Douluo Continent: I Moved the Entire Dragon King

Chapter 57 Red Jade Shrimp & Muye

Huo Yuhao followed behind Tang Wulin, passing through a neatly trimmed garden of spiritual plants, and arrived in front of a magnificent circular building.

The building is made entirely of pure white marble, with huge floor-to-ceiling windows reaching ten meters high. Through the glass, you can see that the interior is brightly lit and resplendent, so much so that it doesn't look like a school facility at all, but rather more like a palace where a royal family holds state banquets.

Above the entrance hangs a plaque with two powerful characters: "[Canteen]".

"this----"

"Is this really... the cafeteria?"

Huo Yuhao subconsciously touched the storage soul tool at his waist, wondering how many meals the 10,000 gold soul coins in the school's welcome gift package could buy here, as it looked quite expensive.

"Yuhao, are you worried about not being able to afford the food in the cafeteria? Don't worry, all the food in our academy is free and unlimited. Just don't waste it!"

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Tang Wulin smiled and said that when it came to free and unlimited food, Tang Wulin's eyes lit up. This was simply heaven, where one could eat as much as one wanted.

"Wh-what?!"

Huo Yuhao suddenly raised his head, his bright eyes wide open, completely dumbfounded.

"Free?!?"

"Eating—without spending money?"

This cafeteria seems to have very high operating costs, yet you don't have to pay for meals?

Seeing Huo Yuhao's shocked expression, Xie Xie couldn't help but laugh. He put his hands behind his head and explained as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"Of course."

"Think about it."

"The academy even gave such a generous welcome package, not to mention the luxurious dormitories—"

"Aren't those things worth anything?"

Xie Xie shrugged.

"Since the academy has such a large budget, how could it be stingy about something as trivial as meals?"

"What this academy fears isn't that you eat a lot, but that you don't eat enough and won't have the energy to cultivate!"

"Too----"

Upon hearing Xie Xie's analysis, Huo Yuhao was taken aback for a moment, then silently nodded in agreement.

Yes, they even give out golden pearls that can enhance mental strength so casually, what's a mere meal compared to that?

"call----"

Huo Yuhao let out a long sigh of relief, his tense nerves finally relaxing.

Looking at the magnificent canteen before him, a warm feeling welled up in his heart once again.

"It seems—"

"I've really come to the right place this time."

"No need to worry about making a living, no need to sell grilled fish under the scorching sun for a few copper soul coins, just focus on cultivation————"

This is simply heaven!

"Alright, alright, stop spacing out!"

Tang Wulin, his stomach already rumbling from the delicious aroma wafting from the cafeteria, rubbed his hands together impatiently. "Since everyone's hungry, let's disperse! Go get whatever you want!"

"We'll meet at the long table over there later!"

After saying that, Tang Wulin charged into the sheepfold like a hungry wolf, heading straight for the main feeding area.

Xie Xie and Wei Xiaofeng also went their separate ways to find their favorite foods.

Huo Yuhao nodded, composed himself, and stepped into the cafeteria.

Upon entering, a rich and complex aroma wafts towards you.

Huo Yuhao arrived at the food preparation area.

There are no ordinary cafeteria ladies serving food here; behind each window stands a highly professional-looking staff member dressed in a pristine white chef's uniform.

The food displayed in the counter was an eye-opener for Huo Yuhao.

There were jade-green cabbages emitting a faint glow, fiery beef burning like flames, and deep-sea fish slices still pulsating slightly—

Each ingredient looked like some kind of rare soul beast meat or spiritual plant.

"This...this is way too outrageous!"

Huo Yuhao walked along, marveling to himself.

suddenly.

He stopped in front of an exquisite window in a corner.

The window was large, but inside there were only a few white jade plates, each half a meter in diameter.

Each plate contained six large shrimp, much larger than ordinary shrimp, something Huo Yuhao had never seen before.

The shrimp was an extremely alluring blood red, with a jade-like luster!

Under the light, it seemed as if red liquid was flowing inside the shrimp shell, emanating a terrifyingly powerful aura of blood.

"This is----"

Huo Yuhao was attracted by the shrimp's appearance and aura.

He had never seen such beautiful ingredients.

Just by standing in front of the window, he could feel that the blood and qi in his body were being drawn in and began to flow faster.

"Hehe, this student."

Just as Huo Yuhao was in a daze, the staff member behind the window spoke up with a smile.

The uncle looked at Huo Yuhao's slightly immature face and then at the plate of shrimp that he was staring at, and explained enthusiastically.

"These are red jade shrimp."

"Red Jade Shrimp?"

Huo Yuhao repeated it subconsciously.

"That's right."

The middle-aged man nodded, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes: "This is good stuff."

"It contains the essence of qi and blood that is very similar to that of human qi and blood."

"For Soul Masters, especially young Soul Masters who are in the process of physical development, this is definitely a top-notch tonic."

"Whether it's strengthening the body or nourishing the meridians, the effects are outstanding!"

Huo Yuhao gasped. Such a highly nourishing food was just casually laid out for free? They really are incredibly wealthy!

"However—"

The older man then changed the subject, offering a kind reminder: "This stuff is good, but you can't have too much of it."

"Because its qi and blood energy are too abundant."

"For an ordinary Soul Master, it usually takes about a year to fully digest and gradually absorb the accumulated Qi and blood in their body after eating a Red Jade Shrimp once."

"If you eat too much, it's easy to become too weak to handle the nutrients, and you might even get nosebleeds and develop anemia."

As he spoke, the uncle picked up the tongs, took out a perfectly colored red jade shrimp, placed it on an elegant plate, and handed it to Huo Yuhao: "You look unfamiliar, you must be new here, right?"

"I've definitely never eaten this before."

"Here, take it."

"According to the rules, each new student can only receive one on their first visit."

"Go back and eat slowly, and combine it with your cultivation practice; it will greatly benefit your health."

Huo Yuhao took the plate with trembling hands. It was heavy, not just because of the plate itself, but also because of the heavy sentiment behind it.

He looked at the crystal-clear, enticingly fragrant red jade shrimp on the plate, and was filled with emotion.

"Thank you—thank you, uncle!"

Huo Yuhao bowed deeply, his tone sincere.

Although he had never eaten pork, he had at least seen pigs run.

Even just looking at it, or just listening to the uncle's description, he knew that the red jade shrimp was quite precious.

Capturing such a soul beast, which contains immense life force, must be incredibly difficult, right? Perhaps we'd have to fight powerful sea soul beasts in the deep sea?

Even royalty might not be able to enjoy this, right? But the academy is just offering it to students for free like this?

There were even dedicated staff members responsible for explaining and distributing the food, just in case the students got sick from eating it.

As Huo Yuhao carried the plate, his awe and sense of belonging to Shrek Academy rose to a new level.

Looking at the red jade shrimp in his hand, he secretly vowed, "I must cultivate diligently and never let the academy down!"

at the same time.

Inside the dean's office.
