Chapter 134: A Night at the Bar

Since they couldn't persuade them, You'eryuan didn't force it; after all, these Red-tailed Dragonflies were enough.

At the very least, the Wealth Church would certainly offer a reasonable price; otherwise, he would have to sell them to the Wisdom Church or the Sun Church—in any case, the Wealth Church could not possibly let so many good things slip by.

"Don't you dare scam us; after all, we have hundreds of people who sacrificed a day's cooldown," Amao said, feeling quite pleased as he recalled Agou's dog-like expression.

This would also let him experience what withdrawal symptoms were like.

"Exactly 1034 of them, and they've all been processed quite well; how could I possibly scam you?" After counting the total, You'eryuan wrote a receipt for Amao. "Once the people from the Wealth Church come over, I'll have them write another one. Rest assured, you definitely won't be shortchanged."

"We're assured of that; if you don't behave, we'll just go straight to find Yunxiao." Amao had made inquiries in advance, though this was the only time he had such concerns; next time, he could just have the other party trade money for goods on the spot.

Exchanging jokes, both sides finished writing the documents and took screenshots. Amao and a group of good brothers walked along Store Street toward the Factory District and arrived at Andrew's Orphanage.

This orphanage was considered famous in the Factory District, though not everyone was willing to send their children there.

Most commoners in the Factory District viewed the orphanage with prejudice; after all, entering a welfare institution like an orphanage basically meant the child would become a serf in the future.

If they weren't truly unable to afford to raise them, no commoner would be willing to put their child into an orphanage.

As long as they had a mouthful of food, parents were unwilling to do such a thing.

Therefore, Andrew still hadn't filled the orphanage with children, and there were still seven spots left.

Even in cases where the children's biological parents wanted to take them back, Andrew wouldn't stop them, only urging the children to remember to go to the Wisdom Church's school to attend classes.

Everything was on the right track. Andrew stood at the entrance, surveying his achievements with satisfaction.

Those new Believers were truly too useful.

Just as he was feeling sentimental, Amao and Youjun arrived at the orphanage with their arms around each other's shoulders. This place wasn't hard to find; it had iconic Chinese characters on it, so it could be spotted at a glance.

"Mr. Andrew." When outside, the players wouldn't call him Bishop Andrew.

"I was waiting for you. It seems your numbers aren't very high." Andrew frowned. It looked like he wouldn't need to make these guys squeeze together today; after all, there were enough empty rooms for them to use.

Amao could barely hold back a laugh; it seemed even the NPC found it absurd that only this many people were left. "Yes, but our results were quite good—a total of over 1000 Red-tailed Dragonflies."

"Over 1000?" Although Andrew hadn't awakened, he still had some understanding of things like Spiritual Material. While Red-tailed Dragonflies weren't as expensive as the eyes of a Petrified Frog, under normal circumstances, they were still 10 silver coins each.

Now that the price of Spiritual Material within the city had risen, it was very likely these dragonflies would sell for 20 silver coins each.

That is to say, these dragonflies were worth over 200 Gold Tana, a full 25,000 Xide!

Even if the Wealth Church drove the price down, it wouldn't be lower than 20,000 Xide!

Andrew felt his eyes go a bit dry. After rubbing them, he said, "Perfect. Since you're here, I'll pay you your wages for this period first. You can go around the city today, but remember, don't cause any trouble."

"Rest assured." Amao patted his chest and followed Andrew into the office.

The wages the players had accumulated working at the Steel Plant during this time amounted to 500 Tana per person.

This sum was definitely a huge amount, enough for the players to buy quite a few things.

However, compared to the Red-tailed Dragonflies, this really didn't count for much.

After receiving their money, the players went out in twos and threes to start enjoying the nightlife of Tana City.

In the Factory District's Bar Street, the flow of people wasn't high. Although industrial production had begun to recover, people hadn't returned to the state where they could spend money lavishly on Wine like before.

Coupled with the fact that those Believers of the Sun God Cult were all busy building their church and had no income, the whole street appeared slightly desolate.

However, compared to other parts of Tana City, this place could still be considered lively.

Following what was written on the forum, the players went straight into the bar opened by Yunxiao. This bar was quite bustling, and a large group of drunks inside were already bragging about what they had seen and heard.

These players all had IDs floating above their heads, so there was no need to greet other players.

It was already obvious enough; there was no need to make it any more obvious.

"Old pal, you've come just in time." The player in charge of bartending went by the ID Vodka. He was a bartender by trade and held the same profession in real life, with his day-night cycle inverted from normal people.

Originally, he hadn't wanted to be a bartender in the game, but there was no helping it—the Wine here was simply too authentic.

After tasting the Wine here, he even felt that the Wine in real life was meaningless to drink, so he always wanted to innovate in the game.

"Come try this, Red Enchantress, the hottest cocktail lately." Vodka pushed the freshly mixed drink to Amao. "And buy one, get the second half off."

"Then I'll just take advantage of that; give me one too." Youjun sat down beside Amao and said to Vodka, "Your place is too lively; it's as if everyone in Tana City is here."

"The whole street used to be this lively. It's not because of the witch incident; many people in the Factory District went to serve the nobles as serfs." Vodka mixed another glass of Wine. "Besides, the Wisdom Church recently opened a night school, and the Sun Church is building a church again. In short, there are fewer people, but we'll never be short of people here; after all, we're the most affordable, and the Wine is the best."

After taking a sip of the Red Enchantress, Amao's eyes truly lit up. "This Wine has a strong grape flavor."

"Maybe it's because everything here is pure and natural. Anyway, it's not the taste of artificial flavoring; it's that kind of extremely pure taste." Vodka really liked the players' reactions. "We have another activity later—oh, they're already here."

As he spoke, several bunny girls dressed in cute outfits walked onto the stage in the middle of the bar.

"Did you guys come up with this?" Amao's eyes went wide. He never expected there to be this kind of entertainment in the game.

"How should I put it? It was just a while ago when Yunxiao was chatting with someone and mentioned it, and then someone overheard," Vodka said gossiping. "At the time, there was a girl in our bar named Fuling who planned to open a clothing store, and then we joked about selling bunny girl outfits, and the sketches just happened to be seen by someone in the bar."
