Chapter 206: Chapter 206: Don't Tell Me You're Trying to Dine and Dash?
Night fell.
"I'm so full." Lin Fan patted his belly, feeling completely satiated. He'd never eaten so much in his life.
"Thank you for the meal." He expressed his gratitude to their host. Truly a good person.
He rarely encountered such kindness when he was with Old Zhang, except from Little Bao, there really wasn't anyone else.
The large amount of food he consumed was quickly digested. The simplest way to cultivate his Qigong was by eating, converting food into energy to replenish his body.
The most advanced method was to commune with nature. That's right, it was the move Lin Fan used, embracing nature, absorbing the energy particles floating in the air.
"Old Zhang, let's go home," Lin Fan said.
Old Zhang hadn't touched the alcohol, focusing solely on the food. His stomach was now round like a ball. He had tried the alcohol Lin Fan enjoyed before and found it truly awful. One sip and he'd spit it all out. He simply couldn't stand the taste.
"Okay, okay." Old Zhang stood up, leading the hen and following behind Lin Fan. He, like Lin Fan, was very grateful to the person who treated them to this meal.
"Goodbye, take care of him." Lin Fan waved to the Demon God's younger sister, then pointed at Sun Xiao, who had collapsed on the table, and pushed open the door of the private room, leaving.
The waitress at the door was eavesdropping on the situation inside. The boss had personally instructed her to pay close attention to the private room. If anything happened, she had to report it immediately. They were genuinely worried. Bringing so much baijiu into the room could easily lead to alcohol poisoning. The boss hadn't put down his phone, gripping it tightly, ready to call an ambulance at a moment's notice.
Lin Fan and Old Zhang emerged. The waitress observed their expressions; they seemed calm, without a hint of drunkenness. She breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that they were alright.
As the door to the private room was about to close, she peeked through the gap. The young girl who had brought in the alcohol was still inside, seemingly fine as well.
The waitress was puzzled. If they were both alright, then who drank all that alcohol?
Inside the private room, the Demon God's younger sister clenched her fists. She was angry, furious, and also…
"How could this be? Are all humans this good at drinking?"
She had thoroughly researched humans. Even the heaviest drinkers could only handle three bottles at most. But this human drank even more than her and remained completely unaffected, as if he were drinking water. The most terrifying thing was that he hadn't even gone to the bathroom.
"Plan A failed. I need a Plan B. No, I have to go back and discuss this with my sister. We can't let the blood remain in his body for too long, just in case something goes wrong."
As a Demon God, she had never suffered such a setback at the hands of a human. Moreover, she felt stupid. Why did she think of the snake bite method? She had completely played herself.
"Come on… drink, I can still drink." Sun Xiao mumbled drunkenly, then collapsed back onto the table, continuing to sleep.
The Demon God's younger sister glanced at him and vanished from the room. The only evidence of Sun Xiao's feat remained in the empty bottles scattered around the room.
Much later, deep into the night, after the restaurant had seen off its last customers, the boss, remembering the guests in the private room, took a waitress and opened the door. Inside, only one person lay there; the others had vanished.
The waitress muttered, "I don't think I saw that unbelievably beautiful young girl leave."
The boss, a middle-aged man, attributed the success of his large restaurant to his hard work. On his girlfriend's 60th birthday, he had charmed her so thoroughly that she granted him control of the restaurant. So he worked diligently, hoping to expand the business further.
"Hey, wake up." The boss nudged Sun Xiao's arm. The smell of alcohol in the room was pungent; even someone who hadn't had a drop could get lightheaded from the fumes.
His biggest fear was someone dining and dashing. But he thought it unlikely. He had observed the diners' attire; they seemed well-off, unlikely to dine and dash.
"Mmm, keep drinking, I can still drink," Sun Xiao mumbled.
The boss was exasperated. How much had this young man drunk to be so out of it? There was no other way.
"Hey, it's midnight. We're closing. Wake up, stop drinking." The boss continued to shake Sun Xiao's shoulder.
Sun Xiao groggily opened his eyes. "Ah, it's so late. Time to go home and sleep." His head was pounding, as if he had been beaten.
"Hey, wait a minute. You haven't paid the bill yet. I just calculated it. The total is 88,600 yuan. With the discount, rounding down, it's just 84,000 yuan." The boss presented the bill.
At the mention of money, Sun Xiao's mind snapped to attention. He looked around the room in a daze, searching for familiar faces.
The expert was gone. The girl who had invited them to dinner had also vanished.
Suddenly, a bad feeling washed over him. No way… He realized that the expert and the girl had both left, leaving him alone to foot the bill.
"Um…" Sun Xiao stammered, "Didn't the young lady pay when she left?"
"No, we didn't even see when she left," the boss replied.
Then, the boss subtly moved, blocking the door, preventing any escape attempt. He couldn't afford to lose a night's worth of business.
Sun Xiao's face paled. Holy crap! Was this for real? He was just there for the free meal. Was it necessary to play him like this?
At this point, Sun Xiao was filled with regret. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have touched that bottle of baijiu. After drinking it, he lost consciousness, and when he woke up, he was the only one left in the room.
The boss looked at Sun Xiao suspiciously. "Don't tell me you're trying to dine and dash?"
Hearing these words, Sun Xiao frantically scratched his head. Soon, the restaurant's chefs and other waiters gathered, some of the more hot-tempered ones brandishing ladles. It seemed that if he made any sudden moves, he would be dealt with harshly.
"No way! I'm just a little dizzy from the alcohol. Eighty thousand isn't much, I can afford it. No need for so many people. Let's go pay. I'll use my card."
"But let me see the bill first."
Sun Xiao took the bill. The food itself was only a few hundred yuan. It was the alcohol… Good heavens, how much did they drink?
As he paid, Sun Xiao's heart bled. That was all the money he had painstakingly earned, equivalent to the donations he received while livestreaming Lin Fan's battles with evil creatures. Now it was all gone.
