I Carry a Game World With Me

Chapter 272: Chapter 251: Utterly Shocked! Gone Crazy! Desperate

Yang Ming found a sofa in the banquet hall, sat down, and sipped his drink. He even indulged a mischievous impulse, taking out his phone to film Master Kai and Ah Pao’s cringeworthy behavior.

’Is this what it feels like to be the only sober one in a room full of drunks?’

Baguda and Fire Silica had also confirmed that the guests’ strange behavior was definitely related to the Dream-Returning Wine.

The two of them exchanged a glance.

’Is this the "magical" effect His Excellency the Governor was talking about?’

They couldn’t resist picking up their glasses and taking a drink. Unlike Yang Ming, they had never experienced the Dream-Returning Wine, so the only way to understand was to try it for themselves.

Soon, both of them had downed the Dream-Returning Wine in their glasses. An indescribable emotion surged forth almost instantly.

The emotion was complex and difficult to control.

Fire Silica’s thoughts turned to his illegitimate son.

That was right—he had an illegitimate son. Back in Dalat Town, he may have been an arms dealer, but many people had wanted him dead.

One of his sons had even been murdered.

Not knowing when he himself might be taken out, he hadn’t dared bring his illegitimate son to Dalat Town.

Such things were all too common in Dalat Town.

He could only care for his son in secret.

But now he was the President of the Xuanfeng Alliance’s Xuanfeng Bank. Although he no longer had his own troops, he knew that the Wind Capital was extremely safe.

Red Lizard’s special forces wouldn’t allow any attacks to happen here.

Those people were terrifying.

Moreover, he was now President of the Xuanfeng Bank, wielding great authority. He was undoubtedly one of the elites of the Xuanfeng Alliance; even international tycoons were now taking the initiative to contact him.

Xuanfeng Bank’s influence was already immense, and it would only grow with time.

This was definitely better and more stable than his old life as an arms dealer.

So, he had brought his son back to live with him, and having the boy by his side brought him immense happiness.

Now, that feeling of happiness washed over him, and a foolish, uncontrollable smile spread across his face.

Baguda also broke into a foolish grin.

He was also very pleased with his current situation.

He was born into a poor Cambodian family and had witnessed far too much poverty and disaster. He had studied abroad in the West, acquiring all sorts of knowledge before finally returning. He had worked his way up, step by step, to his previous position, all for the sake of benefiting his people.

Unfortunately, his own abilities were limited, and he had never been able to lead his people to prosperity.

But then the Governor appeared, this land became the Xuanfeng Alliance, and he saw hope. He was particularly gratified by the changes, and seeing the rural populace praise the Xuanfeng Alliance filled him with satisfaction.

Because he knew he had played a part in it.

Now, this feeling of satisfaction came rushing out, so strong and overwhelming that he lost himself in it, savoring the sensation.

Normally, he would never lose his composure like this.

Now the two finally understood why everyone had been acting so strangely. It was the effect of the Dream-Returning Wine.

This Dream-Returning Wine was truly magical.

「Time passed.」

Gradually, the people in the banquet hall returned to normal.

They seemed somewhat disoriented, unable to immediately pull themselves out of the intense, captivating emotions they had just experienced.

It was too incredible, too intoxicating.

Louis stared blankly at his phone. He hadn’t experienced that kind of happiness since his wife passed away.

But that feeling just now had been so clear, so wonderful, so enchanting.

He instinctively glanced toward the Dream-Returning Wine.

’Could it be because of the wine?’

That state had come over him only after he’d had a drink, and it was the same for everyone else.

He was stunned.

’So this is the magical, special wine Xuanfeng Bank was talking about?’

Why do people like alcohol? The reasons vary, but one thing is certain: it can affect one’s emotions and allow one to let loose.

But no alcohol on earth possessed this power—the ability to affect emotions so profoundly and allow one to become completely immersed.

If such a wine existed, it would absolutely take the world by storm, becoming something everyone coveted. People would pay any price for it.

He knew he had completely misjudged. This was no ordinary wine.

’Xuanfeng Bank begging for our distribution channels? What a joke.’

It was they who should be begging Xuanfeng Bank to let them distribute this wine.

They could even imagine the devastating blow to their business if they didn’t carry this wine, but their competitors did.

Baguda, too, had recovered by this point.

He knew he had to take charge of the banquet. He immediately addressed the guests around him, "I trust everyone has now experienced the magical effects of this wine. I hope you’re satisfied? If you’d like to experience it again, please feel free to have the waiters pour you another glass."

Hearing this, the guests didn’t hesitate for a second, immediately signaling for the waitstaff to pour them more wine.

They had also suspected the wine was the cause.

Now that their suspicions were confirmed, why would they hesitate?

They still hadn’t fully emerged from that emotional state.

That intense emotion was too wonderful to give up.

Soon, as more glasses were emptied, the atmosphere in the banquet hall began to turn strange once more.

Baguda, however, did not drink again this time. Instead, he recalled the Governor’s words of advice. He had said the wine was special and that Baguda would understand after trying it for himself. At that point, the guests and the international distributors would surely start asking questions about it.

「Time passed.」

The effects of the Dream-Returning Wine weren’t limitless; they depended on a special element within the drink.

Under normal circumstances, this special element couldn’t affect the hippocampus, but it could when stimulated by alcohol.

Therefore, the effect’s duration depended on the depletion of that special element.

Once the special element was depleted, those who had been drinking began to slowly return to normal again.

Master Kai also recovered quickly. He subconsciously walked over to Yang Ming, who was still sipping his drink, and said with irrepressible excitement, "Brother Ming, we’re going to be rich."

Just think, there are 1.4 billion people in the country! How many of them drink?

Their distribution company was the sole domestic agent. Once this wine was rolled out, how popular would it be? How massive would the profits be? It was almost unimaginable.

He looked at Yang Ming with a hint of envy. After all, who wouldn’t want a cousin like President Lu?

As more and more people recovered, some couldn’t wait to pour themselves another drink.

Others couldn’t stop themselves from walking over to Baguda and Fire Silica, wanting to ask where they could buy this wine.

They had to get their hands on a wine like this and stock up.

Who could possibly resist a wine like this after tasting it?

Louis was the first to reach Baguda. He, more than anyone, understood the effects of the Dream-Returning Wine.

The owners of several other liquor distribution companies followed close behind, feeling embarrassed about their initial remarks.

The Dream-Returning Wine was absolutely the best wine in the world, and yet they had mocked it.

Now, their greatest fear was that they wouldn’t be able to get the distribution rights.

They were thankful Xuanfeng Bank had invited them, and even more thankful that they had come. They knew what it would mean to miss out on a wine like this.

Louis asked Baguda anxiously, "Mr. Baguda, please, is this wine difficult to produce? If it were to be sold commercially, how would one go about distributing it?"

The owners of the other liquor distribution companies also chimed in, asking eagerly:

"Yes, Mr. Baguda, how can we become an agent for this wine?"

"Mr. Baguda, what’s the production volume like?"

"How can we get the rights to distribute this wine?"

"..."

Their demeanor made it obvious they were desperate to secure the distribution rights immediately so they could take it back and start selling.

Baguda, however, ignored Louis and the others. Instead, he addressed the entire room, "Today is a banquet hosted by Xuanfeng Bank. We will not be discussing business. I simply invite you all to drink. Plenty of wine has been prepared, so please, continue to enjoy yourselves. As for other matters, we can discuss them later."

After saying this, Baguda turned without the slightest hesitation and walked out of the banquet hall with Fire Silica, never once looking back.

This, too, was a reminder from His Excellency the Governor: string them along first and let them get anxious.

These Westerners were arrogant and full of schemes. If Baguda had agreed the moment they asked, they wouldn’t take their position seriously.

Only by making them anxious and desperate could they be turned into better tools for selling the wine.

Watching Baguda and Fire Silica leave, Louis and the other owners of the international liquor distribution companies did indeed grow anxious. In fact, they were bordering on frantic.

Having discovered a fine wine that could shake up the entire international liquor industry, the inability to negotiate for it immediately would be enough to cost them sleep.
