Chapter 920: Night City's Hero Ranking and the Beautiful Blizzard
Chapter 920: Night City's Hero Ranking and the Beautiful Blizzard
Night City was indifferent to the prospect of improving his hero ranking, and he even considered dropping down to the B-Class Hero rank to relax and do nothing.
However, Night City didn't care, and Snow and Venom, who successfully defeated the Phantom-Class Monster Centipede Elder, were thrilled.
Especially Blizzard, who, upon learning from President Xichi, became even more excited at the possibility of another rank increase.
Don't forget that due to her association with Night City and the merits she gained, Blizzard was already the second-ranked A-Class Hero.
The top-ranked A-Class Hero, 'Sweet Mask,' possessed S-Class strength and chose to remain in the A-Class position, intending to be the gatekeeper for S-Class Heroes.
With Blizzard's hero ranking on the rise, she couldn't take the top A-Class spot from 'Sweet Mask.' Her only option was to enter the S-Class Hero ranks!
It was common knowledge that the gap between S-Class and A-Class Heroes was immense, and the S-Class Heroes, the highest-ranked in the Hero Association, numbered only 18 to date.
The S-Class Heroes were the embodiment of "Strongest Heroes." The thought of ascending to the S-Class and being in the same rank as her sister, "Trembling Cyclone," almost made Blizzard giddy with excitement.
Blizzard's joy today wasn't without reason; she was arguably the biggest winner of D City's commotion.
First, she gained substantial financial rewards, and second, the 'Snowflake Squad's' fame and prestige soared as they defeated a Dragon-Class Monster. The rumors of Night City leaving the squad were naturally dispelled.
Lastly, her own achievements and calm leadership during the incident also presented her with a chance for promotion.
Fame, wealth, and status—Blizzard had won a grand slam this time. Night City's recent crude behavior seemed insignificant to her given her good mood.
"Waiter, bring me ten more of these battle-axe steaks and a pair of chopsticks. Your forks and knives are cumbersome; it's just a few bites, and you insist on cutting them up, which is a hassle."
Night City's uncouth words once again drew attention in the restaurant, while Blizzard, sitting across from him, quickly lowered her head. She even regretted bringing Night City to this Western restaurant.
"Sir, I apologize, but our steaks are of the finest quality, so each customer is limited to one order.
If you don't mind, you can order other grades of steak or choose from our other dishes..."
As a high-end restaurant, the staff maintained excellent service. Although they were exasperated by Night City's use of chopsticks in a Western restaurant, there was no condescending behavior.
After ruining over ten premium steaks, Night City managed to eat enough to be six-tenths full. Since sharing the power of the Dragon Ball World, his appetite had increased significantly.
"I must say, this Western restaurant's food is delicious, despite the small portions. I might visit again."
Hearing Night City, Blizzard, sitting beside him, sighed with exasperation, "After this, we're probably on their blacklist, and you're thinking of coming back?
Honestly, I loved their Western cuisine, and I've dined here several times. Now the owner thinks I'm a rival restaurant's troublemaker."
Blizzard had never felt so embarrassed. She and Night City were essentially asked to leave indirectly.
Despite being treated with such rudeness, Hellblizzard was initially quite upset. But upon recalling Night City's various antics, she understood why the restaurant staff would act this way, and it didn't seem strange anymore.
As one of the most luxurious Western restaurants in City A, Night City's behavior of using chopsticks to flamboyantly show off his steak in the restaurant indeed lowered the overall class of the establishment.
Moreover, Night City's showboating speed was even faster than the chef's cooking speed. He ordered over ten servings in one go, and most other customers just watched him show off throughout.
What's more outrageous was that while eating, Night City didn't forget his two good brothers at home. He called over a waiter and asked for 30 more servings of steak to go.
The restaurant was clearly a high-end Western restaurant, but Night City made it feel like a street-side snack bar.
Not only did Night City show off with over ten steaks, but he also wanted to take away 30 more servings. Was he planning to resell them?
Not to mention whether the restaurant had that many high-quality steaks, but if Night City insisted on doing this, how could they continue their business?
It was for this reason that Hellblizzard subtly indicated that their steaks were sold out, and to get rid of such a jinx quickly, the boss even painfully offered Night City and his group a free meal, politely escorting them to the entrance.
Night City, on the other hand, was raving about the restaurant's service. Hellblizzard, who was used to high-end places, knew that it was all just for show. She realized that they were probably already on the restaurant's blacklist.
They couldn't get the high-end steaks, so Night City and Hellblizzard ordered 50,000 yen worth of food, intending to get premium takeout for Baldy.
With an online appointment, Hellblizzard didn't refuse. She even felt that 50,000 yen was quite a bargain, considering the premium steaks Night City had wasted at the Western restaurant earlier. If they had to pay for those, it would be an astronomical sum.
Watching Hellblizzard generously take out five 10,000-yen bills, Night City casually found a cheap diner and got over ten servings of 500-yen omelette rice for Baldy.
As for the remaining money... it naturally went into Night City's pocket. Of course, this was typical of him. If it were Baldy Saitama, that guy would probably be even more shameless.
Hellblizzard, standing by, witnessed Night City holding the takeout box of omelette rice and casually haggling with the fat boss, eventually getting a 6,000-yen discount down to 5,000 yen. She couldn't help but be speechless.
"You said you were getting premium food, and this is it?" Back at home, when Night City handed the takeout box of omelette rice to Baldy, the latter seemed quite dissatisfied.
After all, Hellblizzard had promised them premium food, but how did it suddenly turn into omelette rice...
"You're clueless. This is golden omelette rice from a high-end Western restaurant in City A, prepared by a star chef. Each serving costs 5,000 yen.
The chef was initially unwilling to cook so many, but I begged him for a long time before he reluctantly agreed."
In high-end restaurants, golden omelette rice is quite famous. Baldy, you haven't been to those places, have you?"
Baldy, who had been skeptical, heard Night City's words and felt he couldn't lose face in front of his shameless friend. So, he immediately started pounding his chest, saying, "Golden omelette rice... I've heard of it, and the taste... is exactly like the one at that high-end restaurant I went to."
