Iron Hammer's drinking capacity
Sigh, something's not right.
Lin Yuan suddenly felt that something was off.
Four Summoned Beasts; A Li is taking remedial classes, Ghost is working overtime, A Lan is staying home, but there's still one person missing.
Where did Tie Chui go!
"A Lan, do you know what Tie Chui has been up to these past two days?" Lin Yuan asked.
"He's at the Blacksmith Association." A Lan seemed to know everything.
Before Lin Yuan's question had even left his lips, A Lan's answer was already on the tip of their tongue.
"Tie Chui has joined the Blacksmith Association. He is a Grandmaster-level blacksmith, the only one in the entire Xia Kingdom."
"He was granted the status of Honorary Elder as soon as he joined the association."
"For the past two days, blacksmith masters from all over the country have come to pay their respects, hoping to get some pointers from Tie Chui."
"That's great." Lin Yuan was excited.
"There's finally a normal person on the team."
"He actually knows how to join an organization."
Up until now, Lin Yuan had found that apart from his love for a little drink, Tie Chui was perfect in every other aspect.
But what A Lan said next dealt Lin Yuan a heavy blow.
"Tie Chui's reputation as a Grandmaster is a bit too loud, and people from all over are coming to see him."
"The number of people who want to become Tie Chui's apprentice is countless."
"Tie Chui was getting very annoyed by these people, so he came up with a solution."
"Tie Chui organized a beer-drinking contest."
"As long as someone can beat Tie Chui in the beer-drinking contest, Tie Chui will take them as an apprentice."
"The beer used for the contest is all sponsored by the Blacksmith Association, so Tie Chui has been busy with the contest for the past two days."
Lin Yuan: ...
Lin Yuan could be certain of one thing:
Tie Chui definitely didn't organize the beer-drinking contest because he was annoyed by these people; he just purely wanted to drink to his heart's content.
At this very moment, at the entrance of the Blacksmith Association, on a massive plaza three hundred meters long and two hundred meters wide, tents of all sizes were lined up.
People inside the tents were holding half-meter-tall beer mugs, chugging beer into their mouths.
To become a blacksmith, one must first have higher strength attributes than the average person, and their physical fitness from years of smithing is also excellent.
To them, beer is just like water; ten or eight mugs are a piece of cake.
When these people who came to pay their respects heard that Tie Chui was going to hold a beer-drinking contest, they all thought Tie Chui was crazy.
If hundreds of people were to beat Tie Chui in the contest, would Tie Chui really take them all in?
Regarding this, Tie Chui made a guarantee:
As long as someone could beat him, he would take them all in; if it really didn't work out, he would just open a training school.
With this guarantee, the contest began in full swing.
The beer used for the competition was high-alcohol wheat beer, which Tie Chui had decided on after tasting dozens of different kinds.
There were 3,227 blacksmiths participating in the contest, so many that the plaza couldn't even hold them all.
However, the Blacksmith Association had a solution: they set up three hundred tents, with specialized personnel responsible for recording.
Each person could stay for a maximum of 1 hour. If they couldn't drink anymore, they would leave and be replaced by the next person.
The contest had already been going on for 14 hours, from night until day.
The contestants had changed wave after wave, but only Tie Chui remained, standing in the most prominent position, never having moved from his spot.
In 14 hours, at a rough estimate, Tie Chui had drunk more than three thousand mugs of beer, almost catching up to the number of participants.
The participating blacksmiths were confident at first, thinking that Tie Chui was a Dwarf with a small frame, so how much could he really drink?
After half an hour, everyone was dumbfounded, because Tie Chui had drunk one hundred and seventy mugs of beer in half an hour.
