Chapter 74: The Return of Yupanki

When Alan finally came out of the governor’s mansion, it was already afternoon.

He had spent the entire morning discussing with the governor and the administrative officer about the issue of patents. The two of them drew inferences from one instance and were able to come up with several new policies. However, there were still many other problems that needed to be resolved before implementation takes place. Hence, it was highly unlikely to implement the policies in a short period of time.

After Alan took the initiative to chat with Sofia yesterday, their relationship seemed to have improved a little. However, most of the time, he was still receiving the cold treatment from her.

When Alan returned to the tavern, it was already past the afternoon. A group of customers who had came early to line up gathered at the entrance of the tavern. This group of people were all here to play mahjong…

Seeing that it was almost business time, Alan simply let them enter the tavern first.

As he looked at them, Alan felt a little guilty. He always felt that this group of people was about to become the first batch of gamblers in Hailar…

On one hand, he played a part in introducing mahjong to the people. On the other hand, the popularity of mahjong would definitely have a detrimental impact on society.

Alan was fully aware of the cons of being addicted to gambling and he was very apprehensive that these guys would also get so habituated to the game that they would give up their jobs and spend most of their exquisite time in playing mahjong game for money.

As he looked on at the group of people swarming to the mahjong table in the corner, Alan sighed slightly. It has already been created so it’s too late for regrets. He could only try his best to keep things under control so that it would not lead to the worst case scenario.

The tavern had successfully used the electric lights and generators and every customer who entered the tavern was surprised as it was a very novel thing for them.

Many people came to visit the tavern out of curiosity. There were also people who heard that this new lighting tool was not only convenient but cheap, and they also wanted Alan to help them install it in their own shop.

In summary, for the residents of Rock City, the appearance of new things was like adding a bit of fun and color to their otherwise plain and mundane life.

Recently, Uncle Wayne had been showing off every time he came to the tavern. Not only did he create mahjong, he also made improvements to it. The effect was very good.

Bart finished making the two blueprints and replaced the power supply installations for the tavern. Finally, he had some free time.

The two of them had clearly been able to get along peacefully for a period of time, but recently as they had more free time, they began to find fault with each other.

“Shorty, aren’t you the next patriarch? How can you be so free? Is it appropriate for you to stay in Rock City all the time?”

Uncle Wayne was drinking wine and taunting him with sarcasm.

“You uncultured boor. You only have height. Whether I am the next patriarch or whether I’m free or not has nothing to do with you.”

Bart retorted unceremoniously. He never knew what being polite meant.

Alan was also at a loss when he saw them like this.

Recently, Abraham seemed to have a lot on his mind. Uncle Wayne was a rough guy and didn’t notice it at all.

Alan was still a sensitive person. He could clearly feel the anxiety and worry that Abraham is experiencing.

Lately, Abraham was often staring at Lolita. Perhaps he was worried about the Abyss.

The reason why he suddenly became worried was because of Lolita, who was currently being teased by the guests and was about to cry from anger.

Alan guessed that Lolita’s identity was definitely not as simple as being the demon king’s youngest daughter. It was very likely that she had some special abilities in the Abyss, which made her identity even more special.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense. Otherwise, why would Abraham, the evil lord, became so worried after the demon king’s daughter was found? After all, that was what was written in the novels in the previous life.

Alan looked at Lolita, whose eyes were filled with tears and had a stubborn look on her face as she refuted the teasing of those uncles. Then he looked at the evil lord, whose gaze was always on the little princess.

The Abyss group was also made up of Xiao Bai and Ai Xiaohei, and they were the most carefree. Every day, they only thought about how to deal with that cat or dog discreetly.

Alan did not know what to do about the situation in the Abyss, so he could only wait and see.

Sofia came very early today. The day before, after Alan took the initiative to express his goodwill, she became a little tempted again.

An anonymous yet famous person once said that love was the most unpredictable emotion in the world, and the human heart was the most unsearchable place in the universe.

Alan could be extremely sharp at times, but he was completely slow in dealing with certain emotions.

“Sofia, soon the electric light will be made available to the Elf Tavern. Today, the governor and the administrative officer have agreed to it.”

Alan said excitedly. He was quite invested about completing the first part of the fifth mission. After all, the lighting system was the foundation of his life in the other world.

“Is that so? The governor came to see it?”

Sofia was not surprised. It was expected that Alan’s proposal was approved

After coming to the tavern yesterday, Sofia was very astonished and conflicted about the changes in the tavern. Seeing how the electric light made the tavern so bright, she felt incredible.

“They didn’t come. They agreed after listening to me. They even said that they would come to the tavern to drink after they had some free time.”

Alan was wiping a glass that had just been washed as he chatted with her.

Alan has gradually got accustomed to life in the tavern and it was reflected in his daily habits as well. He had gone from an ordinary white-collar worker to a small boss in the tavern. His life had undergone a tremendous change.

He had transmigrated to the other world alone. At the beginning, he had to take things step by step, and now, he had friends all over the city.

The customers who came to drink took good care of him. Alan’s friends also increased day by day. Not only humans, but also elves and dwarves. He believed that in the future, he would have friends among the eight great races.

It was late in the night. Alan was about to close shop and rest.

Standing outside the door of the tavern was a man with a shocked face.

Alan recognised this man. After all, this was the number one waiter in the tavern that he had been longing for!

“Yupanki!”

Yupank stood on the street with a wooden look and raised his head to look at the plaque on the door of the tavern. It was a familiar square character, and he had found the right place.

However, why did the door change its appearance? The street lamp had turned into a pole that he had never seen before, with a small glowing ball on its head.

This small white ball had actually made the entire entrance as bright as day. Standing under the light, everything can been seen and it was impossible to hide away.

He was making wild guesses in his heart. He had left not long ago, how had it become like this!?

What was that glowing white ball!!? How could it illuminate the surroundings so brightly!?? Was it Alan’s new toy!?

Yupanki was still in a state of shock as he stood outside the tavern’s door for a long time. It was not until Alan came out to call him that he came back to his senses.

“Alan, this…”

He pointed at the electric light at the door and asked in puzzlement.

“Come in first. A lot of things have happened during this period of time. I’ll tell you slowly.”

Alan was very happy when he saw Yupanki return. After all, the best employee of his tavern had returned!

Yupanki was full of doubts as he followed Alan into the tavern.

He saw that the magic lamp in the tavern had turned into a small ball of white light, just like the one outside the door.

Yupanki sat down and looked at Alan with a puzzled face, waiting for him to explain.

“It’s a long story. After the harvest season, business at the tavern has skyrocketed. I’m so busy that I’m going crazy.”

Alan couldn’t help but lament to him. He never got to have time on his own after the harvest season.
