Supreme Archer: Taking The Game's Weakest Class To The Top

"It's Mary November, not Mary June!" Mary shouted upon seeing her brother, her hand forward into a V-sign!

Standing at the threshold of the Last Night's main gates, Jake gawked at his sister as her in-game introduction echoed in his ears.

His expression was of an utter disbelief as he caught the reference after a few seconds. Other players going past him also turned around to look at Mary, their lips curved up.

It was quite an amusing reference.

Only NPCs couldn't understand the meaning and glanced at each other before returning to their businesses.

Jake walked to his sister, "Isn't it Jane?"

"June or Jane, whatever! You get what I mean!" Mary smiled and forcefully took her brother into a bear hug, which made Jake struggle as he didn't have enough stats to defend against his sister's affection.

She also wasn't alone, so Jake grew red and quite pissed.

Mary's boyfriend, Robert, known in the game as Kein, stood beside Mary, chuckling at them. He knew how his girlfriend could get cuddly with people she loved, be it her brother, best friend, or him.

Jake's expression also amused Robert.

He waved at Jake upon noticing his stare, "Howdy."

Jake forced a smile, "Not so well, as you can see."

"Haha! Bear with it."

"You mean deal with the bear?"

"Huh?! Calling me a bear, huh! So bold in the game!" Mary only heard what she wanted to hear, and her embrace turned into a wrestling match that squeezed some health points off Jake's health bar.

Jake's face grew violet for a moment before Robert interjected, saving him.

Since the siblings had gathered some attention, Jake made a few eye signals to Robert to get them away from it.

The older man quickly caught the hint, taking them to the closest restaurant.

Jake rolled his muscles while walking beside his sister, "What's up with this introduction?"

"People were teasing me this way. I took this head-on and turned it into my catchphrase," Mary put her little nose higher, proud of her achievement.

Jake whispered, "That's so like you. Instead of solving the issues, you embrace them."

"That's why I couldn't stop myself from hugging you!" Mary sneered.

Jake clicked his tongue. He lost this exchange.

At last, the three of them were in the restaurant.

Going to restaurants was common in this game because players could taste the different cultures without leaving their countries in the real world. The game developers also made a miracle, and their world could produce meals and tastes foreign to Earth—a miracle impossible on Earth.

For that reason, it was actually nice to go to the restaurant and spend coins here on various dishes.

Also, modern restaurants nowadays are too self-served. People came in and picked whatever they wanted to eat from the tablets resting on the tables, and then the waitress would come to them with food just in time.

The only exchange between the restaurant and clients would be 'Have a nice meal' and 'Thanks'.

Though the game world had a system, and even NPCs could wield it, it wasn't this way here.

Various waitresses silently breezed between the tables. They were easy to talk to and could converse about anything with players. Their smiles lifted the souls of unfortunate or lonely players.

The mood was so different because of the world's unique architecture and magic.

In the restaurant where Jake found himself, the waitresses sincerely adopted to the red theme of the Last Night. Their dresses were red and influenced by the players' culture to an extent.

A few women liked the thigh gap and shorter hems, and some fell in love with a plunging neckline.

Jake's eyes went up and down for a while before his sister's comment snatched his attention back.

"Just get a girlfriend already," Mary said, her eyes narrowed and judging.

Jake harrumphed, "Who said I'd become henpecked if I were to get a girlfriend?"

"That was when you had nothing to do," Mary shrugged.

The trio had finally sat down at the table.

Jake was across the couple and spoke to the waitress while eyeing the menu. All the dishes were so foreign to him that he didn't know what to pick. He asked for the bestseller, explaining that he had just arrived on the mainland.

The waitress adorably smiled, "I see! Then I'll believe the wolf guard steak is the best for a man like you!"

"What kind of a man am I?" Jake asked, interested in her opinion. Would it be a sugar-coated view or something actually accurate?

The waitress nodded, "I can tell by looking at your posture that you have trained your muscles for a long time on the tutorial island. It's rare for newbies to come to the mainland with such a refined frame and aura. You come across as a strong and patient man, sir. That's why I believe a wolf guard steak is the best for you! Sir gonna wolf it! Hehe~~"

"That's actually impressive," Jake responded after a momentary disbelief faded from his face.

The lady smiled, "Years of working as a waitress. Are you perhaps a swordsman or a player wielding a melee weapon?"

"I'm an archer," Jake smiled.

It was the waitress's turn to widen her eyes in surprise.

She quickly smiled and responded, "It's such a joy to see a player serious about archery! Since I lack talent for magic, I practiced a little archery with my father!"

"Oh! I am all ears here!" Jake grew excited about hearing a different perspective of an archer. He made a spot for the waitress on the sofa he was sitting on and causally patted it—an inviting gesture.

The waitress thought for a second before sitting beside him. She passed Jake, Mary, and Robert's orders to her co-worker friend and indulged in the talk about archery with Jake.

She was so close that Jake could smell her perfume and feel her skin!

That plunging neckline and jutting-out softness were also on full display to him.

That said, his eyes were drowned in the waitress' hues as she spoke about her archery practice.

Mary whispered to her boyfriend, "He was supposed to feel like a third wheel!"

"So that was your plan?" Robert grinned.
