Compared to the coldness of last visit, the entire bar now felt much more lively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sexy bartender was busy at the bar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she saw Han Zhan walking towards her, she gave a professional smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey handsome, what’ll you have?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A ’Green Plum’.\" Han Zhan tapped the table as he sat down adeptly, trying not to seem too unfamiliar or abrupt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After waiting for a while and not hearing the bartender’s voice, he confusedly raised his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bartender’s bewildered gaze happened to meet his in mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Green Plum? What Green Plum?\" The bartender continued to maintain her professional smile and said, \"Dear customer, we don’t have any ’Green Plum’ here at Breeze Bar.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No Green Plum? Han Zhan was initially stunned and then understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yesterday afternoon, the Breeze Bar’s owner and bartender, where is he?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, the bartender still looked confused, suspiciously glancing at the oddly-speaking customer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could he be from another bar here to cause trouble?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, she nonetheless replied patiently: \"I am the owner of Breeze Bar, or you can call me the lady boss like others do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I bought this bar from Great Xia because it’s a ’problem bar’ that no one wanted to take over for a long time. It’s because I admire Lord Zhan, and heard there’s some connection between him and this bar, that I took it on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We usually only open Breeze Bar after six in the evening; who in their right mind opens a bar during the day?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bartender’s long string of words not only solved Han Zhan’s confusion but also strengthened his conviction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The male bartender he saw yesterday was a fake too!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No Green Plum, no male bartender, still another one of Yi Fan’s lies!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy has become increasingly adept at using lies, and if careless, one could fall for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Customer? Handsome? Little virgin?\" The bartender’s voice continued in his ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did this person start zoning out mid-conversation; isn’t he taking up space needlessly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The later it got, the more people filled the bar, every seat here was precious—I mean, if you’re not drinking, turn left out the door to the supermarket for a cup of milk tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then just recommend me something random.\" Han Zhan waved his hand disinterestedly, pondering what his next step should be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lead of the male bartender was lost, and the direction to pursue was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon entering the bar, he searched first thing, and the flyer left in the booth yesterday had already disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Han Zhan’s words, the bartender immediately smiled broadly, her impatient look disappearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I’ll make you a ’Fiery Lips’, it’s a classic here at Breeze Bar, many regulars like to order it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said this, the bartender saw Han Zhan slightly nodding, then charmingly began mixing the drink for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her technique was skilled, shaking and flipping the cocktail shaker deftly in her hands, like a butterfly fluttering with wings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially when her voluptuous body swayed along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, it was pleasing to the eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder so many patrons loved visiting Breeze Dance Hall. Han Zhan withdrew his gaze, unable to stop these musings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Handsome, here is your Fiery Lips.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bartender spoke while lifting the glass, gently kissing the rim, leaving a red lipstick imprint on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She slid the Fiery Lips across the bar to Han Zhan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, he came to Breeze Bar alone this time for investigation. If Lingzhen and Youwei saw this, they’d surely explode with jealousy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Han Zhan raised the Fiery Lips for a closer look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Different from yesterday’s ’Green Plum,’ ’Fiery Lips’ was entirely red, with a few rose petals floating on top, exuding a light floral fragrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, the lady boss’s lip scent wafted through the glass edge, giving a sensation akin to kissing a beautiful woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Zhan: \"6\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to taste it, someone patted his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young man of similar age stared directly at the bartender’s back after she returned to the kitchen, and asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, buddy, you talked to her for so long, did you ask her name and Celestial Net ID number?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No.\" Han Zhan shook his head, \"She’s the lady boss here, why don’t you just ask her anytime?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? What are you saying, the owner of Breeze Bar isn’t her, it’s that fat guy in the booth over there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man eyed Han Zhan suspiciously, \"Buddy, if you don’t want to tell me, just say so, but you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Zhan didn’t listen to the rest of the young man’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze sharpened at hearing the first sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, from under the Fiery Lips coaster, he pulled out a small square card:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old friend, long time no see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yi Fan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without another word, Han Zhan swiftly got up and chased in the direction the bartender had left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, hey! I was right, wasn’t I!\" The young man’s voice continued behind him, \"I saw it! That card, what’s written on it, is it a Celestial Net ID number, hey!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Zhan moved like lightning, weaving through the narrow alley behind the bar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The six Great Ruins within him surged with Spiritual Power brilliance, pushing his speed to the limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this speed, it only took a breath to go from alley to street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, the alluring silhouette that had just left was completely gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahead, virtual screens flickered, and Bob’s messages in the chat group popped up again: \"Old problem, root logic bug...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Zhan: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he finally somewhat understood why back in Titan City, they would constantly complain about Celestial Net bugs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Intelligent Mechanical Life isn’t all-powerful!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you need me to temporarily shut down the Energy Bricks derivation project to free up most of my computing power? I could definitely remove the bug lurking in the root logic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need.\" Han Zhan declined Bob’s suggestion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Energy Bricks derivation is crucial to Great Xia ascending to Level 6 Civilization; it cannot be delayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he saw it at the street corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A——\"Letter\" pasted on the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>",1086,"2026-06-10T05:31:25.107Z",1,"novelbin.me","fff546e5657a2bab3901e224295b23bcccd557ef80b4f74a04a377ce92522d36","i-contracted-all-ancient-divine-artifacts-chapter-509","i-contracted-all-ancient-divine-artifacts-chapter-507",617,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-contracted-all-ancient-divine-artifacts-cover.jpg"]
