……
A dozen minutes later, at a bar located by the sea.
Because it was built along the beach, the entire building is long and narrow, and the beautiful night view can be enjoyed through the glass, making it feel like strolling along a long corridor. Therefore, the bar was named "Beyond the Long Corridor" to match the scenery.
Accompanied by deafening electronic music, a glass of milk and several glasses of beer clinked together.
"Hooray for Scout! Without him, I would never have been able to squeeze any money out of Lao Wei!" Qin Duanyu shouted, downing his milk in one gulp.
"Team Leader Jing! He's a good person!"
"Jing, junior, he's an excellent soldier!"
ACE and the others chimed in, and also took a group photo, intending to make SCOUT, who was in the hospital bed, happy later.
Good brothers should share this kind of joy!
You can already imagine how happy Scout was when he saw the photo, his face contorted with joy.
A man's happiness is often so simple and pure.
They had originally planned to play dice and have a few drinks, but after playing for a short while, a bold girl sat down and bombarded MEIKO, the young and handsome medic from Liboli, with an obvious intention.
Under the ambiguous gazes of his teammates, MEIKO blushed and whispered a few words in the girl's ear. The two then ran to the dance floor and started dancing. As for what happens next, that depends on his actions.
Upon closer reflection, aside from Qin Duanyu who was covering her face, the rest of the people at their table were quite high-quality: the mature and sophisticated ACE, the handsome and sunny Guardian operator jiejie, the muscular and strong Heavy Operator aodi, and the young and fresh-faced MEIKO who was dragged away. They covered almost all the types that girls like.
With that started, the other operators also left, and soon only he and ACE were left at the bar.
"Doctor, this isn't like the old you. Where did you go, the nightclub prince who could easily flirt with girls and be surrounded by them?" ACE nudged Qin Duanyu, who was still drinking milk, with his shoulder and teased him.
Then, an angry Kal'tsit would grab him by the collar and drag him back. The next day, he would limp and instruct everyone on training. Amidst bursts of laughter, he would become enraged and double the amount of training that day.
"...Shut up." Qin Duanyu wanted to smash the cup on ACE's head, but he was thick-skinned and wouldn't get hurt anyway.
Any normal girl, unless she's mentally challenged, would be wary of a guy who tries to pick her up without her face being visible. Who knows how I managed to flirt with girls in the past, despite having such unfavorable natural circumstances?
Anyway, the girls around him have all won his favor gradually over time. To put it bluntly, he's just picking on the grass near his nest. Going up to strangers in nightclubs to chat them up is really a blind spot in his knowledge.
"Perhaps this is the legendary case of the disciple starving the master? Looks like I need to speed things up, lest those little brats laugh at me." ACE grinned slyly and walked toward a girl who had been glancing at them from time to time. "Then you can drink your milk slowly, I'm going to go dance for a bit."
Anyway, the operators are all near the dance floor. If they really encounter danger, Qin Duanyu can summon two teams of elite operators with a single thought. Moreover, ACE is the closest, so even if Qin Duanyu goes crazy and tries to flirt with Talulah, he can still escape unscathed.
Damn, a bunch of beach kids!
Qin Duanyu sighed, feeling a sense of loneliness that all his gaming friends had found partners. Since transmigrating, he had always been the one who made others envious and jealous by having beautiful girls around him, and he had never suffered such humiliation.
Just as he was considering whether he should leave quietly and go back to the hotel to continue sleeping, a cold voice sounded behind him.
"Bartender, two whiskeys." A beautiful, fiery Feline woman with gray hair and golden eyes, wearing a transparent jacket over hot pants and a tube top, sat down next to him.
"Alright, here are your drinks!" The bartender understood what the Felin tribe elder sister meant and pushed the glasses in front of the two of them respectively.
"Sir, please don't be so polite. This drink is on my tab, as a welcome to our guest who has come from afar." Seeing that Qin Duanyu hadn't moved for a long time, the girl couldn't help but speak up, deliberately emphasizing the word "guest."
"So you're a local, Miss. I really envy you for living in a place like this. It's a pity I can't stay here for long. I wish I could stay a few more days," Qin Duanyu said with a smile, then shook her head apologetically. "I'm sorry, I can't drink alcohol."
Although somewhat puzzled as to why such an oddball would come to a bar without drinking, the girl was clearly relieved after hearing Qin Duanyu's words and temporarily confirming the group's identities as tourists.
“My name is Black, I’m from Siesta. It seems you have a good impression of this city.”
……
"Holy crap, team leader, the girls on the Doctor's side are probably among the best in the bar tonight, right?" Sharp-eyed sniper operator Hope noticed Qin Duanyu's unusual behavior and whispered to ACE.
Before coming, I heard my team leader boasting that he learned all his flirting skills from the doctor, but after entering the store, the doctor was like a block of wood, not as amazing as rumored, which greatly disappointed me.
In retrospect, all those excuses about not being good at or able to play the game were just that—excuses. The real reason the Doctor didn't bother with ordinary girls was because he didn't have any satisfactory prey.
Is this the humility and composure of the strong?
Chapter 12, Section 118: I'm sorry, I'm an undercover agent.
On the other side, Qin Duanyu, completely unaware that she had unwittingly put on an act again, was still chatting enthusiastically with the mature and elegant Feilin.
“Who says otherwise? If I have the chance in the future, I’d like to buy a house here and live here permanently.” Qin Duanyu continued, following the girl’s words. Seeing that she had finished her drink, he snapped his fingers and called the bartender over, “Two glasses of milk.”
Not only had he forgotten most of Siesta's storyline, but he also didn't know much about this six-star sniper operator who appeared in the game. He only remembered that she had a deep bond with a certain young lady who hadn't yet appeared, and they were even jokingly referred to as the mayor's daughter and son-in-law.
There's nothing we can do; it's the Black-blooded chieftain we're talking about.
However, from just a few simple sentences, it's easy to see her feelings for the city of Siesta. To keep the conversation going, she naturally chose topics that everyone liked.
"Your habits are really strange. Why don't you try the low-alcohol beer over there? The kind even kids can drink." Black took the milk the bartender handed him and took a small sip.
"Beer is bad for your health, milk is better. Judging from your appearance, you probably drink alcohol often, so some milk would be good for your stomach." Qin Duanyu was a little embarrassed. He couldn't very well tell the girl in front of him that beer, which even children could drink, had an effect on him no less than a strong sleeping pill, could he?
"May I ask, sir, what do you do for a living?" Blackie clearly didn't want to dwell on such trivial matters and asked the question that mattered most to him.
"Oh, I'm the security manager of a pharmaceutical company in Longmen. Those people were my men," Qin Duanyu replied casually.
"Longmen? To be able to manage a place like that, sir, you are quite talented." Hei Dian nodded and continued to ask, "From your perspective, how is the city's development from a business and management standpoint?"
"Your leader, that Mr. Lang Bian, is a capable man. He has managed to build the city so beautifully, something many people cannot do," Qin Duanyu said, swirling his wine glass as if in deep thought.
???
"Are you sure you're not mistaken? Our leader is called Herman." Black was stunned, then corrected him with a hint of helplessness.
"Isn't it? Isn't it clearly written on there?" Qin Duanyu pointed to the billboard in front of her.
Welcome to the other side of the Siesta Corridor.
No, I can't laugh. That's my most respected master. How dare he joke about him? I should beat him up. The girl tried to remain calm, but her shoulders trembled slightly.
She had initially noticed the unusual aura emanating from this group of people, which resembled that of warriors who had fought for years, and decided to come and investigate. However, she never expected to be led astray by the leader.
puff!
Her icy expression finally crumbled, contorting for a brief moment.
"Boss, there's been a bit of a commotion on Fourth Avenue. Two groups of fans are fighting." At that moment, a man in a suit walked in, glanced at the milky white liquid in front of the two men with surprise, and then whispered to Hei.
"I'm sorry, sir. Although I would love to chat with you a little longer, I have some things to attend to, so I won't bother you any longer. I hope you have a pleasant time in Siesta." Hei stood up and drank the milk in one gulp.
Qin Duanyu raised his glass in farewell and watched the girl leave.
"Boss, how did the test go?" the man asked as soon as they stepped outside.
“He has some skill, but right now he's just an ordinary tourist.” Black took the heavy crossbow handed to him and skillfully examined it.
Even if one guesses that Qin Duanyu is hiding something, his stated identity as the security supervisor basically explains why he, who is physically weak, leads a group of battle-hardened warriors.
Siesta is, after all, a tourist city. We can't just arrest a guest and send him to the security bureau because we suspect him, can we? If word gets out, those mercenaries and the like who originally planned to spend money here will probably never come back.
After walking a few steps, she found her stomach felt warm, probably because the milk was helping to slow down the absorption of alcohol. The slight dizziness she had felt due to the whiskey was gradually subsiding.
Although it's a strange habit, drinking milk in a bar is actually quite nice.
It seems that the young lady said something similar.
It seems that gentleman is a gentle person.
……
"Doctor, how's the progress? Have you gotten the phone number yet? At least you should know the name by now, right?"
"I see bodyguards escorting her out. Could she be some rich young lady? Doctor, this is a golden opportunity, we must seize it!"
"As expected of the nightclub prince, you can tell a pro's skill with just one move."
Before long, the operatives who had finished flirting with the girls gathered around Qin Duanyu and showered her with flattery, their admiration overflowing.
Qin Duanyu, secretly pleased, withdrew her idea of telling the truth and accepted everyone's praise.
"By the way, where's ACE?" He looked around and noticed that a kind and honest man was missing.
"The team leader drank too much beer and said he was going to the bathroom. He should be back soon," MEIKO said nonchalantly. "Let's not wait for him. Let's continue playing the game."
Meanwhile, in the bar's men's restroom, ACE peeked around to make sure no one else was there before hiding in a stall.
"Hello, is this Amiya? Doctor just chatted with a girl for a while. Yes, there wasn't even any hugging or anything like that." ACE carefully dialed the number and whispered to the other end, "Don't worry, I've done this kind of thing many times before, and I definitely didn't give myself away."
"Alright then, that concludes today's operation. You can all go back and rest now." Amiya seemed relieved, yet also somewhat regretful. "ACE, please don't mind. I did this simply to ensure the Doctor wouldn't make any mistakes. After all, his good relationship with the operators is the cornerstone for Rhodes Island's continued progress."
"Tch, Dr. Kal'tsit said something similar back then. You just want to take advantage of the situation to find something on the Doctor and force him to go back to work!" ACE sighed, but ultimately didn't dare to say it out loud.
That's right. Back then, the giant lynx threatened to cancel their vacation, forcing ACE to become a mole. So every time the Doctor took them out to play, the giant lynx always managed to catch them in the act.
Who would have thought that years later, Amiya would use the same tactic, and even surpass her teacher, by having ACE take the initiative to invite Qin Duanyu and trick her into taking the bait.
Although she felt guilty about betraying the most respected doctor, there was nothing she could do. That white-faced but black-hearted little rabbit was even more ruthless than Dr. Kal'tsit. She not only threatened Ace to end his vacation early, but also made him go to the ward to empty Scuttle's chamber pot.
"I'm sorry, Doctor, but I'm actually on Dr. Kal'tsit's side too." ACE murmured, watching Qin Duanyu and the others shake the dice.
Turning everyone around him into idiots—perhaps that's part of Bo's charm.
Chapter 13, Section 120: The Big, Fluffy Tail
Bright sunshine bathed the earth, and Qin Duanyu opened her eyes with a sense of comfort, stepping onto the balcony to gaze at the beautiful scenery.
"It's 11 a.m. now, the second day of the music festival. After you've had a good rest, please enjoy the passion of Siesta! The temperature today is 32 degrees Celsius, slightly better than yesterday. Don't forget to take precautions while having fun. By the way, there will be a performance by the famous rapper DaDi on the Civic Square stage today. Guests who like this kind of music should definitely not miss it."
After washing up, I went to the lobby and asked around, only to find out that all the girls had slipped away.
For some reason, Amiya dragged Winter and the others to the other side of the city early in the morning. According to the note she left, it seemed that a famous band was going to perform, so they went there in advance to reserve a spot.
Lappland got up a little earlier than him, but she seemed to be going to a spa or something and wouldn't be back at the hotel for a while. As for Penguin Logistics, the real boss, the Great Emperor, was having a performance, and Texas and the others, as employees, would definitely have to go and protect him.
Yesterday he was surrounded by girls, but today he's all alone. This intense sense of loss makes Qin Duanyu feel a little out of sorts.
ACE was already waiting in the lobby, with the same group from last night standing behind him. It turned out that some of the girls in the group had gone shopping, and the rest of them had nothing to do, so they all came to protect the Doctor.
What can a group of men do when they hang out together?
Since they couldn't browse and select items in stores like the girls, and there were no internet cafes or anything nearby to play games online, the group tacitly decided to go to the beach to look for girls.
To everyone's surprise, once they got to the beach, ACE and Aodi started playing in the sand. It was quite comical to see these two tall and strong guys carefully picking up sand shovels and buckets.
"Seriously, Captain? Can't you guys do something meaningful?" MEIKO rubbed his forehead in anguish. These two were clearly not trying to create any art; they were just aimlessly piling things up in the summer heat.
