Chapter 583: Chapter 462: Using Wine to Describe People_3

There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world; if there seems to be, there must be a benefit you’re unaware of.

Gaven didn’t beat around the bush and straightforwardly said, "I want the authorization for your Heart-Viewing Cocktail, allowing me to teach others this mixing technique and to mix and sell this cocktail in other places."

Of course, Felen had no such thing as rights protection.

Gaven’s approach was purely to avoid making an enemy of a powerful former Adventurer, and when he could exchange benefits for what he wanted, he did so openly and legitimately.

This proposal completely caught Krewen off guard. He had seen all sorts of strange deals in his life, including trading with Souls, but he had never heard of buying an agreement with money.

His capacity for understanding was also extraordinary; he instantly grasped the intentions of the young man before him.

His own Heart-Viewing Cocktail was equivalent to widening the usage channels for Ghost Grape Wine, perfectly suitable as a signature cocktail for any tavern, especially in the big cities.

Most importantly, the young man before him held an unparalleled advantage— he monopolized Ghost Grape Wine, and when he opened a Heart-Viewing Cocktail-themed tavern, no one could compete with him because he could cut off this competition at the source.

But there was one condition; he needed a lot of bartenders who could mix the Heart-Viewing Cocktail.

Krewen sighed and said, "I can give you the authorization, but do you think just any bartender can learn the mixing technique I just used?"

"For the average person, it is indeed quite difficult, for the technique is easy to learn, but harmonizing with Ghost Grape Wine, and taking the opportunity to observe the state of the drinker, mixing a cocktail that integrates with their emotions and allows them to release their emotional seeds is harder, but not so hard it can’t be replicated, especially for those who already have control over emotions, specializing in Negative Energy. They can pick it up more easily." Gaven cut straight to the essence, pointing directly to the core of Krewen’s Heart-Viewing Cocktail.

The creator of the Heart-Viewing Cocktail, Krewen himself, was baffled by Gaven’s theory.

Because his cocktail mixing was based purely on experience, on instinct—if you really asked him to explain the reasoning behind it, he would be scratching his head; after all, his understanding of Negative Energy was far from as rich as Gaven’s, who had been immersed in it recently.

But upon closer reflection, what Gaven had said was indeed full of profound truth and completely matched up with the Heart-Viewing Cocktail.

The tavern owner couldn’t help but reassess the young man before him and conjectured, "Young man, you’re not going to tell me that you’ve already learned to mix the Heart-Viewing Cocktail, are you?"

"I’m not entirely certain, but I would like to try. Sir, may I borrow the mixing equipment?" Gaven nodded, then shook his head. The most important thing about the Heart-Viewing Cocktail was its ability to stir emotions; only achieving this could be considered a success.

"You may." Krewen walked out from behind the bar. His curiosity was thoroughly piqued, and he was eager to see just how adept the young man before him could be.

Gaven didn’t stand on ceremony and went right in, switching roles with Krewen’s status. He became the bartender, and the tavern owner became the patron.

As he picked up the huge cocktail shaker and began shaking it back and forth, imitating Krewen’s earlier manner, he spoke to the tavern owner, "I won’t be mixing multiple drinks at once; that not only puts a huge strain on the mind but also requires a high level of skill. I’ll just try to mix a Heart-Viewing Cocktail for the gentleman."

The moment he started, Krewen knew that the young man before him was an absolute novice at mixing drinks. Even though he tried hard to imitate and made almost no mistakes in his movements, they lacked the smoothness and beauty of someone experienced.

This awkwardness only lasted for a few seconds. As he continued to shake the cocktail shaker, his movements became more and more skillful and graceful.

Krewen didn’t exclaim about a genius or anything; he merely confirmed something — the young man had extensive combat skills and was proficient with various weapons.

Many things are interconnected.

Shaking a cocktail shaker and being skilled with melee weapons share a commonality — Balance.

In this process, one should not just force their way with strength; when necessary, you need to follow the weapon, follow the shaker.

When this is achieved, an inherent grace emerges.

That is what’s known as flowing like clouds and water.

Krewen guessed this was what the young man had seen through, which gave him the confidence to try his hand.

What surprised Krewen even more was what happened next: the young man’s shadow seemed to come alive, twisting upward and overlapping with him, as a cold aura suddenly permeated the air.

From the now-uncovered barrel of wine, a stream of Ghost Grape Wine automatically flew out and was caught by the vigorously shaken cocktail shaker, followed by rapid manipulation.

Since Krewen couldn’t see his own previous cocktail mixing actions, he was unable to draw comparisons, but the young man matched him perfectly in adding ingredients, including the sequence.

After demonstrating his Weapon Proficiency, the young man also displayed a powerful memory.

He couldn’t really have mastered the Heart-Viewing Cocktail in one go, could he?

This thought became an unstoppable force in Krewen’s mind, and the more he watched, the more likely it seemed. This feeling didn’t come from the young man’s perfect replication of actions; what was most important was that Gaven, at that moment, emanated an aura that had already fully merged with the Heart-Viewing Cocktail he was mixing.

That was the crux of the whole affair, the secret that transcended common understanding and had taken him half a century to discover. And to have it so simply cracked and learned by someone else?

Even as Krewen considered himself quite open-minded, he was currently feeling a deep mix of emotions.

Just as his emotions grew incredibly complex, he heard a ’plop’, and a freshly made Heart-Viewing Cocktail was placed before Krewen.

Gaven said gravely, "Please."
