Chapter 236: Grand Banquet
“Not at all, it’s everyone’s merit. We defeated the Nine-star Fierce Beast together. Without everyone’s help, it would have been difficult for me to succeed alone.”
Song Tiantian said as she took out a crutch from her space. She was covered in dirt, and Dr. Bai was in pristine white. If Dr. Bai carried her, he would definitely get his clothes dirty, and she wasn’t injured that severely anyway.
She could still walk on her own.
She wasn’t that badly off.
Furthermore, this time, those Eight-star Beast Tamers had indeed been helpful. Without them, Song Tiantian might have been more severely injured when dealing with the Nine-star Demonic Tiger.
“I’ll carry you. You conserve your energy and focus on regulating your breathing. Nine-star Fierce Beast Meat won’t be fresh and tasty if it’s kept for too long.”
Song Tiantian was touched for nothing.
She jumped onto Dr. Bai’s back without hesitation.
She actually wanted to get Dr. Bai’s clothes dirty.
She had thought Dr. Bai genuinely cared about her.
“Shouldn’t you be giving me a princess carry? This way of carrying is so ugly!”
Song Tiantian complained to Dr. Bai.
“A princess carry is tiring on the arms. This way is easier and allows us to travel faster.”
“Fine!”
Song Tiantian didn’t say anything more and seized the time to regulate her breathing. This was Nine-star Fierce Beast Meat!
She had never eaten Nine-star Fierce Beast Meat before. Even a few drops of Nine-star Fierce Beast blood were incredibly precious.
The group returned to Qingshan City in high spirits.
With Dr. Bai back, Qingshan City had a Big Boss to protect it, making it safer.
But what made them happier was that they, the Beast Tamers, had worked together to kill the Nine-star Fierce Beast.
Dr. Bai had only arrived after the Fierce Beast was dead.
Everyone regretted not taking a photo earlier.
However, taking photos during the grand banquet tonight would be just as good.
Everyone who participated in today’s battle could attend tonight’s banquet, which would start after midnight.
Furthermore, each person could bring up to three family members, but the family members would not get Nine-star Fierce Beast Meat; they could only eat other dishes.
This had been agreed upon in advance.
It was still early until evening, only afternoon, and the sky wasn’t dark yet. There were still a few hours, so everyone could go change their clothes, dress up nicely, and attend the banquet with their families.
To be honest, the people from Linhai City and Qingshan City had not officially interacted yet.
This banquet also served as a temporary exchange meeting.
Shen Qing was hosting such a large-scale banquet for the first time, and with such short notice.
The venue was simple; the top floor of the administrative building was cleared out for the banquet.
This banquet had two purposes: first, to celebrate Dr. Bai’s return to Qingshan City, and second, to celebrate everyone working together to kill the Nine-star Fierce Beast, ensuring Qingshan City would no longer fear the threat of Nine-star Fierce Beasts.
Shen Qing was truly overwhelmed with busyness, having to find a group of attractive young men and women to serve as waitstaff in such a short time.
He selected them from the factory and administrative staff, offering triple salary for those willing to work overtime, and each person would also receive a set of well-fitting clothes.
Although the clothes were standard sizes, they were not cheap.
The quality of these clothes was not bad.
Fortunately, his wife ran a clothing store, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to gather so many clothes.
How could a banquet function without waitstaff?
And the waitstaff definitely needed to wear uniform clothes; otherwise, it wouldn’t feel right.
Song Tiantian saw red carpets spread all over the place.
There were also many self-serve snacks and drinks on the tables.
In such a short time, Shen Qing managed everything so well, which made Song Tiantian feel he was very capable.
These items were not high-end, but the thoughtful arrangement made them look quite good, giving off a high-class banquet atmosphere.
Moreover, Song Tiantian glanced at the bill Shen Qing sent her. The total cost for this banquet was only about twenty thousand points, which was very economical.
Shen Qing hoped to pay with points, and Song Tiantian did not refuse.
She knew that points could be used to purchase items from the Weaponry.
Shen Qing was an administrative staff member. Besides his salary, he had almost no way to earn points, and his salary was relatively low.
Also, this event would indeed cost a lot of money.
So, Song Tiantian directly transferred twenty thousand points to Shen Qing’s Identity Token.
Shen Qing smiled so broadly he couldn’t close his mouth upon seeing these twenty thousand points. He could buy many things, and his Identity Token could also be used for a lottery, perhaps he might have a stroke of luck.
Although points are not as universally accepted as Energy Stones, with how dangerous it is outside now, who would dare leave Qingshan City!
The nearby Bases had been destroyed by Fierce Beasts; only Qingshan City remained standing.
The outer city, which was originally empty, was now as lively as the inner city used to be.
These points were much more useful than Energy Stones. With this sum of points, he estimated he could prepare to Breakthrough to Five-star Beast Tamer.
Even though he didn’t go to the battlefield, having stronger Strength would give him more confidence.
Otherwise, when facing those Seven-star Beast Tamers and Eight-star Beast Tamers, he would be so intimidated by their aura that he wouldn’t be able to speak before they even said a word.
Most importantly, Shen Qing himself could use his position to attend this banquet and bring his family.
Although he wouldn’t get any Nine-star Fierce Beast Meat, Song Tiantian said he could eat as much Eight-star Fierce Beast Meat and Seven-star Fierce Beast Meat as he wanted.
Mother Song changed outfits one after another in front of the mirror.
This one was too dull, that one was too bright and not dignified enough.
This was the first time she was appearing as Song Tiantian’s mother, and at such a high-class banquet.
Mother Song was a bit anxious about her attire.
She hadn’t been this concerned initially, but seeing Father Song start washing his hair and shaving his beard and also selecting clothes made her pay attention.
Father Song rarely dressed up so meticulously.
He even carefully selected his belt multiple times.
He personally ironed his clothes, finding Song Mother’s ironing not smooth enough.
“Xiao Hua, wear this set of Jewelry. That qipao is a bit dull, but with this set of Jewelry, it will brighten up. We need to dress with dignity. Everyone attending today is a Big Figure from Linhai City; we can’t embarrass Tiantian. And Dr. Bai will be there today too.”
“When did you buy such a nice set of Jewelry?”
Mother Song looked at the dazzling green jade. This Jewelry must be worth millions! It was too precious.
“These are from the overflow stock of those wealthy people in Linhai City. These things are not as precious as Energy Stones. Now, everyone is into super energy jewelry, and the prices of ordinary jewelry have dropped significantly. If this jewelry were from the past, it would definitely be worth millions. Buying a set to keep as an heirloom for our family is quite good.
When times are peaceful again, the price of these things will rise. Also, after being married to me for so many years, I haven’t given you anything precious. I wanted to give this to you before.”
Mother Song looked at the complete set of jewelry in the box: necklace, ring, earrings, and bracelet.
Her heart suddenly softened.
