Raising a Cup to Invite the Moon, Facing My Shadow, There Are Three "Huas" (cont.)
"Oh, that's just a special feature of the bar, a simulation of special scenes," Chen Luo said.
"Hmm, not bad, not bad, I really like this scene." Remilia, who walked in through Gate 2, looked up at the moon and said with great satisfaction.
Flandre, who was following behind, also seemed a little excited.
After all, vampires are a race that loves the moon.
Of course, werewolves probably like the moon even more than vampires.
"Keep it up!" Remilia said excitedly.
"What are you thinking? It's a waste of money, okay? It's only for one night, and it'll be gone tomorrow," Chen Luo said irritably.
"Hey, why? Shouldn't something this beautiful bring your bar a lot of extra revenue? If we're happy, we'll give you more money, right? Don't you have any business sense at all?" Remilia quickly advised.
"You're talking as if you've paid money before."
"Uh..." Remilia was at a loss for words.
Because Remilia thought about it carefully and realized she had never spent any money at this bar.
"This time it was only for one night due to some special reasons. This stuff consumes a lot of energy." Chen Luo looked at the moon in the sky, feeling a little heartache.
This is one of the more than 20 four-star items that Chen Luo drew when he was trying to obtain the River God Ability.
Previously, Chen Luo would draw Talent Pendant, but this time he drew Talent Pendant of Talent Pendant.
The effect is simply to change the scenery of the bar, that's it, nothing more.
Chen Luo genuinely couldn't understand why this thing was only 4 stars.
And this thing is really expensive; it's not like you can just buy it and use it right away.
Just like the Teleport Anchor in Talent Pendant, it's something you need to spend money on.
20 Primogem per hour, 100 Primogem per day.
Honestly, Chen Luo always felt that anyone who used this thing was a sucker.
Until Chen Luo became the sucker.
Chen Luo didn't want this either, but Chen Luo had no choice.
"Special reason? What special reason?" Remilia asked curiously.
If we can figure out this special reason, maybe Chen Luo can continue exploring the moon in the future.
Remilia felt happy when she saw the moon. After all, Remilia was a vampire, and vampires are nocturnal creatures, and nocturnal creatures love the moon...
Remilia used to feel that Chen Luo's bar took up a lot of her free time, but after having this moon, things are different.
"Look, there are some people having fun over there, raising their glasses to invite the bright moon, making three with their shadows." Chen Luo pointed to a corner of the bar.
The three people who had just entered —Pardo, Remilia, and Flandre— all looked towards that corner at the same time and saw three identical people.
"Three, three Ahua?" Pardo exclaimed in surprise.
"That's roughly it, Fu Hua, Hua, and the Herrscher of Knowledge, raising a cup to invite the bright moon..." Chen Luo pointed to a full moon in the sky.
"Three people in the shadows..." He then pointed to the three people drinking together over there.
Three people who look exactly alike.
"Pardo? Come here, come here." The Herrscher of Knowledge called out to Pardo happily after hearing the noise.
All three people present knew Pardo, or rather, their memories were largely the same.
Whoever marries one of these three people would be incredibly happy.
Of course, it's also possible that the regulations have been so strict that even speeding is no longer allowed.
Compared to knowing only Chen Luo here, there were three Huas over there, so Pardo ran over excitedly.
"Hey, Ashi, why are you drinking a beverage?" Pardo asked in surprise as she walked over.
"Hmm, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
"The truth."
"Alo said minors can't drink alcohol. That's outrageous!" said the Herrscher of Knowledge, slamming his fist on the table.
"Alright, didn't Alo do a lot for you? At least he seemed quite distressed when he commissioned this moon for you," Fu Hua comforted him.
"Emmm..."
That's how it is. Chen Luo rarely hides things from the Herrscher of Knowledge, except for certain matters. The Herrscher of Knowledge also looked through the items Chen Luo had drawn in the lottery.
So when they happened to run into Hua and Fu Hua, they strongly requested that Chen Luo create a moon background.
Although he did place a commission, it was only worth 80 Primogem, so Chen Luo still lost 20 Primogem.
Chen Luo would definitely not accept this commission from anyone else.
Alternatively, you can customize for just one hour, which will earn you 60 Primogem.
It's possible that he was too indulgent towards the Herrscher of Knowledge, or perhaps he felt guilty for doing something embarrassing after using Blindness of One Leaf to blind the Herrscher of Knowledge. So Chen Luo simply booked a room for him.
"Then, what if I have to pay a price for a custom order?" Remilia asked Chen Luo expectantly.
"Saving money or something is too formal. It depends on how strong your desire is."
Simply put, how many Primogem were given? Was it enough for Chen Luo to break even?
"How do you quantify this?" Remilia was a little confused.
"Alo! I want the scene of the Whisperwind Plains!" But before Chen Luo and Remilia could explain how to post the request more subtly, Chen Luo received a request.
[Ding! You have a new request!]
Reward: 200 Primogem.
"Hmm... If you want to know how to convince yourself to post a commission, just go find Venti. He knows it all too well," Chen Luo said, pointing to Venti walking up behind Remilia.
Venti was Chen Luo's first customer at his bar, so naturally she was also the customer who stayed the longest, and she almost never missed a day.
He was even the customer who stayed at the bar the longest, besides Chen Luo, and even among those who included Chen Luo.
Because Venti sometimes just falls asleep in the bar.
The fact that Zero Bar is surrounded by greenery is no joke.
It seems like I haven't been spending every day in bars lately; maybe I've developed some personal pursuits.
"How is it? Is today okay?" Venti asked as she leaned closer.
"Not today." Chen Luo pointed to the Herrscher of Knowledge.
The meaning is already quite clear.
Putting aside the fact that Chen Luo is generally very fair to his guests and believes in first-come, first-served, just considering the relationship, Chen Luo wouldn't possibly change the background of the Herrscher of Knowledge just for these extra Primogem; the other party might be in the middle of something exciting.
"Sigh..." Venti sighed.
"However, if you don't mind, the second floor is currently empty. Although there aren't many customers on the second floor usually, if the setting were different, perhaps some people would be interested in going up to the second floor," Chen Luo said, pointing to the second floor.
Although Chen Luo's bar is often said to be Angel's Share of Diluc's family, and the decor does indeed resemble that, Chen Luo's bar is quite large.
It seems like the bar's capacity was planned from the beginning, so the whole bar is quite large.
Normally, the first floor can accommodate everyone, so no one goes to the second floor. After all, sometimes a more lively atmosphere is more suitable for a bar.
However, if it's Whisperwind Plains, Chen Luo has to admit that it is indeed a good place to drink.
"Okay, okay!" Venti nodded excitedly.
A bar is what I desire, and so Whisperwind Plains; but I cannot have both...
But now you can have both.
"Oh, by the way, if possible, could you also bring the moon up to the second floor?" Venti said.
"It's possible, but please tell me earlier next time," Chen Luo said with a dark face.
"You can go up now," Chen Luo said, pointing to the second floor.
"Great!" Venti excitedly ran up to the second floor, but returned two seconds later.
"I forgot to bring the wine."
"Then you don't need to come back. Nata will take care of delivering the drinks anyway," Chen Luo said.
"Can't you wish me well for once? You deserve to be in a wheelchair," Raven said irritably from the side.
"But my leg is fine."
"I know, that's why I said that."
If Chen Luo's leg were really injured, Raven wouldn't bring up his sore spot in front of him.
"Alright, if you want to ask how to better post commissions, you can go to Wendy. He will teach you a lot of techniques, and he also likes to chat with people while drinking, probably a habit of his as a bard," Chen Luo explained to Remilia.
"Okay, I'll go ask." Remilia followed excitedly.
"Fran, you don't need to come along. Go back to playing your bullet hell game. You smashed 18 keyboards yesterday, so you can only smash 17 today, or you won't get any dessert," Chen Luo said, pointing to the computer in the corner.
"Hmm... I should have smashed a few more keyboards yesterday," Fran muttered.
Starting yesterday, Chen Luo helped Fulan devise a method to control her destructive power and urges.
Aside from venting a little on Chen Luo and helping Chen Luo stack the Break Cocoon into Butterfly buff, he also inherited his sister's throne and started playing bullet hell games.
It must be said that games can sometimes effectively evoke emotions, especially anger.
Since both Remilia and Flandre have relatively small hands, the difficulty of playing the highest difficulty game for them is much higher.
By artificially helping Flandre control her emotions, this method can help Flandre reduce her destructive tendencies and at least teach Flandre how to control them appropriately.
In the bar, Fran is not affected by her extremely destructive abilities, so exercising and interacting with others in the bar can indeed help Fran better control her abilities.
Then, after smashing the keyboard, she ran to Chen Luo to vent her frustration, allowing Chen Luo to stack the ability to Break Cocoon into Butterfly.
However, to be fair, Flandre's destructive tendencies are indeed much stronger than Remilia's. At least Remilia's record is breaking 12 keyboards in one day, while Flandre broke 18 keyboards in one day.
You could say he's both bad at the game and loves to play.
Sure enough, less than 10 minutes into the game, we heard the sound of a keyboard being smashed.
After breaking the keyboard, Flandre skillfully reassembled it from where it was placed and continued her efforts.
"Ding-a-ling!" The wind chimes rang out.
"Hey, Aili? Perfect timing, come here." Chen Luo's eyes lit up when he saw Elysia walk in, and he beckoned to Elysia.
"What's wrong? Lolo, did you miss me after a day apart?" Elysia came over after hearing Chen Luo's call.
"Luo Luo, long time no see." But another voice made Chen Luo pause for a moment.
Chen Luo tilted his head and then saw the small figure that Elysia had been blocking earlier.
"Ah, it's Griseo! Long time no see! Let your brother see you!" Chen Luo said to Griseo as he lightly flew up and flipped over the bar.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Luo's wheelchair flew over as well.
"Oh dear, have you forgotten the old ones as soon as you have new ones? Lolo is so heartless." Elysia sighed.
"Elysia, you've gained weight." Chen Luo glanced at Elysia and his words were like a knife to the heart.
"Who... who said that?"
"If you hadn't gained weight, how could you have completely hidden little Griseo behind you, making it impossible for me to see her at all? So you really have gained weight and need to lose some." After saying that, Chen Luo sat in his wheelchair and pinched Griseo's cheek.
"Little Griseo is getting cuter and cuter, and she's grown quite a bit since the first time I met Griseo," Chen Luo remarked.
Chen Luo, sitting in a wheelchair, was exactly the same height as Griseo.
"Lolo, being so intimate with a girl can cause her to misunderstand," Griseo said in a playful tone.
"..." Hearing Griseo's tone and lines, Chen Luo turned to look at Elysia.
"You... never mind." Chen Luo instantly knew whose influence Griseo had now succumbed to.
After becoming Flame-Chaser, Griseo is easily influenced by the personalities of others, either because of her young age or because of her special abilities. Therefore, those with volatile tempers are advised not to spend too much time alone with Griseo.
Who knows what Griseo's version of the Chijie Tribulations will look like?
Oh, I know.
Griseo, who spent a considerable amount of time with Chijie, later painted a picture, and that painting destroyed a city...
