There was nothing about the banquet that attracted too much attention. The emperor and the officials who had regained their freedom were just reminiscing about old times and keeping in touch with each other. Xue Xi felt bored after hearing this, so he focused on the food on the table in front of him.

Pastries and fruits were placed in tall gold basins, and a metal cup was placed next to each person. At each table, two maids stood on both sides holding a pot, pouring wine for the adults and juice for the women.

Xue Xi picked up the cup and looked at the thick emerald green juice inside. He didn't know what kind of fruit it was squeezed from. He blinked and Xue Xi raised his head and drank the light juice in one gulp.

A smell of grass filled the throat, but it was not like the juice of grass that was unpalatable. Instead, it was as appetizing as hawthorn. Xue Xi couldn't help but said to the palace maid on the side, "More, more, more."

Just like this, while everyone was chatting with the emperor about domestic and state affairs, Xue Xi ate a pastry and a glass of juice, making those who noticed her couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths.

But until the end of the banquet, there was no drama about the prince or princess slapping her in the face. After all, the Virtual Universe Company branch manager sitting next to her was not a sculpture, so the intimidation was still there.

In a flash, two and a half years passed quickly. During this period, Man Luo was afraid that Xue Xi would cause trouble by being alone, so he wanted to tie her to his belt and take her with him. From time to time, he found various reasons to take her around Black Dragon Star and the nearby bustling planets, eating, drinking and having fun, which was so uncomfortable.

On this day, she was lying on a beach chair on a blue planet. Under the umbrella was a seafood barbecue stall with fireworks.

The sizzling and oily squid tentacles were brushed with Explosive Flame Fruit's ground chili powder, and the cumin flavor whetted Xue Xi's appetite. On the sea in the distance, Man Luo was holding a Blue Flower Shrimp with Domain Lord's strength with one hand.

Placing "small" lobsters several stories high on the beach caused the ground to sink a lot.

Man Luo wiped his beard, stretched out his hand and put a bunch of squid tentacles into his mouth. He didn't use his supernatural power to resist it and suddenly started laughing, "Ha, it's so chewy and fragrant! Girl, I've eaten all the high-level sea beasts on this planet. Do you want to change to another place?"

In the past two and a half years, he has felt another great joy of life, which is the improvement of his strength. After handing over his official duties to Ming Yu, he has become more and more happy.

Xue Xi was about to say something when Smart Brain prompted someone to send an email. After Xue Xi opened it, it was Luo Feng who urged, "Fourth sister, Genius Tournament registration has started, come quickly!"

Xue Xi was so excited that he sat up straight, raised his hand to take off his sunglasses, and said to Man Luo who was wondering whether this Blue Flower Shrimp was braised, spicy or minced with garlic. "Grandpa Man Luo, Genius Tournament has started to sign up, let's go back!"

Man Luo's body trembled and he said a little embarrassed, "Ah? Really? Why don't you deal with this shrimp first and then leave?"

After Xue Xi helplessly cooked the lobster for Man Luo, Man Luo smiled and put the dish into the God Kingdom and carefully preserved it. After all, after Xue Xi joined Genius Tournament, it would take an unknown amount of time for them to meet again.

With emotion in his heart, he rolled his sleeves and released his spaceship, and said to Xue Xi, "Let's go back to Black Dragon Star."

The fluctuations of the spaceship's shuttle through space rippled through the planet's atmosphere, and disappeared after a moment. The planet remained unchanged except for the disappearance of a large number of high-level sea beasts. Only a simple barbecue facility was left on a beach somewhere, leaving a scent.

Virtual Universe Black Dragon Mountain Island, the four-person group from the earth reunited. The list of Universe Peak Genius Tournament was displayed in the sky. All four people have signed up and are waiting for the start of Genius Tournament.

The top 1,000 in the universe's total ranking will have three major rewards. First, depending on the ranking, they will receive bonuses ranging from 10 Hunyuan Unit to 10,000 Hunyuan Unit. Second, they will get a quota to enter Initial Universe's enlightenment. Third, they can become the internal 'Core Member' of Virtual Universe Company.

This is the reward for Genius Tournament. Xue Xi doesn't care so much about the bonus, but Initial Universe and Core Member are bound to win it.

The selection battle for the Ganwu Universe Kingdom is about to begin, and Xue Xi is also eager to try. She has not improved her strength for many years, and she can't wait to unlock the next recipe page.

The talent selection competition is divided into two stages. In the first stage, the top 1000 experts from all major Universe Country will be selected.

In the second stage, the top 1000 masters of each Universe Country gather together, and all the geniuses of many Universe Country gather together for the final final battle to determine the top 1000 in the total ranking of the universe.

Ganwu Universe Kingdom will draw 100 worlds in Virtual Universe. There are 8.2 billion contestants in one world, and Preliminary Elimination will be held here.

Thor got his own world number, and he and Xue Xi started chattering. "I am from District 88. How about auspiciousness? How about you?"

Hong: "Zone 72."

Luo Feng: "Zone 1."

Xue Xi: "Well, I am in District 100. It seems that everyone is not in the same district. This is good. The killing is also unscrupulous. Everyone should be confident to pass, right?"
