Chapter 206 Chapter 206 – Chatting
"Dad, bring it to a close," Wyntor said as he put a cup of coffee in front of Nick.
Nick looked with surprise, interest, and a bit of awe at the cup of coffee in front of him.
Vernon had sung its praises for over three minutes, and based on what he said, this thing seemed to be just as magical as Recovery Liquid.
Vernon looked like he wanted to continue talking, but he just took a deep breath.
"Sorry, I got carried away," he said, a friendly smile back on his face. "I just like my coffee."
"No, no, it was interesting," Nick said quickly. "I never knew about beans and that they could be turned into liquid."
Vernon slightly furrowed his brows. "Well, it's technically not liquid beans."
Nick blinked in confusion. "Didn't you say it's bean juice?"
"It's not," Wyntor said from the side, interjecting before Vernon could work himself into another sermon about coffee. "It's water that filters through crushed beans. It's like if you keep water in a very, very rusty container for a while, and it starts to be rusty and disgusting."
"Except that this is actually good," Wyntor added.
"Oh, I get it!" Nick said in realization as he looked at the coffee.
When the water had left the apparatus, it had been brown, but when he looked at it in the cup, it looked deep black.
Changing color was quite magical.
"Don't you think sugar and milk would be better for his first time?" Vernon asked Wyntor.
Nick looked up in confusion.
What was sugar and milk?
Wyntor just dismissively waved at Vernon while he put some kind of white liquid into his own coffee.
Vernon just raised his eyebrows in surprise and looked with interest at Nick.
He saw Nick sniffing the coffee.
'This is so interesting!' both of them thought.
"There's nothing in there, right?" Nick asked.
"No, just coffee," Wyntor answered. "Just drink it."
However, Nick was still a bit apprehensive.
After looking at the black water, an image shot through Nick's mind.
An image of something that looked almost identical.
This coffee looked like the liquid of the sewers.
That was just as black.
'Just get it over with,' Nick thought.
"Well, okay," Nick answered.
Then, he lifted the cup by grabbing the bottom and took a big gulp.
Nick was immediately assaulted by a bitter taste, but he didn't mind much.
The insects and mosquito larvae tasted similar.
The bitter taste reminded Nick of the Dregs, and even better, it most likely wasn't unhealthy or poisonous.
Otherwise, Vernon and Wyntor probably wouldn't drink it.
Vernon's eyes slightly widened in interest as he saw that Nick's face didn't scrunch up due to the bitterness.
Nick took another gulp and sloshed it around in his mouth. n--OvElB1n
Sure enough, it was just water.
Bitter and black water.
Then, he just looked with interest at the remaining coffee in his cup.
It was an interesting taste.
He wasn't opposed to it.
