The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?

Chapter 179: Chapter 179 Niu Ma, you dare to come!

"Mind your own business."

Niu Ma rolled his eyes.

"Then I’ll ask Dr. Nile if you won’t tell me."

"He wouldn’t tell you."

Niu Ma said smugly.

"That’s not necessarily true, he’s still hoping I’ll help Sasha find some special product to boost her intelligence."

"Hmph, even if you help Sasha turn back into human form, he wouldn’t betray me."

Niu Ma was quite confident.

"Boss, haven’t you noticed that you’ve already betrayed yourself?"

Liu Zheng said with a hollow look in his eyes.

"Eh? Damn, you dare to trick me into spilling the beans!"

Niu Ma said furiously.

"Do I even need to trick you? You blurted it all out yourself."

He pursed his lips.

"Trick me again and I’ll sew your mouth shut."

Niu Ma said irritably.

At the same time, he was also inwardly shocked, realizing that after mixing with this kid for so long, his vigilance had dropped so low.

"There’s no rule against it, what’s there not to say? With the caution you exercise, Boss, you must have covered your tracks well, right?"

Liu Zheng said.

"Of course, the work I’ve done has yet to be noticed by anyone."

"What work?"

"Why should I tell you? Come ask me for the secret when you’ve been transferred to the kitchen someday."

Niu Ma said.

"It’s not Sasha’s sickness, is it?"

He said, turning his eyes mischievously.

"Hmph, you’ve got to pay some price if you don’t want to end up as ingredients."

"Didn’t expect you’d do such a good deed, Boss."

Liu Zheng clicked his tongue in wonder.

"Hmph, if she hadn’t mentioned she had a relative who is a doctor, I wouldn’t have bothered saving her."

Niu Ma said.

In the Metropolis, knowing a doctor could be very useful.

After all, most people did not like going to the hospital for treatment.

"Mm-hmm, got it, all about benefits, no sentiment involved."

He said in agreement.

"Exactly, worthy of being human, you folks catch on quick to such matters."

Niu Ma said, offering a rare compliment.

Er, it didn’t seem like a compliment actually.

Never mind, it’s not important.

Because the phone rang again.

"The Deputy Director has agreed to your request."

Wang Manni said excitedly.

"That’s fine, then you guys go and contact that family, tell them it was the delivery guy from last time who recommended us."

Liu Zheng said.

"Sure, should I order you some delivery now?"

Wang Manni asked.

"Go ahead, and it would be better if it could last longer."

"This... okay."

Wang Manni said through gritted teeth.

If previously she was fearful of Liu Zheng’s methods, now she was afraid of his background.

It’s not scary to worship gods unless you’re holding the chief incense and can’t find the temple door.

As long as she served this big shot well, becoming a senior manager was just around the corner.

Even the position of Deputy Director...

Wang Manni hung up the phone with an unstoppable smile.

"Drinking fine wine, eating good food, getting deliveries proactively ordered for you—your life is even more carefree than mine."

Niu Ma said with a mix of envy and jealousy.

"Doesn’t that show you’re a leader who understands and cares for your subordinates?"

Liu Zheng flattered a little.

To tell the truth, it was probably a matter of mindset.

With Niu Ma’s power and connections, if he could let go and go all out, he probably wouldn’t be worse off.

But he had a family to consider, so he dared not take risks, and despite having money, he was reluctant to squander it.

Unlike Liu Zheng, who had no ties and would flee after pulling off a deal.

While they were still talking, Ghost Hand crawled in from outside.

It immediately spotted the wine box on the floor, pounced on it swiftly, and then looked at Liu Zheng with eager eyes.

Liu Zheng remained unmoved; he still vividly remembered the last time it went crazy after drinking, so there was no way he would let it drink again.

After all, this was for Ghost Hand’s own good.

Si Xue wasn’t in a good mood today, and if Ghost Hand annoyed her again, she might just throw him into the magma for cremation.

He took Ghost Hand off the liquor box and fetched a few dried little fish from the system space.

Forget about drinking, snack on some dried fish to curb the craving.

Ghost Hand reluctantly glanced at the liquor box, then stretched out a mouth and swallowed the dried fish.

Liu Zheng picked up the delivery order that had fallen on the ground.

"Meal: All Worm Banquet for one"

"Address: Block E, Suite 403, West River Center."

"Order Placed By: Manager Wang"

"Deadline: Two hours."

Same address, same person ordering.

Thinking it over, he grew curious, if the previous Manager Wang was a King Isopod, what insect had Wang Manni turned into?

"Let’s go, boss."

"Don’t forget my magazine."

Niu Ma reminded him.

"Oh."

Liu Zheng exited through the delivery passage and opened the lunchbox on the cart.

A huge green insect appeared before him.

It had gigantic antennae on its head, resembling a beetle closely, yet carried several traits of other insects.

Its body didn’t seem like normal flesh but more like metallic plastic.

"Name: All Worm Banquet"

"Type: Item"

"Quality: Excellent"

"Effect: Temporarily increase all attributes by 20 points after use, lasts for two minutes or becomes ineffective upon substantial damage."

"Note: It’s just a pile of crap, but as long as it’s rare enough, it can sell for a sky-high price."

"Can be taken out of the instance: Yes"

Nice item.

Liu Zheng drooled over the effect of the All Worm Banquet.

Although it was a temporary increase, the added value was substantial.

Adding 20 points to all attributes, he felt he could even take on a sea hag without a problem.

Unfortunately, this was considered a task item.

"Sigh."

Liu Zheng regretfully placed it back into the delivery box and then walked back through the delivery passage.

Once out of the restaurant, he headed straight for the newsstand Niu Ma had mentioned.

After walking about five hundred meters, he indeed saw a green newsstand.

The stand looked just like the old-fashioned newsstands, very square and upright.

However, it was fairly large, probably about the size of three or four security booths.

Unlike in reality, this newsstand didn’t extend its counter outside, and the windows were not open, looking like it wasn’t open for business yet.

Fortunately, when Liu Zheng reached the front of the newsstand, he still found someone inside, though they were asleep.

"Hello."

He gently tapped on the window glass.

The newsstand owner removed the newspaper covering his face,

Liu Zheng caught a glance of the content on the newspaper, but found all the characters were scrambled, even the pictures were blurry and unclear.

He then looked at the other newspapers and magazines in the newsstand and saw the same issue.

He realized this was probably a measure to prevent freeloading.

But isn’t it a bit too much to not even let us see the cover to prevent freeloading?

"What do you want to buy?"

The owner’s voice drew Liu Zheng’s attention back.

"I’d like to buy some risqué magazines."

He told the owner.

The owner looked exactly like a greasy middle-aged man, with sparse, unwashed hair for a long time, puffy and sagging eye bags, eyes full of red veins and blemishes.

Wearing a black leather jacket in such hot weather, he looked utterly unwell.

"Not for sale."

The owner straightforwardly refused him.

This was within Liu Zheng’s expectations.

"I’m buying them for Niu Ma."

He emphasized.

"Which Niu Ma?"

The owner countered.

"Uh, the Niu Ma from Bloody Restaurant delivery."

Liu Zheng had a bad feeling.

"Son of a bitch, you dare to show up?!"

The owner flew into a rage, grabbed a double-barreled shotgun from under the table, and aimed it at his head.
