Their commission was suspicious.

After all, Chen Luo is the boss of the Adventurers in the Paradise.

Chen Luo gave them a holiday, so what else could they do?

Not long after the pinned announcement was posted, someone came knocking on the door.

"Chen Luo, please summon my silver self and have her tidy up Gensokyo, and also plan out all the unplanned land in Golden Gensokyo and mark its uses." Yukari Yakumo was the first to arrive at the bar.

For the lazy Yukari Yakumo, any opportunity to slack off is something she will naturally take without hesitation.

In fact, Yukari Yakumo has been working all along, for example, exploring the Dimensional Sea.

Yukari Yakumo had already reached a medium-sized safe point this afternoon, but because the exploration time overlapped with that of a large safe point, Chen Luo only sent one Paradise Adventurer to manage the business.

"I need to tell you something..." Chen Luo had only said half a sentence when he was interrupted by Yakumo Yukari.

"Just tell me whether you'll help or not."

[Ding! You have a new request!]

“Why wouldn’t I help?” Chen Luo nodded.

Chen Luo had no reason to refuse such a simple, convenient, easy-to-complete, and readily available commission.

The main purpose of this pinned post and announcement is indeed to invite everyone to the banquet, but making some raw gems on the side can also help recoup some costs.

[Ding! Mission complete!]

Chen Luo completed the task smoothly; after all, there was no reason for Chen Luo to fail at such a task.

The only problem is... Yukari Yakumo and Silver Yukari Yakumo got into a fight.

"Yukari Yakumo, I need to remind you of something. If you didn't summon your other self to attend the banquet, but rather to have the other person finish all the work you've been accumulating for a long time, is it possible that your other silver self is thinking the same thing?" Chen Luo said gloatingly from the side.

Chen Luo had just wanted to remind Yakumo Yukari, but she interrupted him halfway through.

"Why should I share a bite to eat with you when you come to this party? And now you expect me to finish the things you've been accumulating for half a month? All you do is wander around different worlds all day. You don't even know how to make use of the vacant land in Golden Gensokyo. Instead, you push all the work onto me!" Silver Yakumo Yukari said, pulling Yakumo Yukari's hair.

If it's just replacing a few hours of work, it's not unreasonable. We're all human, and it's easy to understand each other. But you want me to finish the work you've accumulated over several days or even more than ten days in just a few hours... Why don't you just die?

Attending a banquet?! Attending my foot!

Yukari Yakumo gave a negative example to the other banquet attendees who rushed to the scene upon hearing the news.

Therefore, the subsequent communication between the main body and the silver version of himself was very quiet and cautious.

Unless there is a genuine need for another self to help with something, I will not ask Chen Luo to use the River God's abilities to help me.

But for busy people like Fu Xuan, it is truly necessary.

There's also Bai Lu; she needs Silver Bai Lu's help to disguise herself.

Another example is the silver Möbius.

"You've been watching the show the whole time, and you didn't even cancel her summons until everyone else arrived. Am I just a tool to you?" After the silver version of herself was finally canceled from the summons just before the banquet was about to begin, Yakumo Yukari, now free, ran up to Chen Luo and started pointing and gesturing at him.

Yakumo Yukari isn't stupid. Chen Luo was clearly using Yakumo Yukari's example to promote the negative consequences of arbitrarily assigning work to Silver.

"Stop talking nonsense, 2000 Paradise Coins."

"Okay, brother." Yukari Yakumo was persuaded quite quickly.

But the farce ended, and the banquet had only just begun.

While Yakumo Yukari and Silver Yakumo Yukari were fighting, Chen Luo's many puppets had already arranged all the various delicacies provided by Xiao Jiu.

Alicia arrived at the bar in her usual manner.

Meanwhile, in the new world, countless adventurers of the Paradise sat under the starlight, watching the large quantities of rare and exotic fruits purchased with crowdfunded Paradise Coins, as well as strange specialties brought from other worlds, and entered a moment of celebration.

Rather than a celebration banquet prepared for Alicia, it was more like a carnival to let everyone in the park relax.

Just like the banquets that are often held in Gensokyo... what reason is needed to hold a banquet?

Everything is ready.

"cheers!"

Chapter 2016 Xiaoshi: Look at Chen Luo, your face is covered in lipstick marks... Why didn't you take me with you?

"?"

"??"

"???"

When Chen Luo opened his eyes, the scene before him shocked him greatly.

Being alone in a bar is fine.

But why is my bar full of drunk girls?

Actually, it wasn't as ambiguous as one might imagine. These girls were sitting properly in their chairs, though their postures were a little unladylike.

Some people even shove their faces directly into the bowl; yes, that's Yuyuko.

They might really be drunk.

Besides those who were so drunk they appeared somewhat human, some simply collapsed on the floor.

For example, Chen Luo himself.

But the question is, what about the boys?

Why didn't I see a single boy?

What happened?

"Would you like me to help you remember?" the user-friendly plugin's voice suddenly rang out.

While user-friendly plugins can be quite unconventional at times, they...

"Then... try to recall?"

Yesterday's banquet was a great success.

The various celestial fruits provided by Xiao Jiu from the Immortal Realm were also incredibly delicious, and at wholesale prices, ensuring everyone in the bar had a satisfying meal.

[The wine was made from exquisite nectar, and everyone ate their fill of various celestial fruits, including the fruit of the Tree of Life—a truly special treat. Everyone ate to their heart's content.]

Yes, Chen Luo also remembers that this is how it happened.

Chen Luo remembered that the banquet was almost over around 10 o'clock. After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, it was time to embark on their journey.

A bar is a free place with little drinking culture and no situation where a banquet won't end unless the leader says so, because there are no leaders at all.

After two hours of eating and drinking and chatting, everyone started to feel a bit unwell due to the alcohol and excessive excitement.

The banquet ended around 10 PM, and the following time was free time for everyone to do as they pleased.

However, the satisfying effects of the elixir made everyone somewhat drowsy, so some went to sleep, while others went to sleep under the World Tree.

Because the Valkyrie Dormitory in the bar is only for females and is quite comfortable, many girls chose to stay there. Since there were no seats for boys in the bar, they either ended up buried under the World Tree or went home.

That makes sense.

Chen Luo didn't sense anything was wrong.

Chen Luo even remembered that he packed up all the remaining elixirs and silver fruits from the bar and threw them into the dimensional sea.

Since even Raven and the others are drunk, who has the energy to clean up the bar?

Gensokyo has extensive experience in hosting banquets, and Yukari Yakumo, a great youkai who has lived in Gensokyo for many years, clearly stated that hosting a banquet is not difficult; the difficulty lies in the follow-up work.

So Chen Luo packed all those things up and threw them into the Dimensional Sea.

But this doesn't mean Chen Luo lacks manners, because everyone does it this way.

In any case, the dimensional sea is full of various crises and storms, and ordinary trash cannot be left for long.

Moreover, Chen Luo didn't throw away trash; he threw away a silver fairy fruit.

If it weren't for the fact that Chen Luo only needed gold and silver items and not ordinary items, and that Xiao Jiu, the Heavenly Emperor, could secretly use his River God abilities to copy all the immortal fruits in the Immortal Realm's orchard to obtain gold and silver items without spending a penny... this banquet would have been enough to consume 1/10 of the total budget of nearly 20 billion Paradise Adventurers.

Xiao Jiu is just earning a meager living through hard work.

If a lucky person finds these things... it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they've reached the pinnacle of success.

There are many things that can prolong life, and they can also bring tremendous energy.

[Just admit you're lazy. Tch.]

"And then what happened?" Chen Luo changed the subject.

[If things had ended there, they certainly wouldn't have turned out this way. The culprits are still those girls living in the Valkyrie dormitory.]

After drinking copious amounts of nectar and failing to sleep for an hour under the influence of alcohol, some of the girls decided to launch a night raid. They left the Valkyrie dormitory and arrived at the third-floor attic.

"and then?"

Then I encountered other girls waiting in line to knock on doors.

"...Then why do I have no recollection of it at all?"

[Because after you got annoyed by the knocking on the door, you opened it only to be dragged into a night of partying by people who couldn't sleep at all.]

[You certainly don't get drunk, because you don't drink at all, but later, at Alicia's urging, you took out that indescribable drink.]

"That can't be right. How could I be so stupid as to drink even if I know I'll get drunk after just one sip?" Chen Luo was somewhat skeptical of the truthfulness of the humanized plugin's words.

Would you like to see your client's records?

The mention of the user-friendly plugin startled Chen Luo. He then summoned his talent panel, checked his commission records, and saw a group commission.

[Have a drink]: As the saying goes, one should not leave until one is drunk. How can one not drink at a banquet? Just one sip.

It's not surprising that this commission exists, but what's outrageous is that it's a group commission.

This shows that at the time, it was definitely not just one person who thought this way, and that the idea was very strong.

Crucially, the reward for this quest is a whopping 1500 Primogems.

Drinking this wine will not only make up for the fact that all the fine wines and food were brought out early tonight, leaving everyone with no extra desires and resulting in the bar making no profit tonight, but will also make a fortune.

Was he gambling that he wouldn't get drunk after just one sip of alcohol, or was he gambling that if he did get drunk, these girls wouldn't do anything to him...?

What? You're not drinking?

This was not even considered!

"And then I blacked out?"

Then you blacked out. And you probably forgot quite a lot of things.

"..."

The bad news is that there were many girls in the bar eyeing you, and under the influence of alcohol, you seemed to have some bolder ideas.

Upon hearing this, Chen Luo's heart tightened instinctively.

The worse news is that because everyone is here and wary of each other, it's impossible to make a move. So they can only watch each other while drinking in silence, and eventually everyone gets drunk. Fine wine has a strong aftereffect.

"...Luckily, I got drunk after drinking." Chen Luo said with some relief.

Oh, no, after you drank that indescribable wine, you were actually confused for a while and said some nonsensical things.

"Nonsense?"

[Yeah, things like "Everyone is my wings," "After this banquet, I'm going back to my hometown to get married," and "My first kiss is still here, so first come, first served," etc.]

"???"

The first two are understandable, after all, that wine really made Chen Luo unconscious, so it's normal for him to say some drunken nonsense.

But what the heck is the last one?

Moreover, Chen Luo remembered that he seemed to have lost his first kiss.

Okay, stop wondering. Go wash your face now, so no one sees the lipstick stain and thinks you're cheating on someone.

"what?"

Using the Void Treasury to condense a mirror, Chen Luo glanced at the red marks on his face, then silently closed and opened his eyes again, finding that nothing had changed.

[By the way, since no one was around to look after Xiaoshi, everyone tacitly waited until Xiaoshi was completely drunk before doing whatever they wanted to you.]

"..." Chen Luo had no choice but to put the mirror away and get up... Before getting up, he moved Xiao Shi's legs, which were sitting on the chair with her feet on his shoulders, to the side.
