"Sir, these are appetizers. Please enjoy."
A waitress dressed in ancient costume and wearing a veil placed delicate dishes in front of Su Yi, but he was somewhat absent-minded, his mind filled with what Yue Ling had just said.
A pure gold pillar about three meters in diameter and more than ten meters high...
Wouldn't that be hundreds of cubic meters of gold?
The weight of one cubic meter of gold is roughly just over nineteen tons.
One hundred cubic meters...
Nineteen hundred tons of gold!
Holy crap!
Too little, the price I offered at the beginning was too low.
He never expected that Wei Wei would have so much gold, this is truly outrageous!
"Is gold commonplace in your world?" Su Yi asked doubtfully.
Yue Ling, who was eating, thought for a moment and nodded:
"Actually, it's not that common. It's very difficult for humans to mine gold. Even races like dwarves and goblins, who are good at mining, don't produce much gold."
"But we have a race of dragons. They are also an intelligent race, possessing extremely high intelligence and the most powerful physique in the world. This race loves shiny things, and gold is naturally one of them."
"The gold that various races find difficult to mine on the surface is not difficult for them to obtain. Most dragons are not afraid of fire, and they enter the deep underground through the lava of volcanoes. It is said that there are all kinds of gems and gold deep underground, and their gold comes from there."
"Many powerful people in our world are very enthusiastic about slaying dragons, not because these dragons have done anything that angers both gods and men... Of course, there are definitely dragons who have done things that anger both gods and men, but most of the dragons targeted by dragon slayers have not done these things. This race has a very long lifespan and is usually quite Buddhist, mostly staying in their caves to sleep."
"People are enthusiastic about slaying dragons simply because they covet the gold and gems that dragons bring up from the underground."
Yue Ling's words were unexpected to Su Yi.
Wait, shouldn't those dragons be the victims?
Shouldn't the normal plot be that dragons rely on their powerful physique and talent to do all kinds of evil, wreaking havoc, plundering gold, silver, and beauties, and then being taken down by a dragon-slaying hero who doesn't know where he came from, and finally the dragon-slaying hero gets the beauty and also gets a massive amount of treasure?
Now you're saying that the dragons' gold and silver treasures are all mined by themselves as coolies, drilling into volcanoes.
Those dragon-slaying heroes just killed people to rob them of their wealth?
Does this conform to the core values of your magical world?
Hearing Su Yi's question, Yue Ling said speechlessly:
"Why would dragons want human beauties? As for treasures, not to mention humans, the wealth of all other races in the entire world combined is not as much as dragons have."
"Some powerful human empires would enslave some dragons when they needed gold and silver treasures, and let them find gold and other treasures in the hell under the volcano."
"After all, dragons are solitary magical creatures. Not to mention forming a country in a group, they don't even have a tribe. It is not too difficult for any slightly larger race in our world to kill a dragon."
Good heavens, that's really miserable.
Su Yi twitched the corner of his mouth, mourned for a few seconds for this dragon race that sounded intimidating but could only be bullied, and then quickly said:
"I remember Wei Wei claimed to be a dragon slayer before, so her gold was obtained from that dragon?"
"She can slay dragons with her strength, you are even stronger than her, wouldn't you be able to kill dragons like crazy if you encountered them?"
"Uh..." A rare look of embarrassment appeared on Yue Ling's face.
Not embarrassed for herself, but embarrassed for her good bestie in the neighboring world.
"Actually, the sword saint of the Chi Yang Empire killed that dragon. Wei Wei just went to watch. The reason why she was given the title of dragon slayer is mainly because of her special status..."
Understood, a title obtained by hiring someone to boost her.
Su Yi immediately nodded to express his understanding.
...
During the process of the two chatting, exquisitely plated dishes were brought up one after another by beautiful waitresses in ancient costumes.
The taste is average, not unpleasant, but definitely not amazing.
This was not unexpected to Su Yi.
The main thing about eating in this kind of place is the atmosphere, what you eat is secondary.
It would be strange if it tasted good.
However, halfway through the meal, Yue Ling, who was chatting with Su Yi, suddenly said:
"There is someone sitting opposite us who has been looking at you."
"Looking at me?" Su Yi was stunned for a moment:
"Looking at you, right?"
Yue Ling's appearance is here, it is too normal for someone to stare at her when she goes out.
As for Su Yi himself... Although his handsomeness far exceeds Peng Yuyan, comparable to all the readers.
But what's so good about looking at a man.
"Is it a beauty?"
"It's a man."
"???"
"It's the one in white clothes to your right front, um, no need to look, he's getting up and coming over."
Su Yi looked in the direction Yue Ling pointed, and sure enough, he saw a young man in a moon-white scholar's robe getting up and walking towards this side.
However, this young man didn't seem to be staring at him as Yue Ling said, his eyes were always on Yue Ling, but he would glance at Su Yi from time to time.
I don't know what that means.
Su Yi narrowed his eyes, didn't speak, but continued to deal with the dishes on the plate, not paying too much attention to him.
Before long, the young man came to the two of them.
As expected, he didn't speak to Su Yi directly, but said very politely to Yue Ling:
"Beauty, you are so beautiful, can I add your WeChat?"
"I have a boyfriend." Yue Ling glanced at him, refusing indifferently.
"It doesn't matter, just be a normal friend, it doesn't matter whether you have a boyfriend or not." The man still said to himself, seemingly unable to feel the rejection in Yue Ling's words, while ignoring Su Yi beside her.
But the corner of his eye had been sizing up Su Yi's expression.
"I refuse." Yue Ling shook her head again.
"You..."
"Buddy, it's impolite to keep pestering, right." Su Yi said lightly.
"Is this your girlfriend? Brother, you are so lucky." The man seemed to notice Su Yi's existence at this time, and said with a smile:
"Let your girlfriend add me on WeChat, I work for a media company, with her image, as long as she comes to our company, whether she takes the internet celebrity route or debuts as a star, she will definitely be a hit."
"Brother, you must not delay her future."
"You are disturbing our meal." Su Yi suddenly interrupted him.
The chattering man was stunned, and then smiled:
"So what?"
Su Yi put the chopsticks on the table, and slowly wiped his mouth with a paper towel, then smiled at him:
"So, you should go to hell."
"Let him die far away, don't get in my way."
