"General Valery, that's not necessarily the case."
Xie Chenghai said, looking at them.
Valery, who had just spoken, raised an eyebrow: "General Xie, if you are confident, should we increase the stakes? We'll let the winner get more benefits."
Xie Chenghai frowned: "Wasn't the contract negotiated long ago? Is it appropriate to increase the stakes temporarily now?"
Valery laughed heartily.
"As long as both of us agree to increase them, what's inappropriate? Are you perhaps afraid that you will lose? If so, then we'll listen to you and not increase them."
Xie Chenghai pondered without saying a word.
Lin Chen stood up and said with a smile: "General Xie, I think the other party's proposal is very good. If they are so confident, why shouldn't we agree?"
Xie Chenghai looked at Lin Chen in surprise.
Lin Chen stood up to support increasing the stakes. If he failed, it would have a bad impact on Lin Chen's reputation.
Ordinary people might not care about reputation, because they have nothing to lose, but Lin Chen's reputation is precious.
If such a failure is recorded in history books, it may become an indelible stain on Lin Chen's life.
"This young man speaks well."
"General Xie, you're so old, but you're not as brave as a young man."
Valery laughed.
Xie Chenghai looked at Lin Chen: "Old Brother Lin, are you confident? Don't fail and affect you then."
Lin Chen chuckled: "One hundred percent win. However much they want to play, we'll play with them. Since they insist on giving us benefits, why should we refuse?"
"Arrogant."
Another Bear Country person said in somewhat broken Chinese.
Xie Chenghai looked at Xu Xiangyang.
Xu Xiangyang said: "Lin Chen has a good capacity for alcohol. More importantly, he is a very steady person. Since he said so, I believe his drinking capacity."
Xie Chenghai looked at Valery.
"General Valery, we have no problem. However much you want to play, we will play with you, but you must be careful not to hurt each other's feelings."
Xie Chenghai said with a smile.
Valery discussed with the others in Russian.
Soon they unanimously agreed.
They took out a document that had been prepared long ago. They had prepared several such documents, corresponding to different levels of bets.
Yang Jianghong came to Lin Chen's side.
He whispered: "Old Brother Lin, they are full of confidence. Someone among them must have a super good drinking capacity."
"It's okay."
Lin Chen smiled slightly.
Before long, both parties signed a supplementary contract. The supplementary contract increased the stakes for both parties. The winning party would win more, and the losing party would naturally lose more.
But it was still within the acceptable range for both parties.
"General Xie, you are destined to lose this time, haha. I hope you won't break your promise when you lose."
General Valery laughed loudly.
Xie Chenghai said calmly: "Our Hua Country has always kept its word and will never break its promise. I hope your Bear Country won't break its promise then."
"Don't worry, we won't either."
General Valery said confidently.
"Nikita, it's up to you."
General Valery glanced at the three people participating in the competition. They followed Valery to the main table.
"Old Brother Lin, it's up to you guys."
Xie Chenghai also led Lin Chen and the others to the main table.
The wine was quickly brought up.
For the sake of fairness, both countries' wines were available. The alcohol content and the capacity of each bottle were the same.
Yang Jianghong and the others were at another table.
Yang Jianghong's drinking capacity was okay, he could drink one or two kilograms, but at this time he smacked his tongue secretly. Both sides had brought up ten cases of wine, each case with six bottles, a total of sixty bottles.
An average of twenty bottles per person.
These wines were all pure grain liquor, with an alcohol content as high as sixty degrees.
The vast majority of ordinary people would have to kneel after one bottle.
"Open the cases."
Xie Chenghai said.
Cases of wine were opened.
"General Valery, you can replace them at will."
General Valery was not polite. He asked people to randomly replace half of the wine. If there was a problem with the wine, they would definitely find the problem after this exchange.
"Brother Chen, Brother Tan, relax."
Lin Chen said with a smile.
Xie Chenghai was sitting on his left, followed by Chen Zhiyong and Tan Yi on his right.
Chen Zhiyong and the others were a little nervous.
"It's okay, we'll just drink some wine."
"We are all first-level drinking companions, drinking every day, but we have never participated in such a thing before."
Chen Zhiyong took a deep breath.
Xie Chenghai said: "Drink as much as you want. If we fail, the responsibility is mine, not yours. Old Brother Lin, don't force yourself if you can't drink anymore."
Xu Xiangyang and the others were at another table.
Xu Xiangyang could clearly see what was happening here.
If Lin Chen got drunk and still drank, he would be the first to disagree.
"Serve the dishes."
Xie Chenghai ordered.
Soon all kinds of dishes were served, including Hua Country cuisine and Bear Country cuisine.
"General Valery, shall we start?"
Xie Chenghai said with a solemn expression.
General Valery nodded: "Yes, let's start."
One of the Bear Country people stood up: "My name is Nikita. Let's each drink two bottles to moisten our throats first."
He spoke in Russian.
But Lin Chen and the others could understand.
Lin Chen and Xie Chenghai understood Russian, and Chen Zhiyong and Tan Yi wore hidden earphones, with someone translating in real time.
Chen Zhiyong and Tan Yi frowned secretly.
They could all drink more than ten kilograms, but if they drank too quickly, it would affect their drinking capacity.
Lin Chen smiled and said: "Everyone has their own rhythm. Let's follow our own rhythm. I like to drink quickly. How about the two of us drink a few bottles first?"
"Okay."
Nikita nodded.
Victory or defeat was based on the total amount. It was also okay to get Lin Chen down. He often used the method of drinking quickly to defeat others.
"Gulp."
Lin Chen and Nikita each opened a bottle of wine and drank it straight from the bottle. Soon the first bottle was drunk like water.
Xu Xiangyang and the others watched with scalp tingling.
That was a highly alcoholic liquor with sixty degrees.
"Again!"
Nikita laughed loudly, and the second bottle was quickly finished as well.
Lin Chen said with a smile: "Let's continue. Let's drink quickly and leave early. How about each of us have two more bottles first?"
"Good!"
Nikita agreed.
He didn't believe that Lin Chen's drinking capacity would be better than his.
Soon the two of them drank two more bottles each. Without eating a single dish, the two of them had already drunk four bottles of highly alcoholic liquor.
"I'm going to the bathroom."
Nikita stood up.
Lin Chen also stood up. Most of his wine had gone to the system space. It was okay not to go, but if he drank four bottles without going to the toilet, others would suspect him.
After all, the stomach's capacity was limited.
The bathroom was very close. People from both sides followed them into the bathroom. Those who vomited would be directly eliminated.
Back at the wine table, Chen Zhiyong and the others also paired up to fight.
However, they drank more civilly than Lin Chen and the others.
"Nikita, shall we come again?"
"I'll drink two bottles first as a sample."
Lin Chen said with a smile.
He didn't eat any dishes and drank two more bottles of wine. Nikita swallowed his saliva. He had met an opponent.
He could drink quickly, but without eating anything, drinking six bottles of white wine would have a significant impact on his drinking capacity.
"Eat some dishes first."
"Let's take it slowly."
Nikita chickened out and coughed lightly.
"You can't do it either."
Lin Chen shook his head. He had only drunk four bottles, and Lin Chen had already drunk eight bottles.
He had met a god of wine!
"Damn."
Nikita's face changed.
He had only drunk four bottles, and Lin Chen had already finished eight bottles.
