Chapter 10, A Unique Taste

"It's alright, let it be on me!" Gu Fei smiled. The monsters he was fighting were of a much higher level than those targeted by Fireball, so his earnings were naturally much more abundant.

Oh... I forgot! Fireball slapped his forehead, "Had I known this, I wouldn't have invited you for drinks. It cost me one silver coin!" Fireball lamented. One silver coin is equivalent to 100 copper coins, which in the early stages of the game could be used to buy a basic weapon from the blacksmith. Accumulating that through monster hunting would take quite some time.

Suddenly, the door creaked open with a "squeak," and the entire tavern instantly fell into a profound silence, with the remaining scattered sounds all coming from those with their backs to the door, such as Gu Fei.

Tavern, auction house, bank. Three important buildings are distributed in three directions of the square

The Sword Demon was completely entranced, tightly clutching that gold coin, as if he were on the verge of mastering the Great Strength Diamond Finger technique.

The young lady approached with delicate steps, and the fiery ball appeared quite excited. He and Gu Fei were seated at a four-person table, but only two were currently occupied, which could be considered a favorable situation. However, to their surprise, the young lady's gaze merely swept over each empty seat before swiftly passing by Gu Fei and the fiery ball.

Ah! It is quite fragrant! Gu Fei's first thought, and then realizing it, he quickly took a step back, only to see the young woman gazing at him with flirtatious eyes: "What are you following me for?"

"A game... how could there be a scent of perfume?" Gu Fei looked at him with disdain

That fool, Sword Demon! Gu Fei cursed inwardly, still busy picking at the gold coins, completely oblivious to the fact that the Frost's Remembrance he had placed on the table had already been casually taken away by someone.

The Sword Demon was taken aback; he certainly knew that he did not recognize this girl. He raised his head, ready to speak, but saw the girl smile at him. Then she pointed at his feet and said, "Your money has fallen!"

Oh, thank you! The Sword Demon instinctively bent down to pick it up, while contemplating using this as an excuse to invite the young lady for a drink

Gu Fei smiled wryly: "Have you forgotten? My name, like yours, was given by someone else"

The tavern continued to be bustling with activity

"Hi, Fireball!" Gu Fei waved at him. Suddenly, with a loud sound, a fireball blazed fiercely in front of him. The surrounding players were momentarily stunned, but once they understood what was happening, they all burst into laughter

No one would have expected that such a young lady would do something like this. If it weren't for witnessing it with his own eyes, Gu Fei would not have believed it.

This guy took a detour and ended up returning even before I did!" Gu Fei said

"She has a great figure, is beautiful, and has such a lovely voice! Ah! I think I have already fallen in love with her," Huoqiu murmured. "Drunk Brother, you... ah?" As Huoqiu turned to speak to Gu Fei after the girl left the bar, he found that Gu Fei had suddenly stood up and quickly chased after her

The fireball eagerly awaited but ended up empty-handed, and finally sniffed and said: "Wow, it smells so good"

Oh... his level is about the same. "Fireball said, pouring wine for Gu Fei, "Come on, Drunk Brother, try this wine. With a name like yours, you must enjoy drinking, right?"

At this moment, the Sword Demon also noticed Gu Fei sitting over here. Their eyes met, and the Sword Demon nodded at Gu Fei, as if greeting him.

In the game, the equipment automatically adjusts to the most suitable state, thus perfectly accentuating each person's physique. The individual before me has a slender and well-proportioned figure, with curves that are flawlessly shaped. There is not a trace of excess fat on their body, which explains why everyone in the bar is left speechless. Such a physique is perfect and beyond reproach

The Sword Demon sat at a two-person table, with only himself present, leaving one seat vacant.

"What is it?" The young lady was clearly pretending to be clueless

At that time, while practicing martial arts, he consumed a great deal of energy every day. Gu Fei adhered to the principle of eating less but more frequently. Whenever he had an extra meal, that unfortunate child from his second uncle's family would always appear: "Hey, Xiao Fei, why did you drop your food on the ground again? Hurry and pick it up, or Uncle San will see it and beat you up again"

Oh! Little Gu hurriedly crouched down to pick it up. By the time he climbed back onto the table, his bowl of delicious food had long since disappeared along with that unfortunate child

The entire venue remained silent. Did these two know each other? Everyone was wondering. Beauty and the Beast. This was the thought of the majority, while a small minority thought of flowers being placed in cow dung

The tavern was actually quite crowded, and at this time, there were no empty tables, with only one or two seats available at a few tables. The male players at these tables displayed excited expressions, yet no one dared to speak up and extend an invitation, as the one who sticks out gets shot. At this moment, anyone who rashly spoke up would become the enemy of the people. Even if there was a temporary opportunity to admire the beauty up close, one could not guarantee that they wouldn't be bound and thrown into the moat with the books as soon as they stepped outside. In order to build a harmonious society, everyone remained quiet, waiting for the beautiful girl to make her own choice.

"Playing dumb? It's the dagger you just took from the tavern: Frost's Remembrance!" Gu Fei said

Gu Fei turned around under the intense gaze of everyone, and he saw a young woman

Everyone's breath came to a halt, and most were left puzzled: What a peculiar taste this girl has! In terms of appearance, the ugliest person in the entire tavern must be the one she has chosen now, right

You are truly my idol!" Gazing at Gu Fei's figure as he rushed out of the tavern, Huo Qiu was left dumbfounded

Gu Fei smiled faintly, too lazy to pay him any mind. At this moment, the young woman had already crossed most of the tavern and, seeing that there were no available seats, seemed ready to exit through another door. Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks, pausing beside the Sword Demon.

Gu Fei stepped forward and pushed open the door of the tavern

On the way back to Cloud City, the number of players gradually increased from a distance. It was evident that most players were not yet focused on leveling up; they were still immersed in the novelty of the holographic simulation game. When two people stood together, they would shake hands and pat each other's shoulders, both feeling an immense sense of freshness

How many years has it been? Whenever Gu Fei thinks of this matter, he feels a sense of unresolved grievance waiting to be cleared. Today, he has finally encountered it.

A gleaming gold coin fell at the feet of the Sword Demon

The young woman was taken aback. It was not that she was pretending to be foolish; she simply did not expect the person who came running after her to be the one seeking the lost item. She thought it was some bored individual with ulterior motives trying to strike up a conversation with her. She had quite a bit of confidence in her own beauty.

How? I did not understand the fireball and the illustrations in the book

Oh, isn't that... Gu Fei suddenly spotted someone

The purple robe looked somewhat familiar, but Gu Fei could not be certain it was the same one he had seen on the hillside. On his way back to the city, he had already encountered several similar outfits, which were clearly the basic gear of a certain profession

Gu Fei returned to Cloud City, inquiring with Huo Qiu about the direction to the tavern, and proceeded towards the square of Cloud City

Gu Fei was deep in thought when he reached the mouth of the alley. As he turned around, his nose brushed against another's.

The lighting in the room was not as dim as Gu Fei had imagined, but rather a soft and natural warm tone. There were many players in the tavern, all in high spirits; those who would typically come to spend money on drinks after feeling down were not present at this time. The wooden shelves at the bar were stacked with a dazzling array of bottles, and the NPC responsible for serving completely ignored the guests' attitudes, greeting each person with a gentle smile.

Everyone, including the Sword Demon, looked down.

Although Sword Demon is a top-tier online gaming expert, he is just an ordinary man in this regard. At this moment, seeing a beautiful girl stop beside him, he felt a little flutter in his heart. To his surprise, the girl did not take a seat; she simply raised her right hand gently and patted Sword Demon's back.

Gu Fei looked around, but he could not match the keen eyes of Huo Qiu. In one corner of the table, Huo Qiu shouted: "Drunk Brother, over here!"

This is truly despicable! Gu Fei gritted his teeth, as this matter evoked the shadows of his childhood.

"You're welcome." The Sword Demon heard the young lady's response. By the time he picked up the money, she had already reached the door, glanced back at him with a smile, and gracefully departed

Gu Fei rushed out of the tavern, glanced around, and saw that the young lady had already turned into an alley on the right side of the * map * book. He quickly hurried after her.

Hand over the items! Gu Fei did not give her a good expression. Although the close contact just now left his face slightly flushed, he felt an impulse to do it again.

"It is body fragrance! The game has simulated body fragrance." Fireball asserted decisively

Only then did the crowd return to normalcy, and the scene could be described as having dispersed in a rush. Initially, they were all staring at the young lady openly and brazenly, but now they had to put on a facade of propriety, and if they wanted to look, they had to do so discreetly

He was just leveling up in that place; I saw him there, Gu Fei said

The fireball glanced back and smiled: "So it's the Sword Demon! He just came in not long ago."

Unfortunately, the other party is a young lady; how to approach this matter requires careful consideration

Gu Fei waited helplessly for the fireball to disappear before approaching the table. The fireball wore a face of frustration, cursing the friend who had given it that name. As Gu Fei listened to its mutterings, he continued to survey his surroundings.

In comparison, the girl's appearance is not as stunning as her figure. However, she still possesses a remarkable face, with eyes that are captivating like water and a slight smile at the corners of her mouth that conveys a sense of warmth. With a smile, the girl gently nodded to the crowd in the tavern.

In addition, various tricks such as UFOs, your father is looking for you, and the Black Cat Detective have emerged one after another, ultimately leading Gu Fei to detest this kind of trickery that snatches food from the tiger's mouth. Unfortunately, by the time he resolved to endure this mockery no longer and was determined to give his cousin a good beating, the latter had already grown tired of Gu Fei's meager offerings and was no longer interested in playing these games.
