Chapter 1611 Today We Have Wine
"God of Wine" Yin Lan was certainly not there to enjoy the banquet.
From the moment she pushed open the door, although her eyes were drawn to the delicious food on the banquet table and her desires were stirred by the food...
However, her gaze lingered on the food and wine for less than half a second.
The remaining time...
Yin Lan's gaze was fixed on 'Fishing Man' Chen Le and Lin Yu, who was now appearing as 'Zhu Ming'.
This point...
Card can see it clearly, of course.
That's why he gave words that sounded like a hint or a warning.
However, Yin Lan and Ka do have a good relationship.
Moreover, Yin Lan is also reasonable.
and so……
Even after being "threatened" in a somewhat unfriendly manner, Yin Lan remained unperturbed, merely pursing her lips indifferently.
"Don't worry, of course I'm here to attend the 'banquet'—but what I want to say is, instead of reminding me to enjoy the banquet, I should worry about whether the other guests you've invited are truly going to enjoy it."
Ka looked at Yin Lan and said calmly, "This is none of 'God of Wine's' concern. I know that you people from the same world are suspicious of each other because of your different positions... but those I have invited as guests are all my friends, my guests, and people I trust."
"By the way... you just said that you didn't come alone, that you have other companions who are also attending the banquet, right?"
"What about them?"
As Ka spoke, Yin Lan waved her hand.
"They'll be a while, so let's not delay your banquet... Let's get started!"
As she spoke, Yin Lan skillfully walked to the place where she could get the tableware, took out a set of tableware and placed it on the tray, and then opened a floating tray.
Ka watched Yin Lan's natural movements, looked at her meaningfully for a while, and then spoke again.
"Ladies and gentlemen... I hereby declare the banquet officially open!"
As Ka's voice fell, the octopuses in the arena, who had been invited by him to accompany them and were also benefiting from Lin Yu and Chen Leguang, began to stir and savor the top-notch cuisine that was being prepared by Ka, who was currently the strongest member of the octopus group and also the strongest chef, personally leading the team.
Wow!
"Delicious!"
Praises of the food's exquisite flavor rang out throughout the restaurant, and since most of these octopuses were natural-born chefs and gourmets, many of them offered professional evaluations and sparked discussions after the initial amazement.
The hall quickly became lively.
Amidst the lively atmosphere, Lin Yu led Hannah and Chen Le to a nearby roasted poultry, cut juicy slices of meat from it and placed them on a plate, and talked in hushed tones.
"This 'Dionysus' of 'Order'... he's up to no good."
Chen Le said in a low voice.
Lin Yu glanced at Yin Lan, who was choosing drinks at the beverage section, and said in a low voice, "Do you even need to tell me? She's definitely here for us."
“Although I know you called her, the fact that she was the first one to arrive really puts a lot of pressure on me,” Chen Le said with a sigh. “I’m confident I could take down any other ‘third-tier’ opponent… but with her, I’m not so sure.”
"Moreover... although I know the Pure Ruins Realm very well, as you have seen—she is also very familiar with that 'Chosen One,' and even on good terms with him."
Lin Yu shrugged: "I'm not surprised at all. After all, it's perfectly reasonable for the 'Player' nicknamed 'God of Wine' and the 'Chosen One, God of Feasts, Wine and Revelry' to have a connection."
“She might even be the first person that god would consider among the ‘players’ when choosing a chosen one.”
As Lin Yu spoke, Chen Le nodded in deep agreement.
"Yes... I can only say that it's fortunate she was attracted by you."
"The one who's coming is 'Dionysus'... so he should be within your control, right?"
Lin Yu laughed: "Even if the person who comes is a 'Grandmaster,' it's still within my control."
As he spoke, Chen Le raised an eyebrow.
"Although I thought you were pretty arrogant, I didn't expect you to be this arrogant."
Lin Yu said, "No, what I mean is... individual strength is actually irrelevant; what's important is other abilities."
"The Grandmaster and the God of Wine are here because our plan exists, so they can be considered no threat..."
"But if it's 'gambler' Li Hua who comes, then it will be a bit tricky and troublesome."
Upon hearing this, Chen Le realized what was happening: "Oh... you mean, you're using a card to increase intelligence?"
"To be precise, it's about anti-fraud capabilities and the ability to sort things out in a chaotic situation," Lin Yu said calmly. "To me, no matter how strong their direct combat power is, as long as they are prone to losing their temper... at least in this operation, their combat power will be completely transformed into our assistance to help us achieve the situation we want to see."
As Lin Yu spoke, Chen Le engaged in some deep thought and subsequently came to a conclusion.
“Alright, then the plan will proceed as scheduled, and I'll do whatever you say—but just now, ‘Yin Lan’ mentioned that she brought other ‘friends,’ who should be other members of ‘Order’, right?”
"Among these people, there might be some strategists."
Lin Yu said, "I can be sure that the 'gambler' won't come. The 'Secretary' and the 'Professor' never personally go to the front line and risk their lives... And the 'Grandmaster' in Shenzhen also needs the support of think tank talents, so the 'Human Valley' in South China can't get away either."
"Although 'Order' is a very large organization, the number of people within it who can actually threaten our plan is extremely limited... We can eliminate them one by one."
"If we eliminate all the most threatening ones, even if the remaining ones have some intelligence... they may not be able to affect the overall situation."
Chen Le said in a low voice, "Then... what about the 'director'?"
"I can't come."
Lin Yu said with certainty.
"Really? As the one who provided this information to 'Order,' shouldn't he be on the front lines?" Chen Le asked curiously. "Although I know you trust 'The Director'... what if he really intends to side with 'Order' this time?"
Lin Yu didn't know how to explain it to the "Fishing Guy," so he could only helplessly make use of the long-standing misunderstanding within the "Freedom Alliance."
"Don't worry, he will always be on my side."
As Lin Yu spoke, Chen Le whistled.
"Okay, then I'm relieved."
Lin Yu began to doubt whether the 'fisherman' had genuinely wanted to ask—he had reason to suspect that Chen Le simply wanted to hear 'Zhu Ming' admit to it himself.
However, Chen Le quickly changed the subject.
"In short... dealing with one 'God of Wine' might be a bit troublesome for me. Considering that 'Order' will need reinforcements later, do you think I should 'fish' some people over to help?"
Lin Yu shook his head: "I think it's not necessary for now... The larger the team and the 'bigger' the target, the easier it is to get caught up in the chaos."
"If our plan goes smoothly and the overall situation in the Central Sea develops as planned, then it might actually be a good thing if we stick to acting only as the two of us."
As Lin Yu spoke, Chen Le nodded.
"That makes sense... So, shall we ignore 'Dionysus' for now?"
“I was thinking that we could really ignore it,” Lin Yu glanced back, took a bite of the tender roasted poultry, and felt the warm aroma of the meat fill his mouth. “This tastes really good, just like the first time I ate freshly roasted chicken from a deli when I was a child.”
As Lin Yu spoke, Chen Le followed his gaze and also took a bite of poultry.
"Hmm... We never ate roasted chicken from deli when we were kids, but this is really delicious—or rather, it would be strange if the chicken roasted by the God of Feasts himself wasn't delicious."
The two were talking about roasted poultry, but their eyes were both fixed on Yin Lan again.
This kind of deliciousness, which would normally be enough to cause brain damage and is said to be so good that "you wouldn't even know if someone died next to you," could not take away the two people's full consciousness.
because……
Yin Lan was only two meters away from where the two were now.
She didn't take any food, just a plate of nuts in her hand.
But on the tray, she had placed about sixteen wine glasses stacked like a small tower, filled with fine wine.
Yin Lan picked up one of the wine glasses and drank the wine in one gulp.
Throughout this process, she kept her eyes fixed on Chen Le and Lin Yu.
After staring at each other for fifteen seconds, Chen Le finally lost his temper.
"Hey—'Dionysus,' what exactly are you planning to do?"
"If you're going to fight, then stop dawdling... although I don't really recommend it, since fighting at a banquet will definitely get you stopped by that octopus chef over there."
“I don’t want to fight him, this ‘chosen one’, at his own banquet on his own turf.”
Yin Lan picked up her wine glass again and took a step forward.
“I know more about these things than you do, ‘fisherman’... I’m not that stupid.”
"I'm here now... genuinely to enjoy the banquet."
Then, Yin Lan gulped down the refreshing, bubbling liquor in her glass, making a satisfying "hissing" sound as a blush appeared on her face, but it quickly disappeared.
Chen Le frowned as he looked at Yin Lan.
"Stop pretending—you're here at this time because you're definitely here for me."
Yin Lan paused, neither denying nor accepting the statement.
"That's true."
"But... this doesn't conflict with my current desire to enjoy the banquet and fine wine, does it?"
"You said it yourself... that making a move at this banquet is definitely not a wise thing to do."
"And what's even more unwise for me is... missing out on the wine personally brewed by the god who holds the power over 'wine'!"
With a hint of intoxication in her eyes, she spoke in a half-smile.
"After the banquet ends... naturally, it will be time for us to fight to the death."
"But now—'Fisherman,' 'Chen Le'—come on, let's have a drink!"
