"Miss Ruoxin is the best!"
At this moment, Jiang Kehan wanted to go back. She had seen all kinds of situations, but she had never seen anything like this before.
Chapter 149 Working for half a month, doing research for half an hour
The constant laughter around her shattered Jiang Kehan's impression of the witch's reserve, making her feel that everyone was going too far.
But the infectiousness of this atmosphere is astonishing. They don't care about each other's status or whether they will meet again in the future—there is only one thing here: to laugh freely and vent their emotions.
She gave a slightly helpless smile and couldn't help but look at Ruoxin on the bar counter in mid-air. To be honest, she was genuinely curious about how the quiet and gentle Ruoxin would behave.
Ruoxin, on the other hand, seemed very experienced. With a teasing smile, she looked at the witches below who were jeering with a hint of disdain.
"How about we put all the wine you buy today in my name?"
As if they had been choked, some of the witches who had been blindly stirring up trouble exchanged glances and shrank back.
In the tavern, the staff and her supporters were very close—close enough for a witch's social interactions to allow them to speak freely.
Therefore, the support that was meant for the other person is given to someone else, which inevitably leads to sarcastic remarks between friends.
They tacitly covered the mouths of the witches who were originally supporting Ruoxin, who wanted to continue jeering. In the midst of their playful banter, some drinks were spilled under the lights, making the scene appear somewhat hazy.
"I've learned something!" Jiang Kehan quickly memorized the words and decided that she would say the same thing when she had fans!
Although she was still a newcomer, that didn't stop Jiang Kehan from daydreaming. She chuckled and squeezed through the crowd.
Suddenly, a cold hand grabbed the hem of her clothes.
Jiang Kehan turned around in surprise, only to see a familiar face looking at her with a slight smile.
The other person had beautiful blue hair, and their eyes sparkled with intelligence, an indelible curiosity, and an instinctive longing.
She magically curled her tail together, leaving a shallow dampness where it touched the ground, moving as if surfing on land.
It was Bai Bingbing. Jiang Kehan quickly recalled the other person, after all, the other person's characteristics were too obvious.
Bai Bingbing squinted and scanned Jiang Kehan, noticing the wine barrel the other was carrying and the "Newbie Mercy Special Offer" tag on it, her expression somewhat peculiar.
"Kehan, have you joined the Witch's Tavern?"
She spoke hesitantly, somewhat puzzled.
Bai Bingbing remembered that the last time she asked her out, the other woman ordered milk!
Order milk at the Witch's Tavern!
It's important to understand that a witch's wine essentially works by interfering with magic to induce a state of "drunkenness," so there is no witch who cannot drink.
Bai Bingbing thought the other person didn't like drinking, but now that they've become an employee of the Witch's Tavern, she couldn't help but pout.
Am I not good enough for her? That thought was reflected in her eyes.
Haha, Jiang Kehan was a little embarrassed. She didn't expect to run into an acquaintance on the first day of her trial operation. Moreover, it was the other person who brought her to the bar last time.
She said it somewhat awkwardly.
"Um, would you like to buy some alcohol?"
Uh, what are you saying, Jiang Kehan... As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Kehan regretted it. The heat that spread from the tip of her tongue climbed up her cheeks along with her words. Under the light, she no longer had her original innocence and looked like a cute little girl.
Glug glug, Bai Bingbing couldn't bear to look away from Jiang Kehan's adorable appearance, and suddenly felt that it wasn't a big deal for the other person to drink milk.
It's just drinking milk at a pub, right? It's nothing. They wanted me to wash my hair upside down, which I didn't think was a problem.
Blinded by her good looks, Bai Bingbing nodded without hesitation and spoke.
"Of course, I'll buy a little of whatever wine you have here and put it in your name!"
Looking at Bai Bingbing's appearance, Jiang Kehan suddenly felt no longer shy, only a deep sigh in her heart.
Sigh, mermaid witch, sigh, loli-con.
Of course, the wine still had to be sold. Jiang Kehan made herself look even sweeter, thinking with some ill intent.
I'm going to rip out all your gold coins! And also, I'm not short!!!
"Okay." Jiang Kehan put the wine on the table, poured it, and looked at Bai Bingbing with some curiosity as she asked.
"What brings you to the tavern? I remember the Whirlpool Society has been quite busy lately."
Jiang Kehan's information channels are no longer entirely reliant on terminals as before. Qingran sometimes chats with her, talking about who is buying her medicine.
Occasionally, Jiang Kehan would be invited out by other witches on weekends, and you could hear quite a bit about that.
For example, Ms. Wu Yuhan has asked her out twice.
Therefore, a society like the Whirlpool Society, which has a great witch, receives more attention and its news spreads more widely.
Jiang Kehan remembered that the Vortex Society seemed to have recently acquired a brand new shattered space and was currently busy exploring it.
"Don't even mention it. Do you know how rushed things have been lately? My ten-day vacation is now only enough for half an night."
Bai Bingbing's face fell. As a mermaid witch with a strong sense of curiosity, she hated going to work every day.
This is pure torture!
So no matter how much she loses, she has to take leave to rest, otherwise she really will become depressed.
Fortunately, she met Jiang Kehan, and Bai Bingbing felt that the leave she took was much more worthwhile.
Thinking of this, Bai Bingbing looked at Jiang Kehan with some ill intent and tentatively spoke.
"I remember Kehan, your alchemy skills are quite good, aren't they?"
Jiang Kehan nodded hesitantly, opened the bottle in her hand, and poured some for Bai Bingbing.
"Um, is there something wrong?" For some reason, she had a bad feeling.
Bai Bingbing showed her teeth and patted Jiang Kehan on the shoulder as she spoke.
"We're short-staffed lately, especially witches skilled in alchemy. Would you be interested in taking on a commission to help us?"
"Price guaranteed to satisfy you!"
Bai Bingbing had her own little scheme. If Jiang Kehan also came to work, then at least she could chat with her. Beauty is pleasing to the eye!
Jiang Kehan scratched her head, somewhat embarrassed, and politely declined.
"I have to prepare for the school team selection soon, but I'll still have time to go after the selection is over."
Bai Bingbing looked at Jiang Kehan with some surprise. She originally thought Jiang Kehan was a pure scientific research witch, but she didn't expect her to be a dueling witch.
After all, the ones who love taking on commissions the most are the research witches who are almost bankrupt. They really don't value money. They only try to earn money when they can't even afford clothes.
Moreover, this state of being broke has become the norm.
Half a month of working, half an hour of research—ah, this is the epitome of a research-obsessed woman.
"It's alright. Exploring shattered spaces still takes a lot of time. This time, our Great Witch participated in a cosmic explosion operation and brought back a large shattered space."
Jiang Kehan had read - (Nine) Sixth Master left Seventh, looking at the other party with some doubt, and asked.
"Operation Space Demolition?"
"Ah, you didn't know that, did you?" Bai Bingbing picked up the wine that Jiang Kehan had poured for her, took a small sip, and then her eyes lit up!
Jiang Kehan poured her a drink called Sea Crystal, which was refreshing and a type of drink that mermaid witches generally liked. It was obvious that Jiang Kehan did this on purpose.
"In the universe outside of Gensokyo, every now and then there are a few clueless people who want to declare war on us, and then you know what happens."
Bai Bingbing's expression was a bit strange. She really couldn't imagine what kind of courage the other party had to curse at the witch. Did they really think the witch had no temper?
“We usually ignore these verbal declarations of war unless the other side’s main race is as hopeless as the insects you’ve cleaned up.”
Then the trial process will begin. Once passed, many powerful witches, with their respective forces, will devour their opponent like raging sharks circling a falling whale.
Jiang Kehan's lips twitched. The essence of the shattered space is the imaginary universe that swallows up other universes and spits out things that are not suitable for it.
It looks like the number of commissions will increase recently, and the rewards will increase accordingly.
Hmm, I can tell Bo Yuxue. Maybe there will be some unexpected gains. Jiang Kehan kept this message in mind.
Chapter 150 Dream Team Roster
"But since Kehan is going to participate in the school team selection, could you reserve a viewing box for us, under the name of the Whirlpool Society?"
Bai Bingbing stretched and spoke in a leisurely tone.
"After absorbing such a large fragmented space, the society's resources are overflowing, and it's time to recruit some new people."
After saying that, she looked at Jiang Kehan with a hint of anticipation and extended an invitation.
"Is Kehan interested in joining us? The Vortex Society offers top-tier benefits, and if it's you, you'll get even more preferential treatment. There are quite a few witches who can do alchemy."
After witnessing the Great Witch's power, Jiang Kehan understood just how prestigious a society with the Great Witch was, but she still resolutely shook her head and refused.
"I'm sorry, I already have my own association, but I can still apply for a private room for you."
Bai Bingbing looked slightly disappointed and shrugged, but indicated that she understood.
"I see. It seems you care a lot about your partner." She chuckled and offered her her blessings.
"However, I still look forward to Kehan performing exceptionally well in the school team selection. I can then introduce you to some suitable clubs."
Jiang Kehan smiled shyly, but didn't say anything.
She and Wu Yuhan had agreed that she would only reveal her joining the Witch Organization's reserve team after the school team had participated in the witch selection competition, not now.
After filling all the wine into small bottles, Jiang Kehan picked up the wine barrel again, intending to go and solicit some business.
After all, her main purpose was to demonstrate her presence, not to make a quick buck.
"That's 120 Witch Gold in total. I look forward to your next patronage, but I have to go back to selling alcohol now. Let's talk again next time."
By the way, we can discuss the details of the entrusted matter on the terminal.
Jiang Kehan waved to Bai Bingbing, who nodded, as if meeting her was an unexpected surprise, as Bai Bingbing had already planned how to spend her short vacation.
Witches will gladly accept any unexpected joy, but they will not try to hold on to things excessively, especially with other witches.
Perhaps this is the special confidence of the immortal race, Jiang Kehan thought. She was getting used to the seemingly indifferent attitude among the witches, which was actually just an illusion caused by the difference between her original concept and reality.
The witches in the tavern were quite friendly and easygoing. When they saw Jiang Kehan carrying a barrel of wine with the "Newbie Mercy Special Offer," they all teased the little girl with slight smiles.
Many people bought some wine from Jiang Kehan. Although it wasn't much, it was a way of expressing that they knew Jiang Kehan.
Jiang Kehan wiped the sweat from her forehead. It wasn't that she was hot, but rather that the enthusiasm of these witches was a bit overwhelming for her.
