Terraria: The Digitalized Me Is Causing Chaos

Inside the tavern, Yang Tao and Linghu Chong sat on the second floor by the window. The table was laden with food. Although, in Yang Tao's eyes, the dishes were quite plain, they were a rare treat in this era.

However, looking at the various stir-fried dishes on the table, several black lines couldn't help but appear on his forehead.

Putting aside the braised beef in soy sauce and the fried peanuts, where would you find hot and sour shredded potatoes in the mid-Ming Dynasty??

Potatoes weren't introduced to China until the late Ming Dynasty, and they didn't become widely cultivated until the early Qing Dynasty. For a small tavern at the foot of Mount Hua to be able to make such dishes, isn't that a bit disrespectful to the grand restaurants in the capital?

'As expected of a TV drama world. If the Ming Dynasty in history were this wealthy, hehe, what would be left for other countries?'

However, apart from the food, Yang Tao didn't find anything else particularly strange.

"Junior Brother, let Senior Brother offer you a toast."

Saying that, he picked up the wine bowl on the table and gulped it down. Yang Tao looked at his own hand, which he had just placed on the wine bowl, and said helplessly, "Senior Brother, if you want to drink, you don't have to drag me along. Just drink by yourself."

However, Yang Tao was still very curious about the taste of Ming Dynasty wine. He glanced at the yellowish wine in the bowl, which looked like medicinal soup, picked up the bowl, and took a small sip.

"Huh? The taste is actually not bad…"

But the next moment, his vision began to blur, as if he were drunk, except that his brain was very clear, and his movements were not affected at all.

"One cup… Is this getting drunk from just one sip??"

Looking at the 'Staggering' icon on his status bar, Yang Tao's expression became very strange. This was the first time he had felt the inconvenience brought about by data.

[Staggering]

Reduces defense by 4 points

Increases critical hit rate for melee attacks by 2%

+10% melee attack speed

+10% melee attack damage

Although most of the BUFF's effects were positive buffs, it was considered a debuff due to the defense reduction attribute and could not be manually canceled.

Linghu Chong heard Yang Tao's murmur, and then saw Yang Tao's flushed cheeks and dazed eyes.

"Junior Brother… you…"

Linghu Chong had learned something new. He had wanted to mock Yang Tao when he heard him say he was drunk, but now he just wanted to slap himself. Why did he have his little junior brother drink?

"Are you alright?"

He reached out to take the wine bowl from in front of Yang Tao, but Yang Tao stopped him.

Yang Tao said without any sign of drunkenness, "Senior Brother, I'm fine."

"It's just some yellow wine. My face just turns red easily when I drink."

Turns red easily??

You look like you're about to crawl under the table at any moment. You're telling me you just turn red easily?

But before he could do anything, Yang Tao picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp, and even made a comment.

"Alas, this wine tastes good, but it's too mild. It's suitable for rich people to drink."

Linghu Chong's heart was in his throat. He had seen people who suddenly fell asleep and never woke up after drinking.

"Junior Brother, you…"

For some reason, he suddenly felt his master's good intentions.

"Drink a little less. Drinking too much can lead to mistakes. We still have to go back and tell Master about what happened this morning."

Yang Tao waved his hand, signaling Linghu Chong not to worry, and still said in a way that made him seem like he could collapse at any moment, "Don't think about that stuff when you're drinking. Don't worry, your junior brother's nickname is 'Never Gets Drunk After a Thousand Cups'."

Looking at the [Staggering] BUFF that refreshed every 4 minutes, Yang Tao felt that he should be able to drink Linghu Chong until he didn't want to drink anymore.

Picking up the wine jar on the side and filling his own bowl, he directly picked up the wine bowl and said, "Senior Brother, your junior brother has always admired you very much, cheers…"

Saying that, he drank all the yellow wine in the bowl, turning the bowl upside down to show that not a single drop remained.

Linghu Chong sat on the bench, feeling that his brain couldn't keep up, and dazedly picked up the wine bowl that Yang Tao had just filled and drank it all in one gulp.

This was the first time he had drunk with so much trepidation.

But he didn't know what he was about to face.

"As the saying goes, deep feelings, one gulp. Come, another bowl."

"Senior Brother, we are drinking and making merry in the tavern, but Master is suffering in the sect. Junior Brother feels bad just thinking about it. Come, let's all raise a toast to Master…"

Linghu Chong: "… …"

"Boss, bring us two jars of your strongest wine, lest people say we can't afford it."

"Come, Senior Brother, it's rare to be able to sit together and drink with you today. This is one of life's greatest pleasures. Come, Junior Brother will drink three bowls straight first."

For a time, the two exchanged cups and drank happily, but Linghu Chong's expression changed from worry at the beginning to astonishment, and then to surprise.

Yang Tao looked at Linghu Chong, who was already swaying, and a hint of a smile appeared in his eyes.

'Let you like to drink…'

The saying that drinking leads to mistakes is not an exaggeration when applied to Linghu Chong. I'm working so hard to cultivate every day, and you still want to slack off?

Get rolling!!

"Senior Brother, can you still drink? If you can't, let's just forget it…"

Although Yang Tao was advising Linghu Chong not to drink anymore, the tone of his voice felt extremely grating to Linghu Chong's ears.

"Drink… another… I'm… fine!"

The two were now sitting together with their arms around each other's shoulders. Yang Tao had to hold Linghu Chong up to prevent him from falling. Hearing Linghu Chong's words, Yang Tao directly picked up the wine bowl on the table and poured it in without any politeness.

'Everyone heard it, he insisted on drinking! '

Pfft…

Linghu Chong directly performed a 'scattering flowers,' completely losing consciousness.

Seeing this, Yang Tao nodded lightly, propped up Linghu Chong's body, and waved to the waiter standing at the stairs, preventing them from having an accident.

When the other party came closer, he directly put his hand into his pocket, took out a piece of silver ore, and placed it on the table with a bang.

This was a mineral from the Terraria game. Even without smelting, its purity was higher than the silver currently used in the Ming Dynasty.

He had obtained many kinds of minerals from the crates, but the amount of gold ore was somewhat small. Copper and silver were basically enough for him to use for a long time.

"Take the silver and have your boss calculate how much it's worth. If the money isn't enough, tell me. If there's extra, exchange it all for wine for me."

"Yes, sir, please wait a moment."

The waiter nodded and bowed, took the silver, and turned to run downstairs.

As for whether he would be cheated, Yang Tao didn't consider it. The Huashan Sect disciple skin buff he had wasn't just for show.

Especially in a small city at the foot of Mount Hua.

Before long, the waiter ran back upstairs, bowed, and said, "Sir, the wine you requested is ready. It's downstairs. Are you going to…?"

"Just take me there."

Yang Tao directly propped up Linghu Chong without feeling any effort, picked up the package on the table, and walked downstairs.

The package contained the medicinal herbs he had bought on this trip down the mountain. He couldn't lose that stuff.

Looking at the seven jars of wine placed in the hall, he nodded lightly and said, "Please find me a cart to help me transport it out of the city."

The waiter immediately agreed happily. This kind of thing usually came with a tip, and even without a tip, he could sneak out and be lazy, and the boss wouldn't say anything.

…

After finding a secluded place outside the city, Yang Tao took a small piece of silver from Linghu Chong's pocket and threw it to the delighted waiter, directly waving for the waiter to leave.

After glancing around to make sure no one was paying attention, he put all the wine into his backpack, carried Linghu Chong on his back, and used his qinggong to head towards Mount Hua.
