Their commission was suspicious.

However, if you want to see it in detail, that's not something Hestia can do, but rather the power of the goddess of beauty who lives at the top of the Tower of Babel.

Even after sealing her power, that goddess of beauty still possessed the divine eye to see through the souls of others. It was with this ability that she constantly poached members from her own clan, turning them into the most powerful clan.

"They are not my kin. My hero is already sharpening his sword, and that's what I've come here for. But before that, I need to discuss this matter thoroughly with the gods to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings," Chen Luo said.

"Are you sure this is a discussion?" Hestia looked at Chen Luo suspiciously.

In Hestia's memory, Chen Luo had never consulted with the gods; he usually made unilateral announcements...

But after the announcement, no one objected. Isn't it just a matter of discussion?

“Okay, it’s a threat.” Chen Luo admitted the fact.

Having the ability and not having the ability are two different things.

Now that Chen Luo possesses the God-Slaying Whip gifted by the world's consciousness, even though it was initially intended to educate Haruhi Suzumiya, it doesn't prevent him from using it in this world.

Moreover, the world consciousness of this world has already incorporated the God-Slaying Whip into Chen Luo's current identity's regular weapon, so isn't the world consciousness's intention already quite clear?

"That's more like it. Don't beat around the bush next time."

“Speaking of which… there’s a gathering of gods today, right?” Chen Luo looked up at the upper level of the Tower of Babel.

"It's tomorrow. What do you want to do?"

"Of course, we should take them all at once. That way, I won't have to go looking for them one by one."

“But that’s a ball,” Hestia reminded her.

The Divine Assembly is a meeting held every three months by the gods of Orari. Besides gossiping and exchanging information, they also discuss the granting of titles to adventurers after leveling up.

Today is just a simple dance party.

Who knows what kind of intense situations will occur after Chen Luo arrives at this ball?

Previously, those gods in the heavenly realm couldn't defeat Chen Luo because of the God-Slaying Whip. Now that they've come to the mortal realm, Chen Luo can still use the God-Slaying Whip, while the gods can no longer use their divine power. Wouldn't they all get a beating?

"What's wrong with a ball? That's what we want, a ball."

“Freya will be there too,” Hestia suddenly thought.

"Tch." Chen Luo looked disgusted.

"So you're not going?" Hestia asked, somewhat surprised.

Great.

"Sorry, I still have to go. See you tomorrow." Chen Luo glanced at the time, which was already close to dusk.

Chen Luo arrived in this world yesterday using world coordinates and then left using a teleportation anchor point, so this world is not connected to the bar and therefore cannot adjust time.

Moreover, since there was no connection, Chen Luo slept through the night while a day passed here.

"Let's go, let's explore Orario some more, then I'll take you to dinner," Chen Luo said to the people around him.

Chapter 1595 Loki, the God of Lies and Deception, and [108 Ways to Prevent Fraud]

"cheers!"

The Law Master clinked his wine cup with Chen Luo and the others.

"Alright, cheers! Hand over your glasses, no drinking allowed!"

"Ugh?"

"You're still a child." Chen Luo snatched the oak wine glass from the Herrscher of Knowledge.

"Then why did you ask the barista to pour me beer?" The Herrscher of Knowledge was dumbfounded.

"After all, in a bar like this, you should clink glasses with beer to fit the atmosphere, but even if it fits the atmosphere, you still can't drink alcohol."

"..." The Herald of Knowledge looked around at the people around him, picked up his wine glass and drank heartily, then looked at the beer in front of him that had been replaced with juice by Chen Luo and fell into deep thought.

Do your adventurers drink soft drinks instead of beer?

Although the Herrscher of Knowledge did not go on the adventure, that's the atmosphere she wanted.

And why do we have to switch from beer to juice after clinking glasses?

That's so weird...

However, the Herald of Knowledge indeed doesn't like drinking beer.

To be frank, all alcohol in the world is garbage! Fruit juice is much better!

"A Coke, please!" said the Herrscher of Knowledge after finishing the juice in front of her.

"Drink less of your beverages, or you won't be able to eat later," Chen Luo said.

"Oh dear, cousin, you really look like an old lady right now!" Su Yuan said with disdain.

"It feels like... the Abyss Passage is missing a tavern with an adventurous atmosphere like this. No wonder it always feels like something's missing from the Abyss Passage." Yun Xia nodded.

"Why don't you go and talk to the consciousness of the Abyss Passage later?" Yun Xia nudged Chen Luo's waist with her elbow.

"But isn't there a tavern in the Abyss Passage?"

"But those taverns are almost going out of business because of the Adventurers' Guild," Yun Xia sighed.

Before Chen Luo went there, the tavern in the Abyss Passage was a place to accept quests, which is why it was always very lively before Chen Luo arrived.

However, after Chen Luo submitted a very simple investigation report to the Abyss Passage, the Abyss Passage established an Adventurers' Guild.

Although the initial impact was manageable for the tavern, as the Adventurers' Guild became more and more active, and the tavern lost its special status as a quest-taking venue and became just an ordinary tavern, allowing other people to open taverns and squeeze into the market, the tavern has now entered an era of intense competition.

The result is that the more you curl it, the more crowded it gets; the more crowded it gets, the curlier it becomes; and the more you curl it, the yellower it gets...

When Yunxia and her friends went to the Abyss Passage in Xinghai City last time, there was only one bar. But when they returned to the Adventurers' Guild to complete their quest after the adventure, there were three more bars. By the time they left the Abyss Passage, the street was full of bars.

Yunxia, ​​who suffers from decision-making difficulties, stood in front of that group of taverns and chose to go home.

"What does this have to do with me? I was just offering a suggestion. If the tavern goes out of business after the Abyss Passage is implemented, you can blame me?" Chen Luo retorted.

"It's not that I'm blaming you... I mean, why don't you open a chain of your Zero Point Bar? Talk to Abyss Passage about it, maybe it'll work out. That way I won't have to worry about which pub to eat at."

"No, I won't do anything without being entrusted with it." Chen Luo rejected Yun Xia's proposal.

Opening branch stores is tiring and troublesome, and I haven't entrusted it to anyone yet.

One bar is enough for Chen Luo to run.

However, Chen Luo is currently considering whether to expand the bar...

The bar can also be expanded, but it costs raw gems.

The first floor is already overflowing with people from the bar. The second floor is almost half full too…

Expanding the bar will cost money, but having nowhere for customers to sit will further hinder future business opportunities.

"This is our restaurant's recommendation for today. Please enjoy." A silver-gray-haired girl placed a piece of meat, the type of which was unclear, on the table and then immediately slipped away.

"Wait a minute," Chen Luo suddenly called out to the other person.

"What is it, guest?" The girl who was called stiffened for a moment, then smiled again and asked Chen Luo.

But strangely, she did look away, not daring to look directly at Chen Luo.

"Want to eat together? Don't be so formal when old friends meet," Chen Luo invited.

"You've mistaken me for someone else. My name is Xi'er," the other person said with a forced smile.

"Look how coincidental this is! I have three friends named Xier, so one more Xier won't make a difference."

"Sorry, that won't work either. I'm working right now." Seele shook her head.

"What's wrong? What happened?" A green-haired half-elf girl walked over, and Chen Luo was also met with a rather warning look.

Liu Liang is a half-elf girl with a rather tragic background, but she is very skilled in combat.

Because I often work in bars, and the customers are mostly hot-blooded adventurers, it's quite normal to encounter other people harassing me.

However, when this happens, it's time for Ryu to make her appearance.

Or rather, there are several other capable women in the entire Abundant Mistress's Tavern.

Therefore, the tavern has always had a low rate of disturbances, because any troublemakers have already been thrown out.

Ke Liu thought Chen Luo didn't seem like the type to flirt with others so easily... Besides, she was the one who was supposed to deliver this meal, but Xi'er took it from her.

Liu initially thought Xier was interested in Chen Luo, but now she doesn't dare to look Chen Luo in the eye... That's strange.

"It's nothing, it's just that my name seems to be very similar to this guest's companion's name," Seele said, shaking her head.

"Really?"

“Really. I have a friend named Xier,” Chen Luo explained.

"Since you two still have work to do, go ahead and get busy."

After hearing Chen Luo and Xi'er's explanations, Liu didn't take it to heart and continued working, while Xi'er bowed slightly and ran off.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with that person?" Xiao Shi, who was sitting next to Chen Luo, asked.

"Didn't you notice?"

"What can I tell? I can only tell that her outward appearance and inner self seem somewhat mismatched. I can't see anything else. It's because she's not used to the local environment," the Herald of Knowledge said while eating.

This is why the Herrscher of Consciousness prefers to stay in Chen Luo's sea of ​​consciousness when traveling to other worlds, because the Herrscher of Consciousness is not able to adapt to other worlds unless it is in the Spiritual Dimension or the Honkai Three Worlds.

Even in the most tolerant world, the Herrscher of Knowledge can only exert 98% of its power at most; that world is still the Collapsed Starry Sky Railway World.

As long as it's in another world, the Herrscher of Knowledge has never been able to unleash its full power.

The same applies to others.

Unless Chen Luo issues them identity cards, gains recognition from the world's consciousness, and the world they live in is one whose worldview allows for the existence of supernatural powers, everyone who comes here will suffer from culture shock.

"You're not trying to get close to her just because her name is Xi'er, are you?" Yunxia asked from the side.

“No, that person… seems to possess divinity, but it’s very hidden. My abilities only allow me to see to this extent.” Before Chen Luo could speak, Liu Huaixi interjected.

Since it was lunchtime, Chen Luo invited all the people who usually came to his house for lunch to have dinner at this bar.

This includes, but is not limited to, Liu Huaixi, Yun Xia, Su Yuan, Bai Zhi, and Bai Qiqi, the dog belonging to Chen Luo's family.

Yun Lian'er? She's still reading in the basement of the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

Yunxia and the others didn't know beforehand that Chen Luo had been to this world, so they hadn't had time to look up any information about it and knew nothing about it.

"Strictly speaking, that person was an alternate account created by the goddess Freya, but this person named Seele actually existed. As for the specifics... what does that have to do with us? Let's eat."

Seele Frova, the trumpet of the goddess Freya

In fact, Seele herself is a member of Freya's Familia, and her name is Helen. She obtained this name after signing a contract with Freya.

However, Freya shares all five senses and a portion of her cognitive abilities, so the Seele you usually see in the tavern is actually Freya herself, operating under the Seele alternate account. (The one in the tavern right now is Freya in her true form. The real Seele used a transformation spell to become Freya and is working overtime, but the shared senses are active.)

The reason the other party was willing to work in this tavern was not for money; the Freya Familia is one of the two major Familias standing at the pinnacle of the entire Orari.

Her reason for doing this was that all sorts of people would come to the shop, and many people meant many discoveries. As someone with the ability to see into souls, Freya was very interested in interacting with strangers (in the real sense) and observing them.

However, the girl named Seele, whose body was possessed, voluntarily made a contract with Freya, so Chen Luo had no intention of interfering at all.

If they're happy to do it, what's it to you?

In fact, Chen Luo understood Freya to some extent, because when Chen Luo looked at the various customers in the bar, he could see all kinds of emotions, realities, and fates.

However, Chen Luo still prefers completing commissions.

The reason why Seele's attitude towards Chen Luo was so strange was also because of Freya... She wanted to get close but dared not, and dared not get close but still wanted to get close.

Freya, possessing eyes that can see through the essence of souls, may have taken a different view of Chen Luo because of this incident, but it's also because Chen Luo's soul essence is too heavy that Freya cannot get close to him.

Chen Luo was actually somewhat aware of the uniqueness of his soul.

[It's somewhat similar to the relationship between Icarus and the sun. If she dares to stare at you for too long, she'll dare to go blind.]

Ha, she doesn't even dare to look at the user-friendly plugins, what makes her so special?

"Meow, the customers with reservations have arrived, meow." With this announcement from another cat-eared waiter, many people turned their attention to the group walking in from outside.

Those were members of Loki's Familia.

The Loki people love to eat at this tavern, and now it's to celebrate the Loki Familia's great victory on this expedition.

This is also why Chen Luo specifically came to this bar for dinner.
