Although the thief didn't say how much he wanted, Tianyang thought that he had more than 100,000 contribution points in his anonymous account, which should be enough to pay. So he agreed, and the secret party officially ended.
The guests left one after another.
When Tianyang was the only one left, Bidou came over and personally placed a glass of wine on the table in front of Tianyang.
"How was your first party, Mr. Death?"
Tian Yang did not drink the wine, and answered the question in a deep voice: "Very good, judging from the style, your founder should be from the Western Continent, right?"
Bidou answered the question irrelevantly, "Mr. Death has a very wide range of knowledge."
So, is this equivalent to acquiescence? The boy's heart moved slightly. It was not easy for the founder of the Western Continent to extend his influence to a fortress like Qingtian Castle located in the bay area.
Bidou then said, "I wonder if Mr. Death would like to attend the next party?"
Isn't it obvious? I have made an appointment with Mr. Thief...
"Of course, why do you say that, Mr. Bidou?" Tianyang asked.
Bidou smiled and said, "I was in a hurry last time, so I didn't explain it clearly to Mr. Death. Every secret party is free, but if you want to attend the party again in the future, we need Mr. Death to pay a deposit."
“Oh, how much is it?”
Bidou raised a finger and said, "Ten thousand contribution points per year, of course, only for the Sky Fortress. If Mr. Death travels to other places in the future and needs to attend secret parties in other fortresses, he only needs to apply for world-class VIP status here before leaving, and then he can freely attend secret parties held in any fortress."
It's really powerful.
Tian Yang took out his anonymous card very straightforwardly: "No problem, I'll pay for one year first."
Bi Dou took it and a waiter went down to handle the relevant formalities.
"In addition to secret parties, the Hunger Ball should have other services, right?" Tianyang asked tentatively.
Bidou smiled: "Of course, we provide a lot of services. However, each service has a corresponding VIP level. Take Mr. Death as an example. After you pay the deposit, you will become our junior VIP and have the right to participate in secret parties."
Tian Yang said, "How do I upgrade my VIP level?"
"Time, consumption, credit, influence..." Bidou said with a smile, "Generally speaking, we will evaluate you from these aspects. When you meet our evaluation requirements, we will naturally upgrade your VIP level."
Well, the hierarchy is strict and the barriers are clear. In other words, if you want to enjoy more services, you need to upgrade your VIP level.
Judging from the four factors mentioned, if you want to upgrade your VIP level, it is basically equivalent to tying yourself to this organization.
After a brief analysis of the situation, the waiter returned the anonymous card to Tianyang and presented him with a bronze emblem with the logo of the Hunger Ball.
A fat man with a smiling face holding a large piece of food. This pattern looks a bit funny, but the amount it represents is definitely not light.
"Please keep this emblem safe, it represents your identity. If you lose it, please inform us as soon as possible. In addition..."
Bidou lowered his voice and said, "The boss behind the Red Chimney is tracking you down, so please be careful.
We will provide some assistance to VIPs like you, such as confusing their sight and hearing and disguising your identity, but we cannot guarantee that everything will go wrong."
Tian Yang nodded and said, "I understand."
Bidou snapped his fingers and a waiter came over, "Mr. Death, please follow him. He will take you out through a secret route. You can use this route to secretly arrive here when you attend parties in the future."
Tianyang was very satisfied. This was the benefit that a VIP should have.
After leaving the Gray Market through a secret route, Tianyang returned to his apartment in the upper city late at night.
After hiding the mask, cloak and the emblem, he took out the two shadow skulls. When he put the two skulls together, he felt that the obsidian furnace in his wilderness of consciousness was vibrating slightly.
The dark particles released from the original furnace flowed into the two skulls from the boy's hands, and the skulls vibrated at the same time. Suddenly, the two skulls broke into countless tiny particles, which mixed together like fine sand, rotated under the traction of an invisible force, and reassembled into a wrist guard.
The surface of the wristband was very smooth, with a skull pattern outlined by several lines. Tianyang reached out and picked it up, only to find that the wristband was extremely cold.
Shadow Bracers (Incomplete): 67% of the completion progress. When the bracers are fully completed, a dark shadow can be released. In addition to the ability of the shadow, the shadow will awaken a new ability, the Shadow Claw.
call-
Tianyang smiled, he didn't expect that with just one upgrade, he could complete the task so quickly. With another Shadow Skull, he should be able to complete the wristband completely.
It seems that secret parties are indeed a good place to collect the things and information you want.
Tianyang put on the wristband and tried to activate it. The skull pattern on the wristband glowed with a faint purple light, and the lights in the living room immediately flickered.
Suddenly, the light dimmed, and a shadow appeared around Tianyang. He found that the shadow was thicker, and the dark energy surrounding his body was thicker than before.
Tianyang waved his arm casually, and the shadow made a synchronous movement, and a shadow blade slashed through the air. With a snap, the alloy table in the living room was immediately cut in half and fell to the ground with a bang.
The boy quickly removed the shadow to avoid tearing down his home.
I put away the other leftovers, took a shower, and went to bed.
Three days later, at four o'clock in the afternoon.
The fifth gate is the Gao family mansion!
Gao Yue walked in the corridor, feeling uneasy. The Yun family was hosting a banquet tonight, and as one of the top five families, the Gao family was naturally invited. As the eldest son and grandson, Gao Yue had a chance to attend the banquet, so he dared not neglect it.
He made great efforts to prepare for the evening cocktail party, collecting a list of names and information of the guests, intending to prepare himself to enter the circle of the upper class of the fortress.
But just now, he received a notice that the head of the Gao family, his grandfather Gao Ye, asked to see him.
Arriving at the study, Gao Yue took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
"Come in." A deep voice came from inside, with a hint of majesty. It was Gao Ye's voice.
Gao Yue pushed the door open gently, fearing that he might use too much force and make other noises.
In the study, an old man in blue was writing something, without even raising his head, completely concentrating.
The old man bathed in the afternoon sun was the helmsman of the Gao family. On the other side of the study, there was another tall old man with white hair and beard sitting in a chair.
He was sitting on the table, holding a cup of tea in one hand and a cake in the other, eating and drinking without caring about his image.
Gao Yue first respectfully said "Hello, Grandpa" to the old man in green, and then called the tall old man with white hair and a burly figure "Second Grandpa".
After finishing writing the last word, the old man in green let out a long breath and said to the old man with white hair cheerfully, "Second brother, come over and take a look at how I wrote this post."
The white-haired old man Gao Li didn't even look at it: "No, I'm not interested in those so-called anti-world cultures. Even if you let me see them, I can't see anything fancy."
The old man in green shook his head and laughed, "You rough guy, I asked you to keep an eye out for any treasures during the competition, but look what you brought back."
Gao Li rolled his eyes and said, "If you don't want to, go ahead and practice calligraphy in the study every day. Boss, be careful not to get stupid."
Gao Ye chuckled and looked at Gao Yue with a warm gaze: "Xiao Yue, how are you preparing for the Bai family's cocktail party tonight?"
Gao Yue said loudly: "In reply to Grandfather, Xiao Yue is ready. I have prepared the gifts you requested, and you can leave at any time."
Gao Ye nodded slightly: "Well, it's well done. You need to keep an eye on someone at night."
Gao Yue was stunned: "Please give me instructions, Grandpa."
Gao Ye said calmly, "The third young master of the Duan family in Jingtao Castle, the young master who is engaged to the sixth young lady of the Yun family, will also attend the reception tonight."
Gao Yue narrowed his eyes slightly: "The third young master of the Duan family, Duan Lang?"
Gao Ye smiled slightly and said, "It seems that you have also put some effort into Jingtao Fort. Yes, it is this Third Young Master. This is a good opportunity for you to make friends with him. The Duan family rarely leaves Jingtao Fort. There must be a deep meaning for them to appear at this time."
Considering that the war with Black Star Castle is about to begin, Jingtao Duan's sudden attendance at the Bai family's cocktail party does provide enough information for people to speculate.
Gao Yue bowed slightly and said, "Please rest assured, Grandpa. I will definitely seize this opportunity."
Gao Ye nodded: "That's good, go down and get ready, we have to leave at six o'clock sharp, there can be no delay."
"yes."
After Gao Yue left, the old man in green shirt's smile faded, he looked out the window, and suddenly sighed.
Gao Li put down a piece of rice cake, glanced at his eldest brother, and said calmly: "Boss, it's not your fault that there is a shortage of food, so stop whining."
Gao Ye smiled bitterly and said, "That being said, how can I not be worried? The Yun family has been noble for a hundred years, as one of the five sects of the Qingtian Sect. Now that there is a genius like Yun Feng among the three generations of disciples, we can enjoy another hundred years of wealth and honor."
"As for the Bai family, they suffered a slight blow because of Bai Lijie's incident. But they also have Bai Wuji who has awakened a special physique. Even if they cannot surpass the Yun family, it is more than enough to maintain the status of the family."
"What's more, Bai Shengjie's daughter is still young, but she is already a good player at level 4. Her potential is second only to Bai Wuji. The Bai family can rest assured with this pair of children."
"As for the Ling family, let alone Ling Feng, who is already the chief of staff of the Night Walkers, I'm afraid the position of the Night Walkers commander will fall on him in the future. But our Gao family..."
Gao Ye sighed, "I'm afraid that after a hundred years of our existence, the Gao family will begin to decline. Let's not talk about others, just take our Xiaoyue as an example. We are also third-generation people. The Yun family and the Bai family have already participated in the competition, but the number of times we have been to the Reverse Realm can be counted on dozens of fingers."
"How can we support our family if we say this..."
