Chapter 1812: Chapter 614: Jing’s Birthday Instance, Dream Tang Song Descends_4

"Jingjing, is there a friend here?"

"Yes." Jing nodded, affectionately holding Xu Qing’s hand, "This is my good friend, Xu Qing. Qingqing, this is my mom."

"Hello, Auntie." Xu Qing quickly greeted obediently.

"Oh, hello Qingqing." Chen Man glanced at her, smiled, and said, "Such a beautiful girl."

Xu Qing chuckled, "Auntie, you’re beautiful too."

Chen Man smiled warmly and chatted with her for a bit.

As she approached Jing, she softly asked, "Jingjing, I remember you said before that you planned to have guests wear those masquerade masks covering half their face at the birthday party entry, right?"

Jing’s eyes darted, "Yes, that’s right. But don’t worry, it’s just a fun little pre-party thing for my young friends to choose to wear, only covering the eyes."

Her previous birthday parties, which her parents hadn’t attended, were always unique with many interesting elements.

But since her parents had partners and friends attending this time, they had emphasized no unnecessary actions.

Finally, after her persistence, she only retained this idea, letting guests choose voluntarily without forcing them.

The main purpose of this was to make Shangguan Qiuya’s appearance more "stunning."

If identities were announced directly, it would lose the effect of "hearing thunder in silence."

She wanted Shangguan Qiuya to quietly mingle with them until the key moment when the mask comes off.

She would personally introduce the identity to ignite the scene.

This is the classic "iconic scene" in anime!

It also allows her to better serve as Tang Song’s backdrop.

After all, tonight’s main focus is her and Tang Song.

Yet Chen Man shook her head, "I’m not against it, I mean you could prepare more. What if our friends want to join in the fun too? Even the servers could wear them. Wouldn’t that be more lively and fun?"

"Huh?" Jing’s eyes lit up instantly, surprised and asked, "Really? Didn’t Dad say there would be business partners present, so it should be more formal?"

"Of course," Chen Man indulgently rubbed her daughter’s soft ponytail, "Our little princess’s birthday party should be the happiest fun for you."

She agreed, partly due to the emphasis Tangzong Entertainment placed on the flash plan, far beyond her expectations.

They even dispatched a professional planning team to communicate in-depth with the hotel.

To ensure Echo group’s sudden appearance, plan to disguise them as masked servers blending into the scene, then transform on the main stage during the performance.

According to them, this also minimizes privacy invasion issues.

Having top-tier stars as servers; that’s unbeatable hype.

Besides, this is Jing’s birthday party, and she’s been a fan of Echo since young, liking this kind of fun thing.

Plus, most attending are young people, masks would be chosen based on personal preference.

After the flash ends, they would simply remove the masks.

Thus, after discussing with her husband, she agreed to Tangzong Entertainment’s proposal.

Watched her mom leave.

Jing immediately dragged Xu Qing into the bedroom, into an opulent walk-in closet.

Started helping her try on the evening gown.

Xu Qing, who never wore such high-class clothes, had eyes full of delight.

In the bedroom, they changed outfits and took photos. Jing generously took out her jewelry box, allowing Xu Qing to pick accessories.

Having lots of fun.

"Click—"

"This group photo is so pretty, I’ll send it to our boyfriend to see." Jing said excitedly, directly sharing with Tang Song.

Starting to "tap tap tap" type a message.

...

YJTC.

"Dingdong—" WeChat notification sounded.

[Jing: Group photo.jpg]

[Jing: "Song, you absolutely can’t be late for the birthday party tonight! I’ve prepared tons of surprises, waiting for you to unwrap them personally!"]

Tang Song looked at the photo of the two radiant, youthful girls, a knowing smile appearing on his face as he was about to respond.

Suddenly the clear system notification sounded in his ear.

"Ding! A scenario fitting the player has been detected, special item[Tang Song’s Reflection]has been triggered, instance[Tian Jing’s Birthday Party]has been created!"

Tang Song’s hand froze instantly! Subconsciously sprang up from the sofa, his face full of shock and surprise.

This...

⊙▃⊙

Just got this item less than two hours ago and it’s triggered?!

Tang Song almost suspected he was dreaming.

Pinched his tongue, the clear pain sensation arrived.

His heart started pounding heavily, "thud thud thud."

Good heavens! My beautiful and rich friend, you’ve really given me a massive surprise!

Tonight, you must be well rewarded!

Immediately opened the system interface, entered the warehouse.

A shimmering card lay quietly therein.

Check details.

[Tian Jing’s Birthday Party]: Upon use a special event instance will load in the real world, please be prepared ahead of time.

[Note: Valid period (6 hours 59 minutes 31 seconds), instance will automatically start after the countdown ends.]

Tang Song stared at the card for a moment, without hesitation, clicked to launch immediately.

"Whish—"

The light curtain before his eyes shifted, shattered, transforming into countless points of dazzling stardust reconvening before him.

A magnificent 3D dynamic scene unfolded before him like a god’s view.

He saw—

The grand banquet hall, giant floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city’s nightscape, chandeliers as dazzling as the Milky Way, and Jing, dressed luxuriously, radiant and surrounded by stars...

He also saw—

Luo Bin’s towering figure, Wu Kezhi’s calm demeanor, Zheng Qiudong’s sharp calculating eyes, Mo Xiangwan’s composed elegant posture, and Anne Kate’s alluringly aggressive smile...

Golden threads intricately weave and collide between these figures, mesmerizing.

And in the deepest part of this grand scene, a profound reflection identical to himself stood quietly, calmly overseeing it all.

Then, lines of text sprang forth:

[Welcome to the special event instance—Tian Jing’s Birthday Party]

[An ordinary birthday party, due to player intervention, has evolved into a grand stage that gathers emotions, fame, ambition, and interests]

[Due to the Tang Jin Family Office’s changes, unlocked game characters will attend the party with their strategies and purposes, probing, negotiating, and confronting you during the banquet]

[Faced with such complexity, you currently lack the ability to control them]

["Tang Song’s Reflection" gradually casts]

[Through harnessing the power of "reflection," as the player, you will suppress all agitation, balance all demands, control all characters, achieving an enhancement in mind and ability]
