Chapter 69 I have a better appetite
"Ah~"

Sighing and putting the inexplicable sadness behind him, Zhu Haomiao went out and bought a lot of pet snacks for Diao Chan, and put them in the refrigerator according to categories.

"Horse tendons and beef tendons are for you to grind your teeth, stop chewing my slippers!!"

"Gee~"

"Salmon is very expensive, you are only allowed to eat one bag a day!"

"grumble!"

"I bought you a water dispenser. Four liters of pure water is enough for you to swim. If you dare to sniff the water in the toilet again, I will strangle you to death!"

"Gee~"

"By the way, remember to flush the toilet after using it. You forgot to flush it last time!"

"Gee~~"

Zhu Haomiao tapped the mink's pink little nose and gave it a lot of instructions, but when he was leaving, he saw it hugging his trouser legs with tears in its eyes, and he still felt a little reluctant.

"Don't be clingy, I'll be back in a day or two at most, just stay home and play!"

After picking up Diao Chan and rubbing it for a while, Zhu Haomiao threw it back on the bed and left the dormitory without looking back.

Arriving at the headquarters' [Boundary Gate], the crowd was obviously much more relaxed this time, and Zhu Haomiao entered the main building smoothly after waiting in line for a short time.

"Zhu Haomiao, you are expected to leave in 60 seconds, please get ready."

After hearing the instructions on the radio, Zhu Haomiao took a deep breath and stepped into the door with familiarity.

Passing through the chaotic film of illusion and reality, after a brief feeling of dizziness and weightlessness, Zhu Haomiao opened his eyes and found himself in the bathroom of the hotel.

Blinking his eyes, looking at his dark outfit, and connecting it with his previous memories, the boy walked out of the bathroom and left the suite.

But as soon as he opened the door, he was met by the butler who was about to knock on the door.

"Mr. Zhu, you finally came out!!!"

Looking at the housekeeper who was about to cry but had no tears, Zhu Haomiao pursed his lips subtly.

"How long have I slept?"

"Two weeks! Two whole weeks!!"

Do you know how I spent the past two weeks?

Seeing the butler excitedly holding up two fingers, Zhu Haomiao nodded calmly.

"I know, calm down."

Hearing the young man's calm response, as if he had not slept for two weeks without eating or drinking, but just took a two-hour nap, the white-haired butler had thousands of words in his heart, but in the end, they could only turn into a bitter sigh.

"You're fine."

"Oh, by the way, can you take orders from outside?"

When it came to business, the butler perked up and answered politely.

"We have cooperation with all the big restaurants in Shanghai. I can help you make reservations for anything you want to eat."

"Well, please go to [Xinghualou] and order a set meal for me. Just tell me my name and they will make it for me and send it to my room when it's ready."

"As ordered."

Watching the butler retreat respectfully, Zhu Haomiao returned to his room, holding his flat stomach. Looking at the skyline of the Magic City outside the window, all kinds of random thoughts began to emerge in his mind.

If I take advantage of the current prices and buy a few thousand acres of land around the Bund, wouldn't I be rich in a hundred years?

Or just take over Pudong directly?
Illogical thoughts were swirling in his mind for an unknown amount of time before Zhu Haomiao heard a knock on the door behind him and answered softly.

"Come in." The door opened, and the butler and a group of waiters came in with food carts, and skillfully set a table of delicious food in the restaurant.

"Mr. Zhu, I told you your name and repeatedly emphasized that you were the only one here, but they still prepared so many dishes and said that you would definitely be able to finish them..."

Seeing the housekeeper's embarrassed look, Zhu Haomiao smiled nonchalantly.

"It's like this, I have a better appetite."

The butler's eyelids twitched. Looking at the large table of dishes that was enough for 20 people, he smiled dryly and nodded in agreement.

"Then enjoy your meal."

"Ah."

After the butler and waiter left, Zhu Haomiao sat down at the main seat and ate slowly, suppressing his desire to "gluttony". It took him two or three hours to finish all the delicious dishes on the table.

"【Gluttony】+10, 【Tao Heart】+1"

uh~
Stretching with satisfaction, Zhu Haomiao discovered that after the upgrade of [Dao Heart], the suppression of original sin in the fantasy realm became even stronger.

I easily ate several times more food than my usual limit without feeling any strain at all!
After asking the butler to clean up the restaurant, Zhu Haomiao sensed the amount of nutrients stored in the four-dimensional stomach and gave him serious instructions.

"I need to rest for a while, please don't disturb me."

Hearing this, the white-haired butler's eyelids jumped and he looked at Zhu Haomiao in horror.

Without words, his wonderful facial expressions fully expressed his inner panic.

Do you still want to "rest"?
You've had two full weeks of "rest"!
Aren’t you afraid of mold?

But no matter how reluctant he was, his professional ethics did not allow him to question the client, so he could only nod respectfully.

"As you command, have a good rest."

After sending the outsiders away, Zhu Haomiao locked the door as usual, returned to the bedroom, took off his clothes, and lay down comfortably in bed.

Eat and drink enough, [laziness]! Start!

Supernatural authority descended quietly, and Zhu Haomiao's clear consciousness quickly became blurred. Gray and white silk threads that were invisible to the human eye emerged from the void and wrapped around him like a living thing, forming a huge illusory cocoon.

A mysterious transformation that was imperceptible to others quietly started. The heartbeat and breathing of the sleeping boy became softer and softer, and finally he fell into absolute tranquility like a dead object.

While Zhu Haomiao was sleeping soundly, his impact on the world continued to ferment.

........................

"So...you're saying this thing is still alive?"

In the police station of the International Settlement, a group of people looked at the huge evil and weird cocoon with expressions as ugly as if they had eaten shit.

A Taoist priest extinguished the talisman in his hand, the mysterious light in his eyes slowly disappeared, and he shook his head.

"It can't really be called 'alive'. It can only be said that there are still signs of life, but the soul and consciousness are probably melted long ago..."

Several officials with rat-tail hair and the blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigner looked at each other, and finally asked with gritted teeth.

"Master, can you tell what demon is causing this trouble?"

The Taoist thought for a moment and shook his head decisively.

"It's too weird, I've never seen it before."

"I said these ignorant Qing people are useless. We still need to ask the priest to come and take a look!"

Several foreigners were whispering in English, and a young servant quickly and quietly left the room and headed straight for the nearest church.

But before they could come to a conclusion, a constable with a braided hair rushed into the room and approached them with a panicked look on his face.
