Chapter 2007: Rules

Although the bar is open at this hour, there aren't too many people.

Chen Yu and Xueli walked in together, found a seat, and sat down; a waiter immediately walked over.

Calling him a waiter is one thing, but in fact, this guy is a burly, bald man.

Moreover, he has colorful tattoos all over his body, which look extremely striking.

A drink menu was placed in front of the two, and the tattooed man glanced at Chen Yu indifferently, without saying a word.

"You order." Chen Yu smiled slightly and handed the menu in his hand to Xueli, and Xueli ordered two cocktails.

"We require payment first here." The burly man glanced at the two.

"No problem." Chen Yu took out a few banknotes and placed them on the table.

The burly man stared hard at Chen Yu, then slowly shook his head: "We don't accept this here."

"You don't accept this? Then what do you accept?" Chen Yu said with a confused look: "Don't tell me you accept Japanese Yen; I don't have any."

"We don't accept money here. To consume in our bar, you need to take out an item to exchange; banknotes don't work here," the burly man replied.

"Understood, you require barter here, right?" Chen Yu had a look of sudden realization.

"You can understand it that way, that's right, we use barter here." The burly man nodded slightly: "So, may I ask, what item are you going to take out to exchange?"

"How about this?" Chen Yu took out a Dagger and placed it on the table.

"No." The burly man didn't even think about it and shook his head directly: "Cold weapons are useless to us; we all play with this."

As he spoke, he took a gun from his waist, and this gun was none other than the famous Desert Eagle.

"Honestly, this thing might not be as useful as my Dagger." Chen Yu shook his head; his Dagger was made of meteorite iron and had Array runes blessed upon it.

It wards off evil and cuts through iron like mud; strictly speaking, the Dagger he took out is a Dharma Artifact. A gun? Since when could this thing compare to a Dharma Artifact?

"Friend, you're joking with me." The burly man grinned, took the Dagger from Chen Yu's hand, and said leisurely: "You'd better keep this Dagger of yours for children to play with; it really doesn't work here."

"Is that so?" Chen Yu took back the Dagger and lightly sliced it across the table.

Crack! The table was instantly split in two, and the cross-section was incredibly smooth, as if it had been cut by a laser.

The burly man was stunned; he seemed not to have expected that such a divine weapon could exist in this world.

He took the Dagger from Chen Yu's hand, fiddled with it twice, and then slashed at a table to the side.

With a crack, the table split in two in response. His eyes lit up, and he held the Dagger in his hand, unable to put it down: "A good blade, truly a good blade."

"So, this thing for your two cocktails, no problem, right?" Chen Yu said with a smile.

"No problem, the thing in your hand is quite interesting." The burly man also put away his previous contempt: "Do you need any additions in your cocktails?"

"No, thank you," Xueli said.

"The drinks served in our bar are all spiked. Seeing that the item you exchanged is quite good, I'll add the extras for free today." The burly man grinned and turned to leave.

The two changed to another table, and before long, the drinks they ordered were brought up.

As soon as the drinks were served, Xueli's brows furrowed involuntarily.

The drink was indeed alcohol, but a strong, bloody stench emanated from the scarlet liquid inside.

More importantly, a large eyeball was soaking in the liquid. This eyeball, one couldn't tell what it belonged to, was staring wide, and through the glass, it looked as if it were staring right at you.

"Is this thing meant for people to drink?" Chen Yu's brows furrowed slightly. Not to mention drinking it, he felt immense pressure just from looking through the glass.

Moreover, the owner of this eyeball was definitely not a creature from Earth that he knew of; it leaned more toward the parts of Demon monsters that lived in dark corners.

"Of course, this is the most popular way to drink here, called Satan's Eye," the burly man said proudly.

"Where does this eyeball come from?" Xueli's brows furrowed slightly; she also saw that this was not an animal's eyeball, but more like that of some Dark Creature.

"A creature from the Dark World, very nourishing. Hehe, you're from Huaxia, right? It's said that in your south, even aliens don't dare to go, because the people there dare to eat anything." The burly man pointed at Chen Yu and laughed.

"So I think you should be able to accept this, right?"

"We in Huaxia do have a lot to say about food, but that doesn't mean we will eat anything." Chen Yu slowly shook his head and pushed the glass back: "I can't accept this."

"Friend, you don't seem to understand the rules here." The burly man stared at Chen Yu with slanted eyes.

"Oh, what are the rules here?" Chen Yu became interested.

"The rule here is that after entering the bar, whatever drink I bring, you must drink it." The burly man grinned.

"You are being a bit unreasonable. It's not that we won't drink your alcohol, but that this drink is simply not for humans to consume." Chen Yu shook his head: "So, I'm sorry."

"No one can violate the rules here." The burly man looked at Chen Yu with slanted eyes.

"I'm afraid that won't do. I've come here today, and I'm afraid your rules will have to change a bit." Chen Yu smiled slightly and said: "I am not the type of person who follows the rules."

"Is that so? People who don't follow the rules shouldn't come here." The burly man said with some regret: "If you come, you have to follow our rules."

As soon as the burly man finished speaking, the people in the bar stood up in unison. Although there weren't many of them, they were all tall and sturdy, and each one looked like they were not to be trifled with.

Being surrounded by people like this, I'm afraid anyone would feel their scalp tingle, right?

However, these things were not for Chen Yu to consider. He smiled slightly and said: "It seems that I have to drink this glass of wine today?"

"Sorry, I'm afraid you really have to drink this glass of wine today." The burly man smiled slightly.

"Where is your boss? I want to see him," Chen Yu said.

"Then you must drink this glass of wine first; otherwise, you won't see anyone," the burly man shook his head and said.

"What mystery is inside this glass of wine? Must we drink it?" Chen Yu picked up the glass and stared straight at the eyeball.
