When Kieran came down from the train, he saw the Harvest Inn opposite the stop sign.
The red brick walls were stained with white putty. A square window shone through the blurry glass, showing the customers inside. At the top right corner of the arched door was a half-meter long iron pole as thick as a thumb. The signboard of the Harvest Inn was hung on top of the pole.
The signboard was oval and on one side, the name of the inn was written in golden paint. On the other side, there was a drawing of a big glass filled with beer.
The words were written in a cursive script that Kieran wasn't familiar with.
Even Kieran, who didn't know how to appreciate art, could see the skill behind the drawing. A few strokes were enough to make people think that the wine and foam were overflowing.
It was very vivid!
After another glance at the drawing of the big glass, Kieran knocked on the door.
Knock, Knock!
[The owner has allowed you to enter!]
[Continue to hide your face? Yes/No]
Kieran was stunned.
He thought the Harvest Inn was similar to Broker's secret bazaar, but he didn't expect it to be a player's room.
Still, it didn't stop Kieran from giving an affirmative answer.
"Yes!"
Although the inn should be one of Lawless's friends' in-game rooms, the signboard of the inn was enough to prove that Lawless and his friends weren't the only ones inside, there were other people as well.
Kieran instinctively kept his guard up against strangers.
The same went for the unfamiliar environment.
Kieran placed his right hand on the [Mi-02]'s handle and pushed it with his left hand.
Gak Tss!
The door before Kieran's eyes was opened with the unique sound of the wooden axle and the door frame rubbing against each other.
Immediately, a rich aroma of wine entered Kieran's nose, along with the warm laughter.
"2567, over here!"
Before Kieran could take a closer look at his surroundings, Lawless's loud voice came from inside the tavern.
Along with this loud shout, the surrounding noises fell into silence.
Dozens of curious, probing, and cold gazes landed on Kieran. At the same time, they landed on Kieran.
Although none of the gazes were malicious, Kieran, who had C- Perception Quotient, could clearly sense the scrutiny in every gaze.
It was as if he was going to choose the items on the shelves. This made Kieran feel very uncomfortable.
After a slight frown, Kieran quickly walked towards Lawless, who was sitting in front of the bar with a cigar in his mouth and waving at him.
"Is this a different kind of welcoming ceremony?"
Kieran sat on the round stool in front of the bar, looking at Lawless in a bad mood.
He was confident that Lawless's shout earlier was intentional.
As for why?
Based on Kieran's understanding of Lawless and what Blacksmith had told him, Kieran was certain that Lawless would be able to kill Lawless. Lawless was definitely not doing this for his own benefit.
It was just a simple prank.
That's right, a prank!
Before meeting Lawless, it was hard for Kieran to imagine that a strong, tall, rough looking man with sideburns and sideburns, who fit the image of a tough guy, would be a chatterbox who would brag and prank others from time to time.
"A rough and mature face and a childish heart are a perfect match!"
Kieran had a deeper understanding of Blacksmith's description at that moment.
"Of course not!
This is Rachel. This is 2567, my new friend!
2567, this is Rachel, the owner of Harvest Inn!
She's also a rare Master of Brewing and Cooking! "
Lawless laughed and shook his head, then pointed at the bartender behind the bar counter.
"Nice to meet you!"
Kieran sized up the bartender and didn't forget to greet him politely.
The man was wearing a pair of purple overalls and a white shirt, matching his bartender uniform. Like most people, he chose to hide his face. However, Kieran could tell that the bartender was a female player.
"Nice to meet you!
What a lucky boy!
To thank you for the business you've brought to me, this is on me! "
Rachel's voice had the mature tone of a woman. Her movements were even more professional, and before Kieran could react, she placed a glass of wine in front of Kieran.
[Name: Margaret]
[Type: Alcohol]
[Rarity: Fresh]
[Attributes: Recovers 50 HP within 5 seconds, Stamina recovery rate + 50%]
[Prerequisites: None]
[Remarks: This is a special cocktail made by player Rachel. The taste is extraordinary. It tastes extraordinary and has a special effect!]
…
Kieran couldn't help but look at Rachel in astonishment when he saw the details that popped up in his vision.
This was the first time he saw a food or drink item that could recover HP and Stamina since he left the newbie dungeon.
A Master of Brewing and Cooking?
Kieran unconsciously thought of Lawless's introduction.
Then, Kieran's attention was placed back on Rachel's words.
"Thank me for the business I've brought to you?"
Kieran asked.
"With this guy promoting you, it's hard for my business to not be busy!
"Ninety percent of the people who have appeared here are here for your weapons and equipment!"
Don't worry, it's only a small portion of them!
"A lot of suspicious people are still watching!"
Rachel glanced over at Lawless, who was grinning. Her tone was heavy with ridicule, but Lawless didn't mind at all. Instead, he said proudly.
"So, you should buy me a drink!"
Lawless demanded in a righteous manner.
"If you can clear your old debts, of course I can buy you a drink!"
Rachel looked at Lawless and said softly.
Lawless instantly shut his mouth.
Besides that, Kieran could clearly sense that Lawless was unnatural under Rachel's cold gaze. It was a kind of uneasiness, nervousness, and a little bit of fear.
Obviously, the so-called "old debts" were not about points or coins.
"Hey, 2567, the weather's not bad today!
Oh right, aren't you here to sell your equipment?
Rachel has her rules. Not here at the bar, let's go here! "
After two seconds of silence, Lawless suddenly thought of something and dragged Kieran to the table beside the bar.
"Coward!"
Rachel's cold voice clearly entered Kieran and Lawless' ears.
Kieran unconsciously looked at Lawless.
However, to Kieran's surprise, Lawless acted like he didn't hear Kieran's comment. All he did was urge him.
"Show me the screenshots of the weapons and equipment!
As for the price, make it match the market price! "
Lawless said as he messaged Kieran with a series of prices.
Kieran understood what Lawless meant, so he gave Lawless a knowing look.
Then, he set the screenshots of the four [Cobra-1] rocket launchers, two [BK-20] light machine guns, one [MG-08] heavy machine gun, the [Alloy Long Sword], four out of the six cracked [Soul Shard] s, and the [Viper-M1] sniper rifle into public view.
Below the screenshots were the prices.
[Cobra-1] 10000 Points, 4 Skill Points.
[BK-20] light machine gun 4,000 Points, 2 Skill Points.
[MG-08] heavy machine gun 10000 Points, 5 Skill Points.
[Alloy Long Sword] 1,000 Points.
[Soul Shard] 4 sold for 27500 Points, 6 Skill Points.
[Viper-M1] sniper rifle 8,000 Points, 4 Skill Points.
The prices were a little higher than Kieran had expected.
According to the four cracked [Soul Shard] s, it had already reached the price of the bazaar.
Especially the [MG-08] heavy machine gun and the [Viper-M1] sniper rifle. Although they had dual attributes, their prices had far exceeded Kieran's expectations.
Still, Kieran trusted Lawless' judgment.
What happened next proved that Kieran's decision to trust Lawless was correct.
Ten seconds later, the players who had been sizing up the items started to bid.
PS: Second update ~
Today, Kieran's house had been blacked out, so he had to shamelessly spend half a day at the coffee shop.
As he typed, he had to face the coffee shop owner's disdainful gaze. Being dispirited was exhausting!
