Before Lin Ye started drinking, everyone thought he was just a young college student who didn't even know how to drink.
After all, his delicate and handsome appearance was simply too deceptive.
When he drank four glasses, everyone was only slightly surprised.
But when he drank eight glasses, people began to realize that something was wrong.
However, even now, they still didn't believe Lin Ye could finish all the alcohol on the table in front of him.
To do that, one would have to be a seasoned alcoholic who had frequented drinking establishments for years.
Even for an alcoholic, after finishing all the alcohol on the table, they would most likely pass out and be sent to the hospital for a stomach pump.
However, it was at this moment that Lin Ye suddenly picked up a glass of alcohol and downed it in one go without a word.
From his demeanor, one would have thought he was drinking water.
After finishing the first glass, he directly inverted the glass to the side and looked straight at Huang Ying across from him.
Then he picked up the second glass, the third glass, the fourth glass, the fifth glass...
In one breath, he drank all 8 glasses in the first row, and then he stood up straight, without a flush or shortness of breath, pulled a handkerchief from his suit pocket, and elegantly wiped the corner of his mouth.
After wiping, he refolded the handkerchief and put it back into his jacket pocket.
The next second, his hand reached for the entire bottle of alcohol at the end of the first row.
At this time, the large bar was already silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Ye.
If they had still been somewhat doubtful about whether Lin Ye could last until the end, then watching him down eight more glasses consecutively made their resolve waver.
Even Hu Die no longer tried to dissuade Lin Ye.
Just then, Lin Ye, who had just picked up the bottle of alcohol, suddenly spoke.
"Drinking straight from the bottle seems a bit inelegant, and it also takes up too much time. How about this, let's switch to this instead."
After saying that, Lin Ye put down the bottle in his hand and walked towards the bar.
Upon reaching the bar, his gaze swept across the counter, finally settling on an oversized brandy glass.
This brandy glass was like a fish tank with a base attached, with an estimated capacity of no less than 5L.
While everyone was still curious about what Lin Ye was going to do, he directly picked up this large brandy glass, which had been used for decoration.
When they saw this scene, everyone vaguely guessed something.
And Lin Ye's subsequent actions confirmed their suspicions.
He first placed the large glass on the table, then simultaneously picked up two bottles of alcohol, opened their caps, and poured them into the glass with a glugging sound.
After pouring those, he poured in the third bottle as well.
Finally, he didn't forget to pour all the remaining alcohol on the table into it.
The 5-liter large glass was filled more than halfway, meaning the alcohol inside was no less than 2.5 liters.
At this point, the people in the bar could no longer hold back.
"What is he doing?!"
"He can't possibly be trying to drink all the alcohol in one go, can he?"
"Oh my god! Is he crazy? That must be five or six catties! Even five or six catties of water would make one throw up from being too full."
"Tsk tsk tsk, he really dares to do it. If he drinks all of that, I'm afraid he won't die from drunkenness, but from being too full."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. How can a person drink so much alcohol? Maybe an elephant could."
"I bet 100 yuan, he definitely won't finish it."
"I bet 500!"
"It really wasn't a wasted trip today. Not only did I see such a wonderful magic show, but I also get to see something so interesting."
"Look, he's about to drink it."
...
Just as the onlookers were discussing amongst themselves, Lin Ye, in front of everyone, raised the giant glass with both hands.
At this moment, Huang Ying, who had originally been sitting calmly across from him, and Hu Die, who was sitting next to him, both involuntarily stood up.
"Little brother, don't overdo it. I was just joking. If you really get sick, I can't take responsibility. How about this, we stop here today, and you take all the money on the table."
Huang Ying had long lost her previous composure.
"Yes, there's no need to joke with your health just for a bet. It's good to know when to stop."
Hu Die also quickly advised.
However, Lin Ye merely smiled calmly.
"It's fine. Don't forget, I'm a magician. I'm someone who can create miracles."
"Tonight, this drink is for all the beautiful ladies here. I wish you all a wonderful night."
With that, Lin Ye directly put his mouth to the rim of the giant glass.
The glass tilted slightly, and the dark brown liquid continuously flowed into his mouth. The alcohol in the glass decreased at a visible speed.
At this moment, everyone present opened their mouths wide, their eyes filled with various complex emotions.
Surprise, confusion, shock, disbelief...
They couldn't understand how Lin Ye's not-so-strong body could hold so much alcohol.
Two minutes later, as the last drop of alcohol poured into Lin Ye's mouth, he finally took the glass from his face.
After taking it down, he didn't forget to turn the glass upside down and show it to all the audience and Huang Ying who was standing across from him.
However, at this moment, everyone was already in a collective state of stupor, as if they had been subjected to a paralysis spell, their brains also seemed to have crashed.
In their minds, there was nothing but the image of Lin Ye drinking five or six catties of alcohol in one go.
There was no way around it; the impact and shock of that scene were simply too great, even greater than the visual impact brought by Lin Ye's previous two magic tricks.
Just as everyone was in a state of absentmindedness, Lin Ye suddenly spoke.
"Ladies, I have finished my drink. Are you satisfied with my performance?"
As soon as these words came out, the people in the bar immediately woke up.
Whoosh...
The previously quiet bar instantly turned into a bustling market. Gasps, exclamations, cheers, and applause came in waves, one after another.
And among them, the most frequent were undoubtedly gasps of surprise.
"God! He is a god! He is simply the Greek god of drinking!"
"How can a person drink so much?!"
"This is called 'a little'? This is probably 'a lot, lot'."
"Bah, is this scientific? Is this reasonable? Where did all the alcohol he drank go? How come he has no reaction at all?"
"Not scientific, not reasonable, just like his magic."
"I'm very curious about his body structure now. How big is his stomach?"
"It turns out that 'can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk' wasn't an exaggeration."
...
Huang Ying also reacted at this time. Looking at the empty large glass in front of her, and then at Lin Ye, whose expression hadn't changed, she tried to speak several times but ultimately couldn't utter a single word.
After a while, she finally gave Lin Ye a thumbs-up.
"I'm impressed, I'm truly impressed. Little brother, you really gave me a surprise."
"If there's ever a drinking party in the future, I must bring you along. You alone can drink a whole group under the table."
"All this money is yours."
With that, she directly pushed all the cash on the table towards Lin Ye.
And Lin Ye unceremoniously collected them.
"Thank you!"
However, at this moment, Hu Die, who was beside him, suddenly looked at Lin Ye with a suspicious expression.
"You didn't actually drink all that alcohol, did you?"
As soon as these words came out, the bar immediately quieted down significantly.
Everyone's gaze once again focused on Lin Ye.
Facing Hu Die and everyone's gaze, Lin Ye suddenly smiled.
"I said, I'm a magician. Magicians are omnipotent."
"But you're right, I didn't actually drink all of that alcohol."
After saying that, he picked up an empty glass from the table, then took out the handkerchief he had in his pocket and covered the mouth of the glass.
Once the glass was completely out of sight, he gently pulled the handkerchief.
The next second, a full glass of alcohol appeared in front of everyone.
