Walker Of The Worlds

The people of the food street had a rather unique and a bit overwhelming experience today. For the first time in their lives, all of their stock had been finished and even their reserves were all sold off.

A rather handsome man as described by the female vendors, went to shop by shop, stall by stall, and either ate all the food they had or bought it all. In some shops, he tasted some and bought the rest.

The other people who had come to visit the street were left stunned, unable to even complain. All they could see was a man, eating food like he had been starving for who knows how long.

Of course, this person was none other than Lin Mu, who was having the time of his life. There were many kinds of dishes to taste and even more ingredients to buy.

There were special herbs that were cooked in jungle fowl fat to make a stir-fry. There was one of the specialties of the Hong Lin kingdom, which was the Leave wrapped rice and meat cakes.

These were made by covering beast meat in rice first before it was wrapped in the broad leaves of the Hong Lin trees and then steamed. The leaves of the Hong Lin Trees gave it a rather unique armor and a tinge of flavor that seeped into the rice.

Even the water that was used to steam it all was flavored with the flowers of the Hong Lin trees, adding a scent that mesmerized everyone that passed by. This was also one of the most expensive dishes that could be bought here, but Lin Mu simply spent several tens of gold coins and bought the entire shop's supply.

In total, he had bought around twenty steamers full of this dish. Once he stored them in the ring, they would stay good for a long time and Lin Mu would be able to enjoy them later.

In addition to the food street, Lin Mu even went to the street where they sent the ingredients for those dishes and emptied out other stores as well. Some of the other customers protested, of course, but they couldn't really do much in the face of money.

After all, no sane shopkeeper would deny Lin Mu, who was paying everything upfront. The other customers could only sigh to themselves and curse their bad luck that they met a whale today.

The thing was, they didn't even know why Lin Mu was buying all this. At the start, the customers thought he owned a restaurant or something like that and thus he was buying in bulk, but when Lin Mu started to empty out other shops as well, they started to find it really strange.

No restaurant would buy these many ingredients. Even if they wanted to keep some in the reserve storage, they wouldn't keep such a massive amount. Doing so was just asking to make a loss as the ingredients would go bad on their own after a while, even if they tried to use as many as possible.

Of course, how could they know that Lin Mu had a spatial storage treasure that had a massive capacity that was not even a fraction of one percent filled? And the food and ingredients that were kept in it would not go bad for years to come, which was enough for him to finish it all of.

Though to be honest, that situation would never arrive, as even after eating so much food, Lin Mu didn't feel full at all. The only reason he bought it for later was that he knew it would probably cause an even bigger commotion if he went around eating their entire stocks instead of just buying it.

Another reason why the people didn't question Lin Mu much was because of his identity as a cultivator. Since he was able to store all of it in spatial storage treasures they knew that not only was he a cultivator, he was also a very rich cultivator.

Some of the women and girls couldn't help but send flirtatious glances towards him but unfortunately for them, Lin Mu only had eyes for the food.

While Lin Mu continued to go from one store to the next, buying stuff, the news about the commotion had already reached the law enforcement office. In there, a few guards were standing in front of a man who seemed to be exhausted and had eye bags.

His eyes were bloodshot, and it was apparent he had not had much sleep these few days.

"And you woke me up because this man was buying things?" The man asked.

"Yes, office head." The guards spoke.

"And he brought everything legitimately?" The man asked.

"Yes, office head." The guard replied again.

"No stealing?"

"No, office head."

"The coins were real?"

"Yes, office head.

"Did he cause any conflict or a fight?"

"The other customers were upset and displeased that all of the stock was bought off by him, not only in one or two shops but the entire streets." The guard replied.

"And they were the ones that reported him to you all?" The office head questioned.

"Yes, office head. They said that he is intentionally causing trouble and strife in the business. They say he is attempting to run them out of business and make them bankrupt." The guards answered.

Hearing all this, the office head rubbed his forehead and eyes.

~Sigh~

The man let out a sigh as he raised his head. His exhausted expression contorted and fear filled the eyes of the guards.

"YOU IMBECILES! DID YOU EVEN CHECK THE LAWS AND REGULATIONS BEFORE YOU CAME TO ME?" The office head thundered.

"Umm…" the guards were unable to reply anymore.

"SPEAK!" The office head yelled again.

"Uh… he didn't really break any laws or regulations. But since the merchants and all complained, we had no choice but to come to you, office head." The guards replied with difficultly.

"I swear I'll flip the ministry of trade someday… just because someone outbid them, they think they can just force work onto us…" the office head cursed.
