Only a fool would choose the slightly worse option if he could get something better.

For a Star-level production-type rare beast that proves its value through output, this 20% increase in output is a very large amount of wealth.

"Brother Nukin, thank you in advance."

"I've never attended one of your banquets before, so I'm wondering how many options there are in the treasure-hunting competition?"

Nukin's words were an attempt to curry favor with Lin Xu and do him a favor.

The worst thing about doing this kind of thing is that others won't appreciate your kindness.

If others do not reciprocate your kindness, it means they have no intention of developing a deep friendship with you.

Lin Xu's words brought a bright smile to Nukin's face.

"The treasure hunt is a fixed competition at every banquet. To ensure fairness, the treasure will be drawn from dozens of options."

Each guest at the banquet first draws an option.

"Then I'll put all the options together and draw the winning one."

"These options are divided into very specific categories, so finding the high-value item corresponding to each option is not an easy task."

"I won't participate in the insect fighting competition, but I'll join everyone in the treasure appreciation competition."

"And when they were competing to find treasure, they would always put up some bets on each other to make it more fun."

"Haha, Brother Xu Lin, since you're already here, you should definitely participate, right?"

"Even if you don't get first place, if you can rank in the top three, I can give you a 12% discount next time you buy something in my trading area."

"I never used to offer discounts when I sold things."

Nujin explained the specifics and rules of the treasure-hunting competition to Lin Xu.

On the one hand, they tried their best to invite Lin Xu to participate in the treasure appreciation competition.

Nukin wanted to use this opportunity to probe Lin Xu's background.

If Lin Xu doesn't participate, then naturally he won't be able to find out anything.

Lin Xu nodded upon hearing this.

"Of course I'll participate."

"I wonder which of the two competitions, treasure appraisal and insect fighting, will be held first?"

During the exchange between Lin Xu and Nukin.

Wu Wen stood to the side, feeling like he had no presence at all.

Seeing that his cousin Nujin had talked so much with Lin Xu, Wu Wen interjected at the right time.

"Each banquet begins with a treasure appreciation event, followed by other competitions."

"Besides treasure viewing, the other competition at the last banquet was beast fighting, with the ranks limited to those below the peak of the Fantasy rank."

"Many excellent rare beasts died in that beast fighting competition."

"Several people turned pale on the spot when they saw the wild beasts they brought being killed."

"When the insect fighting competition starts later, if you feel that you are no match for the insects brought by the other party, you can withdraw before the battle begins."

"This time I brought a decapitating mantis!"

"I am a strong contender for first place in the insect fighting competition."

Based on what Wu Wen said, Lin Xu could tell that Wu Wen was a guy with extremely high emotional intelligence.

Speaking of the beast-fighting competition held at the last banquet, some people were unhappy because their ferocious beasts were killed.

It was to tell myself that if I wanted to participate in insect fighting competitions...

You can protect the fighting insects you bring, depending on the actual situation.

Wu Wen then revealed his trump card for the insect fighting competition: a decapitated mantis at the peak of the extraordinary level.

It was obvious that they were afraid Lin Xu would run into them in the insect fighting competition, so they were giving Lin Xu a heads-up in advance.

Nukin put his hand on Wood's shoulder and laughed twice.

"Your decapitation mantis is a last-minute attempt to learn from the best."

"In terms of grade, it is still a bit short of the Star-level."

"There will definitely be Star-level insects in the insect battles, so don't forget to surrender then."

"Otherwise, if your Decapitation Mantis gets killed, don't come crying to me asking me to find you another one."

As they spoke, Nujin and Wuwen led Lin Xu back to the main courtyard of the palace.

At this moment, more than a dozen guests were already seated on the soft leather sofas placed in the main courtyard.

The milky-white sofa leather had an unusually unique fragrance.

If Lin Xu wasn't mistaken, this sofa was made from the soft leather inside the reproductive area of ​​the Scented Whale, a mythical aquatic giant whale.

While most whales breathe with lungs, the giant smelt whale has evolved gill tissue in addition to lungs.

It can truly dive into the deep sea for nearly a week before surfacing once.

The whales from this special region possess a unique fragrance in their skin, and even if their strength is raised to the mythical level, they are still powerful.

They still couldn't escape the fate of being hunted down by powerful figures from various factions.

The price of this sofa set is probably almost comparable to the diamond-grade auspicious peony variety that I previously traded to Yiluo!

Nukin, as the host of this banquet, certainly had some good stuff at his disposal.

If in the treasure-appreciation competition later, the competition will feature furniture made from high-grade materials.

Lin Xu was not qualified to participate at all.

For Lin Xu, who was reborn less than four months ago and only had four months of experience after the nationwide transmigration, this was a significant achievement.

It simply cannot compare to the treasures accumulated by those powerful forces that have been passed down for tens of thousands of years in those fantasy worlds.

The vast majority of those attending the banquet were familiar faces.

All eyes were now on Lin Xu.

Looking at Lin Xu's outfit, the expression on their faces was almost identical to the expressions Nujin and Wuwen had when they saw Lin Xu before.

"Nukin, why don't you introduce the person you've personally greeted to us?"

"Brother Leng You has been here for almost five minutes, and I haven't seen you show up yet."

"It wouldn't be good if Brother Leng You felt you were being disrespectful!"

Upon hearing this, Nukin glanced at the young man sitting on the sofa fiddling with his staff, and frowned slightly.

But she quickly regained her original smile.

He introduced Lin Xu to everyone and greeted Leng You.

Among all the guests at this banquet, the one with the deepest background was Leng You, the young master of the Dragon Clan of Jinglong Valley.

Unlike Nujin, who, despite being born into the Twin Hammers tribe and being the son of the Twin Hammers tribe's orc king, had dozens or even hundreds of brothers.

Leng You's position in Jinglong Valley is very secure.

The Dragonkin race values ​​the eldest son and the legitimate heir, and Leng You is the eldest son among the Dragonkin race in Jinglong Valley.

He is also the only successor to the clan chief!

Leng You didn't seem to care too much, but Nujin was indeed treating her coldly.

The last time I attended a banquet, it was Nukin who took the initiative to greet me.

But this second time he attended the banquet, the person he was hosted was this guy named Xu Lin.

Judging from his aura, Xu Lin is a pure human.

Judging from their attire alone, it's difficult to tell whether they are practitioners of an Eastern school of martial arts.

Or perhaps a Western-style mage skilled in magic, or a noble knight.

However, Leng You has never liked people using her as a cover.

"As Nukin just said, this is Xu Lin's first time attending a banquet, so it's normal for him to personally greet him."

"The first time I came here, Nukin also received me."

"If you have any complaints, just tell me."

"Don't you have a name?"

Ever since Leng You arrived, Tu'er has been trying to please her.

As the fifth prince of the Flame Kingdom, Tu'er has always been quite proud.

Leng You had clearly enjoyed a pleasant conversation with him.

They're not giving me any face at all now!

However, Leng You was right; he was indeed quite dissatisfied with Nujin's behavior.

Because when he came to the banquet, Nukin did not personally greet him.

Instead, it was Wu Wen, who was standing next to Nukin, who brought along other guests he knew.

As the number of resources available to us increases.

Tour also had the idea of ​​gathering connections and hosting banquets, just like Nukin.

Tours came with the intention of recruiting some people from Nukin's banquet to attend his own.

To put it bluntly, they're here to cause trouble.

I never expected things to go so badly from the very beginning!

His words carried only a slight hint of coldness.

As a result, Leng You turned around and retorted without any politeness.

Can a dragon-man get rabies? (ˉ▽ˉ;)...?
