After Good Wine Comes...

The Bartending Association was considered one of the more famous clubs at Jiangcheng University.

Mainly because it sounded fun and not too serious, and it seemed like joining their activities meant scoring free drinks.

It was deeply loved by the drunks.

Of course, in reality, the association wasn't entirely made up of drunks; rather, there was a higher number of active individuals who liked to hit the bars.

This demographic distribution definitely made sense. If the association were mainly composed of heavy drinkers, a bunch of people would frequently gather to get wasted, act crazy under the influence, and perhaps even throw drunken fits or perform impromptu stage plays downstairs at the dormitories...

If similar scenarios happened a few more times, the association would pretty much be shut down.

In a comprehensive university with relatively loose management like Jiangcheng University, clubs didn't necessarily have to make any outstanding contributions to the school, but they absolutely could not cause trouble.

In other words, there was no need to shine, but they couldn't be conspicuously terrible.

This Senior Sister from the Bartending Association was a bar-hopping enthusiast. Su Bai had forgotten when he added her, but in short, this Senior Sister's social media posts were quite wild, basically featuring specialty bars all over Jiangcheng.

Based on the contents of Su Bai's liquor cabinet, the Senior Sister recommended a relatively niche cocktail—the Elderflower Fizz.

The ingredients were gin, elderflower syrup, and lemon juice.

The taste was roughly a faint floral fragrance with a balance of sweet and sour.

This cocktail mainly relied heavily on its raw ingredients, namely the elderflower syrup, which many bars didn't even have in stock.

That was just how niche products were. Of course, if the bar owner or bartender happened to have a soft spot for this flavor, they might just happen to have it.

This suggestion deeply appealed to Su Bai's preferences. If he was going to mix drinks himself, he naturally wanted to make something rare. If it were something common like a Long Island Iced Tea or a Highball, there really wouldn't be much need to do it himself.

The Senior Sister even thoughtfully forwarded a tutorial video.

The process wasn't very difficult. Su Bai quickly learned it, gave it a try, and the final product tasted quite good. As for whether it was authentic or not, that was another matter.

At this moment, the Senior Sister sent a voice message.

"Junior Brother Su Bai, if you're interested in learning more about niche cocktails, I have a lounge bar to recommend. Let's go together when you have time!"

Then, she sent a location pin.

The corners of Su Bai's mouth curled up in a subtle arc.

Well, here she goes trying to hook up with him again.

As Su Bai's reputation in the school grew, the number of girls trying to seduce him also increased.

Based on Su Bai's experience using the system to scan them, these girls generally had quite a rich dating history.

This was actually normal. After all, those who dared to take the initiative to communicate with the opposite sex were often experts at their core.

And experts were all built on a pile of experience.

"We'll see. I'm traveling right now, so I don't have time."

After replying with this single sentence, Su Bai ignored the Senior Sister. Following the creator of the bartending video from earlier, he watched a few more tutorials.

Not bad!

At least the folks in the Bartending Association were somewhat professional in the field of mixology.

This field really couldn't be considered profoundly vast and deep. For example, compared to the coding that Sheng Sheng was obsessed with, the level of complexity was far from it.

Many people had seen those rich second-generation heirs or playboys showing off by mixing drinks, but had anyone ever seen someone showing off by writing code or doing algorithms?

That would be way too rare.

In just a short hour, Su Bai produced four more glasses and drank them all.

At this time, Wan Xinyan woke up, yawning and holding onto the wall as she walked over to the bar counter.

Holding the wall was the right move.

When this guy Su Bai got in the mood, truly not even the gods could stop him.

She and her sister were merely mortals of flesh and blood. They needed to wait for their cooldowns before they dared to appear in front of Su Bai again.

Seeing Su Bai fiddling around at the bar counter with several empty glasses on the table, Wan Xinyan turned pale with fright.

"Brother, why are you binge drinking in broad daylight? This, this won't do..."

"Where is the binge drinking? I'm clearly just taking a few sips, okay!"

Su Bai looked completely nonchalant.

The alcohol content of cocktails was low to begin with. With the alcohol metabolism capability of Su Bai's body, it was truly no different from drinking water.

Of course, Su Bai still adhered to the rule of never drinking and driving.

It was mainly about the sense of ritual.

Besides, many cars were actually more enjoyable to ride in than to drive. For example, the driving experience of most SUVs was really just so-so.

Perhaps this was why bosses and leaders liked having chauffeurs.

"Are you really okay? But Brother has drank several glasses in a row. I'm afraid that tonight, Brother will... woo woo..."

Wan Xinyan's heartbeat, which had only recently calmed down, began to accelerate again.

Her small face also became rosy and appetizing.

As everyone knows, alcohol has the effect of numbing the nerves.

After a man drinks, he will often... well, those who know, know.

Su Bai was already terrifying enough in his normal state. If he were to be inflicted with a drunkenness debuff on top of that, wouldn't it be world-destroying?

Watching Wan Xinyan stammer for a moment, Su Bai finally understood what she was trying to express and immediately let out a hearty laugh.

"Hahaha, your worry is a bit unnecessary. This little bit of alcohol has a negligible effect on me. Plus, the alcohol content is really low. Try it if you don't believe me."

Saying that, Su Bai also mixed a glass of Elderflower Fizz for Wan Xinyan.

This flavor was indeed very special.

Sure enough, that unique floral fragrance instantly made Wan Xinyan's eyes sparkle with curiosity.

"What a special taste. Did Brother just learn this?"

"Yeah..."

"Who did you learn it from? Could it be from those... humph, those indecent women from the school's Bartending Association..."

"Where are they indecent?"

"Hasn't Brother heard? Their core association members rent a villa every Christmas to hold a mixer. A group of men and women play around until the middle of the night together, and then... uh, anyway, it's just really weird. They even tried to recruit my sister and me to join."

"So did you join?"

"Of course we refused. It felt a little scary."

As they chatted, Wan Xinyan's contempt for that group of people was palpable.

When it came to their private lives, the Wan sisters were all about strictness.

Once they set their sights on a target, they would not engage in any ambiguous relationships with other men.

Not to mention...

Just thinking about that kind of scene felt terrifying; even taking a slight glance felt like it would dirty one's eyes.

"Brother, you mustn't get involved with the women from the Bartending Association!"

"Hahaha, then you're completely overthinking it. I just need their technical guidance, that's all."

"Then I'm relieved."

"Have a taste, this is really good. It gives you the feeling of being in a Mediterranean flower field..."

"What kind of feeling is that?"

"I don't know either, I'm just making it up. I've actually never been there. We should go try it when we have time."

Su Bai wanted to experience the scenery and cultures all over the world, and he truly had the free time for it now.

Traveling in Europe was something he hardly dared to think about before.

Mainly because the travel expenses and local consumption were quite expensive. When it came to prices and the cost-effectiveness of travel, the European continent really wasn't that great.

Now, however, it could already be added to his travel bucket list.
