The commotion outside the room continued.
Bang!
"Drink! Drink! Drink..."
The occasional crash of wine barrels hitting the ground and the crowd's cheers convinced Su Ming—
After tonight, his men would probably gain quite a few blood brothers from different fathers and mothers.
Collector Tivan listened to the sound of empty barrels shattering, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
"Those were all fine wines I collected from various planets.
"Especially one called Old Ganbai. It's practically a treasure among hard liquors...
"Surely those people out there can't actually drink that much, can they?"
The Collector had thought that pulling out a few bottles from his collection would be enough to handle that bunch.
Considering their numbers, he had even deliberately chosen the strongest spirits.
He had calculated that two rounds would be enough to drink them under the table.
But judging from the increasingly raucous noise outside, the alcohol he had just brought out—seemed not to be enough!
Damn it! Were they drinking hard liquor like beer?
Why weren't they down yet?
Tivan forced down his reluctance and tried to focus on Su Ming.
Then he thought of the losses to the Biofluid Lake, and his expression became a little unnatural.
"The changes in the Biofluid Lake were caused by you, weren't they...
"Hmm...
"You displayed a unique adaptability to the universe's primordial power.
"That left me... deeply impressed.
"The Starcore Fragment, as the remnant of a singularity from the birth of the universe, is worth far more than you can imagine.
"I can tell you about it.
"But first, you must find two things for me."
As expected.
Although Su Ming did not know what the Collector was plotting, anyone who knew him understood one thing.
His obsession with collecting and his shrewd calculations were his defining traits.
