People need the rejuvenation of climbing a peak every time they hit a valley. On the evening of the 21st, when news of the game being cleared spread, people gathered spontaneously in the square, lit bonfires and threw a party.
All were reveling in the merriment.
Chu Huaijin, the person in charge of the organization, knew this was an excellent opportunity to rally spirits. He had his subordinates distribute supplies in abundance, providing food and drinks for the grand feast.
Professor Song also hosted a banquet once again for those who cleared the game, the locale being the activity center in the square.
Neither Shen Mo nor Bai Youwei were particularly interested, but they attended anyway. This feast was meant not only for celebration but also to discuss the next step and to exchange the rewards from the current game, to assemble the eight puzzle pieces.
Teacher Cheng and Pan Xiaoxin also attended, even the injured Tan Xiao did.
