Battle Online: My Luck Is So High It's Basically Cheating

"Welcome! How many in your party, guest?"

Just as he entered Chunfeng Restaurant, a waiter immediately came over to greet him.

But when the waiter saw Lucien, he said in surprise, "Falling into the Human World?"

Lucien looked at the waiter and asked, "A player?"

The waiter nodded and said, "Yes, I’m here in Battle Online to make some money!"

"The restaurants opened by native residents here not only pay well, but the bosses aren’t as exploitative as those in the real world."

Lucien nodded and didn’t say much.

Nowadays, Battle Online’s influence on the real world is growing larger and larger.

For the vast majority of players, going out to level up actually results in spending more than they earn.

Although monsters drop materials, gold coins, and equipment, it’s not enough to cover the daily necessities for hunting.

Furthermore, weapons and equipment need to be repaired periodically.

Not to mention the various management fees charged by the Nine Great Guilds.

Trying to make money simply by hunting monsters is almost impossible.

Only a few lucky individuals can break even every time they go out to hunt.

This leads many players to work for a few days to save up some gold coins before heading out to level up again.

While some work in the real world, many others have found jobs within Battle Online.

After all, not everyone is like Lucien, who almost always makes a profit whenever he hunts.

With his good equipment and high attributes, he has almost no consumption while hunting.

Moreover, his drop rate far exceeds that of ordinary players.

There’s also the Goblin Dungeon, which provides him with nearly ten thousand gold coins every week.

"Arrange a private room for me; I don’t like being disturbed while I eat!" Lucien said to the waiter.

"Uh, that might not be possible today. All one hundred private rooms are occupied. There’s only one spot left upstairs. What do you think?" the waiter said, looking a bit troubled.

"Fine then. If there are no private rooms, then so be it," Lucien said, somewhat helpless.

Arriving on the second floor, it was also overcrowded. Covering thousands of square meters with over a thousand tables, it was almost completely full.

There really are a lot of rich people in this world!

At Chunfeng Restaurant, a single meal costs at least ten gold coins.

And just the thousand-plus tables on the second floor being full meant at least ten thousand gold coins in sales.

This didn’t even include the two thousand tables downstairs.

According to Lucien’s estimate, the daily revenue of Chunfeng Restaurant alone was probably several tens of thousands of gold coins.

Tens of thousands of gold coins a day—that was absolutely terrifying.

It was likely that not even any single guild among the Nine Great Guilds could earn that much money every day.

From this, one could see how strong Chunfeng Restaurant’s money-making ability was.

"What would you like to eat?" the waiter asked.

Lucien asked, "I heard there’s a Five-Colored Seven-Colored Fish today. Is that true or false?"

Upon hearing this, the waiter immediately perked up and hurriedly introduced, "Of course it’s true, and our Lady Boss is cooking it herself."

"You should know, our Lady Boss’s culinary skills are at the Grandmaster level, just one step away from reaching the Great Grandmaster level."

"It’s only because of this Five-Colored Seven-Colored Fish that our Lady Boss is cooking personally." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Lucien asked, "Then, what’s the price?"

The waiter said, "Five thousand gold coins per serving!"

Hearing the price, Lucien frowned slightly.

He only had a bit over thirty thousand gold coins right now.

That was nearly a month’s worth of income for Lucien. One serving of Seven-Colored Fish costing five thousand gold coins—to be honest, he felt the sting.

Seeing Lucien’s pained expression, the waiter said, "This dish is of Immortal Grade quality; it’s a good item that can permanently increase attributes."

Hearing that it could permanently increase attributes, Lucien’s eyes lit up.

Things that permanently increase one’s own attributes are always good items.

"Alright, then bring me one serving!" Lucien said directly.

"Alright." The waiter noted it down on the menu.

Lucien ordered two more dishes and then asked, "Is there anything to drink?"

The waiter said, "Of course, we have drinks here, but I suggest the Immortal Spring Brew is best."

"When this Immortal Spring Brew is paired with the Seven-Colored Fish, the flavor will definitely leave you lingering and forgetting to return."

Lucien nodded and said, "Okay, fine, the Immortal Spring Brew it is. Let the food be served!"

"Your total consumption is six thousand three hundred gold coins. What do you think?" the waiter said.

Lucien directly traded the six thousand three hundred gold coins to him.

Among that, the Seven-Colored Fish was five thousand gold coins, and one thousand gold coins was the price of the Immortal Spring Brew.

As for the remaining two dishes, the prices were much lower.

Soon, the dishes he ordered were brought out.

The drifting fragrance made his appetite surge.

Especially the Seven-Colored Fish in the middle, which was only about the size of two thumbs; it shimmered with five-colored light under the lamps.

It looked delicious, and Lucien couldn’t help but use his Insight Skill to take a look.

Seven-Colored Steamed Fish

Grade: Immortal

After consumption, increases Agility by ten points, with a very small chance to comprehend "Fish-Dragon Rain-Warding."

Note: Attributes are only increased upon the first consumption.

Hidden Information: If cooked together with red sophora flower honey, it will have a distinct flavor.

Not bad, it can actually increase Agility by ten points.

This is equivalent to the total attributes others gain from leveling up once.

I just don’t know how it tastes, but it should be very delicious!

Just the fragrance of the fish meat made Lucien eager to taste it immediately.

Just as he picked up his chopsticks, a stunningly beautiful woman dressed in white palace attire with a graceful figure approached Lucien.

"Hello, I am the owner of Chunfeng Restaurant. You can call me Mia!"

Mia smiled slightly, like a blooming rose, giving off a noble and elegant feeling.

Lucien somewhat reluctantly put down his chopsticks and said, "Hello, I am Falling into the Human World!"

Mia said, "It’s like this: I’ve come to see what your evaluation of this Seven-Colored Fish is and to see if there’s anything that needs improvement!"

Why was Mia able to reach the Grandmaster level in culinary arts at such a young age?

It was precisely because she would have every guest evaluate the dishes she made.

Based on the guests’ evaluations, she would then make improvements.

Because of this, the food she prepared became more and more popular.

She reached the Grandmaster level at a young age.

However, as her culinary skills improved, the suggestions people offered became fewer and fewer.

Until now, it had been a long time since anyone had any complaints about the food she made.

But she still maintained this habit. After all, if she wanted her culinary skills to break through to the Great Grandmaster level, she had to know exactly where her deficiencies were.

Lucien finally realized—so she wanted to hear his evaluation.

"Um, then please wait a moment. I haven’t tasted it yet!"

"But just based on the fragrance of this fish meat, without a hint of fishiness, and its appearance, everything is impeccable."

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of fish meat and put it in his mouth.
