Chapter 61: Chapter 31: Invitation and Rejection (Thanks to Alliance Hierarch Cat Mimi Mengmeng)_2
"Wait, you're saying T4 level, right?" Dudu spoke up.
"Yes, what about it?" Lina asked, feigning confusion.
"A T4 level set meal starts at over 1000, do we really need something so expensive just for a meal?"
Although Dudu cared about face, in front of a few close sisters, where everyone's family background was well known, there was no need to pretend.
"Dudu has a point," Mili nodded. Among them, she came from the wealthiest background, but she normally wouldn't come to this type of restaurant alone, only accompanying her elders to entertain guests at most.
"No worries, I've been here with an acquaintance before, and they gave me a few discount coupons. If worst comes to worst, I can also talk to him; he's friends with the owner and can help us save a lot," Lina reassured everyone once more.
"Alright then, but you said it's on you if it's over 300, I can't afford that," Dudu wouldn't be at a loss.
"There's no need to be so harsh," Mili seemed unfazed by the cost.
"As for me..." Hexia was considering whether to decline, actually she wasn't unfamiliar with T4 level set meals, since she often ate them in the restaurant lately. But outside it was just too expensive.
That's about half a day's work gone... Hexia calculated in her mind.
"It's fine," Lina patted Hexia on her shoulder, cutting off her words.
"I'm treating today, is that not okay? You all look terrified," she shook her head, placing a hand over her chest, showing a pained expression as if her goodwill was misunderstood. Find adventures on m v l e m p y r
In the end, the group still entered the restaurant.
"Welcome to the Alluring Prism restaurant, where we will provide you with absolutely comfortable and worry-free service."
"We didn't order this, did we?" Lina inquired.
"Yes, but a gentleman asked us to bring it over to you," said the waiter, stepping aside to reveal a man sitting at a nearby table, dressed smartly with silver-rimmed glasses, exuding the air of a business elite.
"Oh, who's this?" Dudu asked Lina, curious.
"Ah, so he's here today. That's the acquaintance I mentioned. He says he comes to this place often and is the one who introduced it to me," Lina waved to the man, and the elf gentleman approached.
"Good evening, ladies," he spoke with an accent that carried a hint of the Elvish language.
"Hello," Dudu and Mili felt flattered and scrambled to recall the etiquette lessons from school, but they couldn't remember much at that moment and just felt nervous.
The man nodded amiably in response to their greetings, then began introducing himself.
"My name is Senqueerde, a friend of Lina. Didn't expect to dine here after work and just happened to see you."
Dining here after work, and alone at that—it made it hard not to speculate whether he lived this lavish life daily. Listening to him, Dudu and Mili's imaginations ran wild, and seeing that he was an elf, their admiration only grew.
Elves may account for less than 1% of the federation's population, but with lifespans nearly three times that of humans and significant advantages in practicing Natural Sequence, they often found themselves in the upper echelons of society and were the envy of many.
"Hello, my name is Mili..."
"Hello, I'm..." Mili and Dudu took turns introducing themselves, even sharing some of their hobbies and interests.
Finally, it was the turn of the grey-haired girl in the corner, "Hello, my name is Hexia." Her introduction was straightforward and unembellished, without extraneous details.
"Nice to meet you all, I hope I haven't disturbed your meal," he said, pulling out a chair and sitting down naturally.
