Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 46 An Encounter

That afternoon, Yang Wu received the first three levels of the "World Destruction" manual from the Limitless House.

Although Yang Wu had already obtained this manual in the simulator, this was the first time he had seen it in real life.

Therefore, Yang Wu quickly devoted himself to cultivation.

Ten days passed quickly, and September 11th arrived, the day Yang Wu and Wang Zijin had agreed to travel together to the Kyoto base city.

It takes quite a while to get to Kyoto base city by train, so you should leave a day in advance.

That morning, right after breakfast, Yang Wu received a call from Wang Zijin.

After declining the other party's offer to pick him up, Yang Wu took a taxi to the train station.

As soon as he got out of the car, Yang Wu saw Wang Zijin, who was already waiting there, as well as Liu Dehui, the "One-Armed Gun Demon" whom he had met once before.

"Yang Wu, over here!" Wang Zijin called out loudly.

Yang Wu quickly went over and greeted them in return, "Brother Wang, Senior Liu!"

Upon seeing this, Liu Dehui simply nodded slightly without saying a word.

A few days ago, Wang Zijin found him and told him that Yang Wu had become a warrior at the general level.

Liu Dehui completely disbelieved this!

If Yang Wu said he was now a high-level warrior, that would be somewhat plausible. But if reaching the Warrior General level was really that easy, then what did all his decades of effort amount to?

It's nothing more than the other party joining the Phantom Squad to embellish their own image.

Of course, even though he didn't believe Yang Wu possessed the strength of a general, Liu Dehui could only give him a cold shoulder at most.

Soon, the three showed their identification and boarded the fastest train, leaving Jiangnan Base City.

Nowadays, trains like these that cross two base cities require a lot of resources for protective measures, and ordinary people simply don't have the opportunity to ride them.

Of course, martial artists still have privileges!

All you need to do is show your martial arts card; you don't need to buy a train ticket to board the train and go wherever you want.

Although Wang Zijin is not a martial artist yet, he has an identity certificate from within the HR Alliance, so taking this train is quite simple for him.

The train was not traveling very fast, and it didn't arrive at the Kyoto base city until around 6 p.m. that day.

"Dear passengers, the train is about to arrive at the station. Passengers disembarking at Kyoto Base City Main Station, please take your carry-on luggage and prepare to exit through the front door!"

As the train announcer's voice came on, the train slowly came to a stop, and Yang Wu and his two companions got their luggage and stepped off the train.

"Uncle Liu, Yang Wu, it's getting late. Let's find a place to rest and go celebrate the birthday tomorrow!" Wang Zijin said.

Yang Wu and the other man had no objections and both nodded.

So, Wang Zijin took the two of them directly by taxi to the "Will Palace" entertainment center, which is quite famous in Kyoto base city.

This entertainment complex is considered quite high-end, and the prices are not low, but given Yang Wu and his two companions' wealth, none of them cared about that.

Silent all night.

……

The next morning, after breakfast, the three of them took a car directly to the Wang family's headquarters in Kyoto.

The three arrived at the parking lot by car, only to find it filled with luxury cars and even several small fighter jets.

"The Wang family's power is indeed impressive!" Yang Wu thought to himself, looking at the several fighter jets parked in the field.

Owners of flying fighter jets are generally at least War God-level powerhouses, and even ordinary War God-level powerhouses cannot afford them.

"Yang Wu, what are you thinking about? Are you looking at those fighter jets?"

Wang Zijin, standing to the side, said with a smile, "I believe that one day, Yang Wu, you too will have your own fighter jet!"

Yang Wu smiled but didn't reply.

"Let's go in!" Wang Zijin said with a smile.

After verifying Wang Zijin's identity, Yang Wu and his two companions were quickly led to the banquet hall by a waiter.

The banquet hall's main entrance is entirely gold, over three meters tall, and adorned with exquisite carvings.

Two attendants stood on either side of the gate; they were actually high-level warriors.

Upon seeing Yang Wu and his two companions approach, two attendants bowed slightly and said, "Distinguished guests, please come in." With that, they pushed open the heavy door.

Upon witnessing this scene, Wang Zijin, who was here on behalf of his father for the first time, was slightly startled.

Two high-level warriors would be the strongest under his command, but here they are just two gatekeepers!

The main gate slowly opened, revealing a spacious interior with dozens of round tables laden with delicious food.

Pleasant music flowed through every corner of the hall, and a group of handsome male and beautiful female waiters continued to serve various wines and food.

Yang Wu and his two companions followed the waiter to a secluded corner.

"Mr. Wang, these are your seats. Please do not move around after the banquet begins!" the waiter carefully reminded him.

"I understand!" Wang Zijin nodded slightly.

This place is where all the elite members of the Wang family have gathered. Wang Zijin is just a member of a collateral branch of the Wang family. He only barely qualified to come here because of his father, so of course he wouldn't wander around aimlessly.

The banquet was rather boring. After the head of the Wang family gave a long speech thanking everyone for attending his birthday banquet, everyone began to enjoy the food.

Actually, eating was just an excuse; chatting was the real purpose!

The members of the Wang family present were all people of considerable status in their respective base cities. Some were government officials, some were big businessmen, and some were powerful martial artists.

They rarely get together, as everyone has their own things to do, and many of them are preoccupied with their own thoughts at this moment.

Like Wang Zijin, some of them wanted to advance their careers, while others wanted to close a big business deal...

So, while enjoying their food, these people chatted with others nearby.

Yang Wu was feeling quite bored. Most of the people around them were businessmen like Wang Zijin, so it was impossible for them to have a conversation.

A short while later, Wang Xingping, the eldest son of the Wang family, representing the elders, offered a toast and walked over to Yang Wu and the others.

Given the rare opportunity, Wang Zijin naturally seized the chance to carefully express his thoughts.

With two warrior-level experts, Liu Dehui and Yang Wu, by his side, Wang Zijin was also a very shrewd and adaptable person.

So, after Wang Zijin downed three cups in a row, Wang Xingping readily agreed.

To be honest, given the limited resources of Wang Zijin's family, Wang Xingping, as the eldest son of the Wang family, had never even set his sights on them.

The matter was resolved easily, and Wang Zijin was overjoyed. After thanking Yang Wu and Liu Dehui, he began to network with others, just like everyone else.

Bored, Yang Wu began to observe the other people in the hall.

As expected of one of the nine core families of the HR Alliance, the Wang family had already met several well-known war god-level powerhouses at just this one banquet.

Just then, Yang Wu suddenly encountered an unexpected person in a rather central location!

This banquet wasn't originally part of the main storyline.

Can you guess who this person is? There was a hint earlier.
