That night.
The time for the tavern has arrived.
After the staff dinner, the Doom Tavern officially opened for business.
Unlike the quiet and deserted atmosphere before the store opened in the afternoon.
Revelry, dancing, noise, and excitement filled the entire tavern.
The shackles of reason that bound people during the day were broken, and the madness within them was unleashed.
Numerous waiters moved back and forth in the hall, providing services to the guests who came to the tavern.
The Tavern of Misfortune is open from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. the following day.
The twelve-hour business hours were divided into three time slots, with different staff assigned to different tasks.
From 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m., and from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m.
In order to avoid calling the work that starts at 6 p.m. the morning shift.
The work actually done at 3 a.m. is called the night shift.
The Tavern of Misfortune changed its three-shift system from the usual morning, noon, and evening shifts to the first shift, the middle shift, and the last shift.
Therefore, besides himself, Gu Xinghe was in charge of the A1 bar counter.
There are also two other bartenders who are responsible for bartending during the other two time slots.
Gu Xinghe and Luo Zhiye were also assigned to work during the first shift.
They were already working at the two small bar counters on either side of the tavern.
Thanks to his years of accumulated basic skills, Luo Zhiye's professional competence was indeed much better than Gu Xinghe's.
Standing at the bar in area A2, he was now skillfully wiping the wine glasses.
Unlike Gu Xinghe, who only learned how to blend three popular wines.
It is clear that Luo Zhiye underwent a very comprehensive pre-job training with Grant.
But compared to other bartenders who work longer hours at Doom Tavern.
Luo Zhiye's performance can only be described as mediocre.
Looking at the customers who were already sitting in twos and threes around the bar opposite.
They simply ordered drinks and continued chatting with their companions.
Clearly, his bartending skills weren't good enough to earn genuine admiration and satisfaction from his customers.
Fortunately, they didn't manage to create a drink as memorable or thought-provoking as Gu Xinghe's.
Meanwhile, at Gu Xinghe's bar, his first customer of the night had already appeared—
"Oh my, is this the new bartender?"
"Wow, you're so handsome! Want to grab a drink with me?"
Thump thump thump——
The crisp sound of high heels gradually drew closer.
A tall, red-haired woman sat down on the bar stool in front of Gu Xinghe.
That was a female customer with a mature and sophisticated image.
She was wearing a black tank top with a brown leather vest over it.
Holding a lit cigarette between her right index and middle fingers added a touch of mystery to her demeanor.
"Guest, what would you like to drink?"
Ignoring the other person's joke, Gu Xinghe just wanted to be an emotionless working person.
After all, there were people at home waiting for him to come home.
"Let's have a 'Carnival Night' drink."
The female guest tossed a strand of hair with her left hand, her long, wavy, wine-red hair twirling between her fingers, exuding charm and allure.
"I only know how to tune [Misfortune], [Suffering], and [Star River], but of these, I would recommend [Misfortune] the most."
Unable to meet the other party's requirements, Gu Xinghe stated that all he could offer was a three-cupmed chef's exclusive wine list.
"Okay, then I'll do as you say, handsome. I'll have a cup of [Misfortune]."
But this customer clearly had a high tolerance for handsome young men.
If any other male player from this instance were to replace Gu Xinghe in his position...
I guess that's it... and that's it.
With Gu Xinghe's rudimentary bartending skills, which he had absolutely no foundation in, his bartending techniques were certainly not elegant or artistic.
However, the drugs he had previously consumed, such as the Rose Nebula, had enhanced his physical condition.
Now, relying on his good memory to replicate it, his movements can be described as smooth and natural.
The prepared cocktail was placed above the bar by Gu Xinghe.
The woman held the wine glass in her left hand and gently swirled the wine inside.
Under the dim light, the wine, resembling a pomegranate, revealed its beautiful color.
It gave people the illusion that the wine was delicious.
If she weren't a regular at the tavern, she wouldn't know that the actual appearance of [Misfortune] should be an orange-red gradient.
Perhaps she really would be fooled by Gu Xinghe's calm and composed demeanor.
At this moment, she decided to bring out the same determination she had when she ate the first meal her boyfriend cooked for her.
No matter how awful the drink tastes, she'll still say, "It's delicious."
The female customer was sitting alone at the bar in front of Gu Xinghe, drinking by herself.
If you don't look closely at the pained expression on her face, you won't understand.
From a distance, her stunning appearance undoubtedly made her the center of attention for everyone.
So, after seeing her order a drink...
Other guests around also became restless and wanted to come up and strike up a conversation.
"Boom——"
However, the enchanting atmosphere was suddenly interrupted.
The wine glass slipped from the woman's hand in front of Gu Xinghe, and the sound of her collapsing onto the table made a loud noise.
At this moment, the other guests watching the scene began to cheer and whistle.
"Wow, are bartenders this daring these days?"
"Well done, new bartender!"
"The new bartender is awesome!"
