Chapter 605: What Kind of Weird Medicine?
Lin Yuan could ask them face to face tomorrow.
He knew that Zhang Xiaobai, Xin Ying, Tan Ran, and Lu Pinru were all strong-headed. They refused to share their problems even when they were struggling.
However, Lin Yuan could never ignore friends who had gone through hell and back with him.
...
The Dragon Gate Guild Club’s meeting room was awash with light.
Even though it was the new year, none of the main team or reserve team members were absent.
Several of the reserve members sat ramrod straight, and their eyes were bright. They were clearly waiting with bated breath.
A young girl was draped lazily over the meeting room table, and her hands rubbed her stomach.
The youth with a bowl-cut next to the young girl pursed his lips and whispered, “Zhao Xiaochun, didn’t we just eat barbeque together? You had three roasted pig knuckles all to yourself. All I had was an ear of roasted corn. Even if you aren’t full, you don’t have to act like you’re starving!”
Zhao Xiaochun glanced at Fang Duoduo before she continued rubbing her stomach and said weakly, “You’re so mean, Fang Duoduo! Not only did you not offer to pay for your meal with the beautiful yours truly, but you even greedily stuffed yourself with corn. I would be full if I had eaten the corn too.”
Fang Duoduo stared incredulously at Zhao Xiaochun.
Is she for real?
Fang Duoduo suddenly realized what Zhao Xiaochun had been after when she asked him to have a meal with him last night.
He had misconstrued her meaning.
The main point was not to have a meal but to accompany her.
He was supposed to watch and accompany her as she ate.
However, Fang Duoduo felt that he had not crossed a line by eating a single ear of corn. Even if he had bought Zhao Xiaochun 50 ears of corn, she would probably still behave in the same manner.
Long Tao sat on the main seat and heard the discourse between Fang Duoduo and Zhao Xiaochun.
He frustratedly knocked on the table and said, “Enough. I’m trying to settle the arrangements for tomorrow’s Allstar Match. If you haven’t had your fill, you can go to House of Enviable Fragrance to eat their famous stewed beef. They have a good buffet too.”
Fang Duoduo blinked toward Long Tao. He wondered what the boss of House of Enviable Fragrance had done to anger Long Tao.
If Zhao Xiaochun went to eat there, she would bankrupt the entire buffet restaurant.
The Royal Capital finally had a buffet restaurant, so Zhao Xiaochun’s eyes immediately lit up.
“House of Enviable Fragrance? Why haven’t I heard of this place? What’s the address?” she asked Long Tao.
When he heard Zhao Xiaochun ask those questions, Fang Duoduo silently wished the boss of House of Enviable Fragrance the best of luck.
Long Tao picked up his phone and pressed a few buttons. He waved his phone in front of Zhao Xiaochun and said, “I just sent House of Enviable Fragrance’s address to the group chat.”
Zhao Xiaochun immediately picked up her phone enthusiastically. She no longer looked starved and weak.
Fang Duoduo checked the House of Enviable Fragrance’s address in the group chat. He could not figure out the freak that was Long Tao.
What kind of weird medicine has he been eating?
Long Tao coughed with a straight face and said, “The Allstar Match starts off with a performance competition. As an A-level guild club, our guild club has no choice but to take part. Duoduo will lead the competition performance. Both Xiaochun and I will not join in. The three main members just need to add two reserve members to the roster.”
Fang Duoduo hastily quipped, “Yes, captain.”
The Allstar Match was more like a large-scale carnival. Thus, the teams usually did not display their key members. Instead, they showcased the talents of their high-grade feys.
This was not Fang Duoduo’s first time leading the performance competition in the Allstar Match. Hence, he looked directly at the five reserve members and started to strategize.
When Zhao Xiaochun heard that she would not be required to enter the performance competition, she turned to Long Tao and said, “Since I’m not needed at the performance competition, it means I’m exempted from the guided battle too. How about I take the chance to take leave and explore the shops?”
Long Tao’s expression darkened.
Although Long Tao was a freak, he was helpless against a glutton like Zhao Xiaochun.
“You can’t go exploring. But I will treat all of you to a feast after the Allstar Match.”
Zhao Xiaochun, who had initially become dispirited after hearing that she could not explore the shops, raised her hand when she heard that Long Tao would be treating them to a meal tomorrow night.
“I can’t eat too much tonight because of tomorrow’s Allstar Match. I’ll just have a small tasting of House of Enviable Fragrance’s food later. If I like what I taste, let’s have the feast there tomorrow night!”
At Zhao Xiaochun’s mention of the House of Enviable Fragrance, Long Tao suddenly looked at Zhao Xiaochun with an odd gaze.
Long Tao nodded and said, “Let’s go to the House of Enviable Fragrance tomorrow then. As for the challenge match and guided battle, all four of the main team members will be exempted. How about we send Ah Feng?”
Chen Hongfeng instantly shot up and said earnestly, “Captain, I will be sure to live up to the Dragon Gate Guild Club’s reputation.”
The other four reserve members were jealous of Chen Hongfeng, who Long Tao had chosen to participate in the challenge match and guided battle.
However, they were helpless against the situation since it meant that Chen Hongfeng was going to participate in a quarter of the matches.
With this, Chen Hongfeng had now climbed one rung up from the rest of the reserve members. He would likely be promoted to the main team next year.
When Long Tao heard Chen Hongfeng’s promise, he said, “Your Smooth-Toothed Elephant Lizard has reached Gold X/Epic. Although the dragon-species bloodline hasn’t been awakened, it’s close enough. The Huge-Tailed Swamp Lizard has also reached Gold X/Epic. After this Allstar Match, I’ll help you find someone who will evolve your Huge-Tailed Swamp Lizard to Legend quality. Then, you’ll be able to use the Willpower Rune you comprehended.”
After Chen Hongfeng heard about how Long Tao intended to help him, he quickly replied, “Thank you, captain. The Smooth-Toothed Elephant Lizard’s dragon-species bloodline is being stimulated every day ever since it consumed the Flawless Dragon’s Mouth Orchid you gave me. It should be able to be promoted to Dragon-Toothed Elephant Lizard tomorrow.”
Long Tao nodded and ended the meeting after giving Fang Duoduo a few more instructions.
