Chapter 45: Arrived
This is a dark blue gemstone necklace made of a large and three small series, surrounded by a lot of broken diamonds, gorgeous and complex lines, all the elements in a combination of a luxurious and high-end look.
If you don't touch it yourself, you won't be able to absorb the evolution point, and you don't seem to be able to absorb this skill in the air, and you can't touch it rashly in front of everyone, and if you do this, you will definitely be blasted out as a pervert.
Tonight's guests come from all walks of life, either rich or expensive or elite people in the industry, as the owner of the manor and the protagonist of tonight's banquet, Alice naturally needs to be comprehensive, can't ignore them, and needs to greet them back and forth.
Therefore, after chatting with Wrightin and the others for a while, Alice said sorry and was about to turn away, but Gong Bing seized the opportunity and followed.
"Christie, you may be a little presumptuous, but I want you to grant a request." Gong Bing said straight to the point.
"Gabriel, I'm classmates, it's a bit annoying for you to call me that, so you might as well call me Alice." Alice smiled like a flower: "So what can I help with?" β
"Can you lend me your necklace for a closer look?" Gong Bing pointed to the necklace around Alice's neck.
Alice was stunned, looked down at her necklace, and raised her head again, as if she didn't expect Gong Bing to ask such a question, but she didn't ask anything more.
"This necklace is called La Mer Tristar, a birthday gift from my father, and I just received it today, it is from the Wellman Empire, created by the Wellington gemstone. Of course, you can see it if you want to, but it may be a little inconvenient at this time, and I have some guests to entertain, so Gabriel you may need to wait for me for another half hour. β
"No problem, I was presumptuous, thank you, Alice."
"Then I'll ask the maid to take you upstairs to the parlor and wait a little while, and I'll come later." Alice said with an apologetic look and turned to leave.
Gong Bing followed a servant out of the banquet hall, turned into the side aisle, and then walked up the stairs to the living room on the second floor.
At this moment, in the banquet hall, Scola stared at the back of Gong Bing leaving, his face was gloomy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
The dΓ©cor in the parlor is identical to that of the hall, still ornate and atmospheric, with expensive carpets and chandeliers, and famous paintings hanging around it.
After the maid brought in the tea and pastries, she quietly closed the door and withdrew, leaving Gong Bing alone in the house.
Gong Bing sat down on the sofa in the room and waited silently.
With the experience of one absorption, I don't know how many evolution points there are in the necklace this time, and the time required to fully absorb it is uncertain, so the longer the time to touch the necklace, the better.
Half an hour passed, and when Gong Bing walked around the room twice, moving everything that couldn't be seen neatly, Alice finally pushed the door as promised.
"Gabriel, I'm sorry to keep you waiting, there are a lot of guests, and it's hard to get out just now." Alice said as she came to Gong Bing and sat down.
With tonight's dress and dress, Alice is more mature than when she was at school, talking and laughing freely among the guests, whether it is facing young people of similar age or elders, sometimes it is a sentence, sometimes a smile or a look, so that everyone will not feel left out, this ability makes Gong Bing, who is watching her from the side, feel a little admired.
This is probably an indispensable ability for the children of every big family, and Gong Bing asked himself whether he would learn such a skill in this life or in the next life.
"I was presumptuous, but I'm embarrassed when you say that."
After Alice sat down next to Gong Bing, a fresh smell of perfume came from her and wafted into Gong Bing's nose.
Isn't that what the perfume I just delivered tonight smells like? Gong Bing immediately distinguished, when she was in the hall just now, Alice smelled of other perfumes.
This girl is only less than twenty years old to have such thoughts, Gong Bing sighed in her heart.
After the maid who brought Alice tea closed the door and left, Alice was the first to speak.
"Gabriel, since you returned to school after you got sick, there have been a lot of changes during this time, your grades have improved, and you have become strong and sunny." Alice smiled: "Compared to you today, you used to be a little shy and cute. β
"It's just that after a serious illness, I figured out something, and people always need to grow up, don't they?"
"Now the classmates in the class are impressed with you, you may not know that there are many female classmates who have a good impression of you." Alice covered her mouth and laughed.
Gong Bing smiled disappreciatively, after all, he and Gabriel are two completely different people, different life experiences cast different personalities, although he will cover up a little in front of his family, and the gradual changes make them not feel abrupt and suspicious, but in school, Gong Bing does not have too many scruples, compared with Gabriel's introverted and silent personality, although Gong Bing does not interact with his classmates much in the class, but it gives people a feeling of doing their own thing and being like no one else.
As he grows taller and stronger, especially when he is ranked in the top few of his class in the final exam, it is difficult for his classmates to ignore him.
Perhaps because of these changes, Alice's attitude towards herself has also changed a lot, and at this moment the two of them also greeted each other politely with a smile on their faces, talking about some boring things in school and small things that happened at the banquet.
Although Gong Bing was tired of these sesame mung beans chatting, he could only smile patiently and chat with the other party at this time.
As if feeling that the time was almost up, Alice finally lifted the hair hanging from her ears, revealing her smooth and white neck, only to see her take off the necklace and hold it in front of Gong Bing with both hands.
"Why did Gabriel suddenly become interested in this?" Alice asked with a curious look.
In the process of approaching him, the feeling of coolness became stronger and stronger, and holding back his slightly excited mood, Gong Bing slowly took the necklace, and when his hand touched the necklace, the coolness passed into his body through his fingers like flowing water.
"I suddenly felt that this chain was very different, and it was just a whim." Gong Bing dealt with Alice with his mouth while silently calling out the personal panel.
Not surprisingly, the evolution point at the bottom of the panel is growing rapidly.
Gong Bing was distracted from chatting with Alice while focusing on absorbing the evolution points in the necklace.
After about a few minutes, the coolness disappeared and seemed to have been absorbed.
Looking at the personal panel again, the evolution points have become 206%, and after subtracting the remaining 21%, the evolution points absorbed this time are 185%.
Just as Gong Bing was checking the necklace, Alice took out a document bag from her side and handed it to Gong Bing.
"This is a copy of the Hailan three-star appraisal certificate, I think since you care so much about this necklace, maybe these materials will be of interest to you."
"Thank you, Alice, you are so careful." Gong Bing took the document bag and returned the necklace, maybe he could find some clues about the origin of the evolution point.
"Actually, if you are interested in jewelry, you can ask Nate for help, the Nate family also has some energy in the domestic jewelry industry, and for your future brother-in-law, he must be happy to help." Alice said with a smile.
Gong Bing just smiled when he heard this, opened the file bag and flipped through it.
"By the way, I actually have a small matter here, I hope Gabriel-san can help." Seeing Gong Bing, who was looking through the information, Alice spoke softly.
