After leaving the station, Zhang Heng went to the game checkpoint and gave the golden scale he cut off from the black python to the bartender lady for identification.
When he opened the lounge door, he saw the bartender lady tinkering with a new drink at the bar.
Recently, the bartender lady had been getting lazier and lazier. When Zhang Heng saw her, she was either reading manga, playing with her phone, watching dramas, or chatting with unknown netizens on the 2D forum. She didn't even want to do her job anymore. If someone ordered a drink, she would simply order it. Worse, she would simply transfer the order to the bartender downstairs, waiting for the drinks to be prepared before asking the bartender to serve them. The only thing missing was the word 'fooling' written all over her face.
But today, she was out of character and did not continue to slack off. Instead, she finally loved her job for a long time and developed a new beverage for the lounge.
The bartender lady added a small spoonful of sea salt to a drink with an unknown blue-green liquid, completing her improvisation. She then handed the drink to a player at the bar, turned her head, and wiped her hands with a towel. "It's been less than 24 hours since you last left. Why? Can't wait to continue the next round of the game?"
"No, I just got a game item, and I want you to identify it for me," Zhang Heng said as he took out the golden scale from his travel bag.
The bartender lady took the scale and sniffed it. "Hmm, it's quite fresh. It seems that you just had an intimate date with the owner of this thing. You're in luck. I happen to have nothing to do recently. I can give you the results of the appraisal tomorrow."
After that, she looked up and found Zhang Heng staring at her.
"Why? Do I remind you of the poor girl you played with and abandoned in the quest?" The bartender raised her eyebrows.
Zhang Heng retracted his gaze and said, "Well, I just didn't expect you to be so efficient."
"Don't look at me like that. I have rent to pay, and I have a lot of pets."
"Cats?"
"No, I like fish. I just ordered a 20-meter-long aquarium tank online. I'm going to raise two electric eels," the bartender lady said, tucking her hair behind her ear.
Zhang Heng nodded. "Good luck." After that, he paid the appraisal fee and left the lounge with his travel bag.
As soon as he left, the bartender lady breathed a sigh of relief. Her energy disappeared, and she returned to her half-dead state. At this time, another player came to order a drink. However, the bartender lady told him to wait for a while and transferred the order to the bartender at the bar below. She then took out a copy of Chess Soul and continued to flip through it.
She found the page she was reading not long ago and was about to continue reading, but the next moment, she froze.
She saw a faint red mark on the right page where her finger had just pressed. The red mark was so faint that only the bartender lady could see it with her sharp eyes.
After that, the bartender lady seemed to have thought of something. She reached out and touched her hair again, only to find a few grains of red soil on it.
The bartender lady knew that something bad had happened. She was very careful along the way to the island, and she did not get stained with seawater or anything else. It was almost exactly the same as before she left. Only when she was on the island, to show that she had no malicious intent toward Jörmungandr, the bartender lady picked up two red pebbles and smashed them, allowing the snake embryo inside to come into the world ahead of time.
It was also at that time that she got the mud on her hands. She also had the habit of flipping her hair, so the mud probably got on her hair at that time. If it was an ordinary person, they probably wouldn't have noticed these details.
However, the bartender lady was facing Zhang Heng. The latter's observation and analysis skills were almost unparalleled among the players. Hence, the bartender lady did not take any chances. She knew that Zhang Heng must have noticed that she had been on the island before. "This is killing me."
"This is killing me," the bartender lady rubbed her temples and sighed, "Why do I feel like a scumbag who got caught cheating by his wife? I'm just there to protect her, but in the end, I have to hide it carefully. Tsk tsk tsk, what a thankless job." "That's not what I'm supposed to do," Zhang Heng said.
While she was lamenting, the lounge door was pushed open again.
This time, it was a waitress who came in, carrying the cocktail that the bartender lady had just ordered. At this time, the player had forgotten about the drink he ordered because his eyes were fixed on the waitress.
Logically speaking, he had experienced many quests and met all kinds of girls. However, when he saw the girl in front of him, he was still stunned. Her appearance couldn't be said to be perfect, but she had an innocent temperament that could easily arouse a man's desire to protect her. At the same time, she was mixed-race, and her pupils and hair were a little exotic. The player who ordered the drink just wanted to hold her in his arms and love her.
But before he could say anything, the bartender lady grabbed the cocktail from the waitress's tray and threw it in front of him with a sullen face.
"Your drink!"
The player who ordered the drink was stunned. He didn't know how he had offended the bartender lady, but he was also a frequent visitor to this game checkpoint. Naturally, he knew who was the boss here. Seeing the bartender lady's unfriendly look, he didn't stay any longer and obediently returned to the booth with his drink.
After he left, the bartender lady looked at the waitress and frowned.
"Why are you here again? Didn't you understand what I said last time? And why did you become like this? Are you tired of being a cherry blossom girl? "
The waitress smiled, "Don't worry. I'm here to bring you good news."
"No good news can compare to you disappearing from my sight," the bartender lady said coldly.
To her surprise, the waitress nodded when she heard that. "It seems that you already know what the good news is before I even say anything."
This time, it was the bartender lady's turn to be stunned. "Are you going to leave?"
"That's right. You told me not to get close to your boss last time. After thinking about it, I think what you said makes sense. So, I've decided to follow your good advice. Not only am I going to leave, but I'm going to leave as far away as possible. I'm going to leave the country. At least, I won't be an eyesore in front of you for a while." The waitress blinked her eyes, "I'm going to use this new identity to say goodbye to you now, Little Snake."
"Where are you going?" The bartender lady did not let down her guard.
"Greenland," the waitress raised the corner of her mouth, revealing a sweet smile. "I just found a job there. I should be able to earn a little money as a translator."
