I Just Won't Play By The Book

That’s right. Don’t tell me you don’t know how to play the drinking game.” Shi Fenglan said eagerly.

“Yes… I do know a little, but..”

“No buts! If you want this Yu Ling Long, you have to beat me with the game. Otherwise, don’t even think about it.”

At this time, Yu Manwen walked in from outside and said to Shi Fenglan, “As the Order Master, it’s not good for you to play such a vulgar game with a disciple from another order.”

“What does it matter? We’re just trying to have some fun.” After saying that, Shi Fenglan looked at Jiang Beiran, “How about it? Are you in or not? I’m a woman of my word. If you don’t win against me in a game, don’t even think about taking Yu Ling Long away.

“If that’s the case, how do we decide who’s the winner?"

“Ha!” Hearing that Jiang Beiran actually agreed, Yu Manwen hurriedly said, “Beiran, why are you also messing around with Order Master! You… Wuwuwuwuwuwu.” Just as Yu Manwen was still speaking, Shi Fenglan covered her mouth.

Shi Fenglan then looked at Jiang Beiran and shouted, “Awesome! You little fellow is really interesting. The rules are very simple. Whoever gets drunk first will lose!”

Finger game or finger spoof and drinking alcohol were considered to be bound together. Therefore, when Jiang Beiran heard that they were going to drink, he was not surprised at all. He directly agreed, “Then we will do as you said.”

Okay, let’s go outside and play!” After saying that, Shi Fenglan dragged the helpless Yu Manwen out of the room.

One table, two chairs, one jar of fine wine, two cups. The preparation required or playing drinking game was simple and unflashy.

“Sigh..

Looking at the two people who had already sat at the “wine table,” Yu Manwen sighed. She did not known how things had developed to this point.

After pouring herself a cup of wine, Shi Fenglan took out a rosewood pipe from her cleavage under Jiang Beiran’s shocked gaze.

She skillfully lit it and took a deep breath. Shi Fenglan exhaled a cloud of smoke and said, “You have to be careful. I’m very good at this.”

“Wow..” looking at Shi Fenglan’s intoxicated expression, Jiang Beiran couldn’t help but exclaim.

“Although I smoke, drink, and have tattoos, I’m a good Order Master.”

Outside the Mirror Garden, Liu Zijin, Eang Qjuyao, and the three Yu sisters were walking towards the Mirror Garden together. They were still mumbling.

“Ah! Sister Zijin, I can’t practice this Skimming Swallow no matter how hard I try. Can you give me some pointers?”

“Oh! You mean Skimming Swallow? I'm not very good at this move. Enforcer Lin also said that this move is very difficult to practice.”

“Wu, wu, wu, what should I do then? Wu, wu, wu. I’ll definitely be punished in the next test. Wu, wu, wu.”

“Don’t worry, don’t worry. There will definitely be a way.”

“Eh? Isn’t this the Mirror Garden? I didn’t expect that we would wander into here. Why don’t we go in and ask the enforcer?”

“Okay, that’s a good idea”.

...

After a scene of dialogue, Liu Zijin and the others came to the door of the Mirror Garden “accidentally” and looked around together.

After a moment, the five of them showed disappointed expressions and then retreated a hundred meters away without anyone noticing.

“What’s going on? Why hasn’t Brother Jiang come out yet?” Yu Guishui asked in puzzlement.

Yu Guimiao nodded after listening to her. “It’s been almost two hours. What on Earth is senior brother doing inside?”

“Could he have left from another place?” Yu Guizhui guessed.

Liu Zijin shook her head. “It shouldn’t be. The disciples from other orders can only access the Mirror Garden through the main gate. This is the rule.”

Seeing the other four were a little disheartened, Fang Qiuyao quickly cheered them on. “Maybe Brother Jiang really has something important to do. Come on, let’s hang in there for a while longer. Brother Jiang will come out soon. Also, Miao Miao, your lines are getting better.”

“Hehe, is that so.” Yu Guimiao was a little embarrassed as she stroked her hair.

“I can’t compete with the other sisters. I’ll be more attentive next time.”

“Okay, then let’s do it again.”

...

“Two!”

“Five!”

“Order Master, please drink” Jiang Beiran said as he put away one of his fingers.

“Humph, don’t worry, I'll drink!”

“Again!"

After finishing the cup of sugarcane wine, Shi Fenglan stepped on the chair with her right foot and rolled up the long sleeve of her right hand, revealing her tattoo on the arm.

The rules of finger spoof were actually very simple. Both parties stretched out one hand at the same time. Then, they used their clenched fists and stretched out one to five fingers to represent the numbers from zero to five.

At the same time, they shouted the numbers from zero to ten. If the numbers represented by the fingers of both parties were the same as the numbers shouted by a person, then that person would be considered to have won this fist.

A simple example would be, if Jiang Beiran had extended three fingers in this round and shouted seven, while Shi Fenglan had extended four fingers and shouted six. Because the number of fingers added together was seven, Jiang Beiran, who had shouted seven, had won.

Under such simple rules, even ordinary people would immediately familiarize themselves with the rules after playing a few rounds. That was why playing finger spoof had quickly become popular all over the country, becoming the best game when drinking.

Jiang Beiran originally thought that since Order Master Shi loved to drink, she must be an expert in this game. At least she would know play this game skillfully.

But who would have thought that this Order Master had no skill at all, but she still wanted to play drinking game. Things gone worst after she drank more wine. She completely ignored the basic logic while playing.

For example, Shi Fenglan herself shouted “eight”, but she only stretched out one finger. Even if Jiang Beiran stretched out five fingers, it didn’t add up to eight. She was literally punishing herself so she could drink even more.

“Gulp… gulp..”

After another cup of sugarcane wine was finished, Shi Fenglan skillfully picked up the wine jar and was about to pour another cup, but she found that there was not a drop in it.

“Manwen, go and get another jar of wine!” Shi Fenglan shouted with her eyes narrowed.

“Order Master, let’s call it a day. You’ve already drunk three jars.” After saying that, Yu Manwen signaled Jiang Beiran with her eyes, asking him to help persuade her.

Jiang Beiran was about to speak when he saw three options appear in front of him.

[ Option 1: Help persuade Shi Fenglan to call it a day. Reward for completion: Tian Lun Finger (earth grade low tier)

[Option 2: Quickly get Shi Fenglan drunk. Reward for completion: Single Dragon Golden Rod (black grade low tier)]

[ Option 3: Keep playing with Shi Fenglan. Reward for completion: Random Basic Attribute Points+1]

“F*ck… Why give me an earth grade item?

Jiang Beiran had originally wanted to help Yu Manwen to stop Shi Fenglan, but now..

Jiang Beiran suddenly stood up, took out a bottle of pear blossom wine from his storage ring, placed it on the table, and shouted, “Come, Order Master, let’s continue!”
