Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Though Huang Tianxi was not yet nine years old, he was already 1.5 meters tall. Dressed in a bright yellow cotton robe with a dark blue beast fur jacket for warmth over it, he didn’t wear a hair-binding crown as he was not yet fifteen. His black hair was tied neatly behind him with thread, giving him a clean and tidy appearance. Knowing the importance of tonight’s banquet, he presented a rather solemn demeanor, matched by his sturdy frame, resembling an adult.

”Alright, let’s go together! Yuniang and the others are waiting for me on the first floor. Let’s find them first, then head to the Political Hall for the banquet.”

Huang Tianxi clearly noticed his mother Zhu Mei’s tear stains. He seemed to understand the reason and, recognizing that his mother tried to hide her face, sensibly pretended not to see it. He even deliberately changed the topic, asking Zhu Shun, ”Uncle, I heard that tonight at the Political Hall banquet, the Lord, Minister Xia Chuan, as well as the Directors of the Six Ministries, will all be present. Is that true?”

”Of course, as well as the ones you often mention — Lord Yu Wen, Lord Yuan, Mr. Qiu... they’ll all be there. You’ll see them all at once tonight.”

”That’s great, haha!”

Seeing the excitement on his nephew’s face, Zhu Shun shook his head slightly.

Now that the population of Xia City has surpassed 400,000, for children like Huang Tianxi, besides seeing the Lord Xia Hong, even the Directors of the Six Ministries are rarely seen, so it’s not surprising they react this way.

Zhu Shun quickly led the mother and son to the main building. But as soon as they entered the first floor of the main building, they were instantly stunned.

The first floor of the main building was packed with tables, teeming with a sea of people — rough estimates put the number at over 20,000 individuals.
