The banquet lasted until the next morning, but when Ma Lu looked at the Traveler's Bracelet on his wrist, he found that less than 5 minutes had passed.
Zhu Jiu was right. The time inside the novel was completely different from the outside; here, a year or half could be just a sentence away for the author.
After the banquet ended, Ma Lu even took a nap in the village and went to the pond to feed the mutant beasts kept there.
Zhu Qingqing found him, paid him the remaining 40,000 Star Currency as per their agreement, and thanked him and Old Wang again for entering the book to help them prepare the banquet.
Taking the Star Currency, Ma Lu said, "Candle Clan Chief, you are too kind. You can contact us again if you want to have another banquet in the future."
Zhu Qingqing smiled and nodded, then shook her head, "We are probably going to stay in this book for a while. The next Supporting Character Festival might not be until ten years later."
