Chapter 1152: Chapter 831: Star Lord’s Banquet (Part 2)

A man chimed in, seeing the badge hanging on Shen Tang’s chest, and deliberately said loudly, "X-32 star? Such an ancient continent, right?"

"What ancient? It’s remote and backward."

"I’ve never even heard of this planet’s name, don’t know which backwater it is, it’s surprising such a person could sneak in."

Shen Tang was indifferent to the sneers and sarcasm around her, didn’t care, just found it noisy and annoying.

Shen Tang picked up a wine glass and conveniently spilled it, right on Zhang Fei’s face.

"Ah!" The red wine flowed down the woman’s exquisite mask, staining the luxurious gown.

"You! What are you doing? You dare to splash wine on me! Such audacity and rudeness!" Zhang Fei’s beautiful face instantly twisted in extreme anger, raising her hand to slap back.

But Shen Tang grabbed her wrist, pulling it back, and the slap landed solidly on Zhang Fei’s face, causing her to cry out in pain and fall to the ground.

"You wench, dare treat Fei’er like that, courting death!"

The men immediately became furious, wanting to avenge Fei’er.

Shen Tang didn’t move, but simply raised her eyes slightly to glance at them, releasing a powerful and overwhelming aura like a tidal wave.

The next moment, several men turned pale, as if carrying a thousand-pound weight on their shoulders, their legs gave way, and they collapsed directly to the ground.

"This, this... what’s going on?"

"Isn’t this female from a backwater place? How can she have such powerful strength?"

They, scared out of their wits, were at a loss for words, deeply fearful and incredulous.

Zhang Fei was dumbfounded. She was a top ten winner in the strategy system, awarded many Buffs and items, not necessarily losing against males, yet never had seen such a powerful female.

What system is this female bound to? Could it be a combat system!!!

The other guests at the banquet, hearing the commotion, also became restless, discussing animatedly.

Suddenly, the noise abruptly stopped.

Someone shouted excitedly, "The Star Lord has arrived!"

Shen Tang looked toward the source of the voice.

On the high platform, the lights dimmed, leaving only a beam of silvery-white light cascading from the dome.

Scarlet drapes slowly lifted, and a tall, imposing man walked out.

Everyone’s eyes landed on him excitedly.

The man stood in the center of the light, a silver mask covering half his face, revealing a sharply defined jaw and thin lips, with a perfect smile playing on them.

The mask was intricately and exquisitely carved, like a forbidden flower blossoming in the night.

Beneath the mask, his amber eyes were deep and enchanting, as though holding half a cup of starlight, yet concealing unfathomable undercurrents.

He held a glass of red wine, slowly walking around, his gaze sweeping across the room with a casual scrutiny, as if looking at a group of interesting prey.

His posture was upright, the fit of his suit exuded inherent nobility, yet the smile on his lips carried an inexplicable wickedness, elegant yet dangerous, like a leisurely graceful demon.

This contradictory aura interwoven made it hard for people to look away, yet inexplicably aroused a sense of primordial caution.

Even Shen Tang was slightly stunned, so this is the legendary Star Lord?

Zhang Fei was even more entranced, her eyes filled with fervor, murmuring, "The Star Lord is indeed handsome and noble, I wish he would choose me..."

The system, however, at the moment the man appeared, revealed an innate fear, trembling, [Host, he is the Main System...]

Shen Tang’s eyes suddenly sharpened, clutching the wine glass tightly.

The man gently raised his hand, the entire room instantly fell silent.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the ’Victors’ Celebration Banquet’."

His voice was deep and magnetic, like the sound of a cello string flowing through the air, with a mesmerizing quality.

"Everyone standing here is a victor in each of your mission worlds, you have faced life and death, crossed desperate situations, standing out among countless competitors—this honor deserves everything tonight offers."

He slightly turned his head, his amber eyes shimmering captivatingly under the light.

"Tonight, there are no rules, no constraints, just wine, music, and the rewards you deserve."

"Relax and enjoy this moment."

"The banquet begins."

Bang—

Colorful fireworks scattered from the dome.

Numerous gift boxes descended from the sky, in a multitude of colors, like a rainfall of hues.

The well-dressed guests instantly pounced like mad, scrambling to grab.

"This is mine, it’s mine!"

"Don’t grab from me!"

The guests fought fiercely for the boxes, some ripping clothes were ignored, the scene turning into a chaotic mess.

The boxes opened, revealing prizes more astonishing than the last—rare potions, high-level weapons, uncommon materials... someone even directly drew lifespan!

Many taskers were originally critically ill or on the brink of death, striving arduously to survive.

The moment lifespan was drawn, someone wept uncontrollably, almost fainting.

Those who received gifts were ecstatic, those who didn’t turned even crazier, the banquet hall turned chaotic like a battlefield, appearing both in disarray and laughable.

Shen Tang, speechless, twitched her mouth, taking advantage of the chaos to retreat and avoid getting involved.

The Star Lord sat on a high chair, legs crossed, supporting his face with one hand, smiling as he watched the spectacle, like observing an amusing farce.

His gaze unintentionally swept across a corner, pausing a moment on Shen Tang—

In this chaotic scene, only she was the calmest, without any intention of competing.

Quite interesting indeed.

He moved his slender fingertips slightly.

A black box, neither too far nor too close, flew into Shen Tang’s hands.

She was taken aback, looking around, thinking it was accidentally thrown amid the chaos.

She opened it casually, finding only a blank card, nothing else.

Zhang Fei, appearing at some point, half her hairdo loose, her clothes torn ragged, bearing no semblance of her previous beauty and elegance.

She laughed derisively, "Oh, just a blank card, such bad luck!"

"What kind of rubbish did you draw, planning to leave empty-handed?"

Shen Tang was also a bit bewildered, could her luck be this bad?

After the distribution of gift boxes concluded.

The Star Lord clapped his hands.

The noisy scene became quiet instantly.

He leisurely spoke, "The distribution of prizes ends here, hoping everyone drew a favorable grand prize."

He surveyed the room, a slight smile on his lips, "However, there is one more thing to tell everyone. Among these gifts, I set a grand prize, a hidden surprise of this event."

Everyone held their breath, extremely excited.

He said with a smile, "The prize is—you can make a wish to me."

The room instantaneously erupted, thrilled to the core.

The chance to make a wish to the Star Lord, that’s better than any assortment of gifts, nothing compares! It’s practically the top grand prize!

The crowd buzzed with speculation, wondering who the lucky one to draw the grand prize was.
