Chapter 127 Beast Tide
The wind in late September was still somewhat dry and hot.

So Jiang Qin simply wore a light green fitted floral dress when she went out.

This kind of dress, if worn well, makes a woman look elegant and classy; if worn poorly, it just makes her look dowdy and unsophisticated.

But she looks quite good in it.

After all, she has fair skin and a tall figure.

In any case, it was enough to amaze Lan Yuyan.

Today was a dinner invitation from a friend and boss, so Jiang Qin didn't bring any people with her in public, but three bodyguards followed her in the shadows.

Even on the main planet, she dared not let her guard down.

Those research fanatics, I wonder if they've given up on her yet.

"Good evening, Miss Jiang."

Jiang Qin smiled and greeted him, then got into Lan Yuyan's flying car and headed towards that specialty restaurant.

Come to think of it, she has never eaten food prepared by professional chefs in restaurants in this lifetime.

I did eat there later in my previous life, but it wasn't a particularly high-end restaurant, although the dishes were just as expensive.

Her only impression was that it was expensive but didn't taste good.

It's unclear whether the raw materials were of poor quality or the chefs' skills were mediocre; well, perhaps it's a combination of both.

Hopefully, this famous restaurant on the main planet will surprise her.

……

Inside the flying car, although the atmosphere was a little awkward as the two were alone, Jiang Qin quickly relaxed amidst Lan Yuyan's witty and elegant demeanor.

It must be said that he is truly an elegant and gentle man.

In addition, she has outstanding looks, a privileged family background, and a stable career.

If this were modern times, he would probably be the ideal partner for many girls.

Unfortunately, this is interstellar space.

***
The restaurant is not located in the city center, but rather in a somewhat remote area.

So it's a bit far.

Along the way, with the wind blowing and looking at the scenery outside the window, it's really hard to imagine that this is a world where danger is ever-present.

Jiang Qin was somewhat lost in thought.

This morning's trending topics have long since pushed aside the trending topics about the song she posted last night and the racing competition.

It has been replaced with news about this year's animal outbreak.

In the early hours of the morning, a planet numbered 1069 was conquered by the Star Beasts.

Apart from those who evacuated in advance, none of the remaining people survived.

This morning, the Federation issued an order to completely destroy Planet 1069 at midnight tonight.

Whether or not anyone is still alive up there, they will all be completely annihilated in the vast universe after tonight.

Because if this planet isn't destroyed, those star beasts will reproduce on it.

If left unchecked, they will pose a huge threat to them.

It's important to know that star beasts have a very strong reproductive capacity.

They can have several litters a year, and each litter has several chicks, and they also use a survival-of-the-fittest breeding method.

As for the orcs, not only is there a large disparity in the female-to-female ratio, but their survival resources are also gradually decreasing.

It takes ten months to carry a child and more than a decade to raise them to adulthood.

Therefore, if the reproduction of the star beasts is not suppressed, the interstellar space will be occupied by them sooner or later.

The Federation will send reinforcements to planets that can generally withstand the attack, but there is no need to search for survivors on planets that have already fallen.

We can't risk the lives of Space Marines for a mere possibility.

Therefore, there is only one outcome for a fallen planet: the entire planet will disappear together.

……

Seeing Jiang Qin staring out the window in a daze, Lan Yuyan also quieted down.

His gaze was fixed on her, while simultaneously looking out the window.

However, this quiet time didn't last long, because they had arrived. After getting off the flying car, Jiang Qin saw a bustling high-rise building.

On the third floor hangs a sign that reads: Lost Delight.

Lan Yuyan introduced to her, "The first to third floors are all restaurants. I heard that their owner's ancestors were once imperial chefs from ancient times."

It sounds very impressive.

Jiang Qin was full of anticipation for this trip.

As soon as we entered the lobby, a waiter approached us and asked, "Hello, do you two have a reservation?"

"Yes, my surname is Lan."

"Mr. Lan, you have reserved room number 16. Please follow me."

The waiter led them to a small private room on the second floor.

The private room is quite exquisite, and the theme of the decoration can be changed at will.

Lan Yu asked, "What theme style does Miss Jiang prefer?"

"I'm fine with anything, as long as it's simple."

Lan Yuyan pressed a few buttons on the dining table, and the room's decor changed.

It was a modern minimalist style just a moment ago, but now it's all been changed to natural wood color.

Even the lamps have been transformed into lanterns.

In fact, the position of the lights is fixed; only the background of the holographic projection changes.

This is a visual effect.

"I feel that Ms. Jiang really likes things related to ancient culture, so I think you would like this style of scenery more."

Jiang Qin chuckled and said, "Minister Lan is quite observant."

"No, it's just that Miss Jiang has never tried to hide it. I think many people can tell."

Lan Yuyan handed her the menu.

"See what you like to eat."

Jiang Qin didn't refuse; they weren't short of money, and they could choose whatever they wanted for a meal.

So she didn't stand on ceremony at all and ordered three dishes, a soup, and a dessert.

I heard this restaurant is very difficult to book; if you want to eat there, waiting a month is considered short.

"Can we take the leftovers home?"

Lan Yuyan chuckled softly, "Of course, I'll probably pack two portions to take away later. Miss Jiang, you can order a few more to take back for your friends to try."

"Then we'll pick more after we finish eating."

She mainly wanted to try it first; if it was good, she would bring more; if not, she would just leave it.

While waiting for the food to be served, Lan Yuyan asked, "Miss Jiang, do you have any plans to release a song in October?"

"Probably, since the bar is reopening tomorrow, I should prepare more songs to make a splash on the main star."

"I'll go support Miss Jiang tomorrow."

Jiang Qin smiled and agreed, "Okay, I'll have Uncle Yongkang arrange a better booth for you."

"So, I'm being accused of... using connections?"

"Hmm~ I guess this is a matter of reciprocity, since I got into the show through connections."

Lan Yuyan chuckled and shook her head, "Miss Jiang, you didn't get in through connections. You're our specially invited ace, and it has absolutely nothing to do with nepotism."

The two chatted casually, neither of them mentioning the collaboration.

Both parties wanted to relax and simply enjoy a pleasant meal.

As they talked, their way of addressing each other became much closer.

Lan Yuyan said, "We're not at the company, so don't call him Minister Lan. We should be considered friends now, so just call him by his name."

Although Jiang Qin felt a little embarrassed, she got used to it after calling out to her a few more times.

And he can just call her by her name; calling her "Miss Jiang" all the time is a bit too formal.

Before long, the waiters knocked on the door and came in with the dishes.
