Chapter 830

Mushroom Street was the busiest commercial street on Nightfall Star. The main road was no more than ten kilometers long, but there were thousands of shops on it.

The name Mushroom Street originated from when the commercial street was first built. At that time, there were not many merchants, but there was a small shop that made mushroom soup. Because the soup was delicious, it became famous, and more and more people came to know about it.

Because of this small shop, the business of the entire business street was booming.

Later, more and more people came here and said that they were going to Mushroom Street. Hence, the name Mushroom Street was passed down, but no one remembered the original name of the street.

The reason the Gu Ding Pirate Crew had appeared here was naturally for the mushroom soup.

After arriving on Nightfall Star, Gu Ding wanted to meet Reid as soon as possible. After all, they had not seen each other for several years. However, no one answered when he called Reid through the communicator. Gu Ding figured that Reid was probably busy with a meeting, so he decided to go for a walk with them.

He asked the Sea Emperor to investigate and found information about this Mushroom Street. Hence, a group of people came here in great numbers.

After strolling along the main road for a while, Gu Ding and the others soon found the old shop that made mushroom soup in the center of Mushroom Street — Magic Soup.

The shop's signboard was a three-dimensional projection of a bowl of fragrant soup. There was still steam lingering above the soup bowl.

When Gu Ding and the others arrived, it was not lunchtime yet, but there were not many empty seats left in the shop.

The group entered the shop one after another. Soon, a young waitress came up to them. "How many people will there be in your party?"

"Twelve people." Gu Ding did not include Tagore and Bru. After all, the two of them were not humans and did not need to take up seats for meals.

"If it's twelve people, under normal circumstances, we would recommend using a private room. However, all of our private rooms have been reserved. There are only empty seats left in the hall …" The waitress said to Gu Ding and the others in a practiced manner.

"Then we'll stay in the hall." Gu Ding nodded.

"I'm sorry for the inconvenience. I'll take you there now," the waitress said as she led Gu Ding and the others to an empty table in the hall.

Not long after the group of people sat down and ordered, a group of people filed in at the entrance. Under the guidance of the waiter, they walked toward the private room that they had booked earlier.

"An old acquaintance is here." Neptune looked up and smiled.

Gu Ding looked up when he heard that and soon saw a familiar figure.

"Karlot?!"

Although Karlot had matured a lot and was much taller, his body was still lean, and he still had a furry tail behind him.

Gu Ding and the others had met Karlot at the War God Arena and had even invited him to join them, but he had refused.

As if sensing Gu Ding and the others' gazes, Karlot turned to look at them. However, he was stunned after just one glance. He called out to the people around him and walked toward Gu Ding and the others alone.

"I didn't expect to see you here." Karlot was no longer hostile toward Gu Ding and the others. In the Grand Cosmic Sea, the human race could only become stronger if they were united.

"Yeah, I'm a little surprised." Gu Ding smiled and nodded. He was in a good mood after meeting an old friend.

"Your friends look strong. Are they members of the Hunter's Lair?" Lilliath could not help but ask.

"Yes, I was already a member of the Hunter's Lair before I entered the Grand Cosmic Sea." Karlot nodded. "Didn't you take up fourteen spots this time? That's amazing! "

"You even know about this?" Gu Ding thought the Federal Government had kept the matter a secret.

"Actually, this news has not been made public, but there are only two hundred spots in total. Fourteen of the spots are reserved by the Federal Government. Coupled with the matter of the key that you caused a stir some time ago, it's not hard to guess that these reserved spots are reserved for you. Because of this matter, several forces have a lot of complaints, especially since you let two of your pet beasts take up two spots. Many people have objections, "Karlot could not help but glance at Tagore and Bru as he said this.

"Did you hear that? Both of you better perform well when you go in this time. "Gu Ding smiled at the two beasts nonchalantly.

"I'll go first. There's someone waiting over there. See you in the Burial Ground." After some small talk, Karlot saw that Gu Ding and the others had dishes on their table. He did not want to disturb them any longer, so he said goodbye and left.

When they returned to their team, the others obviously recognized Gu Ding and the others.

"You know the people from the Gu Ding Pirate Crew?" The young man leading the team frowned slightly.

"We entered the Grand Cosmic Sea from the same War God Arena. I fought with their members at that time." Karlot did not want to say anything more. He knew that most people in the Hunter's Lair did not like Interstellar Pirates.

"Who did you fight with? Did you win or lose? "Someone next to him quickly asked.

"Liliath. I lost." Karlot shook his head.

"You lost to a gunner?" Someone immediately made a sound of surprise.

"Karlot's cultivation level was low at that time. It's normal for him to lose one or two matches." Someone next to him comforted him.

Karlot did not continue the topic. He only thought to himself, 'Liliath is not just a gunner …'

When they left Magic Soup, Gu Ding and the others were still not satisfied with the signature mushroom soup.

Just as they were about to continue shopping, a figure suddenly blocked the way of Gu Ding and the others.

"Reid?!"

It was not only Gu Ding, but the others also recognized Reid. They had seen him many times in video projections, but this was the first time they saw him in person.

"Fortunately, you didn't go far. I just finished a meeting and saw your communication records from an hour ago, so I rushed over immediately." Reid came up and gave Gu Ding a hug. The two had not seen each other in more than two years since they met in Purgatory Gates.

"I knew you were busy, so we just strolled around. We even ran into Karlot in Magic Soup." Gu Ding was in a good mood. "It's rare to meet two old friends in a day."

"You'll see more when the Sky Burial Grounds opens in two days." Reid smiled. "Besides Karlot, Shakya and Narro have both obtained places to enter the Sky Burial Grounds."

Shakya and Narro were the pair of Buddhist Sect brothers that Gu Ding and the others had met in the War God Arena a few years ago.

"There's another person you won't expect. Guess who it is?" Reid was still keeping Gu Ding in suspense.

"I can't guess. Just say it." Gu Ding shook his head and smiled bitterly. They had known too many people along the way. It was really hard to tell who could enter the Grand Cosmic Sea.

"Sigh, boring." Seeing that Gu Ding had no intention of guessing, Reid said the name helplessly, "It's Elizabeth. She has awakened a powerful Primordial Bloodline. Her strength has improved by leaps and bounds in the past two years. Her cultivation level alone has long stepped into the level of a True God. Her strength is definitely not to be underestimated."

"Elizabeth …" Hearing the name, memories that had been buried for a long time were awakened in Gu Ding's mind.
