151 Chapter 103 Rich and Generous_2
As long as I don't miss the City Lord's grand banquet side mission, that's all that matters...
Compared to them, Lu Ran was much more relaxed.
The City Lord's Mansion had prepared a kitchen for each of the chefs from Frost Moon Tower, and even Lu Ran was assigned one of his own, fully stocked with various fruits, most of which were high-quality spirit fruits.
Although the workload was a bit heavy, these were all fine ingredients, and Lu Ran and Mr. Husky could just nibble on the scraps while they worked, quite comfortably at that.
Among the chefs who had arrived, Manager Tong was the most worried about leaving Lu Ran on his own, personally leading Bai Ling and the others to keep watch outside the kitchen...
At first, Bai Ling and the others were perplexed by this, but after sneaking a peek and seeing a Husky in the kitchen also holding a kitchen knife and helping Lu Ran cut fruits, they were suddenly silenced by the revelation. Indeed, they recognized that it was not something the City Lord's Mansion staff should witness.
You really are something else, Passerby A! Always managing to pull off some truly unexpected feats!
Is that the way to use a Husky Pet Beast?
"What are you staring at! Hurry up and serve the fruit that's been cut, the Gold tasting time is less than 5 minutes! Remember to remind the guests to eat it immediately!" Manager Tong barked, and Bai Ling and the others instantly became helpers for Lu Ran.
Carrying plates of fruit with resignation, they quickly headed to the banquet scene. Bai Ling, in particular, was speechless, hoping these people would keep their mouths shut. Otherwise, the news of Bai Ling from the Four Saints Gang stooping to run errands for Passerby A in the Breakthrough Secret Realm would definitely hit the hot search once again.
At that moment, the banquet scene was bustling with excitement, with dozens of large tables surrounding a huge fighting arena where hundreds of exquisitely dressed guests of all ages laughed and chatted.
The Beast Training Empire's banquets were all about fighting and eating, such was the national style.
"The fruit plates are only coming out now." Seeing the staff including those dispatched by Lu Ran only just serving the fruit plates, some guests shook their heads, feeling that the City Lord's Mansion's preparations were insufficient, as such things should have been ready on the tables in advance.
However, as guests started to feel thirsty and casually picked up a piece of fruit to eat, the atmosphere in one corner of the banquet suddenly turned strange.
"Don't snatch!"
"Leave a piece for me!"
"Bro, you ate three pieces already! Have you never had fruit before?"
The fruit plates on the tables that had been served first were instantly snatched clean, with some even fighting over them, an occurrence that immediately drew the attention of surrounding tables, each wanting to know what was happening.
"Ningchuan City Lord is really generous, to invite a chef with 'Cooking Intent' just to cut fruit, Snowy Cooking Intent, which is quite rare. In this blistering Summer, it immediately feels a lot cooler!" An old man who knew his stuff stood up and immediately began to offer compliments.
Snowy Cooking Intent!
At this declaration, the scene became even more lively.
"Snowy Cooking Intent, fruit plates... could it be that a chef from Frost Moon Tower has been invited over? These past two days, Frost Moon Tower has also seen a chef using Snowy Cooking Intent to cut fruits!"
Just a moment ago the guests were discussing the City Lord's breakthrough to the fifth level, but now they had been distracted by the food. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Distinguished guests, please remain calm. There's a pre-meal fruit plate for every table. There's only one chef, so the fruit has to be cut right before serving to taste better, so we ask you for your patience."
At this point, the City Lord's Mansion's steward had no choice but to step up to the stage to explain.
"While waiting for the delicacies, I wonder which two young talents are willing to step up to the stage for a Beast Training battle? This banquet has attracted many young Beast Training prodigies from Tsunami Province. As everyone knows, our City Lord is a lover of talent, so he has specially prepared lavish prizes, intending to reward the brave young people showcasing their talents."
"At such a celebratory moment, how could we not have an exciting Beast Training duel to add to the festivities?"
"I'll go!"
"I'll go!!!" As the steward finished speaking, several young Beast Trainers quickly volunteered.
At this kind of banquet, enjoying delicious food while watching Beast Training battles is what makes the event even more interesting.
Soon, two Beast Trainers started fighting in the arena, while Bai Ling and the others served fruit plates and sneaked glances at the fray.
"Level 12, Advanced extraordinary Race, Flame-Tailed Fox."
"Level 13, Advanced extraordinary Race, Hundred Flowers Butterfly..."
"Such high levels." At this moment, seeing the anonymous Beast Trainers ascend the stage, each with pet beasts of more than dozen levels from Advanced extraordinary Races, Lu Ran's group felt a bit of a headache.
Unlike Beast Trainers from Blue Star, those from Star-Moon Continent and their Pet Beasts are not limited by Infinite City's levels.
However, this does not mean that leveling up as a Beast Trainer on Star-Moon Continent happens quickly.
On the contrary, the Beast Trainers of Star-Moon Continent face even more restrictions when leveling up.
For instance, when forming contracts with their Pet Beasts, they don't have the advantage of something like a Black Card; they must rely solely on themselves to open up Beast Training Spaces.
Opening and upgrading Beast Training Spaces requires Beast Trainers to spend a lot of time in meditation and cultivation. If Beast Trainers cannot keep up with their levels, they will consequently hold back and restrict the growth of their beasts.
Moreover, whether its Intern, Level 1, Level 2... each level's bottleneck for Beast Trainers on Star-Moon Continent must be overcome individually, unlike those of Infinite City where simply going through the Breakthrough Secret Realm naturally leads to a breakthrough.
Therefore, compared to the local Beast Trainers, the Trialists entering here also have their advantages, at least in terms of growth speed. With the assistance of Infinite City, their advancement would be much quicker.
And in terms of resources, there is also no question. The unique nature of Infinite City's Secret Realms means "infinite resources." A Secret Realm can be grinded relentlessly without issues, but on Star-Moon Continent, even common resources cannot be said to be unlimited.
