Reborn as a Supervisor

"Social Science Floor...The designated librarian is Chesed."

“Hey, is this what coffee smells like?”

Roland came to the uh… “society’s scientific layer for testing coffee grind quality” – the “society layer” for short.

"Hello, Roland?"

"Come, sit here and enjoy a cup of coffee~"

Chen Fan consciously took the "sugar cube" on the table. It was simply blasphemy to put this thing in coffee.

"Ah, hello, Chesed. I'm really flattered by your hospitality."

"You and I are both librarians. This is how it should be between colleagues, right~?"

Instead of chatting with this "conscientious supervisor" who has a lot of tricks, a heart that is dirtier than Angela, and plays tricks more shady than Suo Ma, he would rather meet this newcomer named Roland.

"Then I'll obey your orders and give it a try." Then he spat it out.

"Ugh! Is this coffee? Is it stale?"

"That shouldn't be the case. I'm very sure that this is top-quality Kenyan BB-grade coffee beans..."

"Perhaps it is because the library's ability to reconstruct physical objects has not yet been perfected..."

Although Chen Fan didn't know much about coffee, he preferred tea, so it was unknown whether it was because of the library or was "long-planned."

Pick up a cup, put two ice cubes in it, add appropriate amount of honey and condensed milk, and then pour in cold brew American coffee.

After stirring evenly, a cup of "honey milk American coffee" is ready. It would be even better if someone didn't add 16 pieces of sugar...

(Coffee should be severely blasphemed...)

The coffee, which should have been black, was stained with someone else's color due to the existence of some impurities.

(Coffee: I’m not clean anymore…)

After Chen Fan's operation, Roland actually showed great interest in his cup of coffee. After all, the other party's expression of enjoyment did not seem to be fake.

"Well...you want to try it too?"

Roland spoke a little embarrassedly (pretending), and Cheese also wanted to try this "forbidden feeling", so Chen Fan made two cups for them.

"...There is no doubt that this is a cup of flawless and fragrant milk tea?"

Somehow, the cheese didn't manage to find the small amount of coffee that was supposed to be there among the large amount of sugar.

"Oh my god?! You call that coffee?"

After taking a sip, Roland felt that this cup of "coffee" was a bit "too bitter" (sweetness to the extreme is "bitter", and one sip ruins half of your taste buds)

But it is obvious that a cup of coffee cannot achieve that level. Although Chen Fan added a lot of sugar, he actually still added a little coffee, although the proportion was very small.

After all, he likes sweet food, and he doesn't make coffee on weekdays, but tea, so it's no problem to neutralize it with milk tea.

(Not only is this a blasphemy against coffee, it’s also a blasphemy against milk tea…ok…I laughed)

"This is indeed a slightly sweeter flavor, but...?"

"Huh? Isn't coffee supposed to be a strong, bitter drink that's slightly sweet with sugar?"

Although he had never drunk any proper coffee, Roland still knew what it originally looked like. After all, although he was a little silly and a little dull, he was not really stupid. After all, he could still distinguish between sweet and bitter.

"Roland, you come from a back alley, right?"

"Uh, probably, yes."

"No wonder~ When Carly tried the coffee I made for her before, she had a similar reaction to yours just now."

"Carly, who's that?"

"Mr. Black and Stupid" seems to have forgotten someone's name.

"Gebura, that's the Crimson Mist."

Roland was speechless for a moment. He recalled what he had said at that time. Although he didn't want to respond, there were many people who helped him recall.

Chen Fan silently took out a recorder. This was a precious recording of him "observing Roland communicating with Sister Hong". Then a familiar and somewhat mean voice sounded.

"Hey! Look at you, you're so cocky! Who do you think you are?!"

"Oh! Look at you..."

"Stop, stop, stop, stop!"

Roland said that he had already remembered it and didn't need Chen Fan to help him recall it anymore.

He snatched the recorder, secretly put his hands behind his back, and crushed his "dark history" with one force. This kind of thing must not be left in the hands of this "dirty thing" of the supervisor.

Chen Fan noticed Roland's little move, but he didn't care at all. After all, he had two identical copies stored in his system space. Why not use the ability to copy items?

Roland, feeling that he was fine again, continued with the previous topic.

"…The thought of Red Mist drinking coffee and making the same expression I just made…this is really funny, man."

"Yes, I still remember her look at that moment."

"…These are all stories from your first life, right?"

Roland had already roughly figured out the "behavioral logic" of these librarians. They liked to recall the past first, then what happened during the Lobotomy Corporation period, and finally their views on the future.

"Well, we worked together at a research institute in the suburbs at that time."

"Is the atmosphere pretty good?"

"Yes, at least during that time..."

Cheese fell into memories. Although most of the memories in this life were the same as those in the previous life, the "supervisor" in a certain timeline played really dirty and even overturned the "leader".

The original intention was to conduct an "ideological enlightenment movement" for the people, but the result was a "proletarian revolution"...

Although it succeeded, the price paid was too high. The number of surviving employees of Lobotomy Corporation could be counted on one hand, and all the residents of the entire L-Nest died...

"To me, that humble research institute in the suburbs is warmer than any magnificent place in the city."

“But when did tragedy strike?”

Although Roland's words did not hit a landmine, they were worse than a landmine, as he was already frantically testing the edge of the minefield.

"It didn't come all at once, but seeped slowly into the body."

Fortunately, Cheese has already let it go, and his current life is acceptable. Instead of dwelling on the past, he might as well taste the coffee that he ground and brewed himself.

What Chen Fan experienced just now was really "sweet", so he decided to drink pure coffee, espresso without any other accompaniments, so that he could recall the pure taste of coffee.

“It’s not impossible to understand.”

“Perhaps, my experiences were not just tragedies that happened in a single moment.”

"I have already been addicted to it. It was a despair that was destined from the beginning."

Alas, “that adult” had been planning this drama for a full ten years. How could it be possible that some “Ninth-Level Finisher” could comprehend it overnight?

Since the day the "Smog War" broke out, the chess pieces of both the black and white sides could only move according to Chen Fan's intentions, so Roland's two sentences were actually correct.

"I never said everything was wrong from the beginning~?"

"I'm just lamenting about the shitty things that happened to me in the past."

"Anyway, coffee... although it doesn't suit my taste, thank you very much, and please take care of me in the future."

"Well, we still have plenty of time to talk freely~"

"Now Carly also likes coffee, Roland will definitely love it in the future~"

"Lend your auspicious words."

Even so, Chen Fan's act of taking the candy cubes still caused Roland a lot of trouble. Sister Hong actually likes to drink sweet things, but she can also accept ordinary coffee.

As for the "coffee recipe of a great train navigator lady" that Chen Fan has in his hand, it can only be tasted by a system that has no role at all. After all, this thing was provided by the other party.

Although Chen Fan didn't understand the reason, he knew he was in the "city" so why the system channels were so different.

(A playful little system just came back from a certain world, and found that it seemed to be "out of touch" and its master developed too fast...)
