Chapter 9 Mutual Testing



So after working myself to the bone all day, the stock only rose by 0.0001%?

That means two or three thousand more people are paying attention?

This is way too difficult!

It was incredibly bitter!

Later, Bei Chen, holding a glass of Clover Club, prepared to try again.

"Here, this is for you!"

This cup was for Lu Jiuning, who was sitting in the corner.

"Thanks!"

"What do you think of the name Clover Club?" Bei Chen stared intently at Lu Jiuning's face, trying to discern something different about her.

To his disappointment, Lu Jiuning's expression didn't change much, just like everyone else's.

When he mentioned California lemons, Lu Jiuning did not react.

When I sang "Ugly Monster," the other person just thought the song was alright, rather than feeling that sense of shock from another world.

The same is true for the Clover Club today.

After three attempts, Bei Chen is most likely certain that the appearance of California Lemon was truly an accident.

Lu Jiuning did not travel from Earth.

Instantly, an indescribable melancholy welled up inside me.

Seeing that Bei Chen looked a bit dejected, Lu Jiuning assumed he was just tired from mixing drinks.

However, there were still some questions she had to ask: "Where did this new wine come from?"

This time, it was Lu Jiuning who was testing the waters.

I redeemed the California lemons from the system myself. Could it be that the other party also has a system?

Bei Chen naturally couldn't reveal that he had a cheat code, "Then I have to thank you for letting me taste the California lemons."

In that instant, a multitude of inspirations collided in my mind.

Not just raspberries, I even want to use fruits like pineapple and figs, as well as vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers, to make cocktails.

Not enough, you can also use wormwood, green tea, peony flowers, and so on to create sake with elements of Kyushu.

Doesn't that sound exciting?

I even thought of a name for this kind of drink: cocktail. What do you think?

Unbeknownst to them, another round of probing had begun.

Hearing this, Lu Jiuning's head started to swell.

The other party provided a lot of information.

Using fruit in cocktails is understandable, but using vegetables? What the heck?

Wait, they're going to use green tea and flowers to make cocktails?

Is this possible?

Will it taste good?

One question after another filled my mind.

However, this also shows that Bei Chen was truly bursting with inspiration and had a wildly creative mind.

Only those who dare to dream dare to act.

We've passed this hurdle.

After digesting the information for a while, Lu Jiuning finally spoke: "Why call it a cocktail? It feels a bit odd. Why not call it Cat's Tail or Dog's Tail?"

Bei Chen: ...

This question left him speechless for a moment.

The origin of cocktails is not clearly explained, only some folk legends exist.

But it sounds better than Cat Tail Wine or Dog Tail Wine, right?

Or is it that I have preconceived notions?

Forget it, I'll just make up an excuse: "Look, the new cocktails I've mixed all have unique colors, just like the colorful tails of birds, don't they!"

So originally I wanted to call it "Bird's Tail Wine," but then I felt it didn't sound good, and a cocktail would have been more appealing.

That's utter nonsense!

As he listened, Lu Jiuning actually started to find it pleasing to the ear. "Alright, let's call it a cocktail then!"

"By the way, there's one more question. Who is Yang Hui to you, that you're so concerned about her?"

I wasn't jealous; I was just genuinely curious.

This question is much easier for Bei Chen to explain than the origin of the cocktail.

"Yang Hui is right, she is a regular at the Hive Bar, and the only one."

She comes here once a week normally, and this habit has lasted for almost a year.

I'm not afraid you'll laugh!

She would appear whenever I was about to give up on the bar.

It gave me the illusion that someone was still supporting me.

It was because I was quite familiar with her that I asked her to be the shill.

At the same time, I hope she won't be burdened by the birthmark on her face and that she will have a lucky life in the future.

At this point, Bei Chen glanced at Lu Jiuning a few more times.

Everyone else had doubts about "The Ugly Duckling," but she was the only one who believed in herself.

In any case, he is at least a satisfactory partner.

Lu Jiuning only heard the last sentence of Bei Chen's explanation, and thought to himself:

You must have seen yourself in her, right?

Do you also wish that you wouldn't be burdened by the scars on your face?

Indeed, you are a young Lanling, your stage is not here, but in a much more distant place!

Lu Jiuning has made up her mind that if the system can unlock the ability to heal scars in the future, she will spare no effort to help!

"Oh, right, there's one more thing we need to discuss..."

...

As midnight approached, the wind, no longer scorching, blew away the reluctance and helplessness.

Leisure time always seems so short.

Many people began packing their things, preparing to go home.

At this moment, Lu Jiuning called out to everyone: "Please wait a moment!"

As Mr. Mask has already said, he only sings original songs.

The same applies to the next stage.

This song was an accident; it just happened to be in Mr. Mask's inventory.

Next time, you won't be so lucky.

So while everyone's still here, let's pick another theme.

"Next Saturday, a new song will be released on time..."

Lu Jiuning made it very clear that he wanted Bei Chen to have a week to prepare.

This timing was the result of the two of them discussing it earlier.

Bei Chen still has the quota for one pop-level song and one phenomenal song left.
