The Harvest Tavern, a gathering place for some of the lone wanderers in the player. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the interval before entering the next dungeon world, the Lone Wanderer will exchange the loot obtained from the previous dungeon world here, most of the time it is a scattered transaction, and occasionally when there is a high-quality product, a large range of transactions will be formed.

Of course, the appearance of the 'alchemist' Lemay is an exception.

However, today's 'alchemist' of good wine did not appear.

Lawlessness, who was often nested in the tavern, was not there, and after casually sending a private message to Lawless, Qin Ran glanced at the tavern with few customers.

The proprietress Rachel stood behind the bar and carefully wiped her wine glass, her golden hair shining under the illumination of the spotlights, reflecting the purple bib pants and white moaning, looking extremely energetic, capable, and unique.

It's just that the lone wanderers who often come here know the true face of this proprietress, and none of them dare to take a second look, they all bow their heads and do their own thing.

Therefore, they didn't see Rachel's distraction after Qin Ran walked in.

"Raven ......"

The voice of a mosquito whispering to himself sounded.

Rachel looked at Qin Ran in a daze.

The black figure, the fire crow on her left shoulder and the figure she had never forgotten began to overlap and merge.

"Hey, Rachel!"

Qin Ran raised his hand to say hello.

"Hmm!"

Rachel replied, bowing her head and saying nothing, as if she was wiping her glass, but the white velvet towel stopped turning completely.

Then, Rachel turned around and turned her back to Qin Ran.

Dripping wetness appeared on the white velvet towel.

Qin Ran touched the tip of his nose, slightly embarrassed.

It is different from the unscrupulous when getting along with lawlessness.

Although Qin Ran also recognizes Rachel as his friend, it may be that there is a difference between men and women, and he can't always be as natural as lawlessness.

Moreover, for such a scene, Qin Ran asked himself if he was not good at it.

So, he walked straight to Levine in the corner.

"Nice retinue!"

Levin looked at the fire crow on Qin Ran's shoulder, and said this after a moment.

This was the first thing the other party said after Qin Ran sat down.

"Where's the man who sold the retinue contract?"

Qin Ran asked very simply.

After entering the Harvest Tavern, he glanced at it.

In addition to Levin, there are a few lone wanderers, but none of them have released screenshots of items and props.

"There!"

Levine pointed to another corner of the tavern and then looked down and stroked the cat in his arms.

Qin Ran had observed the cat.

It should be the stray cats and dogs that can be seen everywhere in the huge city, and there is nothing peculiar about it.

Looking at Wright, who didn't plan to speak anymore, after having a deeper understanding of the other party's title of 'recluse', Qin Ran gestured to the other party, and walked towards the other corner of the tavern regardless of whether the other party saw it or not.

The Harvest Tavern is not big.

It's only a few big strides to walk from one corner to another.

Qin Ran walked to this corner, pulled out a chair and sat down, and asked directly.

"You have a retinue contract?"

"Hmm."

The player on the opposite side nods and shows a screenshot.

[Name: Retinue Contract]

【Type: Contract】

[Quality: Magic]

[Attributes: Sign a life that meets the rules (excluding natives) to become your retinue and fight side by side with you]

[Requirements: None]

[Note: You can choose whatever you want within the rules, whether it's a cat, a dog, or a bird - as long as you're not afraid of their death!] 】

……

Below the screenshot is the list price: 100,000.

The average price in a market.

Qin Ran glanced at the [Entourage Contract], and after proposing a deal, his eyes were on the player in front of him.

Camouflage bulletproof vest, with a large pistol around the waist, I can't see what type, but it should be a special one, the vest is a military shirt inside, the pants are also multi-functional military pants, and the foot is a pair of military boots.

If it weren't for the pistol, the person in front of him would look like a novice player who had purchased the 'set' from the system shop.

"Camouflage? Or is there something else I don't know about? ”

After habitually evaluating it, Qin Ran guessed.

To Qin Ran's surprise, the other party actually refused the transaction.

“2567？”

The other party asked.

Even if the system covered his face, from the tone, Qin Ran could hear the disdain in the other party's words.

Qin Ran raised his eyebrows, did not answer, and looked at the other party quietly.

"I'm not going to sell anything to something to do with that lawless bastard!"

The other party said.

Checkmate?

Qin Ran pondered intently, and the next moment, he thought of what Lawless had said.

'General? ’

'Isn't this bastard guy who always steals business with me dead?' ’

'That guy is my competitor in the 'mercenary business', with average strength and credibility...... It's kind of guaranteed! ’

……

When these words came to mind, Qin Ran knew that this transaction was useless.

Lawlessness is not a saint.

There are also friends and foes.

He is friends with Lawlessness, and although the general in front of him is not a lawless enemy, his competitor is absolute.

Although the two did not get to the point of fighting, cynicism was inevitable for each other.

The enemy of the enemy can be friends.

So what would be a friend's competitor?

Enemy!

There is almost no doubt about it.

Qin Ran got up and left without hesitation.

As for staying and continuing to trade with the other party?

Qin Ran hadn't thought about such a thing.

While enjoying the convenience that lawlessness provides, he also hopes that lawless competitors will speak well of him.

Qin Ran was not so naïve.

There is no such thick skin either.

The deal was not reached, and Qin Ran did not plan to stay in the Harvest Tavern for a long time, and after saying hello to Rachel, Qin Ran was ready to leave.

But before Qin Ran could say goodbye, Rachel put a glass of wine in front of him.

[Name: Orange Light Solant]

【Type: Alcoholic beverages】

【Quality: Fresh】

[Attribute: Within 10 seconds, restore 100 HP, HP recovery speed +100%]

[Requirements: None]

[Note: This is a special cocktail made by player 'Rachel', which has an extraordinary taste and special effect!] 】

……

Picking up the wine in front of him, Qin Ran looked at Rachel inexplicably.

"Drink it!"

"Good for you!"

Rachel said lightly.

"Do I have a choice?"

Qin Ran smiled and raised his glass.

Qin Ran, who has experienced several times, knows very well that when Rachel speaks in such an indifferent tone, it is when the other party is the most serious.

And at this time, it is better to cooperate.

What's more, Qin Ran believed that Rachel would not harm him.

Therefore, Qin Ran drank it all.

The wine in the glass smelled a little nastic, but it tasted sweet and sour, without the spicy stimulation he imagined.

"Kind of like a fruit ......"

The last word 'juice' didn't come out, and Qin Ran fell headlong on the bar, and the snoring began to echo.

At the moment when Qin Ran fell asleep.

The system prompt appeared.

【Player drinks the Brew of Oseris......】
