Eerie Gods Card Master: Starting with Myriad Ghosts Night Parade

Lin Chen politely thanked the "Succubus" bartender.

Amber warmly invited, "Sit for a while. It's rare to have a new guest, so I'll go to the wine cellar and pick out a couple of good bottles for you to try."

"Okay, okay! You're so kind!"

Chen Xiao Diao immediately agreed. Even without Spirit Wine, ordinary alcohol could be fed to Lu Zhishen, so she might as well take advantage of the offer.

Amber entered the basement through a hidden staircase.

Only then did Lin Chen notice that the bar had a staircase leading not only to the basement but also to a second floor.

He curiously extended his attention towards the second floor and felt a trace of frenzied fluctuation!

Lin Chen's current mental power level was comparable to an intermediate Card Master, far surpassing beginner Card Masters like Chen Xiao Diao, making him exceptionally sensitive.

This agitation wasn't like the intensity of a Card Spirit battle, nor the malice of an Anomalous Invasion.

Instead, it felt like an excited... pleasure?!

The fluctuation of spiritual power was so peculiar that Lin Chen couldn't help but quietly walk up to the second floor, wanting to investigate.

The entrance to the second floor was designed as an arched doorway. The corridor walls were adorned with large oil paintings depicting naked men and women gathered for drinks. The paintings even included not just adults but also adorable infants and sheep.

To Lin Chen, the second floor felt like more than just debauchery; it exuded a fervent joy!

This feeling originated from a room deep within the corridor. Lin Chen was drawn closer, He could faintly hear the unrestrained laughter of women from the room, And a heavy, sweet scent of blood.

He couldn't help but place his hand on the doorknob, Feeling as though he was about to step into an extremely joyous field, Pleasant, exciting, intoxicating!

Lin Chen's heart pounded restlessly. This stimulation left him no time to think, He was about to push the door open!

At that moment, A hand suddenly rested on Lin Chen's shoulder, stopping his movement.

The author, along with Chen Xiao Diao, is here to ask for votes and follow-ups! This is very important for the book's future exposure!

Seeing the book's ranking data, Chen Xiao Diao shyly tugged on the reader's sleeve and said, "Brother, a round of recommendations is coming up soon. Can you vote for me first?"

The reader had plenty of monthly tickets and no pressure, so they immediately cast two monthly tickets for the book.

Chapter 24: An Endless Feast of Revelry

A hand suddenly rested on Lin Chen's shoulder, stopping his movement.

Lin Chen abruptly turned his head and saw Amber's face, as pale and flawless as marble.

The boiling blood in his heart instantly calmed, and he regained his reason.

"Mr. Lin, the second floor is a VIP lounge for some of our senior guests to rest and entertain themselves. Please do not disturb them."

Amber maintained a proper smile, showing no anger at Lin Chen's intrusion.

Lin Chen quickly apologized and followed Amber back downstairs to the bar counter.

Chen Xiao Diao asked, "Brother Chen, where did you go? Why does your face look so uncomfortable?"

Lin Chen waved his hand blankly, indicating he was fine, only wondering why he had inexplicably felt like going to the second floor.

Amber said gently, "Would you two like something to eat? We also offer barbecue."

Beside the bar counter, another regular customer enthusiastically chimed in, "You absolutely must try the lamb skewers here! The meat is incredibly tender and fresh. How fresh, you ask? So fresh that even after eating it, you feel like it's still alive, as if it's wiggling!"

Amber's lips curved into a perfect arc. "Customer, you're exaggerating, hahaha..."

Chen Xiao Diao's eyes lit up, her appetite whetted. But thinking of her empty pockets, she gritted her teeth and refused.

Lin Chen, however, felt uneasy and quickly took his leave with Chen Xiao Diao.

Outside the shop, back on the seat of Chen Xiao Diao's motorcycle;

Away from the smell of alcohol and with the cold wind blowing, Lin Chen could finally focus his thoughts and recall what had happened.

Chen Xiao Diao spoke first, "Amber is really nice, isn't he? He speaks so gently. If I didn't dislike drinking, I'd hang out at his place every day. But the smell of alcohol in his bar is too strong; it makes me a bit dizzy."

Lin Chen solemnly reminded her, "This place isn't simple. There must be something hidden behind it..."

Chen Xiao Diao: "Brother Chen, did you discover something? Are there any Anomalous Creatures!?"

Lin Chen: "Not Anomalous Creatures, but I can't quite explain it. It's like a feeling of 'indulgence,' 'joy.'"

Chen Xiao Diao smiled, "Brother Chen, aren't bars places for people to relax and have fun? It's normal to have that kind of feeling."

Lin Chen: "Yeah, maybe I'm just too sensitive."

His tone shifted again. "But it's still best to be careful. You absolutely cannot go to this place alone from now on! I have to accompany you, or you have to go with a colleague."

Chen Xiao Diao pouted. "I know, Brother Chen. Why are you acting like a parent and bossing me around!"

Lin Chen turned serious. "Since you call me 'Brother,' I have the responsibility and obligation to look after you!"

After these few days of brief interaction, Lin Chen genuinely saw the simple and kind-hearted girl as a younger sister, so he really didn't want anything to happen to her.

This was also related to Lin Chen's psychology as a transmigrator. Being in a foreign land, alone, with no relatives in sight, it was inevitable that he would wish for a friend or family member to keep him company.

On Chen Xiao Diao's end, although she still complained a little verbally, she was secretly touched that someone was willing to care about her.

After dropping Lin Chen off at his residential complex, they each went their separate ways home.

Meanwhile, at Amber's bar.

The regular customer at the bar, who was also an apprentice Card Master, had a few more drinks after Lin Chen and Chen Xiao Diao left. He was already tipsy, and with the alcohol taking effect, he started to vent to Amber:

"Life is really tough! I mean, I'm a Card Master, and I thought I was beyond ordinary people, but I'm just a low-class apprentice Card Master.

My cards aren't strong, and I've failed at card making several times. Saving money to gather materials is a long road, and improving my strength is even further away.

If an anomalous instance breaks out nearby one day, or some cult causes trouble, with my strength, I'd probably be finished!

This world is like a great furnace, and bottom-tier Card Masters like me are just the firewood to fuel it.

Instead of constantly thinking about improving my strength and eliminating anomalies, I might as well come to your place, have a few drinks, and get some barbecue skewers!"

Amber comforted him. "That's true, customer. Instead of living in fear every day, it's better to indulge in pleasure. 'Drink today, worry tomorrow,' just like our establishment's slogan—

'Seize the day, drown sorrows as if reborn!'"

The regular customer was completely drunk and slapped the bar counter in agreement.

"Well said! Manager Amber, thank goodness I have you. Otherwise, my life would truly be filled with melancholy!"

Amber's voice was soft and gentle, yet it sounded incredibly convincing.

"Since you're feeling down, customer, we have some newly brewed wine in the private rooms on the second floor, and we also offer an escort service specifically for regular customers. It will surely help you forget your worries."

The Card Master exclaimed in surprise. "There's an escort service?! I must experience it! Manager Amber, please take me up there!"

Amber supported the Card Master's unsteady body, which was weakened by alcohol. "Please follow me."

They arrived at the deepest room on the second floor, the very room Lin Chen had almost opened.

Pushing the door open—

Inside was a spacious private room. A large, round table was placed in the center, covered with wine as red as blood.

There were also seven or eight beautiful women dressed in light, sheer white robes, wearing garlands of ivy. Their faces were flushed, and they were all gathered around, reclining by the table.

The lighting was bright, and the wine was alluring.

As a patron, the Card Master's jaw dropped in astonishment at the sight of the reclining, voluptuous banquet.

Amber clapped her hands. "Sisters, the customer is here. Make sure to serve him well."

The reclining, drunken beauties immediately got up, helped the customer, and led him to sit in the center of the room. They teased him, caressed him, and kissed him.

The air was filled with the fragrance of beauties, the intoxicating scent of wine, and a thick, ambiguous atmosphere.

Incense burned in the corner, making the room's ambiance dreamlike and intoxicating.

With beauties on either side, drinking wine fed to him by the beauties' own hands, the Card Master's face turned crimson, and his body trembled with excitement.

Even more beautiful attendants twisted their bodies, singing and laughing around the Card Master, overwhelming his senses.

Amber said in a voice as light as sheer silk, "Esteemed guest, please relax. There's no one else here. You can unleash your desires to your heart's content."

"Of course! This is wonderful! I'm so happy!"

The Card Master had fallen into a frenzy, letting go of everything and drinking recklessly. The spilled liquor flowed down his lips, as red as blood.

The beauties collectively wove a garland and placed it on the Card Master's head.

This made the Card Master feel incredibly exhilarated, as if he were wearing a crown. He felt as though he possessed everything.

He held hands with these scantily clad attendants, singing ballads, and dancing in circles, spinning and spinning without stopping...

At this moment, he felt that his happiness, like the circle they formed, would spin forever, without end.

It was like an endless joy!

After an unknown amount of time, Amber reminded him, "Esteemed guest, the wine is almost gone."

The Card Master panicked, fearing the banquet would end. "Bring more wine!"

Amber said slowly, "Why don't we brew a batch of our best wine right here, together?"

The Card Master, no longer caring about anything, agreed to everything.

"That sounds great! Let's do it together!"

Amber: "This best wine must be brewed with blood. We're short on vital blood right now. What do you think we should do?"
