Global Lords: I Have Information System

Chapter 528: Chapter 373: Thunder Spirit Enchantment Pearl, Preparations for the Luncheon

Just as the strategy module suggests, this is definitely a good item.

Unfortunately, Zong Shen does not have a weapon suitable for enchantment at the moment.

His current setup mainly includes Shield Sword Style, Dual Blade Style, and in the face of powerful enemies, he utilizes the [Broken Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword (Orange)] and [Broken Calamity Battle Lance (Orange)].

Although the latter are both Orange Legendary level weapons, they are all in a damaged state without exception.

Especially the Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword, its durability is running low.

When Zong Shen initially acquired it, its durability was only 150 points.

After being used for some time, the cracks on it have widened considerably.

Its durability has decreased to just 107 points.

This is despite Zong Shen carefully preserving it.

Given his previous intensity of combat, he dared not fully utilize it.

The other Broken Calamity Battle Lance’s durability is much better than the Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword.

It still had 380 points when Zong Shen took over, but the thing is too big.

It is not suitable for an ordinary human’s physique.

Just the spear shaft’s thickness is already arm-sized, making Zong Shen struggle to grip it.

Unless he can enter a Violent Bear frenzy state to enlarge his physique.

Otherwise, this thing isn’t really usable.

This gives Zong Shen a feeling of having brute strength yet unable to wield it.

This is one of the issues Zong Shen is currently facing.

He lacks a sufficiently powerful, high-durability, and handy weapon.

This [Thunder Spirit Enchantment Pearl (Purple)] can only be temporarily sealed away.

It must wait until Zong Shen obtains a suitable weapon to consider using it.

This can be considered a fortuitous gain.

Perhaps on the small mountain north of Bang City, some long-buried ruins may exist.

This isn’t impossible.

The whole continent’s history defies imagination.

If the current continent were to be called the New Era.

Then most of the ruins Zong Shen has encountered so far are remnants from the previous era.

One or two millennia may seem lengthy, yet for the entire continent, it’s like a blink.

This raises a question, what was the continent before the previous era like?

Were there stronger civilizations or races?

All of this requires Zong Shen’s exploration.

The legacy of the predecessors is the wealth of the successors.

Death can take away life, but it leaves inheritance.

After considering these deeply, Zong Shen stored away the [Thunder Spirit Enchantment Pearl].

The proprietor quickly brought the new beef pie.

After surveying the food and ensuring it was fine, Zong Shen started eating with peace of mind.

Under his call, everyone started eating and drinking as well.

The taste of the beef pie was ordinary, far from matching a castle chef’s skills.

But it had a unique flavor nonetheless.

Zong Shen was already prepared to skip lunch, so he used this meal to supplement his hunger level.

Ensuring his energy remained in a good state.

After the Newbie Stage ends, low hunger level affects one’s state and attributes.

This makes daily meals an indispensable routine.

This meal included thirty-one beef pies and more than a dozen other foods.

All of it cost less than 12 dinars.

For Zong Shen, this price was incredibly cheap.

Similar to half a month’s salary of a village maidservant.

This small shop’s prices were reasonable.

The real money pits were still those taverns.

Casually drinking a few cups of wine would consume tens of dinars.

After filling up, under the owner’s courteous send-off, Zong Shen and his team left the snack shop.

Pigsy, Black Panther, and those Andalusian Warhorses remained in place.

No one dared think about stealing them; these creatures were smart.

Whether it was Pigsy or Sentinel Black Panther, they themselves possessed some combat prowess.

The Andalusian Warhorse was especially a quality horse, possessing high wisdom, tenacity, and stubbornness.

This made those considering opportunistic theft helpless.

Since leaving the castle in the central district, they first wandered several streets.

Then had a snack.

Now it was past ten in the morning.

The range of Boss Bang City was no small feat, Evans’ manor was in another direction.

If departing now, the minimum travel would take more than half an hour.

The timing would be just right to arrive at Evans’ manor around 11.

Zong Shen was eager to confront Evans.

After all, there were two tasks in Evans’ manor simultaneously.

”Let’s head to Evans’ manor now.”

”In a bit, Wenresa and I will ride Pigsy in.”

”Others will split off with us a street early to avoid arousing suspicion.”

Zong Shen, riding on Pigsy’s back, turned to the Immortal Gun Cavalry and Luna.

Everyone nodded; their lances were polished.

After the final confirmation, Zong Shen led the team using the Guide Module’s navigation.

...

Meanwhile, in Evans’ manor.

The restaurant on the first floor was already tidied up neatly.

Several chefs, with hats on their heads, were busy in the spacious kitchen.

Strange, lively seafood was being retrieved from the frosted cold storage within the manor.

Delivered to the kitchen.

This seafood was all sourced from the continent’s Boundless East Sea.

A rare sight for any inland city, a delicacy indeed.

Mainly shellfish, arthropods, and mollusks made up the variety.

Similar in appearance to Earth’s seafood, but notably larger.

One type was akin to Earth’s Emperor Crab shell seafood.

A full half the size of a normal person, with ten robust crab legs.

Its shell was covered with rugged spikes.

It appeared to weigh at least forty to fifty pounds.

There were also palm-sized white scallops and foot-long East Sea lobsters.

These lobsters had a pair of huge claws, each as wide as three finger joints.

Last night at Baron Bezos’ castle, one dish was made with East Sea lobsters as the main ingredient.

The lobster claws were exceptionally delicious, and the body meat was also fantastic.

Beyond seafood, bulls and sheep, slaughtered and skinned roughly, were sent into the kitchen.

Common vegetables and poultry, along with other ingredients were present too.

It was clear Evans placed great importance on this lunch feast.

This rare seafood in Boss Bang were hard to acquire.

Even with money, it wasn’t that available due to the airships arriving every three months only.

Evans, wearing a proper dress, stood by the manor’s entrance with his confidant Isidore.

The manor gate where Zong Shen had met him last night was open now.

A rare occasion for Evans’ manor.

Many passing travelers and pedestrians stared curiously inside.

Evans was indifferent; he ordered underlings to lay a red carpet at the entrance.

To avoid it looking plain.

He also instructed them to sprinkle petals as embellishment.

Only in this way did it feel assuring to him.

He needed Zong Shen to feel valued.

In Evans’ view, Zong Shen was a big fish.

Little did he know, Zong Shen was not just a big fish, but a shark capable of swallowing him whole!

”Isidore, what time is it now?”

Everything arranged well, the ingredients delivered to the kitchen.

In no more than an hour, the feast would start.

According to indigenous people’s dining habits, they typically commence lunch from 11:30 am to noon.

Evans prepared accordingly.

Isidore retrieved a pocket watch from his front pocket.

Flipped the cover with his thumb, inspecting the current time.
