Chapter 1659: Do You Have a Problem?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Soul Overlord meat was a Saint-level ingredient. It was the equivalent of an immortal elixir, and it was an understatement to say that a piece of it could make an individual immortal.
A piece of Soul Overlord meat could make an Immortal-Emperor-to-be break through to the level of Immortal Emperors. It was the jump in cultivation base that was most fascinating to all. That was why the world was in an uproar after Bu Fang made the announcement.
Bu Fang ripped open the door of the armored vehicle. To him, the vehicle’s defense was like paper. Inside, it was piled with countless Hua banknotes. The sheer visual impact of just looking at them gave him gooseb.u.mps.
He had never seen so much cash in his life!
The first guest, a senior official of Hua, looked at Bu Fang with a smile. With Bu Fang’s permission, he impatiently stepped into the restaurant.
There were several tables in the restaurant, and on each table was a blue-and-white porcelain plate with a piece of meat in it.
The man picked up the meat with a pair of chopsticks. Bu Fang had cut the Soul Overlord meat as thin as a cicada’s wing—it looked almost transparent and could be easily torn apart.
It was coated with honey. This was no ordinary honey, but honey from the divine bees that Niu Hansan had bred in the Heaven and Earth Farmland. Coated with amber honey, the thin slice of meat looked gorgeous.
A slice of meat like this was worth 100 million Hua dollars. This must be the most expensive meat ever! The price was beyond anyone’s imagination.
The man took a deep breath. The piece of meat might not look impressive, but as Soul Overlord meat, it was certainly extraordinary.
Of course, he did not rule out the possibility that Bu Fang had deceived them. However, with Bu Fang’s strength, it was unlikely that he would try to do that kind of thing.
He struggled for a long time. The clean, straight suit he was wearing became untidy, and sweat was trickling down his forehead. He pulled the tie around his neck and exhaled deeply.
The next moment, he raised the chopsticks and put the slice of meat into his mouth. The rich aroma of meat filled his mouth and entered his nose instantly, and the sweet taste of honey made his mind start to drift.
Outside the restaurant, many people were watching. Even the Queen Mother and her Immortals were watching through the magic mirror.
Bu Fang ignored them. He had confidence in his cooking skills. He squinted at the 100 million Hua dollars in the vehicle, then placed his palm on top of them.
The next moment, an invisible fluctuation spread, and then all the cash disappeared, swallowed by the System. The interior of the armored vehicle was empty in the blink of an eye.
Bu Fang glanced at the man who tottered out of the restaurant and waved his hand, signaling the next customer to come over.
The man who had eaten the meat looked as if he was drunk. His face was red, and he was burping.
The energy contained in the Soul Overlord meat was too strong. However, Bu Fang’s cooking had suppressed that powerful energy, making the meat suitable for everyone present.
After eating the Soul Overlord meat, the powerful energy would be stored in their bodies, allowing them to slowly cultivate and purify it in the days to come.
As soon as the man stepped out of the restaurant, all the people present turned on their computers, which were supplied by the State Supernatural Agency and could be used to detect the spiritual energy level of superhumans.
Beeping sounds rang out from all the computers. With the emergence of many G.o.ds and Immortals, the maximum level of spiritual energy the computers could detect now had been enhanced significantly.
Under the observation of the computers, the aura of the man who had eaten the Soul Overlord meat rose steadily. With every step he took, his aura increased exponentially. He was originally only a C-cla.s.s superhuman, but after stepping out of the restaurant, his aura skyrocketed.
Soon, his aura surpa.s.sed that of an A-cla.s.s superhuman and reached S-cla.s.s, and that was not the end.
Everyone went crazy! Soul Overlord meat could really greatly increase the cultivation base! The experts of all countries could no longer sit still, and countless people began to make their way to the restaurant.
Bu Fang waved off one empty armored vehicle after another. His turnover was constantly increasing, and he no longer knew how much money he had made up to this point.
However, he said he would only accept cash, and he meant it. A man from the Middle East offered him an oil field in exchange for a slice of meat, but he refused mercilessly.
An oil field? Was that edible? If it was not edible, what did he want it for?
The man wept bitterly. He had money, but he could not get Hua dollars. That depressed feeling was killing him.
He could not come out with cash, but there were plenty of people who could. After him, many Hua people came forward with cash.
Bu Fang counted the money until his hands cramped. He had lost his desire for money and had become somewhat numb. In the end, he simply pulled out a chair and lay down comfortably in it.
As for the cash in the armored vehicles, they were all taken away by the System.
“Many thanks for your kindness, Senior,” said the monk Bu Fang had met on the cruise s.h.i.+p, clasping his hands before his chest. He was chosen by the State Supernatural Agency to eat the meat.
The leaders of Hua were well aware that although the crisis was over for the time being, no one knew if the Soul Demons would make a comeback. They guessed that the reason Bu Fang was selling the Soul Overlord meat was for the sake of humanity.
Therefore, the value of the meat should naturally be maximized, and it could only be achieved by giving the meat to those who were most suitable and in need.
The United States also knew this very well.
Although the monk was a superhuman, he was also a Buddhist monk. After eating the meat, his Buddha’s light glowed even brighter, and his cultivation base soared and jumped three times in a row. He went directly beyond the level of Earth Immortals and stepped into the level of Human Immortals, just one step away from becoming a Heaven Immortal.
He literally became an Immortal in just one step.
This made the world boil even fiercer.
The Queen Mother of the West could no longer sit still. She sent her Immortals to ask Bu Fang for Soul Overlord meat, but he drove them all out. He had said that anyone who wanted Soul Overlord meat would have to buy it with 100 million Hua dollars.
The impartial and incorruptible Owner Bu surprised people all over the world. He would not even give face to the top Hua Immortals!
The United States also spent 100 million of their Hua cash reserves in exchange for a piece of meat from Bu Fang and gave it to their top superhuman. After eating it, the expert reached a level beyond S-cla.s.s in an instant.
…
One by one, armored vehicles came loaded with cash and went down the mountain empty.
Countless Internet users were stunned as they watched. It turned out that being a chef was so profitable! For a moment, the whole world set off a craze to learn cooking and culinary arts.
“Greetings, Senior Bu Fang. I have been sent by the Prime Minister of Sakura Island to ask you for a slice of meat.” A short man in a suit made a 90-degree bow to Bu Fang, who was sitting on a recliner.
Bu Fang closed his eyes and ignored the man.
“Sakura Island can’t come out with 100 million dollars in cash at the moment. But Senior Bu Fang is not being fair. Why do we have to pay Hua dollars? Why can’t we use Sakura Island’s cash?
“Soul Overlord meat belongs to the world. We hope Senior Bu Fang can be fair to everyone so that the whole world can progress together,” the man said as he stared at Bu Fang after bowing.
Behind him, many ministers from smaller countries joined together and looked at Bu Fang with hopeful faces. They hoped to take this opportunity to get their hands on Soul Overlord meat as well.
The top leaders of the United States, Hua, and other major powers were all watching with cold eyes.
They could not believe that the people of Sakura Island still did not give up on stirring up trouble. Didn’t they know who they were dealing with? It was a terrifying existence that could wipe out a city at the drop of a hat!
Bu Fang opened his eyes. Sitting on the recliner, he looked indifferently at the man from Sakura Island.
The aggressive man stared at Bu Fang. He felt that his whole body was glowing with the light of justice at the moment. This world was about fairness. Why would he buy Soul Overlord meat with Hua dollar and in cash?
“You’re from Sakura Island?” Bu Fang yawned and glanced at the man with an expressionless face.
The man puffed out his chest and nodded.
“Well… You want to talk to me about fairness?” Bu Fang straightened up slightly, exhaled, and looked at the man. “Do you think you’re in a position to tell me about fairness?
“Your G.o.d once sneaked up on me. You remember that, right? Although I’ve beaten him to death, the incident left an indelible scar in my heart. I can’t help but think of it when I sleep, and it makes me toss and turn. So, I won’t sell my dishes to the people of Sakura Island, even if you give me Hua dollars in cash. Is that fair enough?
“Besides, I just want Hua cash. Do you have a problem with that?” Bu Fang said, his voice flat but domineering.
The ministers of those smaller countries were trembling, while the man from Sakura Island looked horrified. He opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
“Get out of my sight.” Bu Fang gave the man a look of disgust, then flicked his finger.
With a rumble, the man from Sakura Island disappeared.
…
“Haha! Senior is so domineering!”
“I can’t believe those shameless guys from Sakura Island dare to speak so loudly about fairness! Don’t they know that Senior represents fairness?”
“Senior is a Hua Immortal, so of course he only accepts Hua dollars in cas.h.!.+ If you do not agree, let your G.o.ds come and speak to Senior about fairness!”
When the Internet users saw this scene, they suddenly felt a great sense of relief. That feeling was like pouring a bucket of cool water on the head on a hot summer day, which was extremely refres.h.i.+ng.
Sakura Island was known as a scoundrel in the world. How dared they bully Bu Fang this time? They really overestimated themselves.
“Hmm… Let me add one more condition. If you don’t have Hua cash, don’t come, or I’ll disqualify you from buying forever,” Bu Fang said indifferently as he reclined back in his chair.
His words caused a stir in the long line in front of the restaurant. Many of those who wanted to pressure him with humanity quietly stepped back and then left. After all, the sad ending of the man from Sakura Island was there for all to see.
The cheeks of the old Immortal the Queen Mother had sent were s.h.i.+vering. He looked at the purple-gold gourd in his hand, which contained immortal pills. He was prepared to trade the pills for Soul Overlord meat, but, according to Bu Fang, he would probably be disqualified from buying it if he dared to do so.
‘This evil man is so… f*cking annoying.’
…
Above the vault of heaven and under the starry sky, two Soul Demons were flying at high speed. Suddenly, they stopped and hovered in an empty area.
They were two Soul Overlords. One of them was slender as a bamboo pole with a vertical eye on his forehead. The eye was very large, and when it turned, it emitted a strange, enchanting light. He was Pride Soul Overlord.
The other Soul Overlord was very ugly, but he had the appearance of a human with fat lips. He was l.u.s.t Soul Overlord.
They looked at each other. The next moment, Pride Soul Overlord’s third eye rolled and shot out a scarlet ray.
The ray exploded in the sky and turned into countless tiny rays, spreading out in all directions.
All of a sudden, some of the rays distorted as they pa.s.sed through an area.
Pride Soul Overlord’s eyes narrowed, and then his hoa.r.s.e voice rang out, “Found it…”
The two Soul Overlords burst out laughing in midair. The next moment, the terrifying power of Sin poured out of them, turned into a terrifying energy blast, and impacted the area.
After the explosion of energy dispersed, a cave appeared in front of them. Three figures could be vaguely seen sitting cross-legged in the dark cave.
“At last… We’ve found the cosmic portal to the Soul Demon Universe!” Pride Soul Overlord grinned. Then, he and l.u.s.t Soul Overlord turned into two streams of light and flew toward the cave.
…
At Penglai, Tongtian, who was lecturing on the scriptures, suddenly opened his eyes. A sword soared into the sky from his back while monstrous killing intent erupted from within him.
“d.a.m.n Soul Demons! How dare you!”
…
Meanwhile, Bu Fang, lying in the recliner at the foot of Mount Kunlun, also suddenly flicked open his eyes.
