National Fortune Bonus: After the new player awakens at the maximum level, he will kill like crazy

Huiyue waited in the front hall for a long time and really began to feel drowsy.

After all, surrounded by the aroma of so many Chinese herbs and with calming incense burning nearby, it was hard for her not to feel sleepy.

Su Mohui gently woke her up, and then they walked out of the pharmacy together.

The streets at this time were even more lively than when I first left the house.

As the New Year draws to a close, some families have already started buying New Year's goods, and people on the streets of the capital have started to decorate with lights and lanterns. Look, some people have already started hanging lanterns in front of their doors.

The shops on both sides of the street are filled with cakes, candies, cured meats, wines and other New Year goods. The aroma fills the air, making people salivate.

The cries of vendors and the bargaining of customers echo in the streets and alleys from time to time.

Accompanied by the laughter of adults and children, Su Mohui and Huiyue returned to the Su family.

Su Mohui placed the space ring containing the medicinal herbs on her desk and washed up briefly.

She changed into men's clothes, put on the familiar freckles and moles in front of the mirror, and then with a serious face...stuffed a bunch of insoles into her shoes to increase her height before going out.

I made an appointment with Qi Mo and Shen Jia'an yesterday, and today I will bring Zhan Qing to have dinner together.

Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, Su Mohui walked quickly through the streets and alleys with the pace of a dragon, came to the college to pick up Zhan Qing, and went to Yixian Building with her.

The last time I went to have a meal with them, I learned that Qi Mo had generously reserved a good private room with the shopkeeper.

After all... he gave too much. If the place is so crowded that there is no room for ordinary guests, the shopkeeper will record it in the account book, send someone to tell the people at the Imperial Capital Auction House, and then make arrangements for other guests.

Normally, this private room is reserved only for him.

Just as Su Mohui and Zhan Qing stopped in front of Yixian Tower, a waiter recognized Su Mohui with his sharp eyes, and welcomed them to the private room with a sincere and warm smile.

"You're here--" Shen Jia'an heard Yin'er was already waiting for them at the heavy and elegant door of the private room.

Su Mohui and Zhan Qing followed him in and saw the rich dishes on the round table at a glance... and Qi Mo who was waiting for them.

As the two of them entered the private room, waiters came in one after another, bringing in the last few hot dishes and soups, arranging them neatly, and then left.

At the same time, Zhan Qing glanced around briefly. On the wall hung several landscape paintings, and under them was a guqin.

The red round wooden table on which the dishes were placed was also decorated with exquisite porcelain and silver tableware. The windows of the private room were cleverly designed, with exquisite patterns carved on the window frames.

There were several pots of dwarf pine on the terrace where Qi Mo was standing. In the corner of the inner room, there were some exquisite furnishings and some wintersweets in vases.

Another waiter came and brought up the wine that Qi Mo had stored earlier, added more wine cups and filled them up, then closed the door and left.

"Oh, everyone is here, let's eat." Qi Mo was originally standing on the terrace, leaning on the railing and looking at the hustle and bustle of traffic downstairs. He turned his head and looked over after hearing the sound, but when his eyes stayed on Su Mohui, the laziness on his face turned into a faint smile.

He glanced at the sky, which looked like it might snow. He closed the wooden door to the terrace and lowered the curtains to block out the cold wind.

The four of them slowly sat down and started eating.

Qi Mo was still wearing a black robe. He smiled and raised his glass, saying, "Today's meal is to celebrate our successful battle with the Xipan Church yesterday, where we successfully wiped out their lair and escaped unscathed. Secondly, it's to welcome our new friend Zhan Qing..."

"Welcome new friend Zhan Qing to join our organization," Shen Jiaan interrupted Qi Mo with a smile, but raised his glass and continued speaking.

Su Mohui and Zhan Qing paused in the air as they raised their glasses. The former tilted his head and looked at him questioningly, "When did we have an organization? How come I didn't know about it..."

"I just thought of it. The name of our organization is The Other Shore. We will always be each other's other shore—" Shen Jia'an had a childish look on his face, which made Qi Mo and the other two smack their lips, but they did not refuse him.

Zhan Qing smiled and responded to the three people sincerely, "Okay, it's my honor to meet you all..." Her eyes swept across the faces of the three people, and when she looked at Su Mohui, there was a little more tenderness in her eyes.

The four people's wine glasses collided in the air, making a crisp sound.

"Su Mo, Zhan Qing, you two should eat more of this fish. This is their signature dish. It's so delicious..." Shen Jiaan strongly recommended the dish closest to him.

"This tea-fruit pastry is also delicious..." Qi Mo also recommended his favorite.

Only Zhan Qing didn't make any recommendations, but under the gazes of the two boys, she directly picked up the serving chopsticks and picked up some food for Su Mohui. At this moment, Su Mohui's bowl was already piled high with food...

As they ate and drank, the scene became increasingly strange, and they talked about the Sipan Church again.

After all, the four people present had met the Xipan Church before, and Zhan Qing knew this organization best.

"Their personnel have all been deployed to the Imperial Capital Academy. It's no exaggeration to say they are bringing disaster to the nation and its people."

Zhan Qing nodded, took a sip of sake, and agreed, "Yes, to put it nicely, they are a group of alchemists, but to be honest, they are just a group of lunatics pursuing immortality."

"Now even the dean Shangguan Lie has become their man. I can't imagine how many freshmen disappeared quietly in previous years..." Shen Jia'an disliked Qi Mo's sake and replaced it with strong liquor. As he spoke, he also picked up the glass and took a sip.

Qi Mo glanced at the three people's expressions and continued, "According to my family's investigation, this Xipan Church is very extreme. They first conducted research on animals and later began human research..."

Listening to Qi Mo's words, Su Mohui paused while drinking her soup. Suddenly, she thought of her dream last night. She put down the bowl and asked tentatively, "Have you heard of the Second Continent...?"

The remaining three people's expressions froze, and gradually began to become serious. After all, they had special identities and must have known something...

"Are you talking about the monsters from the second continent?" Zhan Qing put down the dessert in his hand and looked at Su Mohui.

The latter nodded, Qi Mo and Shen Jia'an glanced at each other imperceptibly, then looked at Su Mohui, motioning her to continue speaking.

"Last night, um... I was browsing through the classics at home and came across a book about the Second Continent. It mentioned something about this..." Su Mohui lowered her eyes, her gaze resting on the wine glass beside her. "The classics record that there were already demonic beasts on the Second Continent, but after the Xipan Church appeared, their number increased dramatically..."

"I learned this when I was reading ancient books before. Originally, the continent was connected, but later it was slowly divided into two..." Shen Jiaan thought thoughtfully.

"But if that's the case, the timeline doesn't match. Master You once said that the sudden rise to fame of the Xipan Church was due to the emergence of the Karl Empire, but the classics record that the Xipan Church only appeared after the emergence of the second continent..." Qi Mo was a little confused. Logically speaking, You Fuyao would not give false information.

In this case....
