Chapter Nine, Newcomers to the Fish Pond

Just be yourself, and that will be enough. It wouldn't be surprising if one day you and the neighbor, Old Wang, tie the knot here.

Although they are adorned with alluring smoky makeup, their appearance clearly indicates that they are male, each possessing an Adam's apple

The option has been activated, and a prompt box will appear as soon as it is noticed

Buddy, he is not. Your mother really cannot figure out who your father is, but I am quite sure that your father is a Black man

There is a good hiding place, but Gu He always feels a bit self-pitying

The outfit is a red sportswear set for middle-aged individuals, featuring the two large characters "Dongtu" printed on the chest

The muscular men cast a somewhat ambiguous gaze at him, as if hinting at something

Number of available contacts: 1

"It's not that serious." Kayo Kumiko noticed Gu He’s nervousness and said gently, "Your primary role is to be an ordinary host at the establishment. When customers need your company, you should be there, and then learn from Lao Fan in all aspects."

It's not too bad, but the aftereffects of the alcohol are quite strong. I feel a bit dizzy, and it seems like I'm having hallucinations...

One must keep their tail hidden; if those two, especially Old Fan, find out that he might be having mental issues, it would be disastrous

Looking deeper into my mind, I could still see that electronic panel there, but the hazy light and shadow had changed somewhat

Gu He thought, well, it is he who has a narrow perspective

Especially in the City of Flowing Light, there exists a unique set of rules on the streets; otherwise, how could the street rats survive in such a world

"What did you do in the Voodoo Ruins before, and how do you know so much?" Vanderboeck pressed further.

The database still cannot be opened. What on earth is that thing referring to as "program data"?

The psychological differences among individuals give rise to various preferences and inclinations, and Liuguang City is an extremely diverse place

Only work as a cowherd over at Licai; you can do anything over here by the fish pond

I never expected that after a sudden time travel, I would receive blessings again

Gu He came to her senses and saw that the metal door connecting the fish pond and the Li Cai Club on the small corridor had been opened. A short and plump cook and a tall, fashionable beauty approached; they were Fan Debao and Cai Yin Kumiko.

I have a few more questions. However, Vanderbauw asked, "Weren't you called Amin before? Why do you call yourself Gu He now?"

Is it a lot? Gu He retorted, I have been mingling on the streets since I was young, doing everything, so I understand a little bit of everything.

Good morning, Xiao He

"It is normal to have hallucinations; it will be fine in a couple of days," Vanderbau said with an unusual expression. "Have you experienced hallucinations?"

"No, it's just a metaphor," Gu He quickly replied

He took a sip of goji berry water to calm his nerves, and gradually began to relax.

Gu He thought for a while, looking very realistic; it would be best for her to conduct some psychological self-assessment to clarify what was going on

That was close, really close, I almost fell into the trap...

He seemed to see Old Fan wielding a whip, shouting to hurry and create surplus value

Gu He saw that there were four or five Black individuals, all sporting green-blue or red-purple pigtails, dressed in sleeveless women's T-shirts and shorts, revealing arms and thighs covered in tattoos, their physiques robust as if they were members of a gaming gang

Oh my brother

Van der Baal spoke somewhat reluctantly, clearly expressing disdain for his average qualifications

Gu He smiled without speaking, serving them wine and dishes, and attending to her own duties.

Did he already sign a contract of servitude at the moment he was taken away by Miss Caiyin yesterday

He quickly changed the subject: "Were there any results from last night's talent test?"

I no longer wish to use my previous nickname; Gu He is just starting out

Hmm, Xiao He, you indeed possess a unique aura, one that is not typically found in ordinary stray dogs

The fish pond izakaya is open for business

He set his ambition early on not to be an employee, and opened his own psychological clinic, which has been quite successful.

His response is absolutely reasonable; street people do not represent a lack of ability or experience. On the contrary, the streets are full of extraordinary individuals

Thank you, Boss Fan, thank you, Boss Caiyin... So what will my job entail, am I a cowherd

Oh. Gu He nodded, and then thought to himself, what is the difference between this and what Old Fan said?

He was not very satisfied, but as a refined person, he did not want to argue with the fatigued and irritable Lao Fan, who had just held a chef's knife. Therefore, he could only take a cloth and busy himself, going with the flow.

Van der Baal's face revealed a fierce expression, "To be precise, it is you who will do whatever I ask you to do."

At that moment, a group of guests entered the tavern, and Old Fan said to him: "Go greet the guests"

"What are you dazed for?" Van der Baal coldly urged Gu He, "You don't think that the cowherd only serves female guests, do you?"

Gu He furrowed her brows, hesitating to speak. This old fellow is already thinking about how to exploit him even before it has begun

"From now on, be more alert. The cost of the thermos cup you used will be deducted from your wages," Vanderbao said to Gu He in a coarse manner, which could be considered a reluctant agreement to this recruitment.

Old Fan looked at him with a very unfriendly gaze, as if it were all his fault

Lao Fan appeared very haggard, with a pair of large dark circles under his eyes, which were also filled with bloodshot veins. Most alarming were the several prominent veins on his forehead that were pulsating erratically, as if they might burst at any moment

In the fish pond izakaya, Gu He lay exhausted on the wooden sofa, finding this kind of "contact" truly mentally draining, feeling as if his body had been emptied out

Your talent is between the third and fourth gears, so let's reluctantly consider you as a fourth gear

Gu He scratched his head, what did Old Fan do last night? He came back from Li Cai's place, could it be that he danced with the cows and had a great time all night?

However, Kumi Sakai's smile grew even brighter as she clapped a few times, "This talent is already sufficient, and there is potential for development! Xiao He, I have discussed it with Old Fan and we have decided to keep you working at the fish pond for now"

Although the overdrive gear is indeed an illusion, Gu Hesong let out a sigh of relief, realizing that his life was temporarily spared

Don't look at me, my friend, it's not going to happen. The cowherd sells his art, not his body, and even if he were to sell his body, it would only be to beautiful clients. No, it won't be truly appealing...

"Good morning to both of you." Gu He rose from the sofa, and Miss Caiyin remained radiant, her beautiful kimono adorned with large floral prints.

My father is a gigolo, you look a bit like my father

Compensation! Gu He feels as if there is a thorn in her throat, and we haven't even discussed the compensation yet!

After wiping the bar counter, I have to go wipe the dining table. Only by stealing a moment of leisure amidst the busyness can I sip a bit of goji berry water and catch a few glimpses of the television

This group of muscular men in drag, who are Black, all displayed a peculiar glint in their eyes as they sat down at the bar, laughing and joking with one another

Wipe down the entire bar counter

What is all this...

Unlike Lao Fan, Caiyin Kumiko is increasingly satisfied with Gu He, "This is also one of the reasons I value you."

He was studying when he suddenly heard the creaking sound of a door opening

Indeed, one of them spoke up in a deep voice: "Old Fan, isn't anyone going to greet us, these damn black bastards?"

Gu He's tone was natural; dealing with Lao Fan was much easier than handling that other persona.

Contact 1, Note Nickname: None

Meanwhile, Vanderbau stepped briskly towards the door and pulled open the glass door

Welcome to the fish pond. Gu He displayed a professional smile as she approached the guests, asking, "Is there anything you need?"

"Alright, Old Fan," she persuaded again, "We have finally managed to find out the details, there is no problem, let's just go with Xiao He."

The bustling scene of Shouhui Street and the various clamorous sounds immediately entered the shop

Van der Baal issued the first work instruction and walked towards the back of the bar; meanwhile, Caiyin Kumiko was heading back to Rika's side

The current number of shareable contacts that can be created is: 0

How are you feeling? Miss Caiyin asked

Before long, he was exhausted to the point of near collapse; he is more suited for a job that involves sitting on the sofa and chatting with people

He is the resident gigolo at the fish pond. Vanderbao, behind the bar, reminded, "Today is a special event for newcomers, and there is no service charge for gigolos."

Then you must work hard. Ayane Kumiko encouraged, "Graduate from Old Fan as soon as possible and become an extraordinary gigolo soon!"
