Immortal Brew Refined, An Unexpected Encounter
After negotiating with the Little Octopus "Hannah," Lin Yu led it down the stairs and back into the hotel.
Hannah obediently nestled on Lin Yu's right shoulder, using [Stealth Disguise] to make herself almost blend into Lin Yu's clothes.
"Croak--The human world is really lively, Director."
Hannah leaned on Lin Yu's shoulder and couldn't help but sigh.
At this moment, Hannah, in her [Stealth Disguise] state, is communicating with Lin Yu using the soul connection between them.
Therefore, only Lin Yu could hear these words.
Lin Yu looked around at the scene...
At this moment, he was in the executive lounge on the top floor of the Shengjiang Building, where the light of the WakesLounge sign was dimly lit, and seven or eight guests were sitting sparsely in front of the huge wine cabinet and long wooden bar.
The Card Key by the window weren't full; there were only two tables occupied.
"This can hardly be described as lively..."
Lin Yu was also communicating with Hannah through soul communication.
"But there are so many people sitting together drinking even without a banquet," Hannah exclaimed excitedly, looking around. "It's unbelievable!"
Lin Yu stroked his chin.
It seems Hannah rarely sees people where she lives "over there"...
Lin Yu originally planned to take the elevator directly back to his hotel room.
However, he changed his mind because Hannah interrupted him.
He walked to the bar in the lounge, pulled out a chair, and sat down.
"A non-alcoholic lemon-flavored cocktail, and then a plate of Iberian ham sashimi."
Lin Yu spoke to the bartender behind the counter.
The bartender nodded slightly, his tone extremely polite.
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment."
With that, the bartender turned around and got to work.
"Croak... This is the bartender from the human world!"
Hannah leaned on Lin Yu's shoulder and whispered something.
That's why Lin Yu changed his mind at the last minute.
On the one hand, he had originally planned to test the effects of the [Carnival Pendant] and [Blissful Immortal Pot] immediately, and this executive lounge was a good place to eat and drink something.
On the other hand...
Let Hannah see how food is made in the human world; perhaps she'll gain some unexpected insights.
After all...
Hannah's description in the [Item Name] section contains the word "apprentice".
Maybe it can learn and evolve again!
Unfortunately, although Hannah watched with great interest, she did not seem to learn any new skills.
Of course, Lin Yu didn't intend to achieve success overnight.
Soon...
A plate of ham, sliced into almost transparent thin slices and arranged exquisitely, and a lemon-flavored specialty drink.
Lin Yu his fork to pick up a slice of ham, put it in his mouth, and then took a sip of his drink.
Although it was delicious...
But having just returned from a banquet hosted by the Deity in charge of the "banquet," I felt somewhat disillusioned, as if "nothing compares to the beauty of Wushan."
It's just ordinary food that's a little tasty.
After Lin Yu slowly finished savoring the food in front of him...
No buffs were generated.
"It seems the probability of getting a random buff from eating regular food with the [Carnival Pendant] isn't very high."
Lin Yu muttered to himself, took out the white jade pendant with the shape of a sheep's body and a human face from his pocket, played with it for a moment, and then spoke with some regret.
He then wiped his mouth with a tissue.
"Quack, Director, this food isn't as good as mine!"
Octopus Hanna said confidently.
"It's really just average, but... I'll eat some more."
Although the cost of living here is very high, Lin Yu is no longer short of money.
Since we're already here, we should at least get some buffs before we leave!
So, Lin Yu ordered a new grapefruit-flavored drink and a serving of honey-roasted cashews.
After it was served this time, Lin Yu slowly finished eating it all...
He finally received a bonus.
[Dance Mastery: Your coordination improves by 50%. You can also temporarily enhance your personal charm while dancing.]
[Remaining duration: 1 hour 59 minutes 59 seconds]
Lin Yu looked at the buff and stroked his chin.
"Well... it's better than nothing!"
Although Lin Yu doesn't need the ability to "enhance his charm while dancing," improving his physical coordination is still quite useful.
Therefore, Lin Yu took out the [Blissful Immortal Pot] from his robes.
It was a small bronze wine pot, exquisitely crafted, with beautiful, curling cloud patterns carved on its surface.
Lin Yu opened the lid of the pot and activated the power of the [Blissful Immortal Pot].
Moment...
He had nearly two hours left on the [Dance Mastery] countdown, which had been paused.
Then, this invisible blessing that had originally been bestowed upon him seemed to be "stripped" from Lin Yu by some mysterious force.
Although others couldn't see it, Lin Yu could see some pale white light flying out from his body, slowly gathering in the air into a winding stream.
That is...
[Celestial Brew] is created from the [Dance Mastery] buff.
A thin stream of pale white [Immortal Brew] slowly flowed into the [Blissful Immortal Pot], and after the last drop fell into the pot, the lid of the pot closed automatically.
When Lin Yu looked at the [Blissful Immortal Pot] again, in addition to seeing the Item description of the pot itself, he could also see an additional Item description about its contents.
[Immortal Brew of Dance: Upon consumption, grants a "Dance Mastery" buff lasting 1 hour, 59 minutes, and 55 seconds.]
After putting away the wine jug, Lin Yu prepared to order some more food to see if he could get another buff.
However, just as Lin Yu slammed the bell on the table to call the bartender over, he discovered that the bartender behind the counter was changing shifts.
The ordinary-looking young male bartender took off his apron and left the bar, replaced by...
She was a short, young woman.
"Bite--"
The crisp sound of a bell rang, and the new bartender, who had finished his shift, looked up and also looked in Lin Yu's direction.
Their eyes met.
Lin Yu's face immediately showed an expression of seeing a ghost.
"It's over..."
He murmured to himself unconsciously.
Hannah was somewhat surprised.
"Huh? Director? What's wrong? What happened?"
Lin Yu did not answer, but simply sat up slightly.
Meanwhile, the new young female bartender behind the bar strode over, revealing a smile that was anything but professional, but rather one of unbridled amusement.
"Oh, this handsome, dashing, and promising young guest, what would you like to order?"
"Would you like me to recommend a few of our signature dishes? I guarantee you'll want to come back for more!"
Lin Yu looked at the familiar face in front of him, sighed helplessly, and gently rubbed his forehead.
"Please spare me, Senior Sister..."
A woman with her hair in Xiao Ma, wearing a bartender's uniform, standing behind the bar...
It was Shen Bingmiao, Lin Yu's Senior Sister and the president of the Drama club at Jiangcheng Media University.
