While Others Cultivate, I LVL UP In My Sleep Using The Dungeon System

Adam was still underage in America, but he could drink in China if he wanted to. And it wasn't like he previously truly cared about the law, it was just that drinking never appealed to him. 

Even in his darkest and most painful moments, drinking and doing drugs to forget about the pain was something that never once crossed his mind. 

He would rather do anything else than allow his mind to be influenced by an external substance and lose control of himself, while also damaging his body. 

But now at his level of strength and with his unbelievably powerful body, the mental and harmful of alcohol wouldn't affect him. 

Although he could intentionally slow down his metabolism so that the drunken effect lasts longer, or he could take super concentrated alcohol that was made for cultivators, which many would opt to do, he didn't want to feel drunk. 

But his curiosity made it so that he at least wanted to try it and see what so many people were so obsessed with. 

He knew that for most it wasn't the taste that they savoured, but what came after, but he at least wanted to try it. 

Su Lan agreed to give it a taste and knew it wouldn't have any effect on them, as she picked up a random bottle and flicked off the cork.

Pouring a small glass for herself and Adam, they both took a sip at the same time while looking at each other and had a similar reaction. 

It was bitter and didn't taste nice at all, while it burnt the back of their throats as it went down. 

They definitely wouldn't choose to drink it again, but it wasn't too bad and thinking about all of their own suffering, they could understand why some drown themselves in the stuff. 

Moving it aside, they both poured themselves some juice as they laughed at their similar reactions and waited for their food. 

Su Lan could see that Adam was dying to eat and knew that eating and relaxing would ease the mood, so waited until after they had eaten for them to talk about some matters privately and comfortably.

Quickly waiters began bringing in all sorts of dishes, with some being ones that Adam recognised, and others being ones he was eager to try. 

It was known for its grilling like Su Lan had said, and they didn't hold back, bringing all sorts of food, with most of it being Chinese food that Adam loved.

Eating, he was reminded of his aunt's cooking and just the thought of her made his eyes flash with anger and regret, but only Su Lan had managed to notice the slight flash in his eyes. 

After eating enough to feed a large family for a week, Adam lay back in his chair and had a satisfied expression. 

He had been so engrossed in his food that he hadn't bothered to look at Su Lan, and was shocked to see that she had eaten even more than him. 

"What's the problem?" she asked seeing the shock on his face. 

Reassuring her that there wasn't a problem, he went on to mumble, "I guess girls can eat a lot sometimes."

Su Lan tutted and seemed to have gotten slightly annoyed by the comment, but then seeing that Adam was laughing, she couldn't help but also smile. 

Wanting somewhere smaller and more comfortable to speak privately in, Su Lan instructed the manager to prepare a lounge for them to speak in. 

Obviously, the manager went and did so, but just as she was about to leave the private hall, she mumbled something under her breath that Adam and Su Lan were able to hear clearly. 

"That fat pig bitch bossing me around. One day I will..." 

However, before she could even finish, her body was suddenly enveloped in darkness as she fell to her knees. 

Su Lan, unlike when Adam teased her, was furious when it came from her, but before she even had to act, the manager came crawling towards her. 

"Please forgive me. I am the fat pig," she pleaded repeatedly as she moved around on the ground like an animal and made pig noises. 

She even went as far as to try and kiss Su Lan's feet, which confused her. 

What the hell just happened and caused her attitude to change so drastically and so abruptly?

Looking over at Adam who had a smile on his face and seemed amused by everything that was occurring, there was no one else other than him who would or could do such a thing. 

But how exactly was he able to do it? 

Whatever he did was instantaneous and even she was unable to sense it, which just didn't make sense. 

Then suddenly, the manager snapped out of it while in the middle of kissing Su Lan's feet and jumped up, wondering to herself why she had acted the way she did. 

Little did she know, with Adam's powerful killing intent and the Charm Skill, using illusions and getting weaklings like her to do things was easy. 

"Run along and prepare us a lounge, like Su Lan instructed you to, fat pig," Adam ordered her as she woke up from the daze she had been in. 

"How dare yo..." she yelled, not feeling intimidated by Adam despite him winning the tournament, as he didn't seem to have a powerful background and was merely a friend of Su Lan's. 

However, before she could even finish what she was going to say or Su Lan jumped in to intervene, she collapsed to her knees and urinated in her clothes. 

She looked at Adam as if she was looking at the devil himself and everyone that was watching was amazed by the fact that a single look from him had brought her to her knees. 

Su Lan looked at Adam with adoration and gratefulness but also intimidation and curiosity, in her eyes, while the waiters scrambled to get the manager out of there.

Adam leant back in his chair with his stomach on the verge of exploding and just watched in amusement.

Meanwhile, Su Lan couldn't help but stare at him in awe.
