Zongwang: Unspeakable fear!

Chapter 437 Dinner with Old Friends

The winter in Jinghu City is relatively mild. It is not as harsh as the winter in the north, nor as damp and cold as the winter in the south.

The lake in Jinghu City is not frozen, but it is still unavoidable. The clear water reflects the bright moon in the night sky.

wow~
The bright moon dissipated with the ripples, and a strong body that had been tempered through thousands of trials and tribulations emerged from the water.

The freezing cold lake water seemed to have no effect on him. With a slight exertion of force from his open hands, his strong body emerged from the water, like a light and graceful black cat landing on the iron and wooden platform suspended above the water.

The red fighting spirit was slightly aroused, and the moisture on his body was instantly evaporated and dried. Gao Yang took out his clothes from his backpack and put them on.

Then he looked up at the sky and looked towards the center of the training ground.

It's almost time.

He walked towards the two-headed ice dragon in the center of the martial arts field. Even though it was crawling, it was still as big as a hill. The latter lowered its head obediently and let Gao Yang step on its back.

After Gao Yang sat down, the two-headed ice dragon's huge body moved slightly, and its wings flapped lightly, stirring up a strong wind and quickly blending into the night.

In the northeast of Jinghu City, there is a scenic spot far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It is surrounded by mountains and water and has beautiful scenery, so it has become a good place for many wealthy people.

In the end, it developed to the point where even ordinary people, or even rich people, had no way to enter.

And tonight, the originally empty scenic area suddenly became lively.

Looking down from a high altitude, one can see black cars parked in an orderly manner in the parking lot, and men in black suits with anticipation and seriousness on their faces walking into the resort hotel in the center one after another.

As for other business premises, they have a rare day off today.

A young man with a rather immature face followed a security guard in a neat suit and wearing a headset, walking towards the hotel in front of them in a somewhat restrained manner.

This was his first time here. He had never been to such a place before, let alone heard of it.

When they walked into the hotel lobby, You Miao's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but sigh that it was great to be rich.

You Miao arrived in Jinghu City by special car this morning. After meeting Ruan Xiaoyu in the city, he continued to take the special car to this scenic spot.

Tonight will be the first real-life gathering of all the players on the network.

You Miao has been a player on the variety show network for some time, but he is still looking forward to tonight's banquet.

Because I heard from Sister Xiaoyu that Boss Gao Yang will also attend tonight's dinner.

Following the guidance of the security personnel, You Miao walked through the hotel lobby and front hall and came to the open-air garden at the back of the hotel, where tonight's dinner would be held.

In this open-air garden, there are only a few security guards in suits, and even the chef has a somewhat fierce temperament.

When You Miao arrived at the open-air garden, the first thing he saw was an ordinary man holding a bottle of happy water, standing in front of a flower bed and looking at something.

He walked over, glanced at the other person's face, and then said in a somewhat uncertain voice: "Ye Can? Brother Canlan?"

The latter froze, turned around and looked at You Miao, smiled and nodded, and asked, "Are you You Miao?"

"It's me, Brilliant Brother."

When he saw an acquaintance, the smile on You Miao's face immediately widened a little, and his movements also became more relaxed.

Both of them are from the third batch of comprehensive network players and are familiar with each other.

You Miao came close to Ye Can and said, "Tonight's banquet is too serious. It makes me a little nervous."

Ye Can glanced at him and nodded in agreement, "Who said it wasn't? Do you know who I was talking to just now?"

"Who?"

"The top leader of Jinghu City."

There was a hint of emotion in Ye Can's voice. With his background, it would be impossible for him to even speak a word to such a big shot in his entire life.

As a result, now the other party actually cares about his life with a friendly face.

I can only say that fate is so magical.

"Oh~"

You Miao was startled for a moment, and then Ye Can continued, "Get used to the change of identity as soon as possible, You Miao. We are no longer the same as before."

You Miao nodded silently. Before this, he just felt that he was lucky to be selected by the variety show network.

Then tonight, his perception must change.

Although he is lucky, this luck has fallen on him, so he has to take corresponding responsibilities, although at the moment he doesn't know what he needs to do.

The two of them talked as they walked, and the topic smoothly shifted to the point that everyone was most concerned about.

"Brother Canlan, why do you want to hold a dinner party in this open-air garden in the middle of winter?"

Facing You Miao's question, Ye Can casually threw the happy water in his hand into the trash can beside him, and then said: "I heard Sister Xiaoyu say before that it seemed that it was requested by Boss Gaoyang."

"Boss Gao Yang, that's no problem." Upon hearing this, You Miao naturally gave up the intention of asking further questions and said naturally:
"Speaking of which, it's almost seven o'clock now, why hasn't Boss Gao Yang arrived yet?"

Compared to You Miao's innocence, Ye Can, who has been struggling in society for many years, sees things more clearly.

"What's the big deal? The protagonist of tonight's dinner is Boss Gao Yang. The dinner can't start without him. Even if he arrives at ten o'clock, the dinner will officially start at that time."

"makes sense."

After You Miao finished speaking, he suddenly looked up at the sky. Ye Can's reaction was almost exactly the same as his.

Following their gaze, I saw an oppressive black shadow slowly approaching under the velvety night sky. I said slowly, but in reality, it was too far away. In reality, the shadow's speed was incredibly fast.

The black shadow did not hide its presence, so players like You Miao easily spotted it.

In just a few seconds, the black shadow was approaching the sky above the scenic area.

You Miao and Ye Can opened their mouths slightly, staring blankly at the huge and ferocious existence in the sky.

Against the backdrop of the night, the wingspan of a hundred meters seemed like a cloud covering the sky, the cold and hard scales reflected the bright moonlight, and the two pairs of huge vertical pupils carried an astonishing sense of oppression.

Even though they had already participated in several online adventures, they still lost their voices when they saw this scene.

"What kind of creature is that?"

"I don't know, but it's definitely not a creature from Earth."

Not only them, but everyone in this scenic area saw the two-headed ice dragon flying in the sky.

On its huge and broad back, a figure was sitting on the wide chair made of condensed ice.

Gao Yang looked down, then stood up and jumped off the dragon's back.

"Ah~"

His actions inevitably caused some exclamations, but everyone who could be here had already received the relevant information and had good psychological quality.

The exclamation quickly disappeared, and everyone's attention was focused on the rapidly falling figure.

The drop of more than 100 meters passed in a flash. When Gao Yang was only three meters away from the ground, his falling body suddenly stopped without any warning.

He just stepped on the air, as if walking down stairs, step by step, until he landed on the ground.

Such a scene was deeply imprinted in the hearts of everyone present, and some burning desire emerged in the eyes of the players on the network.

The expressions of the others varied, but most of them were filled with envy.

Ruan Xiaoyu came over, looked at Gao Yang and said jokingly: "Busy man, you are finally here."

Gao Yang smiled and said, "You're not late, are you?"

"of course not."

Ruan Xiaoyu looked up at the two-headed ice dragon in the sky, which was slowly moving away.

"really envy you."

Gao Yang smiled and shook his head, looking at her and said, "Don't envy me. Wait until you level up, and then you will be truly enviable. As for me, I just have a slight first-mover advantage."

"I'll just take what you said as true." Ruan Xiaoyu smiled like a flower and was very happy.

A few minutes after Gao Yang arrived, the dinner officially began.

Thanks to Gao Yang's unique way of traveling, tonight's dinner went very smoothly.

There were no lengthy speeches or casual social interactions. The nine online gamers just sat in the garden, eating, drinking and chatting. The atmosphere was very pleasant.

In Gaoyang, except for Ruan Xiaoyu who was a little familiar, everyone else was meeting for the first time.

The only one who can speak is Zhang Xuanqing, the direct descendant of Longhu Mountain.

The latter had read the Taoist Canon thoroughly and was the most knowledgeable among those present.

As for what Ruan Xiaoyu had said before, they naturally didn't need to worry about it.

It was only at the end of the banquet that Comrade Ruan Guohua, the father of Ruan Xiaoyu, who had met Gao Yang once, explained the relevant matters to Gao Yang and other network players.

After the dinner, Gao Yang jumped up amid the envious eyes of everyone, boarded the two-headed ice dragon and floated away.

Today is New Year's Eve, and the sound of firecrackers can be heard in Qiuyue Village early in the morning.

Gao Yang carried two stacks of yellow paper and a bottle of white wine and walked towards the back of Qiuyue Village.

Qiuyue Village is much more lively today than usual.

Many people who left Qiuyue Village have returned home in the past few days.

However, when Gao Yang walked among them, no one paid attention to him.

Gao Yang passed through Qiuyue Village and came to a small hill behind the village. He was going to pay homage to Grandpa Meng.

However, to Gao Yang's surprise, there was a figure standing in front of Grandpa Meng's grave.

After seeing the other person's face clearly, Gao Yang raised his eyebrows slightly and walked towards the other person without changing his pace.

Li Danwei heard footsteps and turned around. When she saw who was coming, there was a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"Gao Yang, I actually met you here."

"Yes, what a coincidence, Sister Danwei."

A smile appeared on Gao Yang's face. He came to Grandpa Meng's grave, lit two piles of paper money, poured a glass of wine for Grandpa Meng, and watched quietly as the yellow paper burned to ashes.

Then he stood up, looked at Li Danwei and said, "Sister Danwei, you are here to pay your respects to Grandpa Meng as well."

Li Danwei and he were both children of an orphanage. Li Danwei was two years older than him, but she had achieved more than him. I heard that she joined a large company after graduation and is probably a middle-level manager of that large company now.
