Chapter 29: Farewell, Eating Noodles, Registration, Food Money
A night passed without incident....
Early the next morning, everyone got up early. Li Zhan rented a carriage, which carried Li Zhan, Li Ling'er, Sun Yu, and Yun Lang.
Li Zhan highly regarded Yun Lang's character and abilities, so he intended to bring him to Hundred Battles Academy for work.
Yun Lang was also quite satisfied with getting a stable job.
After all, he was tired of mercenary work, and with a few brothers dead, his heart was also a bit weary.
He planned to give the settlement money to his brothers' families, then take his own family to work at Hundred Battles Academy!
As for Sun Yu, after traveling with them for a while, he got off the carriage the next morning and turned towards Nuoding City.
"Xiaoyu, I'll wait for you at Hundred Battles Academy! The spirit tool I gave you has the address of Hundred Battles Academy, just come directly!"
At the time of departure, Li Ling'er shouted to Sun Yu with a smile on her face.
"Senior Li Zhan, Big Brother Yun Lang, Sister Ling'er, goodbye!!!"
Sun Yu did not immediately agree, but waved at the rapidly departing carriage.
Inside the carriage, Yun Lang, who had poked his head out to say goodbye, did not wave goodbye as he had before. Instead, he simply shouted "goodbye" and immediately retracted into the carriage.
He was a bit scared and dared not wave goodbye as before.
Although it looked cool, it seemed to always lead to trouble.
After seeing them off, Sun Yu quickly headed towards Nuoding City.
Currently, Nuoding City was only about fifty li away.
Therefore, Sun Yu planned to use Ladder Cloud Step to run back, treating it as practice.
Soon, as time flew by, the residents of Nuoding City were enjoying the peace and tranquility of the afternoon.
At the city gate, a slightly panting figure appeared.
This figure was Sun Yu, who had rushed back covered in dust.
Six days after leaving Nuoding City, Sun Yu had finally returned to Nuoding City....
After obtaining his first spirit ring, Sun Yu's strength and spirit power had greatly increased.
Previously, a thirty li journey at full speed would take half a day.
But after obtaining the spirit ring, Sun Yu could now cover fifty li in the same amount of time.
After entering the city, Sun Yu rubbed his hungry stomach, planning to eat something before going to Spirit Hall for registration!
After all, Sun Yu was not short on money now. He should eat and drink as he pleased, and not worry about anything.
So, after thinking about what to eat, Sun Yu decisively walked into this noodle shop.
While still in the academy, Sun Yu had heard Xiao Wu say that this noodle shop was very delicious, so Sun Yu had been craving it for a long time.
Now that he had money, it was the perfect time to try it.
Entering the shop, ordering, waiting, and a moment later, a bowl of braised pork rib noodles, worth one silver coin, was brought to Sun Yu.
Sun Yu's eyes lit up as he looked at the bowl of noodles in front of him.
On top of this bowl of noodles was a thick layer of green onions, exuding a fragrant aroma!
And beneath the green onions was a large piece of braised pork rib, fatty and lean, with gravy flowing from it.
Underneath this thick braised pork was smooth and springy handmade noodles, along with a golden, fragrant, slow-cooked broth that enveloped all these aromatic ingredients.
This bowl of noodles, with its combination of various aromas, made one's appetite soar!
"Slurp...."
"Slurp...."
A bowl of noodles was quickly devoured by Sun Yu, completely opening his appetite, and he immediately ordered four more bowls.
After eating, Sun Yu took the five silver coins in change from the waiter and left the noodle shop.
Then, he slowly digested his food as he made his way to the Nuoding City branch of Spirit Hall.
Under Matheonor's reception, Sun Yu smoothly completed his spirit power level test.
Currently, Sun Yu's strength level was at twelfth level, approaching thirteenth level.
According to Sun Yu's estimation, he would be able to break through to thirteenth level in about ten days!
After testing his spirit power, Matheonor helped Sun Yu modify his Spirit Master's Handbook.
After the modification, Sun Yu would be able to receive a monthly gold coin subsidy by presenting his Spirit Master's Handbook!
Although for Sun Yu, who currently had six hundred gold coins, this one gold coin seemed quite useless.
But accumulation makes a lot, who would despise free money?
Didn't Yu Xiaogang complain about what he had while wanting more?
It was just being frugal, nothing to be ashamed of!
After everything was settled, Sun Yu planned to rush back to Saint Spirit Village while it was still light.
However, with money in his pocket, Sun Yu still felt it was good to buy something to take back.
So, after pondering for a moment, Sun Yu decided to pack a few portions of noodles to take back.
If he bought things for use, Grandpa Jack and the others might be reluctant to use them due to frugality.
But buying noodles to eat was different; if they didn't eat them today, they couldn't eat them tomorrow.
Therefore, no matter how reluctant they were, they had to finish them tonight....
Although noodles would become clumpy if soaked for too long.
But as long as the noodle soup was separated and the braised meat was packed separately, doing so would maximize the deliciousness of this bowl of noodles for Grandpa Jack and the others!
No sooner said than done, Sun Yu, having formulated his plan, immediately ran back to the noodle shop again.
A moment later, as Sun Yu re-entered the noodle shop, before he could even speak, he heard a familiar voice.
"Shopkeeper, you've owed us for several days' worth of vegetables now. Such a big shop like yours can't keep breaking its word, can it? Several families in my village need this money to support themselves. Please, have some mercy and settle these past few days' vegetable bills!"
"Old Zhang, haven't I told you? Our noodle shop has been having financial difficulties these past few days, so we temporarily don't have money to pay you. Just wait a few more days. Anyway, you farmers won't starve to death, and since you won't starve, a few more days won't make a difference, right?"
Sun Yu turned his head to look in the direction of the voice.
He then saw, by the counter of the fat Shopkeeper in a light yellow brocade robe, a simply dressed farmer with a dark complexion and a straw sun hat, nervously rubbing his hands, looking eagerly at the Shopkeeper opposite him, who wasn't even looking up, counting gold coins while responding to him.
Looking at the person in front of him, Sun Yu recognized him as Uncle Zhang from the village, whose real name was Zhang Da. Like his own father, he made a living by farming!
And he was also responsible for bringing the grown vegetables to Nuoding City to sell!
Since Old Zhang had people to support in his family, Grandpa Jack thought of letting his family earn a bit more from the vegetable money, and their own family earn a bit less.....
After all, he, the old village chief, also received a salary.
"Shopkeeper, you can't do this! We clearly agreed to settle every three days, but now almost a week has passed, and you still haven't settled. If you don't settle, the families in our village won't be able to get by!"
Uncle Zhang looked eagerly at the Shopkeeper, his voice trembling as he spoke.
Upon hearing Uncle Zhang's words, the Shopkeeper finally put down the bag of gold coins in his hand and spoke to the dark-skinned man in front of him with a cold and impatient expression.
