Their commission was suspicious.

Since Natasha is already a World Serpent executive and also works as a bartender, it shouldn't be a problem for her to also work as a Destiny Valkyrie, right?

Or rather, the Valkyrie coach.

In short, Natasha is a rare talent; she has extensive experience in dealing with Honkai Beasts and executing various covert combat techniques.

As a mercenary who often operates in the shadows, Natasha is well-informed and can introduce and supplement the Valkyrie with various techniques for dealing with unexpected situations.

As for how to explain this to the Gray Serpent? Since we can't explain it, then we won't.

Chen Luo made me do everything!

As long as Natasha pins all the blame on Chen Luo, she can guarantee that Gray Snake won't cause her any trouble.

After such a long conversation, Natasha realized that Chen Luo was less of a mascot for the World Serpent and more of a half-father to it.

And that was indeed the case. After shifting all the blame onto Chen Luo, Gray Snake did not reject Natasha's application. From that moment on, Natasha became a freelancer holding four jobs.

Because her work is very flexible, she is called a freelancer.

The work available to World Serpent cadres is decreasing, seemingly intentionally by Gray Serpent, but the guaranteed minimum wage offered by World Serpent is still substantial, making Raven reluctant to give it up.

Mercenaries are the essence of ravens, and they will not give up.

Needless to say, the bar is another story. Even without the bartender job, Raven would still come to the bar almost every day. And Chen Luo pays a really good amount.

As for the Valkyrie coach, he teaches four classes a week at any time, and he's generous with the pay.

Although Chen Luo didn't know why Raven was making so much money, since he could transfer all of Raven's money with just a word, he was happy as long as Raven was happy.

After being greeted by Chen Luo, Natasha's reaction was somewhat unexpected. She first surveyed the bar's environment, and then shook her head after confirming Chen Luo's appearance.

"You've mistaken me for someone else, I..."

"Natasha, get out of my way! Hey, why are you dressed differently? Aren't you wearing your bartender uniform?" Kiana interrupted Natasha before she could finish speaking, as she walked out of the bar's second door, which opened to the side.

"Kiana, don't be so rude. But Natasha, it is indeed a bit inappropriate for you to be standing at door number 1 without closing it when the bar is at its busiest." Before Natasha could even process the situation, Mei, who came out from behind Kiana, closed door number 1 for Natasha.

"Huh?" Natasha looked at the group of people in front of her with some confusion.

Why do they all act like they know me so well when I don't even know them?

And what's with this bar? I was clearly on my way back to my clinic, so why am I in this bar?

Natasha was very puzzled.

However, after Natasha was reminded by Mei not to block others from entering, she still walked a little further into the bar.

Just as Mei had warned, a few seconds after Natasha made way, the bar's door number 1 was pushed open again.

"Huh? Natasha, why are you wearing an outfit I've never seen before? Chen Luo, do the bartenders at your bar change clothes this casually? What kind of play is this today?" Merlin asked curiously.

Unlike Natasha's occasional bartender or mercenary attire, this time she not only wore black stockings but also a green bottle-like necklace around her neck.

"I'm not……"

“Merlin, you don’t understand. Actually, I don’t understand either. But it’s Natasha’s freedom to choose what she likes to wear,” Chen Luo said as he walked to Natasha’s side.

Natasha was interrupted again before she could speak.

“I have a feeling…” After Chen Luo interrupted Natasha again, Merlin found a seat next to her and sat down, observing Natasha as he fell into thought.

Why do I always feel like there's something strange about Natasha?

It feels like... not recognizing yourself or others.

Merlin felt exactly like everyone did when they first met the memory entity, Hua.

Because everyone recognized Fu Hua and the Herrscher of Consciousness, and Fu Hua and the Herrscher of Consciousness looked very similar to Fu Hua, the memory form of Fu Hua didn't recognize them. It took the people in the bar quite a while to get used to it.

Then one thing was finally confirmed: Chen Luo seemed to have a special fondness for China.

But if this is Natasha from another parallel world, why wouldn't Chen Luo recognize her?

Chen Luo was the person Natasha was closest to in the bar; the two had been through thick and thin together.

We fought monsters together, carried guns together, and took care of children together.

In addition, Chen Luo's Herrscher of Knowledge ability and that special annotation ability

After only a moment's thought, Merlin came to a conclusion... Chen Luo did it on purpose.

Because Chen Luo never even called Natasha "Nata" (Natasha's childhood nickname).

Although he didn't know what had happened, Merlin was already sitting on the side, eagerly anticipating the show.

Bars are indeed interesting places.

Whether it's a parallel world, simply looking the same, or a clone... in short, the fun is about to begin.

What Merlin could see, the Herrscher of Knowledge could naturally see as well, but...

Although the Herrscher of Knowledge is different from Merlin, and is not a person who enjoys entertainment, he does like to watch good-looking things, and he rarely disturbs Chen Luo's work.

If this Natasha is a Natasha from a parallel world, it means that Chen Luo has new parallel worlds to explore, and each new world is a celebration of desires, unless it is an ordinary world.

For example, Chen Luo had basically never been to the world where Kato Megumi lived or the world where Kinoshita Hideyoshi lived, because there was nothing he wanted to gain.

Life is perfect and without regrets, at most it's just a little bit of teenage romance between boys and girls... What's so great about that?

Gabriel's world isn't suitable either, because life there is much more fulfilling, except that Satania might really like pineapple buns but they're always being stolen by dogs...

Although the Herald of Knowledge did not see any information about this other Natasha in Chen Luo's main plane, it was not surprising.

Even if no similar game is released, Chen Luo can still check out the Book of Akasha.

"Come with me, I'm not going to eat you."

While the Herrscher of Knowledge and Merlin were each harboring their own secrets, Chen Luo had already dragged Natasha behind the bar without saying a word.

Natasha wanted to leave this strange place where everyone else knew her but she didn't know them at all, but... Natasha had no idea how to leave.

The door she had just opened had been closed, and then closed several more times by passing guests. Natasha really wasn't sure if she could ever go back.

Moreover, in this situation, Natasha was inexplicably afraid that if she revealed that she was not the Natasha they knew, they would suddenly attack her...

Although Natasha was somewhat confident in her abilities, these people didn't seem like easy targets.

However, the manager, Chen Luo, seemed easy to talk to, so Natasha decided to explain things to Chen Luo after figuring out what was going on at the bar.

Natasha was also very curious about the current situation. Could there be another person in the world who looked extremely similar to her and had the exact same name?

Of course, the main reason is that they have a very strong persuasive ability.

“Natasha, you’ve come at the right time. I just upgraded the bartender’s workstation today, so I can teach you again,” Chen Luo said.

"..." Natasha looked at this person who seemed to know her very well and began to ponder the relationship between Natasha and Chen Luo.

As for Chen Luo's introduction, Natasha simply let it go in one ear and out the other.

Natasha had no intention of becoming a bartender; she just wanted to understand her situation.

This bartender job sounds like a hassle.

"Did you understand?" Chen Luo asked.

"Mm," Natasha replied simply.

"Don't sound so listless. I know this system might be a little complicated, but it's also much smarter once you get used to it. Although being a bartender is a bit beneath your mercenary identity, I'm paying you well."

"Hmm." Natasha replied to Chen Luo while also keeping an eye on the other guests.

"Don't get distracted. You're making me, the boss, look really dull."

"Ah."

"..."

"I don't think you took what I just said to heart at all. Forget it, you should just eat a memory bread." Chen Luo printed the 300-word instructions for using the bartender's control panel on the memory bread and handed it to Natasha.

"Ok?"

Memory bread?

Natasha looked at the ordinary bread and tilted her head.

Is it really safe to eat something of unknown origin?

"Try it! This memory bread not only imparts knowledge, but it also tastes pretty good. If you don't eat it, I'll dock your pay," Chen Luo recommended.

success.

Was it really so close to failure?

But Chen Luo has never failed in persuading people about this matter.

After being persuaded by Chen Luo's persuasive skills, Natasha hesitated for a moment. In order to avoid having her other self have her salary deducted when she asked for leave, she finally ate the bread.

Just as Chen Luo said, the bread did taste very good, and... after eating the bread, Natasha was surprised to find that she had actually learned how to use the bartender's panel.

This bread is amazing!

While expressing surprise, Natasha Neri remained outwardly calm.

"How is it? Is it delicious? I didn't lie to you, did I? Speaking of which, are you going to buy some memory bread for Xiaokong and the others? That way you can directly share your knowledge with them, and they won't have to work so hard learning a foreign language. Of course, if you want to enjoy being a teacher, then disregard what I said." Chen Luo asked.

"Buy it with points?" Natasha couldn't help but ask.

After eating the memory bread, Natasha learned how to earn points.

Although Natasha didn't know who Xiaokong was, the thought that this memory bread could share knowledge reminded her of Hook and the others, and of the children in the Lower City who hadn't received a systematic education.

They don't even know what color the sky is, and they don't know how long this kind of life will last.

In addition to this common knowledge, vocational skills such as mining can also be quickly taught to younger generations, allowing them to avoid some detours...

As the leader of the Earthfire, Natasha began to covet the Memory Bread.

Natasha comes from a special city, an... underground city.

With only one city remaining on the entire planet, the planet's leader abandoned the lower city and sealed it off. Resources could only be obtained by exchanging the ore mined in the lower city through special channels.

This place is poorly equipped, dark, and the sky is never visible. This has been going on for over a decade, and some newborns have never even seen the blue sky...

If I could share some of my medical knowledge with others, perhaps those injured in lower-level areas could receive treatment more quickly.

Natasha's clinic has always been understaffed.

"Why would I buy it with money instead of points? You know we're from different worlds, and in a bar, a place that connects countless worlds, money is the most useless thing... except for some people."

"Ah."

Another valuable piece of information has been obtained—this bar connects to countless worlds.

So, do you want to buy it?

"Buy it. How much? No, how many points?"

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"The memory bread is cheap, but as a reward for you taking the day off and still coming to work, I won't charge you for it. You can take as much as you can home after get off work, and I'll give you that amount."

"……Thanks."

Now, he really had no choice but to take on the job of bartender.

Natasha is indeed very busy, but she learned from the Memory Bread that she only needs to work 4 hours a day to earn a considerable amount of points.

After considering the current state of the clinic, Natasha decided to continue working there for a few hours.

There are no seriously injured patients in the clinic right now. If it's just a minor abrasion or something similar, and it doesn't involve serious injury, then even if treatment is delayed by a few hours, it won't be a problem.

Natasha certainly possesses the heart of a healer, but in the resource-scarce Lower City, she understands the importance of making choices. If she could exchange these four hours for a large amount of Memory Bread, it would bring tremendous benefits to the Lower City.

Although it was somewhat cruel, it was a necessary decision for a leader.
