There was a slight drizzle in the night sky. The neon signs and old-fashioned lanterns on Shouhui Street dyed the falling rain into a dark red. The crowded passers-by were holding umbrellas or letting the rain rain. The rain was chaotic, "Elephant Bar" Various signboards such as "Hell Games", "Star Facelift", and "Goku Rakuru" are cluttered, and the buildings submerged in the darkness in the distance are also cluttered.
One of the signboards exudes brilliant blue and purple light, "Licai Club".
On the advertising screen under the sign, the faces of handsome young men are constantly changing.
V-necks, shiny jewelry, and leopard-print fur jackets. Some of the handsome guys dressed like this have a feminine temperament, while others have a masculine temperament.
Some were wearing alluring female clothes, and even their facial features seemed to have undergone plastic surgery, giving them the appearance of snake-like faces.
Licai, a famous Cowherd Club.
Gu He was standing at the door of the club looking at it, everyone was dumbfounded.
"Let's go, follow me."
Kumiko Ayane led the way, and people who came in and out of the club would respectfully call out "Mom" when they saw her before passing by.
"Miss Caiyin, can you tell me more about your plan for me?"
As he walked, Gu He looked at the various women's cowboys flashing on the advertising screen, as well as all kinds of coquettish killer hairstyles. He was worried about how he would be positioned...
"The cowherd should be handsome, strong, eloquent, knowledgeable, considerate, know how to please people, and know how to sell drinks. You must have all these aspects, but that's all."
Kumiko Ayane looked back at him, showing that mysterious look in her eyes again.
"That's just a requirement for an ordinary Cowherd, but you are the man who wants to become the Night King! Then you must be a special kind of Cowherd.
"I can only tell you for the time being that that kind of Cowherd is different from ordinary Cowherds. He has extraordinary special talents and abilities and specializes in receiving special guests."
Extraordinary special cowherd?
Gu He was a little confused by her words. Before, Brother Zhuang said that Miss Caiyin wanted special talents.
Don't be like this, Cowherd is special enough, how can he be special...
"But just because it's so rare, ordinary people can't get it. I think you have potential, Xiaohe, but you may not be able to get it."
Ayane Kumiko was not sure, "We still have to take another look, so I want to take you to see someone who can identify whether you have that kind of extraordinary talent. If not, you can only be an ordinary cowherd, that's okay." Not bad."
The night rain and neon lights fell, making her smile psychedelic and intoxicating.
"Oh." Gu He agreed, seemingly understanding.
Compared to being sent back to the Game Gang just down the street by Ms. Caiyin, this place is probably better.
And if you think about it, you will find that Cowherd is not just a handsome psychiatrist who is good at selling wine, performing arts and selling himself...
No matter how special it is, how special can it be?
But he was still a little confused, "Miss Caiyin, I want to ask, why is there a director's viewfinder hanging on your body?"
"This?" Ayane Kumiko lifted the viewfinder, pulled out its telescopic zoom lever, stretched it and then stretched it, and said cheerfully: "Fashion decoration is also a symbol. Cowherd can see other people's hearts, and also It can grow longer like this.”
"..." Gu He calmed down. It was because he didn't see through...
"Come here." Her graceful figure swayed and she continued walking.
He thought he was walking into a club, but he followed the narrow alleyway next to him, came to the back of the club building, and walked into a small shop door with a "Open Later" sign.
The old curtain on the store door and the malfunctioning and flashing neon sign beside the door all read "Fishpond Izakaya".
The living room of the izakaya is small, with a bar on one side, small dining tables on the other side, and a wooden sofa in the corner.
The surrounding fiery red curtains and lanterns swayed slowly, reflecting the colorful paintings on the walls.
There is a corridor over there, and at the end of the corridor is a closed metal door. Behind the door is obviously the Licai Club. From here, you can vaguely hear the lively voices, singing and dancing, and the sound of women laughing.
"Old Fan! I may have found the seedling we are looking for." Ayane Kumiko called as soon as she entered the door.
Gu He saw that apart from the two of them, there was only one other person in the store, mixing drinks in the open kitchen behind the bar.
Looking through the cowboy door on the side of the bar, you can clearly see that it is a middle-aged man.
He has a short, sparse hair, a short and fat body like a barrel, a big face and a thick neck, a pair of flip-flops, and a dark blue chef's uniform and apron. There is a line of text printed on the chef's uniform: The heart is broad and the body is fat.
"Fan Debao." Ayin Kumiko introduced solemnly, "The store manager of Fish Pond and the partner of Licai Club."
"Lao Fan, what do you think of Xiaohe?" she asked immediately after the introduction.
Fan Debao's face was expressionless, like a large plastic mannequin, and he looked at Gu He, "Is this a wild dog?"
"Well, I have a feeling. He should have extraordinary talents. He should also be calm, observant, and able to talk. He can eat the Cowherd's meal."
Although Kumiko Ayane is very optimistic, Fan Debao is still not happy, "The talent is not obvious, he is just an ordinary cowboy at most."
"Old Fan..." She lowered her voice, "After searching for so long, I can no longer blindly search. To find the seedlings, we still need to observe, cultivate and run them in. Things are urgent over there and we don't have much time left. Maybe Xiaohe
That’s the piece of the puzzle.”
"But if you just mess around with a wild dog like this, it's not only blind, it's also dangerous."
"It's not just casual. There are not many talented people among the wild dogs with no connections. So if you want to be casual, don't do it casually."
She put her hands together and bowed to Lao Fan, as if praying to God or Buddha, "I really think it can work. Can you please take the trouble to test it?"
"I'll give him a chance." Fan Debao took out an empty glass and said, "The money spent on this material will be credited to your account."
"Okay! When have I ever done a losing business? Even if he doesn't have that talent, there are ways to make the money back." Kumiko Ayane said with great anticipation, "Let's test it tonight!"
Gu He paid attention to his surroundings while listening to what they were saying.
The more I listen to it, the more I get a little scared. What is this special cowherd they are talking about? Does it have two cowherds? Or no cowherds?
At this time, Ayane Kumiko turned around and patted his shoulder, "Xiaohe, you can live in the fish pond for the time being. I will help you clear off your debts from the game gang, and then find a way to get you a legal one."
identity.
"However, things are a bit tight this year, and the legal status issue is not urgent, but if you are here, no one will come to arrest you.
"You don't have to worry about this, just follow Lao Fan and work hard! Okay, I'll go to the club first."
Having said that, the energetic Kumiko Ayane walked through the small passage and opened the metal door. A scene of splendor, feasting and feasting came through the door and reflected in front of Gu He's eyes.
Soon the door closed again, blocking out the noise of the club on the other side.
Inside the Fish Pond Izakaya, there were only two men left, a tall, thin man and a short, fat man.
Fan Debao didn't say anything. He just walked to a large wine cabinet in the kitchen with a sullen face, took out a bottle of corked old wine, poured a glass of wine into a glass, returned and handed it to Gu He, saying:
"Drink this glass of wine, drink it all in one go, don't waste a drop."
"Uh, what is this?"
Gu He saw that the wine glass was filled with viscous liquid, with bubbles churning inside, sometimes red and sometimes black. He didn't know how much mixture was added, and it exuded a strong and strange smell.
This thing doesn't look like something that can be used to drink...
"Learn with me. First, learn not to be verbose. This is a thing used to test whether you have extraordinary talents."
Vanderbilt suddenly lost his composure, "Even if you don't have it, it can still replenish your body. Drinking it will help you gain more muscle and hair, transforming you from a dog to a cow."
No, Gu He hesitantly glanced at Fan Debao's round, sparse hair... More hair?
"What kind of talent is it actually?" He held the wine glass with both hands, his throat was shaking, but he still couldn't move his mouth.
"Do you insist that I give you something to drink?" Fan Debao said in a deep voice.
Gu He had no idea. Although Fan Debao was wearing a broad-minded and fat body, the old guy obviously had a bad temper and he would be beaten if he said a few more words.
Well, he held his breath, raised his head and drank the glass of wine into his stomach.
His throat was burning, and his whole body quickly felt like it was on fire. He couldn't help but scratch his ears and cheeks.
Something's not right, something's not quite right...
Why did he feel that there seemed to be something strange about Vanderbilt's fat face like a plastic mold?
There is an old wooden box TV next to the bar. There are audio equipment such as karaoke and other interfaces under the TV box for customers to sing.
Fan Debao took the remote control and turned on the TV, and this year's "Streamer Supermodel Contest" was played.
"Boy, watch TV for me, don't miss a single glance."
"There seems to be something wrong with this wine..."
Gu He was already dizzy. Those bikini supermodels showed off their perfect body curves, making him even more uncomfortable...
"First gear, second gear, third gear, fourth gear, fifth gear, sixth gear, overdrive."
Vanderbilt said fiercely, "This is the seventh speed of neural activity."
"Both wine and beautiful women are designed to activate your nerves and test your nerve speed, which is a combination of your physical and mental talents. Wherever you reach the limit, that's where your extraordinary talent level will be.
"Ordinary people can only reach second gear at most; only if they can shift to third gear, they have passed the threshold; those who can reach overdrive gear are rare.
"Only those who have reached the fourth gear, and whose nerve speed is stronger than ordinary extraordinary talents, are qualified to become doll professionals. Male dolls are also the so-called extraordinary cowherds."
As Fan Debao spoke, he watched the extremely hot Gu He intently.
"Unleash your potential and see where you can go."
