Chapter 211: Chapter 211: Astounding Alcohol Tolerance
Liu Zheng quickly finished the practiced case of alcohol.
As for the other group of people, being many, they naturally finished early as well.
After this case, the person did indeed feel a bit dizzy, after all, the alcohol content was quite high.
When they noticed that Liu Zheng still appeared unfazed, his face not red and his heart not racing, he remained very calm.
Initially, they thought Liu Zheng was boasting, but now, facing this scene, they truly felt a bit scared.
What the hell is going on? How could this person be so formidable?
A few people looked at each other, and for quite a while, no one spoke.
Liu Zheng couldn’t be bothered to waste any more words on them.
He quickly lifted another case of alcohol.
Without a word, he began drinking again.
The people next to him naturally brought over another case.
They kept drinking without stopping.
Almost no one entertained the thought of giving up.
If one case was doable for those dozen people, by the time they drank two cases, their stomachs began to churn, reaching their limits.
At this moment, the expressions of those people turned slightly more serious, looking like they were about to break.
But before they had finished the second case, Liu Zheng had already brought up the third.
Seeing this, all the onlookers were stunned; they hadn’t expected Liu Zheng to be such a heavy drinker.
Originally, now they thought they knew the outcome, that Liu Zheng would end up flat on the floor, perhaps admitting defeat, or possibly being bullied by the others.
But they never imagined that what they thought would happen simply didn’t occur.
And those dozen or so people who had just finished the second case were also dumbfounded.
They had never considered
that Liu Zheng could drink so much.
For him, drinking these amounts of alcohol seemed like drinking water.
But no matter what, this can’t be right, even drinking so much water would burst a stomach, wouldn’t it?
And they had been avoiding the alcohol, barely touching the dishes on the table.
Even guzzling so much water would be unbearable for an ordinary person.
So at this point, they really didn’t understand, could they have really been wrong?
It was because of this they grew increasingly afraid, afraid of possible failure.
The bystanders began to whisper among themselves.
"My God, since when could Liu Zheng drink like this? I felt he was quite inconspicuous before, but who would have thought he’d be like this."
"Right, right, he’s drinking it like water... no, normal people couldn’t handle even that much water."
"Oh my, it’s simply unimaginable how he has managed this. I’m feeling dizzy just watching."
"Yeah, at the beginning, I thought Liu Zheng couldn’t possibly outdrink them, but now it seems I’ve changed my mind."
...
However, they kept their voices very low, afraid that everyone would hear and not wanting to offend Huang Haoxiang.
At this moment, Huang Haoxiang was increasingly worried.
He truly had never imagined Liu Zheng could be so formidable, completely beyond his expectations. In a short span of time, he even didn’t know what to do.
At this moment, his stomach was beginning to hurt from drinking.
Although he had always been adept at handling such social situations over the years and frequently drank, he had never encountered anyone who could drink so much.
This was simply inhumane.
But he had just agreed and now it was impossible to refuse. Otherwise, wouldn’t that be losing face?
The few brothers beside him were all shaking their heads as they watched.
It was not until the third case was brought up.
When they looked up, they realized that Liu Zheng had already started on the fourth case.
Seeing this scene, several people almost blacked out.
They could not imagine how Liu Zheng had managed to do it; at this moment, they truly regretted the decision they had made earlier.
If they had known the outcome would be like this, they would never have shown off in the first place, nor would they have agreed.
But now, no amount of regret was of any use.
Everything had already happened, and they had no choice but to grit their teeth and continue drinking.
Just when they had barely reached the halfway point of the third case, Liu Zheng had already finished the fourth.
He took a serious look at the dozen or so people in front of him.
He noticed that their complexions were extremely awful, looking utterly miserable.
Seeing them in such a state, a smile tugged at the corner of Liu Zheng’s mouth.
"Alright, you guys can’t be unable to keep drinking now, can you?"
Seeing his relaxed and cheerful tone, the resentment in the hearts of the others grew even stronger.
But indeed, they were finding it difficult to keep up, hence, they didn’t say a word.
However, unexpectedly, Huang Haoxiang, who was too proud to admit defeat, immediately retorted.
"We are just drinking a bit slowly, don’t talk nonsense."
"Okay, okay, then take your time drinking. Just remember, if you insist on matching how much I drink, you’ve got to keep up."
After saying that, he showed no intention of stopping and continued onto the next case.
When the few brothers saw Liu Zheng continuing to drink, a chill went down their spine.
They really didn’t know what to do.
And at this moment, seeing them like this, Liu Zheng felt exceedingly happy inside.
Who asked them to have such thoughts and intentions from the beginning?
After so long without seeing each other, the intention was to have a good gathering, to exchange feelings, and perhaps even to have a good chat.
But he had not anticipated that they would go to such lengths.
He was a doctor, after all, and had already invented a non-intoxicating medicine a long time ago; it’s just that there had never been a suitable occasion to use it.
Because he had indeed rarely attended such events before.
He did bring one today, thinking that it might not be good if he accidentally drank too much, but he never expected that it would actually be used in such a scenario.
Even if ten more people joined them, they could not possibly be a match for him.
It’s just a pity that these people were still in the dark, still foolishly drinking away.
However, this was also brought upon themselves. If they had not had such nasty thoughts at the beginning, if they had not bullied the young girl, he would not have resorted to such a method to deal with them.
They got what they deserved.
