We sat around the table, the amber liquid in the cups glowing faintly under the soft light of the dining hall. Sect Leader Hao raised his cup high. "To alliances, victory, and peace in the future!"
I raised my own cup halfheartedly, glancing at him. 'This man talks too much. Always so loud.' Yue Lian smiled, her delicate fingers wrapping around her cup as she joined the toast. Her movements were captivating, but I kept my focus elsewhere.
As we started drinking, I called upon the system. 'System, I need something. A pill that can boost my alcohol tolerance to the maximum. I don't want to deal with any drunken nonsense tonight.'
[Oh? Afraid of a little booze, Host? How embarrassing.]
'Just give me the pill.'
[Fine, fine. For the almighty Host who can't handle a drink, I'll provide the Alcohol Resistance Pill. Boosts tolerance to 200%, works on any alcohol in the multiverse. Price: 600 points.]
'...600 points? You're practically robbing me.'
