The Abyssal Garden: No Room for the Idle

Stars Hall on that day.

It was also the last day for many players to visit the replica city, Night City.

Night City was teeming with people, with all kinds of visitors pouring in from all directions to step into the magnificent Stars Hall, where holographic technology, welcome speeches, electricity that didn't cost a dime, and a plethora of advertisements flooded every corner of Night City.

A large number of personnel were entering Stars Hall.

The assistant was doing Nancy's makeup, arranging his clothes, and making all the preparations for the opening.

Nancy, recalling everything calmly, didn't feel nervous, but he did look at his assistant with some curiosity:

"Say, why have you been looking down all day?"

The assistant replied, "Last night... I didn't sleep well... got a stiff neck."

This was a lie.

She hadn't slept all night because of the details and analysis Su Qi had mentioned, which had been circling in her head.

She couldn't possibly say that she had been kept up all night thinking about it, could she?

Nancy glanced slightly at the holographic surveillance screen in the office, where a large number of Stars Hall staff were bustling about: "There really are a lot of people."

There were many guests from various circles, as this auction event amounted to a grand annual celebration of this domain, and Night City was just the selected host city.

However, even so,

Night City had also put all its effort, mustered all its strength, and devoted itself to serving guests from all circles. These dignitaries were indeed willing to spend lavishly, naturally spending all their money in the VIP and distinguished guests areas.

But many dignitaries considered it worthwhile, as this domain contained too many big and small worlds. Although it was just the tip of the iceberg in the truly vast Chaos, or even equivalent to a galaxy within the entire universe, for Night City, it was already enough.

"We cannot afford a single mistake today," Nancy said softly. "There are already about a dozen or so Spirit Prince's Heirs that have arrived at the scene."

These dozen or so were relatives of the Spirit King, akin to descendants of the great Spirit King family. Although it didn't sound like much, anyone related to the Spirit King was someone Nancy needed to treat cautiously.

Don't underestimate distant nephews as relatives.

Additionally... the itinerary of a few Spirit Prince's Heirs seemed a bit slower, so they were expected to arrive a bit later.

Their identities appeared to be even more significant.

That was why Night City had arranged such a long program lineup.

"It's about time, Mr. Nancy," said the person in charge softly. "The opening will begin in five minutes."

"Okay."

As the host, Nancy naturally had to go to the staging area beforehand.

Stars Hall was now crowded with people, but it was distinctly organized; there was no chaotic noise, and it didn't seem crowded.

Night City had even significantly reduced the noise between different regions.

Even if there were loud shouts in the rear areas, at least they wouldn't bother the VIP section.

And after all, with holographic images projected in every corner, there was no need to worry about myopic guests not being able to see the central platform.

"It really is... perfection. But that's good."

"At least there won't be any trouble."

Nancy heard about the incident in Illegal Land from those dignitaries yesterday; they had said Night City had successfully eliminated the Black Emperor and Jile's Crowd, two major gangs, and it was now under their jurisdiction. The specifics weren't clearly disclosed, as if deliberately avoiding the topic.

He didn't bother to ask more.

"It's time for the opening, Mr. Nancy."

Nancy nodded.

He collected his thoughts.

Then, revealing a professional smile, dressed in a sumptuous tailcoat, he stood up straight, exuding confidence as he strode out.

He entered the stage like a beam of light that captivated everyone's attention!

Music, lights, the whole Stars Hall was sparkling!

"Ladies and gentlemen,"

Nancy's voice reached everyone's ears: "Welcome to Night City!"

"Welcome to this world auction of celebration!"

"I am today's host, Nancy!"

He was surrounded by many spotlights! The applause of the audience also followed.

The burning sensation in the air made every cell in his body jump.

Exactly.

This was the feeling, everything progressing step by step!

All in his control!

"Next, let us first welcome the important guests who have come to Night City..."

Nancy first introduced the other Spirit Princes and the presences of other powers; they all sat in the foremost and top seats, having individual private areas, so there was no need for detailed introductions, merely a welcome speech according to their power.

These dozen or so Spirit Princes were people of [Phantom Dream Spirit King] and [Death Omen Star Spirit King], both of whom had formed vast families, with the latter even being a power centered around heirs.

Then there were some other organizations, who, although they didn't compare to the Spirit King, were still behemoths to Night City.

Finally,

It was time to introduce the organizers of Stars Hall, the five investors of Night City who contributed the most to its construction; their strength and value in Night City were undoubtedly top-notch, and this was also their method of making their reputations known.

"Galaxy Logistics..."

"New Evolution Group..."

Nancy looked at the holographic panel and read off each name; after all, as the organizer, this was the normal procedure.

And the seats of the five organizers were also separately placed at the front, located in an area like judges' seats, of course, also near the Spirit Princes' positions.

Above each person's seat, there were holographic logos and advertisements for the groups. After announcing one, the dignitary would rise with the chair.

It could be said that they had exhausted all means to climb up in status.

"Wisdom Group..."

"Mih Group..."
