"Here's your Johnny Silverhand, hopefully to your liking."
Old-fashioned tequila + chili + beer, this is Johnny Silverhand. Generally, people who order it are not for its taste. After all, most people may not be able to accept wine with chili added.
And Claire felt that Xu Qingshan wouldn’t like its taste either.
"Thanks."
The wine price had been paid, and Xu Qingshan politely took the wine glass handed over by Claire.
The whole glass of wine is dark red, and you can see the chili pepper floating in it. The smell is not very strange.
Gudong~
Take a sip and savor its taste.
The unique aroma of old-fashioned tequila, paired with the taste of beer, and the stimulation of taste buds with chili pepper.
How can I put it, the taste is not as bad as expected, at least Xu Qingshan thinks so, maybe he is outside the vast majority of people.
"how is the taste."
Looking at Xu Qingshan without frowning, Claire asked.
She thought that company employees like Xu Qingshan couldn't accept the taste of Johnny Silverhand, but she didn't expect that he could drink it without frowning, which was a bit beyond her expectation.
"The taste is okay, but most people may not be able to accept it."
This is Xu Qingshan’s evaluation of Johnny Silverhand. It’s the same as his opinion of Johnny Silverhand. Most people don’t like his character.
"Oh, then you are a different person."
Claire raised her eyebrows and looked at Xu Qingshan with interest.
She felt that she understood the guy in front of her less and less. From the first time she saw this guy to his current evaluation of Johnny Silverhand, everything was beyond her expectations.
In Night City, she has met all kinds of people, ordinary people, company employees, lone wolves, edge walkers,...
But the person in front of him was very unique. Just like his evaluation of Johnny Silverhand, he was incompatible with the 'afterlife', no... because it should be incompatible with Night City.
"You can say that for different people."
He has not been in this world for long, so of course he seems out of place.
Although I have the memory of living for more than twenty years and understand the world in great detail, it is just like watching a movie. No matter how many times I watch it, I can't get into it.
"Hahaha~ If someone else said that, I would definitely think he is a narcissist."
Seeing Xu Qingshan's serious reply, Claire couldn't help laughing. She really didn't expect him to say that. It was really interesting.
What kind of environment could raise such a guy? She was really becoming more and more curious about this guy.
'No, don't be curious, I can't accept shemales yet. '
Curiosity is the beginning of the fall, and it is also the poison of a married woman, and Claire is still a demon, so under various circumstances, he is actually a little scared.
This kind of fear has nothing to do with strength, it's just that.
Gudong~
Without answering Claire's words, Xu Qingshan took a sip of Johnny Silverhand in his hand.
The unique taste explodes in the mouth, stimulating all the way down the throat and into the stomach. Most people really can't enjoy this generation of Johnny Silverhand.
…………
A quarter of an hour later.
"You didn't come to the 'afterlife' just to have a drink of Johnny Silverhand, did you?"
Playing with the mixing glass in his hand, Carlisle looked at Xu Qingshan with strange eyes.
From the moment he entered the next life, apart from ordering a glass of Johnny Silverhand, he just sat at the bar. He didn't seem to be waiting for anyone, but instead watched the people coming and going in the nightclub like an outsider.
"no."
Xu Qingshan shook his head.
It was a complete coincidence that he came to the 'afterlife', not for a drink of 'Johnny Silverhand'.
If Jack were dead, he would actually want to order a Jack Welsh.
Vodka + ice + lime juice + ginger beer + a little love, he would have ordered it if the recipe wasn't a bit unspeakable.
But as for the taste, it should be even better than Johnny Silverhand, after all, the formula wine is there.
"Waiting for someone?"
Looking at Xu Qingshan, Claire said doubtfully.
He couldn't really be waiting for someone, it didn't look like it.
"You bartenders are all so chatty."
Looking at Claire, Xu Qingshan asked with a smile.
He is indeed 'waiting for someone' now, but he is not waiting for the person he has made an appointment with, but for the protagonist group. Whether he can wait depends on luck.
'Afterlife' serves as a distribution center for edge walkers, one of the largest information stations in Night City, and a favorite negotiation place for middlemen.
Cyberpunks would come here to discuss tasks with intermediaries. They would also come here to have a drink when they had nothing to do. By the way... they could also ask for information.
If you are lucky, you might be able to meet the protagonist group in advance.
"Be good at chatting, isn't this an essential skill for a bartender?"
As soon as the hand movement stopped, Claire asked with the same smile.
"Well, I didn't expect it to be true."
Not caring whether what she said was true or false, Xu Qingshan took it as true.
Since you want to talk, let's talk. Just think of it as passing the time. Fang Zheng is fine now and has almost finished shopping tonight. He will call Elena later or take a taxi back by himself.
"You haven't answered my question yet. You can't really be waiting for someone."
"It's not like waiting for someone."
"What does 'not counting waiting for someone' mean?"
Looking at Xu Qingshan with doubtful eyes, Claire's mind didn't turn around for a while.
"I know him, but he doesn't know me." After saying that, Xu Qingshan made an inappropriate metaphor. "Just like fans and idols, you can understand that."
"You're not waiting for 'Rogg', are you?"
Looking at Xu Qingshan with a strange look on his face, Claire asked tentatively.
The first person she thought of who could be called an idol in the next life was Rogge, and besides Rogge, she couldn't think of anyone who could be called an idol.
"no."
Rogge, he really wanted to meet, the most powerful middleman in Night City, who was more than one level better than Farah, but there was no need to rush, after all, he would not be able to escape here in the next life.
"Not Roger? Okay."
The two chatted endlessly, and those who didn't know thought they were friends.
…………
"Claire, have a 'Tequila + Chili + Beer Old Fashioned."
"OK, all right."
Looking at the woman sitting on the chair next to Xu Qingshan, Claire nodded and started adjusting.
"Deputy Mayor, my nightclub is not bad."
After the woman ordered the wine, she looked at Xu Qingshan and said with a smile.
"Well, it's pretty good."
Looking at the woman aside, Xu Qingshan nodded.
Rogge is worthy of being the boss of Afterlife and the most powerful middleman in Night City. She is truly an extraordinary woman.
He had only been in Night City for two days, and there were very few people who knew him. It was indeed a well-knitted information network.
He didn't wait for the protagonist group, but waited for the boss in the next life, which was quite unexpected.
"How does Johnny Silverhand taste."
Looking at the wine glass in Xu Qingshan's hand, Rogge asked with a half-smile.
"not bad."
