Chapter 319 Chapter 319 Thank you, Nancy!
Our bored gamer went out indeed and it did not take him long to find out that this place was as humble as they come.
The streets were almost deserted and there were only a few open lights in the town.
The torches paved little to no joy to the scene and it was as if everyone was in mourning in this fine cold eve.
Alas, this was only the norm in little towns like Shimmerwood and it would be a lie indeed to say that Clark was not at all disappointed from what he witnessed tonight.
Thus, our good gamer wanted to know where the fun was in this desolated place.
"Is this all there is in this town, Nancy?" Our bored gamer asked in the end.
"Affirmative, host." Nancy replied.
"But if you're looking to find something interesting tonight then there is a place that would fit your requirements." The helpful system added after a beat.
Nancy knew its host from the inside out and was only too willing to assist in any way she could.
"Interesting, you say? Hmmm... That is exactly the place where I need to be, Nancy. Lead the way." Clark smiled and was optimistic about the words of his system.
"Affirmative, host." Nancy responded in a cheery voice.
Ten minutes later and our bored gamer's steps took him to a specific location in town.
The place was not at all secluded but may perhaps boasted one of the more bigger buildings in Shimmerwood.
The structure was of course only made of wood products but the careful attention of its maker had set it apart from the nearby housing in the place.

"HALT!" A big man raised his right arm in a warding gesture. He was the gatekeeper of the place and it was his job to filter the players in this modest hall.
"We don't accept vagrants in here." The big man said in a menacing voice.
He could see that our bored gamer was a new face in town that he did not recognize and thus, he was very much looking unfavorably at this unwanted visitor.
Unfortunately for him, Clark was not someone that would take no for an answer tonight.
"TING!"
"TING!"
"TING!" Three bouncing jiggles of coin pieces resulted in the rise and fall of a pouch brimming with mortal wealth.
"I may be a vagrant but I'm a rich vagrant at that. Does your establishment shy away from the business that i bring?"
Our avid gamer teased and began playing the music of money and greed using the said overweight pouch.
"..." The big man gazed at the bag of coins and it did not take him long to decide the best course of action for the night.
"Welcome, dear guest. You may proceed inside." The gatekeeper smiled and his demeanor changed completely along the fresh information that beset him.
This big man was indeed a soul that knew how to adapt to the circumstances of the time.
"Thank you." Clark nodded and dropped 3 silver coins unto the hands of the big man. This was the greatest benefit of wealth.
It would open closed doors for anyone who has had enough of them. A few breaths later and our bored gamer went through the thick doors in front.
And it was at this point when he realized what this place really was.
"I bet a hundred copper coins!"
"What?! A hundred copper trash only?! HAHAHA!"
"My bet is one silver coin!"
"Throw the dice already!" There were men at the tables and they were shouting and happy wasting time and money at a game of chance.
It did not need telling that this was not only a gambling house but also one that catered to drinks and women also.
There were probably a hundred or more people in the house but the spacious place did not make the halls crowded at all.
There were rogue guys and there were also seemingly gentlemen in the lively halls.
At first glance it could be seen that this place served every walk of life, given that they have the money to spend in the four corners of this building.
"A party of smoke and luck. My kind of tavern." Clark grinned when he witnessed the joys of mortals around him.
He looked around and quickly found where he needed to be in the next breath.
Our bored gamer passed through scantily clad women, drunks and gambling animals until he reached his destination.
"Can i buy you a drink, girl." Clark said to one of the serving ladies in the place. It did not need telling that this girl was the prettiest flower of the night.
Thus, it was obvious that our good gamer had to choose this one and no other. The girl was young. No more than 18. She wore a sexy dress that cultivated her ripe body to the extreme.
She was not alone in such garments because there were servant girls like her who wore the same exact clothes for this evening.

The beautiful girl replied in a jolly manner. There was no doubt at all that she was trained well to serve her customers to the best of her abilities.
She was kind and had an innocent air around her which was the best magnet for predators and lowliest scum of society.
'The manager of this place must be really good indeed to protect the well being of his people.' Clark mused with passing interest.
To test this theory, our bored gamer dropped a bomb in the lap of the lovely girl.
"BANG!" A pouch filled with coins changed hands in an instant.
"Will this much make you have a change of heart, girl?" Our bored gamer asked gently.
There was panic in the eyes of the servant lady for a few breaths before she took one last breath and gave her answer.
"I apologize, master. But i really can't." The girl replied.
"I see. A pity." Clark nodded and redeemed his bag of riches.
'SIGH!'
'Since i can't get the prettiest girl in the block then i find no reason to stay here anymore.' Our bored lamented with a deep sigh.
He turned around and was about to leave the place behind him.
"What's the rush, Master Clark Colter? Did my girl Su Ya not entertain you well enough?" A voice stopped our good gamer in his tracks.
It came from a woman and Clark could only guess how she was able to know his identity given the drastic changes of his physique.
'A cultivator in this barren land? Interesting!' Our bored gamer thought and turned around with a smile on his face.
And when he got to see the owner of the voice, there was only one thing in his mind at the moment.
'I'm so glad that i came here tonight. Thank you, Nancy!'
