Their commission was suspicious.

"..." Qian Jie glanced at Chen Luo and then slammed the dormitory door shut again.

If you're bad at chatting, you don't have to chat, but please don't make awkward conversations, okay? Thank you.

"Is there something about me that frightens you?" Aponia asked curiously.

Chen Luo's appearance made the threads in front of Aponia even more chaotic. Aponia would need time to sort them out, which is why she did not foresee that she and Qianjie could frighten Pado into fainting.

In Aponia's view, it is reasonable for outsiders to be afraid because they have some misunderstandings about Thousand Calamities, but why should they be afraid of themselves?

"If I had to give a reason, it might be because Aponia, your voice has a strange sense of holiness, and Pado has four ear canals, right?" Chen Luo explained to Pado, who was hanging her head.

"This..." Upon hearing this reason, Aponia was momentarily at a loss as to how to interact with Paddo.

"But you don't need to worry about Aponia. As long as you don't try to persuade her like a nun, you'll be fine," Chen Luo reminded her.

“…I understand.” Aponia nodded, no longer interrupting Pado and Chen Luo’s conversation, and returned to her dormitory.

“Pado, let Hua take you to buy some travel essentials. You’re coming with me to Mu Continent tomorrow,” Chen Luo said.

"Is there a travel allowance?" Pado asked, unusually perked up.

"Have."

"Great!"

Watching Pado excitedly leave with Hua, Chen Luo took out the Moon Clock.

Please, another me!

You take care of traveling, and I'll take care of eating, drinking, and having fun!

"Hmm?" Chen Luo suddenly frowned, then put away the moon clock in his hand.

The bar... seems to have new customers.

Chapter 1714 The Rebellious Izayoi Sakamaki

The early summer sun shines on the river, and the clear water flows slowly.

Along with the sound of flowing water, several screams rang out.

"Hey, this isn't good! This guy's really crying! He's filthy, should we put him in the river to wash him?"

"Since he's going to wash, let's just make him strip naked and jump into the river! And tie his hands and feet up too!"

"Alas!!!"

The trembling boy was curled up like a roly-poly toy. On the other side of the river, a group of thugs wearing imposing, elongated, stand-up collar uniforms with embroidered patterns on the back surrounded the boy, who had been subjected to their group violence, forcing him to kowtow and apologize.

"Hey! Hurry up and strip naked and jump into the water!"

"At least tie their hands! As long as their legs can still move, they won't die!"

"Help! Help! Help!!"

The persecution continued, and the boy's screams still echoed. The boy, beaten by the gang of thugs, was covered in mud, tears, and snot, a truly pitiful sight.

"boom!"

The entire shoreline exploded. This is not a metaphor, nor does it need to be corrected.

A rock reached an extraordinary speed comparable to the third cosmic velocity, accompanied by a loud bang and a cloud of dust, blasting the thugs and the boy, along with the riverbank, away.

One stone after another was thrown out by the boy who had just been lying on the riverbank in his high school uniform, lost in thought.

"Waaaaaah!"

"It's...it's Izayoi Sakamaki! Everyone, run!"

"Help... help!"

"You bunch of brainless idiots, if you provide some entertainment, I can repay each of you with a long-term hospital stay as a gift!"

Amidst hearty laughter, stones were hurled, creating craters – a scene worthy of being called an airdrop bombardment. Faced with this overwhelming spectacle, both the bullies and the bullied youths fled in fear.

"Hahaha, what a loser! So all you've got is an imposing exterior!"

Izayoi Sakamaki, clutching her stomach, mocks everyone's panicked escape.

Only his laughter remained, the presence of everyone else completely absent. The moment Izayoi Sakamaki's laughter ceased, a profound silence enveloped the area. Izayoi Sakamaki stood there, speechless.

"...How boring! Is there anything interesting to do...?" After waiting for a long time, Izayoi Sakamaki finally revealed her true thoughts as if venting her frustration.

Even if you find the thugs' and teenagers' ridiculous reactions ironic and laughable, they're not funny at all.

Even though he tried to laugh so hard he almost fell over, it was just an act and not enough to pass the time.

"Bang!" But just as Izayoi Sakamaki was about to pick up his schoolbag and leave, something flew out of the river and hit him squarely on the head...

It was caught by Izayoi Sakamaki before it could hit Izayoi's head.

"What is this? The revenge of the Yagawa River? Hahaha." Izayoi Sakamaki laughed.

If Izayoi Sakamaki is not mistaken, this thing that looks like a message in a bottle was probably something she threw at cosmic velocity, hitting the river and then being carried ashore.

Although this was possible, Izayoi still felt something was amiss.

As for these strange occurrences, Izayoi Sakamaki's solution has always been quite simple and brutal.

Just crush him!

Squeeze it until it bursts... Squeeze it...

"Huh? I can't squeeze it?" Izayoi Sakamaki looked at the message in a bottle in surprise.

This was the first time Izayoi Sakamaki had been surprised and embarrassed during this period of time.

Izayoi Sakamaki's stone, thrown with just her wrist strength, reached the third cosmic velocity; her fist could split mountains and seas, yet she couldn't even handle a small drifting bottle.

Out of great curiosity, Izayoi Sakamaki carefully examined the message in a bottle, then uncorked it and took out the two items inside: a business card and an ice cube.

Looking at these two not-so-novel items, Izayoi Sakamaki surprisingly felt a surge of curiosity.

Inside a message in a bottle that even I couldn't crush, there were two items; surely these two items must have a deeper meaning.

Izayoi Sakamaki took out the long block of ice and held it in her hand. She felt a chill emanating from within her body, which proved that this block of ice was not ordinary. Moreover, it showed no signs of melting under the sun.

Although Izayoi Sakamaki managed to break the ice block in two after using some force, she still managed to put the item away safely.

What if it comes in handy later?

Isn't this business card something that's more noticeable than this ice cube?

"Do you want to understand the meaning of life? Do you want to truly...live? Stop pretending. But..." Looking at the three buttons enclosed in squares, especially the one with the "or" enclosed, Izayoi Sakamaki showed an interested expression.

"So you mean you can press any of these three boxes? What if you press all three boxes at the same time?" Izayoi Sakamaki suddenly became interested.

Izayoi Sakamaki, a problem child and one of the highest-level gift holders in humanity, has interests in playing and reading. She is arrogant and somewhat violent, possesses superhuman athletic abilities, but is also very knowledgeable and has excellent logical reasoning skills, making her an unexpectedly intellectual type.

So although Izayoi Sakamaki tried to treat the bottle roughly, she didn't intend to tear up the business card.

After all, this was something that could bring a little novelty to his boring life.

When Izayoi Sakamaki placed three fingers on the boxes corresponding to the words "yes" or "no," a black hole suddenly appeared on each box, and then three things were ejected from it.

One [Sunshine], one Paradise Coin, and one lollipop.

"Interesting." After seeing that pressing the three boxes would grant three rewards, Izayoi Sakamaki became even more interested in the person who created this business card.

Moreover, the three props that appeared were quite interesting.

The sunlight looked warm, but it didn't make people feel too hot or irritable.

"The sunlight from Plants vs. Zombies?" Looking at this sunlight, Izayoi Sakamaki made a bold guess.

However, Izayoi Sakamaki did not notice the special effects of the gold coin and lollipop.

The gold coin is one thing, but Izayoi Sakamaki and this gold coin are not compatible.

The reason she was unmoved by the lollipop might be because Izayoi Sakamaki isn't a loli.

After all, no little girl could resist that lollipop.

After becoming genuinely interested, Izayoi Sakamaki turned the business card over and looked at the lifelike depiction of the gate on it before clutching the card in his hand.

……

"New guest? Hello." After Chen Luo finished settling his affairs in the previous civilization, he returned to the bar.

Although Chen Luo originally planned to spend the whole day in the previous civilization, indulging in a lot of eating, drinking, and having fun, and also to tease the armed puppets, now that a new guest has arrived, it wouldn't be a problem to postpone this matter a little.

If all else fails, we can just skip the timer and start again tomorrow.

However, when Chen Luo saw the new guest in front of him, although he knew that every new guest might bring him surprises, Chen Luo couldn't help but marvel at the fate between him and this new guest.

"Hello, my name is Chen Luo, and this is the current owner of Zero Point Bar."

"Hello, Izayoi Sakamaki. So... you can bring me some fun?" Izayoi Sakamaki gave a wild smile, looking at the boy who was about the same age as him.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

Make life more interesting: Let's have some fun!

Reward: 666 Primogems + 30 points of affection with Izayoi Sakamaki

Difficulty: 3 stars

This request reveals that Izayoi Sakamaki is genuinely bored; otherwise, she wouldn't have issued such a rewarding request for this reason.

Wishes are indeed very irrational.

The amount of raw materials a commission is given is related to the difficulty of the task, but what is more important is how much obsession a person has.

"Another difficult guest. Please have a seat. Is black tea alright?" Chen Luo asked.

"What would you do if I said no?" Izayoi Sakamaki was filled with curiosity about everything in this bar.

After all, just by imagining what a bar looks like, you can magically summon the bar on the spot.

This is also why Izayoi Sakamaki was willing to wait for half a minute even when there was no one else in the bar.

Izayoi Sakamaki is exceptionally patient in some ways.

As long as it gives the incredibly bored Izayoi Sakamaki something to do.

"Of course, we'll serve you whatever you want to drink. So, saying that might sound a bit arrogant, but whatever you want to eat or drink, the bar can conjure it up for you," Chen Luo said.

"Oh, then black tea it is," Izayoi Sakamaki said, looking at Chen Luo sitting across from her.

"...You have a rather strong rebellious streak."

"That's not important. What's important is whether you have enough fun. Just like it says on your business card, if you throw a message in a bottle at me without any proper hospitality, don't blame me for getting angry." Izayoi Sakamaki rested her chin on her hands.

"Like demolishing my shop? You're welcome to try. Forget demolishing my shop, in this bar, if you can destroy even a single thing, even your own hair, I can grant you any wish. Whether it's combat, puzzle-solving, adventure, or even killing, it's all possible," Chen Luo said.

"Snap!" Chen Luo snapped his fingers, and two cups of black tea appeared in front of Chen Luo and Izayoi Sakamaki.

Izayoi Sakamaki pondered for a moment, then took out the business card she had received and tried to tear it open, but it wouldn't budge.

The card was completely unharmed.

After a moment of surprise, Izayoi Sakamaki took out the Rokusei Ice that he had once crushed, but this time he failed again.

Izayoi Sakamaki initially thought the business card was special, but now it seems the bar itself is special, for example...

"No props can be destroyed in this bar? Interesting."

"To be precise, it is absolutely impossible for them to harm each other," Chen Luo added.

“Very well, I admit that you and your bar have piqued my interest, but that’s not all. Is there anything more interesting? I’m incredibly bored right now,” Izayoi Sakamaki said.

"Yes, of course, we have everything. What are you craving? Adventures in another world? Endless battles? Or simply want to have some fun? I happen to have the means to do all of those."

"Another world?"

"That's right, another world. Oh, I haven't fully introduced this bar to you yet. This bar is called Zero Bar, and it's a bar that connects countless worlds. Here you can see all sorts of beings. Monsters, gods, ghosts, and even more unbelievable beings."

"That sounds interesting, so when are they coming?"

"They're having a party right now, but there aren't many people. You can join if you're interested."

"Snap!" Chen Luo snapped his fingers, and the number 2 door of the bar opened, revealing the guests swimming in the soil at the edge of the World Tree.

Seeing this amazing scene, even the well-traveled and world-renowned Izayoi Sakamaki couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of the world—why can a person swim in the soil?
