"How annoying." Looking at the glittering gold invitation Han Guangyao took out, Su Ai covered her mouth shyly and smiled, then pulled Han Guangyao's bathrobe and turned off the lights in the room.
...
"Welcome to the ball?"
Su Luo looked at the black and gold invitation from Audemars Piguet and asked with a hint of confusion.
Are you kidding me? A welcome ball for humans and monsters together? Aren't you afraid the monsters will start fighting a bunch of base leaders and gifted individuals?
Is this how all bases in the capital city operate?
Judging from this posture, it doesn't seem like they want to be mortal enemies with the monsters at all; rather, it seems like they want to coexist peacefully with the monsters or even... submit to them.
"Only humans?"
"No, there are also other big shots from the world of strange creatures who were invited, as well as some exceptionally talented individuals."
The positive answer confirmed my guess.
interesting.
The capital is about to embark on a very new path, and perhaps not only the capital, Su Luo suddenly had a bad feeling.
This invitation brought away talented experts from various bases, including some high-ranking members. In other words, the major bases are currently in a vulnerable defensive position.
If a strange creature launches a large-scale attack now, or if the person in power remaining in the base is from the Imperial Capital Base!
etc!
Thinking of this, a hint of surprise flashed in Su Luo's eyes.
If she remembered correctly, Lin Shuyu left the Noah Base. The Xiao family is now just a figurehead in the Noah Base. The talent skill users of the entire Noah Base are in the hands of the Wu family. Isn't Old Master Lin all alone in Noah now?
Having understood the Imperial Capital Base's plan, Su Luo's expression turned slightly cold. Connecting this with his experiences in his previous life, it was clear that Lin Shuyu's death and the change of ownership of the Noah Base were both part of the Imperial Capital Base's plan. These people had never intended to resist the strange creatures, but rather to submit to them!
Haha, a bunch of spineless idiots!
Thinking of this, Su Luo sneered and reached out to take the invitation.
Since the people at the capital base are willing to act as dogs, she doesn't mind helping to train them.
"Okay, tell them I'll be there on time."
Upon hearing Su Luo's reply, Audemars Piguet remained outwardly calm but inwardly thrilled. He immediately nodded in agreement and went to give instructions to ensure Su Luo was well taken care of.
...
After learning the news from Han Guangyao, Su Ai took a shower and then began to groom herself from head to toe, left to right, and top to bottom, not even missing a single eyelash. With perfect makeup and a fashionable hairstyle, she tried her best to create a pure, cute, and innocent image.
After all, she relied on her innocent and pure style to dominate among the monster bosses, especially during the early days of the apocalypse, when she gained their favor with her appearance and managed to get away with it.
But this time, it's different from the past.
That's the issuer of Los Angeles currency, a mysterious entity that dares to challenge even ghost money. She had heard of it long ago at the Imperial Capital Base.
If she could climb up to such a powerful monster, she wouldn't need to travel to and from the Nine Netherworld Monster King City anymore, and at least she wouldn't have to get entangled in a disgusting, mere five-star monster.
"I hope you're a good-looking monster, otherwise it would be a disservice to your identity!" Su Ai looked at herself in the mirror, giving a sweet smile while complaining.
Unlike outsiders who were unaware of the inside story, Nangong Liuli was so surprised when she heard the news that her mouth could have swallowed an egg.
This, this is beyond Nangong Liuli's expectations. It was supposed to be about discussing abnormal weather and the strange phenomena of the apocalypse... wait!
The invitation only mentioned discussing how to deal with the apocalyptic anomalies, but surrendering to the anomalies is also an option!
No wonder they're making big invitations to humans on one side, while secretly extending invitations to all the high-level monsters and influential monster bosses on the other. They're trying to force everyone in the base to agree to these conditions!
Without a powerful talent to oversee the base, even if they disagree, the monsters can attack instantly, leaving them in a completely helpless situation with no other options.
In that case, tonight's ball is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface.
"Let's stop here first," Nangong Liuli said, leaving the room with a worried expression. She bumped right into Su Ai, who was dressed perfectly.
"Tsk, who is it? Are you blind?!" Su Ai, who was practicing her expressions in front of the makeup mirror, was bumped into and said impatiently in a low voice. When she looked up, she met Nangong Liuli's stunningly beautiful face with light makeup. She immediately felt threatened and filled with jealousy.
I glanced at this person's room. He seemed to be a guest from some outside base, but he was only staying on the third floor. It shouldn't be a large base. Look at his looks. To be able to survive in this apocalypse and even get into this meeting, he must be someone's little lover.
“…I’m sorry.” Knowing she was in the wrong, Nangong Liuli apologized. Su Ai snorted and glared at Nangong Liuli before shoving her aside and walking away haughtily.
Watching Su Ai's departing figure, Nangong Liuli frowned, thinking to herself, "Who are these people? They're from the Imperial Capital Base, so what?"
When Nangong Liuli arrived at the banquet, many people and the humanoid monsters mixed in with them had already gathered at the venue.
From Su Luo, Nangong Liuli learned that the higher the level of the strange creature, the more its appearance can change and resemble a human, and it may even have a more advanced appearance, like Ye Qinglan and Klot.
Occasionally, one or two oddly dressed humans would appear in the crowd, clearly in the form of monsters, but everyone seemed not to notice them, either silently retreating or going up to talk to them.
Especially some brightly dressed women, eager to display their charm to those special groups like peacocks spreading their tails.
That's insane.
They've all gone mad!
For a moment, Nangong Liuli felt that she must be crazy to see such a scene.
Initially, only handsome men and beautiful women from the capital city approached, but later more and more people from other bases joined in, seemingly vying for favor with the people from the capital city.
Seeing this, Nangong Liuli stumbled backward and bumped into someone.
"Feel sorry."
Are you alright?
Lin Shuyu looked down at Nangong Liuli, who had suddenly approached him and accidentally bumped into him, and asked politely but distantly.
"No, it's nothing." Nangong Liuli shook her head, stood up and silently retreated to Lin Shuyu's side, standing against the corner of the wall like Lin Shuyu, silently watching the absurd scene at the banquet.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have imagined that the Imperial Capital Base would be like this? It's rare to see the entire base willing to be a dog for the Nine Netherworld Ghost King City.
"Captain, Elder Lin has replied." Zhang Miaomiao cautiously walked in from outside the venue, leaned close to Lin Shuyu, and told her captain the news.
"This is the initial list of official personnel in charge of the Imperial Capital Base, sent by Grandpa Lin. Captain, take a look!"
