Volume 27, Chapter 303.2: Liquor, Medium, Icebreaker
“Alright, that’s great. I’ll give you a fifty percent cut for every soul tool you create. We’ll come up with the materials. You just need to create the soul tools. In addition, I think you’ve also witnessed my special method of creating soul tools. You’ll be able to learn such a method once you join our sect.”
Gao Dalou’s eyes brightened, and he replied, “Of course, of course. Brother Tang, the liquor…”
Huo Yuhao waved his hand generously and said, “Little Dong, get the waiter to add one more complete set.”
Gao Dalou licked his chapped lips and gave him a thumbs-up. “Awesome!”
Very soon, the table was filled with rows of liquor glasses.
“Brother Tang, let’s drink.”
“Cheers!”
“Dalou, let’s toast once more! Oh, this liquor isn’t bad. It’s strong enough!”
“Great!”
“Fantastic! It’s absolutely fantastic! I’ve never enjoyed liquor like this! Brother Tang, did you notice that the liquors made from wheat are quite light, while those made from grapes contain the lightness of grapes even though they are hard liquors? I feel very pleasant drinking them!”
“Oh, this liquor has the taste of plums. It even tastes a little smoked! It’s quite special...”
“Cheers!”
“Let’s go…”
“Shit…”
Wang Dong’er was stunned as she watched from the side. These two drunkards didn’t stop at all. They kept on downing glass after glass of liquor. It was her first time seeing Huo Yuhao drinking like this, so she was shocked.
At the start, Wang Dong’er thought Huo Yuhao was doing this to tempt Gao Dalou. Gao Dalou was basically bought over by the liquor. However, Wang Dong’er noticed something was wrong. Gao Dalou had already been swindled. Why did Yuhao have to continue drinking with him? In a short span of time, both of them had already drank more than thirty glasses of liquor!
There was another person who was even more shocked than Wang Dong’er – the waiter who had deliver the liquor!
There were more than a hundred types of liquor. Since Huo Yuhao had ordered two complete sets of liquor, there were more than two hundred glasses of liquor. The table couldn’t fit all the glasses. Once the glasses were empty, they were immediately replaced by more glasses of different liquors.
At the start, the waiter thought Huo Yuhao was trying to put on airs, and he would at most taste a few types of liquor.
However, he saw the two of them downing more than thirty glasses on their own as time passed! More than half of them were hard liquors! If they were ordinary people, they would have been completely drunk by now. However, the two of them seemed like nothing had happened.
Even though every glass of liquor had been diluted by ice cubes, they must have consumed more than a liter of hard liquor each after thirty glasses!
“Yu… Master, stop drinking.” Wang Dong’er almost addressed him incorrectly in her anxiety. She lifted her hand to grab the liquor glass from Huo Yuhao’s hand.
Huo Yuhao deftly dodged and avoided her hand. He shot a look at her. As he thought of something, he used his Spiritual Detection to tell her what he was thinking.
Wang Dong’er’s body stiffened up. After that, her eyes revealed an indescribable look of ecstasy.
Huo Yuhao gently nodded.
“That’s great. Continue. You’re in a wheelchair anyway. I can push you back anytime.”
Why was Huo Yuhao drinking so much? He wanted to test whether each type of liquor had an effect on fusing his origin energy of Ultimate Ice, or if it was only just the rose liquor. If every type of liquor could do the same thing, it must mean that liquor was very effective for him.
His conclusion was that liquor was very effective. However, the effect didn’t depend on the value of the liquor, but its strength! The stronger the liquor, the better it was! Every glass of hard liquor was like a catalyst. The origin energy in his body was increasingly being digested by Huo Yuhao’s soul power. For someone who had three immovable limbs, this was like a delicacy!
Furthermore, Huo Yuhao remained clear-headed, as all the alcohol was being used to fuse with his origin energy. He was also getting more and more excited. He could easily last for three hundred glasses without getting drunk!
Huo Yuhao was amused that Gao Dalou’s tolerance level was actually very impressive. He didn’t feel any soul power undulations from his body, Gao Dalou was just drinking normally. His eyes brightened the more he drank, just like Huo Yuhao. He was getting more and more clear-headed as he drank.
“Great liquor, this is really great liquor! I haven’t felt so happy in a long time. No, I’ve never felt so happy before! Today, I finally understand what it means when people say ‘A thousand glasses of liquor is too little when drinking with a confidant.’ Brother Tang, I’m very grateful to have met you.”
After drinking his fiftieth glass, Gao Dalou was finally getting a little dizzy. However, the excitement in his eyes only grew.
“Brother Tang, I’ll follow you in the future. I can get liquor when I’m with you! I don’t even want the percentage cut. I’m fine with just liquor. What do you think?”
Huo Yuhao chortled and replied, “This isn’t much for me. In fact, I even know a sommelier. He’s a true fanatic for delicious liquor! If you meet him, you’ll really know what it is to have a drinking buddy.”
Gao Dalou was stunned, “Is that so? Is there actually someone who can drink better than you?”
Huo Yuhao answered, “I don’t know how much he can drink, but I’ve never seen him without his liquor ever since I met him. You can find him whenever you want to try, I’m sure he’ll be happy. Don’t worry, this liquor god lives very close to my sect.”
“Alright, alright. Drink, come on! Brother Tang, let’s drink! I’ll follow you and the liquor god in the future…” Gao Dalou was finally getting drunk. Such a drunkard would never be willing to activate his soul power to neutralize the alcohol in his body. He couldn’t bear to! It was important to bear in mind that Gao Dalou was a very stingy person...
“Brother Tang, didn’t you want to know the special characteristic of my soul tool? Since we are going to be in the same sect, I think it’s fine to tell you. The soul tool that I carry around me has a special characteristic called Blood Coagulating. It’s an added component to my Blood Coagulating Carving Knife… It’s impressive, isn’t it…?”
“It’s fine even if I tell you. That’s because only a descendant of my blood lineage can use this carving knife. I need to use my fresh blood to use this knife every time. Otherwise, it would have been stolen by many people already…”
“Fortunately the carving knife can only be used by a descendant of my family. Although its ranking is a little low because of my weak cultivation, it’s the only valuable that my father left me. If anyone else could use it, my Haemagglutination Carving Knife might even make it to the top thirty carving knives.”
Huo Yuhao was silently shocked after hearing Gao Dalou’s words. It was a carving knife equal to one of the top thirty top-notch carving knives! No wonder it was so strong. Even the shockwaves generated by the shock cannon were so strong because of the meticulous carvings made by this knife!
After three more glasses, Gao Dalou couldn’t take it anymore, and collapsed onto the table.
Huo Yuhao drank two more glasses on his own before smiling slightly. He turned to Wang Dong’er and said, “My dear, I need to pee.”
Wang Dong’er was speechless. “Can’t you use it for your cultivation?”
Huo Yuhao laughed bitterly. “I used alcohol, not water. You are in a guy’s attire anyway. What are you scared of? Send me to the toilet. Otherwise, I’m going to pee my pants.”
Wang Dong’er’s face turned red. Although she had seen Huo Yuhao’s body before, she had never done anything like this before! She started stammering, “Why don’t we go home, and you can…”
Huo Yuhao replied, “I can’t hold it in anymore.”
“Aren’t, aren’t you afraid that I’ll look at someone else? My eyes will be dirtied.” Wang Dong’er finally found an excuse.
“That’s true! You can send me to the door. I can go in and settle everything myself.” Huo Yuhao changed his words after teasing her. Over these past few days, he had felt tortured as Wang Dong’er regained her sense of self! A lot of his extra welfare had ceased to exist. Since he could only move his right hand, he was helpless against her.
After returning from the washroom, Huo Yuhao continued to drink. The waiter thought that they were going to stop, seeing that Gao Dalou had already passed out. However, Huo Yuhao was still drinking. He stopped drinking the cheap liquors and started to drink the high-end liquors. He only called the waiter in after he had finished all the hard liquor.
“Sir, what instructions do you have?” The waiter looked in Huo Yuhao’s eyes and felt like he had seen a ten-thousand year soul beast. This young man was unbelievable!
Huo Yuhao leisurely said, “You’ve seen my tolerance level. All these liquors can’t satisfy me. Is there anything even stronger?”
“This…” The waiter suddenly thought of something, and his eyes brightened. He said, “We still have some distillate here. Do you want some?”
“Distillate? What’s that?” Huo Yuhao was completely clueless about liquors.
The waiter replied softly, “Hard liquors are distilled beverages. Apart from some special cases, most hard liquors are purified distillates that have been blended and mixed with different flavors. After that, they are sold to the general public. This is a secret. I’m only telling you because you have a lot of gold soul coins.”
Huo Yuhao wasn’t moved as he asked, “How strong is the distillate?”
The waiter chuckled and replied, “It’s twice as strong as the strongest liquor that you’ve drank so far.”
Huo Yuhao’s heart twitched a little, and thought to himself, Aren’t you telling me that the liquors here have been diluted with water and other stuff?
“Give me some to try first.”
“Alright, wait a minute. However, the price of the distillate…”
Huo Yuhao revealed a slightly furious expression, “Since when is money a problem? Tell your boss, as long as the stuff is good, I want it long-term. As long as you have it, I’ll take everything. In my manor, I have an underground wine cellar that’s ten thousand square meters!”
