Silas gave a faint nod and smiled.
“You truly are very quick to catch on, Peng Yong.”
After discovering the effects of the food, Peng Yong looked at Silas and the others with a completely different attitude.
If all they had offered him was ordinary food, perhaps Peng Yong would not have shown them this much courtesy. There was already a severe food shortage among the common people, after all. But what about nobles like them?
People of noble status at least had enough resources to survive. They had access to nutrient liquids in abundance, so they were not actually starving.
However, food that could alter one’s constitution was an entirely different matter.
If his understanding was correct, these vegetables could even increase a person’s blood compatibility.
That was something no amount of ordinary food or nutrient liquid could easily provide.
Peng Yong seemed to think of something. He looked at Silas and asked, “Do you know about the benefits it can bring to the body?”
“We know it all. It is the best nourishment for the body.” Silas replied calmly.
Peng Yong raised an eyebrow. “Anything else?”
“Pregnant women can benefit a lot from this.”
As though that answer was not enough, Peng Yong leaned slightly forward.
“No, I am talking about its main use and how it could potentially affect the succession to the royal throne.”
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet. Silas paused briefly before nodding. “Well, I seem to know a little about that.”
Seeing his reaction, Peng Yong felt delighted. ‘It is obvious that this man does not actually know about blood compatibility.’
He suddenly put on a generous expression.
“As long as you give me ten kilograms of this food every month, I am willing to introduce you to Princess Catherine.”
The moment he finished speaking, everyone exchanged glances.
Their motive had almost been achieved.
Originally, they had been prepared to provide Peng Yong with food free of charge for an entire year if necessary. Now, all they needed to do was give him ten kilograms of food each month.
‘This man is truly foolish, and his luck is even worse.’
Silas suddenly smiled. “How about this? We will let you eat at our restaurant for the next two months without paying anything.”
A spark of excitement immediately flashed across Peng Yong’s eyes. “All right, then I will not stand on ceremony.”
Once Peng Yong had completely left, everyone finally began clapping their hands.
They had achieved their goal after opening the restaurant for only three days.
Bella was the first to raise her hand.
“Since we are going to meet Princess Catherine and have already achieved our original objective, can we shut down this entire restaurant now? My entire body is aching.”
Hearing that, Alana frowned.
“If we do that, what about Lydia and the others who have helped us so much? We cannot simply abandon them after they have started working here.”
Jade shook his head.
“If we don’t shut the restaurant down completely, there is a high chance that we will eventually run short of food and lose the connections we have built here.”
Silas looked at him calmly. “We can decide that based on what Ivy wants.”
Everyone turned toward Ivy. Ivy chuckled.
“Do not worry. I have already made all the necessary arrangements.”
She looked at the others reassuringly.
“Once we leave this restaurant, the system will operate on its own, with Lydia acting as the general manager. I will continuously teleport food here through the Temporal Storage, so there is no need to worry about the supplies running out. I have already accumulated a huge amount of vegetables.”
She paused before continuing.
“Besides, we are not ordinary superior beings. We do not need to rely entirely on the vegetables growing inside the Temporal Storage. As long as I want, I can simply use my supply-creation ability to produce more food.”
Hearing that, everyone nodded in understanding. The following day, Peng Yong arrived and took all of them with him in his hover car.
As they were leaving, Peng Yong casually glanced toward Ivy. “Since you are coming with us, show me your identification.”
Ivy looked at him curiously.
“I only need to confirm that you are actually a resident of this planet and not some kind of spy.”
As he spoke, Peng Yong leaned slightly closer.
“Many outsiders appear here and try to disguise themselves as ordinary superior beings, but they always forget that our technology is highly advanced.”
Ivy’s curiosity immediately surfaced. “What kind of advanced technology?”
Peng Yong gave her a strange look. “I thought you belonged to some kind of noble family. You would definitely know about it.”
Ivy smiled awkwardly.
“I do belong to a noble family. The only problem is that when I was very young, my family went bankrupt. They sold almost everything they owned, and eventually, my parents became rather rebellious. His Majesty could no longer tolerate their behavior and decided to expel them from the noble circle.”
She sighed softly before continuing.
“However, His Majesty did not believe that I was the problematic one, so he allowed me to stay. Not only that, he even helped me inherit a plot of land where I could grow food.”
Ivy smiled brightly. “The food I provided today came from my own farm. If His Majesty did not care about me, who else would?”
As she finished speaking, she laughed lightly. Peng Yong looked at Ivy with a trace of envy.
At first, he had still harbored some suspicion toward her, but after hearing such a logical explanation, he could no longer find an obvious flaw in her story.
Soon, they arrived at Princess Catherine’s residence.
The moment the hover car approached the entrance, they were met by numerous guards. The guards immediately stopped Peng Yong and questioned him.
“What do you want?”
Peng Yong pointed toward Ivy and the others.
“These are my friends. They have something they want to discuss with Princess Catherine.”
The guard gave Ivy and the others a quick once-over before waving her hand dismissively.
“Leave. We are not interested in entertaining beggars.”
Ivy’s eyebrows twitched.
She calmly looked at the guard.
“I hope you can repeat that sentence once more when I have the opportunity to speak with Princess Catherine herself. I have a feeling she will appreciate my feedback on you.”
She paused and challenged, “What if I have a cure for her disease?”
The guard looked at Ivy strangely.
Many people had come and gone from this place, and almost every one of them had boasted about having some incredible solution for Princess Catherine.
Previously, Princess Catherine had at least possessed enough energy to entertain them and listen to their proposals.
Now, however, she did not care about any of them.
From her perspective, she no longer had enough time or energy to waste listening to people who offered empty promises.
Ivy’s expression gradually became serious.
‘Just how severe has Princess Catherine’s illness become?’
The guard waved his hand impatiently and tried to shoo her away.
“Shoo, shoo. Do not keep asking me questions that will only leave you disappointed and sad. You should just leave.”
Hearing those words, Ivy finally lost her patience.
“I can cure Princess Catherine. Please, let me meet her. I can definitely cure her!”
Her voice echoed loudly through the entrance, causing several guards nearby to turn their heads.
The guard stationed outside immediately shouted toward the security team.
“Please, someone come here! We have a dangerous situation. Someone is shouting outside and creating a disturbance. We need to remove her before Madam notices what is happening.”
Within moments, several security members hurried over.
Ivy looked at them and finally realized that simply shouting would not get her anywhere.
She took a deep breath and turned back toward the original guard. “I am not lying. I can treat her. I have studied medicine.”
Hearing those words, the guard looked at her suspiciously. “Really? Then tell me what is wrong with me.”
Ivy stared at him with a serious expression.
Inside her mind, however, she was already frantically thinking.
‘Temporal Storage, please diagnose him and let me know the result.’
After a brief moment, Ivy looked directly at the man.
“For the past three months, you have not been able to sleep properly. You keep waking up during the night, and even when you manage to sleep, you never feel completely rested.”
