363 Chapter 363 - Linshui Harbor (2/2)

”Over there!” The player's face instantly lit up with glee when he saw where Gu Fei pointed. The man Gu Fei was pointing at was Young Master Han. The liquor he had ordered was expensive and he drank quickly and in copious amounts; this sort of customer was essentially the most ideal for any bar owner. With Gu Fei actually identifying this person as a friend and heading over to help him consume the bottles, would he not drink even faster than before? The price of a glass of the finest liquor was many times more profitable than the cheapest liquor, especially since that man was drinking by the bottle.

The server instantly regarded Gu Fei warmly, grabbed the stool he was sitting on and placed it by Young Master Han's table.

Young Master Han's attention was finally drawn away from the glass of liquor he had been savoring as he turned his eyes to look at the newcomer. Seeing Gu Fei right behind that server, he did not say a word as he turned his head back and continued to haughtily imbibe his liquor.

The server became suspicious, as Young Master Han's attitude seemed to have treated Gu Fei as if he was nothing but air. Gu Fei however was unfazed by this as he patted that man and instructed him, ”Get me a glass.” He then took a seat.

The man instantly searched through his dimensional pocket and took out one of the largest glasses he had on him for Gu Fei. It was so large that even Young Master Han showed a slight hint of surprise.

The corner of the barkeep's eyes glinted as he pleasantly patted Gu Fei's shoulder. ”Enjoy.”

Gu Fei nodded, ignoring the expression on Young Master Han's face as he took that bottle of liquor and poured his glass to the brim. The size of his glass could hold almost half of the bottle in one go, so Gu Fei felt utterly satisfied when he lifted it.

Before he could even take his first sip, someone appeared beside him who asked, ”Bro, are you interested in some grilled fish?”

”Grilled fish?” He was intrigued.

The person replied by pointing him in a direction. Gu Fei followed his finger and saw a less picturesque part of the beach, where plenty of campfires could be seen. Smoke filled the air in that area as many players squatted before the fire, busying themselves with sticks. Each stick had a fish skewered on it. The players grilled the meat and checked this side of the beach for new customers. Several of them showed regret when they saw that someone else had approached Gu Fei before them.

”My cooking proficiency is at 2700; I guarantee that you'll be satisfied!” the player continued to tout.

”How much is it… uhm… Is it just a stick or an entire fish?” Gu Fei asked.

”A stick is the entire fish,” the man replied, ”but we prefer to call it a rod.”

”Are the fish that big?” Gu Fei was rather curious and wanted to know more.

”The system spawns them, so I guarantee that each fish is equally big,” the man confidently assured.

”How much?”

”Five gold coins.”

”That's pretty expensive.” Gu Fei stuck his tongue out. In truth, the food industry had not begun to develop in Yunduan City, and since they had been in a hurry to make their way through every city, Gu Fei did not have much of a clue about this matter, so he could only express his thoughts at the price he was presented with.

”That's the market rate,” the man said.

”Bring us two rods to have a taste, then!” he said.

”Right away!” The man nodded repeatedly as he backed away and sprinted off. In no time, he came back holding two wooden rods, each with a fish skewered on it. In all honesty, it looked very rudimentary, but that particularly wild aspect seemed to add to its flavor. Gu Fei gazed at the fish and felt that it was visually mouthwatering.

He happily paid the coins and took the fish from the man, casually lifting the other over to Young Master Han.

Young Master Han happened to have his glass to his lips as he slowly shook his head in response.

”Try it!” Gu Fei had already taken a bite of the fish and felt it tasted pretty good, something he would highly recommend.

”I've already had six,” Young Master Han said, pointing at the ground with his foot.

Gu Fei looked down and saw the rods on the ground, exclaiming in shock, ”Eating and drinking, you're a classic ne'er-do-well!”

Young Master Han face turned ice cold as he frigidly reminded him, ”That liquor you're drinking is mine.”

”Yes, yes. That's right.” Gu Fei nodded his head as he took a big gulp of the drink in his hand.

It was at this moment that a shout was heard. ”Look! It's that person!”The author uses a Chinese idiom here that combines eating and drinking as part of the phrase, which has the same meaning as someone who is a good-for-nothing.
