Their commission was suspicious.

The real reason was that Chen Luo had received a message from the bar that there were new customers there.

If Vita is brought out, Alicia can keep Chen Luo occupied for at least an hour.

As it turned out, Chen Luo's approach was indeed correct. When Alicia heard that Vita was adjusting her time difference inside the Poké Ball, she didn't intend to bother Vita anymore, but instead started bothering Chen Luo.

Suddenly, Chen Luo stopped in his tracks.

"Qian Jie, it's been a long time."

"Hmm." Qian Jie, who was walking towards Chen Luo from the opposite direction, responded lightly.

"Hi, Qianjie." Alicia, who was next to Chen Luo, also greeted him.

"Hmm." Qianjie still didn't offer much additional response.

This is a very normal reaction. On the contrary, if Qianjie is overly enthusiastic, it will make people feel that Qianjie has been replaced by a different person.

It wasn't until Qian Jie and Chen Luo brushed past each other that Chen Luo turned his gaze away from the person following Qian Jie.

“That’s Qianjie’s adjutant, Imer, who has also been with Qianjie the longest. Strangely, Imer seemed to want to assassinate Qianjie, but when Qianjie found out about it, he not only didn’t kill him, but also asked me to help him get him out of prison so that he could continue to be his adjutant,” Alicia explained.

"I see. Ellie, do you think... there might be some good Herrschers among them?" Chen Luo withdrew his gaze.

Chen Luo could see that the other party's omen of death was rising.

“…Who knows?” When the topic came up, Alicia seemed to remember something, and her tone was no longer as cheerful as before.

“But I think there might be a chance,” Alicia suddenly said.

"Oh, then I believe you." Chen Luo nodded.

"Huh? You believe that? Why?"

"I believe everything you say; that's trust. How's that answer?"

"Sigh...what a cheating answer," Alicia complained, but her expression was no longer as gloomy as before.

After parting ways with Alicia, Chen Luo greeted Hua, who had returned from training, and then made an excuse to go back to his bedroom, thus returning to the bar.

At the bar, Chen Luo met the new customer. A...familiar face.

"Hmm? This is the all-powerful bar owner you mentioned, Merlin?" It was Gilgamesh's familiar voice, but it lacked his usual arrogance.

"This is the first time I've met Gilgamesh alive. Hello, my name is Chen Luo," Chen Luo said after closing the bar door.

"What an impolite opening! Have you seen any other version of me?" Gilgamesh asked, holding a law book.

"Which one are you referring to?" Chen Luo asked back.

“Hahaha, it seems this is indeed a magical bar. My name is Gilgamesh, from… well, in your terms, the Seventh Singularity,” Gilgamesh introduced himself.

Chapter 2135 Gilgamesh was shocked by even the smallest thing!

"Hmm, the drinks here are just as good as my own collection. As far as the bar is concerned, it is quite competent." After tasting a glass of drink placed in front of him, Gilgamesh praised it without reservation.

[Ding! Mission complete!]

"Although the pure essence of alcoholic beverages in bars is becoming less prominent, first-time customers are often amazed by the deliciousness of both the drinks and the food," Chen Luo said.

Speaking of which, even with the increasing number of bar customers, the revenue from alcohol sales hasn't increased.

Because the food offered by bars raises the bar patrons' threshold for desire, their desires or wishes decrease.

Fortunately, there are always new customers who are passionate about food, so the bar's revenue doesn't actually decrease.

The core business of bars has now shifted from selling drinks to providing assistance. In fact, this may be the right way to run a bar.

If Wendy, the alcoholic, and Theresa, the girl with a particular obsession with bitter melon juice, hadn't been the first to come to the bar, Chen Luo's plan to use the bar to obtain initial funds wouldn't have gone so smoothly.

Thanks, Drunkard.

"Alright, the drinks are finished. Let's talk about this bar, besides the drinks." Gilgamesh magnanimously placed his glass aside.

"Oh, so that's the food, right? Delicious food is a specialty of bars." Chen Luo brought out another steak and sprinkled pearl jam on it.

If this happened in ancient times, Chen Luo's actions might have been considered as poisoning, but because he did so openly, the suspicion was much less.

"No, I mean... um, it smells pretty good, may I have a taste?" Gilgamesh was just about to get down to business when he was tempted by the aroma of the delicious food.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

Merlin, who was standing nearby, had originally intended to offer a reminder, but upon seeing Chen Luo's murderous gaze, she decisively changed her words.

"We have plenty of time, so you can enjoy the food to your heart's content, Your Majesty."

Merlin chose the safest path between being stabbed in the kidney and being stabbed in the kidney afterward.

There were quite a few people in the bar who dared to mock Chen Luo, but there were very few ruthless people who dared to stop Chen Luo from turning the raw stones.

Unless he can provide more raw stones.

Otherwise... you definitely don't want to experience the feeling of being shot by a "friendship revolver" at any time of day, and then laughing for 10 minutes straight.

Imagine this: you stay alert whenever you feel a bullet might be coming, relax your guard when you think the crisis has passed, but then the thought of Chen Luo's prophetic abilities makes you alert again the moment you relax...

It's scary to think about it.

"Makes sense."

Gilgamesh only began a formal conversation with Chen Luo after they had enjoyed the food and wine at the bar.

"Just as Merlin said, the owner of this bar is incredibly hospitable. So hospitable that it makes me suspect you have ulterior motives," Gilgamesh remarked.

"Everyone has desires in life, and my desire is to gain more benefits by fulfilling the wishes of others. If we were to use the language of the Moon World, perhaps my origin is wish?" Chen Luo said.

"The origin is a wish? Does that mean you would unconsciously help others fulfill their wishes?" Gilgamesh paused slightly.

"No, it's possible to obtain rewards by fulfilling other people's wishes. I myself find it difficult to understand the specific principles behind it. In short, once you know this basic attribute, cooperating will become much easier. Let's not beat around the bush, Gilgamesh, you have wishes, don't you?" Chen Luo said directly.

"The king's wish should be fulfilled by the king himself... Although I would like to say this, I have been unintentionally struck by disaster, and with insufficient preparation, seeking external assistance seems to be a good option." Gilgamesh rarely showed a helpless expression.

After all, anyone would have a terrible headache if they were in this situation.

“But before making a wish… we should test your capacity first,” Gilgamesh suddenly said.

"Hmm, what, do you want to fight me?" Chen Luo glanced at Gilgamesh, who was now using the Key of Royal Law as a magic wand after sealing his strongest Noble Phantasm, Ea, and appearing in the form of a wise king.

The reason for sealing Ea was that, in the face of a large number of monsters, Gilgamesh could fight them alone, but it would lead to the death of his people. Therefore, Gilgamesh distributed the wealth of his Gate of Babylon to the people of Uruk, who then used the illusionary collapse technique to launch those treasures as projectiles to fight against the monsters.

Compared to personal strength, Gilgamesh is now more focused on the efficiency of eliminating monsters, and losing Ea does not mean that Gilgamesh can no longer fight.

Gilgamesh wields his axe incredibly well!

"No, of course not. While individual strength is important, there are more important things to consider when facing an overwhelming horde of magical beasts. Show me your magic. Merlin said you can produce something that will convince me, and will surely surprise me, and even leave me completely impressed by your skill." As he said this, Gilgamesh glanced at Merlin, who was eating and drinking like he was at home in the bar.

"Hmm?" Merlin looked up.

"Gudu."

Merlin swallowed the crispy fried toad leg meat that Chen Luo had prepared for him and nodded.

"Chen Luo, you know what I mean, right?" Merlin winked at Chen Luo.

Quickly, even the smallest thing that Gilgamesh did will shock Enkidu.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"That's true... but Merlin, you didn't even tell me you were going out to play, and only remembered me when you needed help, right?" Chen Luo put his hand on Merlin's shoulder and then took out a short sword and pressed it against Merlin's waist.

Why didn't you call me for something as interesting as summoning Servants?

When Merlin saw the short sword, his whole body stiffened.

The shadow that this short sword cast on Merlin back then was a little too big, and Merlin still feels a phantom pain when he sees it now.

"No, no, I was just summoned to the Seventh Singularity by Gilgamesh by accident. I was forced to do it. Even if I wanted to tell you, it would have been too late. Besides, I brought him to you as soon as I was summoned to that world."

"Brother knows you're very interested in wishes and monsters you can farm, so I've specially arranged this for you." Merlin seemed very sincere.

"is it?"

Merlin did know that Chen Luo needed Primogems and places to farm monsters, but he also called Gilgamesh to the bar hoping to get Chen Luo's help.

Merlin alone certainly couldn't handle the seemingly endless monsters, but if it were Chen Luo, wouldn't that be a perfect match for his expertise?

"So, what's the surprise?" Gilgamesh asked.

"Wait a moment, the surprise is on its way," Chen Luo said.

Chen Luo has already notified Enkidu to come over. Although it won't take long for him to arrive, Enkidu still needs to finish what he has to do first.

"Speaking of which... the Chaldea group has only just finished the third singularity, and you've already jumped straight to the seventh singularity. Isn't that a bit of a leap?" Chen Luo summoned a crystal, in which the figures of the Chaldea group were reflected.

"What's so big about it? If we do nothing before the Chaldea group arrives at the Singularity, it'll be too late by the time they reach the Seventh Singularity," Merlin said.

In the original story, Gilgamesh resisted the monsters for half a year before Chaldea and the others reached the Seventh Singularity. Now it seems that it may not take half a year for the Chaldea group to reach the Seventh Singularity.

Chen Luo's actions also attracted Gilgamesh's attention.

Gilgamesh had heard of Chaldea.

Leaving aside the fact that ever since Gilgamesh summoned Merlin some time ago, Merlin has been constantly babbling in front of Gilgamesh. Gilgamesh himself possesses the highest level of clairvoyance, giving him the ability to see into the future.

It would be strange if Gilgamesh, as a candidate for Grand Magician, knew nothing about Chaldea.

The closer one gets to the singularity of the Age of Gods, the more likely they are to learn of the Chaldea group's existence.

In an era before the gods disappeared, prophecy, prediction, or foresight in various forms were basic practices.

Through the crystal ball displayed by Chen Luo, it can be seen that the Chaldea group seems to be preparing for an expedition to the Fourth Singularity.

Chen Luo has never stopped supporting Chaldea and the others, providing them with all sorts of strange gadgets at near cost price, trying his best to ensure that their venture doesn't collapse halfway through.

Although in theory the inhibitory force shouldn't have prevented this from happening, Chen Luo might as well lend a hand and earn some merit.

Chen Luo was still thinking about completing the Savior achievement.

Of course, that's not the point.

There are many worlds where Chen Luo can earn the Savior achievement, but there are not many that can help the Chaldea group. Merlin is one, and Chen Luo is another.

"Merlin, do you think... it would be successful to use Artoria to lure Mordred?" Chen Luo suddenly asked after glancing at the Servant lineup for the Fourth Singularity.

"...There shouldn't be any problem. But before we start fishing, it's best not to let Mordred know that Morgan is in the bar. Although it's not the same Morgan, Morgan probably still left a lot of trauma on Mordred." Merlin thought for a moment.

Gilgamesh, on the other hand, sat to the side with his eyes closed in meditation... or rather, asleep.

Gilgamesh was almost exhausted.

Just as Gilgamesh felt sleepy after his meal and the safe environment made him feel full...

"jingle!"

The wind chimes rang.

Gilgamesh, who was in a drowsy state, originally just wanted to open his eyes and peek to see if it was the surprise Chen Luo had mentioned.

But when Gilgamesh saw the familiar green-haired figure, his eyes widened instantly, and he became alert.

If you talk about Enkidu, I won't be sleepy anymore!

Chapter 2136 Just how strong is the River God's support ability?

"Enkidu?"

"Long time no see, Jill."

"..."

Gilgamesh had wondered what surprise Chen Luo had prepared for him. Could it truly deliver what Merlin had described: something that would convince him, something that would surely astound him, and even leave him utterly impressed by Chen Luo's magic?

Gilgamesh originally thought Chen Luo intended to demonstrate his strength or his background, but he didn't expect Chen Luo to do something more direct.

Oh no, now I can't deny it!

Gilgamesh had his doubts, wondering if the Enkidu before him was an imposter or someone in disguise.

However, the other party possessed an anti-counterfeiting mark that was utterly ineffective—Gilgamesh, in his excitement, also glanced at the blond child beside him.

"What are you looking at? Enkidu is mine. Stay away from me." Young Gilgamesh looked at Gilgamesh warily.

Enkidu only needs one close friend.

Gilgamesh couldn't immediately determine whether this Enkidu was genuine, but he could instantly tell from his connection with himself that the young Gilgamesh before him was indeed genuine.
