Genshin Impact: Dionysus reigns supreme, all demons retreat!

From the first time he activated the God's Eye of Wine until now, Xu Ning has only obtained one and a half skills.

Tap the basic attack button? Drunken Eight Immortals (only learned one attack sequence)

Long press and heavy tap – Drinking Song

This is equivalent to two uses of the left-click basic attack from the previous life, and even combined they don't count as half a move.

Tap the skill: Drunken Madness

Long press the skill button: Drunken Frenzy (Area of ​​Effect Attack)

Additional status? Intending to indulge in unrestrained revelry and get drunk.

This is essentially a different way of using the E skill in the previous life; combined, they can be considered one technique.

There's also a Q skill, commonly known as the ultimate skill, but I don't know when it will be activated out of nowhere.

Shaking his head, Xu Ning shook off the distracting thoughts in his mind.

Calm down and contemplate the many moves and applications this new skill brings you, and your hands and feet involuntarily begin to practice.

This move, "Drunken Madness," can only be used when the left hand holds a brass gourd.

At this point, Xu Ning switched his main attack from his right hand to his left.

That's right, Xu Ning is right-handed.

When using the Drunken Fist and Drunken Eight Immortals style, the main attacking hand is the right hand, with the left hand as a secondary hand.

However, when using the Drunken Madness technique, the main attacking hand is switched to the left hand holding the wine gourd, and all the moves of the Eight Drunken Immortals will be reversed.

Moreover, thanks to the deer sinew bowstring that Xu Ning tied to the wine gourd, the Drunken Madness's moves and attack range gained countless new variations.

Xu Ning practiced this latest move with abandon on the cliff. The powerful force generated by his fists, feet, and wine gourd stirred up the mountain wind, gradually forming a new flow around him.

A moment later, Xu Ning abruptly stopped punching, the gust of wind he stirred up causing his clothes to flutter loudly.

Something's not right with this thing!

Switching between the left and right main attackers is not a problem.

With his powerful muscle memory, Xu Ning's familiarity with the moves is beyond the level of perfection.

Not to mention reversing the moves, even if Xu Ning were hung upside down, he could still execute them smoothly.

The problem lies solely with the "drunken" state brought about by the skill "intending to indulge in unrestrained revelry".

According to the skill description, the "drunken" state that occurs when one drinks a lot of alcohol will stack up and greatly increase one's attack power.

But what exactly constitutes excessive drinking?

What constitutes being drunk?

Where can I find signs indicating that someone is "intoxicated"?

If I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, does that mean I'm ruining myself?

Xu Ning tilted his head back and took a long breath, swallowing more than half a jin of the gourd in one long breath.

Then, focusing his mind, he summoned his attribute interface, which showed no abnormal indicators.

Xu Ning rubbed his temples in distress. "This is a huge problem!"

Since gaining the ability of the alcohol element, Xu Ning has discovered that with daily drinking, not only his strength but also his alcohol tolerance has been increasing day by day.

While I wouldn't presume to claim that drinking alcohol is like drinking water, the way I drank it without even a peanut, as I did just now, only achieved a state of "slight tipsiness."

It's still a very, very long way from being "drunk" or "blacking out".

"Sigh!" Xu Ning sighed and tilted his head back to drink again.

Just as I was enjoying my drink, I suddenly caught a glimpse of the sun in the sky.

"Oh no, we should have gone back earlier."

Xu Ning dared not waste any more time with any experiments, and hurriedly tucked the wine gourd into his waistband.

Grasp the wild boar's front and hind hooves with both hands and swing it over your back.

Xu Ning didn't even have time to pick up the mushrooms and mints he had just dropped down the mountain. He ran down the gentle slope.

The old village chief and Beidou have returned.

The old village chief lit a small fire in the open space and was teaching Beidou how to grill fish.

Seeing Xu Ning running over from afar, Beidou held up two whole fish that were almost cooked, as if presenting a treasure.

"I caught both of these myself. You can have the big one, and I'll take the small one."

The old village chief smiled and said, "There are still many. Grill more if you like them."

Xu Ning walked over and threw the wild boar on his back onto the stove.

The thud of the wild boar falling to the ground made the old village chief's eyes tremble.

Xu Ning walked to the fire, took the branch that Beidou handed him, and took a big bite out of the fish.

"Mmm! Delicious! The salt and pepper are just right."

He praised the little girl's cooking skills, making her blush with embarrassment.

Xu Ning then asked casually, "Why are your clothes half wet? Did you accidentally fall into the water?"

Beidou shook his head and raised the grilled fish in his hand.

“We originally cast the net for these two big fish, but they swam very fast and escaped from under the net, so I just jumped in and caught them.”

"You're so amazing? You can catch fish with your bare hands?" Xu Ning asked in surprise.

The old village chief chuckled, “Beidou’s swimming skills must be innate. He swims much faster than fish. I doubt anyone in this fishing village can match him.”

Xu Ning rubbed Beidou's head and smiled at the old village chief, "I'll have to trouble you to take me to Wangshu Inn again later, and teach us how to row a boat while you're at it. I can't keep bothering you."

The old village chief waved his hand, "No trouble at all."

"However, if you only want to transport wine jars, I do have a bamboo raft moored on the shore, which I'll give to you."

Xu Ning quickly declined, "How can that be?"

“I originally used it for fishing when I had nothing to do, but now I’m too lazy to fish, so it’s just sitting there unused. We’ll ride it in a bit, and I’ll teach you how to paddle the raft.”

Xu Ning nodded thoughtfully and pointed to the wild boar on the ground.

"This wild boar is too big; the two of us can't finish it. I'll cut off two front legs and a set of offal for you tonight."

The old village chief sighed, "You child..."

Having eaten grilled fish is considered lunch.

Xu Ning carried the wine jar onto the bamboo raft, and the old village chief guided the two of them to take turns using the long pole to propel the boat.

Apart from being slightly too fast and having to slide backward quite a distance when the long pole was pushed into a large arc upon reaching the shore, Xu Ning and Bei Dou had basically mastered the knack of rowing the boat.

The handover of Wangshu Inn went smoothly.

The shopkeeper from Huai'an opened the stopper, took a sip, and still praised it highly.

He paid Xu Ning 50,000 Mora directly and readily. The deposit was not offset, and it was agreed that another jar would be delivered in three days.

Xu Ning smiled and agreed, then bought some everyday food from the shopkeeper in Huai'an.

Rice, flour, oil, salt, sugar, and all sorts of seasonings were stuffed into a jar.

They also carried a large bag of vegetables such as cabbage and radishes, and of course, they also saw the fierce-looking man who was tightly bound in the storage room.

Xu Ning knew that this was Yan Xiao, the future top chef of Wangshu Inn, so he naturally greeted him upon meeting.

Yan Xiao ignored him with a cold face.

As I was leaving the inn, I heard the diners outside praising the newly served drinks.

However, there are also some rather unique voices.

"What's wrong with this wine?"

This is a question posed by one diner to another at the next table.

Xu Ning, who was holding the jar, gestured for Bei Dou to wait a moment, and leaned against the lamppost by the door to listen to the argument between the two.

At the next table sat a burly man with a full beard.

"You know, I didn't say it was bad. This wine is probably the best I've ever had in my life. I just said it's a bit weak."

The diner immediately retorted, "Not strong enough? Not as strong as Mondstadt's sweet wine?"

The burly man chuckled, "If you want to argue, we have something to say. Is it stronger than the wine from the Winter Solstice Kingdom? Ever heard of Fire Wine?"

"If I made you something that tasted like strong liquor, would you dare drink it?"

"Yes, I dare!"

The two men's voices grew louder and louder, while Xu Ning's eyes shone brighter and brighter as he listened.

"I've figured it out!"
