Chapter 277: Chapter 255: Only Fine Food Should Not Be Let Down (Two-in-One Chapter)

A black business car carrying several people headed towards Shuize City.

Scenes flashed by the window constantly, towering buildings, vehicles and pedestrians coming and going, bustling and lively images kept appearing before Matissa’s eyes.

She was somewhat surprised.

This was her first time acting as a ’Messenger,’ but before taking on the role, Matissa had read through numerous books related to the adjacent worlds and heard many stories from ’experienced old Messengers,’ not to mention the specialized pre-assignment training she had received.

She had a concept in her mind of what a world undergoing erosion by the Mysterious Evil might look like.

However, this concept began to topple when she arrived at Blue Star.

The scenes beyond the window were bustling yet peaceful, with few signs of disaster’s impact, no exhaustion or fear on people’s faces. The towering skyscrapers and the vehicle named ’car’ speeding her along indicated a world far from ordinary.

Still, it was only the car that slightly astonished her.

In Matissa’s opinion, although cars were somewhat interesting, they were too fragile. She could smash one without even using her sword, and they could only travel on smooth roads.

They seemed clever but impractical toys.

What puzzled her most was the complete absence of the Mysterious Evil’s influence throughout the city, which was quite different from what she had been taught in pre-assignment training.

At first, Matissa thought this might be an exception, assuming this place was the ’capital city.’ But as the business car left the city, and she saw the emptiness of the expressways that followed, it somewhat conformed to her understanding.

However, upon the vehicle’s entry into the capital of Shuize State, Shuize City, a city that was several times more prosperous than Linshan City, her recently consolidated understanding was once again overturned.

This isn’t mysterious!

Even with a hundred times the strength, it’s impossible to stop the spread of disaster—how did Blue Star manage this?!

"We’re almost there, our destination is on the mountain. It is an important base for our organization," Shi Yunxi, who accepted the task of guiding, introduced.

Upon hearing this, Matissa lifted her head and saw the buildings shrouded in clouds and mist.

Pavilions, towers, eaves and arches displayed an architectural style completely different from their Sword Flower City. Matissa didn’t understand the intricacies, but the beauty of art was universal, and she was struck by its delicacy and elegance.

Blue Star, indeed, was a world of elegance.

"I’m looking forward to it," she said.

"Tonight’s banquet will please you, we Dong Huang are known as a land of gourmet delights~" Compared to Matissa, Shi Yunxi’s enthusiasm was not the slightest bit lower, "We owe it to your blessing that today we can dine with our mentor."

Anna nodded vigorously in agreement, "Such luck." Compared to task points, this was completely insignificant; she would be willing even if it cost her.

Hearing these words, Matissa was slightly taken aback, "Is dining with your mentor a rare opportunity?"

She made a comparison in her mind.

For herself, the chances of dining with the dean were indeed slim, but if it was with the vice-dean or the heads of teaching departments, there were quite a few opportunities.

Gradually, an image of a reclusive mentor began to form in Matissa’s mind.

She contemplated how to approach such a person to make an impression, how many wins Sword Flower City could secure in this cooperation would depend on tonight’s dinner... the dinner party.

As for the meal itself? Of course, that wasn’t important.

However, since it was called a dinner party, she would still eat symbolically, just hoping the food of this world would be to her taste.

...

As the sun gradually dipped toward the west, its last rays draped a sheer veil over the buildings amidst the mist, making the restaurant before them look exceptionally exquisite.

The restaurant, originally part of the Shui Lan Resort, was already positioned as high-end. During several major constructions of the Shuize base, it had been redecorated, adding some mystical styles to the original architecture.

Green vines spread over the gray brick walls, interspersed with vibrant flowers forming a pattern of flames.

The restaurant’s entrance was dismantled and rebuilt, now reaching four meters high, tall enough for Ming Deng the Mage to enter comfortably, including various odd creatures.

The restaurant here was still small, ultimately limited by the scope of the base and the building itself, unable to expand too much.

The newly built hotel at the Pacific Ocean base took into account all future scenarios, aspiring to give guests the feeling of being at home.

Matissa indeed sensed the owner’s dedication to the restaurant.

The food of this world could be decent, she speculated.

But that thought was fleeting; what Matissa looked forward to and was most anxious about was still the meeting with the mentor.

She soon saw him.

A young figure in a white robe entered, different from the dignified old gentleman or the hermit she had imagined in her mind.

It was somewhat, no, very unexpected.

But when she met his eyes, as brilliant as stars, Matissa’s heart skipped a beat. She quickly lowered her head, then lifted it again, "Mentor, it’s... it’s a pleasure to meet you."

For some reason, she felt nervous.

It was like facing a high-ranking figure such as the dean.

Perhaps it was because she was facing a non-human of higher status than herself; or perhaps it was the mentor’s presence, once seen and never forgotten.

Matissa hated that her mind was buzzing, and she could barely recall the content she had prepared.

"Miss Matissa, please sit and try our Blue Star’s special cuisine," the mentor invited.

"Thank you for your hospitality," she replied.

She still remembered her manners, placing a hand on her chest and bowing slightly to express her gratitude.
