The interior of this bar was rather dusky, the ceiling was rather low, and the supporting pillars didn't even have their bark peeled off. A few ropes hung down from the ceiling, with all sorts of strange objects tied to them. There were wine bottles, jars, wood, unfinished sculptures, stones etc. These were hung up by sailors and pirates who were about to execute dangerous missions, carrying their wishes.
At the far end of the bar, there were a few dilapidated oak wine barrels, and a few people were surrounding them, chatting and laughing. The bar table was low, sturdy and heavy, emitting a greyish black colour that had been polished by the passage of time. On top of it were polished brass candlesticks and oil lamps. Most of the sailors and pirates sitting around were wearing old, faded, and tattered clothes. Their hair was tied into small braids and hung glass beads on them. They had messy beards and hair.
Sheyan's entrance only attracted a few people's attention, probably because his appearance of chewing on betel nut was a common sight here. He walked to the bar counter and before he opened his mouth, the bartender directly slid a wooden wine cup over, the rum inside miraculously didn't spill out a single drop.
"Happy rum festival, the first cup is free, next time please prepare your shillings, young man." “
Sheyan had walked so far, in addition to chatting with that crafty and snobbish boss for so long, he was rather thirsty. Picking up the wine cup and drinking a mouthful, he couldn't help but stare blankly. This was because the rum that he had drunk on the boat was one of the world's six great spirits. When it entered his mouth, it flowed into his stomach like a line of fire, and the final taste was slightly sweet. With his alcohol tolerance, he only dared to drink a medium cup.
However, the liquid in the cup had the sweetness of sugarcane. Other than that, there was only a slight taste of alcohol. It couldn't even be considered a beer. At most, it was an alcoholic beverage. It was probably due to the lack of pressing and brewing techniques at this time. Not to mention, the bar owner probably added some water into the beer after purchasing it.
Since that was the case, Sheyan gulped down the contents of the cup in one gulp. Then he smacked his lips, fishing out his money pouch and said.
"Another cup, oh right."
Sheyan suddenly thought of something and earnestly added, "That's right.
"4 shillings for a cup, no more, no less."
At present, Sheyan's pockets were embarrassingly tight, naturally he had to be meticulous in his calculations. The bartender was slightly stunned after witnessing Sheyan's previous drinking. Drinking a large cup of rum in one go wasn't considered rare, but to drink it and still be able to order an even larger cup, that was a rare sight. What they didn't know was that when Sheyan was a seaman, he had once sailed through Russia. Under the dreadfully bitter cold of Siberia, high purity vodka was a necessity to resist the cold. Sheyan had been tested in such an environment for a long time. Hence, in the present world, he could drink half a kilo of white wine. Beer was even more so, he could drink as much beer as he wanted. Naturally, they were flabbergasted.
As the saying goes, you get what you pay for, the paid cup of rum was naturally more than the free one. Sheyan then finished the second cup of rum in one breath, undoubtedly he had successfully attracted the attention of everyone. He nodded his head in satisfaction, looking at the notification from the nightmare imprint regarding the 'drunkard' milestone reaching 1100, he casually found a table and sat down. Beside him sat a tall skinny man, looking like he was very familiar with people, he raised his cup towards Sheyan and laughed:
"Hey buddy, your alcohol tolerance isn't bad."
Sheyan chuckled, gazing at the group of people gathered around the abandoned wine barrels at the far end of the bar.
"What are you guys playing so happily?"
The tall skinny man shrugged his shoulders, unhappily replying:
"Scarface Harry is arm-wrestling with someone again right? That brat with only muscles in his head, can't he choose a less barbaric method to find some entertainment? “
Sheyan was currently in need of money, because to achieve the drunkard milestone, it meant that he had to pay at least 4 shillings x 99 cups of money. 20 pounds to the current him, it was undoubtedly a huge sum. Thus after hearing the word 'gambling', Sheyan's eyes lit up, he stood up and walked over.
Scarface Harry was a huge man, his facial features had distinct viking characteristics. His face had a 5 cm long scar, twisting like a centipede, there was not a single strand of hair on his head, it was glossy and shiny. This bearded brat's laughter was extremely resonant, as though it could shake off even the dust. But one could tell that he was very popular, even the sailors who lost money were all smiling, not showing any signs of unhappiness. After Sheyan walked over, his eyes flashed, activating his insight ability.

Description: Scarface Harry is only bringing a bunch of underlings out to have some fun, if you think this is his true strength, then the only outcome is your head being twisted off and piled up with those spoiled coconuts.
After looking at his attributes, Sheyan's heart had an idea, he tossed out the money pouch and laughed.
"2 pounds, I'll bet with you." “
Scarface Harry looked at Sheyan and laughed out loud.
"Yellow skinned brat, if you think that your alcohol tolerance is high, then you're destined to lose money." “
Sheyan shrugged his shoulders and laughed.
"That's hard to say." “
Scarface Harry laughed, he ordered a cup of tequila and slowly drank, recovering his strength. After about 5 minutes, he stretched his wrist and said.
"Come on." “
Tequila was also a strong alcohol, and there were substances similar to stimulants in it. Although Scarface Harry had a huge physique, his brain was not the least bit muddled. After drinking the tequila, his strength shockingly increased by 1 point, reaching a high of 10 points. Sheyan calmly sat by the side sipping his rum, as though victory was already in his grasp.
Although Sheyan could be considered sturdy, when he rolled up his sleeves and extended his right hand to grab Scarface Harry's huge palm, he suddenly looked thin and pitiful. One must know that in terms of physique, Sheyan's 1.77m height and 75kg figure was like a child in front of this guy! After the two of them started to exert their strength, Sheyan instantly felt an indescribable huge force passing through his wrist. Instantly, Sheyan's hand was pressed against the table at a 45 degree angle, his entire body was slanted. His brows raised like a knife, and he immediately exerted all his strength.
The wooden wine barrel that the two of them were sitting on immediately made a light cracking sound. It was obvious that it could not withstand the huge impact and had cracked. Fortunately, the old round oak table that the two of them were sitting on was quite sturdy and did not move even though it was covered in scars.
The people nearby gasped in shock. Usually, Scarface Harry was invincible in arm wrestling, he was rather famous in the entire Tortuga port. If the people on the three legendary ships did not make a move, they would have more chances of winning than losing. It was quite common for Sheyan to be forced into an absolute disadvantage, but Sheyan was the first one to be able to hold his ground after being forced into such a disadvantageous position!
Both of their faces turned red at the same time, the veins on their wrists popped out one by one, and both of their hands trembled slightly. But what made people flabbergasted was, Sheyan's hand was slowly but resolutely reversing the situation! Scarface Harry's eyes were wide open, beads of perspiration formed on his forehead, he could only watch helplessly as his opponent counterattacked!
It was at this moment that the old oak barrel they were sitting on could no longer withstand the pressure and shattered into pieces with a "Pa La" sound. To avoid the embarrassing situation of sitting on the ground, Sheyan could only release his hand and stand up. This competition ended without any results. The surrounding spectators let out a sigh, obviously regretting not being able to witness a good comeback.
Instead, Scarface Harry was a hoodlum, laughing out loud.
"This damned barrel, why did it interfere at such a crucial time. I've lost this competition, damn, give 40 shillings to this mister." “
Damn was a 50 year old stout man beside him, his hair was already grizzled. After hearing this, he straightforwardly threw 2 pound sterling into Sheyan's money pouch, and then tossed the money pouch back. Sheyan did not leave, instead he signaled to the bartender, ordering him to give everyone a glass of rum, of course it was a 4 shillings large glass. He then angrily shouted out.
"I'm Seaman Yan, from Hua Nation in the east. A greedy ship owner hired me and promised me 10% of the profits. After sailing for tens of thousands of nautical miles, he successfully sold the raw silk and ceramics that he brought with him for 20 times the profit. But after getting me drunk, he left me in this beautiful and strange place! “
Speaking till here, Sheyan raised his glass high up, saying:
"May the devil curse his soul!"
The people present were either sailors or pirates, they did not have any good feelings towards unscrupulous merchants. Those who were treated by Sheyan also had the same feeling, simultaneously raising their glasses and shouting:
"May the devil curse his soul!"
