finish them since they understood what she meant.

The town that they were currently in was wrapped up between the edge of the empire and the wilderness, but while it was on the edge of the empire, it was still right in the middle of the continent. It was far away from anything that could be considered a large body of water, let alone an ocean.

So where had Lin Fan gotten this shrimp from?

Tian Tian couldn't help turning her eyes to Lin Fan with a questioning look.

Lin Fan just gave a shrug and said, "I have my connections."

Tian Tian clearly wanted to keep asking, but since Lin Fan wasn't willing to tell her anything, she had to respect this. Not just because she was in love with him, but also because this was something that was considered professional.

Those that were running a business all had their business secrets and it was considered malicious business strategy if they looked into these secrets, so naturally she had to consider the Mercenary Guild's reputation and leave it at this.

But it really did eat at her mind since she couldn't figure out how he had done it..

Finally, there were only the two last items left on her plate.

Compared to the rest, the yellow sticks didn't seem that great, but it was still delicious. It was clear that it was the backbone of the set meal and was to be eaten with the rest of it, but she had already finished everything else, so she could only eat it alone.

Of course, the red sauce that also came with it really gave it quite the flavour.

Then there was finally the yellow and brown thing in the cup.

She had known that it was dessert because of the sweet smell that came from it, so she had saved it for last.

When she took the first scoop of it, she felt the overwhelming sweetness filling her mouth. This was a sweetness that she had never tasted before, but it wasn't a bad strong taste that completely overpowered her taste buds.

It was a powerful sweetness that woke up every one of her taste buds, giving her a feeling that she was finally understanding what sweetness really was.

However, the second spoonful wasn't as sweet as before. It was still sweet, but there wasn't that same strong sweetness to it. There was even a faint bitterness to it that helped enhance the sweetness of this soft yellow thing.

It was a perfect way to end this meal.

After she was finished, Tian Tian couldn't help looking at the empty plate in front of her with an empty look.

She felt that she had finished it too fast and she still wanted more.

Lin Fan saw the look on her face and said, "You can just order more, you know?"

Tian Tian's eyes immediately lit up and she said, "Un, give me another set meal."

The other mercenaries had almost started drooling as they watched her eat, so they immediately also ordered the same meal when they were offered the chance now.

It didn't take long before Duanmu Ming Yue came back with the meals. It was so short that it almost seemed like it was impossible that she cooked these meals in such a short time.

Of course, she didn't actually cook it.

Lin Fan had a satisfied look on his face when he saw how they were all enjoying these special set meals and he had a good feeling about future business.

When he had been building the dungeon and this dungeon town, Lin Fan hadn't just focused on improving the dungeon. He had also bought some things from the store that could be used to improve the town and this inn.

Take the special set meals for example.

He had bought a meal making machine that would allow him to quickly make delicious meals.historical

Naturally, the meals that were provided by the machine were meals from Earth.

The Special Set Meal A was just marked as Kid's Meal on the meal making machine. Special Set Meal B was a Hamburg Steak Meal, Special Set Meal C was a Curry Rice Meal, Special Set Meal D was an Omurice Meal.

It seemed that the Dungeon Master System's store really liked to draw from Japanese culture for some reason..

But Lin Fan didn't mind since he felt that they were quite delicious as well.

The only thing that was required to make these meals was to pay the machine for these meals. The machine took payment with the currency of this cultivation world, so each set meal cost him a few silver coins to buy.

Naturally, these set meals couldn't be priced at the same price as the other dishes since they cost much more, but Lin Fan also felt that these special set meals should be priced much higher because of how special they were.

But before having actual customers, he was also worried that he had set the price too high..

Seeing how Tian Tian's group were just gulping down these special set meals, his heart finally settled as he knew that it wouldn't be a problem to sell these dishes at this price.

As for the other dishes, they were made by Duanmu Ming Yue and he felt that it was a bit too cheap to sell it at the price that it was sold for, but she was the one that had told him to leave it at that price.

Seeing that she was firm about this, Lin Fan just accepted her suggestion.

After having two special set meals each, they finally filled their stomachs and settled down.

It was at this point that Lin Fan sat down with them and started discussing the things that they had seen in the dungeon.

Tian Tian just gave a simple description of everything that had happened in the dungeon. When she came to the matter of the sword in the chest, she couldn't help saying, "It really is strange, that chest just appeared out of nowhere and it had that sword inside of it. Also, that sword, it really is something else. It cut right through the ball creatures like they were nothing, it was just like cutting through butter with a hot knife!"

Lin Fan let her go on for a bit before turning the topic to something that he cared about, "What about the other things that you got? How is it compared to the fangs and bottles of liquid you received?"

Tian Tian calmed down a bit when she heard this. After a bit of thought, she pulled out the fang that she got from the dungeon and placed it in front of Lin Fan.

When Lin Fan saw this, he couldn't help asking, "Isn't this just a normal fang?"

Tian Tian became agitated when she heard this and quickly said, "Can't you feel the energy coming from it, it's in the Third Qi Gathering Realm! As long as this is used to create a weapon, it will be a powerful weapon!"

Tian Tian calmed down a bit after saying this and said, "If this is sold, it'll sell for quite a good price."

Lin Fan saw how excited Tian Tian was and he felt much more relieved.

It seemed that even without the sword, the fangs from the kobolds were enough to bring people to this dungeon town.

Then he asked, "What about the liquid from the ball creature? Will that sell well?"

Tian Tian hesitated this time. She was silent for a bit, but she didn't answer the question as she asked, "How are you planning on regulating this dungeon?"

Lin Fan knitted his brows when he heard this before asking, "Why are you asking this?"

Tian Tian took out a bottle of the liquid and placed it on the table before saying, "This is a dangerous substance and without proper regulation, this could pose a danger." Then after a pause, she turned to Lin Fan with a serious look and asked, "What do you think about giving the Mercenary Guild control over this dungeon?"

Lin Fan knitted his brows when he heard this, but after a bit of silence, he shook his head and said, "No, this dungeon belongs to the town and no one can regulate it."

Tian Tian knitted her brows even more when she heard this and she said, "Are you sure that you want to stick to that decision?"

Lin Fan gave a nod and said, "Yes, this dungeon will provide for the town, so we can't have anyone regulating it."

Tian Tian stared at Lin Fan's serious expression for a bit before giving a sigh, "You might come to regret that decision one day."

Lin Fan gave a sigh as well as he said, "Maybe, but that will be a day when the town is much more developed and their lives are much more peaceful. It'll be worth it then."

Tian Tian silently looked at Lin Fan for a bit before giving a nod in response to this.
