Soon, a month had passed.
The Whisperer Bar.
Zhong Shenxiu awoke from her meditative state of roaming the spiritual world. She made herself a cup of Bloody Mary and slowly savored it.
The vastness of the Spiritual Realm was beyond his imagination.
After passing through the Pure White Wilderness, there was still a long way to go before he reached the Red River.
Moreover, the description in "Sleepwalking" was also very vague, and there were even parts that were outdated, causing him to take many detours and even encounter several dangers.
Fortunately, with the ability of the Herder and the blood wine he made in time, he managed to get through the daunting experience without any mishaps.
After a few recent deals, Julie finally relented and wanted to introduce him to a mysterious circle.
This made Chung Shen-soo look forward to it.
Apart from that, although Cynthia went hysterical several times in the face of his conditions, he eventually gave in and spat out the bootlegging business in Byron City.
This attitude made Chung Shen-soo wonder if Cynthia felt some kind of great pressure and challenge, which was why he was so desperate for power and compromised.
Fortunately, James kept an eye on him at all times, so he did not lose control.
However, the explosive increase in shipments not only made the pharmacy overrun every day, but also made Jones, who was in charge of the candy business, so busy that he rarely went back to his home at 25 Merlin Avenue.
This miserable young man seemed to have recovered from the blow.
In this regard, Chung Shen-soo could only say that career was the best medicine for a man.
But what made Chung Shen-soo most happy was something else.
"Yesterday, I had more than ten thousand dollars in liquid funds. Then, Li Wei's obsession was completed … This guy is only interested in cash. Doesn't he know that bars and channels are the real assets?"
He complained and glanced at his stats window.
[Name: Levi Mojito (Chung Shen-soo)]
[Level: Distinguished]
[Bartending: Master]
[Ancient Sumerian: Proficient]
[Tenxiu Point: 193 (1%)]
[Door of All Doors: Available]
…
"Now that I've activated the Return Option, my restrictions have lessened significantly … Apart from that, my Tenxiu Point hasn't increased by much. Is it because my influence on this world is still too small?"
Chung Shen-soo pondered for a moment.
He did not intend to return now.
After all, there were Immortals in this world. That kind of endless life was something he wanted to explore.
Even though this power system was flawed, it didn't stop him from giving it a try.
Even if he gave up in the end, he could still hunt a high-level creature and make up for the External Alchemy Method.
"Other than that, it's Tenxiu Point."
Chung Shen-soo was somewhat stingy with his Tenxiu Point. After all, he didn't know how much Tenxiu Point he needed in the Origin World to forcefully break through the flaws of the External Alchemy Method and form the Yuan Dan.
While thinking, he put on a black gentleman's suit, a black bowler hat, and a short black cloak.
If he added a pair of deerskin gloves, a cane, and a pipe in his mouth, he would look very much like a detective from the Victorian era.
He dressed himself meticulously, like a gentleman going to a ball.
Finally, Chung Shen-soo took out a silver mask and covered his face from the nose up.
After doing all this, he walked out of the bar from the back door and looked at the dark sky. Unsurprisingly, he saw Julie.
This lady was wearing a ladylike cake-dress, and her face was covered with a veil. She complained, "This is the first time I know that dressing up for men is so time-consuming."
"After all, it's the first time I'm attending a gathering.
It's better this way, "replied Chung Shen-soo with a smile, stroking the black metal cane in his hand.
"Looks like you've covered yourself well. That's good too … Some of the people in our gathering know each other, and some don't know each other's identities. This will help us protect ourselves."
Julie said as she led the way.
She chanted a few syllables, and a layer of darkness suddenly appeared, surrounding the two of them.
Along the way, there were occasionally a few pedestrians, but they ignored the two of them who were dressed as if they were going to a ball.
Gradually, the two of them came to the Count area.
Up ahead, there was a villa with a single door and a courtyard, and intense percussion music came from it.
Chung Shen-soo was a little surprised. "Did we choose this place for our gathering?"
"No, it's just that we can use these idiots to cover our tracks."
Julie walked to a corner and opened the manhole cover. "We change the location every time we meet, and this time we chose this place."
Chung Shen-soo shrugged and followed her into the sewer.
After a disgusting journey, he felt that he should be right under the villa where the party was being held.
Faint vibrations kept coming, and the field of vision before him widened, and an open area appeared.
In the center of the area, a lamp was lit, emitting a green light, making some of the figures look very creepy.
"The sewer is full of poisonous gas, and some of the gas can even explode, so we can't use open fire …"
Julie explained and joined the circle with Chung Shen-soo.
At this time, there were not many people who came to the party, only about seven or eight.
Most of the tall, short, fat, and skinny figures chose to cover their faces. Under the gloomy green light, they were like ghosts and monsters.
'This looks very much like a gathering of evil organizations …'
Chung Shen-soo silently complained. Standing next to Julie, he heard her voice. "Everyone, let me introduce a newcomer. Although he has not officially met you, you have already experienced the effect of his blood wine … Let us welcome him."
After saying that, Julie was the first to applaud. Other than her, there were very few people who responded, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
'The most terrible thing is the sudden silence …'
Chung Shen-soo took a step forward, glanced at the mysterious people, and said in a hoarse and low voice, "Hello everyone, you can call me Bartender!"
Giving a code name was also the key point that Julie had told him before.
"Then let us introduce ourselves first, I am 'Rose'!" Julie smiled.
A petite woman next to her said, "Molly … I have always wanted to thank you, Bartender, your potions have helped me a lot!"
"Shadow!" A humanoid figure hidden in the shadows spoke slowly.
"I am Butcher! I have to say, Bartender, your taste is great, Bloody Mary is much more delicious than Blood Therapy, but the price is too high, 150 USD per bottle, I can't bear it … "
This Mr. Butcher was tall, had a rough voice, and spoke a little rudely. He seemed to be a low-level manual worker, but this might just be his disguise.
However, when hearing the price, Chung Shen-soo secretly glanced at Julie, and found that the woman looked away guiltily.
