Infinite Divine Gears in the City

Chapter 14

“Wait, excuse me.”

Li Rui stopped the waiter.

The lady chuckled to herself, mocking his overconfidence.

As the saying goes, ‘you will suffer if you don’t listen to the wise man’s words!’

Scared now?

There were still some cold dishes that hadn’t been served, and there are still hundreds of other dishes!

Along with the snacks and desserts, this amount could feed at least dozens of people!

But she did not show any signs of dissatisfaction on her face. She turned around and replied with a smile, “What can I do for you?”

“Please take away these plates; they’re getting in the way. Also, please give me another two pounds of white rice and two jugs of fresh juice.”

The waitress froze. She wasn’t aware that Li Rui had already finished some of the dishes.

There wasn’t a single drop of oil or water left on the plate, and it was so clean that it was as if it had been licked by a dog!

She took some of the plates with trembling hands, and she had a frightened look on her face as she saw how Li Rui was finishing up all of the dishes on the table like a storm.

His cheeks were completely stuffed with food, and in an instant, another plate was already empty. The time that Li Rui needed to finish the dishes was even faster than the time it took for them to be served.

The waitresses who were coming back and forth to his table caught the attention of the other guests in the restaurant.

Fortunately, this was a relatively high-end restaurant and most of the customers were well-mannered. They just occasionally looked at Li Rui’s table with wide eyes.

OMG!

Where did this hungry ghost come from?

This is the first time in my life that I have even seen someone who can eat so much food!

About half an hour later, the waitress stared at Li Rui with glowing eyes. She then took out her phone, secretly took a picture, and posted it on her story.

About an hour later, the restaurant’s manager stood next to Li Rui and was personally serving him. He seemed to be very interested in Li Rui.

But by this time, the hunger in him had already died down. Li Rui had slowed down his eating speed and was no longer swallowing his food without chewing.

“This beef is a little overcooked but the sushi is pretty good. Hmm? The quality of the Japanese food is not bad. Looks like the chef that you hired actually has some skills up his sleeves!”

Each dish served had different markings which represented the chef that had prepared it and Li Rui could clearly taste the differences between the dishes.

“Burp~”

After finishing the watermelon juice, Li Rui gave a satisfactory burp and walked to the toilet.

The manager gave a signal to a man dressed in casual clothes who was standing not far away. The man nodded and followed Li Rui into the toilet.

Surprisingly, Li Rui didn’t walk into the cubicles. Instead, he went straight to the urinals.

The sound of rushing water shocked the man but he immediately pretended as if nothing had happened and also went to the urinals.

Li Rui looked at the other empty urinals with a head full of questions.

There are so many other urinals here, why does this dumba**?have to stand directly next to me?

Li Rui’s eyes twitched a little but was no longer bothered by it and continued letting go of the extra fluid in his body.

However, the man standing next to him was extremely curious.

He looked to the side and immediately withdrew his gaze. He stared into the void right in front of him and withstood the shock of his ‘little’ life.

F**k!

Negativity +9999999!

After struggling through that phobia, the man shivered and finished his business.

Then, he suddenly stopped.

The sound of water splashing was still going on and there were no signs of stopping.

S**t, he came before me but is leaving after me.

My pride has gone down the drain?

He embarrassingly remained standing in the same spot even though there wasn’t a single drop of water coming out even if he used all of the energy in his body. Instead, he remained fully focused on the slogans on the wall, trying his best to ignore Li Rui’s glare.

The man had never noticed that the slogan in the toilet of his restaurant was so annoying and his face turned completely dark.

Li Rui, who was standing next to him, frowned in confusion.

He mumbled to himself, quickly finished his business as well, washed his hands, and walked out of the toilet.

As soon as Li Rui left the room, the man standing there gave out a long breath.

…

“Little Brother Rui, you are the only one who has managed to finish everything on our menu. Is it possible for you to leave your number? So that we can inform you about any of our activities in the future.”

“Hehe, sure. As long as you aren’t disgusted by me.”

Li Rui rubbed the back of his head as he knew that his way of eating had been a little unreasonable.

“Haha, I’m definitely not afraid of having customers like you. Maintaining a customer’s satisfaction is our policy. We only care about whether our customers enjoyed the food that we served; we aren’t bothered about how much they eat.”

The manager waved his hands around with pride.

Li Rui gave him a thumbs-up upon hearing those words.

The customers around him who had heard the manager’s words secretly nodded as well and subconsciously had a good impression of the restaurant.

“Why don’t you follow us on social media as well? We’ll give you a gold-card membership. Every time you decide to have a meal here, we’ll give you a 10% discount, including birthdays, holidays, or any special occasions.”

As he noticed the sincerity in the manager’s eyes, Li Rui finally decided to follow the restaurant on social media.

Usually speaking, shouldn’t he have been blacklisted?

Why isn’t this manager playing by the rules?

Li Rui walked out of the restaurant confused, but he was so full and satiated that he quickly forgot about this.

The warm feeling in his stomach and the happiness from a full stomach was spreading all over his body.

Eating is the most basic need for survival.

But it is also the simplest source of happiness.

When you are starving, a few hot buns will be able to make you feel like the happiest person on earth.

As the food in his stomach was being digested, the energy that had been absorbed flowed throughout his body and Li Rui couldn’t help but smile.

He could finally have a full meal when hungry. This was a sense of happiness that he had never felt before since birth.

But this could be easily understood. No matter if it was this life or the life before this, he would always eat whenever he wanted to and had never experienced real hunger.

It was probably only because there was something wrong with the system that it had given him the experience of being starved.

Just now when he was in the car, he had really wanted to tear off the leather cushion and eat it!

After thinking about the system, Li Rui’s face turned dark.

“What was with the hunger just now?”

System: “Because your body has undergone minor injuries, there was a large amount of undigested extra health points. Therefore, your body decided that you would need a large amount of energy for recovery. The hungry feeling was just a reminder for you to eat. However, because of your skill [Feast], the hunger was amplified by a little bit.”

A little bit?! I almost wanted to eat a human!

Li Rui rolled his eyes and immediately thought of something. He lifted up his clothes and saw that the eight-pack on his abdomen was like a piece of steel armor. He blinked his eyes in disbelief.

“System, where did all of the food go? I thought you said that quality energy could be conserved? This isn’t scientific at all!”

There had been at least a dozen kilograms of food that he had eaten in the past few hours; it was impossible for all that food to fit into his stomach!
