Chapter 92

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 lifelike!

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 would be 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. All of them landed on Kieran.

Even though none of the gazes had any malicious intent, Kieran's C- Intuition allowed him to feel the scrutiny from every single gaze.

It was as if the gazes were picking through the shelves. It made Kieran feel awkward.

He frowned slightly before he quickly walked towards Lawless, who was sitting in front of the bar, smoking a cigar and waving at him.

"Is this some kind of welcoming ceremony?"

Kieran sat down on the round stool in front of the bar and looked at Lawless in annoyance.

He was confident that Lawless had shouted at him on purpose.

But why?

Based on Kieran's understanding of Lawless and what Blacksmith had told him, Lawless was definitely not doing it for benefits.

It was just a 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 Grand Master in brewing and cooking! "

Lawless shook his head with a laugh before he pointed at the bartender behind the bar counter.

"Hello!"

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. Kieran could tell that the bartender was a female player.

"Hello!

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 special effects!]

...

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 Grand Master in brewing and cooking?

Kieran unconsciously thought of Lawless's introduction from before.

Then, Kieran shifted his attention back to what the man had said.

"Thank me for the business I've brought to you?"

Kieran asked.

"With this guy promoting you, it would be hard for my business to not be busy!

Ninety percent of the people who have appeared in my shop are here for your weapons and equipment!

"Also, don't worry, this is only a small portion of people!"

"A lot of suspicious people are still watching!"

Rachel shot a glance at Lawless, who was grinning from ear to ear. Her tone was thick with ridicule, but Lawless did not seem to mind at all. Instead, he said in a delighted tone.

"So, you should buy me a drink!"

Lawless said in a righteous tone.

"If you can clear your old debts, of course I'll buy you a drink!"

Rachel looked at Lawless and said calmly.

Lawless instantly shut his mouth.

On top of 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 is not bad today!

Oh, right, aren't you here to sell your equipment?

Rachel has her rules, we can't do it here, let's do it here! "

After two seconds of silence, Lawless suddenly thought of something and dragged Kieran to the table beside the counter.

"Coward!"

Rachel's cold voice clearly entered Kieran and Lawless's ears.

Kieran unconsciously looked at Lawless.

However, what surprised Kieran was that Lawless acted as if he had not heard Kieran's comment. He just urged Kieran.

"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 and looked at Lawless with a knowing gaze.

He then 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.

He even listed the prices below the screenshots.

[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 price was higher than Kieran had expected.

According to the price of the four cracked [Soul Shard] s, it had already reached the price of the secret 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, the veteran player's judgment.

What happened next proved that Kieran's decision to trust Lawless was not wrong.

Ten seconds later, the players who had been sizing up the items started to bid.

PS: Second update ~

His house had been blacked out that day, so he had to shamelessly spend half a day at the coffee shop.

As he typed, he had to face the disdainful gaze of the coffee shop owner. It was exhausting to be depressed.
