Acai's Sky

Xiaoxian's father, Xiao Jinlai, and his family of three slowly walked towards the living room, only to see ten banquet tables set up on the side of the restaurant.

Coming to Xiaoxian's grandfather, Xiao Lao, Xiao Jinlai said, "Dad, Xiaoxian has to participate in military training today. I can't take a leave, so I can only come over in the evening."

Old Xiao looked at his third son with a smile on his face, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, this kid is finally reliable for once. I've seen all the things he brought back, and they are indeed top-notch."

Xiao Jinlai also responded with a smile: "Actually, she had inquired about these things in advance, and especially asked her classmates to help her get the Taibai wine. As for the seafood, she just brought it back by the way!"

Hearing this, Old Xiao was delighted and thought to himself, "It seems my little granddaughter still has me, her grandfather, in her heart. I have to make it up to her later and not let her suffer any injustice. After all, he knew that the prices of special products in the dungeon were ridiculously high right now, and ordinary people simply couldn't earn that much!"

However, Xiaoxian's second aunt Jiang Pei suddenly interrupted, saying in a sarcastic tone, "It's just some seafood, what's the big deal? It's like no one has sent it! I even bought a lot of imported wine and fruit!"

Xiao Nailing casually glanced at Jiang Pei's wrist and said slowly, "I heard that if anyone doesn't enter the dungeon, unless they are under 15 or over 70, they will be investigated. They are either spies or traitors, so I want to ask which category you belong to?"

Hearing this, Jiang Pei was startled and quickly retracted her hand, saying, "The dungeon isn't a place you can just enter casually! Maybe it's because the number of places is limited!"

At this moment, Xiaoxian's mother gently stroked the exquisite watch on her exposed wrist and sneered, "Yes, we all truly love our motherland, much more sincerely than those who only pretend!"

Although Jiang Pei was furious, she couldn't refute anything. After all, she was in the middle of an investigation, so she could only hide in the old house for the time being.

Elder Jiang looked at his third granddaughter and asked with concern, "Your troops have also entered the dungeon, right? What are the specific arrangements?"

Xiao Nailing turned around and faced her grandfather, answering firmly, "Our entire troop has been assigned to the same Novice Village. In addition to completing missions, we will also undergo corresponding training in the dungeon!"

Old Xiao nodded in satisfaction, expressing his agreement: "This is a great opportunity! Our country has already benefited enormously from it. The dividends are so great that many people are jealous. We must pay close attention to the espionage activities of neighboring countries!"

After saying that, he glanced at Jiang Pei. His eyes were like two lightning bolts, piercing through Jiang Pei's body directly, making her feel a strong oppressive force, and all the hairs on her body stood up!

The old man's eyes seemed to be able to kill people, full of majesty and domineering, making people dare not look directly at him!

Seeing this, Xiao Jinlai quickly smiled and said, "Dad, everyone's waiting impatiently. Why don't we go to the table first? Many leaders are looking forward to meeting you, and my brother has been waiting for a long time!"

Only then did Mr. Xiao nod slightly to show his agreement, and then slowly stood up.

After Mr. Xiao stood up, the others quickly stood up as well and surrounded him as they walked towards the restaurant next door.

Along the way, Old Xiao didn't say a word, but the invisible aura around him made everyone feel a tremendous pressure.

After entering the restaurant, everyone applauded to welcome Mr. Xiao.

The entire restaurant is decorated in a simple and unpretentious style. The tables are filled with a variety of exquisite dishes and fine wines, exuding an alluring aroma.

Those who attended the birthday party were all senior cadres. They were wearing Zhongshan suits, and everyone's face was filled with solemn and warm smiles.

Surrounded by the crowd, Mr. Xiao came to the main seat and sat down. His eyes revealed a sense of majesty and confidence, as if the whole world was under his control.

He smiled and nodded to everyone, and everyone smiled and greeted him in return. At this birthday party, Xiao Lao's status and prestige were fully demonstrated. He was the absolute protagonist here!

The cadres sat around Mr. Xiao and talked to each other. The atmosphere was harmonious and warm.

They discussed national development, policy formulation, and social progress. Most importantly, they discussed the recently released dungeon system.

Mr. Xiao listened quietly and made some profound comments from time to time, which made everyone nod in praise.

Those who were able to come and participate in this birthday banquet basically belonged to the same faction.

They may have a complex network of relationships with each other, or they may be pursuing certain goals and ideas in common.

These people gathered together not only to celebrate Mr. Xiao's birthday, but also to take this opportunity to demonstrate their strength, exchange information and consolidate internal unity.

On this special occasion, people dressed up and chatted and laughed, revealing a tacit understanding and intimacy. Everyone knew that the deeper meaning behind this gathering was far more than what appeared on the surface.

It is both a review of past friendship and an exploration of the possibility of future cooperation.

It not only contains the subtle contest of power struggle, but also contains the opportunity of exchanging interests.

In short, this birthday banquet is like a stage where all kinds of characters appear on stage and perform together a wonderful yet confusing drama.

In this lively occasion, people flocked to Mr. Xiao, their faces filled with sincere smiles and blessings.

They all wished Mr. Xiao a happy birthday in unison: "May you be blessed as vast as the East Sea and live as long as the Southern Mountains..."

These blessings are like a warm spring breeze blowing through the heart, making people feel endless warmth and joy.

After hearing these beautiful wishes, Mr. Xiao was filled with joy and touched. His eyes, which were already bright, now became even brighter, and a happy smile blossomed on his face.

He slowly stood up, holding the wine glass high in his hand, as if showing his inner excitement and gratitude to everyone.

Everyone expressed their thoughts while enjoying the banquet.

"Except for the ones in the dungeon, it's hard to find such delicious seafood outside of here."

"That's right, but this [Taibai Liquor], I've never heard of any novice village having this!"

"The Newbie Village is full of Westerners, most of them drink wine and brandy, but there's really no Taibai liquor."

"There's a river in the Novice Village, with freshwater fish. Have you heard of any Novice Villages near the sea? Go back and check. Is there anything I missed?"

: “This wine is really good!”

"After drinking it, my whole body feels relaxed and my stomach feels especially warm!"

"Not only is [Taibai wine] good, the seafood flavor is even stronger, which means it has a hint of spiritual energy!"

"Go back and keep a close eye on those who weren't invited. See who they're hanging out with. Keep a tighter net!"

"It's been infiltrated so badly, in every aspect. People who were previously incredibly good haven't even been invited by the system. This is a huge problem..."

"Don't worry, now that everything has been exposed, we'll definitely purge a bunch of them, or send them abroad..."

"Humph! I've received protests from dozens of countries. Don't you think the news spread so quickly? Isn't it outrageous?"

"As the country develops, it's inevitable that some people will succumb to temptation and betray the country. We will never tolerate such people!"

"This event has become so large, the inviter never imagined it would happen. The dungeon team was also rushed into action after she notified them, with no time to arrange anything!"

"I don't have any points, so I'll have to find a way to invite you guys into the dungeon. This opportunity is rare, and even if it were me, I wouldn't want to let it go."

"From now on, anyone who wants to enter the dungeon will have to be invited. Without 10 points, you really can't enter!"

"So, dig out all the spies this time! Get them out as soon as possible! Don't even put them in jail, just drive them out of the country!"

"If the leader's relatives don't have watches and aren't invited to the game, we can't let them go. The danger is even greater!"

"Will you cooperate with us? Some of you have powerful backers!"

"Besides personal gain, what backers are involved? This isn't just a family matter; it's huge. The whole country is watching! Whoever lets it go will be arrested!"

: "All foreign troublemakers please get out and don't come back!"

"Those who have applied for Chinese citizenship but haven't had their applications approved before, just wait. We're all so busy!"

"The troops' training can't stop. Now every unit is almost in the same area. Hurry and leave the village. Taking on missions outside is more meaningful than taking on missions in the Novice Village!"

"Recently, many scientific academies have been discussing bringing long-running experiments back to the replicas to continue their work!"

"Very good, the dungeon group is where the real dungeon time is. The 1:365 time ratio is what's useful to scientists."

"The new anti-cancer drug is the result of Dr. Li's twenty-plus years of research, so the copy is of great significance to the entire scientific community!"

"I heard those doctors found a lot of rare herbs that are extinct here, and they are scarce materials for experiments."
