Just as Kieran's footsteps left the quiet Wallway Street, before he even reached the next block, his attention was attracted by a street between two tall buildings.
Ro Street had a neon sign on it. It was like an arch bridge that was nailed between the two tall buildings, and the players were passing by below.
Although the crowd didn't reach the point of rubbing shoulders, it was like a never-ending stream of people.
It was very lively.
It was also very prosperous.
Kieran was slightly stunned by the scene.
One must know that in the big city, aside from some guild gathering places, it was very rare to see such a scene. Even the Harvest Tavern was only lively on the inside and not on the streets. After all, most of the lone wolves were cold and quiet in front of strangers.
"Since when did such a lively street appear here?"
Kieran tried to recall.
However, he had no impression of this place.
In simple words, whenever he went out, he would go straight to the train, and when he went home, he would go straight to 13th Wallway Street. Although it was just a block away, he had never been there before.
Still, out of his vigilant habit, Kieran still sent a message to his friend, Lawless.
Lawless: The block next to Wallway Street?
Lawless: You are talking about Ro Street, right?
Lawless: That place was established a long time ago, before you came to the big city, Ro Street was there.
Lawless: But the reason why it's flourishing is because of the newbies.
Lawless: And the speed of the newbies is still increasing.
Lawless: Before this, there were a lot of newbies that appeared in front of Harvest Inn, but they didn't choose to enter. They just stared at us blankly, whispering from time to time, as if they were looking at some kind of monster.
Lawless: What a pain in the ass, and …
…
Without a doubt, the Lawless Way of Chattering had begun once again.
Kieran replied in the most direct way: Ignore.
This move worked every time.
Today was no exception.
Kieran came back to his senses and looked at Ro Street again.
With Lawless's words, the doubts in his heart were dispelled.
Of course, he still had to be cautious.
Therefore, when he approached the big neon sign on Ro Street, he glanced around from time to time, recording everything that appeared before his eyes.
People, objects, and buildings.
As his spirit grew stronger, it became easier for Kieran to do this.
Now that his Spirit had reached V-, it was as natural as eating and drinking.
It was just like how he had fried stinky tofu, fried fresh milk, grilled yogurt, grilled sausages, grilled cold noodles, grilled squid, and so on.
Holding a paper bag in his hand, Kieran chewed on a grilled sausage while looking at more stalls in the distance with great interest.
When he was outside Luo Street, he never thought that Luo Street would be run by small stalls. In his mind, the Harvest Tavern's business model was the most reasonable.
After all …
Safe!
However, the current business model.
He didn't hate it.
Kieran quickened his pace as he looked at the small stalls in the distance.
Then, his hand was filled with ice cream, pan-fried soup dumplings, red bean filled water chestnut cakes, and honey cake.
All of them cost him around 2 Points.
Including the food he had bought earlier.
It was cheap.
Of course, the cost wasn't paid directly to the stall owner, but to the player in the uniform beside him. The player would record the cost and pay the corresponding amount of food.
It was a little complicated.
However, it looked more fair and formal.
No doubt, it was organized.
But it had nothing to do with him.
A lot of bags of food had occupied his hands. Kieran looked at Ro Street, which wasn't even a tenth of the way there. He wisely chose to find a flight of stairs for people to rest, munching on the food in his hand while watching the lively crowd before him.
There was a feeling of strangely real.
No!
It wasn't unusually real!
Instead, it had always been real!
Kieran thought as he savored the taste of the ice cream.
"These stall owners should be players as well, but they are newbies who have just cleared the trial dungeon and mastered a certain level of cooking.
Using their cooking skills to exchange for a higher chance of clearing the next dungeon? "
Kieran shook his head in a noncommittal manner.
Everyone had their own choice.
The players before him didn't make a wrong choice either.
Just like the lone wolf players.
As a bystander, all Kieran had to do was watch and enjoy the snacks in his hand.
After quickly finishing the snacks in his hand, Kieran stood up and continued his tour of Ro Street.
His original plan of walking around Wallway Street on the first day …
He made some slight changes.
It was changed to understanding Ro Street on the first day.
Of course, some slight changes would change the overall situation.
After knowing there were a few decent restaurants in Ro Street, Kieran changed his plan of walking around Harvest Inn to understanding Ro Street on the second day.
When he knew there would be a cooking show in Ro Street on the third day, his original plan of visiting the famous buildings in the big city was changed to understanding Ro Street on the third day.
As for the fourth day?
He just wanted to look around.
What was wrong with staying in Ro Street?
…
Lawless met his friend on the sixth day.
His friend was sitting in Harvest Inn, drinking a free glass of lemonade — Kieran gave it to him and added extra honey into it.
"You've been at Ro Street lately?"
Lawless was lying on the bar counter, listening to Kieran's description in astonishment.
"Em.
It's a decent place. "
Kieran commented on the place in an impressive manner.
"It's not bad.
There will be some interesting events here from time to time.
There was a big eating competition yesterday.
"I wonder who got first place."
I heard the prizes are Points and special dishes. "
Lawless said as he wiped the glass.
"Em.
It's not bad. "
Kieran took a sip of the lemonade and placed the glass in front of Lawless, mumbling in a muffled voice.
Lawless took the bottle and poured some ice water into Kieran's glass.
"What did you say?"
Lawless asked as he poured the water.
"Nothing.
Where's Rachel?
Why did they give you so many days off? "
Kieran shifted the topic.
It wasn't that he didn't want to tell Lawless, but he knew how big his friend's mouth was. If he still wanted to join the next eating competition, he'd better not tell Lawless.
He didn't care about the 100 Points reward.
But the dishes were really good, almost catching up to Starbeck's standards.
"Six days ago was a holiday.
Now it's … "
"Overtime."
Lawless used a reserved adjective.
"Overtime?
You got caught mixing wine? "
Kieran was stunned for a while before he reacted to the situation.
"Em.
Rachel broke three of my ribs and warned me that if I touch her wine again, she'll crush my * * *. "
Lawless nodded and said in a bitter tone.
But before his words subsided, Lawless snickered.
Lawless was like a child, showing off to Kieran.
"Actually, she only found two bottles, there's one more that she didn't find. It means that my wine changing technique is really improving, and one day, I'll reach the point where no one knows …"
Lawless said excitedly, but he suddenly felt something was wrong with his friend's aura and a chill ran down his spine.
Lawless instinctively turned around.
Then, he saw Rachel.
"Hey, Rachel, I'm going to clean the floor."
After saying that, Lawless ran out of the bar counter.
"Em, go ahead.
Remember, I'll teach you the bone-breaking and egg-bursting techniques later. "
Lawless closed his legs and ran even faster after he ran out of the bar counter.
Kieran glanced over his friend before his eyes landed on Rachel. He slightly frowned.
