Ji Yang really felt happy now; apart from being in bed with women, he hadn’t anticipated that drinking could also enhance his True Yuan.
Although it wasn’t much, each cup led to a slight increase, and after toasting around the table, Ji Yang felt his True Yuan had significantly increased.
Most importantly, he wasn’t even tipsy, as the effects of the alcohol had all dissipated.
Since that was the case, Ji Yang no longer worried about being outdrunk by others and focused on competing in drinking fiercely with one person at a time.
Everyone had their own agenda which was to get Ji Yang drunk, so seeing Ji Yang actively drinking, they naturally clinked glasses with him.
Now, with Bao Geishan audibly rallying everyone, enthusiasm surged amongst the crowd.
The officials from Chunshui County were known throughout the city for their high alcohol tolerance, and now even a newcomer was outdrinking them, which stirred some discontent.
Some of the officials who weren’t tasked with anything particularly thought of drinking with Ji Yang to see what he was really like.
If at the beginning everyone was cautious of Bao Geishan and feared upsetting him by approaching Ji Yang for drinks,
Now it was different—Bao Geishan himself had declared that he wanted to showcase the enthusiasm of the county officials, so naturally, they too wanted to drink with Ji Yang.
Group after group of officials arrived, all racing to drink with Ji Yang.
Facing Ji Yang, most of these officials had a mission—to get him drunk. Therefore, they didn’t show much respect, and each time they made toasts, they found many reasons to make Ji Yang drink up.
Ji Yang, having no intention of leaving his glass unfinished, matched their enthusiasm and insisted on clinking glasses and downing the drinks together.
Amid astonished gazes, Ji Yang met each toast squarely; he finished every drink offered by the visitors.
Although everyone’s glasses weren’t big, the sheer number of people added up, and some observant individuals noted secretly that Ji Yang had consumed quite a lot of alcohol.
When they looked at Ji Yang again, many officials showed signs of drunkenness, but he remained calm, as if he hadn’t been drinking alcohol at all.
What shocked everyone the most was that Ji Yang had instead started to take the offensive, pulling officials one by one to converse and toast. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel·fire.net
Ji Yang was humble in his demeanor, chatting amiably even with village officials, appearing approachable, and continued to drink glass after glass with them.
After being toasting a few times by Ji Yang, even Bao Geishan showed some signs of intoxication.
Looking at Ji Yang, Bao Geishan’s expression changed as he realized this new county head was excellent at blending in and joking with the officials while drinking.
This young man was not so easy to handle!
Today, Bao Geishan had felt more than once that it was not so easy to deal with Ji Yang.
Curious, Lin Shu suddenly felt that Ji Yang might have been drinking plain water, so, taking advantage of a moment when Ji Yang was speaking, she pretended to help pour drinks and swapped the bottles.
Although Ji Yang noticed her slight maneuver, he showed no reaction and continued talking with a village chief.
When Lin Shu secretly tasted the drink from Ji Yang’s cup, she was also surprised—it wasn’t plain water, it was indeed alcohol.
Lin Shu then looked toward Bao Geishan and nodded slightly.
At this, Bao Geishan was again puzzled, unable to understand the situation—just what kind of drinker was Ji Yang, that he could drink so much?
