"Student Bachel, you can just lead us to the corridor where the Magic King's Granted Restaurant is located, then go attend your normal class. After the second class ends, come find us again to continue guiding us. Whether it's difficulty level 2 or 3 classrooms, I'll help you pass them all."

Lanqi looked at Bachel, his tone gentle but unable to conceal the confident gleam in his eyes.

Bachel clearly didn't want to spend his precious credit coins either, as for a student walking the line of being discouraged from continuing, every surplus credit coin was extremely valuable.

"Yes, yes of course," Bachel hastily bowed to Lanqi in gratitude.

Even during the time he had passed out in the music classroom, this luminous demon hadn't tried to take his two credit coins.

What Bachel feared most was being targeted or enslaved by powerful higher demons.

In this world, the weak were often prey.

However, interacting with Lanqi, who was clearly powerful, surprised Bachel. Though this luminous demon was terrifying, his high rationality revealed a kind of reasonableness uncommon among demons.

Demons with such qualities were often the highest-ranking and most fearsome.

But correspondingly, as long as you didn't actively provoke them, they wouldn't bother to target weak demons.

Next.

Bachel fully entered his tour guide mode again, using his respectful voice with a sense of certainty to begin leading Lanqi and Huberrian to their new destination.

After about ten minutes, the scene before them gradually changed, transforming from the infernal educational corridors into an elegant and leisurely indoor architectural environment.

Arriving in the functional area, the air in the corridors was fresh, as if compared to the dark classroom hallways from earlier, it was a completely different world.

Here, the aura of the black abyss didn't seem as strong, replaced instead by a more pure tranquility.

"This is where you wanted to go. I'll come find you during the next class break," Bachel bowed goodbye to Lanqi.

His voice carried a hint of relief, as if completing an arduous task.

"Alright, take care," Lanqi responded, waving as he watched Bachel's figure disappear around the corridor's corner.

Then, he and Huberrian walked together down this corridor bathed in soft crimson light, soon clearly seeing the [Magic King's Granted Restaurant] with its floor-to-ceiling glass walls.

This name seemed to promise them a noble-like experience.

[Time Remaining: 9 hours 36 minutes]

[...]

[Challengers Lanqi & Huberrian are in s02 corridor, Magic King's Granted Restaurant]

Passing through the automatic rotating glass doors, they could see the restaurant's overall interior decoration adopted a high-quality pure black style, with details full of unconventional and ingenious small rebellions—for instance, the branches and stones on the tables, upon closer inspection, were actually parts of the tableware.

The large floor-to-ceiling windows made the suspended view outside the Inferno Corridor Academy the restaurant's background, and only here did they finally discover that this school was a corridor castle built above the inferno.

When night fell, points of starlight seemed to reflect on the dining tables, giving people an absurd yet beautifully dreamlike feeling.

"Guests, please look at this first," the demon server handed them a carefully crafted black leather guide while leading them to their seats.

The guide's cover had unique diamond patterns, with a faint leather scent that seemed to carry a flavor of the old world.

Lanqi turned his attention to the text on the cover.

Several lines of elegant text were arranged on it, these were the guidelines for the Magic King's Granted Restaurant.

[No improper dress in the restaurant]

[No fighting, quarreling, or causing trouble]

[No pets, summoned beasts, or familiars allowed]

[No dine and dash]

[No insulting other customers]

[Violators will be executed by the restaurant manager]

[If you experience any unpleasant encounters due to other customers' violations, the restaurant will provide compensation]

The embossed text was neatly arranged on the cover.

"This is indeed very demon realm style," Lanqi couldn't help but remark to Huberrian beside him.

He had to admit, immediate execution for violations had resulted in quite excellent etiquette and atmosphere in the demon realm.

"Indeed," Huberrian nodded.

You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.

She felt she could gradually start adapting to the demon realm's rhythm, not because she had half demon blood, but because being around Lanqi, who was more local than the local demons, had influenced her to adapt rapidly.

The restaurant's lighting was soft, with a rich dining aroma floating in the air.

At this time, only a few scattered students sat in various corners of the restaurant, heads lowered looking at menus or quietly waiting for their dishes to arrive.

Each silhouette added a unique atmosphere to the restaurant.

After Lanqi and Huberrian had been looking at the menu for some time.

The demon server who had received them approached them again with an apologetic smile.

"I'm sorry for being somewhat slow due to being too busy, please forgive us," the server sincerely apologized to them, her attitude notably respectful toward Lanqi with his teacher status.

"It's alright," Lanqi said, holding an exquisite menu in his hands, his fingers gently sliding across the paper as his gaze swept over the text and images on each page, trying to understand the characteristics and flavors of each dish.

Finally, his gaze stopped on one page.

This Magic King's Granted Restaurant had combined demon realm style with local infernal ingredients to create a unique new-style demon realm cuisine.

Although he didn't really recognize the specific demon realm ingredient names, this attribute-enhancing dish looked like charcoal-grilled potato balls and smoked eel, with sauce similar to smoked onion sauce and eel clear soup, finally garnished with dill oil for a touch of freshness.

There was also a dark chocolate soufflé, presumably the finale dessert, looking like fluffy warm dark chocolate soufflé with crystalline custard sauce, which must have an alternating hot and cold texture, rich yet light.

The two limited dishes were must-orders, priced at 5 credit coins each, able to enhance Huberrian's attack attributes, allowing her to reach fourth-level combat power tonight.

This way, with a super fighter capable of matching the Shadow World's rank, their room for operation would be greater.

Other dishes that were merely delicious without any additional effects weren't so expensive, they could order some depending on the situation.

However.

Seemingly noticing Lanqi's intention, the demon server's face showed a hint of trouble, her melodious voice carrying an undisguisable regret:

"Sir, these two items have already sold out today."

"Are all the limited dishes gone?" Lanqi's brows furrowed slightly, confusion appearing on his face.

It was only just after the first class break, how had the limited dishes sold out so quickly?

What puzzled him more was that in the seemingly spacious and luxurious restaurant, there were only a few customers, yet the servers appeared so busy.

The demon server nodded helplessly, explaining to Lanqi:

"They're gone, and there aren't many ingredients left for regular dishes either, currently we only have..."

As she spoke, she carefully pointed out the dishes that were still available on the menu.

Lanqi was puzzled internally.

Looking around the restaurant.

He quickly discovered the source of the problem—

At a luxurious long table sat a rather eye-catching demon.

His silver-white hair seemed decorated with stars, emanating an aristocratic elegance and coldness.

However.

In that almost negligible, glancing moment, one could feel the undisguised pickiness and dissatisfaction in his eyes.

The restaurant's servers, like ants bearing heavy burdens, busily circled around him, with one exquisite dish after another being delivered to his table.

Yet, the silver-haired demon would only slightly lower his head, casually pick up a fork or spoon, lightly taste one or two bites before furrowing his brows, pushing the plate aside with an extremely dissatisfied expression.

The food would then be taken away by the servers and dumped directly into the trash.

Those discarded dishes had hardly been truly enjoyed, the servers' busyness and his pickiness forming a stark contrast.

All demons were looking for their next instructions in the silver-haired demon's glances and gestures, like hamsters being chased in circles, overwhelmingly busy.

Even the restaurant manager had to come to his table, accepting his sharp criticism and accusations.

Lanqi silently observed his dining behavior, seeming somewhat unhappy.

This direct stare quickly caught the silver-haired demon's attention.

The silver-haired demon turned his head, his gaze meeting Lanqi's for a moment, as piercing as ice.

Then, the demon's eyes revealed a hint of displeasure, seemingly dissatisfied with Lanqi's stare.

His lips curved slightly downward, forming a stern arc, while letting out a contemptuous snort.

The silver-haired demon's gaze swept over Lanqi and Huberrian, as if appraising two cheap goods, his expression full of disdain.

Then, he pointed to the restaurant manager beside him, gesturing him to come over.

Following that, he said in a calm voice:

"However many high-grade ingredients you have today, I'm ordering them all."

The domineering aura in his words, just like his aristocratic air, was impossible to ignore.

Obviously, he wanted to demonstrate their absolute difference in status to Lanqi and Huberrian, while also depriving them of the opportunity to enjoy fine dining.

It seemed that because of Lanqi's earlier glance, he had decided not to allow these two discourteous demons to enjoy food of the same caliber as his today.

However, Lanqi still frowned slightly while looking at the silver-haired demon's long table, without speaking.

"Lanqi, let it go," Huberrian said gently, seemingly wanting to resolve Lanqi's troubles.

She was quite certain that this silver-haired student with an absurdly excessive amount of credit coins was definitely not someone to be trifled with.

In this kind of functional area, there was almost no room for physical confrontation.

According to Lanqi's most skilled tactics of mockery plus love poet strategy, or silencing plus controlling speech strategy, neither would work in this restaurant where summons were prohibited.

Silence enveloped the space between the silver-haired demon's and Lanqi's distant tables. Lanqi seemed to have heard Huberrian's advice, his gaze moving away from the silver-haired demon's table to look at Huberrian's face instead.

"Saving food and eliminating waste requires everyone's joint effort," Lanqi finally spoke,

"We should consciously promote the fine virtue of frugality and thrift, establish the concept that saving is honorable and waste is shameful, increase advocacy for practicing economy and opposing waste, and strive to create a good social atmosphere of civilized dining and rational consumption."

Lanqi earnestly explained these values to Huberrian.

Huberrian: "..."

She felt that.

While there was nothing wrong with Lanqi's thoughts.

But coming from his mouth, it somehow had a hint of dark humor to it.

Because this person's understanding of virtues and such things was somewhat unique, to say the least!
