Their commission was suspicious.

"Ah, that's fine, but didn't you already give it to me? Why do I need to buy it back?" Raven asked, puzzled.

"You have the nerve to ask me? After I gave you those 10 gems, you just threw them on the table and ignored them. Is that how you treat precious items? If you don't want them, I don't want to give them to you either." Chen Luo snorted coldly.

This fake gem can be used not only as a hair dryer, but also as a spellcasting material. If Raven doesn't want it, Chen Luo won't give it to her.

"What precious item? Didn't you say yourself? This is a fake. Fake gems don't have much explosive power. Do you expect me to treat it like a precious artifact?" Raven rolled her eyes at Chen Luo.

Besides, how valuable can something that can be given as a tip to 10 people be?

However, Raven was quite pleased that Chen Luo was willing to buy it back.

At least unlike some people, if they change their minds, they will simply demand their money back without even offering compensation.

Chapter 236 Jie, the guy in charge of carrying the welcome party light sticks

"Although Aro isn't fully Aro yet, he seems even more fun. But what about our welcome party? I feel like if Aro isn't Aro, the welcome party will be really awkward," Alicia said, sounding a little troubled.

Alicia designed that welcome party, considering all the possibilities, but she never considered the possibility that Alo might not be Alo.

"Hold a welcome party?" Chen Luo asked.

“Yes, there was supposed to be a welcome party for you, but it seems like it's not going to work out right now,” Alicia sighed.

"Can't hold it? No problem, hold it at my bar. My bar is huge, perfect for all kinds of welcome parties, as long as you don't mind having a new customer every now and then. But my customers usually come in the evening, it's still early now," Chen Luo suggested.

"And as long as you're not too big, you can go to the bar, regardless of whether you're a memory device or not." Chen Luo was frantically promoting his bar.

"Memory core? Bar? Great!" Alicia stroked her chin and pondered for a few seconds before answering happily.

"That bar is the one Ling mentioned, the one where you can travel through the world, right? I've been curious about it for a long time," Alicia said.

"Wait, haven't you guys ever been to a bar?" Chen Luo asked, quite surprised.

Did my past self, or rather my future self, never invite them to a bar?

That's really outrageous. Chen Luo originally thought they should all know about bars.

"Who should you ask? Shouldn't you ask yourself? Why didn't you invite us to the magical bar?" Alicia suddenly leaned closer to Chen Luo and poked his chest.

"Uh..." Chen Luo took a step back after being poked twice and began to think.

It seems that, perhaps, maybe... if he really had a choice, Chen Luo would definitely not have brought them to the bar.

Bringing them to the bar inevitably raises the question of what kind of clash will occur when the current Alicia meets the former Alicia. If such a thing happens, Chen Luo doesn't believe that nothing has changed in the past.

So the only solution is either to prevent the future Alicia and her friends from going to bars, or to prevent the past Alicia and her friends from going to bars.

Obviously, from the bar owner's perspective, it's better to let Alicia and the others come to the bar in the future, mainly because Kiana, Mei, Bronya, Theresa, Himeko and the others come to the bar every day.

In this back-and-forth exchange, what if some information is exchanged...?

And there's also Otto lurking around, eyeing the place like a hawk. Starting last night, Otto has been coming to the bar at 9 p.m. sharp, ordering a drink and sitting in a corner, slowly sipping it and observing the bar's customers.

Gee...

Therefore, from a generally rational perspective, it is quite normal that Alicia and the others did not know about bars.

Because there are many benefits to not telling them about the bar.

"It seems a bit strange to throw a welcome party for you at your bar, but I'll let it slide because of the bar's magical reputation. Hurry up and open the bar door, didn't you say you could summon me anytime?" Alicia tugged at Chen Luo's clothes, urging him on.

"Understood." Chen Luo was being shaken by Alicia, who simultaneously summoned him out of the bar.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Alicia exclaimed in surprise.

"Bang!" But before the bar could even open its doors, a loud bang, or rather, the sound of a door being kicked open, suddenly came from the back.

"Are you coming in or not? What are you talking about?" an angry voice rang out.

Upon hearing the sound, the raven was instantly reminded of some unpleasant memories.

Like Li, a man filled with rage, a thousand tribulations.

The raven cautiously turned its head, forcing itself to face the person it had once refused to see, and then it was dumbfounded.

"???"

What happened?

What happened?

What happened?

Why are there two light sticks on Qianjie's shoulders?

Welcome home, Lolo!

Do you miss us? ( *ˊ?ˋ)?

"???"

"???"

It felt as if a million alpacas were galloping through the raven's mind.

Hey, is this still the same Qianjie I know who's always cursing and swearing?

His tone was as violent as ever.

He was wearing a mask on his head as always.

But it just seems so absurd.

Is this truly a thousand tribulations? Has he truly not been possessed?

The raven was completely dumbfounded.

Not to mention ravens, Chen Luo was the same.

What kind of situation hasn't Chen Luo seen?

I've never seen anything like this before!

Is this still the same Qian Jie from the story I watched?

Saying it was jaw-dropping is an understatement.

That's ridiculous.

"Hey, what are you looking at? Want to fight? Come over here and take these broken light boards yourself!" Qian Jie noticed Chen Luo looking over in surprise and shook the two light boards he was holding in his hands with displeasure.

"How about it? Surprised? I had to persuade him for ages before he agreed to hold up the light board. I wanted to give you a surprise, but look at your expression now, you're more surprised than happy," Alicia whispered in Chen Luo's ear.

"Will we really have such a good relationship in the future?" Chen Luo was incredulous.

I exclaimed, "Wow!"

Chen Luo didn't believe it, but Alicia persuaded him, saying that if he could achieve this level, his future relationship with Qianjie should be pretty good.

Or rather, it's quite good.

"What are you two whispering about? Are you still going to the lounge?" Qianjie said unhappily, watching Chen Luo and Alicia whispering to each other.

Qianjie felt ashamed just looking at those two signs, but he was too embarrassed to smash them.

Throwing it away seems impolite.

"I'll go explain to Qianjie. Luo Luo, you'd better be prepared for him to beat you up." After saying this to Chen Luo, Alicia skipped and hopped towards Qianjie.

"Hey, wait, why did you hit me?" Chen Luo was completely bewildered, feeling utterly innocent.

I did nothing, and I don't even know what the Heavenly Tribulation is.

Then you're going to get beaten up.

Or was it because he didn't recognize Qianjie that he got beaten up?

After watching Alicia slowly run to Qianjie's side, Chen Luo sensed that something was a little off.

Chen Luo turned his head and looked around, preparing to find a suitable shield.

Eden? The relationship between Eden and Qianjie can only be described as neither good nor bad, and using Eden as a shield would feel rather sinful.

Alicia is currently next to Qianjie, so she can be ruled out as well.

Seeing Su subconsciously take a few steps back, Chen Luo knew that Su's words had probably been misinterpreted. Su was indeed very clever.

Kevin? Kevin is capable, and he can even fight Qianjie to a draw, but the key is that Kevin is leaning against the wall, so it's not easy to hide behind him.

Sakura? That's possible, but not the best choice.

Raven? Forget about ravens, she'd probably get roasted like a crow by Qianjie's breath, wouldn't she?

After running for so long, Klein finally arrived in front of me? Using a Klein the size of the Azure Book as a shield is a bit too much.

"Hmm." In the end, Chen Luo chose the simplest option.

"Ling, come here for a second." Chen Luo beckoned to Ling.

"Huh? Oh." Ling walked over, seemingly understanding, and was then placed in a very upright position by Chen Luo, who put his hands on her shoulders.

"Huh?" Ling looked at Chen Luo, who was hiding behind her with only his head showing, somewhat confused.

"Whoosh!" A sound of wind breaking rang out, and a huge light sign grazed Ling's shoulder, flying straight towards Chen Luo's exposed head.

Chen Luo immediately pulled his head back and then grabbed the handle of the light sign.

We should keep this.

This is a dark chapter in Qian Jie's history.

"Chen Luo! As expected, you always make the right choice, no matter what the situation!" Qian Jie, with his hands free, clenched his fists and looked at Chen Luo behind Ling.

Because of the light board, Chen Luo was dragged back two steps by the enormous force attached to it, but he managed to grab it and put it into his backpack.

Qianjie originally had two light boards with him. He threw one out, which hit Chen Luo, and the other was taken away by Alicia beforehand.

Out of respect for Ling, Qianjie didn't seem to have the urge to continue fighting.

"Qianjie, Qianjie, we're going to Lolo's bar for a party, why don't you come with us?" Alicia said to Qianjie after slinging the light sign behind her back.

"Bring that sign over so I can smash it and I'll go." Qianjie looked at the brightly lit sign behind Alicia and the big words on it, and he got angry.

Alicia must have taken it beforehand because she was afraid of breaking it.

And then use this thing to make fun of yourself later?

You think my brother Jie is the most irrational? No, my brother Jie is the most normal, okay?

My brother Jie is incredibly clever.

"Okay, it's a deal, no take-backs allowed." But to Qian Jie's surprise, after he said that, Alicia actually handed over the light board she was carrying on her back to him with great enthusiasm.

"We agreed to go to a bar together, no backing out, okay?" Alicia said with a smile.

Qianjie took the light sign expressionlessly, crumpled it up, and then burned it. He became even angrier after that.

Alicia is plotting against me again.

Did she anticipate that I would make this request?

Qianjie was quite annoyed, but looking at Alicia's smiling face, he felt too embarrassed to slap her.

Alicia loves everyone, and naturally, everyone will love her in return.

No one can refuse Alicia! No one!

Including a thousand eons!

So, amidst Alicia's shoving, Qianjie was also pulled to the front of the bar.

"Did you all see this bar? Please remember what it looks like. Once you remember it, you can summon it whenever you want to come here," Chen Luo introduced to everyone from the bar's entrance.

“Then I’ll give it a try!” Alicia suddenly raised her hand.

“…Okay.” Chen Luo nodded, then made the bar disappear again.

"Yes, open sesame!" Alicia stood still and shouted a slogan.

Then the bar appeared in front of Alicia in an instant.

"It worked! Great!" Alicia cheered.
