Chapter Twenty-Six: The Dinner

When Meng Chen returned to the city hall, he found that a large number of citizens had gathered outside the city hall.

Ellie, along with nine other female tailors, stood on the steps of the town hall to distribute uniforms to the soldiers.

When dozens of soldiers with weapons in hand, wearing armor and cloaks, and uniformly dressed, stood together, the momentum was completely different from the previous linen outfits.

At this time, a burst of electronic synthesis sound sounded in Meng Chen's ears, "Ding Dong! Soldiers wear uniform uniforms and have +1 morale! ”

"I didn't expect military uniforms to have such benefits!" Meng Chen said with joy in his heart.

After all the soldiers had put on their new uniforms, the tailors began to distribute uniforms of different colors and styles to other citizens.

Among them, the uniforms of lumberjacks and farmers are predominantly green, the uniforms of quarrymen and coachmen are predominantly yellow-gray, the uniforms of blacksmiths and cobblers are predominantly yellow-gray, and the uniforms of cooks and carpenters are predominantly off-white......

Just as Meng Chen was watching the excitement from the sidelines, Ellie came to Meng Chen with a dark blue robe in her hand and said with a smile: "Lord Lord, this is the city lord uniform I designed for you. Would you like to try it? ”

Meng Chen was pleasantly surprised: "Do I have it too?" Thank you, Ellie! ”

Handing the city lord's robe to Meng Chen, Ellie pursed her lips and smiled, "I hope the lord can be satisfied!" ”

Meng Chen returned to the city hall and changed into the dark blue city lord uniform.

What Meng Chen didn't expect was that the city lord's uniform was actually a set of refined-level equipment.

Castle Lord's Uniform (White)

Effect 1: Majesty +1

Effect 2: Charisma +1

Note: This is the Castle Lord's exclusive uniform, and wearing it will make you more confident!

"What is the use of adding majesty and charisma?" Meng Chen muttered.

When Meng Chen walked out of the city hall, he found that all the citizens had changed into new clothes, and everyone was smiling, obviously very satisfied with the new clothes.

Meng Chen called the head chef and asked him, "Everyone is very happy today, I want to hold a dinner party, how many kinds of food can you make?" ”

The head chef replied, "My lord, there is a lot of prey these days, and you can make barbecued meat, smoked fish, steamed eggs, and the like. The only regret is that there is no alcohol! ”

Meng Chen waved his hand and said, "Now that the food is in short supply, the matter of wine will be talked about later, it is already very good to be able to make these foods!" ”

Afterwards, Meng Chen came to the steps of the city hall and shouted to all the citizens: "All the citizens of the City of Hope, it has been a month and a half since the city was founded!" I've decided to have a dinner tonight to celebrate the completion of the City of Hope! Everyone has to be there, there's no limit to food, so let's have a blast! ”

Oh~~~!

As soon as Meng Chen's words fell, the citizens immediately let out deafening cheers!

It was already evening, and since we were going to have a dinner tonight, we had to start preparing now.

Under the command of four chefs, all the citizens were busy, lighting bonfires, moving tables and chairs, preparing dishes, handling ingredients, and so on.

Two hours later, under the bright moonlight, the first plenary dinner in the City of Hope officially began.

Although the conditions are simple, even the tables, chairs and tableware need to be pieced together, and even many citizens can only sit on the ground;

Although the variety of food is limited, there are only a few kinds of barbecued meat, smoked fish, steamed eggs, long bread, etc.;

But this dinner was held to make everyone happy, and that was enough!

Looking at the scene of the citizens carnival and celebration, Meng Chen sat in an inconspicuous corner, holding a roast leg of lamb and munching silently.

Compared to the citizens who only had to follow orders, Meng Chen, as the city lord, obviously had a lot to consider.

"Lord Castle, you seem to be a little troubled!" A peaceful voice sounded in Meng Chen's ears.

Meng Chen turned his head and saw that it was a scholar from the library.

I saw that the scholar was wearing a gray-white robe, and his deep eyes were faintly shining with wisdom.

For knowledgeable scholars, Meng Chen has always been very respectful.

Meng Chen replied, "I did encounter a problem recently. The City of Hope is currently in dire need of metals, and there may be metal mines in the mountains northeast of the basin. Unfortunately, that place is occupied by a group of powerful beasts, and it is impossible for my soldiers to defeat them. ”

The scholar laughed: "The reason why human beings are stronger than wild beasts is because of tools and wisdom. ”

Meng Chen's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Do you have any good ideas?" ”

The scholar shook his head and replied very simply, "No! ”

Just as Meng Chen looked disappointed, the scholar continued, "Why didn't the City Lord gather the citizens to brainstorm and discuss a feasible solution? ”

When Meng Chen heard this, he asked with some hesitation, "Is this really useful?" ”

The scholar smiled and said, "The library is a gathering place of urban memory and wisdom, and it may be able to bring enlightenment and inspiration to lords and citizens!" ”

After thinking for a moment, Meng Chen nodded and said, "Thank you!" Your proposal, I will consider it carefully! ”

After bowing to Meng Chen, the scholar turned to leave.

Leaving his worries behind, Meng Chen walked into the crowd and enjoyed the carnival atmosphere to the fullest.

Dressed in a red uniform, Ellie came to Meng Chen and asked a little shyly, "Lord Lord, can I dance with you?" ”

"Dancing? I...... I don't know at all! ”

As a small person at the bottom of society in the federal era, how could Meng Chen have the time and credit to learn the "useless" dance?

Ellie pursed her lips and smiled slightly, and said, "I'll teach you!" ”

Under Ellie's guidance, Meng Chen took clumsy steps, followed Ellie's rhythm, and learned a dance whose name he didn't know.

Looking at Ellie's sweet smile and holding Ellie's tender hands, Meng Chen had a hard time connecting her with the NPCs in the game.

"Are the civilians summoned in the town hall just intelligent NPCs?"

This question, which had plagued Meng Chen for a long time, resurfaced in Meng Chen's mind

Tonight's banquet lasted for three hours, and when Meng Chen returned to the city hall to rest, a message popped up in the light curtain in his mind, "All citizens of the City of Hope, loyalty +5!" ”

"This dinner has a good effect, it seems that it will be held more in the future!" Meng Chen muttered.

At this time, Meng Chen found a piece of blue fabric neatly folded on a desk in the city hall.

Meng Chen opened it and saw that it was the banner of the City of Hope.

City of Hope Flag (White)

Effect 1: Morale +1

Effect 2: People's Hearts +1

Note: This flag is the symbol of the city and the dignity of the city!

"All you need to do is hang it on the top of the town hall and the citizens of the city will be blessed. What a great piece of equipment! ”

After checking the attributes of the flag, Meng Chen immediately understood its usage.
