People came in one after another, no one caused trouble, and there were no emergencies.
No matter what the relationship between the guests is, even if they are enemies with a blood feud, when they walk into the banquet hall door together, they can only make a few sarcastic remarks to each other, and it has not developed into a full-scale martial arts.
Those who really have itchy hands and hearts can only suppress their urge to move after seeing groups of powerful warriors with special abilities and rows of machine guns inside and outside the banquet hall.
Nowadays, superpowers are indeed in power, but while the government system still exists and takes up most of the force and materials, everything has not reached the point of irreparability, especially since this is the capital of the country and the center of the political system.
Xiao Mo and his party entered the banquet hall at five minutes past six.
There is no roll call, but there is a sign-in area. Visitors only need to state their names, and the waiters will find out your names and verify them. Then, according to the order of entry, a small sign will be issued. There are numbers on the sign, and it is said that you can draw a lottery.
Xiao Mo looked at the 113 written on the cardboard and smiled.
To be honest, after hearing the reminder from Luosang and Lei Bing, Xiao Mo thought that a few provocateurs would jump out at the door of the banquet hall, but he never expected that they would enter the banquet hall so peacefully and without any disturbance.
This is a large banquet hall that can hold state banquets and can easily accommodate five thousand people.
The hall has adopted a buffet style, and all the sumptuous and delicious drinks and meals have been set out. Many people who came to the banquet tonight came for the buffet and rushed to the food area as soon as they entered.
No one laughed at these people. After the earthquake, the whole of China was like a broken spider web. In addition, after the earthquake, various viruses, monsters, strange beasts, man-eating plants and insects appeared all over China, plus some After gaining the ability, people with ulterior motives started to cause trouble internally, and the productivity and prosperity of the entire China regressed to the time of war, or even worse. Under such circumstances, it was difficult for many ordinary people to eat enough, let alone eat such rich food and drinks as today.
Mr. Yang's car was right behind Xiao Mo and his friends, and the two parties naturally stood together in the banquet hall.
Xiao Mo and Xue Lihong were not too eye-catching at first, but first they were accompanied by Colonel Lausanne in military uniform, and then Mr. Yang, the most respected person in the Academy of Sciences, smiled at them. Naturally, more people paid attention to them. .
Some people who have obtained inside information and information about Xiao Mo have naturally recognized that this is the healer that the government is most eager for.
"Did you see that person over there? Xiao Mo is said to be the highest-level healer at present. He can even treat dense fog syndrome." A young man like a young man reminded people around him to pay attention.
"Oh? How about that A Ning next to Minister Bao?" The man immediately looked at Xiao Mo.
The young master smiled half-heartedly, "I heard that Minister Bao used ten thousand powers to get Xiao Mo to save his life. Who do you think is more powerful?"
"Be good! I am omnipotent!" The man exclaimed.
Of course, these two people were not the only ones talking about Xiao Mo at the same time, and the conversations of other people were much more in-depth than these two people.
For example, Liu Fanghua, the boss of the Flying Eagle team who ranks first among the four major mercenary teams, said with a fake but genuine envy: "Impotent, if he can come to our team, let him not talk about anything else, just let him specialize in driving." With just one outpatient clinic, our mercenary team can make a lot of money."
His best friend is also his deputy Zhang Qianxiao, "Yes, if Captain Xiao is willing to come to our place, we will never have to worry about switching skills in the future. However, we have this intention, and others do not." Really? You see, if this person’s ability is not blown away, the fun is still to come.”
Liu Fanghua was puzzled, "I see that Xiao Mo and Mr. Yang have a very good relationship. I heard that the person who picked him up today is also the garrison colonel Lausanne. Lausanne is a well-known confidant of our president. Does this count as having joined the president? that side?"
Zhang Qian's eyes sparkled with wisdom and he analyzed logically: "If I were Xiao Mo, I would never decide which side to join so quickly, unless the Zhongshan base has sold him to the president, but we haven't heard any relevant news yet. , which proves that he hasn’t made a decision yet. Do you think, with Xiao Mo’s special and precious abilities, if he has really joined the president’s side, the president will still remain silent?”
Liu Fanghua thought for a while and shook his head, "No, if I were Zhou Fang, after confirming that Xiao Mo had joined our side, I would definitely publicize the news. We all know that in today's environment, it is difficult for an organization to obtain a high-ranking official. How extraordinary it is to be a first-level healer."
Zhang Qian suddenly stared, "Wait a minute, Tianlong's group seems to be planning to be the first to eat the crabs."
Liu Fanghua squinted at his right corner. There was a group of people standing there. All of these people's clothes had a flying dragon with fangs and claws embroidered on the back.
Liu Fanghua curled his lips and said, "A bunch of idiots!" He didn't know whether he was despising the Tianlong Mercenary Team's logo or mocking their behavior as an outpost.
18:18 minutes.
Someone was impatient to listen to those scientific researchers tricking his boss into doing more experiments for free. He pulled his boss's arm and said with a dead face: "I'm hungry, I want to eat beef, a lot of beef!"
Xiao Mo was also very attracted to the pile of delicacies not far away. It happened to be dinner time, but when he came in, he was with Mr. Yang and the others. The scientific researchers still remained excited about the experiments in the afternoon. They kept talking to him about the ideas for future experiments and how to help him further evolve and develop his abilities. These people were so focused and crazy when it came to their work that he was too embarrassed to leave them.
In the end, it was Old Man Yang who was an old man. He saw that Vice Captain Xue's patience had reached its limit and waved his hands, "It's getting late. Everyone is going to get food to fill their stomachs. The president, congressmen and others will come to the stage to speak later. What do you think?" If you want to eat or drink again, you’ll have to wait a little longer.”
The researchers suddenly understood and laughed sheepishly, then dispersed in twos and threes. Xue Lihong also successfully dragged his boss to the buffet.
But just when Xue Lihong was holding the plate and ready to pick, the Tianlong team member with a dragon embroidered on the back of his clothes came over.
The man faced Xiao Mo and said politely with a hint of arrogance: "You are the healer Xiao Mo, right? Our boss has admired your name for a long time and would like to invite you to come and have a chat."
Xiao Mo just picked up the clip and had to put it down when he heard this - everyone was queuing up, so he couldn't hold on to the clip and had to step away a few steps to avoid blocking other feeders.
"Who are you?" Xiao Mo motioned to Xue Lihong and left him alone.
Xue Lihong took the plate and began to eat his favorite food leisurely.
Tianlong team member, "We are the Tianlong Mercenary Team, one of the four major mercenary teams in the capital. I wonder if you have heard of it?" Although he asked this, his expression was sure that you must have heard of it.
Xiao Mo nodded slowly, "I've heard that you guys are very famous. But I'm hungry now and don't want to chat with others for the time being. If your boss has something to do, you might as well wait until we are both free. What do you think?"
There were many people looking at them, overtly or covertly, which made Xiao Mo very uncomfortable.
There was a little disdain in the Tianlong team's eyes, but he thought he hid it well, "You are a healer and one of the most precious abilities. As long as you join our Tianlong team, what do you want to eat in the future? Besides, here is the only It's just a buffet. If Mr. Xiao is really hungry, our boss has already set up a banquet at the largest restaurant in the capital just to invite you. As long as you agree, we can escort you away now."
Xue Lihong came over with two piled plates and put them in Xiao Mo's hands. "Here, I'm going to get some more fruits. I saw watermelons. They look pretty good. But you have to move quickly." , those people are taking it one plate at a time.”
After saying that, Xue Lihong really ran away.
Xiao Mo looked down at the various flavors of beef piled high on the two large plates, speechless. How much his Xiaohong loves to eat beef!
The Tianlong team members saw all the actions of Xiao Mo and Xue Lihong just now, and the disdain in their eyes almost turned into reality. He was surprised. He heard that these two people came from the Zhongshan base. Zhongshan was one of the twelve largest bases in the country, and Xiao Mo was a precious healer. Why was he still so greedy for food
The Tianlong team member suddenly thought of a possibility: Could it be that the healer in front of him was a parallel import? And it was because Zhongshan Base knew this secret that it so easily released such a precious healer to the capital. Well, that must be the case!
When the Tianlong team members looked at Xiao Mo again, they felt that the halo on him had disappeared, but asking Xiao Mo to come over was a task given to him by their boss. He had no choice but to complete it, so he could only "persuad" again: "The banquet prepared by our boss is better than These are much more upscale, if you like beef and watermelon, we can have a bunch of them delivered to you tonight!"
Xiao Mo had a good temper, but he was tired of being "persuaded" by this person again and again. He raised the plates in both hands and said, "We already have food. Thank you for the invitation. Can you give in?"
The Tianlong player almost said "Don't be so shameless", but he finally held back. But what he said next became very rude: "I said Mr. Xiao, Nao Qiao also has a number. Who is our Tianlong boss? It's best for you to understand before you say no. Our boss is willing to treat Xian as a corporal. That's for the sake of it." On the face of your extraordinary ability. But don’t forget that you are a healer. No matter how valuable your ability is, if no one protects you, you are nothing. And the entire capital can protect you and allow you to live a life you never imagined before. Less than…”
"Bang!" A water glass was slapped on the Tianlong player's face and cracked.
The water in the water glass wet the face of the Tianlong team member.
Xue Lihong let go of her hand and the cracked cup fell to the ground, "Oh, it hit me."
Xiao Mo, who watched the whole process, said: ... Is there any way you can slap a water glass on someone's face like this? And you actually took two plates full of watermelon, aren't you afraid of being scolded
Xue Lihong seemed to know what her boss was thinking. She picked up a triangular watermelon slice from the two plates placed on her left hand and arm and stuffed it into Xiao Mo's mouth.
Xiao Mo: ... Well, it's quite sweet.
The Tianlong team members changed their colors on the spot, and the eyes of those who were paying attention were all bright. How many people shouted in their hearts: Fight! beat! Let’s fight!
At this time, the Tianlong team is here.
The confidant of Boss Tianlong seemed to be very puzzled and asked Captain Ji Yucai in a low voice: "Boss, why did you let that boy Wang Dong go over to be a lobbyist? If he goes over, he is afraid that good things will turn into bad things."
Ji Yucai, who was over forty years old and full of the allure of a mature man, smiled, "On certain special occasions, this kind of person can have miraculous effects."
The confidant thought for a moment, deliberately showed a look of sudden realization on his face, and expressed his admiration for Ji Yucai.
Family Planning was very comfortable being flattered by this flattery.
Other people in the network also asked the same question, and many people didn't understand why Family Planning would send such a person to invite Xiao Mo.
There are many stupid people in the world, but there is also no shortage of smart people. If Ji Yucai can think of something, others will naturally think of it too.
Zhang Qian smiled lightly and said to Liu Fanghua: "Ji Yucai is really cunning. I wonder how he could be the first to eat crabs. It turns out he wants to get to know the bottom of Xiao Mo and the people around him." .”
Liu Fanghua also understood, "Challenge stage?"
Zhang Qian nodded.
Liu Fanghua sneered: "This link is not included in the banquet agenda I got."
Zhang Qian, "It should be a temporary addition."
Liu Fanghua: "Who? Ji Ke? President? Bao Yiyong? Or our so-called four major mercenary teams?"
"Don't forget your father." Zhang Qian smiled, "In short, the proposer is among these people. But I guess arranging this challenge platform is not just one person's opinion. Maybe everyone wants to see this healer's opinion. How powerful a protector is.”
Liu Fanghua snorted and said no more.
Let’s talk about Xiao Mo’s side.
Eighty percent of people thought that the Dragons team member was going to rebel that day, but he actually held back, which surprised many people.
The broken glass made a few bloody cuts on Wang Dong's face, but he didn't even wipe it away. He just pointed at Xue Lihong's nose and said in a sinister voice: "Very good, you have the guts! Wait!" We’ll see you on the challenge stage later!”
"Crack! Click!"
There were two consecutive crisp sounds. First, Wang Dong's outstretched finger was broken, and then Wang Dong's arm was broken into four parts.
But no one reacted. Even Wang Dong himself only knew what happened three seconds after his fingers and arms were broken, and he was reminded by severe pain.
"you this… "
"Pfft!" Wang Dong's mouth had already been punched to bits before he could curse the harsh words and curse words out of his mouth. When Wang Dong opened his mouth and howled, the teeth in his mouth crackled and almost fell out.
"Awesome!" Liu Fanghua couldn't wait to applaud, "Zhang Qian, did you see? When he twisted the idiot's arm in front of him, there was only a crisp sound, but the idiot's arm was broken into four parts. This shows that his movements were too fast. Beyond the speed of sound!”
Zhang Qian's face also became cautious, but his eyes were somewhat clear, "Sure enough, how can a great healer not have a powerful protector beside him? It seems that many people are going to kick granite tonight."
Liu Fanghua also said: "I just don't know if that cool guy has any special powers. Kung fu alone is not enough these days."
"You'll know after you read on." Liu Qian no longer looked at Xiao Mo, but instead stared at Xue Lihong.
Here, Xue Lihong tilted her head at his boss, "Take care of the dog blocking the road. Let's go to the table over there."
Xiao Mo turned around silently.
But before the two of them took a few steps, they were stopped again.
This time, four people from the Tianlong team came, but these four people did not take action. The two went to check Wang Dong's injury. One of the remaining two people said politely to Xiao Mo and the other two: "Mr. Xiao, I'm so sorry. My subordinates are ignorant and make you laugh."
Then the man's tone changed, "But as the saying goes, beating a dog depends on the owner. We don't ask what happened just now, we only look at the result. And the result is that this gentleman injured one of our people, so wait a moment We will send one person to challenge this gentleman fairly, regardless of death or injury. If the challenge results in our Tianlong losing, then the matter will end here, and our Tianlong will also offer a thousand energy as compensation. But if it is your man If sir loses, our team will ask Mr. Xiao to stay here from now on. Mr. Xiao, do you think this is okay?"
Xiao Mo felt the message of impatience coming from around him, and was afraid that his Xiaohong would explode this person on the spot, so he nodded and said, "Okay, that's it."
Since you want to see our strength so much, then come. I couldn't guarantee it before, but now, we can confidently say: As long as I'm here, we, Xiaohong, will be invincible!
Xue Lihong glanced at him sideways: Don't you think the bet of Qian Neng is too small
Xiao Mo replied with his eyes: One thousand is a lot, converted into the purchasing power of money in the past, that's ten million yuan!
The Tianlong team members left after receiving satisfactory results, and Wang Dong was also helped back.
18:25 minutes.
Xiao Mo and Xue Lihong had just sat down when Luosang and Lei Bing came over.
Lei Bing didn't look good, and Luosang frowned before saying anything.
"You two, I just got a piece of news." Luosang sat down and said: "The banquet will add another link, the challenge stage. As the name suggests, it is used for people to challenge. It is also the only legal challenge stage in the capital. It was originally set up in the Constellation Gymnasium. , but if necessary, the challenge stage can be held anywhere as long as it is signed by the president and three or more congressmen. The purpose of adding the challenge stage to the banquet this time is to test the force value and convenience of the new surrender. Various official and unofficial organizations recruit talents, but in fact... "
"It's to find out our bottom line. It's best to bet with us like the Tianlong team. If we lose, I have to serve the winning organization." Xiao Mo put down his chopsticks and said calmly.
Luosang exhaled, "That's right."
Xue Lihong rubbed Xiao Mo's short hair, "Is this Sichuan beef too spicy? I'll get you something else." After saying that, she stood up.
Xiao Mo hurriedly raised his head and ordered: "Put in more other vegetables, fruits and vegetables, don't just get meat!"
Xue Lihong waved her hands without looking back to show that she heard.
Lausanne: Am I worried about my relationship in vain? The young couple doesn’t care at all!
Lei Bing suddenly smiled and his expression relaxed. He even stretched, stood up and said, "I'm going to get some food too. I feel like I'll be very busy tonight."
Xiao Mo thanked him silently. Lei Bing was only responsible for escorting them to the capital in name, and did not need to follow them at all, but Lei Bing still followed them.
18:30.
President Zhou Fang took the stage to speak, welcoming all new superpowers who joined the capital on behalf of the entire capital. He also used a humorous tone to express that various government departments are recruiting people and welcome people of insight to join us and receive preferential treatment.
Everyone in the banquet hall burst into laughter and everyone was cheering. This was an informal occasion, so there was no need to follow too many rules. There are also people like Liu Fanghua who are very familiar with the president and can call him uncle. The treatment of the Flying Eagle Mercenary Team is not bad, and they are freer than the government.
Hearing this, Zhou Fang nodded to Liu Fanghua, smiled and scolded a middle-aged soldier sitting at the head table with the title of Lieutenant General on his shoulder: "I said, Old Liu, your son is poaching us in front of us, so you don't care. Tube?"
Old Liu, Commander of the Beijing Military Region Liu Lan said seriously: "I'll beat him with a belt when I get back."
Liu Fanghua screamed strangely.
All the guests laughed loudly, and many people took the lead in applauding, which completely heated up the atmosphere.
Xiao Mo also looked at the stage with a smile in his eyes. Xue Lihong seemed to be particularly interested in food tonight. She had already brought back many plates, and she had almost eaten every plate, with almost no leftovers.
Luosang and Lei Bing both stared at Xue Lihong's mouth and stomach with strange expressions, as if they wanted to cut open his stomach and take a look.
Xiao Mo was also a little worried and asked him in a low voice: "Why do you eat so much?"
Xue Li kept using her red chopsticks, "Have I told you, in fact, I have never been full since I followed you."
Uncle Xiao feels guilty! He is really not a good boss or a good lover, and he actually lets his little red work hungry all the time.
Seeing his extremely guilty look, Xue Lihong couldn't help pinching his face, "Don't worry, I won't be full, but I won't starve to death either. Usually the food is enough for me to consume energy, not to mention you giving it to me." Replenish."
Xiao Mo thought of Xue Lihong's "bastard" identity, and his heart throbbed inexplicably.
Probably because Boss Xiao's distressed look was too direct, Xue Lihong rubbed her mouth on his face, regardless of whether there were other people at the same table.
Lei Bing and Luosang are two bachelors: show affection and break up quickly! I'll let you show off, and I'll be waiting for you to break it up!
At this moment, someone suddenly mentioned Xiao Mo's name on the stage.
Xiao Mo and others raised their faces to look at the podium.
I saw that President Zhou Fang had finished his speech at some point, and the next person who came up was Senator Ji Ke. This Senator Ji Ke was already very old. He looked like he was only about sixty, but in fact he was already over seventy.
Councilor Ji met Xiao Mo's eyes and said with a compassionate look on his face: "I heard from Minister Bao that Mr. Xiao is probably the most powerful healer at present. It just so happens that we have several people here who are serving the country and the people. The soldiers were seriously injured and are still unconscious. I wonder if Mr. Xiao can help them now?"
People who knew and didn't know Xiao Mo all followed Ji Ke's gaze and found Xiao Mo.
For a moment, Xiao Mo became the center of attention.
Zhou Fang, Mr. Yang, Bao Yiyong and others sitting at the three tables in the first row had different expressions. Mr. Yang wanted to get up and say something, but his son Yang Feifan held him back and motioned to Mr. Yang to look the other way.
Before Xiao Mo could speak, many men, women, and children suddenly stood up on the other side. These people actually flocked to Xiao Mo's side. The few who were in front came over and knelt down towards Xiao Mo.
"Mr. Xiao, please save my husband!" The middle-aged woman kowtowed.
"Uncle, please save my dad, please." The little girl sobbed and knelt down.
The elderly, children, women, family members of the injured one after another knelt down beside him.
The banquet hall was silent, and most people were obviously shocked by this incident.
Xiao Mo's face changed and turned livid. Very good, he thought they would confront Xiao Hong first, but he didn't expect these people to hit him first.
Lei Bing took a deep breath, he wanted to curse. It's so fucking wicked to do this!
Xue Lihong... was still eating, pushing a cup of fresh milk with sugar in front of Xiao Mo, "Drink, be good."
Xiao Mo lowered his head, picked up the cup, took a sip, put it down, smiled, and stood up.
