With Eiffel's help, Gu Xinghe put on an elaborate and gorgeous banquet dress.
The white shirt underneath features gold patterns at the collar and sleeves.
The impeccably tailored black suit trousers were impeccably tailored.
On the outermost layer of the black tailcoat, a rose was pinned to the pocket on the breast.
As night fell, before the banquet began, Gu Xinghe finally met Chris.
There seemed to be a lingering weariness in her eyes, a weariness that seemed to emanate from her very soul.
But when she saw Gu Xinghe, she still smiled and took his arm.
"Actually, we only need to show our faces at the banquet tonight."
"Oh, so it's all so I can learn to dance, so you're forced to show my face no matter what?"
Gu Xinghe felt that Chris had been exposed by him.
She leaned on his arm and chuckled softly.
"That's not the case either."
Although I used some tricks to make the Thorn Cult believe that I was killed by the Holy Lance from the beginning.
After that, I fled all the way to this almost isolated town.
But in the end, he was also sealed and imprisoned here.
To avoid being isolated from information, Rose Manor actually owns quite a few businesses.
I'll have Eiffel tidy it up for you to see later.
Consider it a betrothal gift.
As Chris casually recounted her experiences, Gu Xinghe naturally embraced her, but offered no words of comfort.
But to his surprise, the other party immediately changed the subject.
Hearing Chris's thoughts about the betrothal gifts, Gu Xinghe was both amused and exasperated.
Chris didn't want them to discuss heavy, serious topics.
Even now, the other party is still carefully considering his feelings.
Regardless, Gu Xinghe still felt his brow twitch violently a few times.
So he followed up on the topic Chris had deliberately changed—
His right hand transformed into a chopstick and gently tapped Chris on the head.
"I have a feeling that you're thinking about something very dangerous right now."
"How is that possible?"
As always, the more she was exposed, the calmer Chris's expression became.
If Gu Xinghe hadn't been able to hear her thoughts, he felt he wasn't as sophisticated as Chris.
Continuing the conversation from the banquet, Chris finished her explanation.
"Then, with more business, it's natural to maintain those cold business partnerships with others."
Our main purpose at the banquet was to make our presence felt in front of that upper-class group, so they wouldn't forget I was there.
For an alchemy master who was once skilled at making alchemical dolls, developing his own business and industry would naturally not be difficult.
Of course, alchemy is a field that is prohibited from being studied by many countries on the continent.
Chris is currently in a weakened state.
They are also not convenient to sell directly to outsiders, as they are openly prohibited but are actually very popular with the upper echelons of organizations.
Chris's business must be selling either diluted, diluted, or diluted civilian versions.
They either used some underhanded tactics to assist in the development of their own industries.
The industries she has established may also harbor some intention to infiltrate the Qiming Empire.
...
Magnificent and resplendent, with toasts and laughter filling the air.
Guests continued to arrive for the banquet.
They seemed to have a particular fondness for banquets held in secluded ancient castles.
The elaborately decorated banquet hall was brightly lit.
An exquisite crystal chandelier hangs from the ceiling, making it exceptionally dazzling.
Dark red velvet curtains covered the window sashes, reflecting the glow of the candlelight on the table.
A carefully prepared meal was laid out on one side of the banquet hall.
Fragrant yet not greasy meat dishes, and delicate, petite desserts and cakes.
A variety of fruits with rich, round colors, and delicious wines produced on-site.
The snow-white plates and gleaming silver cutlery were neatly arranged to the side.
The dining table was decorated with bright red roses in full bloom.
The arriving guests were dressed in proper and formal attire, and all wore various masks.
The entire banquet looked luxurious and elegant.
Thump—thump—thump—
As Chris stepped onto the stage, all the whispers around her abruptly ceased.
Tonight, she wore a fitted red mermaid-style gown that accentuated her beautiful figure.
She wore a red mask with the same pattern as Gu Xinghe's black mask.
After giving a toast, Chris drank the pale golden liquid in her glass.
The music started playing at just the right moment.
Standing to the side, Gu Xinghe naturally extended his hand and invited Chris to dance the first opening dance.
Turn around, slide, rotate...
As the romantic music played, Gu Xinghe felt as if he and Chris were the only two people in the world at that moment.
He leaned forward and embraced Chris's waist. As the dance ended, the surrounding guests politely applauded.
After that, everyone else also entered the dance floor.
The banquet had only just begun when it was time for Gu Xinghe and Chris to leave.
Although for him, the banquet could already be considered over at this point.
But the greatest dangers that other players will face in this instance are only just beginning.
After receiving etiquette training, the four players were assigned to serve as waiters at the evening's banquet.
Thinking about this, Gu Xinghe believed that the timing of administering the medicine to them was just right.
The waiters that players encounter in Rose Manor are all lifeless alchemical dolls.
From any perspective, humans can be described as [filthy].
Compared to man-made alchemical creations.
The indigenous people who have lived in this world for a long time will only bear more pollution from this world.
And naturally it will be even "dirtier".
Perhaps they have become accustomed to this "pollution" and will no longer experience any abnormalities as a result.
But for players to confront them is no different from confronting the unknown and the bizarre.
Previously, Gu Xinghe had made them drink the Type II drug.
Theoretically, it is possible to enhance mental strength and improve rationality in a short period of time.
This is a perfect way to test whether the potion a player takes will work when facing the unknown.
I sat on the windowsill of my room on the third floor.
Gu Xinghe looked down at the brightly lit buildings below, but none of it concerned him.
He directed the tentacles to emerge from the shadows and pour him a glass of wine.
This is Gu Xinghe's newly discovered method of using tentacles.
After finishing pouring the wine, he patted his tentacles, which happily burrowed back in.
The tentacles are an extension of Gu Xinghe's own body.
If someone orders you around and then ruthlessly sends you home afterwards.
That must mean you're overflowing with negative emotions.
But now I'm pouring myself a drink to make myself happy, isn't that double the joy?
As always, viewers in the live stream were unable to see the tentacles.
Gu Xinghe found their various imaginative ideas quite amusing.
