To thank the regulars and Gu Xi for their help, the Boss was exceptionally generous.
On the spot, he served everyone present a large cup of White Liquor that had steeped to an amber color, all on the house.
The regulars in the Small Tavern were delighted.
They had all been customers here for years and knew very well that the Boss had several barrels of Vintage Wine he had brewed when he was young.
They were all fine stuff that had aged for several decades, and the Boss had never been willing to take them out and sell them.
Today's incident had stirred him up, so he stopped keeping them hidden and brought them all out to treat everyone.
Gu Xi also drank several cups.
At this point, Gu Xi had to admit that the Boss's wine was genuinely excellent. It left his whole body warm, making him feel as though he had grown much stronger.
Even if this wine were taken to the Real World, it would still be top-tier.
It was just rather strong. After only a few cups, Gu Xi was already feeling a little dizzy.
However, he had not forgotten his plan.
Although something had happened at the Boss's place, had it not already been resolved?
Gu Xi planned to use the buzz from the alcohol to hopscotch his way back to the Express Hotel.
To avoid attracting too many onlookers, Gu Xi deliberately kept drinking until around eleven at night.
At that hour, there were not many people left on the streets, and the Street Lamps divided the road into square patches.
Gu Xi had spent the entire afternoon playing hopscotch with Miao Miao. Looking at the shifting light and shadow before him, he felt as if he were standing on a hopscotch grid
