What kind of invitation?

What does it mean?

Pera didn't even consider the possibility of anything ambiguous.

However, she didn't seem overly surprised by Chu Ze's refusal to reply.

"I see... Is your reason for refusing because of your status as an illegal immigrant?"

"?"

Looking at Chu Ze's stunned expression.

Pera's lips curled up slightly, seemingly pleased with her intelligence analysis:

"Judging from your age, you must be a martial arts prodigy, possessing formidable combat power at only around twenty years old."

"But my drone did not match your identity information in the resident data of the upper-level area."

"Based on these conditions, it's not difficult to deduce your identity—"

"You are a martial arts prodigy from the lower district who smuggled yourself into the upper district. The reason you are unwilling to join the army is that you are afraid of being exposed and convicted of smuggling."

The girl slightly raised her round chin, a hint of a smile appearing on her chubby little face:

"My analysis should be correct, right?"

You're completely wrong!

It's not that they're going in opposite directions, it's more accurate to say they're completely unrelated!

Chu Ze looked at Pera's slightly smug expression with a speechless expression, really wondering where this child got her confidence from.

Seeing his exasperated expression, Pera thought Chu Ze had been hit where it hurt and didn't know how to react.

"Don't worry, I won't pursue the charge of smuggling you."

The girl regained her serious expression:

"If you join the Silvermane Iron Guard, I have a way to change your identity information to that of an Upper District resident."

"After all, the Silvermane Iron Guard urgently needs the addition of strong individuals, and you are exactly the talent we need."

Looking at the girl's confident and resolute promise.

Chu Ze chuckled and shook his head:

“Your information is completely wrong. I am not some illegal immigrant from the lower levels.”

"Besides, I don't plan to join the Silvermane Iron Guard, so there's no need to waste my breath."

Pera ignored the first sentence.

After all, the whole world is just Belleburg, where are there any residents who live in neither the upper nor the lower districts?

She wanted to try again.

But sensing Chu Ze's overwhelmingly clear rejection, she could only sigh helplessly in the end:

"Okay, it seems you're one of those people who misunderstand the Iron Guards."

"It's not your fault. It's just that the Great Guardian... never mind, it's nothing."

Clearly, she also had some differing opinions regarding the decision to seal off the lower levels.

But Chu Ze didn't care about any of that, so he just focused on eating, savoring the unique snacks from different worlds.

By the time Pella recovered from her melancholy...

The plate in front of them had been emptied, and even the drinks had been finished.

"So fast!"

Pera stared in disbelief at the tall stack of plates beside Chu Ze:

"Did you finish eating it all?"

Chu Ze said approvingly:

"Mmm, very fresh, very delicious."

"...As long as you're satisfied."

After a slight pause, Pera realized what was happening and started ordering from the menu again.

Chu Ze was not an upper-class resident, so after helping to arrest the wanted criminal, he certainly could not be publicly commended or have a reward offered.

So tonight's treat and ignoring his illegal border crossing are considered as thanks for helping to capture Sambo.

......

......

The next batch of food hasn't been served yet.

With the topic of inviting him to join the Silvermane Iron Guard gone, the two sat facing each other and suddenly fell into a brief silence.

Pera suddenly didn't know what to say to Chu Ze, this stranger.

Fortunately, Chu Ze took the initiative to break the silence:

"Miss Pera, do you enjoy reading 'Snow Country Adventure'?"

"???"

Suddenly the topic of banned books came up.

Pera was startled and quickly straightened her posture:

"I don't like it... No, I've never read such a forbidden book before!"

Why would you suddenly say that?

Chu Ze pointed to another table of guests not far away who were secretly talking:

"Because they're talking about Snow Country, and you've already glanced at them three times."

Pera: "............"

How could they even see through a sneaky glance?

This guy's perception is a bit too exaggerated!

"Shh, Mr. Chu Ze, please be careful what you say. This kind of book is a banned book."

Pera quickly clarified the relationship:

"I only occasionally read ordinary novels, which have nothing to do with banned books, so please don't make unfounded speculations."

Hmm, then it seems there must be a connection.

Chu Ze knew perfectly well what was going on, but he didn't say anything.

He simply pulled out a promotional brochure for "The Legend of the Emperor's Bow and Ascension to Immortality" and placed it in front of Pera:

"Since you're interested in novels, how about appreciating the culture and art of different regions?"

Pera adjusted her glasses and looked at the beautifully printed brochure.

She is indeed very interested in reading, but that depends on the occasion.

How could I possibly reveal my true personality in front of strangers?

However, out of politeness, she accepted the book and opened it, intending to respond with composure:

"Since it's recommended by Mr. Chu Ze, then I'll take a look."

"However, I'm very discerning. The cultural style of the lower districts might be different from my preferred areas..."

Chapter 89 An Invitation from Ruan Mei? The Succubus Star Core Essence is Still Exerting Its Power!

"What exquisite visuals!"

"What a grand worldview!"

"Is this...is this really a novel from the lower strata?"

Their attitude changed instantly.

Pera stared intently at the booklet in her hand.

A book like this, brimming with passion and a spirit of rebellion, would definitely be a banned book if placed in the upper section.

However, judging solely from the style of the synopsis and the vast world-building, this story is in no way inferior to Snow Country Adventure.

Even the promotional images are so exquisite, it's as if the drawing techniques are on a completely different level!

"Chu Ze, if you have the chance, please be sure to bring me one."

"I'll offer three times... no, name your price!"

Pera no longer cared about hiding it.

For avid novel readers, this book is exactly what she likes.

Knowing that Chu Ze was from the lower district, and that they might never have the chance to meet again, she decisively took out her wallet, intending to offer a sufficient amount of Winter City Shields as a deposit.

Chu Ze did not accept the Winter City Shields, but instead took out another brochure:

"If you're so interested, how about taking a look at another book, 'Cloud Riders Battle the Sky'?"

"Gulu..."

The equally exquisite cover, along with the composition that uses the mysterious universe as a backdrop, once again caught Pera's eye.

Although reason told her she couldn't keep watching, because the more she watched, the more anticipation she would have.

But her small hand, encased in a black silk glove, still inevitably reached towards the brochure...

......

......

And so, the two of them started talking non-stop.

Chu Ze enthusiastically showcased the bestselling novel from Luofu Immortal Boat and exchanged ideas with Pera regarding the plot.

In his past life, he was confined to a hospital ward, where he mostly read and played video games.

In the later stages of his illness, he couldn't even play games. He could only listen to and read novels every day, soaring in a world of fantasy.

As a result, he has developed a unique understanding of story novels and can communicate with Pera, a seasoned enthusiast, without any barriers.

Pera completely abandoned her initial recruitment goals and devoted herself wholeheartedly to the discussion with him.

"...My vow is as vast as the clouds obscuring the sky, protecting the celestial vessel. I will fulfill this vow until the last day of my life!"

"As soon as the words fell, the hunting arrows of light arrived on the battlefield! The Emperor's Bow Master watched over them, and the seemingly slender figure finally defeated his nemesis, protecting the peace of the region!"

Chu Ze finished speaking.

Pera couldn't help but clench his fists:

"A happy ending, great!"

"However, the protagonist of the previous work, Arashi, also appears in the new work, and with such a high status."

"Whether you're a fan of nostalgia or a stickler for historical accuracy, you'll feel the joy of being a fan of both genres. The author's skill is truly impressive."

Of course it's amazing.

After all, it's based on a true story.

Chu Ze handed the brochure to Pera, without revealing the truth to her yet.

If you knew that these thrilling and fantastical stories were based on real events experienced within the Alliance, you would understand that in the vast universe, there truly are celestial ships that blot out the sky, star gods who can cast their gaze upon you, and messengers capable of moving mountains and filling seas...

Pera is probably going to have trouble sleeping.

"Phew, thank you, Chu Ze, for sharing so many stories I've never heard before."

Pera's little face was flushed, a reaction caused by excessive excitement:

"I thought the creative environment in the upper-level area was the pinnacle, but it turns out I was the real frog in the well."
