After Izuna left, Zabuza stood in the corridor, not going inside for a long time.
Bai didn't go in immediately.
The two remained silent for a long time.
Zabuza finally spoke.
"White."
"Um."
"We're really dead."
Bai whispered, "Yes."
Zabuza at the light at the end of the corridor, his voice hoarse.
"But we're back."
Bai looked up at him, her eyes full of seriousness.
"I'm already very content to see Zabuza."
Zabuza moved his throat, but said nothing more.
After a long pause, he whispered, "Go to sleep."
"We'll see what this place is like tomorrow."
Nodding blankly.
"Yes."
Meanwhile, the tavern's work group chat became lively again.
[ Hashirama Senju: The newcomer has moved in.]
[ Hashirama Senju: Shall we hold a welcoming ceremony tomorrow?]
[ Madara Uchiha: Trouble.]
[ Hashirama Senju: Madara, a newcomer has joined the tavern, of course we should welcome him!]
[ Madara Uchiha: Whatever.]
[ Tobirama Senju: A simple ceremony is acceptable; it can help enhance employees' sense of belonging.]
[ Uchiha Izuna: I can prepare some snacks.]
[ Zhang Yu: Then let's do it tomorrow morning.]
[ Hashirama Senju: Alright!]
[ Hashirama Senju: I'll go inform them!]
Not long after, messages popped up simultaneously in Zabuza's and Haku's group chats.
[ Hashirama Senju: Tomorrow morning, the tavern will hold a welcome ceremony for you.]
[ Hashirama Senju: Get some rest, don't be nervous.]
Zabuza lay on his bed, looking at the message with an extremely complicated expression.
Welcome ceremony?
He was hired after his death.
The First Hokage personally announced the welcoming ceremony.
This is absurd no matter how you look at it.
He closed his eyes, but those names kept replaying in his mind.
Hashirama Senju.
Tobirama Senju.
Madara Uchiha.
Uchiha Izuna.
And that Boss Zhang Yu.
Zabuza suddenly felt as if he had entered a strange illusion that only appears after death.
If this is truly an illusion, then it feels far too real.
Bai lay in the next room, also unable to fall asleep immediately.
He touched his chest, then looked at his hands.
Flesh and blood body.
Clearly perceive.
Nothing about it seemed fake.
But it was precisely because it was so real that it shocked him even more.
What kind of person is Boss Zhang Yu who can do something like this?
The next morning.
Zabuza the first to wake up.
He sat up abruptly, his first instinct being to check his body.
No injuries.
There is no weakness.
Perception is normal.
Although there was a subtle difference in the Chakra compared to when he was alive, it was still perceptible.
He got out of bed, walked to the window, and reached out to touch the wooden windowpane.
It feels realistic to the touch.
You can even feel the slight lines on your fingertips.
Bai woke up soon after.
When he walked out of the room, Zabuza was already standing in the corridor.
"Mr. Zabuza."
Zabuza looked at him.
How are you feeling?
Bai carefully considered it.
"She looks just like she did when she was alive."
"There are no injuries."
"His perception is also very clear."
Zabuza said in a deep voice, "It seems Zhang Yu wasn't lying to us."
Bai nodded gently.
He looked towards the tavern's main hall, his voice now carrying a deep-seated reverence.
" Boss Zhang Yu has truly brought us back in a different way."
Zabuza did not refute.
He has never liked to admit that anyone is so powerful as to be incomprehensible.
But at this moment, he had to admit it.
Zhang Yu's methods have exceeded the comprehension of ninjas.
Mysterious. Powerful. Almost godlike.
After quickly tidying themselves up, the two headed towards the lobby.
On the other side.
Zhang Yu had just gotten up not long ago.
The tavern is not officially open yet.
Hashirama were preparing for the welcoming ceremony, Zhang Yu had some free time.
He leaned against the bar and Teuchi the System Shop.
There are still quite a few gold coins left.
Having made a profit from Hiruzen Sarutobi, the tavern now has a much better financial situation.
Zhang Yu clicked on the categories in the online store.
He looked around, but wasn't particularly interested in the other categories for the time being.
The alcohol inventory is sufficient.
There was no shortage of ingredients.
The equipment was just upgraded.
The furniture is usable for now.
Finally, his finger stopped on the clothing section.
"Let's look at the clothes."
Expand by category.
Men's clothing.
Women's clothing.
Business uniform.
Special theme.
Traditional Chinese clothing.
Zhang Yu skipped the other categories and clicked into the women's clothing section.
The next second, a densely packed catalog of clothing images popped up.
Maid outfit.
School uniform.
kimono.
cheongsam.
Formal dress.
Waiter/waitress uniform.
Sportswear.
A wide variety, a dazzling array.
Zhang Yu's eyes lit up immediately.
"Goodness."
"This online store has a pretty comprehensive range of services."
He clicked on the maid outfit series and glanced at it.
Black and white color scheme.
Lace trim.
apron.
Hair accessories.
It's truly a classic.
But Zhang Yu quickly shook his head again.
"Too ostentatious."
"If Bai Gang arrives in a maid outfit right away, he'll easily scare people away."
He then clicked on the kimono series.
It looks good.
However, it's not very convenient to move around in.
It's a bit of a hassle for waiters to wear these clothes when serving drinks and dishes.
Zhang Yu continued scrolling down.
Until the student uniform section popped up.
White shirt.
Dark coat.
Pleated skirt.
stocking.
Little leather shoes.
There are also lighter, summerier options.
Overall, it's clean, refined, and not too extravagant.
Looking at the pictures on the website, Zhang Yu almost instantly pictured Bai wearing the clothes.
That face.
That aura.
That gentle voice.
And paired with this refreshing uniform...
Zhang Yu stroked his chin.
"That's fine."
"More understated than a maid outfit."
"It's also more distinctive than the regular waiter uniform."
The more he looked at it, the more suitable it seemed.
Bai was already ridiculously good-looking.
She was so pretty it was unbelievable.
If you changed into a school uniform and stood in the Undead Tavern serving drinks, you'd definitely become a celebrity.
Thinking about this, Zhang Yu felt a little expectant.
Just then, a system notification sounded.
[bite!]
[New quest triggered.]
[Task Name: Tavern Specialty Waiter]
[Task Requirements: Dress Bai in a school uniform and have her work as a waitress at the Undead Tavern.]
[Task Reward: 10,000 Gold Coins.]
Zhang Yu sat up straight instantly.
"Ten thousand?"
He stared at the mission reward, a smile immediately spreading across his face.
The rewards from many previous daily tasks were not this high.
The system gave Bai, who wore a school uniform, 10,000 gold coins as a waiter.
This is such a great value for money.
"System, you know a lot."
Zhang Yu's mood immediately improved.
I was already planning to buy clothes.
Now, I even trigger quests incidentally.
Wearing it will also grant you 10,000 gold coins.
This isn't about spending money.
This is an investment.
Just then, footsteps came from the direction of the backyard.
Zhang Yu looked up.
Haku and Zabuza entered the living room one after the other.
Zabuza's expression remained cold and hard, but the bewilderment he had shown last night was much less pronounced.
Bai Zejing followed quietly beside him, her posture docile and her expression earnest.
Zhang Yu's gaze fell on Bai almost immediately.
Bai was not wearing a mask today.
That extremely delicate and pretty face was fully revealed.
She has fair skin, gentle eyebrows and eyes, and clean features.
Having just experienced death and been reborn, he possessed an indescribable sense of tranquility.
