Chapter 45 Night Tavern!
Chapter 45 Night Tavern!
It was just past six o'clock.
But Mugu City no longer receives a ray of sunlight.
Under the dim sky, the streetlights in Xiaping District had not yet been turned on, but the road surface was already illuminated by the neon lights of various signs along the street.
Shi Lan led Shen Mo to a small tavern.
Unlike other lively bars and restaurants.
This little tavern with the "Nightfall" sign was deserted.
Through the brownish-yellow glass door, you can see that the tables and chairs inside are also empty.
"Is this the place?" Shen Mo asked, puzzled.
"Um."
Shi Lan nodded and went straight forward to push open the shop door.
Ding-a-ling!
The melodious and soothing violin music, along with the soft lighting and warm airflow, wafted out from under the door.
Shen Mo followed him inside.
There was a faint smell of tobacco and alcohol in the air, along with a mixed aroma of liquor.
Just then, a woman stood up from behind the bar.
She looked to be in her late twenties, with sleepy eyes, a bare face, delicate features, and a tall figure.
"Hmm~"
The woman stretched lazily, revealing a stunning figure beneath her white shirt.
Then, she parted her red lips slightly and uttered a slightly intoxicated, husky voice.
"Shi Lan, want to drink beer again?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the woman seemed to notice Shen Mo. Her misty eyes suddenly cleared, but her tone remained nonchalant as she said:
"He's a handsome young man, where did you pick him up?"
"Sister Shuang, don't talk nonsense, this is my teammate."
Don't let his young age fool you, he's incredibly capable.
Shi Lan sat down at the bar and said earnestly to the woman:
"He hunted down a little devil all by himself yesterday!"
Ok?
"Sister Shuang" propped her head up with her right hand and leaned on the counter.
Upon hearing this, he raised an eyebrow and suddenly leaned forward.
A smile spread across her strikingly beautiful face, drawing Shen Mo's attention.
"Wow, that's amazing! Handsome guy!"
Her hair slid down like silk, and a clean, clear, and soft perfume scent entered her silent nostrils.
Shen Mo pulled out a chair and sat down opposite Shuang Jie, smiling but not answering.
Seeing this, Sister Shuang smiled, stood up, pointed to the menu behind her, and said in a crisp tone:
"Anything you'd like a drink? It's on me!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Mo glanced at the menu and immediately understood why the tavern was empty.
Good guy!
What kind of red wine costs 3333 Alliance Coins per glass?
There are still more than five thousand?
The cheapest beer costs 200 Alliance Coins per glass!
Where can people from Xiaping afford to spend their money?
Even if this tavern were located in the Twilight District, it might not be able to stay open, right?
"If you don't know what to drink, how about the night cream? It shares the same name as me, right?"
Without giving Shen Mo time to choose, the woman named Wan Shuang turned around and went to mix drinks.
There were no fancy moves, only meticulousness and seriousness.
A moment later, a glass of pale blue wine was brought over and placed in front of Shen Mo, with the words:
"Try it."
Upon hearing this, Shen Mo hesitated for a moment, but still picked up the wine and drank it all in one gulp.
bitter!
It stings the throat!
The icy coldness instantly invaded my limbs and bones.
Yet it suddenly transformed into a scorching heat that burst forth within the body.
It also has a lingering sweetness that lasts a long time, leaving a delightful aftertaste.
When did wine become so delicious?
Shen Mo was puzzled, but what surprised him even more was...
He keenly sensed that his mental energy was very active.
If he casts the spell at this moment, he can release two consecutive "Stasis" spells almost instantly!
"How is it?"
The woman looked at Shen Mo with anticipation.
"That was awesome!" Shen Mo blurted out.
The thrill of that brief moment still lingered in his mind, and he subconsciously blurted out his inner thoughts.
"Would you like some more?"
"Please, have another drink!"
"3600 Alliance Coins!"
"...No need then."
Shen Mo regained his composure.
Although the wine was delicious, he didn't want to be ripped off.
Upon seeing this, the woman burst into giggles.
After a moment, he tilted his head, his eyes looking at Shen Mo with an inscrutable expression, and said:
"This wine contains blue magic flower, which has a certain stimulating and enhancing effect on the mind..."
Upon hearing this, Shen Mo's pupils contracted.
He looked up at the woman, but she remained smiling and chatting, as if she had just said it casually.
"Another cup, please!"
Seeing Shen Mo hand over his bank card, Shi Lan, standing to the side, looked surprised, thinking that Shen Mo had been provoked by Lin Wanshuang's words, and immediately said:
"Sister Shuang, we've come to ask for your help."
Lin Wanshuang casually swiped 3600 Alliance Coins from Shen Mo's card.
He handed the card back to Shen Mo, then turned around and started mixing drinks, saying:
"you say."
Shi Lan looked at Shen Mo.
Shen Mo understood and explained the matter of the relocation permit and residence permit.
After he finished speaking, Lin Wanshuang placed the second cup of "Wanshuang" in front of Shen Mo and said with a smile:
"Sixty thousand!"
Shen Mo's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.
He knew Lin Wanshuang was referring to the cost of obtaining the certificate.
But the price still exceeded his expectations.
However, the thought of the appalling environment of the shantytown and the various obstacles that Shen's father encountered when applying for the certificate was too painful.
Shen Mo gritted his teeth and placed the bank card in front of Lin Wanshuang again.
"Cash only!" Lin Wanshuang shook her finger at Shen Mo, her eyes crinkling into crescents with laughter. "Our business is illegal!"
"..."
He remained silent, downed the evening frost in front of him in one gulp, and took his card to go to the bank to withdraw money.
"There's no rush."
Seeing this, Lin Wanshuang took out a pen and paper, called out to Shen Mo, and said with a smile:
"Please write down your and your family's identification information first."
Upon hearing this, Shen Mo wrote down the family's information on it.
Lin Wanshuang then took out her phone and dialed a number.
Shen Mo immediately recognized it as the Anti-Magic X1 launched by Huancheng.
Can I apply for a relocation permit and a residence permit?
"From shantytowns to Xiaping District."
"forty thousand!"
"No, forty-five thousand at most!"
"If they can't get it done, forget it, I'll find someone else!"
"Two days, right? Bye!"
hang up the phone.
Seeing Shen Mo looking at her with a complicated expression, Lin Wanshuang couldn't help but smile and say:
"I'm just giving you a random price."
Who knew you'd be so straightforward, not even bothering to haggle over the price...
Besides, since I'm the one who introduced you to these people, I also have to take risks, so it's only right that I earn some money, isn't it?
You can kill someone, but you also have to destroy their spirit!
Shen Mo gritted his teeth and lowered his head to carefully write down information about his family.
You can't be careless; even a single number is worth hundreds of Alliance Coins...
After receiving the message from Shen Mo's family, Lin Wanshuang glanced at it and put it away, saying to Shen Mo at the same time:
"I'll call you within five days, then you can come and pick it up."
"Isn't it supposed to be two days?" Shen Mo frowned.
"I have to be responsible to my clients!" Lin Wanshuang said with a smile to Shen Mo, "I still need to check the goods after I receive them."
Shen Mo felt slightly relieved upon hearing this.
He then left the tavern alone and went to the nearest bank to withdraw the money.
When Lin Wanshuang said she wanted to call him, he bought a cell phone and got a SIM card.
Upon returning to the Nightfall Tavern, Shen Mo happened to see a man leaving the establishment.
As they brushed past each other, the smell emanating from the person instantly told Shen Mo that he came from the shantytown...
"You're pretty quick!"
Shen Mo entered the Nightfall Tavern and saw Shi Lan drinking the cheapest beer and bragging to Lin Wanshuang.
Lin Wanshuang's gaze was as kind as a mother's as she coaxed Shi Lan, giving her immense emotional support.
The next moment, upon seeing Shen Mo, Lin Wanshuang's demeanor changed drastically, like a wife welcoming her husband home, and she smiled gently at Shen Mo:
"I'm back!"
Upon seeing this, Shen Mo felt a tremor in his heart.
At this moment, Lin Wanshuang gave him the feeling of poison coated in sugar.
Beneath its alluring exterior lies a deadly danger...
