After successfully passing through security, Lin Caogen and his family finally entered the city of Haojing!
The first thing to do upon entering the city is naturally to find something to eat!
I asked a few passersby, and they all said that the most bustling place in Beijing is the Bund Pedestrian Street!
It turns out that a natural Emerald River flows through the city of Haojing! This Emerald River meanders through the city, its waters as blue as jade, making it the most beautiful waterway in the city! The banks of the Emerald River are lined with famous restaurants, art galleries, and commercial markets! Social elites love to sing and compose poems along the Emerald River!
The Emerald River boasts a rich history and culture, and many touching love stories have been born there! These include tales such as Du Shiniang angrily sinking her treasure chest, Zhang Shun, the white-striped fisherman, finding true love while fishing for gold in the Emerald River, the legend of Widow Zhang in the Emerald River anti-drug murder case, and Liang Shanbo's encounter with Zhu Yingtai at the bottom of the river!
In short, most of the culture of Gaojing City is related to the Emerald River! And the Bund Pedestrian Street is built in the area where the Emerald River makes a 90-degree turn! Here, you can not only admire the beautiful scenery of the Emerald River, but also drink and enjoy tea in the high-rise buildings on the riverbank and watch dancers. It is truly the best place to relax and unwind.
Lin Caogen brought his family to the Hedilao Hot Pot restaurant on the Emerald River Bund Pedestrian Street!
Hedilao has a long history and more than a dozen chain stores, the largest of which is the flagship store on the Bund Pedestrian Street!
Before we even reached the entrance, a waiter from Hedilao had already rushed up to us. A waiter with the figure of a car model quickly stepped forward and said, "Good afternoon, sir! And the three ladies are so beautiful! Please come and dine at Hedilao! Today we are offering complimentary nail polish application and a face-changing performance. If you spend over 300 cents, you will also receive a complimentary bottle of luxury carriage windshield washer fluid and four boxes of refreshing chewing gum! Here is the menu, please take a look."
Lin Caogen exclaimed, "The service at Hedilao is truly as good as its reputation! Great! Let's go in and have a taste! Order!"
The waitress smiled and said, "Sir, you're right! Besides our delicious hot pot, what we at Hedilao specialize in is our service! Think about it! You can make hot pot at home, so why come to a restaurant? In addition to our fresh ingredients and excellent knife skills, the most important thing is our service! Sir, you can order first, and I'll take the three ladies to get their nails painted!"
Fu Yunxuan, Du Yumei, and Mu Wanqing were extremely interested in painting their nails, and their faces showed anticipation!
Lin Caogen said, "Okay! You take them there, I'll order the food!"
Another waitress, who looked like a car model, held up a crystal panel and said, "Sir, you can order here. Just tap the crystal panel with your finger, and the menu information will be sent to the kitchen!"
Lin Caogen picked up the crystal panel and examined it carefully. He discovered that it was actually a sound wave transmitter. By clicking on different locations, different sound waves would be transmitted to the kitchen and recorded! At the same time, the crystal panel had colorful pictures of the dishes, which was indeed much more vivid than the text descriptions in other hotels!
Lin Caogen tapped his fingers a few dozen times, and soon the Nine-Point World hot pot base was served, followed by dishes such as Snow Leopard Tripe, Lingshan Potato Slices, Desert Bean Sprouts, and Deep-Sea Chicken Feet. With all the dishes served, Fu Yunxuan, Mu Wanqing, and Du Yumei, having finished painting their nails, happily returned to their seats!
The waiter thoughtfully brought over two boxes of candied hawthorns and distributed free items such as wet towels, oil-proof aprons, disposable hairpins, and plant-based hair ties to everyone.
Du Yumei said, "This is my first time in a first-tier city, and my first time eating Hedi Lao hot pot! I'm so excited! The service here is excellent! The hot pot smells so good!"
Lin Caogen smiled with satisfaction: "As long as you're happy! Come and eat!"
The three women picked up a piece of snow leopard tripe with their chopsticks and found it to be incredibly delicious, spicy, and fragrant!
Suddenly, three men and three women at the next table started chatting and laughing excitedly!
One of the lewd-looking men spoke up: "Have you heard? This year, the Brahma Valley has transferred three new disciples from Central Continent to compete in the Top 100 Tournament! They are all at the peak of the 9th level of the Core Formation stage!"
"Huh? That can't be!"
A woman with freckles on her face said, "I heard that the Top 100 Competition requires participating disciples to be no older than 300! How could Brahma Valley allow such an old disciple to participate!"
The lewd man said, "What do you know? Those three aren't over the age limit! They're all said to be only 299 years old! Their bone age has been measured! This time, Brahma Valley is determined to win first place in the Top 100 Sects Tournament! I heard that after the disciples finish their competition, it'll be the masters' turn! After the masters finish their competition, Brahma Valley will dominate the martial arts world!"
Another man with a scar on his face said, "It seems to be true! I've heard that the Brahma Valley is going to promote the merger of the top 100 sects. Now, as long as the disciple in the valley is number one, we can hold another teacher competition and let the teacher in the valley also win first place. This way, we can convince everyone, and it wouldn't be a problem for him to become the leader of the top 100 sects."
The lewd man chuckled, "I heard that the actions of the Brahma Valley are orchestrated by the Purple Star Emperor! The Immortal Gang Continent is divided into ten regions, and it's said that the sects in the other nine regions are starting to merge. Our Immortal Gang Continent has the most sects and the most diverse sects, and so far, there's still no unification!"
The freckled woman said, "I see! With political support, Brahma Valley is bound to win this time!"
Upon hearing this, Fu Yunxuan snorted coldly!
Lin Caogen asked, "Yunxuan! Is something on your mind?"
Fu Yunxuan shook her head and said, "No! I just don't like the current style of the Brahma Valley!"
Lin Caogen said, "Actually, there's nothing wrong with merging the top 100 sects! Unity is strength!"
Fu Yunxuan said, "Grassroots, you don't know! In fact, the Ziwei Emperor has been in seclusion all along, and now the affairs of the Ziwei District are all handled by the Eastern Immortal Saint. The seven people sent by the Brahma Valley this time were also sent at the behest of the Eastern Immortal Saint! I heard my master say that the Eastern Immortal Saint has learned demonic arts! Although these may all be rumors, judging from the way the people he sent acted, they are indeed not very good!"
