Shadows of the Deep Space-Chapter 834 - 389 Stingy (Five-in-One)_5

But Su Ming couldn’t say it directly, otherwise nine times out of ten, there would be a misunderstanding, and Alist and the others might think he’s being sarcastic.

Su Ming was momentarily speechless, but he managed to organize his thoughts and finally spoke up.

"I’ll be honest with you, my ability to pilot the Biological Mecha comes purely from talent, and talent is something you can’t teach. But I believe if you work hard and strive, you’ll surpass me someday."

Upon hearing Su Ming’s words, the three of Alist couldn’t hold back their expressions and didn’t know what to say, finally forcing out a few words.

"We’ll strive to surpass you."

"Alright, alright, I’m leaving now."

Su Ming replied awkwardly, then walked toward Su Yuan and the others.

Su Yuan was holding back laughter and said to Su Ming.

"You got nothing, didn’t you? What were you thinking, inviting those three? Throughout the Star Storage event, other than during battles, I’ve hardly heard them make a sound; it’ll be a miracle if they join us for dinner."

"Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore, let’s change clothes and go."

Su Ming interrupted Su Yuan’s words helplessly.

"Alright!"

Su Yuan and the others replied with a smile.

...

A moment later.

Su Ming and the others changed into their casual clothes and walked along the bustling commercial street.

The shops on both sides were all adorned with the flag of the Shabask Kingdom, and roadside facilities were decorated with various ribbons and balloons.

Everywhere there were people and tourists enjoying themselves, creating a very lively atmosphere.

"There’re so many restaurants here, what should we eat?"

Zhou Mu looked around and asked.

Su Ming thought for a moment and then asked Lin Chuyu.

"Chuyu, what do you want to eat?"

"I’m fine with anything."

Lin Chuyu replied with a smile.

Then An Ruoxue spoke up playfully.

"Wait a minute, Su Ming, why are you only asking Chuyu what she wants to eat? Why not ask me too? I’m so heartbroken."

"Alright, what do you want to eat?"

Su Ming replied with a cry-laugh.

"I want barbecue, but I’m talking about roast beef, not the synthetic kind, but the pure natural kind."

An Ruoxue said with a grin.

"Pure natural roast beef isn’t cheap! Let me calculate for you, from birth to adulthood, a cow needs to eat 20-30 thousand pounds of grass and drink the same weight of purified water! Not counting labor costs and breeding cattle costs, just calculating the feed expenses, you can see it."

Harter, who seldom spoke, suddenly said.

"How do you know so much?"

Su Ming asked, somewhat surprised.

"Though our family mainly deals with pharmaceuticals, we also dabble a bit in planting and breeding industries."

Harter explained.

"Isn’t that similar to the Vox Biological Group?"

Su Ming asked with a smile.

"It is similar, but far less powerful. They’re the big boss, we’re just following behind taking some scraps."

Harter said humbly.

"I see."

Su Ming nodded.

At this moment, Su Yuan sighed and said.

"Sigh~ forget barbecue, I say we should go for a drink."

"Drinking? Are you thinking of going to a high-end club?"

Su Ming squinted his eyes and looked at Su Yuan with a smile.

"That’s right!"

"You want to book two beauties too?"

"Yes!"

"Heck no, don’t you see what today’s occasion is, I’ll allow you to drink, but dreaming of finding two beauties."

"Tch, you have two girls with you, not letting me find two...."

Su Yuan muttered softly.

"Hmm? What did you say?"

Su Ming stared at Su Yuan.

"Nothing, nothing, eating barbecue!"

Su Yuan was startled and quickly said.

"That’s more like it, but where should we eat? Plus, we don’t even know if our budget is enough!"

Su Ming pondered for a moment and said.

"Don’t worry, it will be enough. I know a place with pure natural barbecue, very affordable, we can definitely afford it. And with only seven of us, we can’t eat that much, at most twenty pounds."

An Ruoxue said with a cheerful smile.

"Alright, lead the way."

Su Ming readily agreed.

"This way!"

An Ruoxue then led Su Ming and the others toward the distance.

...

Tweny-some minutes later.

Su Ming and the others arrived at a restaurant called Walnut Family.

Through the glass, they saw the tables inside were already packed with guests.

"Why are there so many people? Didn’t you say it’s very expensive? Are people in Shabask Kingdom so rich?"

Su Yuan was dumbfounded.

"Look at the promotional ad at the entrance."

Su Ming pointed to the sign on the door.

Lin Chuyu and the others looked over, and found that the promotional ad at the door said, to celebrate the successful conclusion of the Star Storage event and the upcoming crowning of the new king, everything was half price!

"Half price, is the owner planning to make no money?"

Harter exclaimed.

"Even better, let’s go in quickly!"

An Ruoxue shouted happily.

"Alright!"

Su Ming led them inside.

...

Inside Walnut Family restaurant.

A woman with a voluptuous figure, wearing a tight-fitting retro red dress, with fair skin, lips as red as blossoms, adorned with a beauty mark by the side, carrying herself with irresistible charm, leaned against the counter.

At a nearby table, a group of men wearing Shabask military uniforms were eating barbecue and drinking, heartily enjoying themselves.

At the forefront of the group, a man wearing a captain’s uniform, with slightly dark skin, a rugged face, thick eyebrows full of masculine vigor, shouted to the boss lady.

"Sofelin, bring us another case of beer!"

"No problem."

Sofelin replied with a smile.

"Boss lady, our brother Ba Tu brought us all here to help your business, when are you going to make it official?"
