Chapter 73: Drinking Contest
Wu Mengting knew that Hao Ren had already experienced Chen Tianlong’s abilities before, so by saying this, it should be enough to intimidate him, right?
"Oh, really?" Zhou Qianghan and the two little brothers behind him, who were coming over, laughed heartily, full of disdain.
Wu Mengting started to look at Chen Tianlong. After all, she had already made the harsh remarks, and as a girl, there was no way she could take on a group of men in a fight.
Seeing Wu Mengting’s pleading eyes, Chen Tianlong took a deep breath and said, "Alright, leave it to me to handle!"
After saying this, Chen Tianlong patted Wu Mengting’s soft shoulder, took the opportunity to kiss her fair cheek, then stood up and glanced at Hao Ren: "Who was it again, Hao... something?"
"Third Young Master Hao from the Hao Family, that’s Hao Ren. No doubt you’re a country bumpkin who hasn’t even heard of the Hao Family’s Young Master. Mengting, you’ve really lost your sight to fall for this punk."
With the Third Boss backing him up, Hao Ren became arrogant immediately, showing even more disdain for Chen Tianlong.
"You think you’re a good person? What a silly name!" Chen Tianlong said playfully.
"Of course!" Hao Ren boasted shamelessly.
"Good, since you’re a model citizen, I don’t want to fight you... How’s your drinking capacity?" Chen Tianlong changed the subject, leaving the other party puzzled about what trick he was trying to pull.
"Of course, it’s excellent."
Speaking of drinking capacity, he often hung out in bars and was practically inseparable from cigarettes and alcohol. Hao Ren said proudly, "Kid, are you suggesting a drinking contest with me?"
"That’s exactly what I mean."
Chen Tianlong nodded nonchalantly, then pulled Wu Mengting up, and let her sit in an empty seat beside him, "We’ll compete here. If you win, my girlfriend is yours. If you lose, disappear quickly and stop bothering her from now on, or... I’ll turn you into Hao Ugly!"
Hao Ren was stunned at first, then sneered, "Kid, why should I trust your word? What if you go back on it?"
"I’ll testify!"
Wu Mengting suddenly stood up and said. For some reason, looking at Chen Tianlong in front of her, she felt very confident.
Hearing Wu Mengting’s words, Hao Ren immediately became excited, "Mengting, you’re saying it yourself. If I win, you’ll be my girlfriend."
"Of course."
Wu Mengting said calmly, as if they had already won, "But if we win, you can’t disturb me ever again."
"Okay, it’s a deal." Hao Ren agreed immediately. It was a great opportunity, and he was very confident. He then shouted to a nearby waiter, "Waiter, come here."
"Okay!"
A young male waiter responded and jogged over.
"Chen Tianlong, can you handle this? I heard Hao Ren is a drunkard!" Wu Mengting was a bit worried seeing the situation.
"I have to!" Chen Tianlong said with a serious face, "Don’t worry, even if Hao Ren brings his whole group, it’s no problem."
"Oh, kid, you can talk big all you want. When you’re lying drunk on the ground, let’s see if you can keep pretending." A little brother on the side couldn’t help interjecting.
Just then, the waiter brought the drinks, a box each of red, white, and beer, stacked on the floor like a small mountain.
"Let me restate the rules of the game, just to prevent any cheating later. It’s simple, just drink against each other until one’s puking—not just drunk. And no bathroom breaks during the contest."
Chen Tianlong reiterated the rules to avoid any tricks from those guys later.
"Can I go to the bathroom now?" Hao Ren remembered an important matter. He had drunk a bit earlier, so he needed to relieve himself and he also had something with him.
"Go ahead, I don’t need to." Chen Tianlong said disdainfully.
Damn, pretending to be so tough. Hao Ren was annoyed by Chen Tianlong’s words.
However, Hao Ren wasn’t just going to relieve himself; he also needed to take two Hangover Relief Pills in advance to mitigate drunkenness.
Five minutes later, Hao Ren returned. At this time, Zhou Qianghan and the two little brothers were sitting with their legs crossed, smoking, ready to watch the show.
"Alright, let’s start drinking. I’ll go first."
After relieving himself and with an empty stomach, plus the hangover pills in effect, Hao Ren gulped down a bottle of beer. Chen Tianlong, without a word, picked up an already opened bottle of ice beer and drank it all in one go.
At this time, more and more people gathered around to watch the commotion. They didn’t care about eating seafood anymore, and even the waiters stopped their work to watch the two of them compete in drinking, which was quite lively.
Some people in the restaurant recognized Hao Ren as someone from the Hao Family, and knowing he was from the Hao Family, they dared not act recklessly. They had to wait for them to finish before doing anything else.
In no time, the two of them downed five bottles each, and after putting down the bottles, they went from standing to sitting on the sofa.
The primary issue with ice beer wasn’t the alcohol but that gas; indeed, Hao Ren drank a bit too quickly, kept burping, and the alcohol smell constantly emanated from his mouth, making the surrounding people take two steps back.
"Whoa, is this guy okay?"
"Guess he drank too fast."
"Yeah, yeah, even if you don’t get drunk from this kind of ice beer, it’ll bloat your stomach to death."
The spectators began to chatter, some worried, some mocking, but they were just there to watch the fun, offering up opinions for amusement.
After five bottles, Chen Tianlong, except for a bit of a bloated stomach, felt nothing else. Since it’s a contest, he couldn’t stop; he had to push through and defeat his opponent.
When Hao Ren picked up a bottle of beer to drink again, Chen Tianlong suddenly spoke, "Always drinking beer is boring. Let’s have something stronger."
"Oh? How do you want to do it? However you want, I’m up for it!" Hao Ren, even now, didn’t forget to pretend, to appear as if he could drink well and was sure of winning.
Chen Tianlong sneered coldly, snapped his fingers at the waiter, and a waiter hurriedly came over and asked, "Is there anything you need me to serve you?"
"Bring two larger goblets," Chen Tianlong said directly.
"Okay, please wait a moment!" The male waiter said, then immediately jogged away.
At this time, Wu Mengting was a bit worried. Although she had just seen how Chen Tianlong seemed to be good at drinking, hearing him want to switch to larger glasses, he might be planning to mix drinks.
Mixing red, white, and beer is very potent, equivalent to several times the strength of regular liquor, and she worried that Chen Tianlong wouldn’t be able to handle it.
"Are you worried?" Chen Tianlong turned his eyes to Wu Mengting’s face, seeing her looking nervous.
"What would I be worried about?" Wu Mengting glared at Chen Tianlong, "But, just remember not to lose. I’ve placed all my hopes on you."
