Seeing her, Fu Yifan excitedly pounced forward.

He looked as if he had seen his long-lost sister.

"Mingxi, let's have dinner together tonight. It's on me, hehe. I want to thank you properly."

If possible, he also wanted to discuss something else with Mingxi.

Although his D group was the safest, it was not easy for him to secure a spot in the top five of his group given his situation. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

After all, his age was a disadvantage.

Moreover, once they entered the group stage, the skill levels of the contestants were already quite similar.

So Fu Yifan was under considerable pressure.

He wouldn't naively assume that just because he luckily defeated Lin Yingluo, he was guaranteed a spot in the top five.

To truly secure his position, he still needed the help of a master.

Seeing his eyes darting around, Mingxi knew exactly what kind of trick he was up to.

"...Okay."

A rich bumpkin, it would be a waste not to fleece him.

Upon receiving the desired answer, Fu Yifan instantly resembled a primary school child who had found a hundred-star coins bill on the curb, clutching his mysteriously sneaky thoughts, and happily walked into the Charging and Healing Room to restore his Crimson Flame Tiger's condition.

He still had another match in the afternoon.

The Charging and Healing Room was specially arranged by Changheng Group for the contestants.

Inside, there was a Transcendent creature of the Angel System, Moon Splendor Night, capable of healing, and two Charging Bugs that could continuously replenish energy for a hundred Advanced Level pet beasts.

After a match, contestants would usually bring their pet beasts to the Charging and Healing Room to restore them to their optimal state.

Mingxi and Ling Ling's match was scheduled as the last one for Group C in the afternoon.

Because Golden Yuanbao's lightning-type skills were almost entirely immune to the opponent, their match was very drawn out.

Finally, Golden Yuanbao continuously used Wing Slash to defeat the opponent's Muxuya, but it also suffered serious injuries.

Fortunately, 4 points were successfully obtained, and Mingxi was temporarily tied for first place with Sheng Shiyan, Rui Qianwu, and Wen Yao.

At 5:30 PM.

Mingxi tidied up, preparing to go to Fu Yifan's dinner appointment.

"Xiao Xi!"

A familiar figure suddenly ran over from ahead.

Mingxi looked at the person in surprise.

"Sister Dingding, why are you here? Are you alone?"

The smiling girl in front of her was indeed Shao Dingding.

Shao Dingding explained why she was there.

"Didn't I mention it to you before? I want to develop in the direction of a Breeder."

"Coincidentally, my mom's university best friend here knows a very powerful S-Class Breeder, and she wanted to take me to meet them. We made an appointment for tonight.

If we both get along well, we'll try to find a way for me to become their disciple."

Mingxi thought to herself, it was a good thing she hadn't flattered herself into thinking Shao Dingding had come specifically to watch her match.

It turned out she was here to seek a master.

An S-Class Breeder was indeed a big name in the industry.

If Shao Dingding could truly become a disciple of such a master, her path as a Breeder should be much smoother.

"Of course, the most important reason is to watch your match!"

Mingxi: "..."

Alright then.

She hadn't flattered herself.

"Sister Dingding, where are you staying tonight? Do you want to stay with me?"

Shao Dingding was tempted but still refused.

She didn't want to disturb Mingxi, and even less did she want to affect Mingxi's performance in tomorrow's match because of herself.

"No need, Auntie Yang's house has a guest room, and she's already made all the arrangements. I'll stay at her place tonight, and it's also very close to the Workers' Stadium, which is convenient for me to come watch the match tomorrow."

"Don't worry, it's not the first time I've stayed at her house, it's very safe."

As if afraid she would worry, she finally added, "Auntie Yang is a single noble, living alone."

Hearing this, Mingxi indeed breathed a sigh of relief. She was indeed worried that Shao Dingding might encounter another unpleasant incident like Zhang Cheng.

For a girl to be too beautiful, sometimes it's a curse, not a blessing.

One misstep, and she could become an imperfect victim.

"Alright then, if anything happens, just call my personal terminal. Don't be afraid of bothering me."

"Got it."

Because Shao Dingding was still rushing to meet the Breeder, Mingxi didn't invite her to join Fu Yifan's appointment.

After saying goodbye, both went to their respective destinations.

Mingxi and Fu Yifan had arranged to meet at Sui He Restaurant on the upper floor of their temporary hotel.

When Mingxi arrived with Golden Yuanbao, Fu Yifan had already been waiting in the private room for a long time.

"Junior, hurry up, order whatever you want. This restaurant is a small side business my uncle dabbles in during his leisure time. Our family members don't have to pay to eat here, so please don't be polite with me."

Listen to that.

That's the tone of a young master from a wealthy family.

Even she, a proletarian transmigrator, had long admired the fame of Sui He Restaurant, a well-known top luxury restaurant in the country, where it was said that reservations had to be made a week in advance.

Without a membership card, one couldn't even make a reservation.

Yet, in his mouth, it became a "small side business."

Comparing people to people.

Buddha ascends.

Of course, Mingxi wouldn't be polite.

Being polite with a young master who says such irritating things? She wasn't crazy.

She slapped the menu.

To the sweet-faced pig-like server, dressed in an exquisite maid uniform and smiling specially, she said grandly, "This, this, this, and also this... I'll have one of everything!"

"Also, prepare two servings each of the cherry-flavored energy pills and the braised pork-flavored energy pills for me."

This restaurant mainly served Chinese cuisine and also provided various flavors of pet beast energy pills.

It was a rare opportunity; let Golden Yuanbao eat its fill too.

The Crimson Flame Tiger next to them was already showing off.

For Young Master Fu's order, the restaurant dared not delay even a bit. Soon, a ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) table full of delicious, fragrant, and visually appealing dishes was placed in front of Mingxi.

Golden Yuanbao's energy pills had also been prepared. Although they weren't customized specifically for its physique, they were suitable for lightning and Flight-type Transcendent creatures.

The flavors were also carefully modulated, and few pet beasts could resist them.

"Junior, let's eat first."

Mingxi nodded and began to devour the food frantically.

And indeed, there was a reason for the high price; the chef's skills at this restaurant were truly excellent.

Five-Star rating.

The table was a mess, and they were full from food and drink.

The sweet-faced pig-like server cleared away the dishes and thoughtfully brought digestive tea and after-meal fruit desserts.

"Ding-dong."

Mingxi's personal account suddenly received a transfer of 10,000 star coins.

She raised an eyebrow and looked across, "Your thank-you red packet?"

"Yes."

Fu Yifan nodded: "As we agreed before, I'd give you a red packet if you defeated Lin Yingluo. It's not much, Junior, please don't mind."

Knowing Mingxi's difficult family background, he wanted to give more, but he was afraid Mingxi wouldn't accept it if it was too much.

10,000 star coins was certainly not much for him, but as a red packet, it wasn't a small amount either. Junior Mingxi should be able to accept it, right?

Mingxi indeed did not refuse.

It wasn't because she needed money, though she did indeed need money.

It was because she could tell that Fu Yifan was using this as a bait; his invitation for dinner tonight was definitely not that simple.

"Tell me, what exactly do you want from me?"
