Chapter 173

In the middle of the night, a woman in a purple dress reclined on a wooden couch. The intelligent ring on her finger projected several images at the same time. They were all scenes of Gu Ding's battles.

From the first battle of Gu Ding's debut to the most recent battle with Yarrow, even the videos of him refining medicine in Hermean Alliance were included in the video.

The corner of the woman in the purple dress's mouth lifted slightly. "Interesting boy, isn't he? He's only a Rank-5 Gene Body, but he has such combat effectiveness. "

"Miss, Gu Ding is indeed a monster level existence. According to the monster level, he's at least four-star and above. However, there's still a fundamental gap between him and those seven-star peerless monsters with taboo powers. " In the darkness, a figure slowly took shape. It was a tall woman with an angelic face and a devilish body that no man could say no to.

"Don't jump to conclusions too early." The woman in the purple dress's eyes never left the video.

"Miss, don't tell me you've fallen for this kid?" The tall woman said with a smile, "Although, from a certain perspective, he's quite cute, and also my type, I like him a lot. But Miss, you … "

"There's something about him that attracts me." The woman in the purple dress raised her eyebrows. "I don't know what it is …"

The tall woman was silent for a moment when she heard this. "The people from the Dark Sectors are going after them again. That little girl named Lili is a huge burden for their crew …"

"Camilia's seventeen hundredth birthday is coming soon, right? Let her invite Gu Ding. Also, prepare an exquisite gift for her. Send two Peak Rank-12 Gene Body powerhouses to deliver it. "The woman in the purple dress's tone was calm.

"Camilia probably won't be happy, especially when she sees people from the Dark Sectors at her birthday party." The tall woman knew very well what her mistress was plotting.

"That's why you have to pick a gift that will satisfy her." The woman in the purple dress turned off all the videos and turned to look at the tall woman with a smile.

"I understand." The tall woman nodded, but then she muttered in a low voice, "A level-three Life Fruit in exchange for the lives of an entire pirate crew. No matter how I look at it, it seems like a bad deal."

"If you have any objections, just keep them to yourself. There's no need to mutter them so softly. I can hear you …" The purple-robed lady was a little speechless.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't help but mutter it out loud" the tall slender woman covered her mouth and laughed. "Then I'll go arrange this matter. You should rest early too."

After the tall lady disappeared, the purple-dressed lady's lips curled up slightly, and a picture of Gu Ding with his pearly white teeth was projected in the air once again. "I wonder how you'll deal with it this time?"

…

The next morning, Gu Ding was woken up by Neptune.

The battle the day before had taken a toll on Gu Ding's stamina. After a nap, he still felt sore all over. He stretched and asked reluctantly, "Neptune, can't you let me sleep a little longer?"

"Don't you feel bored and want to find a place to pass the time?" Neptune asked with a smile.

"You found it?" Gu Ding immediately turned over and got out of bed to wash up.

"I didn't find it. Someone found us," Neptune explained. "I'm guessing that yesterday's battle has attracted the attention of some big shots."

"What do you mean?" Gu Ding asked in a muffled voice.

"We just received an invitation from Viscount Camilia. She invited us to Jiewang's Planet as guests and to attend her one thousand seven hundredth birthday banquet." Neptune looked a little excited.

"Who is this Viscount Camilia?" Gu Ding vaguely felt that the name was a little familiar, but he could not remember when he had heard it before.

"Didn't I tell you about the top ten forces in Border River last time? Camilia was the true ruler of this Border River. Even if the other nine forces joined forces, they would not be a match for her. This woman is a Peak Rank 12 powerhouse. She's an absolute powerhouse who has been granted the title of Viscount by the Federal Government. "

"It sounds very powerful, but isn't she an Interstellar Pirate? Why would the Federal Government grant her a title? "Gu Ding could not understand.

"The Federal Government will recruit some powerful and influential Interstellar Pirates and grant them the title of Viscount. They promise not to interfere with their activities. However, the premise is that they are willing to accept the title and help the Federal Government guard their territory. This Border River is recognized by the Federal Government as Camilia's territory. This is also why Dragon Soar Cosmic Nation and Faye Cosmic Nation rarely interfere with their activities, "Neptune explained in more detail.

"In other words, she's actually an Interstellar Pirate with a Federal Government business license." Gu Ding used more common language to describe the woman's identity. "That's why the Federal Government has a bounty on her head."

"You can think of it that way." Neptune felt that Gu Ding's description was very appropriate. "However, before this woman was recruited, her bounty was as high as seven billion and eight hundred million Universe Credits. Her entire crew had a bounty of more than fifteen billion Universe Credits. You're not even a fraction of her bounty. Of course, after being recruited, her crew's deputy captain left her crew and left with a small group of people. "

"Tell me about Camilia." Gu Ding felt that if he was going to attend someone else's birthday party, he should at least get to know the person.

"Camilia has been in charge of this Border River for more than two hundred years. She's one thousand seven hundred years old this year and is almost at the end of her life. Before being recruited, she and the ship's deputy captain were lovers, and they were very much in love. After being recruited, the two of them were supposed to be together. However, on the day of the recruitment banquet, the deputy captain found out that she had slept with a young Federal Government officer, so he left in a rage.

"After being recruited, her life began to degenerate. She looked for all kinds of men almost every day. Some people said that she had slept with all the captains and deputy captains of the other nine major forces … I don't know if this is true, but one thing is for sure, she did indulge in pleasure every night. "

"Who are the people she invited to her birthday party?" Gu Ding changed the subject.

"Almost all the top 20 guilds in the Border River will be invited, and the top 10 guilds will appear every year. There are also some famous people who occasionally pass by Border River, such as some high-ranking Cosmic Nation Army officers, Federal Government officials, Federal aristocrats, and a few newcomer crews that she thinks are particularly promising. "

"When does the birthday party start?" Gu Ding finally finished washing up and walked toward the kitchen.

"There's still a week left. It'll only take two days to get to Jiewang from here."

"Is there any interesting places to go to on Jiewang?" Gu Ding began to consider whether to stay on this planet to cultivate or to go to Jiewang earlier.

"Jiewang is a tourist planet. It's the largest administrative planet in the entire Border River, and it has the largest permanent population in Border River. There's a very special nature reserve on that planet. There are many rare beasts in the reserve, and there are even two Vipers. "

"Sounds good!" At this time, Gu Ding had already walked into the kitchen. When he saw that everyone except Robert was there, he announced to everyone, "After breakfast, we'll prepare to set off for Jiewang!"

"Ayesha and I just read the introduction of Jiewang. The nature reserve sounds pretty good." Lilliath happened to be thinking about where to go next.

"We'll definitely go to the nature reserve, but our main purpose this time is to attend Camilia's birthday party …" Gu Ding let Neptune explain the reason for the trip to everyone, including Robert.

"Attend the birthday party … It seems that the first thing we should do after we get off the ship is to buy clothes." Lilliath nodded.

"But didn't we just buy clothes yesterday?" Ayesha was a little confused. The clothes in her Storage Ring were already piled up like a mountain.

"That's different. That's what you usually wear. You have to wear something more presentable for the party," Lilliath said. Lilliath voiced her opinion. "Well, apart from clothes, you'll also need to buy jewelry and shoes. Leave them to me. I'll pick them out and you can wear them."

"Then we don't have to get off the ship to try on clothes, right?" Gu Ding felt that he had dodged a bullet when he heard Lilliath say this.

"How is that possible? You have to try on the clothes to know if they fit. " Lilliath pointed her finger one by one, starting from Ayesha, then Gu Ding, and then Biggie. "You, you, you, and Robert, all of you have to get off the ship to try on clothes."

"Robert doesn't have to wear it, does he?" Gu Ding objected.

"No, this is a party. Everyone has to wear clothes. Robert can't run around naked this time either." Lilliath's stubbornness made Gu Ding's forehead break out in a cold sweat.

…

"Big Sis, why did you give that kid Gu Ding an invitation to this party?" A woman looked at the dignified woman sitting on the golden chair with a puzzled expression. "He's only debuted for less than half a year, and he just entered Border River. He basically doesn't have much influence. Even though he won against the Marauders, to a certain extent, it was luck. Besides, it would be awkward for him and Yarrow to appear at the party at the same time. "

"Bonita, you don't have to ask about this." At that moment, Camilia was also watching Gu Ding's battle video. She had actually seen the video of Gu Ding and Yarrow's battle. She could tell at a glance that Yarrow had fought the battle with an injury. The combat effectiveness that Gu Ding had displayed in that battle did not surprise her. In her opinion, ordinary people could only cultivate primary power after their Cell Index reached ten thousand points. If Gu Ding could cultivate primary power, then his gene level should be Rank-8. For a Rank-8 to display peak Rank-10 combat effectiveness, he could only be considered half a monster at best. He was not even at the level of a 1-star monster. However, after she received a request from an important person to invite Gu Ding, she had been repeatedly watching all of Gu Ding's battle videos. After a night of research, she noticed from some details that Gu Ding did not seem to have a high gene level. He might not even be Rank-6 … She finally understood why an important person like that woman would pay attention to Gu Ding.
