Crown Prince Zhao Huan:
Dad, you're not righteous! The Jin army is here, and you want to run. Take me with you! I don't want to be emperor.
Emperor Huizong Zhao Ji:
Raisin...
Lu Xueqi's eyes were shining. This environment, this furnishings. Ever since she left Qingyun Sect's Xiaozhu Peak and came to this world, she had been fighting most of the time and had no time to appreciate such peace and beauty.
Xiaobai's eyes were also shining. He said he didn't like seafood, but his body was honest. Johnny had never seen such a large display, with a dazzling array of ingredients: salmon, hairy crabs, grilled durian, lobster, crabs, oysters, fried chicken, French fries, grilled skewers, small hot pots, desserts, drinks, and delicious food piled together.
The main buffet restaurant of Triumph Jinyue is a couple's date series, with tables mainly accommodating two people and a few for four people.
Johnny nudged Zhang Xiaofan lightly, then chose a table for two, pulled the chairs out to the appropriate width, and made a gentlemanly invitation to Xiaobai.
Zhang Xiaofan followed suit, and Lu Xueqi was gentle and affectionate.
Johnny could see clearly that Lu Xueqi was a little bit petty bourgeois, and the children were always chattering and noisy, so he took the four children to a four-person table a little further away, and told them where to get the plates, where to get the drinks, and where to order hot pot.
"Eat it all, take as much as you can, and don't waste it!"
"Yes, sir." The children could no longer sit still and went to get their food while playing and fighting.
When Johnny returned to his seat, Xiaobai's front was already piled with food. He was holding a roasted leg of lamb and eating it with his mouth full of oil.
When everyone else is enjoying their meal, it affects your appetite. Johnny can't wait to join the foodies. One king crab leg, two oysters with bullets, one wild yellow croaker...
When it comes to buffets, the more the better. Everyone present, with the exception of Johnny, is a true glutton. Even the elegant Lu Xueqi has a pile of empty plates beside her. If a cross-disciplinary eating competition could be held, none of the other eating broadcasters on Earth would be able to come close.
After having a good meal and a good drink, Johnny took a few people to choose their own room as their home inside Joy City.
As a huge shopping mall, the previous owner of Xidan Joy City also reserved some suites for entertaining guests. Unlike the mall cinemas and company stores that were rented out, these did not require additional payment.
There are 60 presidential suites on the 80th to 85th floors, with 10 on each floor. All of them are extremely luxurious and come in a variety of styles, including Chinese, Western, luxurious, elegant, gorgeous, and simple. There is nothing you don't like, only you can't afford it.
Johnny recommended a fully intelligent home that combines Chinese and Western styles to Zhang Xiaofan and Lu Xueqi. It has a study, a tea room, a wardrobe, a dressing mirror, and a large bathtub with built-in massage, making it extremely comfortable to take a bath.
Xiaobai and the four children also had their own choices. What surprised Johnny the most was Mili, a little girl who chose the One Piece-style anime-style presidential suite.
"It has a future. Xiao Mi Li has a future."
At this moment, as the group was immersed in a rare moment of joy, in the dark restricted area of Summoner's Rift, Elise, the Spider Goddess's beloved general, set off for the border town of Daming on a mysterious mission.
(Regarding the time setting, the protagonist Johnny travels back in time to a point in time when the Qin, Han, Tang, Song, and Ming dynasties coexisted in the same world for a thousand years. Counting a thousand years from 1368, the year the Ming Dynasty was founded, means the time point in the past is equivalent to 2368 years on Earth. The Nurgan Regional Military Commission was established in 1411, with a history of 957 years.)
Thousands of miles south of Huqi Mountain, across the vast frozen wasteland, is the northernmost town of the Ming Dynasty - Nurgandusi.
The Nurgan Regional Military Commission, established in 1411, was formerly the Eastern Expedition Marshal's Office during the Yuan Dynasty. The Xing'an Mountains are home to numerous ferocious beasts, demons, and monsters. The harsh, cold conditions make it unsuitable for growing crops, and the Mongol, Jurchen, and Kuyi peoples who inhabit them primarily rely on gathering and hunting.
As the saying goes, poor mountains and bad waters breed unruly people. Since the establishment of the Nurgan Regional Military Commission in 957, it has attracted not only the indigenous people but also a large number of extremely vicious individuals. There are murderers on the run, hunters who lure and kill ferocious animals, herbalists who dig ginseng in the old forests, and the death squads of the aristocratic families...
There are countless small forces in the current Nurgan Regional Command, but there are three major forces.
First and foremost were the Ming officials. Provincial governors commanded the yamen, commanders led the garrisons, and the Secret Service commanded the spies. Three thousand yamen runners and fifty thousand border troops were the visible forces. The spies, capable of stopping a child's night cry, were exceptional individuals with unique skills. Their whereabouts and their activities were unknown, but they were a sharp sword hanging over everyone's head. When the Secret Service appeared before you, all you could hope for was a quick death.
Second in line was the Chamber of Commerce. The skulls and pelts of ferocious beasts were symbols of honor for the powerful, while the ginseng from the Greater Khingan Mountains was a precious elixir of longevity. The high profits attracted thousands of hunters, herbalists, and desperate individuals hoping to get rich quick. The Chamber of Commerce was the loosest of the three, yet also the most united, on the premise that their money remained untouched.
In third place were the Forbidden Zone Envoys. Originally stationed here were the descendants of the Two-Headed Wolf from Summoner's Rift's Dark Forbidden Zone, along with some werewolves with Two-Headed Wolf bloodlines. As the Commander-in-Chief prepared to lead the border troops to encircle and kill the Two-Headed Wolf, the Forbidden Zone Envoys were either killed or fled. After the arrival of Fox Qi Mountain, the Two-Headed Wolf was annihilated by the Divine Sword's Lightning Control Technique. Xiao San and Xiao Liu, a couple from Fox Qi Mountain, along with the disciples they had trained over the decades, became the new Forbidden Zone Envoys.
The Nurgan region had been abuzz with joy and excitement recently, simply because one of the supreme rulers of the region, Governor Cheng, had chosen to marry his third concubine, Lu Xianfeng, on June 21st.
