Compared to the free entrance outside, entering the inner court required an invitation letter.
“Two,” he said to the few guards at the entrance. Then, he had them scan the code at the end of the mail and entered the inner court.
This place wasn’t like a traditional conference banquet. Instead, it was more like a party. There were versions of bee models in different shapes. There were exquisite bee desserts placed everywhere, there was even a small-scale beehive playground for the parents who brought their kids along.
At the entrance, there was a waiter who gave each guest bee accessories, hair clips, wings, and all kinds of stickers.
Lin Xuan was completely dumbfounded after entering. As far as his eyes could see, most of the people who entered were wearing casual clothes. A family of three and a family of four was going out. It was completely unlike the honey tasting conference that he had imagined. Instead, it was a parent-child gathering.
Looking at his slightly formal attire, he felt left out. It was really f*cking ridiculous.
“Hello, ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to the honey tasting conference. On my left is the beehive playground, and on my right is the honey spirit food buffet. There are all kinds of snacks and desserts on the stage. Before the honors ceremony starts, please feel free to enjoy them!”
A host walked onto the stage. His short announcement made all the children present cheer.
Seeing dozens of devilish children enter the park and play happily caused Lin Xuan’s face to be filled with confusion. What the h*ll was this?
“This is new. Last time, a big shot brought his child to participate. Because the entire process was very boring, the child wanted to leave. Then, the big shot had to leave as well. In order to prevent such a thing from happening again, they took counter measures!”
Lin Zhenyue leaned over to Lin Xuan’s side and explained the situation.
To a small guild, every big shot was an extremely important network opportunity. Moreover, if the honey-tasting conference was made into a child-free zone, it would not be very attractive to a possibly beneficial person with a child at home.
For some pure ability users, the theme was not important. What was important was the spiritual honey.
The core product had not changed, but the selling point of the honey tasting event had become more enticing. It would attract more people to participate.
“Alright!” Although it was a little odd, in general, he came to participate in the honey tasting conference. Adults only looked at the benefits, not the process.
A few of them seemed to have recognized the Lin sisters and came over to greet them. Some even smiled at Lin Xuan and Luo Yan in a friendly manner, “There are some recognizable people here. Although their strength is only at the mystic rank, they have quite a lot of business achievements. Occasionally, they will return to Imperial Capital’s first school to give lectures to the students of the business class.”
Lin Zhenxing had seen them in her grandfather’s office. Those who were invited to give lectures must be successful people with great achievements.
After over half an hour, there was still no one that approached them. Lin Xuan threw a glance at the three girls, he then said angrily, “What’s the use of you all? You’re making me look like a useless hero.”
“… What?”
“Ladies and gentlemen, the award ceremony will shortly begin. Let’s invite Mister Linxuan, Mister Tongcheng, and Miss Benqin to accept the award. Let’s invite our president, Master Yanglong to award them.”
Master Yanglong was a god-level figure in the beekeeping world. He had cultivated the bandit bees in the beekeeping world and shot to fame. Not only did he make a lot of money, he was also invited by the Presbyters Council of Taixia Country to serve two academies to share his knowledge on beekeeping, he became one of the scholars in Taixia Country.
“Thank you very much for coming to the honey tasting conference. Thank you for your support. The Beekeeper’s Union will definitely produce more and better honey for you all in the future.
“I would like to thank the three of you for protecting my members when they were in danger. On my behalf, I would like to award all of you with the beekeeper level three assistance medal as a token of my gratitude.
“The rights and benefits will be sent through email. I would like to thank all of you once again for your contributions.”
A level three medal was pinned on Lin Xuan’s chest. It caught the attention of many people.
“The honors ceremony has ended. The spiritual honey trade fair will now begin!”
When he returned to the venue, Lin Xuan’s face was dark. He felt that ever since he entered the venue, everything had not gone smoothly. It seemed that he was unrecognizable and didn’t receive the fame he thought he would get. He wanted to just leave as soon as possible.
The three women covered their mouths and laughed as they pulled Lin Xuan back. They tried to persuade Lin Xuan not to leave.
There were quite a lot of things at the fair, but the most precious thing was undoubtedly the three sets of four-colored golden honey blocks. It could be said that many people present had come for this.
“How much do I need?”
“One set will be more than enough for you!”
Lin Xuan nodded his head. The appearance of the rare item was indeed something he had not expected. The money he earned from killing the wild monsters was definitely not enough. However, it was not as if Lin Xuan did not have a trump card, with the self-cultivation of his sub-class, Bee Farmer, he could definitely buy a portion of it.
“The first portion of the four gold honey will be set up for auction. Please bid your numbers here!”
Lin Xuan knew very well that in this kind of auction where there were many precious items, the first item sold would be the most value for money.
“I’ll ask… he agreed.”
Under the guidance of the host, Lin Xuan came to a small room at the side. There was only a middle-aged man in it.
“Hello.”
“Hello, let’s not go through formalities. This is my offer, what do you think?”
The man was stunned, then he picked up the card on the table. A sub-occupation certificate-self-cultivation of a bee farmer? There was actually such a thing?
“Deal, and this card of yours is very precious. I’ll make up for the difference in price!”
“There’s no need…”
“Don’t worry, I have a Lucky Conscience card. I have more than enough money so I won’t need it. I just want to be friends!”
Soon, Lin Xuan returned to the three women’s side with one set of four-colored golden honey blocks with a complicated expression.
“Do you three know the person that has a Lucky Conscience?”
“Yeah.”
“He is a lucky person. All kinds of high-level cards can be easily taken out of the trash treasure chest. When he goes out and picks up a treasure, he will always receive something fruitful. The scariest thing is that he can receive lucky items even when he’s asleep.”
“He once asked my Grandpa for a time watch. It will help him be invincible for three minutes and undamageable. In addition, he spent a lot of money to get my Grandpa to equip him with an extremely powerful escape skill. He is also known as the man who gets away with anything.”
