Before long, the drinks and dishes were served.
"Jiang Chen, come on, a toast for you, you've chased away our campus belle. You must drink with the bros!"
A young man stood up to offer Jiang Chen a drink, his companions by his side eager and ready, just waiting to take turns getting Jiang Chen drunk.
However, Su Qingqing didn't notice these undercurrents. At the young man's words, her face slightly reddened, and she looked at Jiang Chen filled with anticipation, as if his drinking would signify his acknowledgment of her.
Jiang Chen cracked a slight smile, having noticed Xu Ruozhe's little trick. These guys were planning to get him drunk!
But Jiang Chen really didn't care. In the past, he might have not lasted long, but since he learned the Cultivation Technique from his dream memories, he had gained a whole new level of enhancement.
As for alcohol, no big deal!
"Thank you." With a faint smile, Jiang Chen raised his glass and clinked it with the other's.
"Come on, for your future, cheers!" The young man said with a light laugh, downing his drink in one go.
With a faint smile, Jiang Chen also finished his drink in one gulp.
"Come on, it's my turn. In school, I really liked Su Qingqing, and now that you've chased her away, you've got to drink with me!"
"Jiang Chen, Su Qingqing is the most beautiful campus belle of our school, and I've liked her for a long time. You've drunk with the others; you can't not drink with me!"
"Jiang Chen, you should know how popular Su Qingqing is at our school! You…"
At first, Su Qingqing was quite pleased, but as one toast after another was made to Jiang Chen, she sensed something was amiss and frowned lightly, giving Xu Ruozhe a glare before she opened her mouth to stop them.
Noticing Su Qingqing's intention, Jiang Chen waved his hand gently and squeezed his eyes at her.
Qing Qing was slightly stunned, thought for a moment, and then chose not to interrupt.
Jiang Chen, who refused no one, had drunk with everyone else at the table, except for Su Qingqing, Li Wen'na, and Xu Ruozhe.
And those young male students who wanted to get Jiang Chen drunk were taking turns drinking several large glasses of alcohol with him.
At the beginning, these students were all waiting to see Jiang Chen make a fool of himself. But after the drinking, they were baffled.
Because Jiang Chen had drunk so much and still hadn't fallen.
"He can really hold his liquor?!"
"This capacity for booze, is he a wine barrel?"
"Hey, look, he seems to be getting drunk now!"
"Almost there! But this capacity is already frightening enough!"
The crowd of students watched Jiang Chen with astonishment and began whispering to each other.
At that moment, Jiang Chen's complexion was flushed, his body swaying slightly as though he might collapse with drunkenness at any moment.
Su Qingqing's face flushed with urgency; she stood up to go to him, but then suddenly froze in place. When she stood up, Jiang Chen had stealthily winked at her again.
A lightbulb went off in her head, and Qing Qing pressed her lips together in a smile, settling back into her seat.
Acupuncture in traditional medicine could sober one up, and Qing Qing thought Jiang Chen would secretly sober himself up and then turn the tables on these fellows.
Qing Qing's thoughts were not wrong; Jiang Chen certainly had plans to outsmart them, but she had guessed the method incorrectly.
At this time, the vigorous flow of Jiang Chen's inner blood qi had already metabolized all the alcohol, and he was deliberately making his face appear flushed.
Xu Ruozhe's eyes brightened, and he gave a look to the group of young men again.
Those young men were a bit dumb, several of them almost at their limit, but to curry favor with Xu Ruozhe, they gritted their teeth and persevered!
Another round of toasting began!
"Thud!"
Just after the round of toasting, a dull sound rang out as one of the young men could no longer hold on and slumped directly onto the table, out of commission!
The entire banquet hall immediately turned their eyes towards Jiang Chen.
"Come, let's—let's go again…" Jiang Chen waved his hand, unexpectedly initiating a toast.
Holy shit, still not down?!
Everyone was dumbfounded!
Jiang Chen still looked as if he was about to get drunk, but damn it, he just wouldn't fall!
Xu Ruozhe was gnashing his teeth, staring at the few young men. A bunch of useless people, hurry up and continue!
A young man, who felt unnerved under Xu Ruozhe's gaze, swayed back to his feet and staggered over to Jiang Chen with a cup in hand.
"Come on, Jiang Chen, another one!"
"Let's do it!"
Jiang Chen appeared already buzzed, clinking his glass with the young man's and downing his liquor in one gulp. Noticing that the other hadn't drunk yet, he pointed at him, "Hey, why aren't you drinking?" Then, he grabbed the young man's cup and poured it into his mouth.
"Ugh ugh..."
Thump!
The guy, who'd been force-fed his drink, felt his head spin.
Another one down!
Xu Ruozhe's face darkened, and he kicked a guy beside him furiously.
With a pained expression, that guy also stepped up.
"Come on, come on, Jiang Chen, I..."
"Come on, bottoms up!"
"Bottoms up!"
Jiang Chen didn't turn away any challengers, his face flushed red as he took one cup after another.
Thump! Thump—
But the people Xu Ruozhe had called over kept falling, one by one; in less than ten minutes, everyone at the once-crowded table had collapsed.
Yet Jiang Chen was still standing, albeit shaky and seemingly about to fall at any moment, but just not falling!
"Jiang Chen!" Xu Ruozhe suddenly slammed the table, "I'll drink with you."
I'll be damned if I can't drink you under the table!
"You? Humph, no way," Jiang Chen shook his head, disdainfully declaring, "You, you just make others drink and don't take a sip yourself, not, not a real man. I won't drink with you."
"You..."
Xu Ruozhe was livid, his face red and his neck thick, but he was speechless because Jiang Chen was right; he really hadn't drunk. He truly couldn't handle his liquor.
But at this moment, he couldn't care less; he was determined to out-drink Jiang Chen, even if it meant getting himself wasted.
Otherwise, he would indeed not be considered a real man today!
"You name the stakes, I'm in!" Xu Ruozhe immediately roared.
Bang! Bang!
As soon as the words left his mouth, Jiang Chen, swaying on his feet, placed two unopened bottles of liquor on the table with a smash.
"We each take a bottle, drink or not, if you don't, you're not, not a man," Jiang Chen slurred intentionally, taunting Xu Ruozhe.
Xu Ruozhe's face turned pale, and he nearly collapsed to the ground in fright.
Good heavens, a whole bottle of liquor? That's going to be the death of me!
But he had no choice; nearly all the men were plastered, and most of the sober ones at the table were the female classmates. They had all witnessed the scene unfold, and their looks were judgemental. If he didn't drink now, he would truly fail to be a man.
All or nothing!
Grinding his teeth, Xu Ruozhe picked up the bottle of liquor.
But he wasn't foolish enough to drink it all so rashly. His plan was to wait until Jiang Chen had finished and collapsed; then, he wouldn't have to drink himself.
The other students, who were still somewhat sober, were all watching now, each one focusing on Jiang Chen.
Su Qingqing was also watching nervously. Although she believed Jiang Chen should be fine, she was still worried.
At that moment, Jiang Chen grabbed a bottle of the white spirit, twisted the cap open without a word, placed it to his lips, and with a gurgling sound like pouring mineral water, downed it.
Holy shit!
The room was dead silent!
Everyone was shocked, staring at Jiang Chen downing his drink as if he were a deity!
Isn't this a deity indeed? The Wine Immortal!
That's so freaking awesome!
