After hearing Yuanchu's words, the Bartender fell into a long silence—so long that Yuanchu thought time had been paused for him, just like for the people nearby. Just as Yuanchu stepped forward, intending to take the umbrella from the Bartender's hand and part ways right there, the Bartender finally spoke:
"Very well, but you must commit suicide after hearing the answer."
Yuanchu raised an eyebrow, finding it somewhat amusing:
"Suicide? Didn't you tell me you would agree to let me ask you a question? What, are you going back on your word now?"
The Bartender gave Yuanchu a deep look, then said:
"The answer behind this question cannot be traded for just one of your eyeballs. How about this: you ask another question, as long as it's not about me."
