Chapter 1465: Chapter 1: The Beginning of a Legendary Merchant (Part 2)

For others, climbing Desire Tower is meant to bring happiness.

For William Hawker, climbing Desire Tower is meant for critiquing.

William Hawker rambled on about many of his own affairs.

After all, he considered that he might not see them again next time. He talked about many things.

For instance, offering advice from a merchant’s perspective to the boss.

"In the future, Jicheng will have many monsters. If the monsters are transformed from humans, it might be worth considering opening a tavern specifically for entertaining monsters."

"Here’s my thought: If I get the chance, I’d like to open a Peace Restaurant."

"No matter the monster, Red House, if they come to my place, they must behave nicely and not fight."

"Desire Tower isn’t about fighting and killing; it’s about the ways of the world."

I have to say...

William’s words were quite appreciated by the boss. This boss indeed experienced plenty of supernatural events.

Hawker thought he wouldn’t return to Jicheng in the short term.

After he left Jicheng and returned to the bunker, during this period Wen Xishu also visited here and endorsed the boss’s idea.

Thus, the boss began to entertain various eerie tales deep into the night.

The boss survived. It’s worth mentioning a certain terrifying night.

This boss really had some guts. On a rainy night, he continued to open.

At midnight, those monsters from Jicheng began looking for prey.

But upon entering the small tavern, they were immediately entertained by the boss.

No fighting allowed, no harming people, there was enough booze and snacks.

The boss summoned his courage and actually made the monsters not view him as a mere human.

This is what the monsters thought:

"He dares to entertain me? Surely he must have a trump card?"

The first monster thought so, then the subsequent monsters thought:

"The previous monsters didn’t dare to strike... This boss is no ordinary guy."

Latter monsters thought:

"So many ferocious beings sitting quietly together drinking... this boss, his power is immeasurable."

It was absurd, yet rational.

When a number of monsters gathered in the small tavern, quietly drinking and recounting their unlucky lives...

These monsters, who should have been enemies in Jicheng, surprisingly found a sense of connection from each other’s misfortunes.

Not only did they not fight, but they also formed slight emotional bonds during the drinking process.

Months passed, and the eerie tale tavern became renowned.

No fighting allowed, disputes resolved outside the tavern, no bringing them inside, talented eerie tales could sing, play guitar.

Newcomers could drink for free on their first day, but must pay next time.

No one could imagine, a scaled-down version of Hawker’s anticipated Peace Restaurant opened just like that.

Months passed in Jicheng, but only a week or two in bunker time, and Hawker finally began another round of climbing the tower.

Hawker indeed didn’t do enough homework.

In fact, there’s a theory in the bunker, discovered by Xu Manjin, the second of Deceit Tower.

Xu Manjin is the one who brought Wen Xishu the Three Towers company badge.

In his theory—Deceit Tower has tendencies.

If one is used to resolving monsters within Deceit Tower through intellect, it’s easier to be paired with levels requiring mental exercise.

If one likes using bizarre methods to tackle monsters, correspondingly, Deceit Tower will judge them as monsters.

The former corresponds to Xu Manjin, the latter to Zheng Zai.

Zheng Zai was deemed a monster because he liked devouring targets, and even received an eerie competition invitation.

Meanwhile, Xu Manjin liked using his brain, hence got a chance to interview at the Three Towers company.

Actually—this theory applies to Desire Tower as well.

Hawker, who likes resolving issues with money, is destined to have a deeper connection with the tycoon-ruled Jicheng.

In conclusion, Hawker’s second journey with Desire Tower again was to Jicheng.

It was another miraculous journey.

Hawker returned to the small tavern. The tavern’s boss treated him like a benefactor upon seeing Hawker.

"Ah! Mr. Hawker! How wonderful, I’ve met you again!"

Hawker said:

"Hahaha, I also didn’t expect to come back here. So I thought I’d come and take a look."

The small tavern boss said:

"The last time we parted, half a year has passed. You truly are my lucky charm!"

Hawker was puzzled. So the small tavern boss began sharing his story.

Hawker listened with amazement; this guy actually did it!

The small tavern boss said:

"I’ve established myself in Jicheng, many strange eerie tales like to visit me and share their tragic lives."

"Last time, I even met a human. He hasn’t yet turned into an eerie tale. Alas, this guy was quite unlucky."

"He doesn’t know what thing cursed him."

In the conversation, in the spirit of dialogue, the boss suddenly enjoyed sharing a few impressive eerie tales he encountered with Hawker.

These eerie tales, in Wen Xishu’s eyes, naturally didn’t make the cut.

For Wen Xishu, the current opposition must be against big organizations like Outer God, Commerce Association, Zodiac, New World.

But for Hawker, he found them interesting.

Although Hawker’s level in Desire Tower was very low, it only represented encountering minimal danger in this journey, not that he couldn’t achieve significant feats.

After listening to the boss’s stories, Hawker took interest:

"Are you saying, a guy called Han Shixian has mighty superpowers, but every time he uses them, his home gets burgled... or falls ill, or suddenly gets in a car accident, or something goes wrong at home?"
