"Hmm? Wait! What just happened?"
"Holy cow, is the streamer... drunk?"
Seeing the streamer suddenly sit back down, the viewers were initially confused.
But when they saw the blush on the streamer's face and the dazed look in their eyes, they immediately understood.
The streamer must be drunk, right? Drunk?
For some reason, the viewers became a little excited.
"Ahhhh, the streamer looks so cute!!! o(*////▽////*)q"
"Screenshot, let me screenshot ahhhh!"
"Art masters, hurry, hurry! It's time to test your hand speed!"
"Chibi version is ready, grab it from my space, the realistic version is in progress!"
Some viewers screamed, and some masters quickly activated their 'divine hands' and 'speedy hands', afraid that if they were any later, the screen would go black.
This was a new expression from the streamer!
Another portion of the viewers' attention was not on this.
"What kind of wine is that, that even the streamer gets drunk?"
"One cup and down? Is it the streamer's alcohol tolerance... or the wine's problem?"
"Hey hey hey, what are you doing? What are you going to do to the streamer?"
After the initial excitement, the viewers gradually felt that something was wrong as they watched the live stream.
"Good heavens, this was all planned?!"
"Wait, you guys, stop! Protect our streamer!"
...
In the grand hall.
The newly arrived ghost envoys either found seats for themselves or gathered together.
After Jiang Lin drank a cup of wine and returned to his seat, the ghost envoys who were observing nearby immediately leaned over.
"Hahaha, this is the Drunken Immortal that can even knock out a Ghost King... you can only drink like this at the annual meeting hahaha..."
"Let's see if he's dazed."
"You didn't pay attention the first time, everyone is like this, hahaha..."
"New ghost envoys have to drink three cups, this is just the first cup, continue."
"There's already someone who's a one-cup wonder over there, Captain Jiang is doing a bit better."
Jiang Lin was still in a daze and didn't react to the seniors who were crowding around him.
He vaguely heard a ghost envoy laughing beside him.
These voices seemed to be from far away, yet also right by his ears.
In a trance, he saw King Jian'an wave his hand in front of him.
"Cough, are you okay? Don't circulate your energy yet, it will have the opposite effect now. Circulate it later."
King Jian'an was also tricked into blindly drinking three cups when he first attended the annual meeting.
It was said to be a custom of the annual meeting, that all captains promoted within the last century had to drink three cups first.
Later, when he attended the annual meeting, he prepared a large amount of information and reported his work for a day and a night.
He directly compressed the time of the annual meeting.
Although Lord Yama later canceled the reporting process because of this, he had gained experience and would not be drunk again.
King Jian'an spoke for a while, but found that Jiang Lin was just staring at him blankly and nodding blankly.
Seeing this, King Jian'an felt like laughing, but also a bit guilty.
After all, the first cup of wine started with him.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, I'm coming for the second cup!"
At this moment, a first-rank ghost envoy walked over with a wine cup.
He wore a red robe, was burly, and looked quite festive.
"Captain Jiang, congratulations, congratulations! You are the ghost prodigy who has been promoted in the last hundred years! Come, I'll toast you!"
As the first-rank ghost envoy spoke, he poured wine for Jiang Lin and handed it to him.
Jiang Lin looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a large expanse of red, and the aura of a first-rank ghost envoy emanating from the other party.
Then, following the other party's movements, he saw the first-rank ghost envoy offering wine?
Jiang Lin reached out and took it, looking at it hazily for a moment, should he drink it or not?
In the jade cup, the aroma of the wine directly wafted into his nose.
"I finished it."
The first-rank ghost envoy said, lowering his cup to indicate that not a drop was left.
Then he smiled at Jiang Lin.
"Me too..."
Jiang Lin smelled the wine and simply downed it in one gulp.
He wanted to say he also finished it drop by drop.
But after this cup went down, the wine churned, and the ghost energy within his body burned fiercely, surging and permeating...
Jiang Lin felt the entire world become unreal, hazy, as if he were walking on clouds.
The surrounding sounds, people, and things all disappeared.
*Tap~*
The wine cup landed on the table and rolled twice.
...
In the live stream, the viewers saw the streamer collapse on the dining table, his eyes quietly closed.
A slight smile on his lips, his cheeks rosy, as if he had fallen asleep.
"Awooo——! So cute! (*ΦwΦ*)"
"The one above, calm down! Or I'll be the first to make a move!"
"You in front, do you see my fist? I advise you to be calm ᕙ༼◉_◔༽ᕗ"
"This wine seems very strong! I don't want to drink it, I just want to ask about the taste..."
As they were getting excited, the viewers suddenly noticed another ghost envoy approaching with a wine cup.
"Streamer, wake up quickly!"
"Protect our streamer!"
The streamer was drunk, but they were still awake.
So the question arose.
What was the point of that?!
They could only watch helplessly...
...
*Smack—!*
In the grand hall, at another spot where ghost envoys were gathered to force-feed drinks.
A black ghost envoy captain, also promoted within the last hundred years, collapsed on the dining table after drinking a cup of wine.
No matter how they pushed or called him, he didn't respond.
His entire face was flushed red.
"Hahahaha... another one-cup wonder."
"The juniors this year are not up to par, hahaha..."
Beside him, a group of captains waiting to force-feed drinks laughed heartily.
What was good about the annual meeting?
First, the exquisite food and wine were rare treasures.
And second, it was to get the newly arrived captains drunk.
"Wow—"
Just then, a loud "咚" sound came from a third drinking spot.
A large iron hammer appeared out of nowhere and smashed the dining table in front of them to pieces.
And on the other end of the large iron hammer was Meng Po.
Meng Po, with a blank expression, holding the large iron hammer, looked over coldly.
She reprimanded, "What are you looking at? Get in line!"
"Hahahaha, so he's already drunk!"
"It's over, it's over, this is going to be a drunken rampage."
"Let's get out of here, hahaha..."
Seeing that the situation was not good, a group of captains turned and ran.
"Still trying to run? Today, this grandma will let you taste the might of the great iron hammer!"
Meng Po snorted coldly, raised her hammer, and chased after them with a blank expression.
The sound of '咚咚' echoed through the grand hall.
At times, dining tables were smashed, and at times, captains, not paying attention, were hit with a cry of "Ouch."
"Quick, quick, Meng Po has gone mad!"
"Hahaha, here comes the first one to go on a drunken rampage this year!"
The fun of the annual meeting was not only in forcing drinks, but also in the reactions of the newly promoted captains after they got drunk.
Whether it was a drunken rampage or nonsensical talk, these were great sources of amusement for the seniors.
These seniors ran in circles within the grand hall, laughing loudly.
The annual meeting did not have a specific start time, but the atmosphere had already begun to liven up.
...
In the live stream room.
The viewers who saw these scenes through another camera were all stunned.
"Is Meng Po treating everyone as souls of the departed...?"
"Good heavens, so this is how the annual meeting is played!"
"Wait, I'm going to log in with my computer, this phone screen is not satisfying enough!"
