《fall into darkness》Chapter 33: Banquet
Advertisement
Du Di'an was taken to a luxurious office.
There was a sturdy old man sitting inside. When the elegant man pushed the door in, a pretty young girl was sitting on the old man's lap, holding a burgundy glass in her hand, filled with dark red wine, enjoying Life.
"Pete, can't you learn to knock on the door?" The good thing was disturbed, the old man patted the girl's buttocks, motioned her to leave, and turned to say with a stern face.
The elegant man smiled and said, "You don't know how to lock the door every time."
The old man glanced at him angrily, noticed Du Dian who was following behind him, raised his eyebrows and said, "Is this the group of scavengers you picked, and how did you bring them here?"
Pete smiled and said, "This is the seed talent in this batch of students. His contract needs to be revised. Don't worry, it's all within the permitted scope."
"Oh?" The old man looked at Du Dian with interest, and said: "You did a good job this time, you can actually attract the top of this group of scavengers and train them well, our consortium may be able to make more in the future. A hunter."
Pete smiled and said to Du Di'an: "You can sit down first, and the new contract will be delivered soon." After speaking, he said to the old man: "The badge and uniform, take it out."
The old man smiled, opened the drawer below, and took out a stack of black standard soft armor.
Du Dian sat on the sofa next to him and saw this uniform, and he couldn't help thinking of the people who took him to the special training ground three years ago. The uniforms they wore were exactly the same as this one.
"This is your scavenger medal and uniform." Pete handed the clothes and medal to Du Dian, with two different medals on it, and said: "This is the guard medal, you only need to show this medal when you meet civilians. , this is your disguised identity in the future, if you meet a noble or a knight, you can show the scavenger medal."
Du Di'an looked at the two medals, the guards were silver medals, engraved with crossed swords. The scavenger medal is black, engraved with the outline of the giant wall of Silvia, which is somewhat similar to the pattern on the banknote.
"You are the seed cultivation object of our Mellon consortium." Pete sat down beside Du Dian and said: "After each scavenging, the consortium will give you Bright Spring Water, which is an extremely expensive potion purchased from the Holy See of Light. Purify the radiation value in your body, so you don't have to worry about radiation problems in scavenging. When your accumulated points reach a certain level, the consortium will give you a chance to enter the Hunter School for training. At that time, as long as you can persevere , you can become a hunter!"

Du Dian's eyes flashed, he didn't expect that in addition to the innate "bright physique" mentioned by the hunter named Fino, there is such a way to become a hunter. Sure enough, the opportunity is for those who are prepared, if not for him I knew for a long time that I was doing special training for scavengers, and I would go to the dangerous giant wall to perform tasks in the future, so I would not train myself so hard, and naturally I would not have such excellent results.
"I will work hard." Du Dian took the medal and uniform and said seriously.
"I believe you can do it," Pete encouraged.
Du Di'an asked: "Compared with the identity of the hunter, who is higher and who is lower?"
Pete said with a smile: "It depends on what level of hunter you are, and what level of aristocrat you are, and some poor nobles, if you see an excellent scavenger like you, you will politely flatter you. After all, scavengers can bring wealth to nobles, and it can be said that scavengers are their favorite workers. However, in the eyes of some ancient nobles with strong financial resources, scavengers are nothing, only hunters can satisfy their appetite ."
Du Di'an's eyes moved and said: "There are still levels of hunters?"
"Of course there is, but you won't know until later, so you must do your best and don't let down the cultivation of the consortium." Pete encouraged: "The benefits of being a hunter are far more than you think, not only can Obtaining the qualification to live in the permanent business district, and also being a nobleman, if the accumulated merits are high enough, you will be sealed!"
Du Dian nodded slightly. Although he knew that Pete was throwing bait for himself, he was still a little moved. However, what he cared about in his heart was not the permanent residence qualification of the business district, nor the titled nobles. In his opinion, these are just The appearance of vanity created by the ruler of this world, he is really moved by the privileges and power of hunters!
Since he nearly died in the hunter inspection castle three years ago, he has clearly realized that only by gaining strength can he control his own destiny and no longer be dominated and trampled on!
Live as humble as an ant, and will eventually be trampled to death by the inadvertent footsteps of a big man!
By then, self-pity and self-pity will only appear more pathetic!

"By the way, your group of scavengers will perform the first scavenger task in seven days." Pete smiled: "You have to behave well, this time the above will pay attention to your results, specific action content and location. The range, I will let you know when the time comes. Before that, my suggestion is that you better wash yourself immediately and change into clean clothes. I will pick you up at night. Nobles hate dirty and messy, remember to comb your hair neatly ."
Du Dian nodded slightly, "I will pay attention."
At this moment, the door opened, and the pretty girl from before walked in, handing a contract to Pete.
Pete looked at it and handed it to Du Dian: "Look at it, sign it if there is no problem."
Du Dian looked at it from beginning to end again. The revisions he proposed earlier have been changed, and he immediately took the quill handed by Pete and quickly signed his name.
"It's done." Pete put away the contract of the consortium and said to Du Di'an: "The contract must be kept well, oh, by the way, remember to wear your medal at night, this is your status symbol, if not necessary, it is best Don't leave your body."
"I will."
"Now, you can meet other people outside, and someone will take you to a temporary residence."
Du Dian nodded, turned to leave, and pulled the door behind him after going out.
When he returned to the hall, the three of Macon and the others had already received their respective uniforms and medals, which were no different from Du Di'an. When Du Di'an came over, the previous beautiful woman said, "Everyone, come with me, Take you to a place to stay."
...
...
Du Di'an and others were arranged in an ancient castle under the name of the Mellon consortium. The environment was comfortable and clean, with domestic servants and gardeners serving. However, there are only three days for them to stay here. After three days, except for Du Di'an, everyone else has to return to their residential area. When the task is performed, a carriage of the consortium will bring them to the assembly location.
"Dian, can't you really take us there?"
"Dean, you can't be as obsessed with friends as Macon."
Macon and Zach looked at the neatly dressed Du Dian, knowing that he was about to go to a noble party, and wailed.
Du Di'an tidied up the cuffs, looked sideways in the mirror, felt quite satisfied, and said to the wailing Macon, "Help me get my boots."
Macon howled: "Bullying too much!!" After roaring, he turned around and handed Du Dian's black boots to him.
Du Di'an was neatly dressed, and when he saw the carriage coming from the castle from the window, he immediately waved to the three of Macon and said, "I'm going." He went downstairs and left the castle, pinning the medal on his shoulders.
"Not bad, it looks handsome when you dress up." Pete lifted the curtain and said with a smile.
Du Dian smiled slightly and stepped into the carriage.
It didn't take long for the carriage to come to a secluded place in the business district. There is a huge ancient castle. There is a high parapet outside the manor, and a row of lanterns hangs. More than a dozen exquisite noble carriages parked outside the manor. There are domestic servants to look after.
When Du Di'an and Pate arrived, the banquet had already begun, and there was melodious music wafting out of the manor.
Pete smiled, "It seems that we are a little late, let's go in, remember to be careful with your words and deeds."
Du Dian nodded.
After showing his identity and invitation card, Pete brought Du Di'an into the manor, and followed the path to the banquet hall. A special housekeeper helped them open the door. The golden light came to the face, and the faint sound of music inside. , also floated out, quiet and tactful.
"It's "Moonlight Beauty" by Master Haydn!" Pete's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly rushed in.
Just as Du Di'an was about to follow, a tall figure suddenly passed in front of him, almost on the other side, and when he looked up, it was a middle-aged nobleman dressed in delicate silk and wearing emerald fingers.
"Boy, don't you have eyes?" The middle-aged noble glanced at Du Di'an, and when he saw the scavenger medal on Du Di'an's shoulder, he frowned, "Who let you in?"

Black Wind, White Lotus
In this world, there are haves and have nots. The former are pureblooded humans, some of whom are capable of manipulating qi, the mysterious energy that flows through every living creature, to miraculous results that defy the laws of nature and physics. Wen Feili was one such cultivator. However, she allied with the have nots- the anthropomorphic hybrids incapable of channeling qi-and dabbled in forbidden demonic arts, seeking to change the very composition of reality. This did not end well for her, and she was consumed by her own flames. A decade later, far in the northwestern mountains, her daughter Wen Fengli is working as a lowly servant of the minor Shuangshan sect. In between sweeping the floor and avoiding bullies, she secretly trains with a wooden sword, hoping to become a warrior cultivator at some point in the future. However, since she's part-human, part-wolf, it's just a pipe dream. ....or so she bitterly thought. However, one day a mysterious amulet that belonged to her mother falls into her hands. A deranged old master, a terrible conspiracy, a mysterious past? None of that matters to tomboyish wolfgirl, who only seeks to become stronger. She embarks on a journey of adventure and self-discovery, towards the mysterious southern lands where pure demi-humans are said to live...as spectre of war once again envelops the world of man. This is a Chinese-themed fantasy story set in a fictional world. You can classify it as xianxia, if you wish, but it's a rather low fantasy variant; the heavenly realm is silent, no one reached immortality in generations, and magical artifacts of old are locked away and feared. Magical beasts and spirits have been driven to the corners of civilisation, and "ordinary" abilities such as flying or controlling swords through telekinesis are considered spectacular feats. The main plot of this book revolves around a kemonomimi girl who seeks power, no matter the cost. This story also features multiple character pov, and will not always follow the perspective of the mc- there are two major plotlines, one connected to conspiracy and war ongoing in the political background of the presented world, and the other focusing on the main character's physical and metaphorical journey.

No destiny, no choice, no hope. Our protagonist, a coward summoned to a world meant for heroes; a new world with new rules and old cruelties. Join him on his adventures as he must deal with menus, monsters, and mysteries in this litrpg fantasy. Thomas Goodwill was an average boy with an average life, all that changed when he woke up in a new reality. Now, out of his depth, damn near out of his mind, he must learn to survive in a game-like reality with no reloads, checkpoints, or save scumming. He does, however, have a drunk snake. Thank you for reading my first story, hopefully, the first of many to come. This will be my main story and is meant to help me practice and hone my skills as I slowly produce more complex ideas. It's a litrpg in which I want to only lightly focus on the mechanics as I don’t want to pad out the word count with math and number tables and while I want to add a few of my own twists here and there, overall I’m going to keep this story close to generic as possible so that I don't let my inexperience lead me into a corner. Thanks again to all willing to leave a review or some constructive criticism, without you I'd never improve. Unfortunately, Cover art is by me.
8 554Breaking Horizons: Book 1: Snared Origins
Many want to learn things from a story, while others only want fast-paced wonders. We are human and we like to dream, we are alive and we want to feel. Don’t wander outside before knowing the inside. Even if this is slow, it gives you the reader, things to behold. This is a story but also knowledge. It isn’t fast or entertaining but makes you wonder. Everything starts from something unknown, we all want to know the untold. However, can you persevere if something starts being boring? Shouldn’t entertainment start from something unexciting? Open a door to what you might know or not. Learn to dream in my unhealthy abode. Start from the garbage since that’s the place where I belong. Welcome to Raccoon’s abode. Breaking Horizons: Breaching the Fourth Dimension. A slow story that will take you on a ride towards the unknown. PS: Will make things clear here. The actual main character is a human, the raccoon is a pet for the novel. So it isn't a raccoon Isekai or reincarnation as a raccoon. I still haven't added it to the story, as I am currently doing the intro. A long intro! So the start might feel off when you read it. The story will include many genres but starts with psychological stuff and low fantasy. The whole story is an enormous puzzle, but it starts with a tiresome beginning for many. There is a reason for that... If you want to know more about this story check my discord: https://discord.gg/rZs6mem You can ask what you want to know there. Or join a bigger and cooler server where many authors hang out: https://discord.gg/2hbvq8B (Its dungeon engineer and many cool stories' server) This is my own story, so its for me only. I will not have a schedule. I left it on hiatus for a while, can't write two stories, too busy.
