Chapter 224: Slap, Slap, Slap, in the Face . Ouch!
The server did not mince words . “Since you can’t afford to pay, then you will have to stay here until you can clear your debt . ”
“You…” Tu Xiupei looked at the insistent server then at the muscular man at the Spiritual Grandmaster level . She didn’t dare say anymore and had no choice but to swallow all her words . But she was really unable to afford 10 billion . In fact, she wasn’t even able to afford 1 billion .
There was nothing she could do . Tu Xiupei could only clench her teeth and relinquish the honor she’d gained earlier back to Feng Tianlan . “This banquet was hosted by my sister as the Feng Clan Head . I was only here to help my older sister out as a younger sister ought to . Eldest Sister is the host of this banquet . ”
“But you were the one who gave orders to Spiritual Foods Restaurant and claimed credit for giving the pills away, so you’re the hostess . I’m only here for a meal,” Feng Tianlan replied quietly . Yunzhu had dug a really difficult hole for Tu Xiupei!
Tu Xiupei bit her lip and glared spitefully at Feng Tianlan . “But you were the one who said last night that you were hosting a banquet at the Spiritual Foods Restaurant . As for those pills, even though they came from you, the guests mistakenly assumed I was the one gifting them . I never said I was treating anyone or giving pills away . ”
She had received so much praise, honor, and pride, but now she had to give it all back to Feng Tianlan . So many slaps in the face made her face sting .
“Oh, so now you remember that I was the one who said I would treat everyone?” Feng Tianlan laughed . “It looks like you really love snatching things from others and declaring yourself the owner of things that don’t belong to you . ”

Tu Xiupei could only grit her teeth . Her little face felt like it was on fire, and Feng Tianlan didn’t feel bad about giving her a few more slaps . “I was only trying to help out Eldest Sister . ”
“Oh, how nice of you,” Feng Tianlan said sarcastically . She looked at the server and said, “In that case, this banquet is still mine, after all . ”
Tu Xiupei ground her teeth so hard that they were chattering, and she clenched her fists so hard that her nails dug into her skin . She didn’t feel any pain as she turned to leave .
“Wait up!” The server ran up to Tu Xiupei and blocked her way .
“What now? I’m a guest, but I still can’t leave?” Tu Xiupei turned nasty because she felt like this restaurant was bullying her .
The server didn’t bother beating around the bush and passed a different bill to her . “The Feng Clan Head did not order these dishes, so Miss Tu will still have to settle this bill . ”
“A million gold coins!” Tu Xiupei nearly vomited blood when she saw the bill . These were very ordinary side dishes that should cost no more than ten or twenty gold coins . This restaurant had jacked up the prices .
They were obviously trying to bully her!
The server smiled harmlessly . “As a novice disciple of Flying Frost Pavilion, surely Miss Tu has a million, right?”
“My sister is the host, so you should look for her . ” Tu Xiupei clenched her teeth and resisted the urge to tear the server apart . One million gold coins was pretty much all that she had .
“But the Feng Clan Head didn’t order these dishes . You were the one who ordered them and treated everyone, so of course I have to look for you . Besides, these kinds of dishes…” The server looked disdainfully at Tu Xiupei . “At a place like the Spiritual Foods Restaurant, the Feng Clan Head would have never allowed her guests to eat such poor food . It would be an insult . ”

“I thought that Tu Xiupei was the one hosting the banquet, and I can’t believe she tried to snatch this honor from the Feng Clan Head . ”
“She’s not the slightest bit embarrassed . She even claimed that she was the one who’d given the pills out even though it was really the Feng Clan Head . ”
“She wanted a good name for herself without having to put in any money . Of course, there’s no such thing as a free lunch . Now, she can’t even bear to part with one million gold coins . ”

Just Don't Shoot the Quartermaster
Aliens are real! And monsters! But that's racist, don't call them that. And there's magic too! The life of humble, hard-working Carioca*¹² Rafael Barro is thrown into disarray when the interstellar Multi-Unity Alliance comes knocking. During the negotiations to take Earth in as a Protected Member-Planet for the glory of our AI overlords, the aliens ‘accidentally’ break the Veil that keeps the mythics protected from humanity’s knowledge, revealing the creatures of legend and myth that were hiding among us for millennia — from the doorman to global leaders. After a series of mishaps in his ever chaotic Brazil, our intrepid hero decides to join the Unity's Army, where he ends up as a inglorious… quartermaster. The Unity takes all recruits to make matters worse, including the mythics! And the cherry on the damn pie is Rafael Barro’s extra assignment: writing this historical first-hand report on the wonders of Earth’s diversity, the seamless adaptation of all its members, and on his gallant units’ first stellar expedition ever to defend another precious*³ world! Are we talking about the same planet? (Reader discretion is advised; Contains Graphic Language and Potentially Excessive Swearing) *¹ Carioca = demonym of someone from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. *² humble and/or hardworking Cariocas = not necessarily mythics, ordinary ones actually exist. *³ precious = inasmuch every living planet is precious. Editor's Note: Someone disable his permission to edit the draft on UnityDocs, please! Hello, I'm McKing and I aim to write an original story with elements I've never seen put together before. Feel free to point out any mistakes you see — I'm not a native speaker, so I'm sure a few will pass me by. Sci-fi; Humor; (Brazilian) Urban Fantasy; faint shades of LitRPG. **Be warned it has a bit of an (absurd) slice-of-life beginning though the story is being subtly (I hope) worked on and eventually shifts gears (a bit). I planned to say that from the beginning, but I forgot to add it.** I hope that you enjoy it and that I can grow as a writer with your contributions. No Fixed Update Schedule. My inspiration comes in bursts and so will the Chapters. Sorry if that displeases you (I love regular updates too), but I'm afraid that's the best I can do for now. Keep in mind that it is a work in progress and things can eventually change a bit - I'll try to always note the changes. Sorry for the bad cover, it was the best my sorry skills could do! I hope you enjoy it,Mcking

The Exodus Project
This is the original version of Origin before I rewrote it. It's much more simpler, some names and personalities are a little different. THere's nowhere near as much back story or character development/interaction. But the story is essentially at the end of book one. I wrote this 15 odd years ago, and with a bit of polish it doesn't look too bad. The story like Origin is about a group of college students who find a ship that is the last remnant of an ancient human space faring civilisation, they fix her up and go back into space. Along they way they'll meet alot of aliens, religious fundamentalists and conmen.
