I'm already invincible, and you're telling me I just logged in?

Seeing the exclamation mark above the drunk man's head, Xu Yan's heart stirred.

He may not have forgotten that he now has the ability to view other people's profiles.

"???"

Xu Yan never expected that this guy who looked a bit like a beggar would have such ridiculously high four attributes.

You should know that the most skilled bodyguards he saw from the Xu Family Escort Agency today had an average of just over 100 in all four attributes.

No wonder he's always drunk near the tavern; turns out he's a hidden master with side quests.

Unfortunately, this is reality, not a game.

Although Xu Yan could see the prompts, he couldn't directly accept the quest by clicking on the NPC like in the game.

He withdrew his gaze, pulled his foot away, and turned to walk into the tavern.

After filling the jar with wine and sealing it with oil paper, Xu Yan carried the wine jar out and returned to the man named Dongfang Canghai.

The other person remained slumped against the wall, muttering the same phrase over and over again, as if they were a real NPC.

"Wine...give me wine quickly..."

Just then, a waiter in the tavern suddenly poked his head out from the doorway and called out to Xu Yan, "Brother Yan, you'd better hurry up and leave!"

"He's just a stinking beggar who can't afford to drink; ignore him."

Xu Yanlai had bought wine many times, so the shopkeeper was quite familiar with him.

After shouting that, he walked out of the tavern, came up to Dongfang Canghai, and gently kicked him twice.

"Go away, don't delay our business!" the waiter said with a look of disgust. "Want a drink? Give me the money!"

Dongfang Canghai staggered from the kick, not even opening his eyes, still mumbling incoherently, "Wine...wine..."

Seeing this, Xu Yan looked at Dongfang Canghai, feigned hesitation for a moment, and then sighed softly.

He bent down, placed a pot of wine in front of Dongfang Canghai, and muttered to himself, "That's enough."

"They must have been completely drunk; they wouldn't have noticed if one pot of liquor was missing."

Although I don't know how to accept the quest, it's always good to raise my favorability level.

This is a level 56 expert!

Today at the Xu family's residence, he secretly observed the stats of those bodyguards; the highest level was only 31.

Converted to the realms of this world, level 31 is equivalent to the first level of the Kaiyuan Realm, which would make one a prominent figure in Qinghe County.

And level 56...Moving Mountain Realm.

Xu Yan took a deep breath in his heart.

This was a realm that the original owner had only heard of in his memories.

In fact, he was even a whole realm higher than the ancestor of the Xu family, the original owner's great-grandfather.

Dongfang Canghai seemed to sense the presence of the wine pot. He reached out his filthy hand, groped around for it, grabbed the pot, turned over, and tilted his head back to pour the wine into his mouth.

Seeing that Dongfang Canghai was completely ignoring him, the waiter shook his head and gave up.

He glanced at Xu Yan again but did not say anything to dissuade him.

Let them be nosy if they want.

Anyway, it won't be me who gets punished.

Seeing Dongfang Canghai pick up the wine jug and start drinking, Xu Yan didn't linger.

He's played games before in his past life.

I know that some NPCs require a certain level of favorability before you can unlock their quests.

If your favorability rating isn't high enough, even if you tap the chat box a hundred times, the same conversations will still be repeated.

Consider this pot of wine today as a way to increase goodwill.

As for whether he would be punished when he went back, Xu Yan was actually worried about it.

But in the past, whenever the bodyguards and porters bought wine, they would get half-drunk, and few people would care whether a pot of wine was missing.

Running errands to buy alcohol is inherently a job where one can make a quick buck.

Of course, if someone really insists on holding onto this...

Xu Yan sighed inwardly.

Then you can only blame your bad luck.

After returning to the Xu family home, Xu Yan carried the wine and walked confidently toward a side room.

The room was very spacious and had several beds, which were specially prepared for the guards and porters to drink after they returned.

The door was ajar, and voices could be heard coming from inside; they sounded like they were having a lively drinking session.

Just as Xu Yan reached the door, a somewhat impatient voice suddenly called out to him.

"Why did it take you so long?"

Xu Sanqi walked out of the door.

He first glanced at Xu Yan, then his gaze fell on his hands.

One pot, two pots, three pots...

As he finished counting, his face darkened, and he sneered, "You, Xu Yan, I gave you two taels of silver, and you only bought seven jugs of wine?"

In the tavern of Qingshi Town, a pot of fine lamb wine costs 250 coins.

Two taels of silver should buy at least eight pots.

But Xu Yan only brought back seven flasks.

Xu Sanqi had been the steward of the Xu family for many years and was used to bullying the other servants.

Nowadays, how can anyone be allowed to "skim off the top" right under their noses?

His face hardened, and he immediately raised his hand to slap Xu Yan.

"You dare to hit me and see what happens?" Xu Yan's eyes sharpened.

"Even if I'm disliked, I haven't fallen so low that a servant like you can do whatever you want to me."

He continued calmly, "You dare to be disrespectful to your superiors? Aren't you afraid that if the master finds out, he'll skin you alive?"

Upon hearing these words, Xu Sanqi's hand froze in mid-air, his face turning pale and then flushed.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Just then, a drunken voice came from the room, sounding somewhat impatient.

"Sanqi? Did you buy the wine?"

Upon hearing the sound, Xu Sanqi quickly snatched the wine from Xu Yan's hand and walked towards the room, his face full of flattery, "Second Young Master, I've bought it, I've bought it."

"Fine lamb wine, freshly made!"

Xu Yan stood there, listening to the splashing sound of wine being poured coming from the side room, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Indeed, the principles I read in online novels in my previous life were correct."

"A petty person is like a ghost; the more you fear him, the more he will take advantage of you."

Xu Sanqi, this guy, relying on being the steward of the Xu family for more than ten years, probably really forgot what his original surname was.

Although Xu Yan now works as a servant, he still has the blood of the Xu family flowing through his veins.

A servant who had been granted a surname struck his master.

Even if he is an unwanted illegitimate child.

If things really escalate, it won't just be Xu Yan who loses face once word gets out.

It is not just about the Xu Family Escort Agency, but also the face of the entire Xu family.

At that time, Xu Sanqi will definitely not have a good ending.

The aroma of wine filled the private room.

Xu Sanqi eagerly poured wine for the bodyguards, his face full of flattery.

Once the wine jug was empty, he straightened up, his peripheral vision glancing casually towards the door, his eyes turning cold.

"You, Xu Yan, are something else."

An illegitimate son who feeds horses and chops wood dares to challenge him to his face and even uses his status as "master" to intimidate him.

"If I can't hit you, don't I have any other ways to torment you?"
