Chapter 62 - The Dwarf Arrived
Chapter 62: The Dwarf Arrived
After trying the new whiskey, Wayne looked at the smaller bottle next to him with more anticipation.
Alan said that this small bottle contained liquor that could knock him out with just two small cups.
“Next bottle,” Wayne urged excitedly.
When he opened the bottle that contained Burning Knife Soju, the smell of grain spread throughout.
This was a smell that they had never encountered before.
In the eyes of those who could drink alcohol, Burning Knife Soju was one of the most satisfying types of liquor. It was the fifth most powerful liquor in his previous life.
It was more than enough to conquer the drunkards of this foreign world.
To drink Burning Knife Soju, the system paired it with small cups that could hold about 50g of liquid. To this table of burly men, the mini version of the wine cup was indeed very small.
“Little Alan, this cup… aren’t you being too stingy…”
This time, even Dorje felt that Alan was doing it on purpose.
“Everyone, try it first. It’s best not to drink the first cup in one gulp. Take a sip to taste it first.”
Alan reminded everyone, although the others may not necessarily heed his warning.
“Hiss…”
As expected, as soon as Alan finished speaking, a series of “hiss, hiss” came from the tavern. The anxious middle-aged men overestimated their endurance.
The sneaky Ai Xiaohei saw the others’ reactions and knew how strong the drink was. She took small sips, and the first sip made her eyes light up.
This drink is delicious!
After one sip, the magic power in her body began to boil, and the burning sensation stimulated her body even more.
It wasn’t just Ai Xiaohei, the others felt the same.
“What is this drink called? It’s amazing!” Mister Dorje muttered.
“See, I told you!” Alan said proudly.
When Alan was brewing the Burning Knife Soju, he felt that the system optimized the recipe. The Burning Knife Soju that he brewed was purer, more fragrant, and stronger than the one he drank in his previous life.
Alan felt very honored that this type of traditional liquor could conquer alcohol gluttons like mister Wayne.
A small bottle of Burning Knife Soju could pour about 10 cups. For mister Wayne and the others, they only needed three small cups to knock them out.
If they drank other drinks as well, it would take even less.
Ai Xiaohei only drank half a cup before she was staggering at the edge of the table and fell asleep. Alan carefully picked her up and put her aside.
Abraham silently tasted the new drink. By the time everyone noticed him, he was already swaying in a daze, sitting at the corner of the table with tears streaming down his face.
He was shouting in his heart, “My Demon King, I’m sorry. It’s not that I’m not trying, but the opponent is too strong. I can’t stop him at all. This whiskey is too fragrant and the Burning Knife Soju is too delicious. But don’t worry, I won’t drink tomorrow. I’ll find out more information.”
Alan and mister Wayne looked at each other. They felt that Abraham was starting to imagine things.
Mister Wayne was worried that Abraham would start to talk nonsense in a bit.
He tasted the new drinks, so he urged everyone to leave. Alan sent the five away before heading to bed.
More than half a month passed since the Harvest Festival. It was time to cash in the rewards for the winners of those competitions.
The first thing he did when he woke up the next morning was to write a large poster and post the launch of the new drinks outside the tavern. The guests who came to drink spread the news by word of mouth, and soon, the news spread throughout the entire city.
Alan knew that the final winner of the drinking competition that night was a dwarf who just arrived in Rock City.
However, he had not been able to meet this potential new guest.
He thought that he should be able to meet him today.
As usual, he opened for business in the middle of the afternoon.
The tavern no longer only had a few customers as it did in the beginning, nor was it as full as it was a few days ago.
Business gradually stabilized as it successfully gained a group of loyal regulars.
Not every customer was like mister Wayne who came to the tavern every day. Most would come and drink a few glasses every now and then. This type of customer was most common.
At this moment, Alan was lecturing Ai Xiaohei at the tavern bar counter.
Recently, he realized that Ai Xiaohei had been drinking too much. He could even smell the alcohol on her when he was close to her.
However, verbal education was not effective. Ai Xiaohei’s face was full of disapproval.
“If I smell alcohol on you again, I’ll give you a bath,” Alan threatened.
Ai Xiaohei was shocked. Her big cat eyes stared at Alan in disbelief.
“You can try. Orina said that I can’t hug you, but she didn’t say that I can’t bath you. If you get drunk again, I’ll personally give you a bath!”
From her shocked expression, he saw that he found a way to restrain Ai Xiaohei, the villain in Alan’s heart couldn’t help but cheer.
“Excuse me, boss, do you have new drinks today?”
Soon after, he heard a rough male voice speaking very politely.
Ai Xiaohei looked at her temporary master and looked at him as if he was an idiot. Immediately, she began to meow angrily.
“You scared me to death. I should have known, Ai Xiaohei, you’re a girl, how could you have such a voice?”
Alan patted his chest and heaved a sigh of relief…
“Hey, Boss! Are there new drinks launched today?!”
The rough voice sounded again. This time there was impatience in his tone.
Alan stared at Ai Xiaohei. Indeed, he did not see her speak, and instantly, a chill ran down his spine.
“Ai… Ai Xiaohei… stop fooling around. This kind of prank is not funny at all!”
Ai Xiaohei rolled her eyes elegantly and curled the corners of her mouth. She looked at the terrified Alan with a hint of mockery and raised her head.
“Are you looking down on me? Why don’t you answer me!” The rough male voice sounded again.
Alan was frightened this time. He looked at the black cat in front of him and then looked around the tavern. Everyone was drinking and there was no way they could come to the bar counter to scare him.
“That… No, I’m sorry… The shop can’t receive customers like you for the time being…”
Alan answered that voice with a trembling voice.
“Idiot, idiot, what nonsense are you talking about? I think you’re looking down on me! This is racial discrimination! I’m going to the governor’s mansion to sue you!”
That rough voice roared in exasperation after hearing Alan’s answer.
“Eh…” Alan took a deep breath. It seemed that his words had provoked the other party, and the fear on his face deepened.
Ai Xiaohei, who was squatting in front of him, couldn’t stand it anymore.
“How long will it take for this idiot to realize that the person is down there…” she resisted the temptation of transmitting her voice telepathically to Alan.
Ai Xiaohei raised one of her front paws and pointed to the bottom of the bar counter. The complicated expression on her face pierced into Alan’s heart.
Alan suddenly thought of a possibility. He looked at Ai Xiaohei in surprise and watched her nod in agreement.
He leaned his head over the bar counter and lowered his head. Sure enough…
A stocky bearded man who was less than a meter tall stood there with a face full of anger. He raised his head and glared at Alan.
“Phew…” Alan heaved a sigh of relief and said, “It’s a dwarf. You scared me to death…”
When the dwarf heard that, he became even angrier.
“Are you polite!? You’re so impolite!”
Just as Alan let out a sigh of relief, the dwarf standing below suddenly jumped up with both hands on the edge of the bar counter and roared at Alan face to face.
The distance between the two was so close that he could even hear the dwarf’s breath…
The dwarf’s voice was like a loud bell, shaking Alan’s head until his brain buzzed, and even his ears were ringing for a short time.
“I’m sorry… I. . . didn’t mean it, I. . .” Alan tried to explain incoherently.
He already knew the dwarf’s identity. He was the dwarf who won during the Harvest Festival.
Ai Xiaohei looked at Alan who got sprayed as the dwarf screamed at him. She was secretly glad that she dodged just in time…
Look at this idiot, and he dared to threaten me?!
