Chapter 951: Traitor Killing Ranking
So, what was the point of killing Strangers, accumulating contribution points, and appearing on the Traitor Killing Ranking?
First, contribution points could be exchanged for all sorts of precious resources, Strange Artifacts and martial arts manual.
Second, the top ten warriors with the most contribution points would receive official posts and valuable treasures from the four nations themselves. The rewards were handsome to say the least.
It was worth noting that the jianghu people weren’t the only ones who would be participating in the event. The national geniuses attending the Four Seas Summit would be participating as well, and the final amount of contribution points would decide their ranking in the Four Seas Summit.
Originally, the geniuses were supposed to duel each other and show off humanity’s strength through the Four Seas Dragon Palace.
However, that was no longer possible since the Four Seas Dragon Palace had been exterminated.
That was why the four nations altered their original plans and had the geniuses participate in the slaying of the traitors of the four seas instead. It could both hone their strength and show off the might of humanity, effectively killing two birds with one stone.
Not only that, the day where the Four Seas Summit would have taken place had also been modified. It was now called the “Execution Day” and the “Award Day”.
The Execution Day referred to the day where the four seas aquatic people and Strangers who were captured alive were publicly executed. It was yet another public performance to show off humanity’s power.
During the battle of the Four Seas Dragon Palace, the Eastern Sea Dragon King was captured alive by Chu Xunxian, the rest of the Dragon Kings were killed, and countless more Strangers were captured alive. A good number of them were extremely powerful, and beheading them in public would serve as a good example to those who wanted to threaten humanity.
As for Award Day, it was the day where the top ten contributors on the Traitor Killing Ranking were rewarded for their merits.
In any case, there was no doubt that the Traitor Killing Ranking was a life-changing opportunity for most, if not all people.
It was why the entire jianghu was bubbling with excitement and bloodthirst as soon as it was announced.
For a time, the warriors who desired martial arts manuals or Strange Artifacts, the warriors who wished to hone their strength and skill, the warriors who desired fame and glory, the warriors who wished to climb to the heavens in one fell swoop... they all rushed to the sea and became a part of the Traitor Killing Army.
Everyday, countless people entered the Four Seas and sailed into the sea.
Everyday, countless Strangers were killed, and blood red seas became a common sight.
Everyday, countless new stars showed their faces on the Traitor Killing Ranking and became famous under the heavens.
But of course, opportunity and danger were two sides of the same coin.
Hundred Flowers Island boasted a pleasant climate and a unique environment that allowed all sorts of exotic flora and fauna to survive all year long. Such a perfect environment was rare even compared to the entire world.
Not only that, the environment gave birth to many flora-type Strangers, and the large majority of them were mild-natured and fond of humans.
As a result, not only were Strangers a common sight on Hundred Flowers Island, they also lived in harmony with their fellow humans. It was an incredibly rare sight to say the least.
The Hundred Flowers Countenance referred to the island lord herself. Called Lady Hundred Flowers, she was apparently so stunning that she could captivate even fishes, so charming that wild geese would fall from the sky, and so beautiful that anyone who saw her would be mesmerized and never be able to forget her for the rest of their lives.
Finally, the Hundred Flowers Wonder referred to the Hundred Flower Feast.
As its name implied, the Hundred Flowers Feast was a grand feast serving a hundred types of delicacies, soup and wine using hundreds of exotic flora. It was a meal unlike any other.
Not only that, the Hundred Flowers Feast was split into two categories: inferior grade and superior grade. An inferior grade Hundred Flowers Feast served delicacies created from mundane flora, whereas a superior grade Hundred Flowers Feast served delicacies created from non-sentient floral Stranger. Not only did they taste exquisite, they were quite beneficial to a warrior as well.
The Hundred Flowers Feast was a grand feast money couldn’t buy. Even the lousiest Hundred Flowers Feast cost a minimum of one thousand silver a seat, and a superior one was usually priceless. Why? Because the Hundred Flowers Restaurant only held a superior grade Hundred Flowers Feast three times a year, or once per four months.
It was partially because a superior Hundred Flowers Feast took months to prepare . The selection of materials, the preparation of the materials, the preparation of the dishes and more required strict supervision and maintenance.
It was also because rarity begets value. If Hundred Flowers Restaurant did not limit the number of times they held a superior-grade Hundred Flowers Feast, then it would lose its mysticism and freshness, and the people’s interest would be a lot more diminished as well.
Long story short, a customer who wished to enjoy a superior grade Hundred Flowers Feast must book a seat at least months prior to the event. In fact, Ye Qing learned that the fastest he could book a seat for a superior grade Hundred Flowers Feast was over a year later.
Unfortunately, he would not be able to enjoy a superior grade Hundred Flowers Feast today.
The good news was that the inferior grade Hundred Flowers Feast were far less strict. It only needed a day or two of early booking at most. If some fool was willing to splash the cash, they could even book a seat in just a matter of hours.
Ye Qing was wealthy, but not so wealthy that it burned his hands just to hold them. So, he booked a table two days prior. Now, all he needed to do was to wait to be served.
Hundred Flowers Restaurant was as beautiful as its name suggested. Built from a dense web of vines, flowers and other plants, its exterior was covered in lush green grass that looked as comfortable as cushions and gorgeous flowers, and there were clear streams flowing through the interior and hundreds of gorgeous flowers vying for the customers’ attention.
Vibrant colors brightened one’s eyes, soothing streams and swaying plants brushed against one’s ears, and sweet, dreamlike fragrance tickled one’s nose.
That wasn’t all. All kinds of floral Strangers and creatures were going in and out of the building constantly. It added even more liveliness and curiosity to the Hundred Flowers Restaurant.
Even without the Hundred Flowers Feast, Ye Qing was sure that the Hundred Flowers Restaurant could have conducted its business profitably for many centuries to come.
