"Come in and report for duty when you arrive! What are you still doing standing at the tavern entrance?!"
A stern voice came from inside the tavern.
The Doom Tavern is certainly not Rose Manor.
This time, it wasn't a pretty and gentle maid who came out of the main entrance.
Instead, he was a middle-aged man with a mustache.
"You are the new temporary workers for this job."
The man's gaze swept briefly over the eight players in front of him.
“I’m Karl, the manager of Doom Tavern. Come in, don’t stand outside.”
A man dressed in a tavern uniform emerged from the Tavern of Misfortune.
The matching vest, shirt, and jacket, along with the bow tie on the clothes and the mustache on his face.
She does possess a certain elegance.
The exterior of the Doom Tavern looks no different from that of an ordinary tavern.
A strikingly designed sign hangs above the building's entrance.
There is also a light sign on one side, which will probably light up on time in the middle of the night.
After glancing at the exterior of the tavern, Gu Xinghe followed the others into the Tavern of Misfortune.
Like most taverns, Doom Tavern only opens at night.
Upon entering, Gu Xinghe found the place to be "exquisitely clean"—
He did not perceive any pollution here.
It wasn't black or dirty to the naked eye.
Rather, it is a kind of "contamination" that is passively accepted after a person with high spiritual attributes has perceived the essence of the world.
Like some kind of planktonic organism, it quietly attaches itself to a person's body.
He consuming reason, he consuming emotion.
It makes people's thinking sluggish and slow, gradually leading to disorder and collapse.
Both physiological and psychological aspects have begun to change gradually.
Just like when I first entered the Rose Manor.
The players then sensed that somewhere in the manor, some unknown entity was watching them with malicious eyes.
This is the pollution that one can never escape as long as they live in this world.
However, the overly "clean" interior immediately made Gu Xinghe realize that something was wrong with the tavern.
Perhaps these are the players who visited the tavern in the previous batches.
This is probably why you can clear dungeons extremely smoothly as long as you don't touch the side quests.
After everyone followed the tavern manager, Karl, into the Doom Tavern.
The eight people finally had the opportunity to peek inside the tavern—
This is a tavern with an extremely large area.
The first thing that caught their eye was the large bar that appeared directly in front of them as soon as they entered the pub.
Behind the bar were rows and rows of bottles of liquor—
It was a stunning wall of wine bottles!
Each row of display shelves is filled with wine bottles that are different in shape, color, and appearance.
There were so many bottles of liquor displayed behind the bar that the shelves almost reached the ceiling.
All kinds of wines were properly stored on the shelves.
As far as the eye can see, it's impossible to count exactly how many bottles of wine are stored here.
Various types of wines are carefully filled into exquisite glass bottles.
Under the warm yellow light, the entire wall of glass bottles reflected a dazzling light.
Like gems shining brightly under the light.
From a distance, it looks like a glass wall inlaid with various gorgeous gems.
Alongside a wall of wine bottles, there are various comfortable booths and tables and chairs suitable for gatherings of different sizes.
The dim yellow light bathed the entire tavern.
It creates a lazy and relaxing intoxicating atmosphere around you.
"The tavern will officially open for business in the evening."
"This is a good time to arrange work and provide training for you."
After all eight players entered the tavern, the tavern manager, Karl, carefully examined the eight new temporary workers the tavern had just hired.
His gaze when observing others wasn't particularly detailed.
It seems to be only for the purpose of temporarily memorizing and recognizing their different appearances and names.
But just as Karl looked at Gu Xinghe...
Gu Xinghe clearly saw his gaze pause, and his eyes seemed to light up for a moment.
What's with this feeling of familiarity?
Why do I feel like this manager's eyes look a little familiar?
Clearly, this idea wasn't just shared by Gu Xinghe; Chen Licheng, standing next to him, felt the same way.
Gu Xinghe observed where Karl's gaze was focused and found that he seemed to be staring at the cuff of his sleeve.
He was certainly not wearing the same formal attire or tuxedo he was wearing at the Rose Manor.
Gu Xinghe was wearing a simple white shirt and black pants today.
But if the key point is the cuff—
He remembered!
Before entering the dungeon, when changing clothes and putting on your equipment.
As Eiffel tidied his clothes, he replaced two cufflinks on his shirt sleeves.
The patterns on it are the emblem of the Rose Estate itself.
He didn't pay much attention to it at the time because it looked like an ordinary decoration.
But are these cufflinks really that special?
grass.
Gu Xinghe remembered.
At that time, when Eiffel showed him the catalog of properties under the Rose Estate.
He seemed to see a name that now seemed very familiar.
Because there were quite a few names recorded in that industry directory at the time.
Even though his ability to memorize words is not bad, he still seemed to be struggling a bit.
However, because that property was located in the Qiming Empire, and its name was quite unique—
So Gu Xinghe took the opportunity to write it down.
The Tavern of Misfortune.
That is the name of that industry.
So, this Tavern of Misfortune seems to be a property under Rose Manor.
No wonder Karl's expression was a little strange when he saw him wearing the Rose Manor's exclusive cufflinks.
This is what it means to directly encounter the boss's boss's boss.
Gu Xinghe has essentially taken his job to work within his own family business.
He was just saying that he didn't want to inherit the family's billions of dollars and wanted to go out and make his own way in the world.
Now it seems like he wanted to go out and work, only to find out that the company was also owned by a rich young master from one of his own businesses.
[Am I out of touch? Does the Rose Queen in the manor already have a son?]
This is the young master, traveling incognito, intending to inspect the true state of his family's businesses under the guise of working there.
[Or is it that a rebellious rich kid runs away from home only to find out that his workplace is actually part of his family's business?]
It was quite obvious, judging from the sudden realization that appeared on Gu Xinghe's face earlier.
The tavern manager, Carl, thought the storyline of a rebellious rich kid running away from home was more believable.
First time.
Gu Xinghe felt that he didn't need his mind-reading ability.
He's so embarrassed he wants to carve out a castle.
What kind of rebellious rich kid ran away from home?
Gu Xinghe subtly felt that his seniority had been lowered.
