CHAPTER 963: CHAPTER 961: WHAT KIND OF DIVINE ELIXIR IS THIS MILK TEA?

"Just having hands is enough..." The treasure hunters looked at their own hands, should they chop them off then?

The people from the Ritian Sect are all perverts, are they really going to compare themselves to them? Those people are stronger than anyone on the Summit Ranking; they can easily hunt so many Level Five life form beasts, but we can’t!

"Ah, forget it, we’re stuck relying on others, what else can we do?"

"We can’t just sleep in the wild, right? Everyone should work a little harder; it’s not like hunting beasts is the only way, right?"

"Makes sense, I found a valley the other day where the cosmic origin energy is very rich, maybe we can find something good."

"Everyone is tired from a day’s journey, how about we all grab something to eat? Didn’t Zhang Menglong say there’s still food for sale in the city? Energy potions are so expensive, saving a little is saving a bit, honestly, beast-cooked food tastes pretty decent too."

"Come on, let’s go check it out, I don’t believe they can sell food so expensive!"

...

Zhang Menglong turned part of the city into an area like a snack street, with small stalls and many fast food and hotels familiar on Earth.

"Kenjiji? What is this, sounds like something tasty."

"Golden Arches? Sounds elegant, definitely tailor-made for elite martial artists like me!"

"Skinny Guys’ Crab Pot, I’ve tried countless delicacies in cosmic civilizations, but hearing such a name for the first time."

"A Little Bit, milk tea? Is this a new popular drink recently?"

"Valley Dip, food you dip and eat? Interesting!"

...

Walking into this snack district, everyone’s attention was drawn to the array of restaurants and milk tea shops.

High-grade life forms actually have very low desires for food; their only requirement is energy-rich food that maintains their physical strength, the rest is not so important.

"Whoa, there’s even milk tea here?" The Ritian Sect trio also arrived at this snack street, other treasure hunters noticed they seemed very familiar with these foods, suggesting they might be from the civilization where the Ritian Sect is located.

"Boss, an Ovaltine milk tea, half sugar, super iced!"

"Boss, I’ll have a boba milk tea, add boba and coconut jelly, seventy percent sugar."

"Boss, a red tea latte, no sugar."

"Look, aren’t those the Black Warriors?" The treasure hunters observed from afar, noticing that those busy in the milk tea shops were surprisingly Black Warriors!

These are puppets with combat power comparable to Level Six life forms; instead of using them to hunt beasts, help find resources, or even resort to robbery outside, you’re having them make milk tea? Is this how you waste resources?

"Damn! nmb, the Dean’s really greedy!"

"Damn, selling this expensive?"

"Liu Jinghong, didn’t you say you’d treat?"

"What? What did you say? I didn’t catch that?"

...

Three young men stormed out of the milk tea shop cursing.

The treasure hunters looked at each other, it’s just a simple drink, how expensive can it be?

One finally walked into the tea shop out of curiosity and nearly fainted upon seeing the price list.

Taro Ball Milk Tea: 1.3 billion cosmic coins

Five Blessings Milk Tea: 1.4 billion cosmic coins

Red Tea Macchiato: 1.3 billion cosmic coins

Boba Milk Tea: 1.1 billion cosmic coins

...

The treasure hunter’s pupils dilated tenfold instantly; isn’t this a completely crooked business?

Indeed, in the cosmos, some of the most flamboyant drinks go for hundreds of billions, even trillions of cosmic coins, but those are refined from very rare treasures with extraordinary effects, their price justified, sometimes even money can’t buy them.

But this obviously mass-produced stuff, looking no different from ordinary drinks, how could one cup cost billions of cosmic coins? Do they think we’re fools?

Drinking one cup of milk tea could get you several days in a luxury apartment, even if this so-called milk tea is delicious, is it worth spending the money for just some oral pleasure?

"Let’s go, check elsewhere!" The prices directly scared everyone away.

"Welcome, how many of you," a few female-appearing simulacra greeted a group of treasure hunters approaching the Valley Dip store.

"Four people!" The four treasure hunters were all from the same cosmic empire, their strength among the strongest of the Level Five peak life forms.

"Gentlemen, please choose a soup base first," the simulacra opened the holographic menu system, "I suggest you select the Yin-Yang Pot for a better match of different tastes."

The lead treasure hunter opened the menu, and the numbers shocked him.

Full Pot (Beef Tallow Spicy): 9.9 billion cosmic coins

Yin-Yang Pot (Tomato + Beef Tallow Spicy): 8.4 billion cosmic coins

...

A quick glance showed no item priced below 1 billion cosmic coins. Dining here would easily cost hundreds of billions, possibly even over a trillion cosmic coins!

...

"What? A family bucket is 13.8 billion cosmic coins?"

"Huh? This chicken paw pot is 12.8 billion cosmic coins? What kind of chicken is this, Level Six cosmic beast?"

"Braised Chicken Rice? Chicken again? One serving costs 1.8 billion cosmic coins?"

The entire street echoed with complaints; even in the treasure hunting space where resources are scarce, even if all chefs are Black Warriors, the prices are outrageous!

"Protest, we’re not satisfied!"

"I’d rather starve than eat a bite from you Ritian Sect!"

"Oh my, who’s making such bold claims again? Doesn’t anyone understand Wang Jingze’s ’really delicious’ law by now?" Zhang Menglong walked out from a restaurant with a snail noodle sign, "Who’s protesting?"

"Mr. Zhang, don’t blame us for causing trouble, your prices are just too high!" A treasure hunter said bravely, "I know you want to earn more Fire of Fate, but this wipes us out, if we can’t afford food, who will make profits for you?"

"Exactly, you’re charging tens of billions for a simple drink, that’s almost the price of Timis Water!"

"Dean, Timis Water is made from dew condensed on the Timis Tree, renowned as the purest water, it aids sub-Level Six life forms in recovering physical damage or even completes limb regeneration, priced around 2.5 billion cosmic coins." Gou Dan explained immediately.

"No need to get so excited," Zhang Menglong comforted them, "My expensive prices have a reason; these are premium drinks developed by our Ritian Sect. Try them and see!"

Zhang Menglong handed over the Boba Milk Tea he had sipped from, "This one’s on me."

The treasure hunter skeptically accepted it; since Zhang Menglong had drunk it, it should be fine, right?

He took a small lick, the sweet taste brightened his eyes, and he gulped the cup down.

Suddenly, a trace of dazedness appeared in his eyes.

Last night, they were attacked by a group of beasts. Though he escaped, a beast’s horn left him with a penetrating wound, a terrifying injury that might take half a month to heal even with perfect medical care.

But now, a cooling sensation spread from his chest; frantically tearing off his shirt, within mere seconds, the scar on his chest healed as new!

Even Timis Water enhances cell activity, requiring three days to heal such a wound, yet this so-called milk tea...

Holding the milk tea, he looked at Zhang Menglong with reverent awe, "Mr. Zhang, just what kind of divine drink is this milk tea?"
