Forty thousand years later, he became a god in the warp
Chapter 49 Attending a dinner party to witness the gap
Anthony was thinking about the evening banquet. Following Lin Heng would also allow him to get some influence and get into the aristocratic circles. In time, he might even become one of the aristocrats. Just when he was filled with joy, Anthony looked at the clothes Lin Heng was wearing and shook his head.
"No, no, you can't wear this kind of clothes to the banquet. You will be laughed at by those nobles. Let's go get a dress while there is still time!"
Lin Heng looked at his clothes. Since there were no bright colors in the nest city, Lin Heng was only wearing some combat work clothes. It looked okay for daily wear, but if he went to a dinner party, he might be mistaken for someone's bodyguard.
So the two of them rushed to the clothing store and spent tens of thousands of credit points to make a luxurious dress. The structure of this dress is similar to that of a suit, but it is a bit restrictive to wear, and the various decorations make Lin Heng feel uncomfortable.
Anthony also comforted her, saying that it was a proud moment after all, so it was okay to be uncomfortable. Without this dress, she would not even be qualified to enter.
The special car for the banquet arrived, and the driver got out, opened the door for the two of them, and respectfully invited them to get in the car.
Anthony was very excited. He couldn't usually enjoy this kind of luxury, so he enjoyed it this time.
Lin Heng had been a little depressed since he started buying clothes. Although he earned the money easily, he still felt unacceptable when he thought about how someone killed someone just for a few pieces of food. It was a bit bad to spend the money like that.
Anthony got into the car as if he was back home. He opened the car refrigerator, took out a bottle of wine, poured it into the glass and savored it carefully. During this time, he also signaled Lin Heng to try it. But the other party just shook his head and refused.
"I'm the owner of a bar, how can I lie to you! My more than ten kinds of drinks are actually blended, and the more than ten kinds of names actually only differ in the alcohol content. The ones in these cars are real brewed wines, and only the nobles can afford them!
Hey! Don’t stop me when the time comes, I must drink to my heart’s content!”
Lin Heng said it wouldn't matter if he drank to death, Anthony laughed and continued to taste his wine.
Shuttled between the nest towers, Lin Heng gradually saw other special cars appearing, they were all heading to the same destination. The number of vehicles dispatched for just one banquet was more than that of a clan. Such financial resources were worthy of the power behind those nest cities.
The words that Helton had said suddenly rang in Lin Heng's mind. Lin Heng could even empathize with the hatred of those nobles. He didn't know if it was because his "five senses" had been improved, or because Helton's words were too precise, but Lin Heng always unconsciously wanted to hate those missing nobles.
"What do you think of Helton?" Lin Heng asked while looking out the window.
"Hmm? Lord Helton... I'm not sure. Although we are in the upper nest, we are still at the bottom of the hierarchy. How can we come into contact with such people? But I heard that he has a bad temper and doesn't seem like a good person. We are all the leaders of the hive city. What good things can there be? Good things can't make the hive city become like this."
Anthony gulped down his drink and poured himself another.
"He has a bad temper... he doesn't look like a good person..." Lin Heng said to himself. So what kind of person is he? A prodigal son who has returned to the right path, sleeping on straw and tasting gall, keeping a low profile?
I hope I can meet him tonight and get some information out of him.
As they were talking, the special car arrived at a Gothic palace. The majestic building made Lin Heng feel very insignificant. How much manpower, material resources and financial resources would be needed to build such a building? How powerful are those nobles!
The maid led the two to the hall. Anthony, who was originally very comfortable, became nervous after entering, and kept rubbing his hands, as if he didn't know where to put them. However, Lin Heng doubted everything and examined everything from beginning to end.
Because this place is totally incompatible with the style of the outside world of the Nest City. Lin Heng, who had been in the outside world for a long time, did not feel uncomfortable even when he went to Helton's office.
Now, this magnificent palace was filled with laughter and lively music, which made Lin Heng feel as if he was in another world.
"My...my emperor! It's really different! Too...too luxurious!" Anthony said while swallowing his saliva and looking around.
The servant brought the wine, and Anthony took it hurriedly and nodded to the other party.
"Yes...it's so beautiful that one can't look directly at it."
It was magnificent and resplendent, with birds flying over the eaves. Lin Heng had never seen so many light sources in a building. Looking up, the roof was shiny and bright at a height of dozens of meters.
This is inappropriate to say. Lin Heng even felt that he had no shadow, because the light came from all directions, but surprisingly it did not blind his eyes.
If we take out some of the light source and put it into the pipes of the bottom nest, we won't be as passive as before, Lin Heng thought.
"Did you see that, Lin Heng? The guy over there is the president of the Iron and Steel Guild! And the guy over there is from the Water Purification Guild! My old emperor, you don't usually see these people all at once!"
"That's right. They won't easily set foot in the hive. After all, their territory is much cleaner than the roads in the upper nest. They won't even step on the ground that is not paved with carpets."
Just as Anthony was sighing, Helton's voice sounded from behind the two of them.
Lin Heng turned around and saw that Caroline in an evening gown was following Anthony. Her white hair and tall figure complemented each other perfectly. With this elegant evening gown, Lin Heng couldn't help but sigh that she looked really good.
"Lord... Lord... Lin Heng, I will evacuate first... You... You... forget it."
Anthony ran away immediately as his butt was on fire, and no one present paid any attention to him.
"How is it? Have you ever thought that there will be such a scene in the hive city?"
"No, this is beyond my expectation. I thought the hive was the same color from inside to outside."
"Hahaha, you're much better than me. When I saw this scene, I couldn't even utter a word for a long time. My trembling arms couldn't even hold the wine glass handed to me by the servant. Hahaha, you see I'm much more used to it now."
Helton said as he brought two cups and handed one to Lin Heng.
"Take it. Even if you don't drink it, you have to hold it so as not to be out of place..."
"Where is Caroline?" Lin Heng asked.
"I don't need to. I'm a guard, and others will know it." Caroline said expressionlessly.
"Okay, okay, Caroline, just follow from a distance and give us some space alone." Helton said, motioning Lin Heng to follow.
The two of them walked in the hall, and Helton introduced each guest to Lin Heng.
"This is the Minister of Military Affairs, and this is Lin Heng, the one who is gaining momentum in the recent Steel Armor Boxing Tournament."
"Oh! It's you. A hero is born young. I wonder if you are interested in joining the military. With your boxing skills, you will definitely shine in the army!"
Lin Heng didn't know what to say, he just nodded with the corners of his mouth pulled, fortunately Helton comforted him.
"Oh, no, that won't work. I want him to be the captain of my personal guard!"
"Then you brought it here just to make us envious, right? Hahaha."
Helton said a few words, then found a reason to leave and continued walking with Lin Heng.
"This is the president of the Electric Power Guild, this..."
The two of them stopped and walked, and Lin Heng met a series of different characters. They were either from the military or leaders of various guilds, including several low-ranking nobles.
As for those high-ranking nobles, Helton could only communicate with them with permission, and his status had to be very humble.
"Helton, in the steel fist match, I am voting for the original champion. Does your friend really want to fight in physical combat?" said a duke.
"If a young man wants to try his luck, just follow him. It will be good for him to suffer a little loss, and it will also make him less arrogant." Helton said with his head down.
"Well, that's a good point. It's indeed the right decision to push you to power. And you should pass the bill on the development of the suburban rock ridge, so that the planetary governor won't say anything more." The Duke waved his hand to signal the two of them to go down.
Helton nodded and said nothing more.
Seeing that no one was around, Lin Heng asked, "What kind of banquet is this?"
"There are all kinds of things. They are for the purpose of uniting as one, for assassinating the enemy, for saving humanity, and for cleaning up the bottom nest. It can also be a party because a noble has a pet, or it can be a party for exchanging new playmates. There are thousands and thousands of them. There are always new things for them to come up with.
Now you only see the surface, only the difference in status, the auction that will be held soon is the highlight. If you have something you like, you can bid for it as long as you have enough money. "Helton said.
After Lin Heng came into contact with these people, he always felt that they were just being hypocritical, just like at the Nest City Conference, where everyone was asking questions with a purpose and solving problems with a purpose.
Lin Heng could feel that emotion in everyone, even if they were always smiling. Lin Heng seemed to hear the other person's true thoughts.
"A fool from the bottom nest who only knows how to fight."
"That dress is as ugly as a plumber's."
"It's so funny that Helton actually hired a bottom nest scum as a boxer."
"As expected, I can tell at a glance that he is from the bottom of the society. He knows nothing and yet he still dreams of climbing up the social ladder by boxing."
...Too much, Lin Heng wanted to cover his ears. Why could he hear such voices? What did he do to deserve such insults?
Is it just because Lin Heng was born in the wrong womb and ended up traveling to the bottom nest?
"Ah. It's so disgusting. I seem to hear the other side constantly insulting us. Even if I become a lord, the symbol of the bottom nest is engraved on my forehead. Haha, it's really helpless."
Helton looked at Lin Heng's frown and added with a chuckle.
