Chapter 110, Celebration in Arnus City (Part 2)
A giant natural diamond as big as a human head can still have some effects if used as a stepping stone.
——Although the price of diamonds in the modern earth jewelry market has dropped significantly after acquiring many treasures from other worlds through various coincidences, giant diamonds of this size are still priceless. Top gem.
Therefore, when the leader of the team, the female dark elf warrior Yao Hai Tixiu, showed off the extra-large natural diamond as a gift outside the checkpoint at the city gate, it immediately caused a commotion in the audience. The staff at the checkpoint, after being shocked, had to take photos and videos of the diamonds and report them back to each other. After asking for instructions and approval, the people at the city gate checkpoint solemnly informed Yao Hai Tixiu. : Although she did not have an invitation, the city hall still granted her special permission to enjoy the third-level guest treatment, allowing her to bring two entourages into the city for the banquet.
However, they only gave her a temporary pass, allowing her to enter the city to attend the birthday party. She was still ranked in a lower-level seat, sitting with the lowest nobles and ordinary out-of-town businessmen, which was lower than those Ordinary citizens who eat free water tables are slightly better off.
As for when Mayor Wang Meiling will be free to meet her, or even whether he will meet her at all, only God knows.
Even so, this is at least the first step towards successful negotiation... Yao Hai Tixiu couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. To be honest, she was under a lot of pressure just now when she showed the treasure in public. If someone had evil intentions and took risks on the spot, or if the gatekeeper was greedy and tried to embezzle diamonds, she and the compatriots behind her would probably end up miserable. Fortunately, the final result seemed to be pretty good.
So, Yao Hai Tixiu selected two of the most beautiful female dark elves from her team of envoys to follow her into the city as followers - generally speaking, no matter where and in what era, beautiful women* *** is one of the most common public relations tactics to find out information. Dark elf girls have always been known for their bold temperament in this regard. They never mind accompanying someone for a few times just for a little convenience or a few pocket money. Bed sheets…
In this way, the three dark elf beauties, together with a few wealthy businessmen who came in carriages with invitations, and their servants, got on the electric bus provided by the city hall and slowly drove into the city walls of Arnus City. . Along the way, everyone in the carriage widened their eyes and curiously looked at the mysterious scenery on the street that was boasted in rumors, as if the people on earth had come to a space city in the universe.
However, in some cases, time always passes very quickly, and the bus they take is not a sightseeing bus that takes guests around the city's attractions. Before they could even take a brief look at the entire "City of Miracles", the electric bus had already passed through the outer city area between the two city walls and arrived at the equally heavily guarded gate of the second city wall.
Then, because her rank was not high enough, only Miss Yao herself, as a guest, was allowed to enter the inner city to attend the banquet and watch the ceremony. The two dark elf beauties who followed her, as well as the servants of the nobles, were not qualified to enter the inner city and could only rest and wait at designated locations in the outer city.

As usual, Mayor Wang Meiling's birthday banquet and celebration started in the evening, and before noon, most of the guests had already arrived. Some of the guests who came early because of the long distance had even arrived. It's been several days since we arrived at Arnus Hill.
However, experienced celebration organizers will definitely not leave guests who have come all the way to bask in the sun on the road before the ceremony. Those guests with the most respected status, such as kings and powerful ministers from various countries, naturally have a variety of rich social activities and secret room talks, just like the funeral diplomacy that is still common on the modern earth (taking advantage of the opportunity to attend the funeral of a celebrity, and communicating with those attending the funeral Relevant dignitaries carry out diplomatic activities that are inconvenient to carry out at ordinary times) - Due to transportation and communication restrictions, it is difficult for dignitaries from various countries to get together frequently to discuss issues. Therefore, whenever there is an opportunity to meet, whether it is the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games or the funeral of a big shot, it will evolve into an informal multilateral summit
As for the second-tier lords, nobles or top wealthy businessmen, they are also divided into several circles based on region and family background. Taking advantage of this rare opportunity to have so many people gather together to discuss issues such as marriage, alliances, territory transactions, and bulk material transactions.
Of course, there are more low-status guests who are just here to watch the fun and eat, and are idlers with little social activities. The city hall also considerately arranged a guest lounge for them so that they would not be too bored waiting before the ceremony started.
——Although from the perspective of identity and mission, Yao Hai Tixiu, the representative of the dark elf mission, seems to be classified as the first category of VIPs. But due to the power she belongs to, the dark elf Tixiu clan in Schulz Forest is too weak, and even the organizer did not think of sending them an invitation.
Although relying on the national treasure diamond as a stepping stone, Miss Yao finally won the qualification to enter the city for the banquet, but she was still unceremoniously classified as the lowest class of guests, and was not qualified to compete with the kings and ministers of various countries. Participate in any diplomatic activities together.
However, Miss Yao was completely unaware of this problem, and was directly shocked by the luxurious ostentation of the people on earth.
"...Although I have long heard that the aliens on Mount Arnus are quite wealthy...but...this is too exaggerated."
Under the guidance of a rabbit-eared maid, mixed in with the other third-class guests who came to the banquet, Miss Yao, the envoy of the Dark Elf Tixiu clan, walked through the long corridor and passed through a heavy oak door. Looking at the guest lounge in front of him in astonishment, he couldn't help but be stunned.
——A dazzling crystal chandelier hangs on the tall and neat ceiling. The bright lights, together with the sunlight outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, reflect the bright red carpet on the floor. The gorgeous pale golden walls are painted with exquisite and elegant patterns, and there is a A series of colorful murals. All kinds of furniture in the room are also exquisitely crafted, richly decorated, and hollowly painted, giving off an aura of palace luxury that is both beautiful and opulent.
What shocked her even more was that in the center of the lounge, there was a long oval table. The tabletop was covered with a white linen tablecloth, and then there were layers of fruits, desserts and dishes placed on it, as well as A small sign: Lunch buffet, please take as much as you like, don’t waste it.

PS: Regarding my previous description of the inherent flaws of the Chinese language, I am not saying that Chinese is not suitable for informatization or anything like that. That has been proven to be absurd. In fact, for the Chinese themselves, using Chinese is difficult in terms of precision and conciseness. Has great advantages. But the problem is that in external communication, that is, letting foreigners learn Chinese is not as easy as learning English. Britain and France have been colonizing black Africa on a large scale for about a hundred years, but they have left so many English-speaking and French-speaking areas in Africa. Even ancient civilizations like India use English as their national language. The Koreans and Vietnamese have been using Chinese characters since they entered civilized society, and they have been working hard to promote it. However, they have never been able to popularize it. In the end, they turned to develop their own language. Therefore, it is really difficult to Chineseize foreign ethnic groups. Now that the country is promoting it with such great efforts, there are still many people in Kashgar who cannot speak Chinese. In other words, Chinese characters are used by ourselves, and it is difficult to pour them into foreigners’ heads. It is really difficult to export culture. Then, according to the latest U.S. survey, the top three worst jobs in the country are lumberjacks, milkers and soldiers. Well, it’s understandable that soldiers are not popular, but what’s going on with the last two, the lumberjack and the milker? Is it worse than picking tomatoes, washing dishes, and sweeping streets?
