“It all began like this…”

Everyone chimed in, describing how Chen Xiaobei saved Ning Yuchen to Sister Hua, so that she exclaimed in wonder.

“The Demonic Beast really didn’t attack? And it ran off just like that? I have never heard anything like that before!”

Sister Hua was an intelligent woman. She merely listened to the story and did not ask any questions.

When they had finished telling the story, Sister Hua smiled and said, “Cultivation aside, courage to step forward like that deserves our praise! Zhufeng, I will drink to you!”

Sister Hua took out two wine bowls and shot Hu Ben a look.

Hu Ben picked up the wine jar and poured the pale green liquid into the bowls.

“I will drink first!”

Sister Hua raised the bowl and shot Chen Xiaobei a smile then downed the bowl of wine in one gulp.

“Wow! Sister Hua, you’re quite the drinker!” Ning Yuchen and Liu Chen cheered animatedly.

Chen Xiaobei was impressed. She did not seem like a woman who could hold her liquor.

“Alright, my turn!”

Chen Xiaobei picked up the bowl and guzzled everything in one go.

“Sweet!” Sister Hua praised. “This brother right here is a true man! I’m glad that Hu Ben got to know a rare friend like you!”

“Heh, you’re too kind.”

Chen Xiaobei smiled, his tone almost formal and he made no attempt at cottoning up to her.

This little act, or lack thereof, raised Sister Hua’s opinion of him.

Most of the men who visited the pub came specially to see this gorgeous pub owner. If she had made a toast to any of them, practically of them would take the opportunity to worm their way into becoming friends with her.

Chen Xiaobei, on the other hand, remained calm and unaffected. He was not one to be roused by mere beauty.

“Great! Now that I’ve made a new friend, I will have to go take care of business. Go ahead and enjoy yourself! Drink and eat as you like! Remember to put it all on Hu Ben’s tab! Don’t be shy!”

Sister Hua bid them farewell and left them to make merry.

It was the busiest time of the night and she had a lot to do.

“Come! Come! Let’s drink to Zhufeng!” Ning Yuchen exclaimed and poured each person a bowl of wine.

“No, we can’t do it altogether at once! We have to do it individually!”

Liu Chen winked.

“Yeah! We’ll take turns! I like that!”

Hu Ben grinned.

“Hey! What about not making each other life difficult? The two of you are just trying to get me drunk!”

“Oh, so it’s okay for Sister Hua to drink individually with you but it’s not okay for us to take turns drinking one-on-one with you?! Oh, that hurts!”

Liu Chen feigned a frown.

“Zhufeng! Don’t try to dawdle! We are all true men here! Oh… and a strong woman!” Hu Ben said, putting on a straight face. “If you’re a man, you will not refuse us!”

“Er…” Chen Xiaobei was at a loss for words for a moment. “Alright! You can all take turns to drink with me! I will sacrifice myself today!”

“That’s more like it! I’ll go first!” Liu Chen picked up a bowl. “First, I want to thank you for saving our best team leader! Second, I’d like to apologize for insulting you! Here’s to you!”

Liu Chen gulped down the entire bowl until there was not a single drop left.

Since this petite girl did it, Chen Xiaobei would have to honor that. So, he raised his bowl and did the same.

“I’m next!”

Ning Yuchen could not wait any longer. He picked up his bowl, thanked Chen Xiaobei for saving his life and guzzled down.

Chen Xiaobei honored the toast by downing another bowl.

Hu Ben was next.

The bugger picked up the whole jar and said, “When I’m done, you follow!”

Gulp… Gulp… Gulp…

Because of his giant body size, his tolerance was naturally better than the common folk. He finished the whole jar in a matter of minutes.

“You… How can I…”

Chen Xiaobei picked up a bowl and drank.

“Hey, Zhufeng, that’s not how it’s done!”

Liu Chen chuckled.

“Alright! I won’t! I’ll drink till the end!”

Chen Xiaobei picked up the other jar and said, “But, just to be clear, after I finish this jar, none of you are allowed to make a toast to me again! Let’s eat, drink and chat! Don’t treat me like an enemy! Okay?”

“Alright! If you finish this jar without getting drunk, I, Liu Chen, will pay you the highest respect!”

Liu Chen looked at Chen Xiaobei, with a rush of excitement.

“I’ll carry you back if you get drunk!”

Hu Ben smiled at Chen Xiaobei.

“Maybe we can just call it off… I’ve never seen anyone with an alcohol tolerance as high as Hu Ben…” Ning Yuchen sounded worried.

The liquors here were very different from the ones back on Earth. Even an elite could get drunk on them!

“Gulp… Gulp… Gulp…”

But before Ning Yuchen could finish his sentence, Chen Xiaobei had already raised the jar and was guzzling it down!

“My god! You’re really doing it!” Liu Chen stared. “I was just teasing you… Don’t force yourself!”

“Zhufeng! That’s enough. Liu Chen was just joking with you. Just drink what you can. You don’t have to finish the whole thing!” Ning Yuchen said.

“I’ve already finished!”

Chen XIaobei put down the jar and looked at them as if they were being overly dramatic.

“He…really finished it!” Hu Ben peeked into the jar and exclaimed, “Brother! That was impressive!”

Chen Xiaobei was a little slower than Hu Ben, but he did not stop to take a breath halfway. He finished the entire jar in one breath!

“Wow! Zhufeng! You can really drink!” Ning Yuchen cried. “My tolerance is only one-tenth of Hu Ben’s. I would never dare drink like that!”

“Zhufeng, are you alright? Do you feel dizzy? Or like you want to vomit? I can go buy some anti-alcohol drugs!”

Liu Chen was worried. She did not expect Chen Xiaobei to take her joke so seriously.

“I’m fine. Drinking alcohol is like drinking water to me. I just have to pee and I’m fine.”

Chen Xiaobei shrugged.

“How… How is that possible…”

The three next to him scratched their heads.

“This is one of the purest starfield hard liquor! If I drink half of the jar, I’d pass out immediately. How can you say that it’s like drinking water? That’s insane!” Ning Yuchen said.

Both of Liu Chen’s eyebrows were raised. “Hu Ben’s tolerance is the best among the three of us! Look at him, he’s already sweating and his face is beet red! Look at Zhufeng. He looks like he did not even have a drop of alcohol in his system! That’s incredible!”

“Brother! That’s some extremely good alcohol tolerance!”

Hu Ben praised. “It looks like I have been demoted to 2nd place in the team!”

“That’s normal.” Chen Xiaobei said. “It’s not just you guys. There’s no one else in the universe who can drink more than I can!”

Chen Xiaobei placed his hand on his chest as he said this. The secret to his alcohol tolerance lied therein!
