Battle Royale of the Sinners Chapter 80

Chapter 80
Chapter 80 – JW Swing
At night . In the middle of Tong's courtyard .
In order to relieve his stress, Tong brought out a barrel of beer to drink it alone .
Constant killing wore down his mentality . The battle of Anping last year, the purge of the nobles, and merchant rebel slaughtering gave him a bad aftertaste . Sometimes he had a nightmare about the past events and was forced to wake up to break away from the dream .
The event today gave Tong a severe headache . He had Hua Shi scan him with her skill, but she could not detect anything unusual . Yet, his headache persisted, and his eyes were also somewhat burning .
He also remembered that his [Plot Armor] skill should have protected him from all disease, but he could not explain about this phenomenon which was happening to him . He tried to activate his regeneration skill, but the pain still remained .
Tong believed that he was mentally exhausted, so he took a break from the espionage management lesson from Lu Zhi for today .
Tong never minded the physical tiredness, but he did not like it when his spirit was being worn down by his past .
The 100 liters of beer was emptied in a few hours . It was already midnight .
After Tong downed a barrel of beer alone, he was a bit tipsy as the [Plot Armor] skill did not work when he voluntarily drank any alcohol .
Because he was drunk, he missed a few beverages at his previous life .
"Come to think of it . Before I died the first time, I haven't finished my black label yet . "
Tong missed his favorite whiskey in his previous life . It was a well-known brand that Tong could afford to buy it every month as it cost him only 40-50 USD for a liter bottle .
A funny inspiration awoke within his mind . It would be nice if he could recreate such a drink in this era with his [Create Food] skill .
With such thought, Tong extended his hand and pointed it to the empty barrel next to him .
"[Create Food]"
*BZZ* *BZZ*
[Error . This skill can only create food or food ingredient that you have eaten . You cannot create water or liquid substance directly . ]
System rang a buzzing sound and told him that he could not use it this way . Yet Tong laughed out merrily the moment he heard the system said "directly" .
"Well, thanks for the pointer . If I can't create it directly, then how about this?"
Tong recollected his thought and tried to think about a food that he had eaten in his previous life . He recalled the time when he was a rowdy middle-schooler . He and his friends used to act like dumb brats and cooked fried vegetables and noodles with his stolen whiskey . It tasted awful, but it was a good memory .
"I think it was my father's 'Swing'? I'll try it! [Create Food]!"
*WINK*
Light flashed and brown water poured from his extended palm into the empty beer barrel . Within a few seconds, the barrel was filled by one-tenth . The skill was still at level two, so he could only create 10 liters of liquid at a time .
The unique aroma of JW Swing whiskey piqued his nose . It was a nostalgia smell that he yearned for .
"MUAHAHAHAHA!! I DID IT!! A NEW DISCOVERY TO BOOT!! HAHAHAHA!!"
Tong screamed in laughter like a lunatic in the dead of the night . Dozens of servants woke up in panic and thought that something had happened to Tong . They took their weapons and rushed out to see him, only to find out that he was acting weird all alone .
Hua Shi also woke up from the laughing noise . She straddled toward him and kicked away his chair which made Tong stumbled and fell on the ground as a result .
"Pipe it down! What time do you think it is? I was having a good sleep! You know that my job is tiring, right? I need a lot of rest and …"
Hua Shi had planned to give Tong a good scolding, but she came to a pause as she caught a whiff of a familiar aroma from the barrel .
At first, she thought it was the beer that Tong had created using the magic cooking utensil . However, the beer did not have this unique scent .
"Why am I feeling that I have a déjà vu? What did you create this time?"
"Instead of asking me, why don't you try it yourself?"
The face of Hua Shi turned solemn . She took Tong's cup and stepped toward the barrel . She scooped up the content and brought it to her mouth .
Once it reached inside her mouth, she opened her eyes wide in shock . The taste was something that only the reincarnators from the 21st century knew about .
"You … how did you? Was it the cooking utensil?"
Tong puffed his chest and smirked back at Hua Shi .
"I'll tell you tomorrow after the morning assembly . For now, let's send back the servants and our bodyguards . I've to clean up this mess, too . "
…
…
The next day .
After the morning assembly in the government hall with all officials was over, Tong asked his master again for a day off today . He had an important business to discuss with Hua Shi .
Lu Zhi allowed it because he thought that Tong and Hua Shi were husband and wife, so he should spare a bit of time for the youths the spend together . Thus, he left Tong and Hua Shi alone in the government hall .
With no one around, Hua Shi started questioning Tong .
"Any explanation of yesterday? How did you get that?"
Tong smiled as he brought out an empty barrel from his inventory, then he cast the skill again .
"[Create Food]!"
Another 10 liters of JWS whiskey was poured into the barrel, while Hua Shi stared at Tong in astonishment .
"Holy Sweeting Buddha! That skill is HAX! Can you show me the skill menu again?"
…

…
Hua Shi frowned after she read the skill over and over again . It was clearly stated that he could only create food . How come he could create a liquid .
"I know what you are thinking . It's an ingredient from one of the foods I ate in my previous life . "
"You … what had you eaten? Why did I not know that there is something that used a whiskey to cook a food?"
"Oh, please . I grew up in Asia . It's the land of food, you know? There are many dishes that used wine and other alcohol as part of the ingredients . A bunches of street food even used it . Where were you in your last life, North-Korea?"
Hua Shi smiled wryly . She was narrow-minded when it came to food . At the latter part of her life, she switched to cannibalism and forgot about normal food .
"Anyway, what I want to talk to you is not about food or this whiskey . There is something more important that I need your help with . "
Tong paused and gazed to Hua Shi . He saw her every day so he did not notice this before . She became prettier as she continued to grow up .
The first time he encountered her, she was just an average teenage girl in his eyes . However, the Hua Shi in front of him now was like an innocent fairy . If Tong had never known about her before, he might think that she was a daughter of a goddess .
Noticing Tong's passionate gaze, Hua Shi smirked .
"What's wrong? Are you horny? We can do it here right now too, you know?"
Tong snapped out of the trance and facepalmed himself . If only she kept her mouth shut, he would probably fall head over heel for her ages ago .
"Never mind that . I'll get straight to the point . I'm going to cancel all of your one-night tickets from now on . I want us to live in the same room starting from today, so the tickets aren't needed anymore . I'll tell my father to invite your parents over ASAP, so we can get married . After that, I have a favor that I-"
Before Tong could finish his sentences and get into his main point, his lips were covered by Hua Shi's mouth . Because she thought that Tong was proposing to her, she kissed him .
However, she did not hear what Tong really wanted .
'I just wanted to level-grind my [Create Food] skill by dual-cultivating every day . It feels wrong for doing it over and over again and risked getting her pregnant before we get married . Oh well, I'll explain it to her on the bed . '
Tong closed his eyes and indulged into the kiss .
…
Hua Shi moved into Tong's room since that day . She found out later that Tong wanted to grind his skill EXP by dual-cultivating . She was so mad that she did not talk to Tong for a week after that .
However, her perverseness and her desire outweighed her temperament . She forgave Tong moved into his room as he had asked .
After a while, Tong had to arrange her working days into 3 days a week instead of 6 because she always got exhausted from his all-nighter EXP grinding .
A few months later, Hua Shi no longer exhausted from the night activities as she had more stamina from the constant work-out . The role was switched and it became Tong who was tired out from the night routine . However, that was another story for another time .
