"Rong'er!" Zhou Zhiruo walked towards Huang Rong.

She thought the other party had something to ask her.

Occasionally, when there are too many customers and Xiaolongnu and Huang Rong are too busy, they will ask her for help.

Zhou Zhiruo gladly accepted every time.

"Zhiruo, the master has given us a spot, and Long'er asked me to ask you, are you willing to join the tavern like us?" Huang Rong asked.

Zhou Zhiruo blinked hard, her face full of disbelief. She didn't expect such a good thing to happen.

"I do." She was stunned for a moment and said hurriedly.

"Don't rush to agree," Huang Rong said with a smile, "I won't talk about the benefits of joining the tavern, but in terms of freedom..."

She knew that Zhou Zhiruo had formed an immortal alliance in the original world, and was worried that if the other party rashly agreed, it would affect the original plan.

"I really do." Zhou Zhiruo held Huang Rong's arm, fearing that such a good opportunity would slip away.

She has gumption, but not much.

The formation of the Immortal Alliance was forced by the situation, and by the way, it was a way to find a way to earn time and space coins.

If you can join a tavern, you won’t have to worry about time and space coins.

The annual benefits are enough for her to live comfortably. If she can get the favor of her husband...

"Okay." Seeing that she was so anxious, Huang Rong had no choice but to agree.

She actually felt that it was impossible for the other party to refuse.

But Xiaolongnu specifically instructed that she must explain things clearly to avoid any accidents.

Listening to the conversation between the two, many guests showed envy.

On the other hand, Ying Yinman also extended an olive branch to Lin Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu is not very old, but she is smart and mature. She recognizes Li Jing and his wife as her adoptive parents and is popular in the tavern.

Ying Yinman had read A Dream of Red Mansions and felt that the Lin Daiyu in front of her was completely different from the description in the book. She was lively and active, a little cunning, and very lovable.

Perhaps all this is due to changes in living environment.

She would be glad to have such a companion.

Lin Daiyu naturally did not refuse.

Except for a very small number of top powerhouses and ambitious people like Ying Zheng and Li Shimin, it is difficult for others to refuse the olive branch extended by the tavern.

Nie Xiaoqian also had a recruitment quota, which she gave to Ma Xiaoling.

She entered the tavern as a female ghost, but now she has become very powerful and is no different from an ordinary person, and can even give birth to children.

As an exorcist, Ma Xiaoling unexpectedly gets along well with Nie Xiaoqian.

The two had a good relationship, so she approached Ma Xiaoling first.

Ma Xiaoling is doing well in her own world, but she is also happy to join the pub.

She doesn't have much ambition.

With Kuang Tianyou as her recruited subordinate and Wang Zhenzhen as her good friend, she doesn't have to do many things herself.

If I encounter a psychopath who wants to destroy the world, it won’t be too late to take action then.

The identity of a formal employee of the pub will undoubtedly bring her more.

Shi Potian also joined the restaurant.

He changed his clothes and put on a chef's hat. The kitchen knives in his hands clanged and the spatulas flew in the pot. Delicious dishes were served out.

After being strengthened by the tavern, the dishes he cooked became more delicious and had some incredible effects.

After eating these delicacies, several people who wanted to show their support for him all looked delighted.

They thought the meal was totally worth it!

Shi Potian's cooking skills were recognized, and as long as he passed the seven-day probation period, he could be considered an official member of the tavern.

As a head chef, he can recruit a kitchen assistant on his own.

Many people flocked to Shi Potian and surrounded him, taking the initiative to help him.

Everyone called him "Brother Tian" one by one, which made Shi Potian, who was used to being called "Brother Gou", very uncomfortable.

Later, Xiaotian Dog saw that these people were very annoying, so he drove them out together with Heihuang, so that Shi Potian finally didn't have to feel so cramped.

In fact, he already had a candidate in mind for kitchen help.

It is Wu Dalang from the Water Margin dimension.

He joined the tavern very close to Shi Potian.

As the first guest to step into the tavern in the Water Margin world, Wu Dalang's presence in the tavern is far less than that of his younger brother Wu Song.

He is a simple and honest person, taciturn and not very friendly with Shi Potian.

However, Shi Potian had heard of the other party's experience and knew that he had been making a living by selling pancakes and had very good skills.

Besides, Wu Dalang also has the martial spirit of making pancakes.

With such talent and experience, he may not be qualified to be a chef, but he is more than qualified to be a kitchen helper.

It was a rare opportunity for him to join the pub, so naturally he had to consider the restaurant's operations when recruiting people.

He asked Xiaotian Dog to help him find out what Wu Dalang was thinking.

Everyone has their own aspirations. What if he doesn't want to? Shi Potian was obviously worrying too much.

Hearing that he was favored by him, Wu Dalang was so moved that his eyes turned red.

If he didn't want to find a father for his younger brother, he would have wanted to kneel down and worship Shi Potian as his godfather.

Even though he is still in the probation period, Wu Dalang works more diligently than Shi Potian.

This put pressure on both Old Hongtou and Mr. Ping.

The environment inside the restaurant rolled up invisibly.

What the guests talked about most was not only the changes in the restaurant, but also the boxing match.

Compared to a chef, a food buyer who can travel through many worlds and come and go freely in taverns is much more tempting.

Except for the top people like Ye Fan and Xiao Yan, most others are very interested in this position.

Even those who are not strong enough go up with the idea of ​​giving it a try.

So much so that on the second day after the tavern was upgraded, some guests who did not usually come to the tavern frequently came.

If the pub hadn't expanded, it would probably have been quite crowded.

Everyone was drinking and chatting happily.

Their eyes were all cast towards the stage to see who would be the first to try.

Aquaman Arthur was the first to stand up.

He had long been tired of being the King of Atlantis, and if there was a chance to replace it with a more free position like this one, he felt his wife would support it.

He held a golden trident in his hand, standing high above the arena.

Because Xiaolongnu had said that the entire selection process would be open to the public, when he stood on the stage, a huge projection appeared in the center of the tavern, which showed the scene on the stage.

No one found it strange, but Arthur was secretly amazed.

The arena looked like a small pillar at the bottom and a large pillar at the top, and he was originally curious about what it would be like to stand on it.

But when he chose to enter, he suddenly felt the light around him was alternating between light and dark, and he was already in a void.

Under my feet was a hard ground of unknown material, and there was a faint mist all around.

Through the mist, he could see the blurry figures of the people around him. Each one looked smaller than an ant and seemed to be very far away.

An additional option appeared in front of him, which included a variety of terrains to choose from.

The terrain he is in is the initial terrain, and other available terrains include city, forest, desert, ocean, space, etc.

The biggest difference from the original terrain, apart from the appearance, is that it requires payment.

Each type of terrain costs one thousand space-time coins, and you can choose to merge multiple types at the same time by paying more space-time coins.

The opponent can also make a choice. If the two choices are inconsistent, it will become a fused terrain.

"You're even asking for money." Arthur complained secretly.

When he saw the description that the defender could maintain the terrain of his choice as long as he was not defeated, he became excited again.

Although after entering the tavern, he sold a lot of treasures of Atlantis, including some sealed forbidden objects, which enabled him to obtain a lot of time and space coins and his strength was incomparable to before, but this kind of strength was very limited.

He is much worse than Tony now.

But if you are in the ocean...

"This way I will become stronger than ever before!"

Arthur paid one thousand time and space coins and chose the ocean terrain.

His every move was under everyone's watch.

Seeing this scene, many people secretly cursed it as shameless.

How could they not know where Arthur's nickname "Sea King" came from.

Everyone was looking forward to the first person to take action.

To their slight surprise, it was Gus who jumped onto the ring.

He joined the tavern almost three months longer than Arthur, but he came to the tavern far less frequently than the other.

After stopping the Eclipse initiated by Griffith with the help of everyone in the tavern, Guts did not let down his guard, but vowed to restore clarity to the underworld.

Except for the day after Casca gave birth, when he accompanied her for one day, he would enter the underworld every day and kill various underworld creatures.

Now he clearly felt that he was getting closer and closer to the Lord of the Netherworld, and the enemies he faced were getting stronger and stronger.

So much so that his current strength is comparable to that of a god in the world, but he often comes to the tavern with injuries.

He was not very interested in the position of food purchaser. He wanted to use this competition to see how his strength compared with the strong men in the tavern, and to infer the power of the Lord of the Netherworld.

After entering the ring, Guts also saw the choice in front of him and the decision of his opponent.

"The marine environment..."

Gus's brow furrowed.

This kind of environment is not what he is good at.

However, he had dealt with many creatures from the Netherworld and had seen all kinds of scenes and situations.

Thinking about the purpose of his visit, he did not spend any extra time and space coins.

Grabbing the greatsword, he decided to start fighting right away.

After the two confirmed it, the surroundings suddenly turned into a turbulent ocean.

Aquaman Arthur feels like a fish in water holding the golden trident.

He looked at Guts who was holding a big sword and laughed, "I will prove that it is a wrong decision for you to be reluctant to part with a thousand time and space coins!"

"Then let's fight!" Guts shouted, holding the Dragon-Slaying Sword that was much taller than him, and rushed forward.

His physique has been strengthened and he is not afraid of sea water.

The Dragon Slaying Sword had been stained with the blood of a vast number of creatures from the Netherworld and had long since transformed.

A strong bloody light emanated from the sword blade, splitting the surrounding sea water into two halves!

Arthur was secretly shocked and looked his opponent squarely in the face.

He did not engage in a rash fight, but instead dodged and manipulated the surrounding fish to rush towards Gus.

The dense school of fish rushed over, affecting Guts's vision.

He did not stop moving his hands, and swung the Dragon Slayer Sword brazenly! The sea water instantly turned blood red! A golden harpoon suddenly emerged from the school of fish and stabbed towards Guts.

Guts did not retreat, but let the harpoon pierce his chest while slashing forward with the Dragon Slayer Sword.

Looking at his calm eyes, Arthur felt a little flustered for no reason.

This guy is a lunatic!

He grabbed the golden trident and wanted to retreat temporarily, but found that his hand tightened.

Looking up, he saw Guts holding the golden trident with one hand and slashing at him with the sword in the other.

Blood continued to ooze out of Gus' chest, but his expression remained calm, as if he didn't feel any pain at all.

"This lunatic!" Arthur had no choice but to let go of his weapon.

The tip of Guts's sword almost grazed his neck.

After the attack missed, the opponent maintained the same action as before and attacked him again.

Arthur was going crazy.

This was the first time he had seen such a person.

Did he want to die with him? He thought he was very reckless in a fight, and Tony teased him that his brain was full of muscles, but today he realized that he was still too gentle.

This guy is simply not a human being!

The two sides were caught in a situation of chasing each other.

Even with the advantage of terrain, he was still timid inside. In addition, Guts had more combat experience, so after hiding for a while, Arthur finally gave in.

He felt that if he spoke any slower, half of his body would be chopped off.

There was silence in the pub for a long time, and only after a while did cheers begin to be heard.

"good!"

"Gus is such a hero!"

"That's how men fight!"

“Awesome!”

…

Looking at Guts's expression, except for Casca who looked distressed, the other guests were all amazed.

It is true that he defeated Arthur, but Guts was in a very miserable state at the moment.

One of his arms had been broken long ago, and there were three big holes in his chest, and his whole body was covered in blood.

After Arthur admitted defeat, he closed his eyes and fainted.

Everyone could see that Guts was fighting Arthur with all his might.

This fearless fighting style of exchanging injuries for injuries made them sincerely admire him.

As a result, after a while, several people who were preparing to go on stage started to back out.

In the end, Wu Song went on stage with the idea of ​​giving it a try.

At this moment, Guts has withdrawn from the earlier battle and has become full of energy.

The two chose the original scene, and after only two rounds of fighting, Wu Song was cut in half by a sword! Seeing his brother like this, Wu Dalang was shocked.

Fortunately, Wu Song appeared beside him safely.

After a close call with death, Wu Song showed no fear and shouted "OK".

He had only been in the tavern for a short time and did not have that many valuable things to exchange for time-space coins, so his strength was naturally much weaker.

It was also an interesting experience for him to have such an experience.

Seeing him like this, the others regained their confidence.

At worst, you'll die!

So Dongfang Bubai, Xu Xian, Tang Hao and others died one by one.

After more than two hours and the death of seven or eight people, Yan Chixia finally came on stage and defeated Gus.

Compared to Guts, there are many more people challenging Yan Chixia.

Most people would rather be stabbed to death by Yan Chixia's sword or struck by lightning than be split in half by Guts.

This guy is too brutal! Yan Chixia defended for more than ten rounds, but was defeated by the sword fairy Li Bai.

…

Xiaolongnu and her companions originally thought that the competition would be decided quickly, but it actually lasted for three days.

…
