Chapter 2071: There’s Something Very Wrong With You
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“This is a very unique tavern. That obscene-looking human male made a food called ‘drunkard peanuts’ which has an amazing taste!
“Ican’t describe that taste, because I have never encountered that taste before.
“It is so mesmerizing and irresistible.
“My apologies. An Observer shouldn’t use such descriptions, but I’m not able to find a more appropriate description now.
“Other than that, the liquor called ‘Maotai’ has an unfathomable name, but its taste is very rich and sweet, and its texture is very smooth. Its alcohol content is very high, reaching 58%. It has a certain hallucination effect, which can also be described as: drunk…”
Observer: Xi… Code name: 9527

“An advanced civilization’s existence was discovered on the Norland Continent. Gender: unknown, race: unknown, strength: unknown.

“She looks like a human female. She is wearing a battle suit made of an unknown metal.
“She can eat human food normally, and has a good resistance to alcohol.
“This advanced civilization is more advanced than Earth in 2050. It’s a race that is still unknown to the Norland Continent. There is no information to reference. It might be related to the Battle of Skyfall.
“The Host is too weak to capture it.
“The System’s permission level is too low to capture it.
“We have already labeled it for further tracking and observation.”
The God of Cookery Cultivation System reported.

Mag watched the woman finish the whole bottle of Maotai with the drunkard peanuts and then open that bottle of whiskey calmly as if she wasn’t affected.
“Did the advanced civilization’s alcohol’s tolerance evolve too?” Mag raised his eyebrows, feeling that he had misplanned.
“Perhaps their bodies already have the ability to break down alcohol quickly,” the system answered.
Xi poured a glass of whiskey and took a sip. She frowned slightly. She looked at the liquor in the glass in front of her, and then glanced at Mag.
“The faint smokey taste is the whiskey’s specialty. It’s not a problem with the liquor. After you accept that characteristic, you will discover this liquor is also equally intoxicating,” Mag explained smilingly.
It didn’t matter that she had an excellent alcohol tolerance; the aftermath of drinking Maotai and whiskey was formidable.
Xi was thoughtful, but she still downed the liquor in the glass.
She narrowed her eyes to sample that faint smokey taste. It felt as if a mustang was racing in her heart. It indeed brought a different sensation and drinking experience from the previous bottle.
“Whiskey. Not bad.” Xi nodded slightly. She put her glass and looked up at Mag.
Mag was also staring at her calmly.
“May I ask, did you activate any advanced machinery in that house 23 meters away from this tavern yesterday?” Xi asked in a voice that was as cold as the sound of an electric current.
“Machery? What machery?” Mag had a perplexed expression, showing her the level of knowledge that a resident of the alternate world should have.
Xi stared into Mag’s eyes for a while, making sure that he wasn’t lying, She frowned slightly, and explained, “Machinery means devices that can help people lower their jobs’ difficulty or make their jobs easier. It should be a huge machine that is made of steel. According to the feedback of the surrounding
residents, an earthquake happened yesterday. Did you feel it?”
“Of course, I felt the earthquake. The house shook obviously, and officials came to ask questions.” Mag nodded with an honest expression, and said, “However, are you talking about the house behind the one next to us? That is indeed my property, but it has always been vacant. I can open the door for you
if you would like to go see it, Miss.”
“There’s no need for that. I have already seen it.” Xi shook her head slightly, but she still had some suspicions. She was deliberating if she should conduct a memory search on this human in front of her.
The lie detector showed that he wasn’t lying. This meant that he indeed had no idea about that “nuclear”-powered machinery. An ordinary person couldn’t fool the lie detector.
“You’re really not shy.” Mag raised his brows slightly. The subconscious discrimination that an advanced civilization had for a lower civilization was blatant.
However, Mag was relieved that she wasn’t attracted by that nuclear-powered printing machine.
It was fortunate that Mag got the system to shift that printing machine to Chaos City.
Xi stopped talking after that, and quietly finished that bottle of whiskey and the three side dishes.
Although her expression was still as cold and aloof as before, Mag could see from the frequency of her picking up the dishes that even an advanced civilization’s being couldn’t resist the temptation of good food.
Burp~
Xi, who was prepared to settle her bill, burped, which surprised her.
As an extremely self-disciplined person, she hadn’t burped from overeating for a long time. She didn’t expect to overeat at a human’s tavern.
Xi placed a gold coin on the table, and said to Mag, “Bill, please. I would like to take away a helping of drunkard peanuts too.”
“Sure.” Mag gave her the change and a helping of takeaway drunkard peanuts.
The other party prepared to leave with the packed drunkard peanuts like a normal person after drinking two bottles of liquor with high alcohol content.
Mag didn’t get to ask any questions.
He wasn’t completely confident that he could make her stay, nor was he sure that she wouldn’t transmit any information back in real time while they were fighting.
Xi walked to the door with the drunkard peanuts packed in a kraft paper bag.
Footsteps suddenly sounded on the staircase.
Mag turned his head, and saw Annie at the staircase. His heart skipped a beat, and he secretly said, “Oh no.”
Xi’s steps faltered, and she suddenly tumed around. Her light green eyes focused sharply on that girl standing at the staircase with a picture book in her arms.
Annie also noticed Xi. Seeing that she was staring at her, Annie gave her a polite smile.
“This is my daughter, Annie. She can’t speak, but she loves to draw. She’s very cute, right?” Mag introduced Annie with a smile, and walked next to her. He leaned towards Annie, making sure that he could react instantly to Xi’s actions.
“There’s something very wrong with you.” Xi’s gaze landed on Mag again. A technological-looking black bullpup assault rifle appeared in her empty right hand.
Mag’s eyelids twitched a few times. That was a bullpup assault rifle that was even more exaggerated than the Barrett. Its hard lines seemed to be able to absorb the dark glow of the light.
It didn’t have support, and was carried by the lean woman single-handedly.
Awoman in a white tight battle suit was carrying a packet of drunkard peanuts in one hand and a black bullpup assault rifle in the other.
This scene looked a little ridiculous, but Mag felt an intense sense of danger.
He wasn’t certain if his sword or her gun would be faster.
Annie was right next to him, while Amy was upstairs. There was no way that he could retreat.
“Tm just a liquor seller. I don’t understand what you are talking about.” Mag tried to speak as calmly as possible.
“No. You’ve met Cthulhu. You’re already tainted.” Xi shook her head slightly. Her gaze landed on Annie, and she frowned as she said, “She has the presence of Cthulhu on her too, and it’s very intense..”
