Chapter 114 - The New Direction for the Ultimate Skill—Heightening (2/2)

“Fined?” Qin Fen smiled. This little bit of jam and bread was really nothing to him, but then he saw the waitress’s awkward expression, and he stuffed a failed piece of work into his mouth.

One slice… two slices… three slices… five slices… thirty slices…

The waitress’s eyes were about to pop out of her head just from watching. She worked here for nearly a year, but she never saw someone who could eat as much as Qin Fen. Qin Fen ate thirty slices so far and showed no signs of being full.

Thirty-five slices were completely annihilated, and Qin Fen slowly picked up his thirty-sixth slice of bread. Xue Tian had initially been watching the lively scene with enthusiasm, but now there was an additional wrinkle of surprise on his forehead.

He’s training his control! He already has enormous control over his power, but he still feels like it isn’t enough! Xue Tian’s usual frivolous expression had already vanished from the face of the earth. In its place was an expression of vexation and admiration.

“Sigh…. why don’t you let people live life….” Xue Tian howled in grief. “You are already so talented and you’re so hard working. This guy knows already. Do you want to kill me or something?”

Xue Tian picked up a slice of bread as well. He copied Qin Fen in smearing jam on the bread.

The restaurant waitress gaped as she watched. Were these two young men really eating breakfast? It would take a normal person not even a dozen seconds to smear jam on a slice of bread, yet these two spent five minutes, six minutes, seven minutes smearing jam on their bread. And they were smearing slower and slower.

Such movements didn’t appear like that of smearing jam. Instead, their movements were like that when creating a grand piece of art.

The simple breakfast took the two young men a total of four hours to eat.

Every waiter and waitress of the restaurant were stupefied watching them. These two young men ate their bread and jam totally immersed in the world of smearing jam.

Every person who came to the restaurant for lunch looked at Qin Fen and Xue Tian with sidelong glances. These two young men were still eating bread and jam for lunch.

Qin Fen’s entire body and mind were cast into the training of control over power. Qin Fen didn’t sense the passage of time from breakfast to lunch at all.

Ding…

The metal spoon for spreading jam clanged against the bottom of the glass of jam, letting out a crisp sound. The sound drew Qin Fen and Xue Tian from their immersion and back to the normal world.

They were out of jam…

Qin Fen looked at the bread and jam next to Xue Tian, and Xue Tian looked at the bread and jam next to himself as well.

The two locked gazes and smiled. Though none of them had reached their desired result in this morning’s training on control over power resulted in failure, the training wasn’t a complete waste.

The surface of bread was already an uneven surface. To spread the jam evenly on the bread was far more difficult than one could imagine.

The restaurant’s waitresses and waiters still stood beside them. They looked at the two with awkward gazes.

Four hours of spreading jam resulted in far too much bread and jam being created. Even a large bellied man would find the food to be substantial.

Qin Fen and Xue Tian locked gazes and smiled once again. While the restaurant’s waiters and waitresses were dumbstruck, they swept the entire table full of bread and jam completely clean.

The other diners were stupefied as well, watching this scene. Were these two men the incarnation of starving ghosts?

Qin Fen raised his head to look at the clock on the wall. He never thought he would eat breakfast all the way until noon. He swallowed the remaining jam and bread, gave Song Jia a call, and hurried to Song Jia and the others’ restaurant.

Qin Fen thought about how he was going to eat lunch right after breakfast and could only give a weak smile.

A bracelet worth a couple dollars, and a necklace worth a couple hundred dollars.

Lev Mirov and the others stood beside Song Jia. They felt an incomparable surprise. How could she wear such crude handmade jewelry with such excitement? Could it be what was popular in the upper echelon of society had changed once more?

Qin Fen walked into the hall and saw Song Jia wearing the jewelry with a single glance.

She wore no earrings. She wore no watches. Today, Song Jia wore merely a bracelet and a necklace.

“Apologies for being late.”

Qin Fen gave a nod of apology. He had broken the promise of meeting on time and was far too late. The promised time had been nine o’clock. Right now it was nearly half an hour past noon.

“You look a bit tired, bro.” Lin Liqiang sidestepped the matter of Qin Fen being late. “Last night, did pick up the room service phone, and not holding back you….”

“Qiangster, do you think Qin Fen is like you?”

Song Jia rapped Lin Liqiang in the back, expressing her protest.

Lev Mirov walked out from behind Song Jia. He arrived before Qin Fen with two steps, turned around, and spoke in the direction from whence they came. “Young Master Ge. This is the Qin Fen I mentioned to you before, sir. This is the expert in paintball shooting and the powerhouse in virtual aerial combat.”

Qin Fen followed Lev Mirov’s gaze with his eyes and saw a young man he hadn’t seen yesterday. The young man possessed a v-shaped build, and his shoulders were especially wide. His square face was like a work of art chiseled from stone.

This young man stood in a group of people who possessed strength out of the norm, yet the young man gave Qin Fen a feeling of a crane in a flock of chicken, someone who was much superior than the others.
