Chapter 2904 - 37: Drunken Truths!

"Lord Jia Yan, have you recovered from your injury and returned?"

"How’s your injury?"

"Haha, judging by Master’s complexion, the injury should be mostly healed, congratulations, Master."

A few Stellar level existences were in the foggy area not far from where Jia Yan was. When Jia Yan pushed open the door to his foggy ’room,’ they sensed it.

So, one by one, they flew out of their foggy rooms to congratulate Jia Yan.

And it wasn’t just them; they were merely the first batch of Strong Ones to congratulate him.

Next, several Galaxy level beings heard of Jia Yan’s return, as well as the Star River Middle Stage comrades with the same strength title as Jia Yan, all rushed to the scene.

"Congratulations, Jia Yan, you managed to suppress the injury to such an extent."

"Haha, if that Otto knew your injury was only this minor, he would surely be upset."

"Exactly, Mister Jia Yan, it is apparent you have some talent in healing, Otto will definitely be infuriated upon seeing this."

"Hehe, Mister Jia Yan, the last battle was very satisfying for us, so many days have passed, yet the enemy didn’t dare to provoke us even once."

...

Jia Yan looked at the comrades that came to him, feeling a slight rise of goodwill from within.

No matter if they’re Strong Ones or not, friends who walked out of the same trench are purer and their bonds deeper.

At this moment, he felt that his comrades truly cared about him.

"Thank you all for your concern, I’m mostly fine now. Fighting might still be difficult, but it won’t take long for me to recover to at least ninety percent combat power. If they come again, I can help everyone; for now, please give it your best effort."

Jia Yan spoke sincerely to his comrades.

Actually, his injury was already about ninety percent healed, and if there were to be a fight, he could display combat power around that level, but he wouldn’t reveal his entire hand.

Future recovery to ninety percent combat power, given the current situation, aligns well with the perception of his injury.

"How can you say such a thing? Not to mention the enemy doesn’t dare act rashly now. Even if they came, we would certainly go all out, no pressure should be solely on you."

"Right, Mister Jia Yan, saying that underestimates us a bit, hahaha, you should be punished by going to our base’s distillery and drink thousands of tons of Strong One’s Drink with us."

"Exactly, exactly. I’ve heard Mister Jia Yan hasn’t drunk much of Strong One’s Drink; is your alcohol tolerance lacking? Let’s go, let’s drink and see."

A group of Strong Ones, respectful and a bit friendly, approached Jia Yan.

Afterward, Jia Yan truly agreed, joining a group of Galaxy level and several Stellar level existences at an area named ’distillery’ within the foggy zone, sharing some so-called ’Strong One’s Drink’ with them.

This Strong One’s Drink was actually manufactured from poisons that, to ordinary beings, are absolutely deadly. Yet these poisons have merely a minor narcotic effect on Strong Ones, akin to Earth people drinking wine, occasionally making them slightly dizzy.

Of course, if Strong Ones don’t like it, a wave of Brainwave Power could completely remove these feelings.

But the distillery’s drinks are not cheap; using Brainwave Power to eliminate the effect would be wasteful, so nobody does that, moreover genuinely seeking intoxication can be a good way for Strong Ones to alleviate the pressure of leveling up.

Thus, even Jia Yan got a bit drunk this time, feeling quite dizzy.

"Haha, Lord Jia Yan, who would have thought that though you look rather slim, you can drink so much."

"Hahaha, though a Star River Middle Stage existence drinks more than us is normal, but I didn’t expect you to outdrink all of us."

"Impressive, this is despite not drinking much, if you trained for some time, the title of drink king would surely be yours."

"Enough talking, cheers!"

A group of beings, strong or not, gathered together, drinking till intoxicated.

"I didn’t expect this Strong One’s Drink to be fun, I really should drink more next time."

Jia Yan was a bit drunk too, even enjoying the feeling.

In other places, he drank various kinds of Strong One’s Drink, but those felt bad, like drinking poison, uninteresting.

But this time, the drink was just right. Though it was poison to weaker beings, it contained a bit of Energy. Even if not much, it was still a gain, providing Strong Ones a comfortable feeling, followed by a pleasantly dizzy sensation, extremely gratifying.

No wonder the Strong Ones within the Insect Clan’s Domain enjoy drinking.

"Hahaha, I can sense that within our power, another drink king is about to emerge."

"Mister Jia Yan, you surely knew this, the drinks in our power are made with a unique formula of the Insect Clan’s Domain, personally approved and overseen by the Queen. Originally in the Central Milky Way Region, she planned to do business with this Strong One’s Drink, but it hasn’t started. So, if you find it tasty, it’s natural. Many of us stay within the Insect Queen’s Power partly for the free drinks."

"Hey, you said quite a bit, including yourself, didn’t you? Hahaha, though I admit I partly remain in the Queen’s Power for the drinks too, not to mention it’s quite nice here, large possibilities for future progress, the Queen’s Talent is amazing, I believe she can advance to High-rank Galaxy Level, a great reliance in the future."

"Exactly, exactly, Mister Jia Yan, don’t mind how the Queen’s Power appears now, the future is promising. And as far as I know, that Lord Black Sheep is close to becoming a Territory Master, in at most twenty years, future double Territory Masters... incredible."

"Shhh... ahem, Mister Jia Yan, don’t listen to his nonsense, Lord Black Sheep might not be that quick. Overall, I’ve heard there’s some personal conflict between you and Lord Black Sheep, I think there’s some misunderstanding. I have some personal connection with Lord Black Sheep, let me speak to him, so you can resolve this with a smile, wouldn’t that be quicker? Lord Black Sheep is a famous drink king too, you may actually have a common topic."

Among the drunken Strong Ones, some Galaxy level beings, dragging their conversation, brought up the animosity between Jia Yan and Black Sheep.

One spoke about Black Sheep as though worshipping him, but others knew of Jia Yan’s conflict with Black Sheep and hurriedly urged him not to speak.

Jia Yan listened to their words, silent for a moment.

Then, he shook his head at the enthusiastic few.

"Everyone, there’s likely no way to reconcile between me and Black Sheep. In fact, I came to the Insect Queen’s Power purely for the Queen’s personal charm, though I suppose many of us did. But for some reason, that Black Sheep had enmity towards me upon first arrival, repeatedly mocking, sabotaging, even directly trying to attack me; put yourselves in my shoes, would you think there’s any way to resolve this animosity? Even if I wanted, he surely wouldn’t agree."

He felt a bit dizzy too, then smiled, thinking he might as well clarify his views today.

"Brother, you just mentioned, Black Sheep may achieve Territory Master within twenty years? I actually believe it, Black Sheep’s talent is good, twenty years to achieve Territory Master is possible. But..."

Jia Yan gave a confident smile.

Then, taking advantage of the alcohol, he continued with the remaining words...
