Yu Daohén felt a sense of helplessness, realizing he had a true little glutton.
Zhang Xiaoqiang grinned and asked, "Master Yu, since everyone's here, why don't we have a few drinks?"
Yu Daohén glanced at Su Lai's feet and saw five cases of beer already placed there. He shook his head helplessly, "It seems I have no choice but to drink today."
Zhang Xiaoqiang chuckled, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's drink!"
Su Lai beside him chimed in, "Let's drink."
Da Hu nodded in agreement, "Let's drink."
Yu Daohén looked at the three of them. With the atmosphere already set, not drinking was impossible. "Let's drink!"
The three took out their drinks, and Yu Daohén went to the kitchen to prepare some accompanying snacks, peanuts and cucumber salad. The four of them began to drink.
As the saying goes, when one has worries, alcohol goes down faster. The four of them drank until half-past seven in the evening.
After finishing the first four cases, they bought four more. After several rounds, they were all feeling quite tipsy.
Su Lai took out a few cigarettes and offered them to Zhang Xiaoqiang and Da Hu, then handed one to Yu Daohén.
Yu Daohén looked at the cigarette Su Lai offered, "What's so good about this stuff?"
Su Lai grinned and explained, "Master Yu, these cigarettes, along with the alcohol, are good things. Smoking a cigarette can relieve worries, ease troubles, and solve life's little difficulties."
Yu Daohén was somewhat speechless. After all, he had received nine years of compulsory education, "Come on, this stuff just gets you high on nicotine."
"Who cares about getting high? Here, let me light it for you," Su Lai said, pulling out a lighter and lighting the cigarette.
Yu Daohén took a curious puff and almost choked to death.
Seeing Yu Daohén's reaction, the other three burst into laughter.
Perhaps it was a psychological effect, or perhaps it was the nicotine rush, but Yu Daohén managed to finish the entire cigarette, and felt a significant sense of relaxation.
When people drink too much, they tend to talk more. The four of them drank and boasted.
Da Hu, holding his wine glass, took a sip and said, "Ah, I heard there's been some news in the martial world recently."
Zhang Xiaoqiang picked up a peanut and put it in his mouth, asking curiously, "What news?"
Da Hu put on a mysterious expression, "A treasure that can increase a person's luck has suddenly appeared."
Upon hearing this, Su Lai immediately became agitated, "Holy cow, is that true? Tell me more!"
Yu Daohén and Zhang Xiaoqiang found Su Lai's excited reaction amusing.
For a gambler, this was practically a cheat code.
Especially for a sucker like Su Lai, who lost every bet, it was something he dreamed of.
Da Hu began to explain, "A few days ago, I heard from an elder in my family that a treasure suddenly appeared in a village in the northeast. According to rumors, the treasure can increase one's luck, but it's just a rumor, and I don't know if it's true."
Yu Daohén and Zhang Xiaoqiang exchanged glances. Both of them found it somewhat unreliable.
While formations and arrangements that could increase luck did exist, a treasure like this was unheard of.
Su Lai, however, didn't care if the news was true or false; his eyes were already shining.
Yu Daohén shook his head, "I don't think it's very reliable..."
Before Yu Daohén could finish, Su Lai slammed his hand on the table, "It's decided then. We're setting off tomorrow to find the treasure."
Seeing Su Lai's excitement, Yu Daohén tried to stop him, "Old Su, don't get too excited. We don't even know if this news is true. We should investigate first."
Su Lai waved his hand, clearly not listening to Yu Daohén, "No need to say more. I, Su Lai, must have this treasure."
Yu Daohén sighed and looked at Zhang Xiaoqiang.
Zhang Xiaoqiang shook his head helplessly, "It's no use. This guy is already in a frenzy. Nothing you say will matter. But I am curious about what this treasure is."
Seeing Zhang Xiaoqiang's tone, Yu Daohén realized he also wanted to go and see.
Da Hu nodded with some curiosity, "Honestly, I'm also curious if such a treasure truly exists in this world."
Su Lai saw that both of them were interested and looked at Yu Daohén, his tone suddenly becoming serious, "Master Yu, have you considered the consequences if this treasure can truly increase one's luck and falls into the hands of someone with ill intentions?"
Yu Daohén was full of speechlessness, "Come on, I think the one with ill intentions is you. Besides, when did you, Old Su, become so righteous?"
Su Lai was exposed on the spot, his face full of embarrassment. He patted his chest, "Although I can't say I'm righteous, such a treasure must not fall into the hands of bad people. I'd rather sacrifice myself and bear this damned luck alone."
Yu Daohén: "..."
Zhang Xiaoqiang: "..."
Da Hu: "..."
Where was their shame?
Only this guy could describe shamelessness so elegantly.
Su Lai looked at Yu Daohén excitedly, as if two hundred million yuan were already in his hands, "Master Yu, aren't you even a little bit curious? Even just a tiny bit."
Yu Daohén swallowed. He was certain that if he didn't agree, this fellow would lose his appetite and sleep.
However, to be honest, he was indeed curious about what this treasure that could increase luck was. Since he had nothing else to do, he nodded in agreement.
"We can go, but if we encounter any danger, we must retreat immediately."
Su Lai quickly nodded in agreement, "As long as I can go, I'll do anything."
Yu Daohén shook his head helplessly. At this point, even if you asked him to eat shit, he would probably ask if it was dry or wet.
