The Protagonist Enters
(Congratulations to the newly appointed hall master "Zhe c??")
This Little Fatty Girl, sigh.
Every time I see her, I feel a sense of surprise.
Imagining how frantically he would log off would be hilarious, Mu Fan's mood improved.
No, my whole body aches.
When the game ended, the spectating session was over, and Lord Black returned to Mu Fan's side.
"What do you think of this cich System?"
"I can only say... it's awesome." Mu Fan said honestly. The system gave him the feeling of continuous exploitation, which was the best kind of stimulation for his physique.
"This is just a copy of a system. Moreover, based on my analysis and speculation, the Federation's cich System is slightly inferior to the Yake Empire's super robot system, and the side effects may be greater. Furthermore, that Great Lightning Owl must have some unknown settings."
Mu Fan understood what Hei meant. It meant that the cich System was not as optimistic as he had imagined. The actual situation was probably worse, and the special enhancements of that mecha would likely place even higher demands on the pilot.
"Should we play another round to experience it, or go see that old bastard Fighter?" Black offered two options.
"I'm not coming. I'll go to 341 Base after things are over with the instructors tomorrow."
"Okay, go ahead then. Oh, by the way, do you want to hear some news?"
"I won't listen..."
After saying that Mu Fan's figure disappeared from the PO Battle Network, leaving only a dark, eerie voice echoing. "You've gained another 60,000 Star Coin..."
Unfortunately, its host will never hear those words.
After placing the specially enhanced Optical Brain Helmet in place, Mu Fan lay down and fell into a deep sleep, staring at the ceiling.
The next day, Mu Fan woken up by the fat man. When he opened his eyes and looked at the clock, it was already almost ten o'clock!
This was the first time Mu Fan had ever slept in so late, it seemed his body had been quite tired these past few days.
Hmm? Your left arm doesn't hurt anymore?
Mu Fan had inadvertently raised his arm, turned his head and glanced at it.
The wound miraculously healed, leaving only a scar.
This is great news!
"Mu Fan, get up. Quickly eat breakfast and then change into formal attire."
"Good."
Half an hour later, Mu Fan, who had forced himself to drink only a bowl of vegetarian porridge, appeared in the corridor dressed in a well-fitting suit. He had made up his mind to save room for a delicious lunch.
The fat guy next to me was stuffing his shirt into his pants with all his might, complaining, "I thought I'd lose weight after this exam, but it seems I've gained another two pounds... It's like I gain weight just by drinking water!"
Mu Fan curled his lip upon hearing this, for he had personally witnessed the fat man eat nine bowls of lean meat porridge and four eggs for breakfast.
"Alright, let's go. My dad's already arrived at the Huanglin Fengyue Banquet Hall on the 28th floor," the fat man said, glancing at his Sky Communicator.
Has Wayne arrived?
Mu Fan nodded.
The two entered the high-speed escalator, and the staff member respectfully pressed the button representing the 28th floor.
"My dad doesn't know you passed the exam yet, hahaha, I'll give him a surprise later!" the fat man said to Mu Fan, winking.
Mu Fan was speechless. Is it really okay for you to be so irresponsible?
With a ding-dong, we arrived at the 28th floor.
The moment the suspended elevator doors opened, Mu Fan was truly blinded by the overwhelming atmosphere of luxury.
The reception hall is decorated with a golden relief ceiling, and dozens of gold-inlaid Ancient Tree -shaped stone pillars support the entrance of the hall, captivating visitors at first glance with its profound architectural beauty.
This reception hall alone is almost the size of the little fat boy's living room.
I can't even imagine the area inside.
"My dad's over there!"
Following the direction the fat man pointed, Mu Fan saw the imposing middle-aged man who was talking to someone and was just saying goodbye with a smile.
It was Wayne! He had already seen Harry and the other man waving at him.
"Dad."
"Wayne."
"Hmm." He walked over, nodded to the chubby boy, and then greeted Mu Fan with a smile, "Mu Fan, I asked Harry last time and he said he couldn't find you. I haven't asked how your exam went yet."
"Wayne. The results are better than I expected."
"An academy on Landu Star?"
"Um!"
"That's good. You and Harry will be living close by, so try to look out for each other as much as possible." Wayne still thought that Mu Fan had just successfully entered an academy on Landu Star, and he really didn't think of the Dingchuan Academy, one of the five major academies.
He spent almost half of his fortune on his little fat son.
Seeing the fat man chuckling to himself, Wayne glared at him. "Slacking off! I'm here to give you a head start on getting familiar with the family business! This is a rare opportunity for you and Mu Fan to observe! Be serious!"
The stern rebuke immediately made the fat man's face fall.
People were starting to trickle into the reception hall. Wayne gestured for the two to follow, then said softly, "Today is a meeting and banquet between Luoqi Heavy Industries and its downstream suppliers. The Fowen Conglomerate's previous efforts have finally reached the threshold for this banquet. Mu Fan, you and Harry should observe more and speak less. This kind of opportunity is rare."
Seeing Wayne's serious expression, Mu Fan nodded.
Being able to attend such a banquet as an outsider in the delegation of the Fowen Conglomerate is already a great honor for me.
After he finished speaking, Wayne seemed to see an acquaintance. He laughed and walked towards a man who had just walked in and was smoking a pipe. The man also made a hugging gesture, as if they were old friends who had not seen each other for many years.
"Stop looking. This gesture means he definitely doesn't know anyone here. It's so frustrating, they don't even give us a chance to speak," said Harry, the chubby boy, with a helpless expression.
The plan to sabotage my dad has failed.
"Then we..."
"Let's go in and take a look."
After walking through the long reception hall, Mu Fan, looking completely out of place, was dragged inside by the fat man amidst the bowing welcome of dozens of female waitresses in two rows.
I just praised you as a master at flirting yesterday, and today you can't resist these girls in high-slit uniforms? Fatty really despises you.
Is there something warm inside my nose?
The fat man secretly tried to suppress his anger when Mu Fan wasn't looking, and thankfully he wasn't too angry, so he only had a little nosebleed.
The Banquet Hall, spanning over a thousand square meters, is decorated in shades of brown and gold. The circular tiered ceiling lights above the ceiling complement the high-end hand-woven carpets on the floor, with an elegant and grand solid wood round table placed every five meters.
There's even a small music stage at the edge of the hall, where a band is already standing and adjusting their equipment.
"Tsk tsk tsk! You don't know until you come out. Compared to this, my home is just a bird's nest!" the fat man exclaimed with relish.
As the clock approached 11 o'clock, men and women dressed in various high-end clothes began to enter. Wayne and the pipe-smoking man walked to a corner of the hall, chatting and laughing.
The atmosphere began to heat up.
Soft music began to play, and amidst the greetings of the crowd, a tall, smiling woman in a light blue dress that barely reached her ankles, her long, flowing hair tied back with two gold strands, her bright eyes constantly meeting the smiles of those around her. Her right arm was linked with that of a sprightly but gray-haired elderly man. The two of them quietly entered the Banquet Hall through the VIP passage behind the main stage.
On the other side, three female companions, who were elegantly greeting several wealthy young men, gathered together. One of them, a beautiful woman with wavy hair, noticed an old man and a young man over there. She covered her face with a round fan and whispered to her two companions.
"See that old man and girl over there? They're the main characters for today. Let's take a walk around there later."
