The lady looked at Jiang Kehan, who was half a head shorter than her, and subconsciously swallowed, her face slightly flushed. She took out a small gift she had prepared and gave it to Jiang Kehan.
What a beautiful witch.
"This is your gift, thank you for your blessing."
This kind of gift is considered a tip, and you can accept it, but you need to reciprocate. This is where Jiang Kehan's newly learned Sweet Memories came in handy.
She placed her hand on her hip and made a pulling motion, revealing an exquisite revolver in her hand. She handed it to the other person as she accepted the gift.
"This is my return gift, thank you very much."
Bu Yuxuan played with the small toy in her hand. She could tell at a glance that it was not a magic staff, but its appearance was very exquisite, showing that a lot of thought had been put into it.
She nodded meaningfully to Jiang Kehan, then turned and left.
"It seems Miss Jiang did a good job. I should give you a little performance in front of Gu Lingfeng. Maybe I can get her to give you a raise."
Taking advantage of the fact that there were no customers, Wu Yuhan joked. (Two) Ling Si Wine 7 Four
"Maybe I'd also like to receive a cool revolver as a small gift, but what should I give you?"
Jiang Kehan knew this was a reward for her good performance, and she thought for a moment about what she needed.
As expected of the character designs I copied from an online game in my past life, the gameplay is hard to describe, but the art style is still commendable!
This is a reward she earned through her own abilities, so why not take it? But what could be of lower value and more suitable for me?
Oh, right, alchemy!
Her eyes lit up slightly as she suppressed her excitement and spoke.
"Hmm, maybe I need some magic crystals?"
Magic crystals are a relatively common alchemy material, but witches without an A1 Witch Certificate have a limited monthly purchase quota, and there is an item in the Alchemist's Law that requires a relatively large amount of magic crystals.
"A virtuous witch." Wu Yuhan looked at Jiang Kehan, who was very sensible, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
She gestured for Qiao Wen to take the revolver Jiang Kehan gave her, and a bag of magic crystals suddenly appeared in Jiang Kehan's hand.
The sheer number of them made Jiang Kehan's eyes widen slightly.
All I really wanted was a third of this bag...
Chapter 40 I'm here to do only three things
"You know, the witch who asked me for a little gift last time just used a level 3 spell and left me stranded. So, you're a sheep now. There's no need to refuse this little thing."
It was clear that Jiang Kehan wanted to take out most of the magic crystal and return it to him, but Wu Yuhan stopped her in the first place, and Qiao Wen also smiled and pressed down on Jiang Kehan's hand, telling her to keep it safe.
Ah, is this what the gap between the rich and the poor looks like?
A level 3 spell costs hundreds of witch gold coins or more; it can't be described as a small gift at all.
Jiang Kehan swallowed the refusals from Jiu Lin Lu Lu Qi Er VIII and got a preliminary understanding of the other party's financial resources.
She's a rich woman!
"Thank you." She didn't say anything like "I will work harder," which was actually a bit ambiguous.
Does your ability to work harder mean you were slacking off just now?!
Jiang Kehan still remembers the surprise she felt when she heard these words from her former boss. At that moment, she could only marvel at the profoundness of language.
How can you find fault with polite words? Have some decency.
Although she later slapped her boss and resigned decisively, that lousy company is doomed.
She went there to support her family, not to be manipulated.
However, Jiang Kehan did not think that the other party would be like that dog of a leader. It was just that the other party could see her performance clearly, so there was no need for excessive modesty.
After Jiang Kehan checked the list in her memory and thanked everyone, the lights in the hall gradually dimmed, and in their place were the candlesticks she lit herself on the long table full of food.
The cat-eared girls and succubi, these alien servants, began to leave in an orderly fashion, but the little catballs could continue to stay here.
Meowballs are special; there are no Meowball Witches, but they are practically synonymous with witches. Where there are Meowballs, there will definitely be witches.
The witches treated the catballs much better than the alien races; they treated them like friends.
But why hasn't Li Hui arrived yet?
Jiang Kehan looked left and right in confusion, confirming that she really couldn't find the other person.
Wu Yuhan didn't wait for the last guest. She stood up and walked to the innermost part of the room, with Qiao Wen following closely behind her. Jiang Kehan, on the other hand, could find a place to sit anywhere and wasn't needed for the time being.
Light from an unknown source shone on Wu Yuhan, making her the absolute focus of the banquet. She glanced around, and after all the guests looked at her, she gave a somewhat eerie smile.
It's clear she doesn't smile often, and when she does, it's devoid of emotion, with a strangely mechanical quality.
"It is an honor to invite you all to my banquet. On behalf of the Witch Organization, I would like to express my gratitude to you all. Cheers!"
Qiao Wen handed her a wine glass filled with crimson liquid, and the other witches raised their glasses and cheered together.
"Praise the Queen, praise the Greatness, praise the Empire!"
They raised their glasses forcefully, letting the wine spill out. The glistening liquid reflected the different witches' expressions in the air—some solemn, some slightly mocking, and others as if watching a play.
In the candlelight, all was calm, except for the flickering light in the eyes of each witch.
"I don't want to waste time with unnecessary words. I'm here for only three things."
Wu Yuhan's tone was cold, and with an unquestionable air, she scanned her "guests" again before speaking calmly, slowly, and threateningly.
"First, I hope everyone can cooperate with us to maintain order here."
The other witches held their breath, knowing this was just an appetizer, and they were also curious about the other two things the other witch was talking about.
"Secondly, I hope to reorganize the local witch organization. Anyone here who is interested in joining us is welcome to participate in the assessment."
Jiang Kehan put down her wine glass, her lips twitching slightly, and the other witches couldn't help but gasp.
This is like dropping an atomic bomb directly onto a calm lake.
To put it simply, the largest spell merchants, material merchants, and weapon merchants in the terminal are all from the Witch Organization. It controls almost 97% of the spells among witches. As long as you have contribution points, there is nothing you can't buy, even meeting the Great One.
To gain contribution points to the Witch Organization, one must first be a Grand Witch, and then a member of the Witch Organization itself.
Even a dog could take off if it went inside, let alone a witch.
All the witches' expressions turned serious; they had never seen anything like this before.
Wu Yuhan raised his eyes and said the last thing with a hint of annoyance in his voice.
"Finally, I hope you are all ready. The next provincial witch duel tournament will be held here. We have three years to prepare. Are you ready?"
Bang! It sounded like someone had been hit on the head by a meteorite. Every single one of the other witches present gaped wide enough to fit a duck egg.
No wonder they're trying to reorganize the Witch Organization. The provincial witch duel tournament is basically dominated by powerful witches. For Pingjiang City, it's questionable whether they can even avoid being crushed by this opportunity.
It's important to know that a Great Witch can basically create a complete ecological planet with her bare hands, and the value she brings is immeasurable. The Great Witches who participate in the Witch Duel Tournament are among the best.
Most importantly, the great witches all have their own territories and officials in the other world, and if they are not careful, a large number of ambitious witches will be taken away by the other side.
Not to mention the stagnation of development, losing a large number of promising witches means that Pingjiang City will be unable to hold its head high for decades.
If the gentlemen present hadn't already established their own bases, they might have followed the Great Witch and left.
The three events were more shocking than the last, and while the gentlemen were still deep in thought, Wu Yuhan walked down and spoke with a hint of mockery.
"Now that I have finished speaking, everyone, please enjoy this banquet."
No, we just want to know more inside information. The gentlemen looked at each other helplessly, knowing that they couldn't get any more information out of each other today.
The next step is to see who bleeds the most money and gets to know the inside story first.
They should be grateful for even this little bit of information that slipped through their fingers.
Jiang Kehan didn't pay much attention to these news reports. They were all too distant for her to notice, so she decided to enjoy the banquet instead.
She grabbed a carefree little kitten from the table. While the other witches were deep in thought, it had secretly drunk itself into unconsciousness and was now a toy that Jiang Kehan could manipulate at will.
Therefore, Meowball must protect itself when it's out there. The consequence of being greedy for alcohol is that it will become the velvet ball of the evil witch!
The other witches recovered quickly as well. It has to be said that witches generally have a "live for today" attitude. After guessing that there would be no other gains today, they shrugged and walked to the long table full of food.
It was clear that the food in Gulinfang was really delicious. Jiang Kehan's lips twitched as the food on the long table disappeared at a visible speed.
The little cat-like creatures carrying plates were practically smoking, but they still couldn't satisfy the witches' demands.
"Meow!"
Translation: You big liar! We're too busy to sneak a bite, you need to pay more!
They silently shed tears of deception, transforming into bloodless and tearless transport robots.
The witch temporary workers recruited by Gulinfang have just arrived to relieve the pressure on the catballs.
Chapter 41 The Lonely Stranger at the Ball
It would be quite exaggerated for witches to eat freely. Their digestive system can be called an assimilation system. Food that enters their stomachs will be assimilated into their bodies. What witches call being hungry is actually weakness caused by over-consuming themselves and resulting in autophagy.
Therefore, witches only need to eat and drink, and do not need to defecate.
Furthermore, a witch's growth is virtually limitless, and the amount she can assimilate and accumulate is a true bottomless pit. It is said that there was a great witch who gained power by devouring everything, and when she was extremely hungry, she would even bite herself, which would make even dogs shake their heads.
There have also been cases of witches being stranded in extreme environments and surviving by eating dirt. It is said that in just ten days, the dirt they ate could be piled up into a small mountain.
Under normal circumstances, witches don't waste time eating and drinking. For them, the strength gained from eating and drinking is negligible. Once they've satisfied their appetites, they'll move on to the next state.
After a satisfying meal, it's time to get creative.
Don't be fooled by the fact that witches all look dignified and elegant; their ability to cause trouble and court death is top-notch. Every year, quite a few witches die unexpectedly in the Imaginary Land because of their whimsical ideas. Then, looking at their witch accounts that have been forcibly resurrected and deducted to negative numbers, they raise an eyebrow, smile slightly, give the middle finger, and continue to court death.
Money is okay, but life is not!
How can you improve if you don't do anything? How can you become stronger if you don't court disaster?
It could kill me, which shows that this thing has great potential. How can I suppress my desire to improve?
This is also why witch technology is particularly advanced in some aspects, but it is full of whimsical ideas and exudes an unreliable aura.
Even in solemn settings like banquets, witches have their own unique ways of causing trouble.
Jiang Kehan stared in disbelief at the two witches who had been chatting in their respective circles just a moment ago. After exchanging glances, they smiled knowingly.
Their friends, however, remained oblivious and continued their conversation. The two witches then tucked their staffs into their belts like swords and suddenly slashed at each other.
"Eat your rice! I am the strongest swordsman!"
