Chapter 3 - Delicious Poisoned Wine

I didn't expect to be starving after transmigrating. What am I going to do?

Chen Chen walked out of the burger shop, aimlessly wandering the streets.

He pondered as he walked, wondering where he could get a large sum of money.

Rob a bank? As a transmigrator, that would be too low-class. Be a rich man's bodyguard? That could earn a lot, but the money would come too slowly, not meeting his needs.

"How to get money fast?" Chen Chen stroked his chin. It would definitely be the fastest to get money without any capital.

Thinking about the thirty-something dollars he got from the black man who tried to rob him, an idea immediately struck him. He could get money from the street thugs. They had ill-gotten gains to begin with. Chen Chen wouldn't feel guilty about taking money from them.

Moreover, the thugs wouldn't report it to the police, lest they alert the local authorities and cause a lot of trouble.

With an idea in mind, Chen Chen began to look for targets.

The sky was darkening, and before long, the "The Nightless" bar, with its dazzling neon sign, came into view.

A smile spread across Chen Chen's face. Bars were places where anything could happen; they were full of thugs and gang members. This was the place!

Moreover, he wanted to see what a beautiful country's bar looked like, whether it was as decadent as the rumors said.

However, before entering the bar, Chen Chen decided to test his defensive capabilities, just to be cautious.

He picked up a nail from the side of the road and used its sharp point to scratch his arm. Under the force of several hundred kilograms, the sharp nail only left a white mark on his skin. After rinsing with water, the mark disappeared without a trace.

Chen Chen was greatly relieved. Although he possessed an immortal demon body, it wasn't a good idea to show off such an astonishing self-healing ability in front of everyone. With sufficient defensive capabilities, he could avoid revealing his abilities and causing trouble.

He pushed open the bar's door, and the interior was bustling. Loud heavy metal music thumped, and with the effects of alcohol, people were lost in their own world as they twisted their bodies. In the dim and noisy bar, all sorts of transactions were constantly taking place.

Chen Chen saw with his own eyes a white-haired burly man stuffing a wad of cash into a bar girl's behind,

Then, he gently patted the lady's rear, and the two of them embraced and entered the private booth next door.

Human desires and bestial instincts were freely unleashed here. As long as you had money, you could do almost anything you wanted.

Chen Chen casually chose a spot in the bar and sat down with a swagger: "Bartender, a drink. The strongest one you have."

Soon, a bartender brought over a cocktail with a rosy hue.

At the same time, he introduced it: "Bloody Manhattan, made with whiskey, brandy, lemon peel juice, and mint. It's our most famous drink."

Chen Chen had heard of the name of this so-called cocktail queen, 'Bloody Manhattan', and his interest was piqued. He immediately took the drink, tilted his head, and downed it in one gulp.

Although Chen Chen couldn't appreciate the nuances of the drink, he could still taste the slightly numbing yet refreshing sensation as it entered his mouth. It was indeed a famous cocktail with high popularity.

As the cocktail entered his stomach, Chen Chen was surprised to find a peculiar tingling sensation spreading through his body.

At the same time, Chen Chen felt a stream of information.

'Energy 128'

Drinking alcohol could replenish his Energy?

Chen Chen widened his eyes in astonishment, then was overjoyed. If drinking alcohol could replenish Energy, then if he ordered a few hundred drinks, wouldn't his Energy soar? He would soon be able to level up his Demonman again?

Immediately, he shouted:

"Good liquor! Bring me a few more!"

Soon, the bartender brought the second drink.

Chen Chen picked up the cocktail and drank it all in one gulp.

'Energy 117'

He savored it carefully, feeling it was somewhat different from the previous drink, but couldn't quite put his finger on what was different.

After downing the first glass, Chen Chen, seeing that no new cocktail was being served, couldn't help but shout in dissatisfaction:

"Waiter, bring the drinks! Bring a few more."

The bartender's expression was a little subtle, but he still brought the new cocktail over.

Chen Chen was very satisfied with the energy intake and refreshing taste, and gulped down the drink in large mouthfuls.

The drinks were brought one by one, and Chen Chen drank them down in one gulp each time.

'Energy 129'

'Energy 113'

Unknowingly, there were already over a dozen empty glasses on the table.

It was unknown what exactly was added to this cocktail, but a mere dozen glasses actually brought Chen Chen over a thousand points of Energy.

Although Chen Chen, possessing the Demonman physique, wouldn't get drunk, the pervasive smell of alcohol still left him slightly tipsy.

"My Energy has already reached a thousand points, enough to advance my Demonman form to the third stage. Upgrade immediately!"

Chen Chen issued the command in his mind, and a surge of heat immediately erupted from all over his body, an unusual tingling sensation shooting directly from his tailbone to the top of his head.

Majin Buu Form, Stage Three!

Chen Chen felt the sudden surge of power within him, and a smile couldn't help but curve his lips.

"Hahaha~"

Just as he was immersed in experiencing the power within him, a burst of laughter suddenly came from the side, startling Chen Chen.

He didn't know when, but the bustling, lively bar had become deserted. Only a dozen or so trendily dressed guys were sparsely scattered around, subtly surrounding Chen Chen.

A tall black man walked out from the bar's back room. It was him who had emitted the boisterous laughter.

Chen Chen looked up at the man, slightly frowning. This black man was none other than the one who had tried to rob him during the day, the guy named Daniel.

Seeing Chen Chen move, Daniel was first taken aback, "You're actually still alive?"

Then he laughed loudly, "You wouldn't go to heaven, but you rush into hell. You actually dared to come to my bar. How is it? How does the Cyanide and Muscle Relaxant taste in the drinks?"

Chen Chen suddenly understood. No wonder a few drinks could give him so much Energy; it turned out they had added something.

Evidently, the Demonman system had judged these poisons as attacks, which was why Chen Chen had gained Energy.

Chen Chen hadn't expected to meet Daniel here. He chuckled, "What gives you the courage to say this to me? I think it's you who is courting death."

With that, Chen Chen stood up. After obtaining the Undying Demon Body, his physical structure was no longer that of a normal person. The Cyanide that would be extremely poisonous to ordinary people wasn't even worth a fart to Chen Chen.

Daniel was shocked and instinctively took a few steps back, knocking over the chairs and tables behind him.

"How... how is this possible? How can you still stand up? With that dose of Muscle Relaxant, even ten elephants should be on the ground by now."
