Chapter 20

Lin Yihang never thought of himself as particularly noble, but he certainly wasn’t so low as to eat someone else’s fish and not let them have any.

Lin Yihang was very conflicted. Such a big fish, how he wished he could eat it all... Even watching others take a bite made his heart ache! But this fish was bought by someone else, and he couldn’t just eat it all by himself.

Now, a good opportunity has come knocking.

It was these guys who started the provocation. If he could drink them under the table, he could eat the big fish all by himself. Lin Yihang felt justified.

"Right, right! How can you call yourself a man without a drinking capacity of more than a pound?" Lin Yihang smiled and raised his glass. "Let me start the circle. One glass for each person, then you guys can do the same. What do you think?"

The entire private room fell silent again.

This little wretch... He’s really good at controlling the scene!

Wang Hao and the others were all impressed. One sentence to quiet the whole room, this wasn’t the first time, right?

However, to scare people, you need the strength to back it up! One glass for each person, you’ll probably be down after just one glass, right?

Wang Hao sneered, thinking Lin Yihang was just putting on a show. He was trying to scare them with big talk!

You’re underestimating us. We’re all seasoned drinkers, how can a little wretch like you scare us?

"Brother Lin, you’re bold! That’s what a man is! Let’s do a circle, one glass for each person." Wang Hao praised.

"Right, Brother Lin is bold! You start the circle, we’ll follow." The fat guy and others added fuel to the fire.

You start the circle... You’ll probably be down after half a circle, and whether we continue or not will have nothing to do with you... The fat guy added in his mind.

"Alright, let’s start with you!" Lin Yihang raised his glass and smiled at Wang Hao.

Wang Hao’s lips twitched.

Damn! Why start with me?

He was sure Lin Yihang would be down after one glass. But if it started with him, he had to drink one glass too!

However, it made sense. According to drinking etiquette, the circle usually starts with the people next to you or the most important person... Either way, it should start with him. He couldn’t expect Lin Yihang to start from the right and drink with Yang Tingting first, right? If that happened, the girl would probably stop the drinking.

Drink it!

At worst, after this glass, he wouldn’t drink anymore today. Lin Yihang would definitely be down soon, and the fat guys wouldn’t dare to challenge him, right?

If he drank it in one go, although it was a bit fast, Wang Hao was confident he could handle two glasses.

With this thought, when the fat guy tried to take the lead, Wang Hao directly refused.

"Starting with me, let’s start with me. Come on, bottoms up!"

Wang Hao wanted to show his decisiveness and cut off Lin Yihang’s retreat, so he raised his glass to drink first.

But he was too slow. Lin Yihang was faster. He put the glass to his lips, flicked his wrist, and... down in one!

Drinking in one go is a skill! It’s fine with a small cup, but with a glass... Even if it were water, you’d have to swallow it in two gulps!

Wang Hao couldn’t do this. He was a step slower and couldn’t match Lin Yihang’s momentum, so he swallowed it in two gulps, feeling very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Lin Yihang would be drunk soon, and this thought gave Wang Hao some comfort.

Alcohol is the essence of grains, and this is absolutely true.

Moutai is made from sorghum and wheat, and after a series of processes, about five pounds of grain can produce one pound of alcohol. The essence is clear.

As Lin Yihang drank, he began to refine it. This was to avoid affecting his meat-eating later. However, from the outside, his face seemed to be getting redder.

Heh, show off! Show off! You should go to the toilet now, right? I wonder if you’ll come out this time? It would be best if you drowned in the toilet.

Wang Hao sneered in his heart.

Unfortunately, his wish didn’t come true.

Lin Yihang’s face was red, but his state seemed good. He quickly refilled his glass, "Fat guy, it’s your turn."

The fat guy rolled his eyes. Fat guy? You’re not being polite. Just because Wang Hao calls me fat guy, you follow suit. We call him "Brother Wang," why don’t you follow?

Drink you down! This little wretch is really not well-mannered!

The fat guy forced a smile and raised his glass, "Alright! Come on, down in one."

He was afraid Lin Yihang would change the rules, so he clarified first.

Did Lin Yihang have any intention of changing the rules?

His current body had undergone some physical training and had a certain tolerance. With the immortal technique, he could refine the alcohol as he drank... Drinking white wine like water, that’s him.

"Clunk!"

Again, down in one, drinking with style and ease.

Three glasses, six taels! Not a lot in total, but with his drinking style... He should be down, right?

Wang Hao looked calm but was full of anticipation.

No!

Not yet!

Lin Yihang’s face was red, but his mind was clear.

He refilled his glass again and moved to the next person...

"Lin Yihang, take it easy."

"Lin Yihang, don’t be too strong."

Yang Tingting and Lu Man were almost numb from their repeated advice.

The next one, the next one must fall.

Looking at Lin Yihang’s increasingly red face, Wang Hao was almost numb with anticipation.

Lin Yihang drank his glass in one go, and he drank very fast. In a short time, he had completed a circle, and even Yang Tingting and Lu Man had each had a drink... Of course, Lin Yihang drank alcohol, and the two girls drank drinks.

One circle, eight glasses. One pound and six taels. Plus the first glass... A total of one pound and eight taels. Each glass down in one. What does this mean?

Lin Yihang’s face was red, and it seemed like he was about to fall, but he always sat there... This made Wang Hao feel very regretful... Just a little more, just a little more! I think one more glass, and he’ll be down, right?

At the same time, he was a bit impressed by Lin Yihang’s drinking capacity. No matter what, drinking so much at such a speed is a lot. Unfortunately, this guy is a bit stupid, offending him. With six of us, taking him down is no problem. Pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, he’s in the wrong place!

Wang Hao sighed in his heart.

...

"Next, it’s your turn to start the circle, right?" Lin Yihang put down his glass and looked at Wang Hao.

"Uh..." Wang Hao was slightly stunned. Damn! A circle means one glass for each person! His drinking capacity is good, but he can’t handle this intensity!

Seeing Lin Yihang about to fall, he didn’t want to drink so hard. There was no need!

"I’ll go first! I’ll go first!" The fat guy, eager to protect his master, had already raised his glass. "Brother Lin, it’s our first time drinking together. I’ll start the circle from you! Please give me some face!"

"Alright!" Lin Yihang didn’t refuse.

This fat guy is good... Big and strong, clearly a food lover. He’s the main competitor for the fish, so let’s take him down first.

If the fat guy knew Lin Yihang’s thoughts, he would probably kneel.

Wang Hao, however, sighed in relief... The fat guy had four more brothers. If they all started the circle from Lin Yihang, that would be four to five glasses, a pound of alcohol. Plus the one pound and eight taels already drunk... Nearly three pounds!

Even if it were beer or even water, he would be full to the brim!

Wang Hao was relieved. Lin Yihang wouldn’t have the chance to challenge him again.

It’s just a pity that this is too obvious. Yang Tingting was already clearly unhappy. But there was no other way! This dumb kid’s drinking capacity exceeded expectations... Fortunately, he’s about to be taken down.

Clunk!

Lin Yihang always drank with such boldness and decisiveness.

Yang Tingting and Lu Man stopped advising... Mainly because Lin Yihang was too stubborn and wouldn’t listen. They were already prepared to send the drunk Lin Yihang home.

...

The fat guy looked at the glass in front of him, feeling bitter.

This was his third glass, and even after drinking it, it would only be six taels. With his drinking capacity, this amount was no problem. The issue was the speed... Drinking a glass in one go! It’s not easy for someone without the skills!

Lin Yihang drank decisively, and after finishing, he looked at the fat guy. The fat guy could only pinch his nose and drink.

"Clunk! Clunk!"

This glass went down, and his stomach immediately felt like it was on fire. His throat was blocked, and the alcohol in his stomach felt like it was about to burst out.

The fat guy could only stretch his neck and close his mouth.

"Fat guy, are you okay?" Lin Yihang asked with concern.

The fat guy didn’t speak, just shook his head. He felt that if he spoke, something would spurt out. It was very uncomfortable... The people around him felt uncomfortable too.

"I’ll go! I’ll go! The circle should be done together. Brother Lin, your drinking capacity is impressive! I’ll start from you too!" Another young man raised his glass.

"Alright!"

Lin Yihang was prepared to take on six, so he didn’t refuse, and the glass was down in one.

As soon as the young man spoke, Lin Yihang had already tilted his head and drunk in one go.
