Chapter 246: Southern Plains

"Coffee? What is that?" Carl asked as he looked at the strange liquid in William's cup.

Is that really something we should drink? The color looks suspicious...

William looked at his friend with a raised eyebrow, "You've never had coffee before?"

Carl shook his head.

William was silent for a moment. I guess Cultivators never really had a need for something to boost their wakefulness. Was coffee never invented in this World?

"Try it." William said as he held out the coffee mug.

Carl accepted it readily, trusting that his friend hadn't lied to him. Why would William do that anyway? It made no sense. 

He gave the brown liquid that looked more black than brown now that it was in his hand, giving it a quick sniff.

"Man, that smells weird too!" he said as he wrinkled his nose in disgust.
