Chapter 1118: 1118
Chapter 1118: Farewell
After leaving the station, Zhang Heng made a trip to the gaming station and passed the golden scales he had cut off from the black python to the bartender for identification.
When he pushed open the door to the lounge, he happened to see the bartender working on a new drink at the bar.
Recently, the bartender had been getting lazier and lazier. When Zhang Heng saw her, she would either be reading manga or playing catch-up on her phone, or she would be in a high-intensity online conversation with an unknown netizen on a two-dimensional forum. She didn’t even want to do her job anymore. If someone ordered a drink, she would make it hastily or, if she was even more unreasonable, she would simply pass the order to the bartender downstairs. When the order was ready, she would ask someone to bring it up. The only thing missing was the word “fool” written on her face.
However, today, contrary to her usual behavior, she didn’t continue to fish for money. Instead, she finally returned to her long-lost devotion to her job and developed a new drink for the lounge.
The bartender added a small spoonful of sea salt into a glass of blue-green liquid to complete her improvisation. Then, she handed the drink to a player at the bar before turning around. Turning around, she wiped her hands with a towel and said, “It’s been less than 24 hours since you left last time. Why, are you already eager to start the next round of the game?”
“No, I just got an item that needs your appraisal,” Zhang Heng said as he took out the golden scale from his travel bag.
The bartender took the scale and sniffed it, “Hmm… it’s quite fresh. It seems that you just had an intimate date with the owner of this thing. You’re quite lucky. I happen to have nothing to do recently, so I can give you the results tomorrow.”

After saying that, she raised her head and found Zhang Heng staring at her.
“Why? Do I remind you of the poor girl you played and abandoned in the dungeon?” The bartender raised her eyebrows.
Zhang Heng also looked away and said lightly, “Well, I just didn’t expect you to be so efficient.”
“Don’t look at me like that. I have rent to pay, and I have a lot of pets.”
“Cats?”
“No, I like fish. I just ordered a 20-meter-long aquarium online, and I was going to raise two electric eels,” the bartender said as she brushed her hair by her ear.
Zhang Heng nodded. “Good luck then.” After he paid the appraisal fee, he left the lounge with his bag.
As soon as he left, the bartender sighed in relief. The energy in her body disappeared, and she returned to her previous half-dead state. At this time, another player came over to order a drink, but the bartender said to wait.., she then passed the list to the bartender at the bar below, while she took out a book called “Chess Soul” and continued to flip through it.
She found the page that she had seen not long ago and was about to continue reading, but she stopped in the next moment.
On the right page, where her fingers had just pressed, there was a faint red mark. That red mark was very light, and only the bartender could see it.
Then, the bartender seemed to have thought of something. She reached out and touched her hair, and found a few red grains of soil on it.
It was then that she knew that something bad had happened. She had been extremely cautious on the way to the island, and her body had not been stained with seawater or anything else. It was almost exactly the same as before she left, but in order to show that she had no ill intentions towards Jemengard, the bartender picked up two red pebbles and crushed them, allowing the snake embryo inside to come into the world ahead of time.

It was also at that time that she got the soil on her hands, and she had the habit of flipping her hair. The soil probably came into her hair at that time. If it was an ordinary person, then so be it. She probably would not have noticed these details.
However, the bartender was facing Zhang Heng. The latter’s observation and analysis skills were almost unrivaled among players, so the bartender did not take any chances. She knew that Zhang Heng must have noticed that she had been on that island before.
“Damn it.” The bartender rubbed her temples and sighed, “Why do I feel like a scumbag caught by his wife having an affair? I was only there to protect him, but in the end, I had to carefully hide it. Tsk, tsk, tsk. What a thankless job.”
As she was lamenting, the door to the lounge was pushed open again.
This time, it was a waitress who came in with a cocktail that the bartender had just slacked off. However, that player had already forgotten the wine he had ordered, because his eyes were only focused on the waitress.
Logically speaking, he had experienced quite a number of dungeons, and he had encountered many different types of girls. However, when he saw this girl in front of him, he still felt that she was incomparably stunning. Her appearance wasn’t perfect, but she carried an innocent and innocent temperament. It was very easy to arouse a man’s desire to protect her. At the same time, she was also a mixed-blood. Her eyes and hair had a bit of an exotic charm. The player who ordered the wine just wanted to hug her and love her.
However, before he could say anything, the bartender grabbed the cocktail from the waitress tray and threw it in front of him with a dark face.
“Here’s your wine!”
The player who ordered the wine was stunned. He didn’t know what he had done to offend the bartender. However, he was also a regular customer of this game, so he knew the boss here. Seeing the bartender’s unfriendly look, he didn’t stay any longer, obediently carrying his wine back to the booth.
After he left, the bartender looked at the waitress and frowned.
“Why are you here again? Did you not understand what I said last time? You have become like this. Are you tired of being a cherry blossom girl?”
The waitress smiled. “Don’t worry. I’m here to bring you good news.”
“No good news is as good as you disappearing from my sight,” the bartender said coldly.
However, she didn’t expect the waitress to nod. “It seems you already know what the good news is before I even open my mouth.”
This time, it was the bartender’s turn to be stunned. “You’re preparing to leave?”
“That’s right. You told me not to get close to your boss last time. I thought about it and felt that what you said was very reasonable, so I decided to follow the good advice. Not only do I want to get lost, but I also plan to get far away and directly get out of the country. At least for the time being, I won’t be an eyesore in front of you.”The waitress blinked, “I’ll use this new identity to say goodbye to you now, Little Snake.”
“Where are you going?”The bartender did not let down her guard.
“Greenland.” The waitress smiled sweetly. “I just got a job there. I should be able to earn a little money as a translator.”
