Their commission was suspicious.

Note that the last one is "possible".

In short, Chen Luo found the lottery interface quite frustrating. He wanted to yell at the person who designed the system, but then he remembered it was his talent and held back.

However, there was some good news. The good news was that the first ten-pull was guaranteed to yield a gold item. This was the luck that Chen Luo had converted from his overflowing primal stones, which made Chen Luo somewhat gratified.

After clicking the 10-hit combo, under Chen Luo's expectant gaze, a golden light suddenly appeared, accompanied by two purple lights, two blue lights, and five white lights.

The golden light represents five stars, making it an extremely rare item. It may also produce talent accessories, expanding the functions of talents.

Purple light represents four stars, signifying a rare and highly sought-after item, such as a fine and valuable weapon or auxiliary item. Four-star items generally possess impressive special abilities.

Blue light represents three stars, which are rare items. Some of these items are quite powerful, and occasionally there are even special three-star items that are more powerful than four-star items, but they are extremely rare. Blue items are generally unobtainable through ordinary means and possess certain special abilities.

The white light represents one-star and two-star items, the kind you can get in the ordinary world.

And Chen Luo's gains this time...

Five-star: [Midnight Bar] (Talent Accessory) (Item)

Four-star: [Friend of the Non-Human] (title), [Eye of God without Attributes] (item)

Samsung: [Red Wolf's Frying Pan] (Item), [The Unique Edgeless Sword] (Weapon)

Two-star: [Barrett M82a1 Sniper Rifle] (Weapon), [Endless Coconut Milk] (Drink)

One Star: 10 x Premium Cat Food (Pet Supplies), 1000 x Huaxia Coins, Binoculars (Item)

The sight of getting one gold and two purple items in a 10-pull made Chen Luo feel that the excess raw stones he had converted into luck, exceeding his storage limit, were actually worth the "death." After all, gold items are the kind that can change the game experience.

However, what puzzled Chen Luo was why the [Sword Without Edge] was even rarer than Barrett.

Until Chen Luo saw the equipment description for the "Unique Edgeless Sword".

The only bladeless sword:

Equipment Description: The dreams of youth, the excitement of embarking on a journey—if these two precious qualities are not sharp enough, then make up for it with courage.

Equipment characteristics: Uniquely bound, untradeable, undiscardable, will not be lost, and will not wear out. It can continuously improve itself as its owner grows. At the same time, it will give you the courage to travel and fight.

Equipment Story: This sword has no story, but the moment you hold it, it will record and witness your story.

This thing is actually an upgradeable piece of equipment, and it sounds like it's bound to the Traveler.

Is this thing really a Samsung?

As we all know, weapons with upgrade capabilities are generally considered to be bug-like.

In short, I didn't lose out in this lottery.

However, the question then arises: what exactly is the use of that one and only five-star item?

"Now the question is, what can this tavern do?" Chen Luo sat in the chair in front of the counter and pondered.

"Bartending... Although I've studied a lot of things, I've never actually done it before."

Chen Luo has done around 1000 good deeds, which means that Chen Luo has extremely strong hands-on skills. Moreover, some of the tasks are impossible to complete with the skills of an ordinary person, such as nursing.

As a result, Chen Luo learned a lot of skills, such as massage.

But as for bartending... well, Chen Luo is too young to be familiar with it.

While Chen Luo was deep in thought, his hand inadvertently rested on the counter. But as soon as Chen Luo touched the counter, it was as if he had triggered some mechanism, and the talent interface suddenly popped up.

A special shop appeared on the talent panel.

[Raw Stone Shop] — [Midnight Bar]

Currently, this shop, which is limited to bars, only offers one type of product.

[Breath of Nothingness]: 5 Primogems

【Void Wine】: Wine without a fixed flavor, but can be transformed into any wine, but will not restore the wine's special bonuses.

"..." Chen Luo silently looked at his remaining 5 raw stones.

Gan!

Is this lousy system doing this on purpose?

Okay, don't be angry, don't be angry. This system is your own talent, it's not worth getting angry.

Chapter 11 The Correct Use of Furniture Mastery

"Seriously? I haven't even made any money opening this tavern and I'm already losing money? Five raw stones? Why don't you just rob someone?" Although Chen Luo knew that this system was his talent, he still couldn't help but get angry with it.

Chen Luo had always felt that this thing, though called a talent, was more like a system, but it truly was a talent.

If this thing were a system, Chen Luo could curse it out, saying it was heartless, didn't offer a newbie gift pack, and was a black-hearted scoundrel! But who can blame him when it's his own talent?

[Do you possess the necessary bartending skills and have acquired 10 sets of corresponding bartending equipment and materials?]

Just as Chen Luo was getting angry with himself, another line of text popped up on the talent panel.

"Hmm?" Chen Luo raised an eyebrow.

This one seems more reliable.

"But this might cost money, right?" Chen Luo felt he should ask about this beforehand.

[5 raw stones plus 1000 RMB in Huaxia coins]

"...Damn it!" Although Chen Luo still wanted to swear, he had to admit that it was much better than the ridiculously cheap wine that cost five raw stones a bottle.

Just ...

"Why would someone with such a lousy talent need cash?" Chen Luo couldn't understand, he really couldn't understand, and he couldn't accept that the thousand Chinese yuan he had just received was gone just like that.

However, Chen Luo's talent remained unanswered, much like feigning death.

"Alright, alright, take it if you want, here you go." Looking at the talent panel that was pretending to be dead, Chen Luo couldn't help but sigh.

Although Chen Luo was actually quite reluctant to part with the cash, after all, with another mouth to feed, expenses would definitely increase.

Fortunately, Chen Luo has always had the habit of saving up a little money, and the Lawyer of Knowledge has gone out to do chivalrous deeds again, so he shouldn't have to worry about funding during this period.

Besides, even if there really is a funding problem, Chen Luo can simply ask his parents to let him know he wants to buy figurines and ask for more pocket money.

As for where the figure is?

It probably broke by accident.

Although Chen Luo was short of money, he wasn't so short that he had to exchange raw stones for money.

After Chen Luo nodded, he discovered that the 1000 yuan in his backpack had vanished instantly, along with his last 5 raw stones.

Oh my god, I'm really broke now.

I wonder if I can sell that Barrett to get some money.

That thing must be worth quite a bit, right?

However, despite his words, Chen Luo was truly incapable of selling arms.

The bartending equipment has been placed under the counter.

After seeing the prompt on the talent panel, Chen Luo jumped onto the bar counter and flipped inside. Since there was nothing on the counter, Chen Luo wasn't worried about knocking anything over.

After glancing at the compartment under the counter, Chen Luo noticed that there was indeed an extra set of bartending equipment.

However, Chen Luo was unsure whether the bartending equipment had been there all along, whether the talent panel was simply trying to scam him out of money, or whether the bartending equipment was actually purchased with money from the talent panel.

[Ten ingredients have been added to the shop interface; you can choose and combine them according to your cocktail-making needs.]

After hearing the prompt from the talent panel, Chen Luo opened the bar shop interface and found that it listed all kinds of alcohol, which could be used as cocktail ingredients or sold as a complete drink.

The so-called ten ingredients are simply the ingredients used to make a glass of wine of ordinary quality before Chen Luo mixes and sells it. No matter how many kinds of wine are used to make this glass of wine, it is counted as one ingredient.

Overall, it's at least cheaper and more reasonable than that 5-stone wine.

Although the material knew that the 5-stone wine must be amazing, the material didn't have that much start-up capital.

Besides, Chen Luo doesn't know how to mix drinks. How can a bar owner keep running a business if he doesn't know how to mix drinks?

Although Chen Luo hasn't yet enjoyed the benefits this bar brings him, he can roughly guess what they are.

This bar is a place that connects to another world. Since you can meet people from another world, it means that there is a possibility of accepting requests from people from another world.

"Oh right, what about the bartending skills? That's the real highlight, isn't it?" Chen Luo asked, looking at the talent panel after realizing that the reward he was expecting hadn't been given.

If you treat a midnight bar like your own home, then your bartending tools are naturally considered household items. Therefore, you'll naturally acquire bartending expertise.

"...That's it?" Chen Luo asked blankly after a five-second pause.

The talent panel continues to play dead.

"You f***ing... just a few words and you want four Primal Stones from me? What use are Primal Stones to someone with a talent panel like you? You fucking come out here, I'll beat you to death!" Chen Luo's anger was about to explode.

Yes, those few words alone are worth 4 Originium Stones. Chen Luo glanced at the material fee and realized that one Originium Stone could be exchanged for ten sets of materials.

After a great deal of effort to convince himself not to be angry with himself, Chen Luo calmed down.

Although he was tricked by the talent panel, it seemed that a new world had been opened up for Chen Luo.

Zero Point Bar is a derivative of his own talent, so it is his own shop. Since it is his own shop, it is also his own home. If it is his own home, then everything in it is considered household items, including bartending tools.

After trying to make sense of this logic, Chen Luo suddenly felt as if he could completely control the bartending tools and mix all kinds of drinks after touching them.

"This is outrageous! I originally thought that furniture mastery was just a cooking skill, but I didn't expect it to be a causal skill." Chen Luo was stunned to find that using this logic could actually achieve the desired effect.

Before he even thought about it, Chen Luo didn't even know how to handle these bartending tools, or what their scientific names were. He only knew that they were cups, all kinds of cups.

But now that the logic has been clarified, I suddenly understand it.

What does it mean to be proficient in household appliances? This is what it means to be proficient in household appliances!

Since that's the case, let's go a step further. If I learn martial arts, then from now on I'm a martial arts family. In that case, the knives, spears, and clubs in a martial arts family would also be considered household items, right?

Does that mean I can also be proficient in using swords, spears, and clubs?

For example, Theresa May has a cross called Judas, right? Some families probably display crosses in their homes, so wouldn't that count as a household item?

And another thing, although Chen Luo abandoned the project, he still vaguely remembered that General Thunder and Movie Thunder were two different people.

Since that's the case, could we use the Thunder General doll as a life-size body pillow? Aren't life-size body pillows household items?

Incredible, incredible.

This furniture expert seems truly remarkable.

Chapter 12 The Request from Barbatos, the God of Wind

Although his imagination was rich, reality was harsh. Although Chen Luo had already begun to envision himself controlling the heavens, the earth, and the air, the talent panel dealt him a fatal blow.

[The Oath of Judah weighs 152 kilograms. General Thunder can cleave an island in two with a single strike. Furthermore, the greater the difference in strength between highly autonomous items and those already owned by someone, the less effective the "Household Item Proficiency" ability will be.]

"In other words, the Furniture Mastery ability can indeed control the Oath of Judah and General Thunder, but my strength is too weak, right?" Chen Luo gradually understood the specific usage of the Furniture Mastery ability.

Unexpectedly, this is not only a causal skill, but also a growth skill.

"Ding-a-ling!" Just as Chen Luo was pondering how to further expand the application of his furniture mastery ability, the wind chimes hanging at the door rang.

Chen Luo turned his head and saw a man dressed as a blue-haired bard holding a seven-stringed zither walk into the tavern and look around.

"Midnight Bar? I've never heard of this tavern before, but the decor inside looks like a gift from angels. Won't Master Lu be angry if he sees it?" the bard muttered to himself.

In fact, Chen Luo felt the same way.

This tavern has a medieval feel, very much like the Angel's Gift tavern in Diluc's house in Genshin Impact, but at the same time it also has some modern features.

It's similar, but not entirely similar.

However, compared to the bard's complaints, the bard himself was more worthy of Chen Luo's attention.

"Like Li, a Barbatos who doesn't do anything serious?!" Chen Luo wanted to say that, but reason stopped him.

What if you scare a guest away by saying something inappropriate? We've finally got a guest, what if you say something inappropriate and it scares them away?

Thinking of this, Chen Luo couldn't help but glance at the blank Eye of God hanging on his waist.

That item was drawn by Chen Luo; it was one of two four-star items, the other being a title.
