#1531 - Dinner Showdown (Part 1)

After Lei Xiao walked into the banquet hall, the powerful men who accompanied him no longer paid any attention to Manager I, but followed in his footsteps.

Seeing Lei Xiao and his group walk in, the originally bustling banquet hall suddenly became much quieter. Whether it was the half-titans or the stone giants, they all held their wine glasses condescendingly and cast contemptuous and mocking glances at them.

They wanted to see how these tiny guys would deal with this embarrassing situation without a proper dining table and tableware.

"It seems that the distinguished guest I have been waiting for has arrived. I really failed to welcome him."

In front of the stone giant's dining table, a burly middle-aged general wrapped in bright silver armor walked out, his huge bearded gray face full of mockery.

Since Lei Xiao was communicating with the manager with his back to the banquet hall, the giants in the banquet hall had no idea what had just happened at the door of the banquet hall.

But what is certain is that there are even a lot of meat scraps and wine stains on the thick beard of this middle-aged stone giant general. Although he said polite words, it is obvious from his sarcastic tone and his appearance that he did not take our group seriously.

"He really looks like a guy who only knows how to use brute force."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly and ignored the stone giant elder, but continued to observe the scene in the banquet hall.

The purpose of his trip was to communicate with the leaders of the two clans. This elder might be very important in the stone giant clan, but to him, he was not a big shot.

"I'm sorry, you distinguished guests have arrived too late. We have already started eating. After all, here, there is no principle that the superiors should wait for the inferiors."

Peyton still looked condescending, and said in a loud voice, "Haha, you distinguished guests won't blame us, right?"

"All the giants present are at the sixth level. In addition to the second stone giant elder, there is also a half-step seventh level on the half-titan side, but neither of them is the leader of the clan. It seems that the real person in charge has not appeared yet."

Lei Xiao ignored the other party's expected reaction, but had already made the situation in the banquet hall clear.

"This must be the famous human king, right? Since everyone is here, please take your seats."

Seeing that Lei Xiao didn't even look at him, Payton felt a little embarrassed and his voice became much lower. Then he seemed to remember something and said jokingly, "Oh, by the way, we forgot to prepare suitable tables, chairs and tableware for you. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality."

After saying that, Payton took a bite of the huge steak in his hand and burst into laughter.

As Payton finished his words, not only the stone giants around him, but even the half-Titans at the other table burst into laughter.

For a moment, the laughter of hundreds of giants in the banquet hall produced a strong wind, and even the giant chandelier in the banquet hall began to tremble and flicker.

Among them, there were quite a few giant warriors who were also enjoying stuffing the barbecue into their mouths, looking like they were showing off.

After seeing this scene, our strong men's brows were twisted into a knot again. They felt that they were neither standing nor sitting, and they all looked embarrassed and caught in a dilemma.

"Your Excellency the Administrator, I didn't expect the food at the banquet to be so appalling."

Lei Xiao glanced at Peyton, then looked at Administrator I and said calmly, "Are you bringing up the feed for the monsters?"

As soon as Lei Xiao said this, our strong men who were originally frowning burst into laughter and cast contemptuous glances at the opposite side, completely free of the dilemma they had just had.

Loris, in particular, even added the sentence "not even dogs would eat it", which made the faces of the giants on the opposite side turn pale and blue, and many giants subconsciously spat out the barbecue in their mouths.

"Haha, Your Majesty, you are too kind. The Outer Realm is so vast, and there are differences among the myriad races after all."

Manager I's reply was still very polite, and he quickly tried to smooth things over by saying, "Otherwise, I will prepare..."

Before the manager could finish his words, Payton threw the barbecue aside and said coldly to Lei Xiao: "Human, what do you mean by this? Are you looking down on us?"

"That's right, you can't pretend you didn't hear that."

In the half-Titan camp, a middle-aged strong man with a similarly burly figure and golden armor came out and frowned, saying: "Please ask the human emperor to explain clearly, otherwise things will not end well..."

The golden-armored half-Titan warrior had not finished his words, but the threat contained in his words was self-evident. This person was none other than the other half-step seventh-level warrior that Lei Xiao had just seen.

"Your Majesty, this guy is the half-Titan Mad Axe Prince Lux, his strength is far beyond that of Bissos just now!"

Loris subconsciously stood behind Lei Xiao and whispered, "It is said that he once fought a group of green dragons alone."

"Does seem a bit smarter than the other Demi-Titans."

Lei Xiao glanced at Lux and nodded slightly.

Compared with Bissos, the golden armor of this half-Titan Prince Mad Axe is obviously more colorful and engraved with dense and deep runes, which obviously has an anti-magic effect.

Moreover, his bronze face was covered with crisscrossing scars, making him look hideous and terrifying, and he looked like someone who was not easy to mess with.

Even so, Lei Xiao still ignored him, and looked at the accompanying masters, smiling and said: "You should all be hungry, right? Since it's a banquet, we should feast on it."

"Human Emperor, you made the dinner we were waiting for sound worthless. Don't think that's the end of it!"

Seeing that Lei Xiao still ignored him, Lux's huge forehead was covered with veins, and he continued: "Now you want to feast at the banquet again, but the dinner I'm waiting for will not be given to rude people!"

After Lux finished speaking, the other giants also echoed him, and pairs of gloomy and disdainful glances were cast towards him.

It seems that the human emperor knew that his words had made a mistake, so he slid to his knees at lightning speed and tried to enjoy their dinner, but unfortunately it was too late!

After seeing this scene, even Loris, Sina, and Old Gary looked at Lei Xiao with puzzled eyes.

His Majesty the Human race just said that the other party's dinner was worthless, but now he wants to feast on it. What does this mean?

"Haha, if you knew this would happen, why did you have to be so stubborn in the beginning?"

Seeing this, Payton on the other side also crossed his arms, looking like he was ready to watch Lei Xiao make a fool of himself.

"Who said we were going to eat those crooked melons and cracked dates on your table?"

Lei Xiao's face remained calm. With a light wave of his hand, several long dining tables piled with delicacies from land and sea suddenly appeared and appeared in the open space of the banquet hall.

At first glance, the delicacies that Lei Xiao brought out included not only the barbecue, bread and wine on the other party’s table, but also a variety of steaks, stews, salads, cakes and other familiar foods.

Judging from the exquisite presentation and the preciousness of the ingredients, it is far from comparable to those on the giants' tables.

In addition, Lei Xiao also specially prepared a table of Daxia delicacies that could be called works of art. The bright red and oily braised pork, sweet and sour fish, twice-cooked pork and other dishes dazzled everyone and they were almost overwhelmed.

As the various delicacies appeared, all the magic plates began to heat up immediately, making the tempting aroma come like a landslide and tsunami, and soon spread to every corner of the giant banquet hall.

"Your Majesty, what are these...?!"

Looking at the delicacies from land and sea so close at hand, many of which were foods they had never seen before, Loris and others from the Rainforest Fortress Alliance, Sina and others from the Desert Alliance, and even old Gary and others who had just recovered his appearance, all opened their eyes wide and couldn't help swallowing. The refreshing aroma was simply like a dream!

"I just said it, since it's a banquet, we have to feast on it."

Lei Xiao took the wine glass from Gray Old Man and said with a smile, "Let's get started."

"Thank you, His Majesty, for your hospitality!"

With a loud shout, everyone rushed to the dining table like a tiger emerging from the mountains and began to eat and drink without any scruples.

For a moment, the giants were stunned by the sight of our strong men eating and drinking to their heart's content and enjoying themselves, their eyes full of envy and desire.

Just from the tempting and ultimate aroma, it can be judged that compared with the delicacies Lei Xiao brought out, the food on their table is as tasteless as sawdust and hay, and is not even in the same dimension!

After a short while, many giants' mouths were drooling and their eyes were about to fall to our side. Where was the boastful look from before?

Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao nodded slightly and sipped champagne leisurely.

I had already been prepared for various situations that might arise at the dinner party, as well as the other party's difficulties, and this was one of them.

After receiving the news of the dinner, he immediately ordered Rudy and other chefs to go full throttle, take out the rarest ingredients, and prepare these delicacies to the highest standard.

Under his training, chefs such as Rudy have already been promoted to the fifth level, and their skills and techniques have naturally improved as well.

The table of Daxia delicacies was prepared by Rudy and some talent lords.

As the mechanism for training lord talents became more mature, Qin Qian gathered together many lords with culinary talents to communicate and cooperate with chefs such as Rudy.

These lords who possess culinary talents have a variety of talents. Some can excel in taste and bring out the special aroma of the ingredients, while others can make the food they prepare gain various beneficial effects, such as accelerating energy recovery, or even directly restoring magic power.

Since the talent level needs to be improved, although the current bonus effect is still relatively limited, if it continues to improve, it may be enough to be comparable to the top-level magic potion.

"In any case, just the top-grade ingredients and superb cooking skills are enough to deal with these giants, not to mention the profound Daxia cuisine?"

Lei Xiao looked at the saliva of the half-titans and stone giants dripping onto the ground, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Damn the human emperor, it turns out he really has the capital to look down on us!"

Payton tried his best not to look at the way our group feasted, but saliva still flowed from the corners of his mouth.

Lux, who obviously had stronger self-control, had a sullen face and looked at Lei Xiao coldly.

They had originally planned to see Lei Xiao and his group make a fool of themselves, but they didn't expect that they would become the final clowns instead, so much so that many giant warriors were almost eager to step forward to ask for food.

What made him even more angry was that what Lei Xiao said just now was indeed correct. Compared with the delicious food the latter brought, their dinner was not worth mentioning at all.

"This human emperor is always able to impress people. Such mouth-watering food is simply unheard of. The most important thing is that now the giants can neither stand nor sit."

Next to Lei Xiao, Manager I swallowed his saliva involuntarily and wanted to reach out for food several times, but when he thought of what he had just done, he finally held it back.

In addition to being surprised, the manager looked at Lei Xiao with a bit more worry in his eyes.

Having said that, whether it is the half-titan or the stone giant, they are both beings that never suffer losses, otherwise they would not have fought each other for three thousand years.

It would be better if they let their little tricks succeed, but now the Human King refuses to give in and directly pushes back at both of them. I'm afraid he will suffer a great loss next.

"You are a bunch of weak-willed bastards. How long do you want to see me continue?"

After a while, the Mad Axe Prince Lux finally couldn't help it. He first raised his hand and knocked down the two half-Titan warriors around him. Then he stared at Lei Xiao's calm face and said lightly: "Human Emperor, there is no lack of entertainment at the dinner. Since you are so unwilling to admit defeat, why don't you practice a little with me?"

After hearing what Lux said, Loris, Sina and others couldn't help but put down the food in their hands and frowned tightly.

This guy is a notorious half-Titan. Almost all opponents who have fought with him were either killed or injured. Now he said he wanted to have a little practice with the human Majesty, so I'm afraid he will use ruthless moves.

"Prince Crazy Axe, you are a well-known Outer Realm warrior, and His Majesty has just entered the Outer Realm. Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Xina frowned and responded.

"Why? Don't you dare?"

Lux sneered and said condescendingly: "Where did the end just now go?"

"you……"

Just as Xi Na was about to refute the other party again, Lei Xiao gently patted the former's shoulder and then slowly walked out. (End of this chapter)
