Qin Fei said it was up to him and he would just watch from the side.
Ino perked up and looked for a Pegasus horse that best met his aesthetic standards and was at level five. He picked and chose in the stable and chose a red one with a white spot on its forehead and light red wings. The height of the horse's back was exactly the same as Ino's height.
The trainer was a handsome female insect who had retired from the army and was very experienced. She slowly taught Eno how to approach the Pegasus and how to touch it more comfortably...
Qin Fei watched from the side. After a few hours, Ino was able to lead the horse out for a walk by himself. Now these Pegasus, except for Mephitus, had no names, only numbers. When a bug successfully climbed on their backs without being rejected and recognized him as the master, it would have the right to name them. Ino had already thought of a name and was waiting to make a name tag for him on the day he climbed on the horse.
It was almost noon, and Eno said goodbye to Tianma reluctantly, planning to continue after dinner and strike while the iron was hot.
The underground is where you eat. There are four floors in the basement. The first floor is the kitchen and restaurant, the second floor is the entertainment hall, the third floor is the swimming pool, and the fourth floor is the meditation room and training ground. Although the meditation room and training ground are small, they cost a lot of money.
"You said that the main guests are male insects, so why is there a meditation room?" Ino wondered, who would come here to practice?
"It's mainly to provide a place for the communicating male insects to demonstrate."
The third floor is just a body of water with some water entertainment facilities. Going to the second floor, there is a large hall that can accommodate many insects, and some small private rooms. There are no entertainment facilities in the hall. There is a large counter filled with various fine wines and teas. The light is yellowish, a warm color. Listening to the soft music, the insects relax unconsciously.
"What does this entertainment hall offer?"
"I mainly provide a place for socializing. I only provide some basic tower cards, dice, props, etc. I put a lot of effort into the wine here. The round table above is for guests to use. Anyone who is interested can improvise a song. Usually, there are hired insects playing music and singing on it."
"Will this attract customers?" Ino asked, but he was sure in his heart that although these were ordinary, they could still attract some male insects who didn't like too much noise. This place was not suitable for noise. If there were enough insects here and they were heavy, many of them would be willing to come here.
"In addition to not allowing members to enter, both male and female insects can only bring one non-member in. My place is not suitable for too many insects, and the friends I invite would not like an environment with too many insects."
"Are you going to officially enter the social circle?" Ino asked.
"……Um"
"Then let me tell you, even if there is nothing here, there will be plenty of insects coming to support you." Eno took another look at the plants placed around here. The concealment at the back was really good. If you were not careful, you would not be able to find the insects. It was really Qin Fei's style.
"..." What truth are you talking about?
Finally, there is the restaurant on the first floor. It is now empty as the waiters have not come to work yet. Only the kitchen is bustling with activity as they prepare new dishes.
The restaurant was elegantly decorated. There were many landscape paintings and magical plants hanging on the walls, creating a far-reaching artistic conception. The tables and chairs were placed in an orderly manner. On each table there was a vase of flowers or a fresh fruit bowl, emitting a floral or fruity fragrance that pleased insects. There was also enough space between each table. Ino randomly picked a table and sat down.
"What are your signature dishes? Bring them all up."
The chef had already prepared the food and came out with a food cart.
Ino was stunned when he saw the table filled with food. In addition to the classic dishes that he was familiar with, there were also some that he had never seen before. Those should be the ones brought back from Aquamarine. He immediately became interested.
Qin Fei also picked up his chopsticks. Both of them focused on the new dishes and finished them in no time. After eating and drinking, Aino gave a thumbs up: "This cooking skill is great!"
Qin Fei felt satisfied when he heard this.
After a few days, Qin Fei sent invitations to his old friends and recognized classmates, and almost all of them came. Xi Yuan's cousin Xi Hong even came a day in advance to help, so that he could introduce some people Qin Fei didn't know. People like him are called introducers among the nobles. They are usually the elders among the close relatives and in-laws, and are responsible for introductions in the social interactions of the next generation in the family. Qin Fei has no older brother. Although his uncle has a cousin who is older than him, their families live far away and are not emotionally compatible. Xi Yuan is an only child, so his cousin took on the responsibility.
The opening banquet was held in the form of a buffet on the grass beside the pond. Qin Fei and Xi Hong welcomed the guests at the gate of the manor, while Xi Yuan and Xi Hong's female Jun Leda entertained the guests in the back. Qin Hong was supposed to come as well, but the instructor called him away temporarily to attend some special training camp.
Qin Fei was wearing a formal suit and smiling as he introduced and communicated with the male insects he knew but had never talked to before one by one. He was not a fluent speaker, but he had no problem saying a few words with a smile on his face, so the male insects who had close contact with him for the first time all left a gentle and non-arrogant comment.
This time he invited more than a hundred people who were not relatives by marriage, such as male insects from the Xi family, Lin family, He family, and Keller family. They were heirs of second-rate families like the Qin family. People from first-rate families were also invited, plus a companion they brought with them. There were a total of 136 people, of whom only about 40 had previously interacted and communicated with him, including Wen Jing and Wen He from the Wen family. This time Wen Jing did not bring his female monarch, but this cousin. It seemed that their relationship had made great progress during this period, otherwise he would not have brought him here.
Moreover, Qin Fei was a little surprised. It had only been a short time, but Wen He's mental strength had already broken through to level five. Even if his supernatural powers remained at the original level, it was enough to surprise Chong.
"Congratulations!"
"Thank you, I admire you very much. You are younger than me." Wen He, who knew the difficulty of upgrading mental power through training, really thought Qin Fei was amazing. Even though he was highly talented and it would be easier for him to upgrade, he still needed to put in enough effort.
Qin Fei smiled. He had been congratulated on this point by almost every guest tonight. He could not see anything from most of them, but from some of them the envy and jealousy were very obvious. And from this one, he also felt the sincerity.
"Everyone can do it if they work hard. This is my club card. You're welcome to come here in the future. The food here is good, and there's a small training ground. If you're interested, you can come and play." He handed over a thin card shaped like a snowflake. As for Wen Jing's, he had already sent it along with the invitation letter.
Wen He hesitated for a moment, but didn't pretend to be polite. He thanked him and accepted it directly. According to his understanding, this kind of club requires a large amount of money every year. He didn't know how much it would cost here. It was founded by a level nine male insect, so it should be a lot. Should the money he has on hand be enough? If not, he can find a job. He has the impression that male insects working part-time are still quite popular.
After a few simple words, they were led inside by the waiter, while Qin Fei and Xi Hong continued to stand at the door.
That night, the muscles on Qin Fei's face were sore from smiling. It was the first time he drank a lot of wine, but he could drink well, so his face just turned red and he was not drunk. However, the others who were serving wine poured a lot of wine. The manor did not slowly regain its peace until late at night. Some people went back, and some stayed here. Qin Fei thanked Xi Hong. He got to know a lot of male insects tonight under his introduction. He also tried his best and explained in detail. It can be said that he was very responsible. In addition to this thank you, he also wanted to give a thank-you gift in return.
The harvest was naturally full. The next day, Qin Fei received many invitations to attend parties. Qin Fei did not refuse and took Xi Yuan with him. Xi Hong went back after the opening day, and his social life was up to him after that.
The times for posting are basically staggered, and Qin Fei basically goes there every time, as if he is in a hurry. Every time he goes, a lot of insects will come up to him on their own initiative. Of course, there are relatively few who actively promote female insects to him. Most of them hope that they can have a chance to cooperate together. For these, Qin Fei will first accept their contact information.
After being busy for quite a while, they finally calmed down. Not only Qin Fei, but Xi Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief. During this period, they didn't even have time to care for their cubs. They spent a whole day playing with the two cubs at Youwu Villa to make up for it.
After school, Qin Fei and Xi Yuan went to the club. Qin Fei had no classes in the afternoon. Later, there were Aino, Chang Jihai and Wenhe. Chang Jihai was from the Chang family. After several gatherings, they found that they had a lot in common and started playing together. They were both students of the First Military Academy, but he was a senior in the command department. He hoped to go to the battlefield one day.
As soon as they arrived at the club, the three of them all ran to the stables at the back. They each had a tamed Pegasus, which they had given themselves a name, and whenever they had time they would come here to ride laps around the horses to deepen their relationship.
After running a few laps happily and satisfying their craving, they went to the pond, sat down at a random spot and started fishing.
Eno looked at the not-so-small number of bugs and said, "The membership cards you gave out were all exempt from the first year's membership fee. You will lose a lot this year."
Qin Fei nodded: "Yes, but it's okay." After all, the restaurant, accommodation and other miscellaneous things also need to be paid, and the restaurant is more popular than he thought. Moreover, many male insects who don't have memberships want to come in and have to buy them under the condition of introduction, so the actual loss is not much.
"It was like this in the beginning. The money I invested was quickly recovered. I'm a member, and several male insects have approached me hoping that I could recommend them. Unfortunately, a member can only recommend five new members, and my last recommendation just ran out yesterday." Chang Jihai spread his hands.
Wenhe also agreed: "Mine too, I have recommended them all."
"I still have two left, but these two have also been reserved, one for my female lord's younger brother, and one for my female father." Ino also sighed.
"A friend of mine came here once, and he said he felt very comfortable here, and that all the members are male insects, and that the people they bring are mostly females, so it's very quiet." Not many female insects will take the initiative to introduce themselves, and although male insects do enjoy this, they can sometimes feel annoyed if there are too many of them.
