Chapter 655 Rare Fruit

Hotel lobby.

Jia Zhengjin came to the service desk and tapped lightly with his fingers.

"Hello, guest! May I ask what you need?" The fat waiter who had been drinking ale just now greeted him with a smile.

"Give me a drink and some snacks!" It was still early, and Jia Zhengjin was going to sit in the lobby and observe the leisure life of humans in other worlds, especially travelers and adventurers.

"This is the menu. There are specific prices on it, just order what you want!" The fat waiter handed over a list.

Taking a casual glance, Jia Zhengjin felt dizzy. Because he is not very familiar with alien characters, and the total number of knowledge is not much, and this is still handwritten, and the font is very scribbled. Except for the price behind, the menu knew him, he didn't know the menu.

But I was embarrassed to say that my mastery of common characters in other worlds was limited, and I couldn't recognize the other party's handwriting, so I thought about it and simply handed back the menu: "Bring me a plate of the best fruit, and give me a glass of water! "

Hearing that he wanted the best fruit, the fat waiter's eyes lit up immediately: "Is that rare fruit okay?"

Jia Zhengjin didn't know what a rare fruit was, and he had never heard anyone mention it: "Whatever! Give me a plate first!"

"For rare fruits, it goes well with ale. Why don't you get some ale?" The fat waiter suggested.

Jia Zhengjin shook his head: "I don't drink, water is fine!"

"Okay!" The fat waiter immediately stretched out his hand, "A plate of precious fruits costs 5 silver coins, and water is free!"

Seeing her asking for money, Jia Zhengjin thought to himself, wouldn't he pay after eating?

Fortunately, five silver coins are just a drop in the bucket to him, so he doesn't care.

After paying the money, the fat waiter said to him respectfully: "Guest, please choose a seat first, and someone will deliver your rare fruit right away!"

Jia Zhengjin nodded, and sat down at an empty table in the far corner.

After sitting down, he silently observed the people at the tables around him.

"Have you heard? There have been several attacks recently, and many people who went out early in the morning or returned at night have disappeared. According to reliable information, some people have witnessed evil necromancers transforming living people into skeletons..."

"My God! So terrible?"

"Yes! The imperial army has already intervened in the investigation, and it is said that many mercenary regiments have taken over the mission. But so far, there has been no progress!"

"Have you heard of the Shangbuck Mercenary Group? It is said that they have also accepted this mission. It has been more than a week, and there is no news yet!"

"Could this mercenary group have been wiped out?"

"Aren't they all turned into skeleton soldiers of necromancers? It's scary!"

"Hey! Some time ago there was a necromancer in the Xiongfeng Empire, and now there is another one in our country! What's going on?"

"I always feel that the dark forces are slowly rising!"

"Think too much? Maybe it's just a coincidence? Although necromancers are not popular, you can often hear their stories on the mainland. I don't think there is any connection between the Xiongfeng Empire and our country. !"

"Anyway, it has nothing to do with us. Someone will naturally handle this kind of matter! It is said that the imperial general Vincent has accepted the order of the king and is fully responsible for this matter..."

The conversation of three adventurers at the table on the left caught Jia Zhengjin's attention.

"Guest, your rare fruit and water!" At this moment, another slender waitress came to the table and gently put down what Jia Zhengjin ordered.

"Thank you!" Jia Zhengjin nodded to her, and looked down at the fruit on the plate.

It is really a fruit I have never seen before. It looks like a five-pointed star with a big belly, and the red and yellow colors on the surface are interlaced. It looks quite novel.

I picked up one and put it in front of my eyes to study it, and found that it could be broken apart. Inside are three small purple beads, probably the seeds of this fruit.

Jia Zhengjin, who didn't know how to eat, turned his head to look around. As a result, no other people who ate rare fruits were found, so after a moment of hesitation, they took out the three purple seeds,

Put it in your mouth and chew it. Fragrant and crispy is really delicious!

this is not bad! You can take some back and grow them for snacks.

He immediately grabbed a few and received them in a virtual backpack for storage.

While eating, I listened to the chatter of travelers and adventurers around me, and there was really all kinds of news. These people talk about everything from national policies to trivial matters. Some of them even mentioned Holy Dragon City and Jia Zhengjin. It's just that there is no other information except that Sacred Dragon City joined forces with the Dragon Clan and almost broke out with the Allied Forces of the Human Empire before.

But when Jia Zhengjin was listening to other people's conversations in the corner, the pockmarked girl who brought him into the hotel before, that is, the shop owner's daughter, Maggie, came to the service desk. In the end, I saw the fat waiter cheerfully stuffing a silver coin into his pocket, frowning and grabbing her wrist: "I said Lan Lan, I don't care about you for stealing ale! Help you hide it from my dad." It's also possible. But stealing money is fine? No matter how good our friendship is, I can't protect you!"

"McGee, I didn't steal the money!" The fat waiter was startled at first, then turned around and hurriedly explained, "Really! It wasn't stolen!"

"It wasn't stolen. Could it be that someone rewarded you? Why haven't I seen such a wealthy guest?" McGee said in a deep voice, "Lan Lan, I'm your good sister, it's not like you lost your job!"

"McGee, I really didn't steal the money!" The fat waiter hurriedly explained, "The money is definitely not on the account. Although it is not a reward from the guests, it really did not cause any loss to your family."

"What do you mean?" Maggie pulled her up, "tell me clearly."

"That's...that's..." The fat waiter struggled for a while, and said softly to her, "I'll tell you the truth, but you can't tell others that I said it."

"Lan Lan, I consider you a friend, so you say so!" McGee looked at her seriously.

The fat waiter carefully looked around, then reached out and pulled McGee to the back of the service desk, and said to her in a low voice: "I'm sorry! Actually, you and your father don't know, everyone does it this way. It's just that there is a foreigner." When businessmen or tourists come over, everyone will bully them because they don’t understand the prices here, and then come out with a fake menu. Then the same food will be charged a little more expensive. Didn’t the soldier who didn’t know where he came from just now ordered? A plate of rare fruits for 4 silver coins? I sold him 5 silver coins! So... so this one silver coin becomes mine!"

"Are you crazy? If my dad finds out about this, he will definitely whip you!" Maggie's eyes widened. "Do you often do this?"

"No, no!" The fat waiter hurriedly shook his head, "I, I'm doing this for the first time, and I'm quite nervous..."

"How can you do this? If the reputation of our hotel is ruined, how will we do business in the future?" McGee said anxiously, "Hand over the silver coins, and I will return them!"

"Don't want it? Anyway, no one knows..."

"Lan Lan, don't let them lead you into trouble! If the guest personally rewarded you, it's fine to take it. This kind of deception is not acceptable!"
