"Congratulations, everyone. You've been reborn. Cheers." The chief instructor stood up and picked up his specially made wine glass. It was filled with gray-green wine. His voice was loud and clear, resounding throughout the dining hall. It was very exciting.
The originally dead atmosphere suddenly became lively. Li Xiang felt a surge of emotion rushing to his chest. He was very excited. The maids behind them filled their wine glasses with the same kind of strong wine.
It was the first time he had seen gray-green wine.
Everyone stood up and respectfully raised their wine glasses. They shouted in unison, "To the chief instructor!"
"Cheers!" The chief instructor emptied his glass in one gulp as a sign of respect. Everyone followed suit and emptied their glasses in one gulp.
The taste of the wine was very thick, but it was not bitter. It had a light lemon taste. After entering the mouth, it immediately spread to the whole body. The cool air nourished the whole body, leaving a rich aftertaste.
All the tiredness in the body seemed to have been cleared. That feeling was very real. It was definitely not something that could be done by low-grade anesthetics or stimulants. Naturally, the chief instructor would not let them drink that kind of low-grade wine.
"The taste of the military wine is indeed extraordinary. Thanks to the chief instructor's good fortune, we are lucky to be able to drink this kind of special wine." A tall teenager standing at the end of the row opposite Li Xiang could not help but praise. Li Xiang looked at his identity card. He Yi from the Ugly Bull group.
This kind of trainee who was the only one who survived in the same group was either very strong or ruthless, using his companions as stepping stones. No matter what kind of person he was, he could not be ignored.
The others also looked at him. He hurriedly waved his hand in embarrassment and said with a smile, "Sorry, sorry. It was a slip of the tongue. Please punish me, chief instructor."
"It's okay, it's okay. Tonight is for one word — pleasure!" With a smile on his face, the chief instructor didn't seem to care about his words. He clapped his hands, and the maids standing on both sides of the table immediately came to the table with iron plates in their hands. "Eat and drink well. We'll talk about it later."
"Yes!" Everyone answered loudly and sat down again.
Li Xiang was indeed a little tired from the second phase of training in the wilderness, but he felt refreshed after drinking a glass of the military wine. Now that he saw plate after plate of delicious food on the table, his appetite was greatly increased. He was curious about what the dinner would be.
With the Chief Instructor's tolerance, he probably wouldn't give them ordinary food, right?
Sure enough, his guess was right.
After these iron plates were uncovered, the food looked very strange. However, they were all very delicious. One could not help but drool at the sight of it.
"These are all food that is beneficial to your magic circuit. They are mainly deep-sea creatures, underground creatures, and sky creatures. It's usually very difficult to eat them." The chief instructor was the first to reach out and unceremoniously tore off a golden thigh from a huge creature. Then, he began to chew on it.
Li Xiang had read in a book that as his three skills and his body grew stronger, ordinary ingredients would slowly become unable to satisfy his huge appetite. In order to maintain his stamina and spirit at all times, he had to start eating ingredients with higher energy.
These were the three types of giant creatures that were currently being kept in captivity by humans!
Compared to the rampant and powerful calamities outside, humans were indeed not strong. After thousands of years of fighting, if it were not for the flesh and blood of their ancestors, perhaps the Seven Continents would no longer exist. Now, they still relied on the Great Wall of Calamity left behind by them, as well as batches of fearless players and Night Watchers.
However, the other humans who prospered and developed in the Seven Continents gradually became the true rulers of this world. All creatures had no choice but to submit to them.
These giant creatures were the same as humans. They had survived the destruction of the Blue Planet and the invasion of calamities. They were much stronger than ordinary creatures, but they still had to submit in front of the Magicians and players.
Humans kept them in special livestock farms. The ferocious ones were used as practice enemies, the delicious ones were used as food, and the docile ones were used as mounts.
In the Seven Continents, strength was everything.
Even so, the giant creatures that were kept in captivity were still not something that ordinary people could eat. They were sold at extremely high prices. Only the cafeterias in universities would often serve them.
And the ingredients that could be served on the Chief Instructor's banquet table were not ordinary giant creatures.
The culinary skills were also very good. After processing, these ingredients were incomparably delicious. Li Xiang immediately gorged himself. Ming Xu, who was sitting next to him, had already picked up his knife and fork. In the end, he simply used his hands and mouth, which made the Chief Instructor laugh.
Priest Cantrey led a few religious trainees to pray before starting to eat. Li Xiang noticed that He Yi was also one of the believers.
Regarding religion, Li Xiang rarely read about it in books. The knowledge he knew was considered ancient history here. Of course, he would not be stupid enough to expose it.
The current religion seemed to be completely different from the previous one. He was sure of this.
Traveling through the wastelands really did consume a lot of energy. However, due to the issue of face, the young boys and girls from the aristocratic families pretended to interact with each other and eat in small bites. It wasn't until they saw Ming Xu and Li Xiang run over to the Chief Instructor's plate to eat that they finally realized the sense of crisis.
These two big eaters would probably finish everything!
Those people could no longer hold back. Baimiya muttered a curse and began to gorge herself without caring about her image. These were all rare delicacies. They did not know much about them, but she, as the eldest daughter of the Bai family, knew very well.
What kind of status did Chief Instructor Polar Night have? He was one of the top figures in the military headquarters' Eagle Faction, so one could imagine the quality of the food he provided.
In fact, they all had personal maids behind them. Generally, if they wanted to eat or drink, as long as they mentioned it, the maids would immediately prepare it. However, Li Xiang and Ming Xu disliked them for being too slow and directly served themselves.
The two maids were top-notch maids who had seen many big shots, but this was the first time they saw such a young boy and girl. They were amused by them and could only continue to refill their drinks.
Ming Xu stopped drinking after taking a sip of the gray-green military wine. She turned to drink her favorite foam fruit juice. Her astonishing appetite scared the maid a little.
This group of young people should be quasi-magic apprentices. How could each of them have such an astonishing appetite? Especially this girl. Was her stomach a bottomless pit? From the moment she served the first dish, she did not pay attention to the others, including the Chief Instructor at the head of the table. She only cared about herself and did not show any signs of stopping until now.
The banquet lasted for nearly half an hour. Most of the trainees were satisfied with the food and began to have real conversations with their wine glasses. Chen Fan burped and chatted with a few trainees he did not know. He was an extrovert and was naturally familiar with others. His conversation skills were top-notch.
And to be able to sit here together, everyone was basically future companions. Of course, no one would reject him. On the contrary, with him around, they could eliminate a lot of awkwardness.
Among them, the other three people kept talking to Baimiya. It was clear that she was very charming. She was a descendant of the Bai family.
And the other girl from the Five Thrones …
Now, even the Chief Instructor did not know whether to laugh or cry. Li Xiang and Ming Xu were like prehistoric behemoths. Their mouths did not stop until now. The others were basically finished, but they seemed to have just started.
Everyone could accept Li Xiang's reason, but Ming Xu …
"It's a good thing to be able to eat. Cantrey, those old guys were also like hungry ghosts in the past, right?" The Chief Instructor laughed. "Come come come, maids, give them more food. Eat until they are satisfied. Don't let people feel that they can't eat their fill here."
The maids responded and went to prepare. Their expressions were a little strange. The two people who could eat so much were indeed very eye-catching. Soon, a new batch of maids once again brought in a large pile of hot ingredients.
Chen Fan greedily ate a few more mouthfuls. He was shocked to find that his stomach was full. With a bitter face, he drank a few big mouthfuls of wine before reluctantly swallowing.
"Eat less. The flesh of these giant creatures will make you feel very full. Usually, you won't be able to eat later if you don't have an appetite," Ji Yanqing reminded him softly. Then, she glanced at Ming Xu with a complicated expression.
The girl was expressionless. Her mouth was greasy from eating. Li Xiang would help her wipe it with a tissue after seeing it. His movements were very practiced, as if the two of them had lived like this for countless years.
Although this was just a small action, it made the other trainees feel terrified. The tacit cooperation between the two could be seen from this small action. If they were like this when eating, what more when they were wholeheartedly engaged in battle?
This group was very strange, but at the same time, they were definitely very strong.
The two of them ate another round under the watchful eyes of the crowd. Only then did they burp contentedly and drink the after-meal black tea.
In fact, Li Xiang felt that he was only seventy percent full. He should be able to eat more. However, seeing that Ming Xu was already full, he was embarrassed to ask for more.
If it was in the past, he definitely wouldn't have such a big appetite. Of course, it wouldn't be a big problem if he didn't eat. But today, he had replenished his previous deficit.
With this replenishment, he probably wouldn't be able to ignore the problem of replenishing his food supply in the future.
Only when he was full could he exert 100% of his strength. Although he could still fight without a full meal …
Seeing that they had finished eating, the maids immediately cleaned up the table. Soon, the group of maids left one by one. The maid who was originally standing behind each of them took a step forward and placed a huge black box in front of them.
"Then everyone, after eating and drinking, we should talk about business." The chief instructor stopped smiling and rested his chin on his hands. "There are many things in this black box. Before opening it, I hope that you can introduce yourselves. It's okay, there's no need to hide or worry. In the Polar night, there's no distinction between you and me. Just like how I casually revealed Li Xiang's secret."
Li Xiang's face turned awkward. How casual.
If the chief instructor didn't mention it, no one would have remembered that he was also a member of the Bai Family. The fact that the Bai Family's blood was surnamed Li was intriguing enough.
