Chapter 55 - After the Harvest Festival
Chapter 55: After the Harvest Festival
Autumn night, a gentle breeze blew.
The men and women on the dance floor all had blissful smiles on their faces.
Kramer stood on the high wall and looked at everyone’s blissful faces on the dance floor. He could not help but feel happy as well.
Administrator Officer Sevilino was always inseparable from his boss. Because of Alan’s plan, the entire governor’s mansion was busy during the Harvest Festival. Even he had to work separately from Kramer.
Now that the ball was in full swing, they could sigh in relief that the Harvest Festival was coming to a successful end.
“Hey, what do you think little Alan’s brain is made of?” Kramer sighed.
“Not only can he brew so well, but he also has fantastic ideas. Compared to the previous festivals, this celebration is so much better!”
Sevilino was not surprised by the governor’s exclamation and nodded repeatedly.
He felt the same way. He even felt that Alan had far more abilities. He must have many skills that people didn’t know.
Sophia finished today’s work after the drinking competition concluded.
She initially did not want to be a judge, but she could not resist the governor and the administrative officer.
In addition, if the Elf Tavern wanted to establish itself in the human world, she could not offend them too much. In the end, she could only agree.
When she came to the square and saw Orina and Alan dancing on the dance floor, she could no longer hide the sadness in her heart.
She silently watched the two of them for a long time. She suppressed the displeasure in her heart and was about to leave the square when she saw a big wine barrel on the curb beside her. Wayne and Abraham were hugging each other tightly and crying loudly.
She seemed to have thought of something, and actually walked towards them.
She looked down at them.
“You… want a drink?”
After a while, Wayne felt that something was wrong. He looked up and saw that it was the beautiful female elf boss of the Elf Tavern!
He didn’t know what to say, so all he could do was dryly ask if she wanted a drink.
Unexpectedly, Sophia didn’t refuse. Instead, she sat down beside Wayne.
Wayne was shocked by her behavior.
After Sophia sat down, she poured herself a glass of wine.
“You’re in a bad mood?”
Wayne looked at the beautiful elf who was drinking alone beside him and asked.
For a long time, he didn’t receive a response. Just when Wayne thought she wouldn’t answer, Sophia spoke.
“Is this the tavern’s new customer?”
Wayne looked in the direction of her finger. On the left, Abraham was already a little drunk, sitting on the ground and swaying.
“Yes, his name is Abraham. He’s a good man. Alan likes him a lot,” Wayne said with a smile.
The three of them sat side by side on the ground, with Wayne sitting in the middle.
Sophia nodded. She had not been to the tavern for a long time. She did not know that who was new and who had left.
Wayne saw that she did not want to talk. Even though he was a little drunk, he still drank with her.
After the dance, Alan was about to take Orina back when he heard a waiter passing by discussing in a low voice.
“There are three drunkards in the self-service area. They are drunk.”
“I heard that one of them is a female elf. She is very beautiful.”
The two seemed to have sensed something and looked at each other. They turned around and headed toward the place the waiters said. In the end, the situation over there was quite out of control.
Sophia, Wayne, and Abraham were all sitting on the ground.
Abraham sat alone on the side and Sophia was scolding him. He looked at the tall man who was curled up like a quail.
Mister Wayne was like a lackey, also scolding Abraham.
The Evil Lord of the Abyss seemed to have lost his dignity after coming to the human world…
Alan was surprised. Wasn’t Sophia and mister Wayne on bad terms? Sophia disliked him.
But now, this trio combination looked very strange. What kind of magical chemical reaction was this?
Orina looked at Sophia, who was drunk, and was extremely surprised. This was the first time she saw Sophia drunk
In the past, Sofia was always the one to come to the tavern and lead her back. This time, roles were reversed.
“Mister Wayne, what are you guys doing?”
Alan’s surprised voice caused the three of them to pause. Only Abraham’s body emitted a cheerful aura.
It looked like the pitiful Evil Lord had been tormented by Sofia for quite some time.
“Mister Wayne, it’s about time to head back. People still have to clean up the square. Don’t disturb them.”
Seeing that they didn’t move, Alan waved his hand and urged them to head back quickly.
When everyone went home, Alan returned to the tavern alone. It was already late at night.
After an entire day of partying, Rock City fell into silence. Only rows of dim street lamps were still lit on the streets.
Following Alan’s return, a small light lit up in the tavern. The light cast shadows on the glass windows.
Alan finally remembered his system and summoned the system in his mind to check the progress of his mission.
[ Mission 4 complete. The tavern has resounded throughout Rock City. ]
[ Obtained reward, a small gift pack of lifestyle blueprints, blueprints * 3]
[ New drink ‘Burning Knife Soju’ brewing method obtained. Brewing tools installed in the winery. ]
[ Congratulations to the host for achieving “minor reputation” achievement. Gold rank unlocked. Strength Wheat is eligible for purchase and can brew whiskey that can increase strength attributes. ]
[ Congratulations to the host for completing all missions in the novice stage. Mission completion rate is 99%. ]
[ Received the title “Novice Brewmaster”. When you wear this title to brew drinks, everything you brew will taste slightly better. ]
A series of rewards were thrown at Alan, making him feel a little dizzy. Is this how it feels when a pie falls from the sky?
Alan, who was already exhausted, was instantly energized when he saw the generous rewards from the system.
He was awarded two new types of drinks this time. The Burning Knife Soju was a brand new drink, and the golden Strength Wheat was a new concept.
According to the elemental attributes of magic, there were as many as eight types. As for the strength attribute, if Alan’s guess was correct, there should be more to come, such as agility, speed, defense, stamina, and other physical attributes.
According to this trend, the variety of magic drinks in the tavern would gradually increase.
The system also mentioned two new systems, titles and achievements. There were rewards for obtaining achievements, and the reward this time was unlocking a new brewing ingredient.
As for titles, there was an additional title pane on Alan’s personal attributes panel. There were three spaces on it and a row of gray spaces at the back. He predicted that he could continue to unlock them in the future.
When he chose a title to wear, there would be special attribute bonuses attached. It was like the system was giving Alan an extra cheat.
This was what made Alan the happiest.
After studying the new functions in the system, Alan turned his attention to the system store that was related to his wallet.
Among the rows of gray brewing materials, there was a second special raw material that lit up. Besides the magic grape, there was a golden wheat icon.
One gold coin, 100 kg
Alan was quite satisfied with this price. One gold coin was acceptable for Alan, who had three digits worth of gold coins in his account.
Compared to the price of ordinary whiskey, Alan planned to charge three copper coins for a glass of strength-attribute whiskey. He did not think that was too expensive.
He had more means to earn money. Although he was no longer poor, there were still many modern gadgets in the mall. If he could buy them, his quality of life would increase greatly!
As he browsed through the goods in the shopping mall, Alan secretly calculated which items he could exchange quickly. Moreover, they would be the ones that Orina liked.
Whenever he thought of that elven girl who was so beautiful that she didn’t seem to exist in the human world, Ala couldn’t help but smile.
