Chapter 708: Alexei
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Yes, you’re not mistaken, that’s your card.” Song Junlang was honest about it. Seeing Xiao Lin’s anger in his eyes, Song Junlang did not hesitate to admit it.
Xiao Lin was actually quite rich; he had a few hundred thousand New Dollars in his card. As the sole form of currency of the colonists, New Dollars were very valuable. His few hundred thousand was already equal to a few million back on Earth. Even the local natives were perfectly willing to use New Dollars as a currency.
However, Xiao Lin’s anger quickly disappeared. That money was just a number to him. He knew that he would definitely be noticed by the new dean if he went back to use it, and he would end up getting tracked down. In this world, unlike on Earth, there were many things more valuable than money, and anything that could be solved with money was not a big issue at all.
Additionally, it was obvious that Alexei was someone that could be solved with money. He picked up the card Song Junlang handed over and put it into his computer. After some motions, his eyes lit up, and a vibrant smile appeared on his face.
After looking up again, Alexei took out two tall glasses from his cabinet, and with his bottle that he had never let go of, he filled up the glasses before filling up his own empty one. After that, he pushed it over, smiling as he said, “Friends! Let’s drink first!”
Xiao Lin was surprised. That man had just been glaring daggers at them, and in a few minutes, he was enthusiastically calling them friends. He really was a man who loved his money. However, Xiao Lin was not a good drinker, and that full glass of liquor made him tipsy just looking at it. As he hesitated and prepared to reject it, he suddenly saw a glance from Song Junlang, as well as the slight shake of his head.

“The guy makes friends through drinks, so it’s best that you don’t reject it. Drink up!” Song Junlang said in a low and steely voice.
Xiao Lin immediately understood, and under the gazes of the other two, he clenched his teeth and closed his eyes, taking up the glass and finishing it in one go. He gulped it all down into his stomach. He had been prepared to be unused to it and to even start coughing, but he did not seem to feel anything after gulping down the alcohol, not even the reddening of his face.
Could that alcohol be fake?
Was that Russian man drinking fake alcohol? Did they not all love their liquor?
Or did he suddenly become good with alcohol?
Xiao Lin’s mind was filled with confusion, and Song Junlang gulped down the alcohol as well. His face was unphased in just the same way, and he even had a polite smile on his face. Alexei was very surprised, and gave them an impressed thumbs-up gesture, laughing as he said, “The Chinese are really good friends! This feels great!”
After that, Alexei did not hesitate to gulp down his liquor, but unlike Song Junlang and Xiao Lin, he seemed to have some difficulty getting it down, and was much slower. His face reddened as well.
Xiao Lin curiously glanced to the side, and noticed that Song Junlang had taken advantage of Alexei’s drinking to slip a small white pill pack into his pocket before slapping the pocket closed, like nothing had happened.
So there had been some tampering done!
Xiao Lin sighed as he rubbed his temples; it was obvious that he had been able to down that liquor thanks to the medicine. Who knew when that guy had given him the medication.
Alexei finished his drink, not knowing that he had been tricked. However, he was not in as good a state anymore, and started to sway a little. However, his consciousness was still very clear as he happily smiled. “I should properly have a good drink with both of you one day! This isn’t any regular alcohol; it’s a very high concentration liquor that Voyna Akademiya had researched. Song Junlang, you should know well that with the increase in our skills, the regular liquors back on Earth aren’t as effective anymore, so the academy has gotten a few professors to research it.”

Song Junlang smiled and nodded. “That’s right, but the other effect of the liquor is to increase morale, allowing exhausted combatants to be able to fight to their full potential. Of course, this is all thanks to your academy!”
“You guys aren’t bad either! Our academies have always been the staunchest allies!” It was unclear whether or not it was the alcohol talking, but Alexei had a sympathetic tone to his words.
“That’s right. We’re forever friends!” Song Junlang walked up and hugged Alexei, smiling. “Then, old friend, can you tell us about the Holy Grail?”
“No problem! After all, I only chanced upon this information anyway, and I’ve never verified it. There’s no point in me trying to keep it to myself, so I’ll give it to you!” Alexei agreed before opening the back door of his office to retrieve something.
“That’s all?” Xiao Lin was stunned in the office.
“Remember, when it comes to the Russians, there’s nothing money and alcohol can’t solve. If there is, then just add more!” Song Junlang said in an educational matter.
“Was that few hundred thousand used just for the information?” Xiao Lin suddenly felt some regret for his money. He had thought that it would have gotten something more valuable.
“What else? Did you think that you could buy the Holy Grail with just that money? Furthermore, even now, what the thing looks like, whether it’s long or round, is something that no one knows. Information is already the best we can get.” Song Junlang shrugged.
The two of them did not talk for too long before Alexei quickly came out, still swaying and looking like he was about to fall over at any moment. He did not bring out much. Other than the bottle in his right hand, his left hand clutched a transparent glass bead.
The glass bead was very small, about the size of a marble, and it was not completely transparent either. There were traces of wear and tear on the surface, which reflected its age.
What was really surprising was inside the glass bead. In that small space, there was a vibrant and colorful glow to it. The glow came from a physical object. It looked quite sticky, and was a little like mercury. The object’s color constantly changed. When the bead moved, the liquid moved, and the color of the glow would change with it.
“This is it. I found it by coincidence last time. If you really want to know about the Holy Grail, then the information is within, but truthfully, I don’t think you’ll succeed! You’re not the first ones who have wanted to research this, but no one has succeeded before..” Alexei placed the bead on the table, and it was picked up by Song Junlang.
