Chapter 48 - 48: First Customer.

They looked at each other and nodded in understanding. Then slowly they left the place leaving these fools behind.

They need to get the opportunity first!

After the three of them left the place finally became quiet and then a head of a bird popped out from the bushes followed by another.

"Your highness they left... " The bird on the left is Amber who looked at the bird emperor beside her. 

"From the looks of it, they have taken the bait." The Bird emperor said joyfully this is what h3 wanted.

"Your highness, what's next?" Amber looked excited because she felt joy in fooling others. It's strange but it's how she is feeling right now.

"What else? To the next location." The Bird Emperor said without any hesitation as he flew to the next location in White Blaze Lake. Amber was enthusiastic and followed him.

The Ape, Hyena and Honey Badger who were rushing toward the location didn't know that this information which they considered precious is being spread all over the location where creatures with low cultivation gather. 

And like them, many were scrambling toward the place to get the opportunity first.

They didn't know that there was a surprise waiting for them there...

….

Even though Ape Group we're rushing toward the location with all their might it still took them one hour.

Finally, when they were near the location they slowed down the speed and became cautious.

The opportunity is often accompanied by dangers they are aware of. To face danger and unexpected situations they decided to form an alliance and divide the benefit in the end.

As for how fragile this Alliance is? Only God knows that…

Finally, when they arrived near the location their face changed simultaneously because they sensed several around them with cultivation similar to them.

This is unexpected! With so many creatures present even if they join hands they are no match.

After all, one hand cannot defeat a hundred. Unless there is a large gap in cultivation.

Even though the situation seems dangerous they nonetheless went in after all they have travelled so far which makes them unwilling to leave just like that.

Soon they arrived near a hill where they saw many different types of creatures gathered together. Fighting intent filled the atmosphere as a war could break out at any minute. 

The Hyena felt his scalp tingling as his legs were weak seeing the situation. He was cowardly by nature so the thought of escaping immediately came into his mind.

The Ape was indifferent and fighting intent brewed in his eyes he was eager to battle. He looked at the Hyena and saw him retreating and felt disdainful. This coward always does things with the name of the Lord behind him and always bullies the weak.

He expected him to cower when the situation became serious. Then he looked at the Honey Badger and saw the same silly look on his face but now there was a rare seriousness in his eyes as battle intent filled his body.

He was very pleased to see that at least this person is better than the coward. After all, in a team battle, the most dangerous thing is to have a pig teammate. Even worse, a coward!

When they arrived others naturally noticed them seeing them forming a team they became cautious because most of them came here as individuals they are not a match for a team with the same strength.

Most of them only knew that this place has an opportunity as for what the chance is it's still unclear.

Just as they were wondering, pressure came from above which made their complexion unsightly.

A Foundation Realm Creature!

There is no doubt that this is the aura of Foundation Realm Creature.

Does that mean this place is occupied by a lord?

As they were wondering they saw a silhouette standing near the hill slope. They saw the owner of the silhouette.

It's a chubby creature with round eyes and small black and white fur covering his body. He has a big iconic belly. On top of that, the creature is wearing a strange thing that covers his lower body.

Overall the creature looks harmless, even a bit cute. But no one present dared to take this creature lightly because the aura of Foundation Realm was pouring from his body without any reservation, deterring everyone.

Suddenly the creature smiled, showing two rows of sharp teeth. Seeing this many creatures fall backwards and we're scared. Many had a thought to retreat.

"My Friends I know you are here for an opportunity for a breakthrough and I have that. If you want that opportunity you have to give me a Low-Grade Mortal Spiritual Herb." Robert opened his mouth and said slowly. He scanned and saw everyone's complexion becoming ashen after listening to him.

Everyone is unwilling to pay such a price. The reason is credibility. They don't know if the opportunity truly exists or if it's just a lie fabricated by this Lord.

Robert saw their cautiousness and understood the reason. He already prepared a solution for this as he opened his mouth and said, "I know many doubt this so to prove my words are true I will give this opportunity for free to five people. Those who want to try can come up."

Silence filled the atmosphere as no one responded to him.

It's a joke no one has the guts to go up even If there is a huge opportunity. Going up is the same as entering a tiger's den. 

Robert was not in a hurry as he left after saying this. In truth, he can just rob them with his cultivation base but he never does such a thing as this is the same as killing the chicken for the egg.

For a long term plan, it's necessary to win their heart and not use force. After all, twisted melons are never sweet. 

His idea is to collect the resources from these people. He can make food from normal materials in return he is getting spiritual material. No matter how he looks he is profiting from this plan.

Although making food with spiritual energy takes time and is troublesome, he can make food in bulk for everyone. Like this group, they are here to get Explosive soup so he can make explosive soup for everyone at once.

But for this plan customers are necessary which he does not have because of the reputation. No one knows about Taotie restaurants. That's why he needs advertisements to spread the news about the restaurant and increase its reputation.

The task that he gave to the Bird emperor is to spread the news about the restaurant throughout the place and describe the effect of the food here.

And apparently, the Bird emperor did a good job. All the Fat sheep -Cough Cough I mean customers are gathered below. He is just waiting for a brave individual who dares to come up and try the soup. Which would prove that his claims are valid without any lie.

….

After Robert left there was a commotion below all the creatures were discussing with each other what to do.

Most of them escaped seeing a foundation Realm Creature present here. 

The discussion came out with a conclusion that this is most likely a trap so many of them were against going up.

Thinking of this, most of them started evacuating after all nothing is more precious than their life. At the foot of the mountain, only a few individuals remained standing. 

The Ape and Honey Badger we're one of those. Except for them, there was a weasel with the strength of Eight layers and a Tiger with a huge scar near his eyes. 

The Tiger has a peak strength of Peak of Qi Condensation Realm but he is near the end of his life which makes his combat power lower now even an Eight layer can defeat him in a prolonged fight.

The Ape looked at the remaining people present and sighed with relief. There are only four people. 

He wanted to try the opportunity even if it's accompanied by danger. After all, his life limit is near. He didn't want to end up like the tiger here.

He also one that the creatures present here has more or less the same thought as him. He looked at the honey Badger and said, "I am going up, what about you?" 

After all, he can be considered a friend and an ally. As for their Third Ally, he had already escaped when Robert left.

Honey Badger merely nodded and said nothing. But The Ape knew that he would also go up.

Finally, he looked at the people present and walked up to the hill followed by honey Badger.

After a while, the Tiger finally made a decision and walked up. To him who is at the end phase of life, death is nothing. So there is no fear of death in him, unlike others. 

He is going to die anyway so why not seek an opportunity for a breakthrough? 

Only the weasel remained there with an uncertain face. He is not able to make a decision, In the end, he shook his head and decided to leave.

Life is more precious and he is not old and has a chance for advancement. 

...

When they reached the top of the mountain they saw a wooden house with a plaque near the door.

They could not understand the meaning since the language is incomprehensible. After all, Robert has written the name of the Restaurant in English. It would be strange if they could understand.

After some hesitation, they entered the house together. Inside they saw a few people present apparently waiting for them.

Robert was among them, Seeing him three people tensed up after all it's a Foundation Realm Creature. Except for him, there were more people present like a snake and a Rabbit they strength is below them which makes them somewhat relaxed.

Robert has already hidden Celli and White Fang because of their unusual identities. One is Demi-Human and the other is Astral Race girl. Most Importantly they looked like humans which cause too much trouble if the words leak out.

He might be overthinking but it's better to remain cautious. He looked at three creatures and was surprised the number are lesser than expected.

"Since you are here I will not go back on my word and present an opportunity for advancement." He looked at their cultivation and said with a smile.

Hearing him the Ape was the first one to open his mouth and asked, "What is the price?"

"It's free but if you want to come here next time then you have to pay Low-Grade Mortal Herb." Robert shook his head and said. Seeing them still suspicious Robert was helpless, He is telling the truth but no one is believing.

"How about this why don't you try the opportunity first and after breakthrough you can ask questions.." Robert said directly as he did not want to waste any saliva explaining them the reason for this.
