Chapter 2, the fish pond izakaya on Shouhui Street
I sense that he must possess extraordinary talent; moreover, he is calm, observant, and articulate, capable of being a gigolo.
There are also women dressed in flamboyant outfits, whose facial features seem to have undergone cosmetic surgery, resembling the appearance of a snake-like face
This is even more incredible; what if that is a video tape of a strong man wrestling
Having said that, the radiant Kayo Kumiko walked through the narrow passage and opened the metallic door, revealing a scene of resplendent gold and brilliant colors that flooded into Gu He’s view
Compared to the game assistance on this street that was returned by Miss Ayane, this place is still better
She clasped her hands together and bowed to Old Fan, as if praying to the gods, saying, "I truly feel that I can do it, could you please take the trouble to test it for me?"
Boy, show me the television, do not miss a single glance
Moreover, upon reflection, one will realize that the cowherd is essentially a charming male psychologist who excels in selling alcohol, performing arts, and even himself
Van der Baak said nothing, merely walked with a wooden expression to a large wine cabinet in the kitchen, took out a bottle of corked old wine, poured a glass of it, returned, and handed it to Gu He, saying
In the fish pond izakaya, only two men remain: one tall and thin, the other short and stout
It is not that simple; there are truly few talented individuals among the stray dogs with no connections or influence, and even if one wishes to be casual, it is not something that can be done easily
However, precisely because it is so rare, ordinary people cannot attain it. I see that you, Xiao He, have potential, but it is not certain that you will succeed
One can clearly see a middle-aged man beyond the cowboy door on the side of the bar
A light drizzle is falling from the night sky, and the neon signs and old-fashioned lanterns of Shuhe Street dye the drifting raindrops a dark red. The crowded passersby either hold umbrellas or let the rain pour down on them. The rain is chaotic, with various signs such as "Elephant Bar," "Hell Games," "Star-Grade Cosmetic Surgery," and "Paradise Club" all jumbled together, blending into the disorderly buildings shrouded in the darkness in the distance
Come, this way" she said, her graceful figure swaying as she continued to walk
That is merely the requirement for an ordinary host, but you are to become the man of the Night King! Therefore, you must be a special host
A good host should be handsome, strong in physique, eloquent, knowledgeable, empathetic, capable of winning people's favor, and skilled in promoting beverages These are all qualities you must possess, however
The night rain and the neon lights cast a mesmerizing and intoxicating glow on her smile
The more I listen, the more I feel a bit scared about what they mean by a special host; does it have two male organs or none at all
Van der Baal, expressionless like a large plastic human model, scrutinized Gu He and said, "Is this the wild dog?"
Something is off, something is not quite right
Well, he held his breath and tilted his head back, gulping down the drink in one go
Drink this cup of wine in one go, without wasting a single drop
He thought he was entering the club, but instead he found himself wandering into a narrow alley beside it, arriving at the back of the club building and stepping through the door of a small shop that had a sign reading "Opening Soon"
Gu He saw that besides the two of them, there was only one other person in the store, mixing drinks in the open kitchen behind the bar
"Old Fan..." she lowered her voice, "After searching for so long, we can no longer search blindly. Once we find a candidate, we still need to observe, nurture, and adjust. The situation over there is urgent, and we do not have much time left. Perhaps Xiao He is the missing piece of the puzzle"
The old curtain on the shop door and the malfunctioning flickering neon sign at the door both read "Fish Pond Izakaya"
However, the atmosphere this year is somewhat tense, and matters regarding legal status cannot be rushed. But while you are here, no one will come to apprehend you
Ordinary individuals, at most, reach the second tier; only those who can attain the third tier are considered to have crossed the threshold; those who can reach the super-speed tier are exceedingly rare
Van der Baak took the remote control and turned on the television, starting this year's "Supermodel Contest"
Gu He was already feeling dizzy, as those bikini supermodels showcased their perfect body curves, making him feel increasingly uncomfortable
Van der Baak spoke while intently observing the unbearably hot Gu He
Van der Baal said ominously, "This is the seventh level of neural activity speed"
What exactly is talent? He held the wine glass in both hands, his throat moved, yet he still could not bring himself to drink.
The crimson curtains and lanterns swayed gently all around, complementing the various decorative paintings on the walls
How special can it be, after all
Unleash your potential and see how far you can go
Gear 1, Gear 2, Gear 3, Gear 4, Gear 5, Gear 6, Overdrive
The izakaya's main hall is not large; on one side is the bar counter, while the other side features some small dining tables, and in the corner, there is a wooden sofa
Kumiko Ayane leads the way ahead, and those entering and exiting the club respectfully call her "Mother" before passing by
No, Gu He hesitated as he glanced at Van Der Bao's sparse crew cut... ? ... Hair enhancement ?
Van der Baal. "This is Ayane Kumiko, the manager of the fish pond and a partner at the L彩 Club."
"Great! When have I ever made a losing deal? Even if he lacks that talent, there are ways to recoup the money." Kayo Kumiko said with great anticipation, "Let's test it tonight!"
"Do you really want me to force you to drink?" Van der Baal said in a deep voice
I can only tell you for now that this type of cowherd is quite different from ordinary cowherds and ordinary people, possessing extraordinary special talents and abilities, specifically catering to special guests
Follow me to learn, first learn not to be verbose. This is a tool to test whether you possess extraordinary talent
One of the signs radiates a brilliant light of blue and purple, "Licolor Club"
You need not worry about these matters; just focus on working hard alongside Lao Fan! Alright, I will head over to the club now
The advertisement screen beneath the sign continuously displays the faces of various young and handsome men
Licolor, a renowned host club.
Kumiko Ayane is uncertain, "I still need to observe further, so I will take you to meet someone who can assess whether you possess that extraordinary talent. If not, you can only be an ordinary gigolo, which is not bad either."
Extraordinary Special Cowherd
Gu He only saw that the glass was filled with a viscous liquid, with bubbles churning inside, sometimes red and sometimes black. It was unclear how many mixtures had been added, and it emitted a strong and peculiar odor
An old wooden box television is placed beside the bar, with audio equipment featuring interfaces such as karaoke located beneath the television box, allowing customers to sing their hearts out
Kumiko Ayane glanced back at him, once again revealing that mysterious and inexplicable gaze
Van der Bauden immediately showed a displeased expression, "Even if you don't have it, you can still nourish your body. Drinking it can help you gain muscle and improve hair growth, transforming from a dog into a cow"
Let us go, follow me
I will give him a chance. Vanderbauw took out an empty glass wine cup, and said, "The cost of this material will be charged to your account"
His throat felt a burning sensation, and he quickly experienced a feeling as if his entire body were on fire, causing him to scratch his ears and cheeks in distress
Gu He was a bit bewildered by her words, as Zhuang Ge had previously mentioned that Miss Caiyin was looking for special talents
"Is this talent test you mentioned legitimate..." Gu He was astonished, what kind of crude method is this?
Gu He was calm; it was his lack of insight that prevented him from seeing through it
Gu He was already feeling a bit dizzy, as if he had been drinking to the point of losing consciousness, and Lao Fan's cryptic words only added to his confusion
A sparse crew cut, a barrel-like stout body, a large face with a thick neck, a pair of flip-flops, and a deep blue chef's uniform with an apron, the uniform printed with a line of text: "A generous heart leads to a plump body"
Oh. Gu He responded in a seemingly understanding manner.
However, casually capturing a wild dog like this is not only reckless but also very dangerous
Gu He was at a loss. Although Van der Baal was dressed in a way that suggested he was carefree and portly, this old fellow was clearly quick-tempered, and saying a few more words would likely result in a beating.
Both alcohol and beautiful women are meant to stimulate your nerves, testing the speed of your nerves, which is a combination of your physical and mental talents, to see how far your limits can go; that point is your extraordinary talent level
At this moment, Caiyin Kumiko turned around and patted his shoulder, "Xiao He, for the time being, you can stay at the fish pond. I will help you clear the debts you have with the gaming guild, and I will find a way to get you a legal identity.
This thing does not look like something that can be used for drinking
Gu He walked while glancing at the advertisement screen displaying various female clothing models and flamboyant hairstyles, feeling anxious about how she would be perceived
Miss Caiyin, could you elaborate on your plans for me
Although Kumi Ayane has high hopes, Vanderbau is still reluctant, stating, "The talent is not obvious; at most, he is an ordinary gigolo"
No, just this one, just this one, I prefer safety
But he still felt a bit unsettled, "Miss Caiyin, I would like to ask, why do you have a director's viewfinder hanging on you?"
Beauty is merely a natural way to activate and accelerate your nerves, primal yet effective and safe. If you find this approach lacking in sophistication, I have other tapes here that are strange, dangerous, and indescribable, with consequences that are difficult to predict
Kayo Kumiko mentioned the viewfinder, pulling out its telescopic zoom rod, extending it further and further, and cheerfully said: "Fashion decoration, too, is a kind of symbol; the cowherd can see into others' hearts, and it can also be extended like this"
He felt that there seemed to be a hint of strangeness on Vanderbau's plastic-mold-like chubby face
"Old Fan, what do you think of Xiao He?" she immediately asked after finishing her introduction
Uh, what is this
There is a corridor over there, at the end of which is a closed metal door. Behind the door, it is evident that it connects to the Lichai Club. From this side, one can faintly hear the lively voices, the sounds of singing and dancing, and the laughter of women coming from that direction
Gu He was paying attention to her surroundings while listening to their conversation
Gu He was standing at the entrance of the club, staring, as if everyone had lost their senses
V-neck, sparkling jewelry, leopard print fur coat, among these well-dressed gentlemen, some possess a soft demeanor, while others exude a strong masculinity
The door quickly closed again, isolating the clamor of the club on the other side
"Old Fan! I may have found the seedlings we need!" Caiyin Kumiko exclaimed as soon as she entered the room
Do not do this, the Cowherd is already special enough, how much more special can it be
This wine... seems to have a problem...
Only those who reach the fourth gear can have a neural speed that surpasses that of ordinary extraordinary talents, thus qualifying to become a doll practitioner. Male dolls are referred to as extraordinary gigolos.
