Chapter 458: Loopholes in the Rules
It is a rare situation where Brandon’s mind turns faster than Pete’s.
Perhaps because he was so dizzy from the smell in the Heart of Iron Bar, Pate didn't realize what Brandon meant for a while:
"Participate in the competition. Why?”
“We don’t need a lot of Stone Castle spirits for a year, right?”
Brandon said carelessly:
“That’s what I think.”
“Those muscular guys don’t bother to talk to us because they think we are irrelevant and don’t respect us at all.”< br>
"In this case, if we can kill everyone else in their game, wouldn't that be a sign of respect?"
Pate's eyes lit up.
"It seems...it's true!"
His previous thoughts had not changed.
Dealing with dwarves is completely different from dealing with humans or goblins.
Human beings are polite and have etiquette.
Although the goblins are a bit cunning, they have learned a lot from humans. As long as the benefits are enough, they will become extremely obedient and smooth.
Not so with dwarves.
They have vulgar manners, bad tempers, and a deep-rooted sense of family honor.
While respecting the strong, they also look down upon the weak.
This can be seen just from the system of dwarf cards.
Those "unqualified" bloodline descendants will not even have the chance to enjoy even a little bit of the shadow of the family, and will be directly kicked out of the family and left to fend for themselves.
However, the dwarves don't think there is anything wrong with their family system, and they are still thinking about finding ways to prove themselves every day, win the respect of other dwarves, and return to the family.
To put it bluntly.
These guys are tough but not soft.
Talking and communicating with them properly will only make the dwarves think that you are a complete softie, look down on you, and are too lazy to care about you.
If you want to communicate normally with dwarves, you must first convince them!
Whether you use force or drink, you just want to let them understand that you are stronger than them!
"This trick of participating in the Wine Warrior Competition to win respect...seems like it really works?"
...
As soon as the idea was opened, Peter immediately perfected Brandon. plan.
Because there is a "loophole" in Brandon's plan that must be solved.
That is - Peter doesn't think any of them are particularly good at drinking!
Pate knew about Gale's drinking capacity.
He is the same as him. If you drink a strong drink like Stone Castle Spirits, you will definitely be dead.
Miranda gets drunk when she touches wine.
Brandon is stronger, but in terms of spirits, he is definitely not as good as these dwarves who have alcohol flowing in their veins.
As for Lena, although her family owned a tavern, Peter had never seen her drink several times.
He once heard Reina say that in the past, when Reina was serving wine to the guests, she would drink a glass and a half with them to liven up the atmosphere, and that was it.
It doesn’t sound like he’s very good at drinking either.
Anyway.
Since he couldn't win against those dwarves by drinking, Peter had to find another way.
The rules of "Big Talk Dice" are very simple.
Its loopholes are also very obvious!
Because it is theoretically possible to defeat all enemies and win without drinking a drop of wine.
No matter who claims to open the dice clock to see the results, the loser will drink in the end.
In other words.
As long as the contestant can guarantee that he will win until the end and not lose a single game, then he can stay away from alcohol!
......
Walking around the circular platform of the stone castle, Peter finally found a cave tavern called "Happy Hour Bar". The structure inside was similar to that of "Heart of Iron and Stone" Bar” is much the same.
Pate turned on the magical state of [The Secret of All Things] and stared at the defenders and challengers in the ongoing competition. After watching for a while, he felt confident. This time, the defending side was not very lucky.
After losing three games in a row, he drank three large glasses of Shibao liquor. His body was like a ball of mud, and he slid directly under the table and fell asleep.
The bartender shouted loudly and enlivened the atmosphere:
"A new champion has been born!"
"Who is the most powerful bastard in this bar! Who is A true wine warrior!”
“Where is the next challenger?”
"We need a real warrior to kill this bastard!"
"The registration fee is only 1 gold coin. If you win the Wine Warrior, you can drink as much as you want!"
Short People responded to the bartender's shouts, tapping their fists and wine glasses rhythmically on the stone table, making all kinds of noises.
"Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!"
The challenger turned into a champion, even more excited. He simply jumped on the table and danced an extremely vulgar war dance.
"Who dares to challenge me!"
"I will drink you all down!!!"
Pate raised his hand without hesitation and stepped forward.
“I’ll challenge you!”
The tavern that had been noisy before was quiet for a moment.
The dwarves were surprised - there was a human challenger in their Brew Warrior competition!
It is a rare thing to see humans in Stone Castle, and it is even rarer for them to dare to come to participate in the competition!
The next moment.
The noise erupted even more enthusiastically!
“Thin dog! Hemp pole!”
"Soft coward!"
"Kill him! He's a piece of shit!"
The drunken dwarves frantically knocked on anything that could make a sound, and the sound was deafening. .
In some ways, dwarves look down on humans.
They dislike the fact that humans are not strong enough and look like thin, thin dogs;
He is so tall, but he is as weak as a stick, without a strong body.
Also, humans like to weigh the pros and cons when facing danger, and often give in when they are unsure of things. This is also a trait despised by dwarves.
Pate's appearance almost perfectly fits the stereotype of dwarves and is extremely unpleasant.
Therefore, when Pete announced his intention to sign up for the challenge, he immediately became the focus of the bar!
……
A large glass full of Stone Castle liquor was slammed on the table.
Some mellow wine spilled out.
Pate felt a little dizzy just by smelling the smell. He couldn't even imagine what would happen after drinking this cup - no, it should be said that this "bucket" of wine was finished.
If he really had to compete with dwarves for drinking in a normal way, he would probably die without knowing how.
The two sides are not opponents at the same level of strength at all.
In order to win the respect of the dwarves by participating in the competition, Peter's real idea is - he wants to cheat!
Two dice clocks, each with five dice.
After shaking the dice violently, Peter opened the dice clock and took a look:
2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6.
A rather dangerous result.
Not having a big enough "point", normally speaking, means not having enough confidence to call out a bigger number.
The opponent—the dwarf who had just become the defender came up aggressively and shouted an oppressive prediction:
“Four fives!”
…
One more update!
