Chapter 781 The First Guest_2
Soon, a woman dressed in an elegant evening gown, embodying the grace and charm of a princess, Mina Wei'er, arrived at the entrance.
Chu Mo also rose from behind the bar to welcome her.
To prevent ordinary people from entering, the bar's door had been specially modified. You could only come in by lifting the massive stone at the entrance, otherwise, the door would remain firmly shut.
Alternatively, Chu Mo could manually unlock it using his fingerprint.
When Chu Mo stepped forward to open the door for Princess Mina, the stunning woman immediately threw herself into a passionate embrace with him.
The two were already deeply familiar with each other, so there was no need for excessive formalities.
As a Westerner, Mina's personality was inherently bold and uninhibited. Chu Mo was the one she had chosen, and they hadn't seen each other in over a year, making her longing unmistakable.
"Chu, do you know how much I've wanted to visit Hua Country to find you? But there were so many things keeping me tied up over there."
With her flowing golden hair, Mina clung tightly to Chu Mo's arm, her enthusiasm palpable.
"So, tell me, has Lady Luck visited you today? Did you get anything from the raffle draw?"
It was already 10:30 pm; the raffle had started at 10 pm and was now concluded.
Mina sighed softly and shook her head.
"It seems Lady Luck wasn't kind to me today. The grand prize was taken by the Crown Prince of Dubai."
Upon hearing this, Chu Mo's lips curved slightly into a faint smile.
The Dubai Prince Ben Sied was the first royal figure Chu Mo had ever known. Chu Mo's initial agreement to invest in Dubai was due to the prince's introduction. Suffice it to say, he and Ben Sied shared a solid connection.
Furthermore, Chu Mo's largest overseas investments were also in Dubai; just the assets controlled by Qiu Shui exceeded an astounding 700 billion.
Knowing Ben Sied won the grand prize brought genuine happiness to Chu Mo.
The two moved to the bar counter.
Standing before the princess, Chu Mo hesitated briefly. This time, instead of pulling out regular fine wine, he retrieved a bottle of Spiritual Power Wine he had exchanged for credits.
Pouring a glass for Princess Mina, he smiled and said, "Give it a try. This is a treasure money can't buy."
Spiritual Power Wine was unlike ordinary beverages. This mystical drink not only strengthened the body and sharpened the mind but also displayed dazzling colors. The wine resembled floating vapor in the glass, with bubbles rising sporadically—a visible effect of its potent spiritual energy, giving it an otherworldly appearance reminiscent of the cosmic stars.
As Mina picked up the wine glass, her eyes reflected a trace of amazement. Though she had tasted countless exquisite wines, this enigmatic liquid was utterly unfamiliar to her. Her blue eyes shimmered with curiosity as she gently lifted the glass, savoring the drink slowly.
Upon entering her mouth, the wine transformed into vapor, spreading throughout her oral cavity as if she had swallowed something alive. When she swallowed, the spiritual power coursed through her body, subtly transforming her physique, clearing minor persistent ailments, and enhancing her physical constitution.
With just one sip, Mina felt a comforting warmth enveloping her whole body, bringing an unparalleled sense of relaxation.
It was like sipping chilled wine on a sweltering summer day, leaving her refreshed and rejuvenated.
At this moment, Mina took a deep breath and finished the entire glass, allowing the vast amount of spiritual energy to flow within her. Most of the energies dispersed, but some circled within her body before eventually being absorbed.
Spiritual Power Wine couldn't compare to Spiritual Power Fruits—the difference between the two was like heaven and earth.
A single Spiritual Power Fruit could more than double a normal person's physical fitness and was worth over a thousand points.
Meanwhile, the value of a sip of Spiritual Power Wine was merely one point, so its effects were temporary and couldn't cause any dramatic improvements to a person's physique.
Nevertheless, even this much astonished Princess Mina. Her eyes sparkled, overflowing with vitality.
After a while, as the spiritual energy dissipated, Mina, still somewhat in a dream-like state, finally spoke softly:
"This is true nectar of the gods, Chu. You shouldn't have let me taste such a divine creation. I fear I'll frequently fly across the world just to beg you for more."
Watching Princess Mina's dazed expression, Chu Mo's lips curled into a smile. He replied lightly, "You're welcome anytime!"
At that moment, Chu Mo's phone vibrated unexpectedly. When he checked, he saw a message from Yang Xuan.
"A guest has arrived."
Reading the text, Chu Mo immediately schooled his expression and tidied up his collar. He returned to his place behind the bar, eyes fixed expectantly on the entrance.
Soon enough, a slender figure appeared at the door. The woman paused briefly, her eyes betraying a sliver of surprise at the massive black stone before the entrance. But in mere moments, she reached out, effortlessly lifting the stone weighing thousands of pounds. As soon as she set it down, the bar's door automatically opened.
A sensual beauty with long hair and a radiant smile stepped inside.
Seeing the newcomer, Chu Mo straightened up, his demeanor instantly serious. He said earnestly, "Welcome."
Princess Mina, standing beside him, widened her eyes in shock.
It was unheard of for Chu Mo, the ominous owner of the Longevity Club, to personally greet someone. Who could this alluring woman possibly be?
Mina knew that even among the club's top echelons, home to hundreds of tycoons worth billions, none received such personal treatment from Chu Mo.
As Mina's curiosity reached its peak, the woman in the crimson gown gracefully walked into the bar.
She didn't head to the counter immediately. Instead, her gaze roved around the place with nostalgia. After confirming the bar remained unchanged from years prior, she sighed deeply before turning toward the counter.
Her eyes locked onto Chu Mo, who remained calm and composed, treating this first true guest of the bar with utmost care.
He pulled out a wine glass and poured her a sip of Spiritual Power Wine, placing it lightly in front of her. Noticing her curious look, Chu Mo smiled and said, "This one's on me."
A single sip of Spiritual Power Wine might only cost one point and be relatively inexpensive, but few system users could afford to drink it freely.
The woman studied the celestial-like liquid in front of her and didn't refuse. She raised the glass and drank leisurely. After setting the glass down, she spoke calmly:
"How about now? Do you have any interest in joining our Divine Squad? We've assessed your capabilities, and if you agree to team up with us, I've information that could help us complete an S-level mission. I'll split a third of the earnings with you.
Don't think it's a small amount—the mission involves more than a dozen participants, including four with Grade-A abilities or higher. Even with all these talents, we only split two-thirds of the reward. The mission's total value is 100,000 points, so a third still means 30,000 points for you. Take it under consideration."
Standing before him was Phyllis.
Back at the bar in Xizhou City, she had witnessed his defensive barrier and extended an invitation to join her team, an offer Chu Mo had declined.
Now, her visit here clearly demonstrated she wasn't giving up easily, as well as the sheer difficulty of the S-level mission they aimed to undertake.
Though the exact horrors of an S-level mission were still unknown to Chu Mo, comparing it to the challenges of the "Snowfall Across Miles" task suggested a magnitude far beyond the norm. Given that the Celestial Organization's strongest lineup was approaching it cautiously, the mission's peril spoke for itself.
Chu Mo didn't want to rush into danger, so he shook his head again, refusing.
Seeing the woman in the crimson dress sigh softly and make to leave, Chu Mo suddenly spoke up:
"Wait!"
