"My Master, I swear my loyalty to you! Even if I die, it will not end … "
A moment later.
Chung Shen-soo sat on the sofa and looked at James, who was half-kneeling on the floor and kissing the ring on his palm. He fell into deep thought.
"Success!"
"But … my spiritual sense is already burdened."
"Is it because Li Wei is just an ordinary person in this world? He's not a Herdsman, so even if his spiritual sense has changed, he can only enslave the souls of two ordinary people. Is that the limit? "
"What a pity … I wanted to take control of the city hall after the experiment was successful …"
He shook his head and looked at Scar Face.
The scarred man's expression did not change in the slightest when he saw this. It was as if it was only right and proper that he accepted this reality.
"Get up, James."
Chung Shen-soo waved his hand. "From today onwards, you'll be a Prohibition Agent on the surface, but you'll work for me in secret."
"It's my honor."
James replied firmly, "Please tell me what you want."
"Very well. I want you to secretly gather information on other illicit alcohol businesses in Byron City. If necessary, destroy them directly … Of course, you'll have to discuss this with me in advance."
Chung Shen-soo said with satisfaction.
Because of James's previous persona, no one would believe that he had been bribed. They would only believe that he had been punched by the iron fist of justice!
In such a situation, he could only blame it on his bad luck and get rid of the Whisperer Bar's competitors.
…
The Whisperer Bar.
After finishing his work with Scar Face, Chung Shen-soo had to return to work as a bartender.
This time, there were two young girls sitting at the bar counter. They were Alice and Angel.
"I heard … you're the boss here?"
Angel's big eyes were filled with curiosity.
"Yes."
Chung Shen-soo smiled and nodded.
"That's too much, too much … You didn't even tell us before. You should at least treat us to a drink!"
Angel immediately gritted her teeth and said.
"No problem."
Chung Shen-soo wiped his hands with a white towel. The various liquids in the flask turned into colorful colors before finally falling into the glass.
On top of the white whipped cream, there was a bright red cherry, which looked very cute.
"Angel's Kiss!"
Chung Shen-soo smiled and said, "This cup is free!"
"It looks so cute!"
Julie sat lazily on the side and looked at the Kiss of Angel. She smiled and added, "Twelve zodiac signs?"
"Yes, the twelve constellations!"
"Then give me a glass as well." Julie stretched her body and looked at Chung Shen-soo.
She kissed the snow-white cream and narrowed her eyes, "Not a bad idea. Not only is the quality of the wine here good, but there are also some new things. I like them very much!"
Angel, who was at the side, swallowed a big mouthful of cream, and the corners of her mouth turned white.
"As long as the guest likes it."
Chung Shen-soo continued to wipe the wine glasses, doing his daily boring work.
"I told you last time that you have a pair of good hands. You are a good bartender material …" Julie seemed to be in the mood to talk today. She talked to Chung Shen-soo from time to time.
"I am the owner of a bookstore, and I also do some publishing work …"
Julie fumbled around in her handbag for a while and took out a yellowed note. "Earlier, when I was sorting out what seemed to be a bartender's notebook, I found a very interesting bartending recipe. I think you can give it a try!"
"Oh?"
Chung Shen-soo took it and looked at the messy handwriting on it. He frowned and said, "Orange juice, pineapple juice, grapefruit juice, sugar, red pomegranate candy, ice, cantaloupe wine, rum, orange wine … There are a lot of ingredients. The key is that the order and amount are not written clearly …"
"I think you are capable of restoring it!" Julie covered her mouth and chuckled.
"It's a bit of a challenge, but … I like it!"
Chung Shen-soo took the note and asked casually, "What's its name?"
"Desire of Pawn … It's colorful and can satisfy any taste. It's famous for making it irresistible!"
Julie answered.
"Desire of Pawn? What a strange name! "
Chung Shen-soo nodded, took out all kinds of ingredients, and began to try.
Alice and Angel seemed to be attracted as well. They watched him put all kinds of ingredients into the mixer.
After a while, a glass of turbid cocktail appeared on the bar counter.
"Obviously, this is not …" Julie shook her head and comforted him. "Trying a new recipe is not a simple thing. It requires constant failure and trial …"
"Hmph, it's easy to say. How much alcohol will be wasted in the process? It's all money!"
Angel glared at her and said with a tit for tat tone.
"Seven days!"
Julie did not even look at Angel. Instead, she stared at Chung Shen-soo. "If you can perfectly restore Desire of Pawn within a week, maybe I can give you a surprise!"
Her words seemed to have a hint of ambiguity. The men at the side all felt their blood boil.
"Then, for the surprise, I have to be serious."
Chung Shen-soo replied with a smile and secretly looked at the attribute window.
[Bartending: Novice]
'Obviously, this cocktail has high requirements for a bartender. Plus, the missing recipe makes it even more difficult … Although Li Wei's bartending skills are not bad, he's only at the novice level …'
'This Julie is not simple. Maybe she's the guide I've been looking for … So, it's not a big deal to invest a little in.'
[Consume 2 Tenxiu Point to upgrade the bartending skill?]
'Yes!'
[Bartending: Master]
Because it was only a life skill, two Tenxiu Point was enough to upgrade it to the Master level.
In an instant, Chung Shen-soo's head buzzed slightly. Countless inspirations appeared in his mind.
'The biggest difference between the Master level and the Novice level is not only the proficiency of the technique, but also the ability to comprehend by analogy, stimulate inspiration, and create more types of cocktails … It's not just learning from the predecessors.'
'This kind of Master level, in Eastern terms, is probably equivalent to a Grandmaster who has opened his own path? It's enough to create a new school of thought in the bartending industry … '
Chung Shen-soo's eyes lit up. He looked at the note again. The vague description on it made some sense.
Without saying a word, he continued to take out the ingredients and tried to mix.
"Huh?"
Julie, Angel, and Alice all sensed something different.
If Li Wei's movements before were full of smooth beauty and close to art, then now, his every move was art!
'This person …' A strange light flashed in Julie's eyes. She watched as Zhong Shenxiu, with a speed as smooth as flowing water, concocted a cocktail with a distinct color that resembled a rainbow after two failures.
"Desire of Pawn, please enjoy!"
