Scientific Travel

Dog Egg is strange.

Not only Deng Yin discovered it, but Gao Ruizhe also discovered it.

He discussed it with Feifei behind her back: "Is he planning to use the 'play hard to get' tactic? Do you think I should try it too?"

Feifei rolled her eyes at him. "Is it possible that you've misunderstood? Gou Dan doesn't actually like Deng Yin. He's been distant lately because he's been working too hard and is angry with Deng Yin. You think he's distancing himself from you because you've been implicated in something."

Gao Ruizhe's eyes looked somewhat lost.

Is that really true...?

Feifei understands this much better than him; since he said so, it must be true...

Deng Yin didn't guess what caused Gou Dan's change; she already had the answer in her heart.

To verify the accuracy of this answer, Deng Yin decided to speak the truth after drinking.

The wine Gao Ruizhe bought last time was no good; Gou Dan drank so much but didn't get drunk. Deng Yin also remembered that he drank a bowl of wine at the clinic before and slept for several days in a row.

The clinic has an ice room, but the outer door is closed to prevent the cold air from escaping.

Deng Yin pushed open the door of the clinic, momentarily unsure where to step.

The ground was full of sick people. Some were genuinely ill and came to see a doctor, while others were using the air conditioning as an excuse to suffer from heatstroke and enjoy the cool air.

It's not exactly an excuse, but there are definitely signs of heatstroke. At this temperature, you could get heatstroke even if you just lie at home doing nothing, but none of them are serious.

The doctors knew what everyone was thinking. The most important thing for doctors is to save lives, so they turned a blind eye.

What Deng Yin didn't know was that during this period, every shop was bustling with customers from opening to closing.

If we don't install air conditioning, no customers will come. But if we do install air conditioning, there are always people who buy a little something or even nothing at all and stay in the store all day.

These people greatly reduce the space available to customers who genuinely want to buy things, but there's no way to get rid of them.

The summer heat brings dryness, and everyone values ​​harmony for good business. If a fight breaks out in the shop, how can the shop stay open?

If Deng Yin's shop hadn't been imbued with a touch of mystical energy, there would undoubtedly have been a group of people basking in the air conditioning from morning till night.

Ice is incredibly expensive now. The ice we stored last winter is long gone, and all we can buy now is artificial ice.

Apart from Shimu City, few cities can boast air conditioning in almost every shop.

A clinic is not a shop; it doesn't need to attract customers in this way.

It's just too hot this year; the doctor got heatstroke before he could even cure the patient.

Liu Ding was so busy he barely had time to breathe, and Deng Yin didn't even bother with reminiscing before getting straight to the point: "What kind of wine does your clinic serve? I'd like to buy two jars."

Deng Yin was the first person to come to the clinic to buy wine. Liu Ding led her to the door and pointed to the shop across the street, saying, "See that shop? It sells wine. Just go in and tell them you want the cheapest one. That's the kind of wine we sell at the clinic."

"Thank you."

With such a high alcohol content and such a low price, Deng Yin ordered thirty jars of this wine and had the shopkeeper deliver them to her home.

There are many things that alcohol can do, and you can still use it even if you can't drink it all.

Seeing how generous she was, the shop owner gave her an extra jar of wine.

Now that we have wine, how can we not have some snacks to go with it? I just happened to open two hundred cans of food yesterday, which can be eaten after a little heating.

Deng Yin laid out a table full of dishes, but there were actually only three dishes, with one dish placed on two plates.

The two of them had three dishes, all of which were the same.

Deng Yin also fried a plate of peanuts for Gao Ruizhe and Gou Dan each.

This is an essential snack to accompany drinks.

"You've all worked hard these past few days. To reward you, I've cooked a meal myself and bought some wine. Tonight, Gao Ruizhe and Gou Dan, you two drink until you drop!"

Dog Egg looked at the three dishes and peanuts in front of him, and his lips twitched slightly.

What did she cook? Fried peanuts?

Gao Ruizhe had been complaining to Feifei about how tired he was these past few days, but after hearing what Deng Yin said, he lost all his emotions.

Gao Ruizhe poured himself a full glass of wine and toasted Deng Yin. "It's nothing, you're the one who's really worked hard. You came back from such a long journey in just three days, you must not have rested well. This glass is for you!"

After speaking, Gao Ruizhe drank it all in one gulp.

"Cough cough cough cough... cough cough cough cough"

This liquor... is so spicy...

Although Gao Ruizhe wasn't a heavy drinker, he did have some knowledge of alcohol.

You can tell this wine must be very cheap just by taking a sip.

It's alright, it's just a token of my appreciation. Gao Ruizhe isn't a materialistic person.

Dog Egg ate his peanuts silently, without drinking a single drop of wine.

Deng Yin didn't forget the main purpose of today. She personally poured Gou Dan a glass of wine and said, "Drink up."

Gou Dan didn't move; he stared straight at Deng Yin.

Just as Gao Ruizhe couldn't help but try to block his view, Gou Dan made a move and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

Back then, Gou Dan got so drunk after just one bowl of wine. Deng Yin still had questions to ask, so they couldn't let him get too drunk.

It takes time for the alcohol to take effect, and Gao Ruizhe got himself drunk during this time, but Gou Dan still didn't show any reaction.

Isn't it enough?

Deng Yin poured Gou Dan another glass of wine and watched him drink it all.

.......

Still no response...

Deng Yin refused to believe it and let Gou Dan drink the whole jar of wine, but he still showed no signs of getting drunk.

Deng Yin was a little angry. Liu Ding clearly said that the wine in the clinic was the cheapest wine in the shop across the street, but Gou Dan had drunk so much and still had no reaction.

Could it be that the business is selling fake bars?

The next day, Deng Yin stormed to the shop, placing the jar of wine she had bought on the counter. "Did you dilute the wine with water? Otherwise, why is it that someone who used to get drunk after just one bowl of wine is now perfectly fine after drinking a whole jar?"

There were no customers in the store, so Deng Yin didn't bother to lower his voice.

The shop owner remembered Deng Yin; she was the young girl who came to buy thirty jars of wine yesterday.

"Don't accuse me of something wrong! I've been selling liquor on this street for over ten years, and no one has ever said that we've diluted it with water! You can say this jar of liquor isn't strong enough—we do have strong liquor—but you can't say I've diluted it with water!"

Seeing how angry the boss was, Deng Yin didn't think it was really diluted with water...

But Gou Dan really drank a whole jar and didn't get drunk. How could someone's alcohol tolerance increase so much in such a short time?

Either Liu Ding is lying, or this shop is selling counterfeit alcohol.

Deng Yin ignored his one-sided account and took the jar of wine to the clinic.

Liu Ding saw Deng Yin carrying a jar of wine and looked unwell. "What's wrong?"

Deng Yin placed the jar of wine on the cashier's counter and asked, "Take a look and see if this jar of wine is the same as the wine you buy at your clinic."

Liu Ding has a very keen sense of smell. She sniffed it and said, "Yes."

“Do you remember the guy I brought to see me before? He was dizzy for two days after drinking just one bowl of wine. But yesterday I gave him this whole jar of wine, and he was perfectly fine!” Deng Yinyue became increasingly angry as she spoke, asserting, “How could someone’s alcohol tolerance improve so much in such a short time? I bet the boss diluted it with water!”

Liu Ding found it somewhat amusing. She stopped Deng Yin, who was about to confront the owner. "The wine in our clinic makes people dizzy because it's laced with a sleeping potion. He was probably drugged, not drunk."

"what?"

Who would have thought someone would put a drug in alcohol? If they wanted to numb someone, they could just put the drug in the water.

"Then why not put it in the water, but in the wine?" That's what Deng Yin thought, so he asked the same question.

"Because if you put it in alcohol, you won't be able to taste the drug, and alcohol can make the drug more effective." Liu Ding explained to her, "Colorless and odorless drugs are too expensive. In order to make people unconscious even after bone scraping surgery, a large amount of 'Shusha grass' is added to the drug. This grass is very bitter, and most people would find it difficult to swallow if it is put in water."

Deng Yin felt a little embarrassed; no wonder the wine seller was so angry.

It's hard not to be angry when someone slanders you for no reason.

Deng Yin realized he had misunderstood him, so he took the jar of wine back to the shop.

The shop owner kept staring at Deng Yin, and seeing her come out of the clinic somewhat awkwardly, he knew that she had probably come to express her apology.

Even if a shop owner causes a misunderstanding with a customer, there is absolutely no reason for the customer to apologize.

What's more, she casually brought thirty jars of wine; she was a big customer.

The shopkeeper went inside and got the strongest liquor, handing it to Deng Yin. "If you want strong liquor, you can try this. I don't need it; take it home and see what you think."

Seeing the boss's attitude, Deng Yin felt even more embarrassed. She gritted her teeth and said, "Give me a hundred jars of this wine, and deliver them to yesterday's address."

The boss's initial grievances vanished completely. He didn't care if he had more customers like this, no matter how much they misunderstood him!

In addition to buying a hundred jars of wine, Deng Yin also gave him a cake.

They were taken from the space. Deng Yin didn't just make a hundred every day; he always made more to deal with emergencies.

Deng Yin didn't deliver it directly; instead, he went back to the store, packed it up, and then delivered it.

This food box is now just as popular as the cake; some people even buy cakes just to get this food box.

The boss was the kind of person who wouldn't accept something for nothing, so he couldn't refuse and accepted it, but when he delivered the wine, he gave Deng Yin an extra fifty jars.

When Gao Ruizhe returned home and saw the floor covered in liquor, he asked, "Are we going to switch careers and sell liquor?"

"No." Deng Yin picked up the wine from the ground, leaving only two jars. "They said this wine was delicious, so I bought a little more."

This is more than just a little bit...

Tonight we're having hot pot. Deng Yin put three handfuls of dried chili peppers into the broth. These chili peppers are very spicy, and they get even spicier after they're dried.

I refuse to believe he can't drink much!

This was tough on Gao Ruizhe and Feifei, especially Gao Ruizhe, who could only eat a little bit of spicy food and needed to drink at least a bowl of wine to relieve the spiciness after eating just one bite of food.

Feifei is a child, but Deng Yin still has humanity, so he made him two cups of Baiguo drink.

Cold drinks are more effective at relieving spiciness, so Deng added a lot of ice to it.

Just as Deng Yin thought, Gou Dan drank about the same amount of alcohol as Gao Ruizhe. The boss said that most people would pass out after drinking one jar, and even people with a huge capacity for alcohol could not drink more than four jars.

This is definitely true. Even if it's water instead of wine, people who can drink four jars of it are extremely rare.

Even though alcohol could relieve the spiciness, Gao Ruizhe only ate a couple of bites before heading back.

His stomach felt like it was on fire, and he had to force himself to keep his face from contorting.

You can't lose face in front of Deng Yin.

Deng Yin had anticipated that he and Feifei wouldn't eat much, so before making the Hundred Pots, he specially placed a cake and two plates of grapes in the main room.

The two of them were left alone in the room. Deng Yin noticed that Gou Dan had slowed down his eating, so she would occasionally put food on his plate to speed him up.

Dog Egg had drunk three jars of wine; his cheeks were flushed, and the tips of his ears were also red.

Seeing that his eyes were somewhat unfocused, Deng waved his hand in front of him. "Have you had too much to drink?"

"I don't!"

Okay, he must have drunk too much. No drunk person would admit to drinking too much.

Out of caution, Deng asked step by step, "Who are you?"

Well, it's not exactly a gradual process. If Gou Dan regains his memories, he definitely won't admit that he is Gou Dan.

"Who am I...? Ha..." Dog Egg sneered, "Isn't that something to ask you?"

"Whoever you say I am, that's who I am. Why do you need to ask me?"

Not right.

Something is definitely not right.

"Did you remember or not?" Deng Yin cut straight to the point: "Have you regained your memories?"

"Yes......."

"Then why...?"

"Because... I don't know how to face you..." Dog Egg, oh no, now it's the system.

The system's eyes were red-rimmed, the candlelight made them appear watery, and there were still wine stains on his lips.

He stared intently at Deng Yin, as if accusing her of being unreasonable.

Deng Yin felt a little guilty. Naming him "Dog Egg" was indeed wrong of her, and she also felt guilty for calling him his master and ordering him around these past few days...

Deng Yin felt increasingly guilty, but when people feel guilty to a certain extent, they actually become more assertive.

"I admit I was wrong about this, but aren't you right too? As a system, you insisted on revealing your true form to argue with me, and you're so fragile, losing your memory with just a light shock..."

When he said "a gentle electric shock," Deng Yin's eyes darted around, and his guilty conscience was written all over his face.

"It was definitely my fault!" The system suddenly became agitated. He stood up, pointed at Deng Yin, and said, "I shouldn't have saved you in the first place! What did I gain? Now I've ended up like this."

"Don't talk nonsense." Deng Yin slapped away the system's hand that was pointing at her and pointed back. "When did you ever save me?"

"I..." The system stammered for a long time, and finally just waved its hand and said, "Why should I argue with an idiot like you?"

The system ignored Deng Yin's shouts and curses behind him and went back to its own room.

He doesn't want to sleep with anyone else tonight.

Despite his anger, Gao Ruizhe still remembered to leave a piece of cake for Gou Dan, and he also left half a plate of grapes for him.

Unfortunately, he drank a bit too much and fell asleep before Gou Dan came back.

When I woke up the next day, I found that everything on the plate was gone.

He didn't know that Gou Dan hadn't returned all night.

Those things were all eaten by Feifei...
