Ch 353: Brat! A Xing!
Jade looked at Sand Gold.
“Your luck has always been very good; this Enhancement Machine might actually be quite suitable for you.”
Sand Gold smiled upon hearing this.
“I’ll go over when I have time. For now, let’s finish the Sprite competition first.
If we do a good job with this first competition, subsequent second, third, and even more competitions will be easier to hold.”
As long as the first competition is well-executed, future ones can be built upon this foundation by adding new rules, which will save a lot of trouble.
Jade thought of something at this time.
“Right, Sand Gold, didn’t the Market Development Department previously want to interfere with the competition?”
Sand Gold nodded.
“Indeed, it was their Black Glove Fleet, the ones who do their dirty work.
However, unfortunately, they were completely wiped out by Aha.
Oh, no, that’s wrong. They weren’t completely wiped out; 100 people are still in the Joyful Grand Theatre as extras.”
Topa clicked her tongue twice.
“Tsk tsk~ The Market Development Department’s nerve is truly amazing. To actually try to directly target the Joyful Little Planet, I really admire their courage.”
Jade said.
“It’s a matter of intelligence. They didn’t know that the Joyful Star God exists here; otherwise, even a million times the courage wouldn’t make them dare to come.”
After finishing, Jade glanced at the hands on their watch.
“Alright, let’s end the conversation for today. Topa, let’s go back.”
Topa nodded upon hearing this and left Sand Gold’s office with Jade.
On the train, it is now a little past 2 PM, and basically everyone has returned from the Joyful Little Planet.
Rimuru extended an invitation to everyone to attend a celebratory banquet and have some fun.
Star, Liuyin, Amber, Kiana, and Hu Tao, a few idle people, readily agreed.
Zhongli, Jing Yuan, and others politely declined; they still had things to do.
Ye Yun looked at Klee, who was sitting in his arms, and rubbed Klee’s little head.
“Klee, do you want to go and play?”
Klee, upon hearing this, looked up and smiled sweetly at Ye Yun.
“Klee wants to go! Klee wants to ride a big wolf!”
Bailu immediately followed suit.
“This young lady is also going! My wolf pup is still too young to ride.”
Qiqi dully echoed.
“Qiqi, ride big wolf, want to play.”
Ye Yun, having heard this, also decided to attend the celebratory banquet and take Klee and the others to play.
Ye Yun, the Seven Little Ones, Star and a few others, Jizi, Walther, and Kafka followed Rimuru through the portal to attend the banquet.
After passing through the portal, the group arrived at Rimuru’s Demon City-State.
After a period of development, the Goblin tribe, which originally only had a few tattered tents, has now become a prosperous town.
The houses in the town were all built by Construction Robots, each with its own unique characteristics.
Miss Jing was waiting by the portal. As soon as Star, Amber, and the others came out, they saw Jing.
“Jing! Long time no see!”
Jing smiled and greeted Star and the others.
“Long time no see, Star, Amber, Hu Tao.”
After greeting, Star’s gaze fell on Ran’ya beside them.
“Oh~ Isn’t this Ran’ya? You’ve grown another horn on your head! Come, let me touch it and see how it feels.”
Ran’ya wanted to dodge, but their speed was not as fast as Star’s, so Star directly grabbed their horn.
Ran’ya tried to struggle a few times, but after finding it useless, they gave up and let Star touch their horn and head.
Klee, Bailu, Hook, and the Seven Little Ones, seeing Ran’ya, also cheered happily and rushed over.
“Big wolf!”
Bailu ran to Ran’ya’s side, looked at Ran’ya’s back, and a longing look appeared in their eyes.
Bailu grabbed Ran’ya’s fur and, using all four limbs, climbed up.
Ran’ya looked back at Bailu and then ignored them. They knew the identities of these little ones.
They are the darlings of the group. Lord Rimuru said that once, a Doctor offended them.
What awaited that Doctor was a cross-world, never-ending pursuit.
Ran’ya didn’t want to pursue; besides, they were just a few children; it’s alright.
Afterwards, Jing took Star, Hu Tao, and Kiana to play.
Ye Yun, Jizi, Kafka, and Walther were taken to the banquet by Rimuru.
Star, Hu Tao, and Kiana followed Jing to a plaza.
There, there was a simple open-air kitchen.
Inside the kitchen, a chubby Goblin, Shuna, and many female Goblins were preparing food.
Star also saw the Bee and Beetle honey-gathering team; they were carrying a bucket of honey.
They were very busy today, collecting honey all day for tonight’s banquet.
Star came to the bee and looked into the bucket.
“Is this honey?”
The bee looked at Star and nodded.
Seeing this, Star reached out and put some honey in their mouth.
The taste of pure, natural honey was quite delicious; Star’s eyes lit up.
“Mmm~ This tastes great! More!”
Saying so, Star reached out again, and the bee quickly dodged with the bucket.
Star chased after them.
“Don’t be so stingy~ Let me have a little more~”
Seeing this, the beetle immediately ran over to save the day.
The beetle charged! The beetle accelerated!
The beetle was getting closer! The beetle! The beetle! The beetle was swatted away!
The beetle just flew past and happened to hit Star’s swinging hand while they were running and was directly swatted away.
Star turned around, full of question marks.
“Huh? Did my hand just hit something?”
Star looked around and spotted the bee, which was about to run away.
“Never mind, the honey is important!”
Star took off after them again.
Ye Yun saw Star chasing the bee and couldn’t help but sigh.
This Star is such a mischievous child; they’re making Rimuru’s city-state a chaotic mess.
As soon as they arrived, they went to touch other people’s Ran’ya’s horn, and then they chased after other people’s little bee to steal honey.
Ye Yun sat and chatted with Rimuru, the Great Oni Tribe Chieftain, and Benimaru.
Soon, Shuna came with two Oni carrying a large plate of roasted meat.
The two Oni placed the stone plate on the table, and Rimuru beckoned everyone to start eating.
Ran’ya, seeing that it was time to eat, also came to Ye Yun and the others with the Seven Little Ones.
The Seven Little Ones huddled together tightly on Ran’ya’s back.
Klee poked out a little head.
“Brother Ye~ Klee is so happy, so much fun!”
Ye Yun smiled indulgently, stepped forward, and hugged Klee and the other little ones one by one.
Jizi and Kafka also came to help, each taking two Little Darlings to eat.
The dining table was rather low, similar to the height of a coffee table. The Seven Little Ones stood by the dining table, drooling at the large table of roasted meat.
Bailu stood on tiptoe and took two lamb skewers, handing one to Klee.
“Klee, here you go.”
