Banquet, Zizhu Pavilion

Ye Xingyu dire ctly extended his arm.

His rough hand clasped tightly with Brocade of Mountains and Rivers'.

"Good! No problem!"

Ye Xingyu immediately agreed to Brocade of Mountains and Rivers' request!

After all, the other party represented the official.

He was bound to have immense influence on Blue Star in the future.

Cooperating with them was absolutely worthwhile for Ye Xingyu.

If it weren't for this game,

over 80% of the people nationwide

wouldn't even dream of having such a close relationship with the official.

Ye Xingyu understood this very clearly.

The official of Xia Nation was among the top existences on the entire Blue Star.

And their stance was righteous.

Ye Xingyu originally intended to protect Blue Star from being invaded and destroyed by the Milky Way forces.

He and the official of Xia Nation already shared the same goal.

There was no reason not to cooperate with the official.

As for the extent of cooperation,

it would, of course, depend on the actual situation.

But at this moment,

showing goodwill to the official

was still a very wise move.

Therefore, Ye Xingyu and Brocade of Mountains and Rivers immediately added each other as friends.

They could quickly contact each other for anything.

Brocade of Mountains and Rivers also achieved his goal.

Even the official highly valued a super talent like Ye Xingyu.

He couldn't help but laugh heartily, "Since we all achieved a great victory today! Such a happy day is truly worth celebrating!"

"As the saying goes, no time like the present. Today, I will host and invite everyone, gathering all the elites of Xia Nation together."

"We'll choose a prestigious place to dine together."

"And also foster some camaraderie to prepare for future battles against Dark Star."

"Falling Nine Heavens, you and your Jun Luo Guild contributed greatly this time!"

"Pick 10 people from your guild to attend tonight's banquet!"

"What do you think?"

This time,

Ye Xingyu also readily agreed: "Good! I'll join the celebration tonight!"

This was Brocade of Mountains and Rivers' first invitation.

Ye Xingyu would definitely attend.

Moreover, from Brocade of Mountains and Rivers' words,

tonight's banquet was for preparations against Dark Star in the future.

So, he definitely wouldn't have invited only Ye Xingyu.

Ye Xingyu guessed in his heart:

If he and Brocade of Mountains and Rivers swapped positions,

he would definitely gather all the outstanding solo players and the leaders of several major guilds

who performed well in today's city defense battle,

and hold a grand celebration party!

This would broadly spread the official's influence among all the main elite players of Xia Nation.

Only then would it align with Brocade of Mountains and Rivers' interests!

In fact,

it was similar to what Ye Xingyu had imagined.

Brocade of Mountains and Rivers took the initiative as a representative to invite Ye Xingyu and the Jun Luo Guild behind him.

At the same time,

many representatives from official forces

acted separately,

heading to the areas of various main guilds

to invite their guild leaders and main leaders.

Meanwhile, among the most outstanding casual players,

they selected several of the most influential representatives.

So many elite players from Xia Nation

were invited to attend the celebration dinner tonight.

Without a doubt,

tonight was an exceptionally grand banquet!

Those who came were either rich or powerful, holding great authority in deep space!

Since Brocade of Mountains and Rivers had achieved his goal,

after a patient chat with Ye Xingyu,

he took his leave.

He still had a lot of preparatory work to do.

Anyway, the future was long.

Winning over Ye Xingyu was not something to rush.

Therefore, after a brief fifteen-minute meeting, the two parted ways... On the other side,

the renowned Goddess Palace, God of War, Emperor Rules the World, Dragon Clan, Only I Sword Sect, Purple Smoke Pavilion, Shockwave Brotherhood... and over a dozen other major guilds

also successively accepted the official's invitation... At 6 PM in the evening,

as the red sunset gradually descended westward,

and the sky was filled with crimson clouds,

large crowds began to gather on an incredibly wide commercial street in Bixiao City.

"Purple Pearl Pavilion!"

Currently recognized as the most opulent restaurant in all the main cities of the entire Xia Dynasty!

Today, as usual, countless guests and diners gathered.

It is said that this priceless "Purple Pearl Pavilion"

was purchased by the 'Ma Family', a major real-world financial conglomerate, for hundreds of millions!

Both its geographical location and its grandeur were built to the standards of ancient imperial palaces!

The 'Ma Family' intended to create the "Number One Restaurant in the World!" in the game.

Several famous delicacies in "Purple Pearl Pavilion",

such as "Manchu Han Imperial Feast", "Eight Treasures Fortune", "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall", "Boiled Cabbage in Clear Broth", "Abundance in Prosperous Years", "Emerald Jade Assorted Crab"... and so on,

were meticulously replicated 100% to scale in the game by professional chefs,

following the traditional recipes of these famous real-world dishes.

The effort was extreme!

The slogan shouted by "Purple Pearl Pavilion" was "Feasting Guests from All Over the World!"

Because their boss himself was a powerful and incredibly wealthy figure in reality,

he quickly achieved significant development in the game.

It gained widespread fame in wealthy circles.

It had almost completely solidified its title as the "Number One Restaurant in the World!"

The diners gathered at "Purple Pearl Pavilion" today were also either rich or powerful.

Looking at their faces,

countless people felt very familiar.

They were almost all top players seen at major events!

Falling Nine Heavens,

Goddess Daji,

God of War,

In the Name of the Sword,

God of Martial Arts,

Emperor Rules the World,

Wealth Can Reach the Gods,

Golden Dragon King,

and so on and so forth... Walking in the middle were all the guild leaders of major, well-known guilds!

With their noble status, they gathered in "Purple Pearl Pavilion" today to share a dinner.

It must be that a major event was about to happen in Xia Nation.

Countless passersby players craned their necks, looked up, and chattered away,

filling the streets on both sides.

The boss of "Purple Pearl Pavilion", Prosperous Fortune, personally walked out of the restaurant to receive these important figures.

The portly Prosperous Fortune had always appeared arrogant and overbearing in front of others.

Today, facing such a luxurious lineup,

he couldn't help but humbly bow his head, nodding and bowing to all of them.

His two chubby hands, adorned with 6 rings of red, green, and various colors, intertwined and rubbed together.

He was cautious, afraid of saying the wrong thing.

He greeted everyone with a smiling face at the entrance of the store,

constantly spouting polite pleasantries.

But what surprised the crowd even more was

Prosperous Fortune's attitude today towards a black-haired, flat-headed, square-faced middle-aged male player.

It was even more humble and fawning than his attitude towards the other guild leaders.

He kept bowing and smiling deferentially in front of him,

showing an inferior attitude.

This made players who rarely saw such a scene exclaim in surprise:

"The sun must have risen from the west today! Prosperous Fortune, that fat pig, actually deigned to come out and greet guests himself?"

"And he's even nodding and bowing to a stranger, completely ignoring Goddess Daji, God of War... and all the other big shots next to him."

"This is beyond ridiculous—it's utterly preposterous!"

Countless people clicked their tongues in wonder.

They all came to watch the commotion, wondering what identity that black-haired, flat-headed middle-aged man possessed

to make the "fat pig" so submissive.
