From Joy of Life to Becoming a Saint

Chapter 3 Skill Drinking Level 1
"It's a pleasure to talk to Brother Chen. He is reasonable and straightforward."

Seeing that Chen Qiye really didn't mind, Liu Qin patted the table happily.

Then he started talking about the transaction: "Brother Chen, the other party said that although the technique is not the core of the Ye family, it is absolutely authentic. You can't buy it on the market, and you can't learn it from ordinary masters."

"As for the price...two thousand five hundred taels, no bargaining."

Chen Qiye's face suddenly became strange. Liu Qin thought he was not satisfied with the price, and hurriedly explained: "There will be a hunting competition in Lezhou in three days, and they will show up then. Brother Chen can go to the scene first to see if the goods are worth it, and then make a decision."

"And Brother Chen, this hunting competition is organized by the Ye family and supervised by the Ye family's branch in Lezhou. They probably want to recruit and train talents. I heard that Brother Chen has been practicing archery recently. If he can win the championship in this hunting competition, he will have a relationship with the Ye family."

“When the time comes, maybe I won’t have to spend money, the skills will come naturally.”

Chen Qiye had no interest in clinging to the Ye family, but he could go and take a look at the situation. If he was sure that the skills were OK and not a scam, he could spend some money to buy them.

After making the decision, Chen Qiye nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to Brother Liu."

"Okay, hahahaha, Brother Chen is really straightforward. Come on, serve the wine and food."

When the food and wine were served, Chen Qiye didn't hesitate. He hadn't eaten in the afternoon and was definitely a little hungry now.

As he was eating, he felt a soft touch on his leg, and a woman holding a pipa sat on his lap with a smile.

Her charming eyes were full of spring and her cheeks were rosy. She whispered softly, "I will play some music for you to entertain you."

Liu Qin smiled and said, "Brother Chen, don't worry. Miss Fei'er has never received guests like this before. Brother Chen, you are the first person to be close to Miss Fei'er."

There are girls in brothels who sell their art but not their bodies. However, it all depends on the value they bring. If the value of selling their body is greater than that of selling their art, then it is impossible to be clean in such a place.

Chen Qiye asked curiously, "Brother Liu, do you have such a skill? I seem to have heard that Miss Fei'er is the new courtesan of Yingchunlou. Brother Liu was able to persuade her to become the most famous courtesan in such a short time. Brother Liu's strength is not simple!"

Liu Qin waved his hands embarrassedly: "Brother Chen, you are joking. In fact, I don't have this ability yet."

"Miss Fei'er is here because of your personal charm, Brother Chen. The last time we came to Yingchun Tower together, Miss Fei'er had already admired you. I guess she took the initiative to invite you to serve Brother Chen. It was really not my arrangement."

"Oh, is it so?"

Chen Qiye reached out and lifted the chin of the beauty in his arms, and without hesitation, he embraced her slender and soft waist with his big hands.

No matter what her purpose is, just take advantage of her when she comes to you.

Fei'er lowered her head shyly: "It was indeed Fei'er who took the initiative to ask Zhang Mama to serve the young master. The young master has an extraordinary demeanor, and Fei'er admires him very much."

Chen Qiye laughed and patted her perky breast. "Okay, I'll give you a chance. Play some music for you."

Fei'er's expression paused slightly, but soon returned to normal, and she began to play the song with her bare hands.

After Chen Qiye finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

The next moment, a piece of information automatically appeared in his mind.

[Skill Drinking Experience +5]

[Skill: Drinking lv1 (5/100)]

[Drinking is a life skill. As your level increases, not only will your drinking capacity improve, but it will also bring special changes to your body.]

Chen Qiye was stunned. He knew that the system had secondary skills or other types of skills in addition to main skills, but he didn't expect that even drinking was included.

He has been working on his archery level every day for the past month without drinking a drop of alcohol. Now he realizes that drinking can also help him gain experience.

Interested, Chen Qiye raised his head and drank another glass.

[Skill Drinking Experience +5]

[Skill: Drinking Level 1 (10/100)] The experience gained increases much faster than archery.

Chen Qiye originally wanted to drink to level 2 in one go to see what would happen, but his drinking capacity couldn’t sustain it for that long. Although as his drinking experience points increased, he could clearly feel that his drinking capacity was also increasing.

But it was impossible for him to drink to level 2 in one go, and he didn't want to get drunk in a brothel.

After drinking ten cups in a row, Chen Qiye, feeling a little tipsy, waved his hand.

"Brother Liu, I have something else to do at home, so let's stop here for today!"

Liu Qin gave him a thumbs up in admiration: "Brother Chen has a good alcohol tolerance. He drank so many glasses of wine in a row and nothing happened. I admire you."

"I've had enough fun today, so let's go out together. I can just drop Brother Chen off on the way."

"Yes, please, Brother Liu."

"No, no, no, Brother Chen is the guest today, Brother Chen please."

Soon, Chen Qiye and Liu Qin, who was so drunk that he was staggering, walked out of the room together.

What Chen Qiye didn't know was that after he left, the girl Fei'er, who had just been shyly sitting in his arms and playing music, suddenly changed her expression.

She rubbed her butt which was pinched so hard that it hurt, feeling embarrassed and angry.

"lecher."

The maidservant beside her stepped forward and said, "Miss Fei'er, although this Master Chen is much better than other foolish young masters, he himself is not so upright and even a little unruly. Miss Fei'er, do you really want to choose him?"

Qin Feier heard this and sighed as she looked at the night outside the window.

"After observing for a while, I found that only Chen Qiye is interested in going to Kyoto, and he has good abilities. I'm afraid he is the only choice in Lezhou."

"I have to find a way to meet up with Miss Lili. I must have a cover."

The maid hesitated and said, "What if Master Chen gets beastly someday, wouldn't Miss Fei'er be..."

"Don't worry, I have a measure."

······
Three days later, on the outskirts of Lezhou.

A few dozen miles outside Lezhou City, there is a vast wilderness and dense forest, which is most suitable for hunting activities.

Today, the representative of the Ye family in Lezhou personally organized a hunting competition and invited family members from the entire Lezhou city to participate. Of course, if the strength is higher than the fifth rank, then regardless of family background, they can still participate.

Chen Qiye, carrying a longbow and riding a horse, appeared at the competition scene with Liu Qin.

As soon as the horses of the two men arrived, a man in blue and black clothes came forward with an account book and asked, "Please tell us the specific names of your families. You must register before participating in the competition."

Liu Qin winked at the man and said, "Brother Ye, we are old acquaintances, why are you still asking?"

"This is Brother Chen. You two can talk in private later."

The man's face lit up when he heard that, but he soon calmed down: "Brother Liu, let's talk about the other things later. We still have to follow the necessary procedures."

"Haha, okay, I understand."

Chen Qiye knew that this should be the person who wanted to trade martial arts with him.

But now he was more impressed by the status of the Ye family. To be selected for this most peripheral group, they had to be children of families with local family backgrounds. They were really picky.
