Chapter 276 Winery Opening 2
As night falls, the stars in the Zerg world shine brightly, like diamonds scattered on the black sky, flashing a mysterious and attractive light. A new tavern located in the core area of the Zerg capital is bustling with people. This tavern, called "Star Wings", has quickly become popular for its unique style and delicious drinks since its opening, and has become a popular place for Zerg young people.
Lin Zhi stood sternly behind the bar, his eyes focused and determined, and he skillfully mixed various drinks. , by chance, he came to this star field dominated by the Zerg. At first, he was terrified, but soon he stood firm in this strange world with his wisdom and courage. Zhang Ying, Lin Zhi's best friend, also came through time and space, and was busy entertaining guests at the moment. The two of them sang in unison and managed the tavern in an orderly manner.
In another corner of the tavern, Zerg brothers Wang Jun and Wang Kai were drinking. Their appearance was very different from that of humans, but they could live in harmony with Lin Zhi and others. This was the charm of "Star Wings" - it broke racial boundaries and became a bridge for communication and understanding between different races. Wang Jun was a Zerg warrior, tall and mighty, while Wang Kai was a smart engineer who was good at repairing various machines. The two brothers met Lin Zhi and others because of their curiosity about the unknown world and their desire for adventure, and they became inseparable partners.
The four Zerg brothers and sisters, Li?, Li Ming, Li Hua, and Li Li, each have different abilities and specialties. They are frequent customers in the tavern and important allies of Lin Zhi and others in the Zerg world. Li? is good at cooking and can often bring mouth-watering food; Li Ming is an excellent communication expert, ensuring the smooth flow of information inside and outside the tavern; Li Hua is a doctor, providing timely treatment for every small accident in the tavern; and Li Li, beautiful and gentle, her singing often brings the atmosphere in the tavern to a climax.
Hua Yuan and Zhang Yuan, twin sisters, are the most popular dancers in the tavern. They are dressed in colorful dance costumes and dance to the rhythm of the music. Every move they make exudes endless charm, which makes every guest present fall in love with them. Their presence adds a bit of fantasy and romance to the tavern.
On this day, the tavern welcomed a special guest - a traveler from a distant galaxy, who brought news about unsolved mysteries in the depths of the universe and a precious energy gem as a gift to thank "Star Wings" for its warmth and help. This gem caused quite a stir in the tavern, and everyone gathered around to listen to the traveler's adventure story.
Lin Zhi stood in the middle of the crowd, holding the gem in his hand, with complex emotions surging in his heart. From the confusion when he first arrived in the Zerg world to now being the owner of the tavern, he has experienced so much along the way. Everything in front of him is not only the success of the tavern, but also a testimony to his deep friendship with other races.
As night falls, the atmosphere in the tavern becomes more and more lively. People of different races and backgrounds gather here, share their stories, and enjoy the rare peace and joy. Lin Zhi knows that such a scene is not common in the Zerg world, but he believes that as long as there is light in his heart, he can illuminate the way forward and let the seeds of peace and friendship take root and sprout in the universe.
In the dead of night, Lin Zhi and Zhang Ying stood at the door of the tavern, watching the last guest leave. They smiled at each other, their hearts filled with infinite longing for the future. "Star Wings" is not only a tavern, it is also a place where dreams take off, a bridge connecting different races and different worlds.
She was busy shuttling between the kitchen and the restaurant, her movements were agile and graceful, and the tray in her hand was filled with steaming dishes that exuded an alluring aroma. Zhang Ying was Lin Zhi's first friend in this world and his strongest supporter. The two of them jointly ran this tavern, which became a unique landscape in the town.
In a corner of the tavern, there sat two pairs of Zerg brothers, Wang Jun and Wang Kai, and four siblings, Li Li, Li Ming, Li Hua and Li Li. They sat around a large wooden table, laughing and talking one after another, adding a bit of vitality to the quiet night. Wang Jun and Wang Kai were orphans rescued by Lin Zhi during his expedition. They were full of gratitude and admiration for Lin Zhi, and the four brothers and sisters of the Li family avoided a disaster for their family by chance because of Lin Zhi's help, and since then they have become regular customers of the tavern.
"Brother Linzhi, are there any new dishes today?" Wang Jun asked excitedly, his eyes flashing with curiosity and anticipation.
Lin Zhi smiled and nodded, and took out a menu from behind the counter, on which the special dishes of the day were written in Zerg and human languages. "Today I specially asked Zhang Ying to prepare 'Wings of the Stars' and 'Fire of the Earth', I hope you will like them." Lin Zhi's words were full of pride, he knew that these two dishes not only had unique tastes, but were also his innovative works combining cooking techniques from two worlds.
"Wings of Stars?" Li Hua repeated curiously. She was a female who was passionate about food, and she immediately became excited when she heard the novel name of the dish.
"It's made from the unique flying insect wings of our Zerg, marinated with spices from the human world, and then baked using a special method. It has a crispy texture and is full of fragrance." Lin Zhi explained. His voice was gentle and magnetic, making people want to listen involuntarily.
As the dishes were served one by one, the atmosphere in the tavern reached a climax. Wang Jun and Wang Kai devoured the food with relish and praised the "Wings of Stars" highly; the four brothers and sisters of the Li family had a special liking for the "Fire of the Earth's Core", a hot dish made with special ingredients from the vicinity of underground volcanic magma and a secret sauce from the human world. It was spicy but not dry, and left a lasting aftertaste.
While everyone was enjoying the food, Lin Zhi and Zhang Ying were also sitting nearby, their faces filled with satisfied smiles. During this period of time, they had experienced countless challenges and difficulties, but it was the support and companionship of these friends that allowed them to find a sense of belonging in this strange world.
"Linzhi, you know what? I feel like we are like every dish in this tavern. Although we come from different worlds, after clever combination and cooking, we can create amazing delicacies." Zhang Ying suddenly said, her eyes full of tenderness and determination.
Hearing this, Lin Zhi felt a warm current in his heart. He held Zhang Ying's hand tightly and said affectionately: "Yes, each of us is unique, but when we unite together, we can create infinite possibilities. Just like this pub, it is not just a place to eat, but also our common home."
Tonight, the tavern was particularly lively because the four Zerg brothers Wang Jun and Wang Kai, as well as their sisters Li?, Li Ming, Li Hua, and Li Li, were sitting around a large table, sharing their recent adventure stories with Lin Zhi, Zhang Ying, Hua Yuan, Zhang Yuan, and others. Wang Jun and Wang Kai were warriors among the Zerg, and their heroic deeds were widely known in and outside the capital; while the four sisters each had different abilities and were an indispensable force in the team.
"I heard that a giant insect beast appeared in the northern wilderness recently, and many expedition teams returned empty-handed." Wang Jun's voice was deep and powerful, and his words attracted everyone's attention.
"Oh? What's so special about that insect beast?" Lin Zhi asked curiously, with a gleam of exploration in her eyes.
"It is said that it has a shell as hard as iron armor and can spray highly corrosive acid. Many weapons are ineffective against it." Wang Kai added, with a trace of solemnity on his face.
"It sounds like a big challenge." Zhang Ying rubbed his hands, obviously very interested in such an adventure.
At this moment, the door of the tavern was gently pushed open, and a gust of cold wind mixed with the noise outside rushed into the room. A thin, shabby-dressed man walked in, and his eyes swept around the tavern, finally stopping on Lin Zhi and the others.
"Everyone, I'm an explorer from the north, my name is Arnold." The man introduced himself. His voice was a little hoarse, but his eyes revealed an indomitable spirit.
"Arnold, what can I do for you?" Lin Zhi keenly noticed the unusualness of the man.
"I... I heard that you are a brave expedition team. I want to join you and fight against the giant insect beast together." As soon as Arnold finished speaking, there was an uproar in the tavern.
"We? Do you know how dangerous that is?" Zhang Ying frowned and looked at the other party with suspicion, not hiding his inner doubts. His voice was slightly raised, as if he wanted everyone around him to hear his dissatisfaction and worry, "With just a few of us, going to such a place full of unknowns and dangers is simply courting death!" At this point, he couldn't help but sneer, and there was a hint of disdain in his laughter, as if he thought this proposal was ridiculous.
"I know, but I can't just watch the northern village being destroyed by that insect beast." Arnold's tone was firm, his eyes full of determination.
After an intense and in-depth discussion, Lin Zhi sat at the table, her chin resting on her hands, staring into the distance, lost in thought. Arnold stood aside, nervously waiting for her final decision. The room was filled with a solemn atmosphere, as if time had frozen.
After a long time, Lin Zhi slowly raised her head, looked at Arnold with a firm gaze, and smiled: "Okay, Arnold, I have decided to accept you into our team."
When Arnold heard this, he was filled with indescribable joy and excitement. He stared at Lin Zhi with wide eyes and said with a trembling voice, "Really? Sister Lin Zhi, are you really willing to let me join you?"
Lin Zhi nodded, stood up, walked to Arnold, patted his shoulder gently, and said earnestly: "Yes, Arnold. Because I believe that every brave heart deserves respect; everyone who wants to change his or her destiny should have such an opportunity to try and fight. And from your eyes, I see the strong desire and courage in your heart. So, welcome to become one of us!"
Arnold held Linzhi's hand tightly and thanked her with tears in his eyes: "Thank you, Sister Linzhi! I will never let you down and will do my best to contribute my strength to our team!"
At this moment, the sun shines through the window onto the two men, illuminating their hopeful faces. This decision not only means a new turning point in Arnold's life, but also heralds the beginning of a new and challenging journey for the team...
As the night deepened, the noise in the tavern gradually faded away, and the guests left one after another, leaving only Lin Zhi and his group still discussing plans for tomorrow.
"Arnold, do you have any suggestions for our next move?" Lin Zhi looked at Arnold expectantly and asked softly. At this moment, her beautiful eyes were flashing with anxiety and eagerness, as if she was eager to hear some key clues or strategies from Arnold to deal with the upcoming challenges. Because what they were facing was not an ordinary enemy, but a mysterious and powerful insect beast, whose danger was far beyond their previous imagination. Therefore, Lin Zhi was eager to get more detailed information about this insect beast from the experienced Arnold, so as to formulate a more complete, safe and effective action plan.
"I suggest that we go to the northern wilderness to conduct some reconnaissance first, understand the habits and weaknesses of insects and beasts, and then formulate a specific action plan." Arnold's answer satisfied Linzhi, and she nodded in agreement.
As the melodious and deep closing bell of the tavern rang slowly, it seemed as if a parting song was played in the quiet night. Lin Zhi and his companions stood up and waved goodbye to the hospitable tavern owner. The dim light at the door of the tavern reflected their slightly tired but expectant faces.
The night was as dark as ink, so thick that it could not be dissolved, and the whole world was shrouded in a mysterious darkness. However, Lin Zhi and his companions did not hesitate in their steps. Carrying their bags and holding their weapons, they resolutely marched towards the north. The moonlight shone through the clouds, illuminating the winding road under their feet.
In this quiet night, only the sound of their footsteps and breathing intertwined together, breaking the tranquility around them. Each step seemed so heavy and powerful, as if carrying endless determination and courage. Their figures gradually lengthened against the moonlight, gradually moving farther and farther, and finally disappeared at the end of the darkness in the distance.
What they left behind is a series of deep and shallow, unwavering footprints, like traces of history, witnessing their courageous journey. These footprints are not only engraved on the land, but also deeply engraved in everyone's heart, becoming an indelible mark on their pursuit of dreams.
