60 Prepared for Promotion

"I am Lin Fowles Xi, an abnormality investigator.

"My assistant Mang Sheng vanished mysteriously during an accident. Now, I am searching high and low for his whereabouts… This is fated to be a lonely journey and also destined to be a dangerous exploration. I will lead all of you to contact the mysterious and treacherous world, let's go (ง• _ •) ง!"

After finishing her opening speech, Lin Xiaoxi turned around with the camera. "Today, we found a new bar, which is on Gu Lou Road. It is called lost… The name alone sounds strange enough. There is even a couplet in front of the door. 'Bitterness is endless in life, but I can overcome it.'"

As she spoke, she then ran to the door and took a close-up shot of it. She stroked her beautiful and clean chin at the door and said, "Inexplicable name, weird couplet. There must be something strange here."

Lin Xiaoxi gave a serious look. "See, Mang Sheng, I saw through the problem!"

Li Yao's face turned dark as he watched Lin Xiaoxi act.

This girl is getting better at playing.

He glanced just now and found that Lin Xiaoxi was doing a live-stream on some platform, so he took out his mobile phone and opened the software to find it. He really found Lin Xiaoxi's live stream on the home page.

Damn it, she's actually rather popular!

Are people all so free nowadays?

Li Yao clicked and entered it. He noticed the bullet screen on top.

"I_am_an_old_cow: Hey, sister. I am your Mang Sheng~ Sis, where are you? Mang Sheng will come and look for you now~"

"DevilGodConan: Idiot, didn't she say Gu Lou Street already? Sis, I'm coming to find you now! Hope I bump into you~~"

DevilGodConan gifted an airplane…

FierceAfterDeath gifted a rocket… Sis, will we see something really abnormal today?

Alright.

Seems like Lin Xiaoxi is still rather popular.

In fact, she even gave herself an identity and came up with a whole narrative. Did she learn all of these on her own without a teacher?

Moreover…

This is a live-stream that looked into paranormal activities… She does not remember the incident that happened previously, huh? She actually still dares to play like this. Li Yao wondered if the people in the bar next door would feel anxious if they knew that there was a young girl searching for them.

Lin Xiaoxi pointed the camera around the entire bar. The decorative style was rather impressive, and it did attract the attention of some viewers. When the camera went to Li Yao, the bullet screen was filled up.

"I_am_an_old_cow: Oh, the boss is rather good-looking."

"VillageFlower: Wow, bro, can I add you on WeChat?"

"GetMeWhipsandCandles: Wait for me, Boss, I'm going over now!"

Li Yao pushed the camera away with a dark face. "Sorry, the boss is very expensive. You guys can't afford it."

Cao Rui shoved himself in front of the camera. "Me, me! I am willing to sell my body but not any form of art!"

The bullet screen went empty…

Cao Rui was very depressed.

This is discrimination!

Do I not have human rights because I don't look so good!?

When Lin Xiaoxi moved the camera to Chen Xi, the bullet screen exploded in an instant.

"HaveYouEatenBro: Damn??? The boss actually has a hidden weapon!!!"

"IDriveABrady: Where is this shop? I'll drive my Brady over right now!"

"JustAPilot: Make way, my helicopter is taking off!"

"ILoveSweetiesFromChengDu: Is it too late if I go by sea now?"

"MenArePigTrotters: Hey the one above me, don't you like sweeties? F*ckboy!"

"ILoveSweetiesFromChengDu: But sweeties don't love me…"

Lin Xiaoxi was a little confused herself.

What the f*ck.

The bullet screen on her live-stream had actually broken her record!

Indeed, men are beasts!

But she was on live-stream now.

She was clearly unhappy deep down, but she still had to keep her smile on…

Sad!

Lin Xiaoxi glanced at Chen Xi.

She is indeed fierce!

Lin Xiaoxi looked at herself and felt a little discouraged in an instant. (●̄(_) ̄●)...

I can't compete against her…

I shall take my leave. I shall take my leave.

After introducing the pub in general, Lin Xiaoxi quickly ended today's live stream in a cute manner. Then, she slapped the live stream equipment on the bar counter and stared at Li Yao with an unkind look. "Oh, Li Yao, you've changed!"

You actually have a hidden weapon here!

Li Yao hit Lin Xiaoxi. "What are you looking for all day long!"

Lin Xiaoxi: (キ`゚Д゚́)!!

You hit me again!

She held her head and moved away from Li Yao. She walked towards Chen Xi and held Chen Xi's arm with a silly smile on her face. She kept rubbing herself close to this hidden weapon. "Wow, Miss, you look so good! Let's add each other on WeChat ~"

Chen Xi felt like something was unusually wrong.

But she still agreed.

She's also a good-looking lady, there shouldn't be a problem… right?

Cao Rui went crazy looking at them from the bar counter.

I also want to go and rub against her!

The pub that was usually deserted was now a lot more lively due to the arrival of the 'Husky' and 'Lin Fowles Xi'. After a while, Chen Tao and Brother Shuisheng also came over. Everyone got together and had two beers and a few bottles of wine, and they brought out some snacks. They played guessing games and dice games. The atmosphere gradually became livelier.

When they were all high, Zhou Li, Qi Qi, and Old Lu from next door came over. After some beers, Zhou Li dragged Cao Rui away, wanting to become sworn brothers with him. Qi Qi instantly clenched her fists secretly!

Old Lu sat in a corner, shaking the glass of red wine in his hand in an elegant and ceremonial way. His eyes seemed kind.

It was as if he was an old man watching his grandchildren playing.

Liveliness belonged to the youth. He only watched.

He liked this lively yet harmonious feeling.

Until it was late in the night.

Li Shishi came uninvited. She also brought someone along. It was Xu Qingyu, the person who was slapped last time and then developed special potential. Li Shishi's face was even darker when she saw such a lively atmosphere there. "Well, Li Yao, I've been busying my *ss off the whole day, and here you are, drinking and having fun! Do you have no conscience! Do you not feel bad for me? For being so busy out there?!"

Cao Rui was a little giddy from drinking, and he was confused.

Who is that?

Why is she busy out there? For the whole day!

Li Yao laughed and made space for them. He invited them to drink together. Xu Qingyu had a status, so he could not be so casual. Seeing Old Lu, his eyes lit up. "Oh, it's a decent man!"

So he grabbed a glass of wine and went to the side to act cool. "Sir, can I get to know you? I'm Xu Qingyu."

He reached out his arm.

But Old Lu looked at that hand and smiled. Then, he moved away with his glass in hand.

"???" Xu Qingyu was speechless.

I'm actually being looked down on?

Xu Qingyu felt sad. What is all this nonsense!

He sat there arrogantly.

I can't be bothered about you guys either!

But when Cao Rui came to him to invite him to drink in a dizzy manner, he could no longer keep his calm composure. Isn't this the son of the provincial tycoon? He's actually here???

Xu Qingyu immediately entered a sociable state and began to drink with him happily.

Mmh, this beer tastes really good.

Deep into the night, the people who drank much began to leave.

Old Lu and Qi Qi brought the wasted Boss Zhou back, and Zhao Shuisheng helped to clean up.

Cao Rui was wasted.

Xu Qingyu could only help carry him out…

Lin Xiaoxi put on her deerstalker hat and pulled up her collar. Then, she left. "Remember, Li Yao, you owe me one."

"…" Li Yao was speechless.

They finished drinking, and the crowd began to leave.

Li Yao was sitting at the entrance of the bar. The dim spotlight shone down, illuminating a small spot in the darkness. He took out his mobile phone and sent a message to his bestie who was far away in another world. "Hey bro, life's good at home. There's beer, there's food, and there are friends. If only you were home, we could drink together."

After some time, Lin Xiaowei replied. "Leave me some beer, I will definitely go back and drink."

Keep it in the cellar for one or two hundred years?

Sure.

He planted a sweet-scented osmanthus tree in front of the bar and buried a jar of fine wine under it. Keep it in the cellar for a few hundred years… Just the thought of it was nice enough.

He smiled, reeking of alcohol. "Sure. That's it."

Lin Xiaowei replied. "Yeah, that's it."

Earth, I'm definitely returning!

Li Shishi sat down next to Li Yao and shook off her bright red high-heels. She drank too much, and her eyes were blurry. When she exhaled, there was the aroma of wine.

At this moment, she got rid of her usual strong composure, revealing a rare little daughter's composure. She asked, "Who were you chatting with? Why did you put it away after I came?" She leaned close to Li Yao and breathed in Li Yao's neck. It was warm and ticklish. "You're dating someone already?"

Li Yao answered. "No."

Li Shishi simply put her head on Li Yao's shoulder. "Sometimes I'm quite envious of you, dead fish."

You have beer, you have food, and you have friends. Carefree, you don't lack any form of love, you don't… *cough* lack people when you wanna make love either, huh?

How nice.

She had experienced too much fraudulent behavior in the market. Today's drinking session seemed to have brought her back to a long time ago… Emmmmm … Shit.

She was also a smart achiever who focused on studying hard in school, and she had never been to a pub.

What a pity.

Li Yao's heart was peaceful, and his thoughts were like a pool of water under the moonlight. The wind blew through the shallow ripples. The mid-autumn night was very cold. He pushed his senior. "It's getting cold, go home early."

Who knew, he heard light snores coming from his senior, who was still leaning on his shoulder.

Li Yao smiled and shouted towards the inside of the bar. "Chen Xi? Sister is drunk, bring her to your room. She shall sleep with you tonight."

Drunk people could not look after themselves. It would be rather good if someone could bring her some water if she woke up in the middle of the night.

Boss Li was a gentle and detailed man.

And he looked good too.

When Chen Xi helped Li Shishi in, Zhao Shuisheng, who had cleaned up the place, waved and left. He wanted to go back to the school dormitory, so Li Yao sent Brother Shuisheng out.

For a moment, the bar became very silent.

Li Yao took out the quarterstaff from his ring and stroked it carefully. His spiritual power was lively and exceptionally active under such a harmonious state. His thoughts moved, and the mercury-like mental power poured out, spreading into the distance…

The distance felt like 80m.

He was ready to be promoted.

But Li Yao had always been a steady person. He wanted to be more prepared before getting ready for the promotion ritual.

…

The next day, Li Shishi, who was drunk, went downstairs a little haggardly. After breakfast with Li Yao, she left hurriedly. She was still the strong woman who walked with great style. The strong lady who was fierce and cold but also appearing in all kinds of style.

The different behavior that she revealed last night instantly seemed to be a dream that had disappeared.

She woke up.

So she forgot about it.

Chen Xi was cleaning up again. She learned to brew and mix drinks. Li Yao continued his usual daily activities.

Life was peaceful and harmonious.

But the business of the bar had really started to improve, and there were guests constantly coming in. No matter what their purpose was, they came to consume anyway. As a result, Chen Xi gradually became busy. Li Yao was in deep contemplation… Did the pub really become livelier thanks to Lin Xiaoxi's mouth?

Can her good luck be contagious?

Because of that, he even specially went to ask Old Lu. "Is Lin Xiaoxi some strange immortal?"

Old Lu thought carefully.

And answered that it was not so.

"…" Li Yao was speechless.

This is so freaking magical. Is Lin Xiaoxi really an ordinary person who just has superbly good luck?

He, Li Yao, did not believe it!

Half a month later, in the morning.

Li Yao widened his eyes from mediation. The distance of his spiritual power …

110m!

At this moment, his aura was stable, his mind was firm, and everything was in a good state.

Since it is so, then let's prepare to be promoted.
