Chapter 57: Pickup Artist (2)

Night has come to Azharus. A landscape completely different from real life was spread out in the night sky like a dark shadow.

One could immediately see the ful Milky Way, flowing like a jellyfish swimming leisurely in the deep sea in the night sky of Circuit, much like a kaleidoscope.

The true sight to behold in the free city of Azharus was fully revealed at night.

This place offered a mixture of various delicacies, performances, and cultures of various tribes enjoying them, which allowed a tourist to enjoy the city just by sitting still.

Taverns, where you could enjoy as many alcoholic beverages and different intoxications as the number of races in Azharus, will be an indispensable specialty of Azharus.

And the largest and most luxurious tavern among them was the Troll Tongue, which had 10 floors in its building and over 100 guest rooms.

And in front of the gigantic tavern, there stood a line of cars with powerful engine noises.

A long four-wheeled vehicle with its entire body painted in fascinating s like a tiger-eye gem stood in front, and there were more cars of various s following after its lead.

And such a sight naturally collected everyones attention. The tiger-eye ed car that took the lead was,

[Puavolti AA]

Class: Vehicle

Rank: Unique

Output: 770Mana (Binding-styled Triple Core Gravity Stone)

Maximum speed: 331Km/h (A horace riding a storm)

Degree of Turn: 31 (Heavy Baron's Steel Knight's Leap)

History: Overwhelming. That is the only word that can truly describe the best premium Puavolti AA. Unlike the gentle Horace, Puavolti is a roaring beast that shows off its power without any hesitation. And of course, it is purely perfect, it doesnt need a stableman like a Horace. Handcrafted from start to finish by our 'golden-nailed dwarf Volti Industries' elite technicians, the AA Series swears to be prettier and more perfect than this cars owner. However, you cannot get a refund if you are offended by these words.

It was a unique-class vehicle with tremendous technological prowess. The car parked in front of this gigantic tavern, with the intimidation of a real supercar, continued to growl and monopolize the attention of those around them.

While some players were busy taking pictures of the vehicle with their crystal balls, the thick door of Puavolti opened.

The movement of the door opened at an oblique angle, as subtle and nimble as the shiny chitinous insect wings, made many people shout in awe.

A man came out with his legs softly stretched out from the car.

The handsome man, with his gray hair neatly styled in an all-back, and a pair of leather jackets with an impressive dull purple , got off the Puavolti and leisurely entered the Troll Tongue with a movement showing off his wealth.

He was very satisfied with this series of processes. The fact that his car was worth 25,000 gold, that he has monopolized the attention of many people, and the strange pleasure that arises when he savored the envious gaze of those around him.

I wish you all the best today. Director!

Then, a man quickly got out of the car just behind Puavolti, sucking up to the handsome man.

Dont be actin silly. Its going to be a long night.

The man with gray hair gave him a little scolding with a calm voice. Ten more people showed up to follow after him in an instant.

When they reached the hall through the large hallway, a beastkin with big ears greeted them with his head bowed as hard as he could.

I will take you to the Seat of jewels on the 10th floor.

The man ignored the greeting beastkin and walked into the mirror with a shimmering shadow in front of him.

A moment later, he crossed his legs as he took a seat all too naturally in the middle of his dazzling and spacious room.

The table in front of him was filled with bottles of all shapes and sizes which contained liquors with various dazzling s of lights. 

Dozens of men following after him began to fill the seats one after another.

All those who were seated fixed their eyes on the gray-haired man who sat at the head of the table.

This seemed more like an action based on an implicitly enforced rule rather than a voluntary action.

Everyone in the room had one thing in common. It was the fact that all of them had dyed under their eyes blue.

Who was here for the night?

A player sitting on the left carefully opened his mouth to the person sitting next to him.

"I saw it before coming in, three half-elves and six Lympus?"

Nice. You see, Ive been really into Lympus these days!

The man who showed a big smile as if satisfied with the answer he heard shook his shoulders. A voice mixed with laughter came from the man that answered.

You like those mutts thats got dog ears on their heads, really? Youre pretty sick, man! What, you do it with dogs outside here too?

You dumbass. You just dont get it, do ya? When you see their dog ears twitch every time you do it withem, its over. That shit drives you nuts, yknow?

As the gray-haired man finally changed his posture, who had been sitting silently so that their conversation could flow naturally, everyone in the room began to fix their posture and their clothings.

People from JN will be visiting us very soon. How are the preparations going?

Their skins began to turn pale at the calm but overbearing voice that contained intense emotions.

Yes, Director Choi. Everything is going perfectly.

You better live up to what you just said with actions. Let me remind you that Im looking forward to it.

Y-yes sir!

As soon as the conversation was over, the man who was addressed as Director Choi picked up one of the many bottles lying on the table with his smooth, pretty hands.

***

As he picked up a bottle filled with silvery powder that was scattered in a black liquid, not visible from the outside, a notification window appeared in Director Choi's vision.

[Black Milky Way]

Class: Liquor

Rank: Unique

History: The deep-sea shell 'Paras', which contains huge stinkstone, and the stones from Paras that lived over 20 years is called a jewel of wonder and is said to intoxicate its owner just by holding it in the hand. Black Milky Way is a special product of 'Niconas', a company of elves, and only 200 bottles are produced per year. The Black Milky Way is made by putting the Black Imperial Hop in a heated magic tube and grinding the whole stinkstone into a base distilled with gravitational stone. After I drank this, I had only one thought, that I should give this drink a nickname. And that's how it got the nickname, 'The Soul of the Black Devil'.

- Rare Alcohol Sommelier Frahen -

The bottle looked very valuable at first glance. It was gilded from the stopper, and was geometrically shaped and looked like it would lose its center at any moment, but it stood unwaveringly on the floor.

Have a drink.

Director Choi opened the golden stopper without hesitation and handed it out to the man who had previously said he was into Lympus.

The man responded with his back hunched as he quickly picked up a glass shot and very carefully brought it close to the lip of the bottle.

Planning Team Manager Kang Jun. This Director believes in you, do you understand that?

As the Director said with his overwhelming voice once more, the glass in the hand of the man called Kang Jun trembled slightly.

The liquor that filled the cup was shining like a liquid jewel, shining brighter than anything else in the room.

Yes, Director Choi. You can count on me!

As if trying to get rid of the tremors he had, Kang Jun drank the alcohol he had received from Director Choi in one shot, crumbling his face as best as he could and tilting his head back.

Director Choi smiled coldly at the sight, and everyone in the room looked at each other as they started laughing together.

No one laughed louder than Director Choi.

Did you bring the thing?

Director Choi then turned his head to the other side and spoke to the man sitting right in front of him. A man with his long hair neatly tied back and glasses answered him.

Yes, sir. I just got it today so its brand new. Inventory."

The long-haired man pulled out a dull brown leather bag from the air and carefully placed it on the table.

"Box of Penko, show the truth hidden within."

As soon as the man finished his words, the bag trembled on its own as if it were alive, and then the bag opened wide.

And inside of the bag, there were dozens of black marbles neatly packed. Director Choi smacked his lips at the sight as he seemed satisfied.

I wish everyone was like you, Jason.

At Director Choi's compliment, the man with glasses called Jason smiled cautiously.

A moment later, Director Choi without hesitation picked up a black marble from the box Jason had placed on the table.

Is this one more improved?

Yes, Director. Its different from the lousy stuff like roofies you used outside. Its at least 30 times stronger. It is different from the products produced on the previous line...

Excellent. This is why I cant stop playing Circuit.

Director Choi, with a satisfied expression on his face, put his marble on his neck and began to roll it around with his palm.

The veins in his neck turned black after a while as he held the marble to his neck, and as if a drop of paint had been dropped into clean water, and the range began to spread.

A smile began to spread across his face after even the whites of his pupils turned black.

How is it?

Jason opened his mouth as he watched the Director.

Its the best.

Said Director Choi, as he let out a rough breath with his drools on the corner of his mouth. The black marble in Director Choi's hand was noticeably reduced in size.

Even an elephant will get knocked out if it absorbed all of that in one go, right?

The man sitting behind Jason exclaimed.

If the Director is like that in just one inhale, I think that shit really hits the spot this time.

Only reason the Director was able to withstand it was because of his stats. If you give this to anyone on the street, they will get knocked out in one go.

A voice mixed with excitement and surprise came from here and there over the drug that the Director Choi had inhaled. Ironically, the place that was completely silent because of Director Choi had become livelier thanks to Director Choi.

Hey, you.

Suddenly, Director Choi pointed a finger at one of the guys.

All those present here had to create their avatars looking the same as they do in real life under the order of Director Choi. 

So, it was immediately clear that the person that Director Choi pointed out was much older than him.

Nevertheless, the person who had been fingered put his head on the table and bowed his head.

Yes, Director.

It was the person who had just exchanged obscene conversation with the person called Manager Kang.

So whos all ready, you said?

Ah yes! There are 3 half-elves and 6 Lympus. Im not quite certain about the number of Lympus but I am sure of half-elves.

He let out his words quickly as if he was rapping.

Three half-elves? There are few today.

Then, at the change of emotion of Director Choi, who suddenly lowered his upper body and showed a stiff face, everyone was precariously hardened like water just before freezing in a cup.

They came to realize in intuition that any unnecessary movement to irritate the Director any further would lead to a very harmful outcome.

No need to be so disappointed, sir.

But in that utter silence, Jason opened his mouth with a soft smile. Many people watched Jason holding their breath at his boldness.

Even though Director Choi had expressed his liking of Jason, he was now giving him a death stare.

I saw it in the hall too. One of them had beautiful pale pink hair. Judging from that, it must be a half-elf from 'Valum'. The other two were twins. The one who looked like the older sister had different eye s.

After hearing Jason's fluent speech, Director Choi smiled with a gleaming glare.

Half-elves from Valum are pretty great, yeah.

Yes

Yeah, the ones from Valum are the best.

I saw one last time, and her skin was white than snow!

Everyone was busy agreeing to Director Chois words.

Then I will settle with those for todays things.

Director Choi finished his speech briefly and sat down with his legs crossed again. Now it was time for everyone who was sitting in their seats to get up and walk out of the room.

Bringem in good condition. If I see a single scratch onem, you know what happens.

Ordered the Director coldly, as he took the bottle of alcohol which he gave a shot to Kang Jun to his mouth.

After a moment, he was the only one left alone in the room.

Then he let out a loud roaring laughter of delight, as if he couldn't stand it any longer.
