Chapter 23: First Day at Penguin Logistics 

Chapter 23: First Day at Penguin Logistics

　　"How does it feel?"

　　"...bitter." The four

people answered almost at the same time, and there were some distorted

expressions on their faces.

　　"Is it so bitter?"

Reinette looked at the expressions of the four people in front of her and

raised the bottle in her hand in front of her.

　　Although the system's

notes indicate that if this thing is consumed too much, everything the person

eats will taste bitter for one to two months.

(T/n: hell for exusiai)

　　But, as we all know, the

way to get someone to press something is to write "Don't press" on it.

　　Reinette stared at the

small bottle in her hand. She suddenly looked forward to seeing how bitter this

thing would be. Reinette reached out and picked up the water cup on the table

in front of everyone.

　　Then he picked up the cup

and drank a sip of water calmly, then put the bottle back into his pocket.

　　What a pity, she is not

such a curious person. It is enough for her to just watch other people's

reactions. Reinette likes to watch some fun, but she doesn't want to become

another fun.

Exusiai looked at Reinette with disappointment as she had

put her hand back into her pocket. She really wanted to see the expression on

Reinette's face, such an elegant woman, after taking a sip of the stuff she had

just drunk.

　　Another croissant who

wanted to watch the fun was a little disappointed, but she turned her eyes and

moved closer to Reinette.

　　"Hehe, Miss Reinette, I'm

really sorry about what happened yesterday." Croissant took out a pendant from

his clothes.

　　"It's a small gift, don't

mind~"

　　Reinette took it with a

smile. It was a very simple peace pendant.

　　As for why there was this

thing inside Croissant's clothes, it should be one of the items sold by

Croissant when he was setting up a stall. He probably didn't sell out all of

them, so he put it in his pocket.

　　"It doesn't matter. After

all, I have already gotten my revenge last night." Reinette took the pendant

and put it into her pocket.

　　Hearing what Reinette

said, the four people, especially Sora who witnessed everything that happened

and the final victim, instantly flashed back to the tragic scene of last night.

　　At that time, the person

in front of them also had that smile on her face and drank with them. Under the

leadership of exusiai, Croissant and Texas successively launched a drinking

challenge.

　　As for Sora? She didn't

participate in anything. She was just Reinette, an innocent person who was

dragged into the fun.

　　But at that time, the

ignorant Penguin Logistics did not know that they were challenging a ridge that

was absolutely impossible to climb.

　　Under Sora's gaze, the

three people who stepped forward to challenge him fell one after another.

However, the smile that was always on his face seemed to be mocking their

arrogance.

　　As for the blush on her

cheeks, it was like the bait of an anglerfish in the deep sea, attracting the

ignorant girls to come forward.

　　"It's a complete defeat."

Exusiai leaned back on the sofa and couldn't help but let out a cry.

　　Although this guy was just

the first one to be pushed out as a knife-buster, it did not stop her from

expressing such emotion.

　　After all, when she

struggled to get up and went out with the help of the wall, and saw the other

four people also going out with the help of the wall, and when she came to the

hall and saw Reinette with a normal face, she understood what the situation was

like last night.

　　It was definitely a

massacre. Their great Penguin Logistics was defeated by her.

　　Wait, that's not right.

Reinette is also a member of their Penguin Logistics. If that's the case, then

wouldn't Penguin Logistics be invincible at the drinking table?

　　Thinking of this, the halo

of exusiai seemed to brighten a little, but then she also thought that it

seemed like no one would drink with them.

　　After all, they couldn't

possibly go to Officer hoshiguma, right? Although Officer hoshiguma would

probably be very happy to know the news.

　　"Mom~" Red stumbled out of

the room at this time. Even though she was a little drowsy, Red locked onto

Reinette at the first moment and pounced on her.

　　Reinette picked up Red and

touched her head: "How do you feel?"

　　" Red is feeling a little

dizzy."

　　Reinette nodded, and

beckoned towards the kitchen. A tray made of water floated out with a cup on

it.

　　"Be careful, it may be a

little bitter, but you will feel much better after drinking it." Reinette took

the cup from the tray and put it in Red's hand.

　　Several people nearby saw

this scene, exchanged glances with each other, and then realized that they

couldn't understand each other, so they picked up their mobile phones.

　　[Apple Pie: Why didn't she

remind us just now? ]

[If you need anything, please add this friend: Maybe because

she doesn't know how hard it is? ]

　　[If you need anything,

please add this friend: She did have a moment just now, and she probably wanted

to take a sip. ]

　　[Apple Pie: It seems so,

but Miss Reinette's move just now was quite impressive.]

　　[Texas: Elemental control

Originium skills, and the development level is quite high, and the level of

sophistication is also high. ]

　　[Sora: But why can't I see

Miss Reinette's staff? The bow from yesterday should be the staff, but Miss

Reinette isn't holding a bow now? ]

　　[Apple Pie: I took a look

at yesterday's medical examination report. Miss Reinette is not infected

either? ]

　　[Texas: If someone is

sensitive enough to Originium, they can use Originium in the air to perform

small-scale spells.]

　　[Apple Pie: Oh, speaking

of this, according to yesterday's medical examination report, Miss Reinette's

adaptability to Originium techniques seemed to be excellent.]

　　[Texas: That's right. ]

　　While these people were

talking on the phone, Red drank the water Reinette handed her without

hesitation, although her cute little face was twisted by the subsequent taste.

　　"Mom, it's so bitter~"

　　"It's normal. It seems

that the dosage is not controlled properly."

　　He raised his hand while

singing croissants: "Ms. Reinette, may I ask if you have any plans to sell this

powerful hangover cure secret recipe?"

　　Although the taste is a

bit evil, the secret recipe for hangover relieving is really effective and the

market demand is huge, so there will definitely be a lot of people who will buy

it.

　　"Sell?" Reinette looked at

Croissant and remembered that she liked to set up stalls, then shook her head.

　　"I'm sorry, Miss

Croissant, but I have no plans to sell it at the moment. This thing has certain

side effects. If you take too much, it may cause the user to have a bitter

taste in everything they eat for 1 to 2 months."

　　Hearing this, before

Croissant could react, exusiai was the first to rush into the kitchen.

　　After a while, she came

out with a relaxed look on her face: "It's okay, it's okay, sugar is still

sweet, it should be fine."

　　For our little sankta,

when she heard that the hangover medicine she drank might cause excessive

intake and cause everything she ate to taste bitter for 1 to 2 months, she was

scared and broke out in a cold sweat.

　　After all, for exusiai, a

loyal believer in desserts, eating everything bitter for a month is too

painful. It can be called a torture.

　　Texas was thoughtful about

what she heard.

　　"This thing is a natural

nemesis for someone. If you dare to cause trouble again, you can threaten

Exusiai to drink it."

　　Exusiai, who had just

walked out of the kitchen, saw that her three colleagues were staring at her

closely, and a chill ran up her spine.

　　At this moment, exusiai's

brain was working rapidly and she soon understood what they wanted to do.

　　Angel crossed her arms in

front of her chest and said, "Impossible, absolutely impossible. Even if I get

drunk later, I will not ask Miss Reinette to sober me up. Don't even think

about it."

　　'The reaction was

extraordinary.'

　　Texas pulled a pocky out

of his pocket and held one in his mouth, "Normally, I wouldn't do that, but if

you dare to cause trouble like the day before yesterday, I'll ask Miss Reinette

for a bottle."

　　"Texas, are we still good

friends?"

　　"Of course, but not the

day before yesterday." Texas responded to exusiai words calmly. It was obvious

that she was still upset about exusiai high-speed escape the day before

yesterday.

　　Exusiai , who was stabbed

by her best friend, hugged Reinette decisively: "Reinette! You can't be like

them. You can taste bitterness for a month. This hell of thing should never

happen in this world."

　　"Well, if you do something

stupid, I will consider Texas and the others' proposal."

　　"Why is this happening!"

Exusiai, who was directly hit by Reinette's words, let go of Reinette, took a

few steps back, leaned against the wall with a lost look on his face.

　　"Um..."

　　To be honest, Reinette

really wanted to throw some snowflakes on the head of Exusiai, which would

definitely add a different flavor. However, considering that she was a

colleague she just met, she decided not to do so.

　　"Okay, exusiai, stop

playing around." The serious Texas stood up decisively, returning the

atmosphere that was about to turn into a tragedy to normal.

　　"Since the emperor said

that we can clock in for work in the afternoon, then I will use this morning to

give you, Reinette, a brief introduction to Penguin Logistics."

　　"Thank you for your help."

　　Exusiai of Power at the

side said, "Speaking of which, Reinette, do you want to let Red join Penguin

Logistics? After all, hiring one is the same as hiring two. The boss won't mind

paying for one more person."

　　"Hmm..." Reinette looked

at Red who had already jumped out of her arms, " Red, what do you think? Do you

want to join us?"

　　" Red is with mother."

　　"Okay, I'll call yith."

Texas nodded, took out his cell phone and made a call.

　　"Hey, is Is in the company

now? Is he free?"

　　"Yes, what's up?"

　　" Red also wants to join

Penguin Logistics and do some testing."

　　After Texas hung up the

phone, he turned to Reinette and said, "He will be here soon. Shall we go check

out the facilities first?"

　　"It's troublesome."

　　Texas took out a data

cable and said, "I will install a special Penguin Logistics APP on your phone

first. You can check the orders and chat with others."

　　The APP was not big and

was downloaded quickly. Reinette took the phone and took a look.

　　'It's somehow similar to

QQ, but a little more realistic.'

　　Texas showed his work

badge hanging on his clothes: "To log in, take the code on your work badge and

scan it for him. It will be your exclusive account. This account is also

applicable to other chat apps. There is no need to register again."

　　Reinette did as Texas said

and logged in quickly. The panel was very simple, with three options: chatting,

taking orders and map.

　　But after all, this is

someone's work app, so there's no need for anything fancy.

　　As for the conversation

between the four Angels just now, as a newcomer Reinette naturally couldn't see

it.

　　Yith knocked on the door

and came in: "Ms. Reinette, I'm here to take Red down for a physical

examination."

　　"Let's go down together."

Texas stood up and invited Reinette to follow him. There was no need to go to

the test site, as Reinette had already been there once yesterday. That place

was often visited by Texas and Exusiai who liked target shooting.

　　"This is the pick-up area.

Some small and unimportant packages will be received by other front desk staff

and placed in the logistics warehouse. Other courier teams will deliver them

later."

　　Exusiai who came down to join in the fun added: "If

you are short of money, you can consider taking it."

　　After going down to the

first floor, Texas pointed to the front desk in front to Reinette.

　　"You can ask exusiai about

this later. Usually she and Croissant will take on small orders like this."

　　Reinette nodded: "I

thought there were only four of you in Penguin Logistics."

　　"Of course not. To be

precise, the four of us are more famous, but now not many people entrust

Penguin Logistics to deliver these."

　　"After all, the Logistics next door is more suitable." Angel

spread his hands.

　　Since next door Logistics

opened for business and gained trust, the possibility of Penguin Logistics

receiving such small orders has been greatly reduced.

　　"For some more important

items, the front desk staff will notify us and we can go over for an interview.

If we are not available, they will be placed in the logistics warehouse."

　　"Penguin Logistics' work

is not just about regular cargo transportation. Penguin Logistics also engages

in underground work such as intelligence trafficking, armed escort, and secret

transportation. If the pay is high enough, we can also be their people."

　　"Is told me about these

things yesterday, but to be honest, it doesn't seem like the work of a serious

logistics company."

　　Hearing this, Texas and

Angelic replied calmly in unison: "We have never said that we are a serious

logistics company."

　　The logistics warehouse is

located behind the building. Usually only intelligence and expedited goods are

placed in the company. Other goods are usually only placed in the logistics

company behind it and classified according to the situation.

　　Warehouse No. 1 stores

common valuables, such as pure gold, antiques, famous paintings and other

items.

　　Warehouse No. 2 stores

rare chemical materials, such as betaine and the like. I'm sure the Doctor will

be more interested in these (I'm sure).

　　Warehouse No. 3 is used to

store some Originium products. Generally speaking, they are pure Originium or

refined Originium ingots.

　　"That's about it. There's

nothing to be careful about. In most cases, just follow the laws of Longmen."

　　"What about non-most

cases?"

　　Texas showed the handle of

the knife in his waist bag, and Exia showed the submachine gun hanging on his

waist.

　　"For other people who don't

follow the rules, we don't have to follow the rules. Afterwards, we can ask the

boss to reimburse Longmen for the facilities."
