Chapter 2827: Chapter 2822: Money Power

”You should thank Jenny.”

Revisiting an old place and seeing familiar faces can indeed be a pleasure in life.

Even more delightful than that might be running into two familiar faces.

At that moment, Fu Qian casually made a polite remark, while reminding Jenny behind the counter to get to work.

”...What do you want to drink?”

The latter was indeed taken aback, stunned for a moment before catching on, quietly confirming with the Female Priestesses.

”Just the usual.”

The latter was staring absentmindedly at the two rows of bills on the counter, mindlessly ordering drinks.

”Seems like you’re a regular here.”

Her words undeniably revealed many issues, and Fu Qian chatted nonchalantly for a moment.

”I’ve been coming here more often this month...”

Clearly unable to figure out what Fu Qian was up to, but after exchanging a few sentences, the Female Priest realized he was the former dangerous individual, responding with extra caution.

”Isn’t the competition still over a week away?”

Fu Qian directly referenced what the Succubus Girl said; it was clearly an atmosphere of two acquaintances chatting casually.

”Yes... but preparations need to start early, as White Tower Company announced the schedule way in advance.”

And indeed, the Female Priest was still doing her former side job, which made sense.

”I thought you already earned enough.”

Fu Qian couldn’t help but be curious about her choice for a moment.

After experiencing such a near-death encounter, one would expect to have some psychological shadows left, never wanting to return to the island again.

Yet she still insists on doing the former job?

”No choice, White Tower Company is offering more now.”

Luckily, the Female Priest seemed to gradually come to her senses, quickly managing a somewhat helpless smile and explained.

...

Indeed, the power of money is strong.

The Female Priest evidently remembered discussing her income situation before.

And back then, her remark was already ”they’re paying way too much”, making the current ”more” quite convincing.

Even Old Master Yibu’s seemingly extravagant behavior is actually entirely understandable.

Remember, one of the King of the White Tower’s rewards was the opportunity to get a free limb attachment.

Without the Limb Attachment Laboratory, to maintain the excitement and appeal of the competition, other aspects must be willing to spend money.

This Female Priest with decent work quality was indeed pulled back in?

”No wonder people have the money to come here for drinks.”

Making a clicking sound with his tongue, Fu Qian looked quite pleased for the old acquaintance about to achieve financial freedom, as his gaze swept over the counter.

”Well, my drinks aren’t that pricey... Here you go!”

These few gestures combined can easily mislead people, causing the bar owner lady to finally lose her patience.

Though her professionalism was still intact, protesting while not forgetting to hand over the second drink.

Hmm...

The Female Priest took a sip after grabbing it, her expression slightly odd.

”What’s wrong?”

Jenny, having high professional sensitivity, did not continue targeting Fu Qian, but instead looked over with some concern.

”Seems like there’s too much syrup...”

Considering the atmosphere, the Female Priest gave a careful negative review.

...

Indeed, the two of them seem quite familiar with each other, suggesting a rather special relationship.

Fu Qian wasn’t too concerned about protecting his rights, simply finding this scene amusing.

Jenny Ma, the Rebirth Club idol, washed up and started working as a bartender.

The Female Priest, always afraid and disgusted by the Rebirth Club, was lured by money to return to the island for work, thus forming a connection.

This is the impermanence of life, isn’t it?

The sudden treat of drinks might have startled her, but Fu Qian didn’t suspect any ill-intentions from the Female Priest.

The money has already been spent, inviting someone over for a casual chat while relaxing the atmosphere, why not?

As for why she came to drink during the day, the question itself might already be the answer — coming at night might still be too much for her.

The bars on the Archipelago are everywhere, yet she happened to arrive at a place that originally felt the worst — it’s hard to believe it’s pure coincidence.

But if this former feared place is now proving that the Archipelago no longer poses such threats?

The Female Priest is, after all, an ordinary person; some post-traumatic stress reactions are still hard to avoid.

No matter how much money is offered, stepping back onto the archipelago requires considerable courage.

And the earnestness of Lady Jeanne’s bartending can undoubtedly remind her that some shadows have already faded — even some temptations.

The Rebirth Club and cosmetic surgery have certain similarities.

What makes people fearful isn’t just because they might cut into your body, but because post-surgery you can truly enhance your beauty.

From Mortal to Transcendent, one of the reasons the Female Priest resists staying long on the archipelago is clearly her own concern about losing self-control.

So, in a sense, coming here for a drink can be considered a psychological construction, reminding oneself that the temptation is gone.

Yet even with this, she still chooses not to come here late at night, which can be seen as maintaining some boundaries?

Even specially creating this peculiar makeup may not be unlike wearing sunglasses — adding a bit of security.

...You came to ruin my moment, didn’t you?

Fu Qian analyzed the situation over here, yet Jenny looked rather unstable emotionally, glaring at the Female Priest.

At such a sensitive moment, being backstabbed, especially when it was agreed beforehand to be ”the usual”, using new flavors wouldn’t cut it.

”Then let’s have another cup.”

Luckily, the big shot seemed quite carefree, flicking his fingers and tossing over another bill.

”...That’s not right; how can I let you keep treating me.”

Unfortunately, facing such sugar-coated bullets, the Female Priest appeared highly sensitive, instantly shaking her head while rummaging for her purse.

”Alright then, you treat, I’ll have another cup too.”

Normally, in such situations, people would politely go back and forth for a few rounds, but Professor Fu was particularly easygoing today.

Facing the Female Priest’s actions, he nodded and signaled Jenny to fix another drink.

Even to fit her earlier ”drink it all before mixing” remark, he finished his cup in one gulp.

...

”I’ll give you a half-price for the second cup.”

After all, she’s a businesswoman; Jenny regained her senses much faster than the Female Priest.

Not only did her doubtful expressions quickly retract, but she also started counting money from the Female Priest’s hands while introducing the discount offer.

Of course, Fu Qian didn’t think she truly lacked money; the move seemed more like giving up.

Completely clueless about this bunch’s intentions, then forget it, let’s just focus on selling drinks, playing the role.

In summary, it also counts as normal human nature—

”Then what about the third cup?”

However, before the Female Priest could count how much money was taken, a new business appeared, a strange voice chiming in from behind.
