CHAPTER 68: CHAPTER 68: ONE MAN, AS I DRINK MYSELF TO DRUNKENNESS_1

System: "Given the Host’s condition, it is recommended that the Host purchase Drunken Immortals Boxing."

"Purchase."

DING! "Host has purchased Drunken Immortals Boxing, consuming 50 Pretentiousness Points."

Chu Hao immediately began to learn it.

As an iron rod came smashing down, Chu Hao sidestepped, grabbed the thug’s wrist, and with a backhand throw, sent the man flying. That thug was a tragic sight; all his teeth were knocked out as he clutched his face in pain.

Chu Hao picked up a nearby beer and gulped down a fierce mouthful. Still, he felt unsatisfied, as if something was missing. He said to the dazed DJ girl, "Hey beautiful, play some music."

The DJ girl stammered, dumbfounded, "Uh, Brother, what... what music should I play?"

"A Man Drunk Alone."

The DJ girl hastily put on the song.

The music started to play.

Chu Hao took another drink and declared, "One man, I’m drunk! AH-DAH!!"

He rushed into the crowd and started fighting. He was incredibly fast.

Drunkenly pairing up beauties

Eyes only accompany me alone

I only wish for a reunion one day

As the song grew louder, everyone within two to three meters of Chu Hao was sent flying.

Tenderly I support the lute with the lady

Yan Qing plays joyfully in the purple bamboo forest

I am foolishly affectionate for my beloved

With all my heart and willing spirit

I’d traverse a thousand miles to seek my lord

A clear circle formed around Chu Hao as people were continuously sent flying sideways—literally flung away—while screams echoed one after another.

Tang Mo and Little Yue, who had been about to leave, witnessed Chu Hao’s stunning display of power and gaped, their faces masks of shock.

"Eight Immortals staggering left and right, Yan Qing stands alone holding up the pagoda."

"He Xiangu leans in sideways, Drunken Immortal He turning to strike."

"Moving in Flowery Steps, wildly throwing cups, Eight Immortals riding horses with dual cloud cups."

"Yan Qing stands alone, right hand tossing cups, Lǚ Dongbin’s hands like arrows."

"Drunk as Taibai tossing golden cups, Iron-Crutch Li sweeping away thousands of troops."

As Chu Hao executed Drunken Immortals Boxing, he moved with such fluidity that anyone approaching him was immediately sent flying. The scene looked like something straight out of a martial arts movie.

Defeat an emperor to fight the heavens

To seize the throne and become an immortal...

Awesome lyrics, awesome skills. *I’m* just plain awesome!

DING! "Host has successfully shown off, earning 30 Pretentiousness Points."

DING! "Host has pulled off a shocking show-off, earning 60 Pretentiousness Points."

Tang Mo and Little Yue, along with other guests, watched wide-eyed in utter amazement.

A young man exclaimed excitedly, "So cool! Matched with these epic lyrics, I feel an emperor’s majesty! Is this guy an immortal from Heaven walking the earth?"

Another man added, "More than just an imperial presence, my blood is boiling! Right now, if I were on a bicycle on the highway, I’d even dare to cut off a truck!"

"You’re the man!"

Some guests gave a thumbs-up.

A gangster from the Scorpion Club stammered, eyes wide and mouth agape, "Boss, there’s an expert here!"

Scorpion slapped him across the face, cursing, "Where did this pretentious bastard come from? Get him!"

Chu Hao landed another kick, then used the momentum for a backflip into a sweeping leg kick. The tip of his shoe brushed past the teeth of several thugs.

Chu Hao spun and landed, took another swig of beer—the move was simply perfect.

My spirit soars through heaven and earth

I write a unique saga of my emperor era

"PTOOEY! PTOOEY! What stinky shoes!"

"Damn it! This kid shoved his shoe in my mouth!"

"AAAH! Get him!"

A gang member who had been beaten stumbled back, screaming, "Boss, he fights like he’s using Drunken Fist!"

The Scorpion was furious. His men were getting beaten so badly they were crying for their parents! He roared, "Drunken Fist my ass! Grab your weapons and get him!"

Chu Hao was incredibly fierce. Whoever came at him was sent flying by a Drunken Immortals Boxing move that masterfully deflected their momentum, making them soar through the air.

Yes, they were literally sent flying.

Little Yue screamed, "A martial arts expert! He’s a true expert!"

Tang Mo exclaimed in awe, "Such powerful Eight Drunken Immortals technique!"

The scene was incredibly wild. Some customers, instead of leaving, stayed to watch and cheer.

The members of the Rose Garden instinctively backed away. There was truly no one left for Chu Hao to fight; he had taken care of everyone.

But the expressions on everyone’s faces were of utter shock, to the point where Zi Gui was so surprised she dropped her cigarette.

DING! "Host has successfully shown off, gaining 30 Pretentiousness Points."

When the song "A Man Drunk Alone" ended, Chu Hao looked around. The scene was one of utter carnage; no one was left standing. A complete disaster.

Scorpion’s legs trembled with fear as Chu Hao walked towards him.

The underworld boss was completely terrified. His hundred-plus underlings were all lying on the ground. It would have been one thing if it were a gang fight, but they had all been taken down by a single person!

He sank to his knees with a thud. "S-Sir... I was wrong."

Chu Hao kicked out, sending Scorpion flying. "What trash! Daring to attack me?"

The music stopped, and countless people cheered.

Chu Hao burped, feeling incredibly dizzy.

Zi Gui came over and asked, "Brother, are you okay?"

The boss is the boss. A woman calling me ’brother’... what can I say?

Chu Hao waved his hand dismissively. "I’m fine. I can take on a hundred more."

"Awesome!" The thugs from the Rose Society gave him a thumbs-up, their faces full of admiration.

Zi Gui was also very happy. "Clean up the place! Tonight, Brother Chu and I will drink until we drop!"

A crowd cheered.

Little Yue found herself reluctant to leave; she wanted to see how much more Chu Hao could drink.

Chu Hao had no idea how much he’d drunk. He eventually threw up. By the time he returned, the Rose Society members were completely in awe of him.

They couldn’t help but admire him; he had out-drunk everyone there.

Chu Hao vaguely remembered a beautiful girl asking for his WeChat. Her name was Lin Xinyue. Beyond that, everything was a blur, and in the end, Ya Xiao had to help him away.

「The next day.」

Chu Hao woke up feeling groggy, his head throbbing. He couldn’t remember what had happened the night before.

He walked downstairs into the bar.

A pretty waitress saw Chu Hao and hurried over. "Brother Hao, you’re awake! Would you like something to eat? I can go buy it for you."

Chu Hao said gloomily, "What happened to me yesterday? My head hurts so much."

The waitress, who was older than Chu Hao and a part-time student at a nearby university, replied, "You were incredible yesterday! You took on over a hundred people by yourself! Then, when you came back to drink, you drank dozens more under the table! All the waitstaff at our bar are completely in awe of you now."

Holy crap! Am I really that badass?

He opened the System interface and saw he had gained over one hundred and seventy additional Pretentiousness Points. He couldn’t have been happier. Showing off even while drunk... I’m truly in a league of my own!

Chu Hao rubbed his stomach. "Get me a bowl of noodles."

"Sure thing!"

The girl trotted off, as if afraid her dear Brother Hao would starve.

Some of the Rose Society members stationed at the bar saw Chu Hao and hurried over, respectfully greeting him, "Brother Hao."

Why does that sound so good?

Chu Hao asked, "Where are the others?"

The underling chuckled. "They’re still passed out! You drank them all under the table by yourself, Brother Hao! Even our Boss Violet is still out cold."

Why am I so damn awesome? Can anyone tell me?

Ya Xiao appeared, smiling. "Ah-Hao, are you feeling any better?"

Chu Hao shook his head. "Sister Ya Xiao, are you really... a lesbian?"
