Capítulo 1704: Chapter 541: Carnival_3
However, it’s evident from Novlin’s expression that she feels a bit tense and seems somewhat lacking in confidence.
Of course, Su Ming knows very well that this outfit is probably her best one.
“Lord Su Ming, sorry to keep you waiting. My friend has opened a restaurant nearby; let’s go there to eat and chat.”
Novlin is well aware that Su Ming cannot get used to certain dishes, so she’s prepared to treat him to something nice.
“Sure!”
Su Ming didn’t refuse, knowing this was Novlin’s sincerity.
“This way!”
Novlin immediately led Su Ming away.
…
Moments later, they left the club and arrived at a nearby small restaurant named Little Ye.
The restaurant’s area is quite small, only about sixty square meters, with rectangular dining tables arranged like those in a little street-side shop.
“Sister Nuo, what brings you here?”
At this moment, a plump landlady with a mole at the corner of her mouth walked out from the kitchen, speaking in surprise.
“Eva, I brought a friend over for a meal.”
Novlin explained with a smile to Eva.
Upon hearing Novlin’s words, Eva felt even more incredulous, knowing how frugal Novlin is. Today she actually invited a friend for a meal.
She couldn’t help but take a few more looks at Su Ming.
Though Su Ming was wearing a hood that obscured his features, she could tell he seemed quite handsome, so she smiled and asked.
“Alright, what would you like to eat?”
“One plate of stir-fried meat, one plate of bone-in meat…”
Novlin started ordering dishes directly.
“No problem, I’ll bring them to you right away.”
Eva smiled and headed back to the kitchen.
Su Ming and Novlin chose a table at the back to sit down.
“The conditions here are limited, hope you can understand.”
Novlin explained to Su Ming.
“It’s alright, it’s quite good.”
Su Ming replied with a smile.
“Hmm, Lord Su Ming, is there something you need from me?”
Novlin responded somewhat nervously.
Su Ming turned his head and glanced around. Seeing that there were no other guests in the restaurant, he lowered his voice and said.
“Here’s the situation: the Dark Star Empire has launched an expedition against the Federation. I thought that for your Holy Army, this is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Would you consider collaborating with the Federation and taking this chance to attack the Dark Star Empire?”
“Hmm, we have thought about that too, it is indeed a great opportunity. But even though the Dark Star Empire has poured out its entire force, their lair still has plenty of defensive weapons, so we don’t dare act recklessly. Moreover, this is a significant matter, not something I can decide, it’s up to Legion Commander Jikol to make the decision.”
Novlin explained to Su Ming after hearing his words.
“Understood, could you help introduce me to Legion Commander Jikol?”
Su Ming nodded and asked.
“Our Legion Commander is not in the Land of Lost.”
Novlin explained to Su Ming.
“Such bad timing.”
Su Ming replied with a headache.
“However, it doesn’t matter. The day after tomorrow is the Lost City’s Carnival. A grand tournament will be held in Lost City, and the winner can receive a brand-new Fake V Generation Mecha! Our Holy Army will participate in the tournament then, and Legion Commander Jikol will also return that day to join the celebration. Afterward, we will hold a comprehensive meeting about whether to launch an attack on the Dark Star Empire. I will take you to attend it then.”
Novlin said to Su Ming.
“Alright.”
Su Ming nodded in response.
Just then, Eva the landlady brought the dishes over and set them on the table.
“Su Ming, the food is here, go ahead and eat.”
Novlin picked up a pair of chopsticks, wiped them on her arm, and handed them to Su Ming.
“Uh, okay.”
Su Ming took the chopsticks and began eating.
“Mr. Su Ming, if you don’t have any plans recently, you can watch me do group training at the club and watch my match the day after tomorrow.”
Novlin said to Su Ming.
“You’re going to compete too?”
Su Ming asked somewhat surprised.
“Yes, the Fake V Generation Mecha is extremely precious, and even money can’t buy one, so I signed up too.”
Novlin told Su Ming.
“Great, I’ll cheer for you then.”
Su Ming replied with a smile.
“Thank you.”
Novlin replied very happily.
At this point, Su Ming suddenly noticed that Novlin hadn’t touched her chopsticks to eat and asked.
“Why aren’t you eating?”
“I’ve eaten. You should eat more!”
Novlin said with a smile.
“Okay!”
Su Ming replied with a smile.
He certainly didn’t believe Novlin’s words; it was obvious she was being frugal and leaving the dishes for him.
However, Su Ming didn’t expose her but cooperated with a reply.
…
Over an hour later.
Su Ming and Novlin left the restaurant and headed to the club.
As soon as they entered the club, they encountered a burly man wearing Third Generation Exoskeleton Armor, standing at 2.6 meters tall, full of muscles, with several scars on his face, leading a group of subordinates walking over.
“Yo, isn’t this Novlin?”
“Anton Lu.”
Novlin replied calmly.
“I heard you also registered your team for the match the day after tomorrow?”
“Yes.”
“Haha, I’m competing in that match too. Let me give you a piece of advice: your subordinates won’t make it, just give it up and stop wasting your efforts.”
Anton Lu said confidently.
“Just doing my best is enough.”
Novlin replied without any expression.
“Alright, I’m just saying it for your sake, don’t end up losing the repair fees!”
Anton Lu laughed and left with his subordinates.
At this moment, Su Ming heard Anton Lu’s subordinates fawning over him.
“Boss, there’s no need to persuade her, let her do whatever she wants!”
“Haha, we’re all from the same legion anyway. But this time, I’m going to be serious and show off in front of the Legion Commander. Maybe the Commander will pass the position to me.”
