Chapter 1067, The Scheme

Translator: Silavin

 

The dances these performers presented were truly a feast for the eyes.

 

Previously, Lu Fan had seen many television dramas depicting ancient Dragon Country dance performances.

 

Although the scriptwriters had done everything possible to make these dances appear as beautifully divine as possible, the effects had always fallen short of expectations.

 

No matter how graceful the dance performers were, one always felt something was missing something ineffable.

 

Lu Fan had originally thought that dance, at most, could only be appreciated visually, no matter how impressive.

 

However, watching these dancers take the stage one by one gave Lu Fan an entirely new understanding of what it meant to ‘dance’.

 

Their movements were not merely beautiful. They could create a dreamlike, intoxicating sensation that drew one in.

 

Lu Fan even discovered that while watching the dance, his Experience Points and Attributes were gradually increasing!

 

The Attribute Enhancement only persisted for a certain duration. The Effect was not permanently retained.

 

Nevertheless, the Effects of these dances were already remarkably impressive.

 

Such mesmerising dances, combined with these extraordinary Effects, made Lu Fan appreciate how comfortable life in Major Families truly was.

 

One could casually request these Players with Dance Specialised Professions to perform, sit motionless while gaining Experience Points. How amazing was this?.

 

Moreover, the food the Situ Family served consisted of High Grade ingredients that not only tasted exceptional but also provided permanent Attribute Enhancements.

 

This made Lu Fan realise that the Situ Family likely had quite a few individuals similar to his Auntie, they likely have Hidden Lifestyle Specialised Professions like Enchanted Cook.

 

Hidden Lifestyle Specialised Professions might indeed be extremely precious in the outside world, but within Supreme Tier Ancient Noble Families, they were not particularly remarkable.

 

In fact, Hidden Professions that required respectful treatment and patronage elsewhere considered it a blessing from their Ancestors to join a Supreme Tier Ancient Noble Family.

 

Supreme Tier Ancient Noble Families possessed vast resources and influence. Whatever precious Players with Hidden Professions they desired, there were definitely others falling over themselves to join.

 

Although from Lu Fan’s perspective, the Situ Family’s strength seemed ordinary, but in truth, that was only because Lu Fan’s own capabilities were so abnormally overwhelming.

 

In reality, the Situ Family’s overall might far exceeded Lu Fan’s imagination. Any item being used as banquet materials here would be jaw-droppingly extraordinary in the outside world.

 

Lu Fan gladly enjoyed himself, eating while watching the performances, genuinely experiencing what it felt like to be amongst the wealthy elite.

 

During this time, naturally people from the Situ Family and other Families came to toast.

 

Lu Fan reciprocated each toast, showing them appropriate respect.

 

Beyond toasting, these people’s primary purpose in approaching was naturally to cultivate closer relations with Lu Fan.

 

And their method of building rapport, besides toasting, naturally involved having Lu Fan and Ye Wuxian sign Dungeon Instance transfer contracts.

 

In truth, during the previous day, while Lu Fan and Ye Wuxian were resting comfortably at the Situ Family Residence, the others dared not sleep peacefully during such precious time.

 

They had immediately contacted their respective Families, selected Dungeon Instances from their Families to present to the Ye Family as a means to foster their relations. Furthermore, to demonstrate their sincerity before the Ye Family, almost every Family gave as many Dungeon Instances as possible.

 

Originally planning to give the Ye Family twenty Dungeon Instances? Why not directly give thirty instead!?

 

Originally planning thirty? Just give forty!

 

Moreover, they carefully selected their Dungeon Instances. After all, giving the Ye Family Dungeon Instances that did not yield much would be acceptable to the Ye Family, but rather embarrassing for themselves, would it not?

 

Lu Fan had said the Dungeon Instances need not yield much Rewards when Cleared. Even if they yielded nothing but Experience Points, it made no difference to him.

 

However, basically all the Dungeon Instance being gifted to the Ye Family were newly developed by these Ancient Noble Families, with relatively substantial resources still available to be ‘harvested’.

 

Lu Fan naturally accepted everything. After all, compared to old Dungeon Instances, new ones could provide Han Ke with more Ancient God Power.

 

His reason for wanting resource-depleted Dungeon Instances was simply that they offered better value.

 

If he asked someone for ten new Dungeon Instances, they might not agree.

 

But ten Dungeon Instances that had been farmed for years? Others would not think twice about it.

 

During the banquet, Lu Fan and Ye Wuxian signed contracts for one hundred and thirty-six Dungeon Instances in total. This was nearly equivalent to a third of the Ye Family’s original assets.

 

As the banquet continued, the Tie Family Player, who had been following along without revealing the slightest flaw, saw Lu Fan chatting casually with the Situ Family’s Situ Qianqian, believing his opportunity had arrived.

 

He stood, approached Ye Wuxian’s side, and produced a pre-prepared Dungeon Instance transfer contract, clearly to sign with Ye Wuxian.

 

Ye Wuxian had already become quite practised at this. After a brief exchange, she readily prepared to sign her name on the contract.

 

However, at this moment, the Tie Family Player’s Communication Stone suddenly rang.

 

After communicating briefly through the Communication Stone with the other party, the Tie Family Player immediately displayed an unusual expression, saying to Ye Wuxian: “Miss Ye, I’ve just received word that one of the Dungeon Instances seems to have encountered some issues.”

 

“Issues? What kind?” Ye Wuxian asked in surprise, not suspecting anything.

 

The Tie Family Player smiled awkwardly. “I can’t really explain it clearly. Why don’t you come with me to take a look? This Dungeon is at a High Level Area, which our Tie Family has just developed, with extremely abundant resources. We were originally planning to give it to the Ye Family for proper development. But, this Dungeon Instance seems to have some problems, making it inconvenient for your distinguished Family to develop.”

 

“I’m carrying the Transfer Stone for this Dungeon Instance with me. We can go take a quick look and immediately return. Please see it for yourself, whether you’d be willing to accept this Dungeon Instance. If you are, I’ll sign the contract with you. If not, we’ll allocate three other Dungeon Instances as compensation.”

 

Ye Wuxian considered this and felt looking would not hurt, so she said. “That’s fine. I’ll call Lu Fan and we’ll go together.”

 

“That won’t be necessary,” the Tie Family Player quickly interjected. “It’s just a quick look. We’ll be back in five minutes at most. Do we really need to trouble Young Master Lu? He is currently chatting with someone. Interrupting him is inconvenient at this time, is it not? ”

 

Ye Wuxian glanced at Lu Fan, who was speaking with Situ Qianqian, and nodded. “True.”

 

“Alright then, I’ll go take a quick look with you.”

 

“Great. Come, Miss Ye, please follow me.” The Tie Family Player rejoiced inwardly, immediately leading Ye Wuxian towards the side courtyard, a location devoid of people.
