Chapter Seventy-Seven: Setting Up A Suit

  "My god, I finally got backstage, from the female network side, hurry up and update, I'm suffocating, thanks to Dong Ge's advertisement, Dong Ge is really a great master! A few years ago, I saw him once, didn't expect he would help this poor author! Also thank all the supporting Tiān Shū fans, there are many of your lovely figures on Tieba!"

  Kanfil walked out of the door and looked at Xiao Chen. At this time, he was very nervous in his heart, but he was not sure if Xiao Chen really knew that the magic core was on them.

  "Xiao Chen, come with me for a moment, I have something to discuss with you."

  He took Xiao Chen out, and when they passed by an office, he walked in. After a while, another person followed him out.

  Xiao Chen also recognized him, a man with a big beard, who had seen at the freshman report, one of the wind system instructors, Bano.

  Two people walked out.

  Bano saw Xiao Chen, her eyes sparkled, and then a smile appeared on her face.

  He walked over and patted Xiao Chen's shoulder, saying in a very heroic tone: "Xiao Chen, haha, the top student of our Wind Department has arrived! How is it? Are you still adapting to the school's studies recently?"

  "Not bad, thank you for your concern, teacher." Xiao Chen replied calmly and quietly.

  "That's great, you've made our Wind Department proud, haha, I won the bet with that old scoundrel Sodre, and Teacher hasn't even thanked you yet. Today is just in time, it's almost lunchtime, let's go out to eat, I'll treat." Bano said enthusiastically.

  Before Xiao Chen could react, Kan Fai pulled him away.

  "Go, go!"

  They pulled Xiao Chen further and further away.

  Anthony watched their backs from behind, secretly wondering how Bano and Kanfield became so familiar with Xiao Chen.

  On the carriage.

  Three people sat in the back, and Bano kept talking about some interesting things at school.

  This man, don't look at his bearded face, tall and strong, looks very rough, but unexpectedly, he is eloquent, talking non-stop all the way, adjusting the atmosphere very well, almost no awkward silence.

  Xiao Chen stood by, listening silently, without room for interruption.

  The horse carriage gradually moved further and further away, leaving the outer courtyard and arriving at a thriving residential area.

  The four living areas around Tianxing Academy are roughly the size of a small city each.

  It is actually a satellite town attached to Tianxing College.

  Running on the streets of Satellite City, turning seven times and eight times, arrived at the entrance of a hotel.

  The sign above the hotel entrance reads "Hotel Mansa".

  "This family hotel may look remote, but the food inside is very delicious, let's go in." Bano enthusiastically introduced after getting off the carriage.

  Three people walked into the hotel.

  "Give us a private room on the third floor." Bano walked in and said to the approaching attendant with familiarity.

  The hotel is empty and very quiet.

  A few people walked into a private room on the third floor, which was even quieter. The soundproofing facilities of the entire hotel were not very good.

  "Come, come, sit down, I'll order." Bano invited the other two to sit down, took up the menu, ordered a few dishes, and soon, dish after dish was served, quickly filling the table.

  "Xiao Chen, you're not young anymore. A real man should drink, and since we're outside, don't worry about anything." Bano said without hesitation, ordering a few more bottles of wine.

  Just looking at the signs, they're all high-proof liquor.

  Barno filled several cups and said: "Come on, let's celebrate Xiao Chen winning the tournament. Cheers!"

  Xiao Chen's mouth was slightly raised with a faint cold smile, he picked up his wine glass and clinked it against theirs before downing the contents in one gulp.

  Bano saw him drinking so fast, slightly stunned, and quickly refilled his cup, raising it: "Well done, young hero! I didn't expect that Xiao Chen's brother, Xiao Chen, would also have such a good capacity for wine. Come on, let's make a toast to Xiao Chen creating a record and achieving the best score in the history of the competition!"

  "Cheers!" Kanfiel also raised his glass.

  Xiao Chen didn't say another word and drank another cup.

  "Come on, let's drink for..." Bano poured another cup for Xiao Chen.

  He occasionally said some congratulatory words and kept pouring wine for Xiao Chen.

  In an instant, he downed four or five cups of strong liquor.

  Drinking strong liquor so quickly was almost too much for them to handle; as the alcohol took effect, their faces turned bright red.

  Looking at Xiao Chen, with an air of nonchalance, Bano secretly thought: "This kid, he's seen a ghost, his hair isn't even fully grown, and his drinking capacity is this good?"

  He hastily ate a few mouthfuls of food, filled his belly, and then winked at Kanfil.

  Kan Fai nodded slightly, picked up his wine cup and said to Xiao Chen: "Come on, I'll toast a glass to my little brother Xiao."

  Two people started taking turns drinking with Xiao Chen.

  In this way, after drinking for more than half a time, there were already over ten empty bottles on the table.

  Banno, Kanfil, both had a bit of intoxication.

  If they weren't advanced Fa practitioners with strong spiritual power, they would have fallen drunk long ago.

  Looking at Xiao Chen, her face was also flushed red, her eyes narrowed, as if she was slightly drunk.

  "Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen..." They called out a few times, and Xiao Chen responded drowsily.

  Barno's eyes suddenly cleared up, and he exchanged a glance with Kanfield, sneering: "I didn't think this kid could hold his liquor so well, if we keep drinking like this, I won't be able to handle it."

  "Xiao Chen, look at this, what is it?" Bano took out a small box from his bosom.

  Open it up, inside is a pale black plant, on the dark stem and leaves, there are some illusory silver veins moving around, like mercury threads.

  Xiao Chen's dazed eyes stared ahead, his hand reaching out to grab something.

  "Hehe, this... is a very precious Spirit Grass." Bano closed the box, not letting Xiao Chen grab it.

  "Look, this herb can increase your spiritual power several times. Your current spiritual power is already at the level of a three-star mage. With this Herb of the Underworld, you'll be able to break through to the spiritual power of an intermediate mage. How about it, do you want it?" Bano's words were full of temptation, and in fact, also somewhat painful. The Herb of the Underworld was indeed very precious.

  "Good stuff..." A hint of a smile appeared on Xiao Chen's drunken face.

  Kanfil then took out a magical contract.

  "Xiao Chen, as long as you sign this contract, this Spirit Grass will be yours." Bano smiled faintly.

  Put that magical contract in front of Xiao Chen.

  He believed that in a drunken state, Xiao Chen could not resist the temptation of Ming Shen Cao.

  Once the contract is signed, it's a done deal, and even the college can't say anything.

  "Come on, sign it, and the Spirit Grass is yours..." Bano opened the small box again and waved it in front of Xiao Chen.

  "What contract?" Xiao Chen shook his head, took over the contract, unfolded it, and scanned it with drunken eyes.

  "Alright, I sign..." he muttered.

  Banno and Kanfil's eyes sparkled with joy, and they hastily pulled out a pen.

  Just as the two of them were excitedly lowering their heads, suddenly, a black shadowy figure appeared in mid-air, flashing before their eyes. The two people stiffened all over, dazed and staring straight ahead with their eyes fixed intently on what was in front of them.

  That black shadow floated in mid-air and said to Xiao Chen, "Master, I have already taken control of their minds."

  Xiao Chen's drunken face suddenly turned cold and stern, his eyes clear and bright, with no hint of intoxication left.
