There is something wrong with my infinite flow teammates!

"Okay, let's eat!"

Following the order, Lingyin, who had long been craving for the food on the table, cheered, took out her chopsticks, picked up a piece of mouth-watering chicken covered in red oil and stuffed it into her mouth.

This girl, from the moment she sat down at the table, secretly swallowed her saliva at least several times, and her eyes were fixed on the table, unable to move away.

When the girl took the chicken in her mouth, her eyes sparkled like stars. The next second, she stuck out her pink tongue and said pitifully, "Hmm - it's spicy and numb, but so delicious! Is this Sichuan cuisine? A whole new taste!"

Everyone started picking up their chopsticks, amused by the girl's cute appearance, but at this moment, a violent coughing sound was heard beside Yukino.

Shiyu covered her mouth, her fair cheeks flushed red. The next second she opened her mouth and kept fanning air into her mouth with her hands, looking extremely uncomfortable.

Realizing her own gaffe, the girl suppressed the spiciness in her mouth and stared at Beiyuan Kong with a hissing sound: "Do the people over there really like to drink this kind of stuff?"

After saying that, he calmly picked up Lingyin's cup and gulped down most of the orange juice.

"Eh?"

Lingyin held half a piece of chicken in her mouth and stared blankly at her empty cup. She looked weak, pitiful and helpless, and she didn't dare to speak...

"You really haven't grown up yet." Beiyuan Kong glanced at her, "If that's the case, why don't you stop forcing it."

"It's not long yet..."

Shiyu was stunned for a moment, then her eyes flashed as if she thought of something, and she stared at Xueno beside her with interest. Her vague gaze seemed to be floating on her chest.

Yukino was also stunned, but she quickly reacted and didn't stop him. She just smiled helplessly.

Why do you want to turn your attention to me when you are despised by Kitahara-kun? Is it because he and I are inseparable? But compared to Shiyu, I have more experience than you in every aspect.

Then, she picked up the wine dispenser in front of Bai Xin and slowly filled Bei Yuan's empty cup, then turned to her own cup. Well, Xue No didn't interrupt. She was no longer the kind of little girl who cared about this and that.

Maybe a year ago, someone criticized Yukino for her figure, and maybe you could actually see her getting angry and fighting back. This is the confidence that comes from a woman.

Shiyu, who felt bored, curled her lips. Anyway, it was just this one cup, there wouldn't be a second time...

"Gulu gulu gulu——"

The druid girl looked down in astonishment, only to see that the wine dispenser in front of Hayato Yeshan had come to her at some point, and the clear white wine in the glass that she had just finished drinking was rising rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye...

"Ring tone!"

"Ah? Senior, are you going to pour it yourself?" Lingyin stared at him with innocent eyes, looking aggrieved that she had done something bad with good intentions. But this obviously fake look not only did not make Shiyu calm down, but made her grit her teeth.

And even though she looked pitiful, she blatantly moved the juice bottle under her feet to Ye Shan's side...

This guy must be taking revenge on me for drinking her juice!

Shiyu reached out and pinched her cheeks hard to vent her anger, then picked up a piece of twice-cooked pork with chopsticks and stuffed it into her mouth. The salty and delicious taste filled her mouth and dispelled the depression in her heart.

It tastes very delicious, much better than the one made by Kitahara Sora who only knows how to add spicy food.

Then she swept her eyes around and locked onto the red, authentic mapo tofu covered with ketchup. She picked up the spoon and scooped a spoonful into the bowl, and was about to start eating when she heard Zhuangzhong, who was watching the fun, speak.

He looked at the girl and said in pure Japanese, "Once the wine is poured into the cup, it must be drunk. This is the rule. But for beginners, I have a little trick."

"Rules? Tips?"

Shiyu slowly put down the spoon and looked at the big brother with suspicion. Even Fengjian and Kobayashi Daigo looked over curiously.

"Although the wine we have there is very spicy, you have to be mentally prepared and drink it in one gulp and it will be fine. On the contrary, you will feel warm inside, and it will be very comfortable."

"After swallowing it, take a sip of a drink or a big bite of a sweet dish. The spicy taste in your mouth will be immediately washed away, and only the fragrance and sweetness hidden in the drink will remain in your mouth."

The elder brother showed a simple smile, "Little girl, why do we all like to drink? Strong liquor is like a good woman. On the surface, she can scold you to pieces, but in her heart she is sincere and passionate. Can you understand?"

At this time, Zhang Wenbo also smiled and said, "In our words, it is a sharp tongue but a soft heart. In your words, it is a sharp tongue on the outside but a gentle heart. Good wine is like a woman, you have to taste it. What Brother Zhuang taught you is an entry-level method that can quickly adapt to the spiciness of the surface of the wine."

Zhuangzhong and Zhang Wenbo spoke seriously, and after that, he gently turned the turntable and scooped a spoonful of mapo tofu into his own bowl. Then he took a sip of wine and swept the red tofu in the bowl into his mouth with chopsticks.

Suddenly his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing an expression of extreme enjoyment.

Zhang Wenbo even picked up a piece of eel meat and exclaimed while chewing, "It's so delicious!"

Is there such a thing?

Yuji Kazami, who doesn't often drink, also fell into deep thought when he saw the two of them. Only the two social people, Daigo Kobayashi and Tsukasa Araki, had dazed looks on their faces.

Then they looked at each other silently and stuffed a mouthful of food into their mouths at the same time.

Shi Yu stared at the wine in front of her with a frown on her face. After thinking for a full ten seconds, she raised her head and sneered, "You think I'm a fool..."

"Hmph--cough cough cough cough..."

Everyone turned their heads in shock, only to see Hayato Hayama's face almost buried in the bowl, his whole body shaking violently, and almost suffocating coughs coming out of his mouth quickly.

What kind of feeling is that? The wine was already very spicy, and the tofu that was even spicier entered my mouth unexpectedly, and I accidentally inhaled it into my trachea and nasal cavity... It was so sour and refreshing.

"What the hell?"

Kitahara Sora was already uneasy. He was the first one to be fooled? I never knew you were quite adventurous, Hayama-san.

"There are actually people who believe it." Araki Tsukasa calmly stuffed a piece of Fuqi Feipian into his mouth and muttered.

"You are still too young. There are actually many strong liquors in Japan." Kobayashi Daigo held his forehead and looked like he couldn't help laughing.

Japan's Mapo Tofu is indeed sweet, but how can authentic Chinese cuisine have anything to do with tomatoes? It's crushed chili peppers, idiot! Even if you haven't eaten it, can't you see how big the peppercorns are?

Suddenly, Hayato Hayama raised his hand and was enveloped by a golden light.

The knight who had activated his invincibility had red eyes. He wiped his mouth and stared at Zhuangzhong in frustration. He could not believe that the big brother with thick eyebrows and big eyes could do such a thing.

"Wow...Hayama-senpai is so handsome."

Lingyin moved her bowl calmly, without showing any disgust on her face. She even looked at the knight enveloped in holy light and expressed sincere admiration.

It would be more convincing if it weren't for the fact that her mouth was full of food and she was still gnawing on a chicken leg.

Kitahara Sora looked at Zhuangzhong with thick eyebrows and big eyes in doubt, and suddenly remembered the first time he had dinner with them in Silent Hill and how this big brother looked when he was drunk.

Zhang Wenbo took another sip of wine, swallowed it, and took another bite of food, saying cheerfully, "Chinese people don't cheat Chinese people."

At this moment, Xueno couldn't help but burst out laughing. She had heard this sentence from the guy next to her before. After they cheated someone, they usually used this sentence to get away with it.

So, Bai Xin, who was not afraid of trouble, raised her glass again. She glanced around and her meaning was very clear.

While Hayato Hayama was looking at him in horror, Daigo Kobayashi beside him refilled his glass with a serious face.

"Uncle Xiaolin..."

"They have a rule that says 'three rounds of drinking' before you can express yourself freely, which means everyone has to toast three times together." Xiao Lin tried hard to hold back his laughter and said seriously, "Today is the captain's birthday, and we have to follow their tradition."

"Mmmmmmm!"

Suddenly, Lingyin, whose face was puffy like a hamster, raised her hand high, "I can testify to this, what the uncle said is true, three cheers!"

She gave a vague assurance: "Japanese don't cheat Japanese!"

Chapter 2 Birthday ()

After three rounds of drinks, the table started to get lively. Everyone took turns toasting Kitahara Sora, and even everyone from the Izumo team started to join in the fun.

This liquor with a concentration of over 50 degrees, according to Bei Yuankong's previous drinking capacity, he would black out after drinking half a catty at most, but now he has drunk seven or eight taels and still only feels a little tipsy.

Everyone gradually got used to the taste. At first, you might think that wine tastes bad, but after getting drunk, it tastes better and better. So far, even Shiyu has drunk about three or two bottles of it.

The girl's face was flushed, her eyes were blurred, and under the influence of alcohol, her vixen-like face was even more attractive. Even her casual smiles and frowns exuded a charm that was hard for men to resist.

As expected of her being the representative of Sese, Zhang Wenbo on the opposite side was stunned for a few seconds, and then Xiao Sisi immediately pinched his ears, causing him to scream miserably.

After desperately explaining, the guy went back to Kobayashi Daigo and the others.

Looking at the two people who were like bickering lovers, Kitahara Sora asked Bai Xin: "Are they finally together?"

"I've been fooling around since I came out of Azeroth." Bai Xin held up the wine glass, glanced at Zhang Wenbo and Xiao Sisi with disdain, and said helplessly: "What else can I do? If I don't fool around now, I may not have another chance."

Hearing this, Beiyuan Kong smiled and asked, "You guys guessed it too?"

"If you still can't guess it, something strange will happen." Bai Xin curled her lips, "The last mission was the Lord of the Rings. We had a total of four teams, including my sister. Otherwise, it would be hard to say."

"Your sister..." Beiyuan Kong was slightly stunned.

"Well, it mainly depends on my elder sister. She is already S-rank."

Bai Xin's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. He said indignantly, "The observers planned to do a big purge last time, and the conditions for wiping them out were quite harsh. In fact, their three teams might not be wiped out. It's mainly because the Koreans are too disgusting."

"Wow, it seems like you guys have run into the Koreans." Beiyuan Kong was amused, took a sip of his wine, and asked, "What's wrong with them? Are they also following the example of the Western countries in encircling and suppressing you?"

"It's not a blatant encirclement and suppression."

Zhuangzhong, who was standing next to Bai Xin, shook his head helplessly and continued, "In the last mission, all the teams were divided into the human camp and given different tasks. The Koreans came over happily at first and said they wanted to cooperate, but they ended up tripping us up in secret and trying to trick the Necromancer into giving them the S card."

Beiyuankong's eyes darkened and he asked, "Is there an S-rank in their team?"

"They have no idea." Zhuangzhong said disdainfully, "Captain Jin Zhihuan is only an A-level player. At first they wanted to cooperate honestly, but later they became greedy and overestimated the plot monster."

"Well, then what?"

Yukino raised the wine dispenser and poured wine into Kitahara's empty glass while asking, "Did they lead you to the monster's lair?"

"more or less."

Zhuangzhong nodded and continued, "The first step of our mission was to follow the plot and enter the Balrog's lair with Gandalf. But they entered the mission first and set a trap in the cave before the Balrog woke up."

"Because only Bai Ling was going to carry out the mission, they started to get itchy. They wanted to use the trap originally intended for the Fire Demon on Ling girl, and planned to take advantage of the fight between her and the Fire Demon to kill them both."

Hearing this, Yukino shook her head expressionlessly.

The reward for killing an S-level reincarnation is too tempting, and it is understandable that they are blinded by desire. After all, Koreans are extremely confident.

"Hey, guess what happened?"

After hearing what he said, Kitahara Sora's curiosity was completely aroused.

Zhuangzhong drank the wine in his glass without waiting for any questions, and continued with a smile: "They didn't understand what S-rank was at all. As a result, Bai Ling killed the Flame Demon with three strikes, and also killed all four members of the accompanying Stick Team. The battle only lasted about thirty seconds."

"Thirty seconds? Three strikes?"

Beiyuan Kong was stunned. Is Bai Ling, whom he has never met, so strong? That is the Flame Demon. In the original plot, it can only be killed by the plot. Bai Ling only used three swords to kill it?

"Well, Yiji has been observing my elder sister, and she said so herself."

Bai Xin thought of her sister's super handsome appearance and smiled faintly: "I am a sword cultivator, and my sister is a knife cultivator, and she follows the path of magic cultivation."

"The system we awakened to is actually the prehistoric cultivation system in the game that Wenbo played back then. To explain it using the levels in the game, she is probably at the 'Enlightenment Realm' now."

"Enlightenment? This word is very suitable for the power of S-level control of rules." Xueno raised her glass and clinked it with Bai Xin. After they drank it all, she asked, "What realm is there after that?"

Bai Xin thought for a moment and explained, "There are two more realms at the end, namely 'Feathering' and 'Immortality', so I think..."

"There are higher levels above S-level, right?"

Bai Xin's eyes became serious, and he looked at Bei Yuankong and nodded slowly, "So we guess that the captain of the Thunder God team is stronger than the average S-level. To be more pessimistic, maybe he has surpassed the S-level. We don't know the specific situation."

He looked solemnly at Kitahara Sora and Yukino, and suddenly sighed heavily, "The next mission will be a big challenge for Bai Ling, you..."

Big Brother didn't say anything else, but anyone who wasn't stupid could understand what he meant.

Now all members of the Night Crow team are B-level, Bai Xin is A, Bai Ling is S, and the whole team depends on them. Even for them, the next mission can be said to be a life-or-death struggle, and the Izumo team is not qualified to participate in that level of "Battle Royale" at all.

But what could they do? The Observer had never intended to let Team Izumo survive, but in the end they still managed to complete the mission.

The result was that the observer was very generous. Since you survived, he would give you another chance. The mission reward was ridiculously generous, with two S cards and 30,000 points for each person.

Sometimes, Kitahara Sora really wondered if the observers were deliberately targeting his team. From the beginning to now, almost every mission was extremely miserable and there was never any ease at all.

Even in the original novel, there were one or two relatively relaxing vacation missions. Is it just the Izumo team, or is it the same for everyone?

Zhang Wenbo pulled a few male team members to teach them how to play finger-guessing games. Lingyin and Shiyu had almost finished eating, so Xiao Sisi pulled them aside to chat. Beiyuan Kong looked around at everyone and shook his head in self-mockery, "We are indeed not qualified."

Yes, Kitahara Sora has only felt the feeling of a true demon now, and can only use a very small part of his strength. At this level, he is unable to face the next mission head-on.

Yukino was originally promoted to S-level, but that power was not obtained through her own evolution, so it was understandable that the observer took it back, after all, 'Amaterasu' was a bestowed ability.

Bei Yuankong's eyes suddenly dimmed. Whenever he thought of that girl, no matter what time it was, no matter how good his mood was, it would instantly turn gloomy.

Hui's bloodline is very special and can contain all powers. She drank the water from the Eternal Well and forcibly raised her own abilities to the same level as Amaterasu. As a result, her body could not withstand the powerful force and she turned into starlight and disappeared between heaven and earth.

If the observer had been a little more 'caring' towards Team Izumo, even if he wasn't so harsh, there would be at least two S-rank fighters in the team by now.

As for Kitahara Sora's own promotion, he has already touched the edge, but now there is no time left for him.

Bai Xin and Zhuangzhong seemed to sense Bei Yuankong's mood, and they raised their glasses silently. Seeing this, Bei Yuankong also raised his glass and clinked it with the two of them.

They already knew that Hui Zhan was dead, but they just never mentioned it. To be honest, Bai Xin liked that little sister very much, and when Xiao Sisi heard the news of Hui's death, she was said to be irritable for a while while still in the space.

As an assassin, the last time they worked together, she went to pick someone up, and then she felt itchy and ran over to touch it.
