"Thank you and if she refuses please say it's a gift from the cafeteria because she is a regular patron."
The waitress nodded.
Neo was thankful she accepted his request silently.
He returned to the table.
"What were you talking about with the waitress?" Jack said with a suggestive smile.
"Nothing."
Christian noticed the weird nuisance behind Jack's words.
"Why are you asking that?"
He questioned while he ate the food.
"Listen to me. This guy went naked in front of half dozen people. Of course, most of them were girls."
"…!"
Christian froze.
"Really...?"
He asked slowly as if he had trouble believing Jack's words.
Neo didn't bother pointing out how Jack left out the reason why Neo did what he did.
He focused on the food.
"Weren't they… disgusted?"
"Bah, what disgusted. It's different when rich and handsome guys like him do it.
"You should've looked at the hungry look in the girls' eyes."
Rich and handsome.
Those words were something Neo would've been never associated with in his past life.
The transmigration changed everything for him.
Neo smiled.
Above all, he was happy.
He might've been an Extra who died before the original novel's plot began.
However, he could change his fate as long as he worked hard.
While they were talking, the waitress delivered the order to Morrigan.
Confused, Morrigan asked why was she receiving something she never ordered.
The waitress explained the reason.
Morrigan frowned.
When she was about to refuse, the waitress used her glib tongue to have her accept the order.
'Nice. Doesn't look like she knows I was the one who ordered it.'
Neo secretly gave a thumbs up to the waitress and received a nod in return.
He was partially — definitely not fully — responsible for Morrigan's current situation.
Even so, it wasn't the reason why he helped her.
He knew she went easy on him during the tournament and she tried to protect him from being killed by other participating students since he chose the first rank token.
Neo was only trying to fulfill the favor he owed her.
'I'm pretty sure she doesn't have credits. This should even us out.'
He focused on his table.
"Your missions were quite difficult. I apologize for dumping two of them on you," Christian smiled wryly.
He heard the whole story from Jack.
"I'm pretty sure yours was worse," Jack said.
"I wouldn't say that's the case.
"We were just unlucky the Rolling Boulder evolved as soon as we found it.
"I checked and the mission was posted a few months ago.
"No one took it since then.
"The delay was the reason why the Rolling Boulder was able to grow stronger than what was written in the mission details."
It was a fault born out of negligence.
In short, Neo's team was just unlucky.
"I will report the disparity in the mission details and the actual details to the mission halls.
"We should be compensated. Don't get your hopes up though. Nobody likes to accept their mistake," Neo said.
Mars woke up while they ate.
He was felt rejuvenated thanks to the Energy Replenishment elixir.
"Where am I?" He massaged his brows.
"Cafeteria.
