The Horrifying Juice and the Determination to Win

Chapter 47

The Horrifying Juice and the Determination to Win

At this moment, on the court, Qingfeng Dahui, Chiti Zhengshilang, and several others were gathered around.
Seeing Ziyuan Dun with a face like he had just eaten filth, his expression extremely distorted in pain, Qingfeng spoke up first and asked:
"What's wrong, Ziyuan Dun? Has this training intensity already started making you vomit?"
"It seems your stamina still needs more training."
However, at this moment, Ziyuan Dun said:
"You don't understand... this thing..."
"Blech...!"
"This thing tastes like the devil!!"
Hearing this, everyone's faces were blank. The taste of the devil? What kind of taste is that?
"Li Zhongshu, what is that thing?"
"Did Ziyuan Dun just drink that?"
At this moment, Qingfeng Dahui asked curiously. And Li Zhongshu, hearing these words, nodded:
"Not bad, it's exactly this."
"What is this drink called?"
"I call it, the Supreme Juice."
"Supreme Juice?"
"Yes, that's right."
Li Zhongshu nodded firmly.
Looking at this large glass of dark green liquid, although Qingfeng Dahui's mind associated it with various test subjects from Resident Evil, for some reason at this moment, Aomine suddenly said:
"Give me some to taste too, let me have some Supreme Juice."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
At this moment, Qingfeng Dahui mainly wanted to see what kind of drink could make Ziyuan Dun end up in such a state. He didn't think a drink could possibly taste that bad. Even before, when he drank that bright red 'Scream' drink, his face didn't flush and his heart didn't skip a beat. It was fine.
However, Li Zhongshu warned him:
"This thing, I'm afraid it doesn't taste very good. Are you sure?"
But without waiting for Qingfeng Dahui to answer, Ziyuan Dun spoke first:
"Give him a glass!!"
"..."
Seeing Qingfeng Dahui nod, not believing in the 'evil', Li Zhongshu smiled.
Oh well, they requested it themselves, so don't blame me.
Thus, he poured a bit for Qingfeng Dahui. Qingfeng Dahui looked at it; there were only about a dozen milliliters of liquid in the cup. He had a look of contempt.
"Only this much, sigh."
Qingfeng Dahui felt Ziyuan Dun was too weak. It was just a little drink; no matter how bad it tasted, how bad could it be? He casually took it, then, while everyone watched intently, he downed it in one go.
At this moment, Chiti Zhengshilang, who was nearby, asked curiously:
"How is it? Does it taste good?"
Qingfeng Dahui swallowed it. Then he gave a thumbs up:
"Sweet, tastes good..."
"This thing is truly too good... good... Blech!!"
Originally trying to hold it in, Qingfeng Dahui finally couldn't resist his body's instinctive emergency mechanism. He directly started retching on the side.
At this moment, Ziyuan Dun, seeing Qingfeng Dahui like this, instantly grinned:
"Hahahaha, I told you already, do you believe me now!"
"Hahaha... Blech, hahahaha!"
***
Looking at the state of these two.
Everyone present was stunned. Their gazes toward Li Zhongshu became even more wary.
At this moment, Li Zhongshu held up the glass of "Supreme Juice" in his hand and looked toward them.
"Does anyone else want a taste?"
"Um... no."
"No need, no need, you're too kind."
"Haha... We don't have the fortune to enjoy this thing."
"That's right, that's right, thank you for the Vice Captain's kind offer..."
Including Chiti Zhengshilang, several people kept backing away, scared out of their wits.
However, at this moment, Hongcun Xiucang walked over with great interest, evaluating the glass of Supreme Juice in Li Zhongshu's hand.
"Ah~ so this is the thing you were talking about."
"It looks like it's not too bad."
At this moment, the expressions of the others were as if they were looking at a monster as they looked at Hongcun Xiucang. Good grief. Weren't the examples of Qingfeng Dahui and Ziyuan Dun enough to warn you!! Captain!!! This thing is going to take a life.
And Li Zhongshu said with a smile:
"Captain, want some?"
Although Hongcun Xiucang wasn't afraid, he only said:
"Wait a bit, if there's a chance, I'll taste it."
"Right, shouldn't you also talk to them a bit about the next arrangement?"
After saying this, Li Zhongshu nodded.
"Yes, exactly."
So, Li Zhongshu immediately called everyone over and said:
"Come here, everyone gather around."
"I have some things I want to tell you."
At this moment, the others also walked over, including Qingfeng Dahui and Ziyuan Dun who had just been retching. After drinking some water, the two of them were much better.
Li Zhongshu said:
"In a moment, we're going to start changing our training model a bit."
"We've done quite a bit of five-on-five training these past two days, but the effect can only be said to be so-so."
"After all, local coordination is between two people; let's master this most basic thing first."
"Therefore, the best training method is two-person group training."
"Of course, your training groups will be designated by me, and then you'll conduct two-on-two rotating confrontations with others."
"Understood?"
Everyone nodded. Really... This wasn't a problem. Everyone's expressions didn't change much; they were basically used to it. They even held hands, saying things like training is primary, winning or losing is secondary.
But right at that moment, Li Zhongshu suddenly said:
"However, there's one more rule I hope you can understand."
"That is, the losing group must receive a little punishment~"
***
***
In an instant, a chill rushed from the soles of their feet straight to the top of their heads. Everyone shuddered in an instant. An unpleasant thought immediately flashed through their minds.
They glanced toward the glass of Supreme Juice. Then they swallowed hard.
"It couldn't be... that the punishment you're talking about is this, right?"
At this moment, Li Zhongshu smiled, looking very warm and gentle.
"Not bad."
"Each person on the losing team must drink a sip of my specially made Supreme Juice."
"Right, it's a full glass."
"But don't worry, everyone; this is healthy fresh vegetable juice, it's good for your bodies."
Hearing this, the expressions on everyone's faces instantly changed. Especially Qingfeng Dahui and Ziyuan Dun, who had just been heavily victimized. The expressions on their faces were extremely serious.
"Must win!"
"Even if I have to risk my life, I must win!!!"
"No matter what, we must take this match!"
"I absolutely will not drink that thing ever again, absolutely!!!"
***
Seeing the crowd so full of enthusiasm, Li Zhongshu was very pleased.
It seemed his painstaking efforts weren't in vain.
"Alright, then I'll first talk about the group arrangements."
"Qingfeng Dahui, your partner is..."
"Ziyuan Dun!"
Immediately, the two of them looked at each other in a daze, then said in unison:
"No way, I'm with him?!!!"
