Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor

Chapter 474 - 217 Champion Celebration Banquet

Lin Rui had just put away the golden Epic-level Soul Seal and hadn’t had time to inspect it when Little Roberta, the tavern owner, came up with servers bringing dish after dish.

"Lord, your dishes have arrived, including Templar Order roast meat, handmade shrimp pancakes, spicy shredded meat, roasted bacon cauliflower, and magical beast meat mint rolls, all fine-level dishes that can enhance your state or provide physical boosts."

Physical boosts can increase the life value limit or spiritual energy value limit of the citizens. The tavern also offers some gourmet dishes that can slightly enhance attribute values, such as one of the signature dishes, [Northern Bear Meat Banquet], and [Burning Sauce Baked Sub-dragon Meat], which can increase 1 point of physique value. However, they generally only work on units below Tier Three. For the few seated here, they almost have no effect.

But Little Roberta still took out a bottle of bright red Rare-level fine wine from a wooden box and said, "Lord, this is a Rare-level fine wine I received from an explorer team, called [Lost Elf’s Blood Tears Red Wine]. It’s said that its story originates from ancient times. In that mysterious and distant era, there was an elf maiden who was ostracized by her people for falling in love with a human knight. To escape racial discrimination and oppression, she chose to leave the elf realm, wandering to distant lands, eventually settling in a secluded and mysterious place. There, she began a new life and embarked on her journey of creating this legendary red wine."

"To express her deepest love and sorrowful memories of her past life, this pure elf used her own tears to brew this bottle of red wine. Each bottle is meticulously crafted from her tears, so the wine is also known as ’Blood Tears Red Wine.’ Legend has it that this wine’s taste is deep, rich, layered, and fruity, exuding an indescribable charm capable of enchanting any taster. Beautiful, poignant, precious, and imbued with the aura of history and time, this wine holds an unparalleled mysterious legendary quality. Due to the very limited amounts ever brewed, it is extremely precious and luxurious, only available to the very wealthy and those with the finest tastes."

"Each cup consumed grants a permanent +1 to charm value and a permanent +35% allure to pure maidens of the opposite sex."

"Allow me to present this Rare-level fine wine as a gift to my most esteemed and cherished Lord."

With a permanent +35% allure to pure maidens, Lin Rui glanced at the four women present, so wouldn’t it be ineffective for the other three women except for Lei?

No, for Yuyu, it should still be effective...right?

Although she already has my fortune aura in her body, she is still technically a pure maiden. Speaking of which, whether she is pure or not really depends on what she says. Reaching this stage, she still insists that she is a pure maiden, just goes to show that sometimes a girl’s purity can’t really be judged by appearances.

Audrey rolled her eyes, knowing full well that this wine was out of reach for her.

"Sister, this wine’s all yours."

Yuyu lazily combed her hair in front of her collarbone and said, "At most, it’ll just make work more pleasant for others to behold. I’m the one enjoying it, aren’t I?"

Lin Rui glanced at this woman, who was profiteering while still pretending to be modest. It’s as if she doesn’t enjoy it herself.

In the battle of interests, Yuyu was clearly getting all the benefits this time, simply overpowering.

Lin Rui took the bright red fine wine from Roberta’s hand and said, "I accept your gift. You can start preparing a grand banquet dinner with your chefs for tonight. I hope that this banquet will bring something for everyone."

Little Roberta was overjoyed. She’d placed the right bet again! As long as she played the part of the Lord’s bootlicker well, the Lord would surely reward her richly. If tonight’s banquet could be put under her charge, wouldn’t the realm coins allocated by the civil servant be astronomical?

Roberta secretly set herself a small goal: earn a billion first!

Roberta hurriedly asked, "Lord, is there any particular cuisine you prefer? I’ll get right on it."

Particular cuisine?

Lin Rui thought about it and realized he didn’t have any.

At this moment, Audrey lifted her head from the food and quickly waved, "Hey, hey, I have, I have. Look at this!"

She pushed a menu from the table.
