“Lin Ge, what’s jumping in your pants?”

Lanya also heard the sound. She looked down and saw something jumping in Lin Ge’s pants.

Lin Ge reached into his pocket and grabbed a slippery creature, which gave him such fright that he retracted his hand.

A green frog jumped out of his pocket. It had a smooth appearance with big bulging eyes. It looked very healthy.

“Why is there a frog in your pants?” Lanya pointed at the frog and shouted.

Lin Ge was stunned and speechless.

That’s not right. There should’ve only been his phone in his pocket. How did it turn into a frog?

Seeing that his phone – no, the frog – was about to escape, Lin Ge quickly stepped forward and grabbed it.

The frog struggled with all its might, secreting a slippery mucus on Lin Ge’s hand, but it still couldn’t escape.

At this moment, Neelu and Elise walked out of the shop. Elise saw the frog in his hand and cast a disdainful look at him, “It’s so sticky and disgusting.”

Lin Ge raised the frog and asked the two, “How did my phone become like this?”

Neelu explained with a smile, “This is a rejection reaction caused by the different operating rules of the two worlds. The specific principle is very complicated. You just have to know that the electronic products on Earth will become unusable here.”

The corner of Lin Ge’s mouth twitched, and he felt some heartache. This phone had cost him a lot of money.

“Will it turn back into a phone?”

Neelu smiled, “As long as you return to the bar or Earth, it will return to its original state. But you have to be careful. If this frog dies here, even if you return to the bar or your own world, you will only get a broken phone.”

Lin Ge was slightly relieved. It was good as long as he could get his phone back.

“Putting that aside, Elise, you’re really amazing,” Lin Ge suddenly said as he looked at the busy street.

Elise raised her thin eyebrows, “What do you mean by that?”

Lin Ge’s eyes swept across the bustling pedestrians on the street, “Our bar is located on such a busy street, yet only two new customers have come in three days. It seems that the wine you made in the past has left a deep impression. Your reputation is well-known.”

Elise was stunned for a moment, but she instantly flew into a rage when she came to her senses.

“Bastard, I’m going to kill you!”

If Neelu didn’t hold her back, she would have rushed over and torn Lin Ge to pieces.

Neelu had a helpless smile on her face as she said to Lin Ge in a gentle tone, “Lin Ge, stop teasing her. If I’m not around one day, I’m really worried that she’ll eat you. Besides, it’s not her fault that we have few customers. Uh, I should say that there are other reasons.”

Neelu didn’t finish her sentence, probably because she also felt that it was nonsense to say that Elise had no responsibility, so she changed her words and said that there were other reasons.

“What’s the reason?” Lin Ge asked curiously.

Neelu held down Elise, who could break free at any time, and explained, “Our bar is located in the city center, but not everyone has the right to enter.”

“You mean, people without qualifications can’t see the bar’s door?”

Neelu shook her head slightly, “For those who are not qualified, although this bar exists and can be seen, they will never have the thought of entering it. It will not leave an impression in their minds.”

Lin Ge only nodded calmly. Compared to the bar’s function of connecting two worlds, this didn’t sound like much.

However, as a wizard, Lanya knew how amazing this was. She couldn’t help but exclaim, “Oh, that’s amazing. To think it can secretly affect people’s thoughts, staying hidden in the busy streets without being discovered. It’s just unbelievable. Has a magic array been set up somewhere?”

Neelu smiled and said, “Young lady, you should ask the shop manager about this. We’re only employees here, we don’t know that much.”

“It seems that Mr. shop manager must be very powerful.”

“Don’t call him that in front of him,” Neelu reminded her, “Otherwise, he’ll fly into a rage.”

Lanya was stunned, “Do you mean… Mr. shop manager? Is there a problem with this form of address?”

Neelu smiled but didn’t reply. After saying goodbye to Lin Ge, she left with Elise, who was still throwing a fit.

Lin Ge was still holding the frog in his hand, “Lanya, aren’t you a wizard? Do you have any magic items that can help me keep this frog?”

“Yes, my hat is a storage item, but there’s no air inside. It’ll suffocate to death.”

She didn’t want to put a frog in her hat either.

Lin Ge was helpless. Was he only left with the choice of walking on the streets while grabbing onto this slippery frog? That would look just strange and disgusting. He would definitely be treated as a weirdo.

There were already many passersby looking at him with strange gazes.

At this time, Lanya lifted her big hat slightly and took out a small purple purse from under the hat. She poured out some silver coins and stuffed them back into the hat, then handed the purse to Lin Ge.

“Put it in my money bag. This bag is made of breathable fabric and won’t suffocate it to death.”

There were two thumb-sized holes in the purse, so of course it was “breathable”.

Lin Ge took the money bag and placed the frog in it. He then gently pulled the rope around the bag.

Croaking sounds came from the bag, but at least it was better than holding it in his hand.

“Lanya, can you help me hold this bag?”

“No, I hate frogs the most,” The obedient Lanya expressed her attitude firmly.

Lin Ge had no choice but to stuff the money bag with the frog into his pocket.

Lanya took a step back and pointed at the fork in the road.

“The Adventurer’s Guild is over there. Follow me.”

The two of them walked along the busy street and arrived at the entrance of the Adventurer’s Guild.

The guild was located in the most prosperous part of Uradaha Street, and there were many shops selling potions, armor, weapons, magic items, and all sorts of taverns nearby.

Lin Ge stood at the bottom of the stairs and looked at the eye-catching building in front of him.

The Adventurer’s Guild was a three-story grayish-white stone building. The foundation was more than a meter higher than the ground of the street. One needed to walk up a wide nine-story staircase and walk over a platform paved with colorful floor tiles to reach the entrance of the guild.

The yellowwood door was wide and grand, and on both sides hung the guild flag with an eagle and lion pattern.

At this moment, the door was wide open, and noise could be heard from the guild hall.

The two of them walked into the hall. Lin Ge looked around and found that it was very spacious, with wooden tables and benches on both sides, and a counter that was facing the door. It looked like a large tavern, or rather, it was a tavern that could accept missions.

Adventurers with nothing to do sat in groups by the tables on both sides, drinking, chatting, exchanging information, or engaging in meaningless chit-chat and table games.

Drunkards who liked to have fun would definitely like this kind of place. Lin Ge did not hate it, but he would never be able to work in such an environment.

“May I ask what you two need?” The two of them came to the counter, and the female elf in charge of daily affairs asked with a smile.

Lanya took a deep breath, her face slightly red with excitement.

She took out a gold coin from her hat and placed it on the counter. Her voice was trembling.

“We want to register a team.”

Croak.

The croaking of a frog could be heard from Lin Ge’s pants.
