"Why?"
Wang Ran asked.
"World 9077 is holding a celebration banquet. Since you played a pivotal role in ending the end of this world, Vice President Shengya has paid for your round-trip expenses to the banquet."
Assistant Ball replied.
Wang Ran nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
This Vice President of Shengya will most likely also appear at the banquet, and maybe they can talk face to face.
Wang Ran pushed open the portal and stepped in.
The transmission technology of the world hub was as smooth as ever. Wang Ran did not feel any discomfort and arrived at the 9077 world easily.
The 9077 world has changed a lot at this moment.
There are white clouds floating in the sky, the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers, and you can even see a few birds flying across the sky if you look far away.
This place has become like a pure land that has never been set foot by evil gods.
"The Watcher Association is so efficient!"
Wang Ran sighed.
The time flow rate ratio between the world hub and the 9077 world is 1 to 80. At this moment, it has been exactly ten hub days since he left the 9077 world, which is more than two years in the 9077 world.
In just over two years, under the governance of the Watcher Society, the purple mist that once covered the sky has now completely disappeared.
The air quality is better than that of the Earth, and the ecology that suffered a devastating blow has begun to recover.
You are indeed a professional!
Wang Ran looked around.
The energy barrier has been closed, apparently because there are so many gods gathered here that there is no need for something as fragile as an energy barrier.
The streets are decorated with lights and people are coming and going. There is a joyful atmosphere everywhere. Mountains of wine and food are placed on both sides of the streets for people to taste for free.
The spire that was originally used to dispatch war resources was now equipped with a large screen, which played the scene of the gods of the Watcher Association defeating the evil gods, which could be seen clearly dozens of miles away.
Wang Ran stopped and looked for a while.
"Without me..."
The images on the big screen rotated, and dozens of gods showed their faces, but he was not there.
He was a little disappointed.
But on second thought, these pictures are obviously staged by the Watcher Society.
He summoned the son of Kua'e at that time, rushed into the depths of the purple mist alone and crushed the evil god to pieces. The incident happened suddenly, so it was reasonable that the Watcher Association's camera did not capture him.
bite!
The bamboo slips on his body vibrated.
"Mr. Wang Ran, the banquet is about to begin. Do you need someone to greet you?"
A voice came from the bamboo slips.
Wang Ran shook his head and said, "No need, just tell me where the party is."
He has hands and feet, so there is no need for anyone to come and pick him up.
Zhu Jian replied, "The banquet will be held on the highest floor of the central spire. You have obtained the relevant access permissions and can enter and exit the banquet venue freely before the end of the banquet."
"How many people are attending the party?"
"How many have come?"
Zhu Jian replied: "The Watcher Association has sent out a total of 1,452 banquet invitations, of which 1,201 people have arrived in World 9077, and 251 are still on the way."
Wang Ran nodded, thinking that he was not too late.
He put away the bamboo slips and walked towards the central spire.
At this moment, the large screens on several spires suddenly went out.
"Hey, why is the picture gone?"
"Something went wrong?"
"Hurry up and fix it! I just saw something exciting!"
Wang Ran looked up.
He was stunned.
Because just as his eyes fell on the big screen, it suddenly lit up, and a huge poster exuding a sharp aura came into his eyes.
"Killing you is easier than moving mountains!"
The powerful sound waves burst out of the big screen, and the words were full of domineering attitude.
In an instant, Wang Ran's eyelids twitched wildly.
The poster shows him when he was possessed by the son of Kua'e. He is standing in front of a majestic mountain, his body shrouded in a muddy yellow halo, his eyes filled with contempt and disdain for the evil god.
At the bottom of the poster was a sentence written in a flamboyant style.
Wang Ran has arrived in the 9077 world
"Is this the great hero?"
“He’s so domineering!”
"Look at the look in his eyes. The evil god is nothing in his eyes!"
"Looks so familiar, I think I've seen it before?"
"… "
At this moment, everyone in the war fortress saw the poster and Wang Ran on the poster.
People around started discussing it heatedly.
Wang Ran's story had spread throughout the Third District and the Watcher Association long before the banquet. Everyone could tell a story about him, and all of a sudden Wang Ran's ears were filled with discussions about him.
Wang Ran lowered her head nervously.
The poster shows him just summoning the Son of Kua'e, when he was still near the war fortress.
The shooting angle of the Watchmen Society is very tricky, perfectly capturing his most domineering scene. Even he himself felt inexplicably excited when he saw this poster.
Wang Ran suppressed his fluctuating emotions and walked silently into the central spire.
The central spire is the control center of the entire war fortress.
This is the most important part of the war fortress. Once it is destroyed, the entire war fortress will be paralyzed, so no outsiders are allowed to approach.
But Wang Ran obtained permission to pass and had a smooth journey.
"Identity confirmed!"
"Welcome! Mr. Wang Ran!"
The portal slowly opened.
Wang Ran controlled his expression and then walked in.
…
The banquet hall is on the top floor of the central spire.
In fact, every floor of the central spire is filled with various sophisticated instruments, and there is no place to hold a banquet.
But the central spire offers the best views.
At the request of the bosses, the Watcher Association temporarily added a new floor on the top of the tower specifically for hosting this banquet.
As soon as Wang Ran stepped into the banquet hall, he thought he had returned to the hub of the world.
Because the floor under your feet is exactly the same as the road surface of the world's hub, it seems as if the most prosperous piece of the starry sky was cut out and pasted here, and every step you take will cause a burst of starlight.
But he quickly came to his senses.
He could feel it because everyone's eyes were lingering on him.
It was obvious that these people knew him.
Wang Ran pursed her lips imperceptibly.
What to do now
How are you guys
He had never participated in a banquet attended by thousands of people, let alone a banquet attended by thousands of gods. Suddenly, he didn't know how he should behave.
He glanced around the banquet hall and found that everyone was in a relaxed posture.
Amid the sound of lively music, some people stood at the edge of the banquet hall, gazing at the distant scenery and drinking alone; some people gathered at the table in twos and threes, laughing and talking about the interesting things that happened in the recent days; and some people walked beside the long table with plates in their hands, picking up food from the table.
There is also a spacious dance floor in the banquet hall, but no one is dancing at the moment.
Wang Ran had an idea.
[Start real-time simulation]
[You ask the bartender]
[You learn that the party will start in about ten minutes]
[You ask the bartender]
[You learned that two vice presidents of the Watcher Association and a vice chairman of the Third District Self-Help Committee will attend this banquet]
The president and the chairman didn’t come
[You continue to ask the bartender]
[You learn that the party will only last three hours]
The banquet did not last as long as Wang Ran had imagined. He thought it would last two or three days.
[You find a place to sit down]
You tasted the food at the banquet.
[You have never eaten anything so delicious, but in order to maintain your appearance, you only took a few bites]
[The party begins]
[People at the banquet toast each other]
[You are toasted the most times]
[Vice President of the Watcher Association Shengya invites you to give a speech at the banquet]
Wang Ran was stunned for a moment.
Invite me to give a speech? What can I say
[You made up a few nonsense sentences]
[Thunderous applause]
[Senior officials from the Watcher Association and the Third District Self-Help Committee gave speeches in succession]
Do you value me so much
Wang Ran was a little surprised because his speech was ranked before the top leaders of the Watcher Association and the Third District Self-Help Committee.
You found Arei
[You asked Ares for his cat disciple]
[Alei declined you]
He said he had a deep bond with his cats.
[You promised to help Are once at a critical moment]
[Alei gave you the cat]
The text was short, but it revealed Are's impatience.
[Vice President Shengya joined your conversation]
[You two are chatting very well]
[Another vice president of the Watcher Association and the vice chairman of the Third District Self-Help Committee also participated]
All three bosses were very interested in him.
[Simulation ends]
Wang Ran's heart calmed down.
He walked into the banquet hall calmly, picked up the plate and chose a piece of each of the few remaining snacks, then sat down at the edge of the banquet hall, silently waiting for the banquet to begin.
He picked up a dessert.
This is a jelly-like dessert with a cute little bear lying in its gelatinous body. Through this dessert, you can vaguely feel the childlike innocence of the maker.
Wang Ran put the dessert into his mouth.
The most delicious thing ever
I would...
He was stunned.
By the time he came to his senses, the snack had turned into a warm current filled with natural breath and flowed into his lungs.
He sipped the fragrance between his lips and teeth.
Is this God’s delicacy
It seems that he has to train a royal chef from among the Dawn Apostles...
Ten minutes passed in a flash.
During this period, many people walked into the banquet hall one after another. Without exception, they would first glance around the banquet hall, and then deliberately give Wang Ran a kind smile.
Wang Ran was a little uncomfortable at first.
But with one or two hundred people treating him like this, he soon got used to it.
Suddenly, the lights dimmed.
The banquet hall suddenly became quiet.
Everyone simultaneously looked towards the podium where the banquet was being hosted, because there appeared three figures who were so hard to look away from.
The three men did not introduce themselves.
They are two men and one woman.
One of the men and the woman were standing close to each other. They were obviously the two vice presidents of the Watcher Association, and the other one should be the vice chairman of the Third District Self-Help Committee.
They are all well-known figures and the organizers of this banquet.
“Thank you all for coming!”
A soft yet powerful voice rang in everyone's ears.
Wang Ran was very familiar with this voice; he had heard it in the simulation when he used [Soul Traveling Through the Worlds].
She is Shengya, the vice president of the Watcher Association.
Her long golden hair falls softly on her shoulders, her sharp collarbone attracts attention, and her curvy figure is faintly visible under the black dress that fits her skin tightly.
The feet were exposed from under the long skirt, wrapped with a layer of jade-like translucent silk ribbon.
She stood quietly on the platform, emitting a special charm all the time, but her words revealed a competence and majesty that was completely opposite to her charm, forming a strong contrast.
This contrast makes it even more difficult to take your eyes off her.
"Before the banquet officially begins, please raise a toast to celebrate our common victory!"
At this moment, the strong men raised their glasses to each other.
Everyone had a smile on their face, exuding the calmness and elegance accumulated over the long years.
Vice President Shengya looked at Wang Ran, and their eyes met in mid-air.
She raised her glass: "Cheers to Mr. Wang Ran!"
