Chapter 3809: The Unbeatable Li Erdan

Before long, the security director and the village director also slumped onto the table one after another, unconscious, leaving everyone else dumbfounded.

The young man smiled again, raised his glass, and said to Li Erdan, "Secretary Li, come, let's have another drink!"

Ge Bin no longer tried to persuade the young man; he was now full of confidence in him and watched this scene with a smile.

Old Shen and Wang Baocai both looked at the young man in horror. Only now did they realize that the young man's capacity for alcohol was truly bottomless; he really wouldn't have taken on this job if he didn't have the skills for it!

Although Li Erdan had a high tolerance, he was now five or six parts drunk, having consumed no less than seven or eight taels of liquor. Looking at the young man, whose complexion remained unchanged, he felt a bit nervous. He feared they were going to lose today, but he couldn't bring himself to end it here.

He looked at Old Shen, hoping he would intervene, but Old Shen, having just been scolded by Li Erdan, hated him and pretended not to see. Who told you to be so arrogant, Li Erdan? Now you've hit a wall, haven't you?

Wang Baocai did speak up: "Young man, why don't we stop here for today? I think you've had quite a bit, and we have things to do this afternoon. Let's just eat something."

The young man had indeed drunk a lot; everyone knew it. He had likely consumed more than three jin. He was honest when drinking, showing the bottom of his glass after every cup, leaving not a single drop.

Seeing Wang Baocai helping him find a way out, Li Erdan looked at the young man with hopeful eyes, wishing he would stop. Although this was quite embarrassing for him, it was better than being drunk under the table.

Who knew the young man would smile slightly and say, "Director Wang, aren't you looking down on Secretary Li? I've heard that in these ten miles and eight villages, Secretary Li has never met an opponent in drinking. What is this little bit of alcohol? Secretary Li, what do you think?"

Li Erdan dominated Anpei Township by relying on his ability to fight, his ability to drink, and his large number of followers. He could indeed drink; he claimed he wouldn't get drunk on two jin of this strong home-brewed liquor, and in reality, he could handle about a jin and a half.

One must know that this home-brewed liquor was different from ordinary alcohol. Its alcohol content wasn't fixed but was very high, with the strongest exceeding sixty percent. His family's home-brew was very potent, at least sixty percent, so being able to drink a jin and a half was already quite remarkable.

Therefore, Li Erdan had truly never met an opponent in drinking in these ten miles and eight villages; his reputation was well-earned.

Hearing this, Li Erdan gritted his teeth. Damn it, isn't it just drinking? I've never been afraid of anyone. Let's drink. I don't believe you can really drink that much.

Li Erdan slapped the table and said, "Fine, come, let's switch to bowls!"

Li Erdan asked his wife to bring them two rice bowls. The bowls they used were not small, each capable of holding at least half a jin of liquor. Li Erdan looked at the young man provocatively and asked, "How about we drink with these?"

The young man smiled slightly again, nodded, and said, "No problem, let's use these."

Li Erdan said to Liu Cuilan, "Pour the wine. Watch me drink him under the table and send him to your bed."

Liu Cuilan spat, but still filled both bowls with liquor.

Li Erdan raised a bowl and said, "Come, bottoms up!"

The young man also raised a bowl and clinked it with Li Erdan's. Amidst the splashing liquor, both tilted their heads back and finished the bowl without leaving a drop. This scene was quite manly, but unfortunately, the village cadres were all passed out, and there was no one around to cheer, so it lacked some atmosphere.

Li Erdan wiped the liquor from the corner of his mouth and said, "Again!"

This was Li Erdan's most powerful move: drinking with large bowls. Even if he couldn't drink you under the table, he would scare you. Especially after one bowl, immediately following with another, the psychological impact was enormous, and many people would have already conceded mentally by this point.

Clearly, Li Erdan wanted to scare this young man too, but he had miscalculated. The young man said softly to Liu Cuilan, "Director Liu, please pour the wine."

Liu Cuilan was completely captivated by the young man's demeanor and grace. She obeyed him in everything and hurriedly filled both bowls with liquor again.

The young man raised his bowl and said, "Secretary Li, a real man finishes this!"

The young man tilted his head back and downed the bowl, then showed the bottom of the bowl to Li Erdan. Li Erdan was now in a difficult position.

If he drank, he felt the alcohol surging; his head was spinning. But if he didn't, his reputation of being undefeated at the table for so many years would be ruined in an instant.

He felt the young man in his eyes seemed to be swaying. He smiled; so this young man was also reaching his limit. He must be forcing himself. Li Erdan raised his bowl and laughed as he gulped the liquor down.

After finishing, Li Erdan smashed the bowl to pieces. His upper body swayed as he pointed at the young man and laughed loudly, "What are you swaying for? You can't take it anymore, right? Haha."

Everyone found it funny. It was clearly he who was swaying, yet he said the other person was. It seemed the undefeated Li Erdan was going to lose today.

Before the words had faded, Li Erdan swayed as he tried to stand up, but as soon as he did, his legs went soft, and he collapsed directly onto the floor, face up, limbs splayed, unconscious.

Counting it up, Li Erdan had drunk nearly two jin of this sixty-plus percent strong liquor. Although he claimed to have a two-jin capacity, how could he handle two jin of such strong liquor? It would be strange if he didn't collapse.
