Chapter 12: The Bet

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Eula had been pampered ever since she was born. She was treated like a precious pearl in the family. Her parents doted on her and her sister cared for her tremendously. All that while, she had never eaten food that was sold by the roadside.

“I feel disgusted when I see junk food like that especially from a person like you.”

After Faye heard this, she took into account the relationship between the Meister family and the Lin family then immediately berated, “Eula, how can you talk like that?”

“Isn’t that right? I thought all that talk about the young master of the Lin family being a disgrace was nothing but a rumor. After seeing him today, I can discern for myself that he truly is trash. He was clearly born in a prominent family, yet he doesn’t even look like a noble.”

Those few words instantly caused Lin Qi’s expression to change.

He took a deep breath and said indifferently, “Then as a noble, shouldn’t you know how to hold your tongue. The way you speak is quite vulgar don’t you think? May I also add that you look nothing like a noble yourself?”

Clang!

After Eula heard that, she immediately pulled out the longsword at her waist and pointed it at Lin Qi. “If you dare say another word, I’ll cut your tongue out!”

Looking at the gleaming steel sword in front of him, Lin Qi did not even flinch. He sighed softly and said. “Your hands are still trembling...”

Eula had used up all her strength so her arms trembled when she raised the sword.

“Ah, you guys...” Faye was also in a difficult position.

Lewis hoped that things would escalate so that he could witness Lin Qi being beaten to the ground.

However, in the next second, Lin Qi heated up the steak. He took it out and raised it up. He said to Eula, “Why don’t you see for yourself the extent of the stamina-recovering properties of my Grilled Steak!”

“Nonsense, do you think that I have never used an artifact to restore my strength before?”

“No, but this is different. This is a real dish that is capable of restoring your strength!”

No one believed what he had said. Lin Qi continued, “How about this? I see that you’re itching to give me a beating so I’ll give you a chance!”

“What chance?”

“Let’s make a bet. Try my steak. If it really works, you owe me a favor. If it doesn’t work, I’ll kneel down and you can hit me all you want!”

His voice was not loud, but it could be heard by everyone in the crowd. Everyone refused to believe that Lin Qi would actually place such a big bet.

That bet would cost the image of the Lin family. If he really knelt down and was beaten up by a girl from the Meister family, the Lin family would lose face if the word got out!

Of course, without the absolute confidence in winning, Lin Qi would never have placed such a bet.

“What? You’re not doubting yourself, are you?” Lin Qi deliberately provoked.

As expected, the hot-tempered Eula bit her red lips. “Not one bit!”

“Then it’s a deal!”

“It’s a deal!”

Then, Eula immediately took Lin Qi’s steak. However, the moment she took it, the steamy steak emitted a mouth-watering smell, which was much more appetizing than the steak in the fancy restaurant her family frequented.

Without hesitation, she took a bite and tasted it carefully.

The meat was tender and juicy in her mouth, and she noticed that honey was added to the steak. It tasted divine, and she could feel a surge of energy in her stomach once she swallowed it.

After she took the first bite, she immediately wanted to take another one. Everyone watched as she took one bite after another until she finished the whole steak, and her mouth was full of honey.

Lin Qi could not help but laugh.

How could a noble act so carefree like that?

He took a deep breath and then asked her, “What do you think? Now, try pulling out your sword!”

Eula admitted that the steak tasted very good, but was it really effective in restoring her physical strength?

She narrowed her eyes and pulled out her sword in an instant. At that moment, the steel sword was pointed straight at Lin Qi. Her arm did not tremble, her whole body was filled with power instead.

“This... This is amazing!”

Eula could not believe it. It was just a piece of meat, but she had really recovered all her strength.

“What kind of steak is this?”

Lin Qi raised his hand and shook his head. “This is my secret recipe. I won’t disclose it to anyone. Anyway, you believe me now, right?”

Eula quickly nodded. From her eyes, anyone could tell that she wanted to eat more.

“Since you believe it, then it proves that you’ve lost!”

Everyone was in disbelief. What kind of food did Lin Qi sell that could even restore one’s physical strength?

“I...”

Only now did it dawn upon Eula that she had actually lost. That simple steak actually contained such powerful properties.

Faye, who watched from the side, was also in disbelief. Her gaze fell on Lin Qi, and the corners of her mouth curled up into a wide smile.

The young master of the Lin family seemed to be quite interesting.

“You agreed that if you lose, you would have to help me!”

Eula immediately took a step back and said, “First off... Let me make it clear. I won’t kill anyone or start any fires, and also... I won’t betray...”

“Okay, enough! There’s no need for that!”

Lin Qi sighed helplessly. “I just want you to help me promote my stall. All you have to do is attract customers. Do you understand?”

“Attract customers?” Faye asked skeptically.

“Yes, Miss Faye. If you have nothing else to do, can you help me advertise as well? I know there are many nobles in this city that are very generous!”

No one knew why Lin Qi was so determined to make money.

In any case, the two sisters of the Meister family were now in Lin Qi’s hands.

Although Eula had a bad temper and was arrogant, since she had lost, she could not go back on her word.

“Okay... But I’ll only help you promote it for one day!”

Lin Qi was secretly delighted. ‘With your beautiful legs standing here, wouldn’t I be able to seduce those noble young masters?’

Just like that, Eula became the spokesperson of Lin Qi’s stall. Just by standing there, many noble young masters came to visit.

In just one afternoon, almost everyone in the city had eaten Lin Qi’s steak and sweet potatoes.

Lin Qi saw the fruits of his labor today. In just one day, he had already reached one-third of the requirements for upgrading the system. In two or three days, he would be able to raise enough money to level up.

In the evening, Eula panted. “Alright, I’ve already garnered enough people for you. Can I go back now?”

Lin Qi waved his hand and said, “Alright, you may leave... Wait!”

Eula did not know what Lin Qi was doing. She saw Lin Qi give her a delicately prepared steak along with a knife and fork.

“Thank you for your hard work this afternoon. I’ll give you this plate of food with a knife and fork. Is it elegant enough for a noble?”

Although Eula did not acknowledge it, she had recognized Lin Qi as a good person in her heart.

As for Lin Qi, he still thinks she is a little annoying but she had improved a little compared to earlier.

“Your name is Lin Qi, right?” Eula asked.

Lin Qi nodded. He could see that her eyes seemed to be filled with a bright light. Although he did not know what it meant, it probably was not hostility.

“I’ll remember you!”

Eula did not eat the steak.. Instead, she turned around coldly and left.
