Standing in front of me, he said, "I'm the owner of this tavern. You guys are from the Sky Garden, right? Even people from the Sky Garden have to follow the rules. Men coming in must take off their shirts. It doesn't matter if you bring your female companions. Anyway, you must be here to ask something of me!"
Karenina couldn't help feeling nauseous when she saw the hair on her boss's body, and she immediately stepped back: "I'll wait for you outside."
Huh? What do you mean?
I had no choice but to take off my armor. The big guys next to me were staring at me. What the hell? They were staring at a man.
Finally, I took off my long-sleeved shirt, revealing my muscular body. The bar owner couldn't help but admire me: "I thought you were a very skinny person. I didn't expect you to have some strength."
Karenina poked me on the back: "Grilled fish."
"Okay, okay, I know." I looked at a big fish in the pond and said, "Boss, please grill this fish for me."
Boss: "That's just for viewing. It's specially made in the kitchen. It costs 3000 black cards."
Me: “Okay.” I sat on the stool: “Boss, can you tell me about whales? I will give you money.”
The big men around me were probably the boss's sailors. The boss sat directly in front of me and said, "I'll provide you with information, but I don't want any money. Have a competition with me."
I asked doubtfully, "Comparing what?"
Boss: "Just a quick wrist shake and a drink, simple!"
Lucia: "But your size is an advantage."
Boss: "If you want news on the whale, hurry up." Me: "Okay, that's it."
So the tavern owner and I came to a round table, put our arms on the table, and the tavern owner wrapped my hands directly with his big, greasy hands.
To be honest, I felt that winning was unlikely, but I had to at least fight for a draw. The tavern owner obviously underestimated me at the beginning and was almost knocked down by me. The other sailors couldn't help but start cheering the owner on.
Tavern Owner: "Very strong, boy? But the size difference is definitely there."
Karenina ran over with fish in her mouth: "Commander, come on! Come on! Don't lose to this greasy pig."
Instantly, the other sailors fell silent, and the tavern owner also stood still with a sullen face. Then, I gently used force and directly shoved the tavern owner over. I sensed that the atmosphere was a little off: "Hey, Boss, what's wrong with you?"
He then clamped Karenina's head with his arm and said, "What are you talking about? What if you make the tavern owner angry and he doesn't tell us about the whale?"
Suddenly, the boss woke up with a runny nose. "What the fuck?" he cried. The sailors around him were at a loss. The tavern owner came to his senses and said, "It's okay, it's okay. You win. I was just thinking about my deceased wife. Only my wife would scold me like that. It's okay, it's okay. Let's continue the game! I won't lose to you in the next game. I can drink the most here."
I looked at the boss who had regained his smile and said, "Okay, just don't blame us."
We returned to the table, where the sailors had already filled it with whiskey. The bar owner smiled and said, "Drinking too much, little brat, can be fatal. If you can't get better, don't force yourself."
I smiled and said, "Don't underestimate me."
After an hour, the tavern owner was holding the bottle and breathing heavily. The sailors next to him were stunned. To be honest, I didn't feel drunk at all, I just felt a little full.
A sailor walked up to the boss and said, "Brother, this guy is not simple. You'd better stop drinking. If you drink more, you will die."
The boss finally put down the bottle and said to me weakly, "You win, little brat. I'm almost dizzy. According to our findings, the whale may appear in three days, if not three, four, or five or six days."
After saying that, he fell to the ground. The other sailors quickly carried the boss to the room at the back of the tavern. I was about to turn around and call Lucia and the others to leave.
As a result, the drunk Karenina turned around and pounced on me.
Me: “How did he get the alcohol?”
Lucia said in a panic: "I don't know when Karenina drank secretly?"
Karenina touched my body directly with her hands: "Commander, you are in great shape!"
Liv blushed and looked away. I blushed and held Karenina with one hand and looked at the dancer next to me: "Do you have anyone who can sober up quickly?"
The dancer took a small bottle of black stuff from under the table: "This is bile."
I smelled the smell and felt like I was going to vomit, so I forced the liquid into Karenina's mouth and quickly jumped away. As expected, Karenina vomited all over the floor and yelled at me, "What did you feed me?"
Without thinking, I answered, "Something that's almost like shit."
Karenina rushed towards me, and Liv quickly pulled her from behind: "Commander, you are joking. This is just bile to sober up. Stop it, Miss Karenina, and quickly carry out the mission."
I saw a little girl eating fish nearby and asked the dancer, "Do you know where this child is from?"
The dancer crossed her long legs and said, "It's obvious that this child isn't from here. I don't think you'll be able to find their parents even if you go out and look for them."
Me: “It seems to have drifted over from the sea.”
Dancer: "There's an orphanage at the end of this street, go right. The director is a nice guy, you can leave it to him. And it's best to change your clothes to avoid being bullied in the orphanage."
After listening to this, I paid the dancer some tips, put on my clothes and protective suit, and left.
Li was sitting on the steps outside, looking at the floating screen, as if searching for something. I patted Li's shoulder and said, "Li, it's time to go."
Karenina was still drinking mouthwash: "Then there's no need to give me such a smelly hangover drink!"
I laughed and said, "Do you want to see what happens when you're drunk? You look like a nympho lying on top of me. Haven't you ever seen a man before?"
Karenina blushed and turned aside. Liv joked beside her, "Miss Karenina likes the commander very much."
Karenina hugged Liv and blushed: "Liv, don't say that."
