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

Chapter 241: Chapter 239: What? Nightingale is the Main Wife

"Brother Sha, you should wear it yourself."

Although the item’s effects were tempting, Liu Zheng still declined.

After all, Sha Jiang was still being hunted, and no one could guarantee that the Security Bureau wouldn’t find their way to the sewer.

Moreover, the social status of a Bloody Restaurant delivery worker probably wasn’t low, and he couldn’t fully utilize the equipment’s effects.

"If I’m giving it to you, just wear it, or it’ll be like you’re disrespecting me, Brother Sha."

Sha Jiang forcefully draped the Dragon Robe Funeral Clothes over him.

"Alright, I’ll wear it then, thanks, Brother Sha."

Liu Zheng didn’t refuse anymore.

The Fisherman watched from the side, his eyelid twitching. This vagrant was setting such a high bar that what he initially prepared seemed a bit embarrassing to offer now.

But for him to provide something similar, he truly didn’t have it.

Unlike Sha Jiang and Oynk, who were mighty due to their acquired training, the Fisherman’s strength mainly stemmed from tapping into his racial talents.

The sewer was also not a suited place to accumulate such external objects.

After thinking, he broke off a finger and handed it to Liu Zheng.

"When you need to use it, just throw it, and it can become any fishing gear."

The Fisherman said.

"Can it become a fishing boat?"

Liu Zheng’s mind sparked with the idea.

"I could turn you into a fishing boat."

The Fisherman replied with a twitch of his lips.

"Well, that won’t be necessary."

He looked at the wall, the shelter’s door hadn’t appeared.

Liu Zheng felt a bit regretful; if he could snatch some leeks from the Red Ghost, this overseas trip would be even more promising.

But perhaps it was for the best as he definitely had to deal with City Hall this time, and it was hard to say whether the items provided by the Red Ghost could cause any disturbances.

After greeting the two, Liu Zheng left the sewer and immediately rushed to Jidao Public Bath.

This time, Guo Koutangzi was waiting outside with the Seasoning Quartet.

"Boss, this is the soup Sister Head stewed carefully just for you."

Upon Guo Koutangzi’s cue, Chili Head carried over the pot.

Liu Zheng lifted the lid, and a rich aroma hit his nose; the broth inside was thick as milk and topped with a thick layer of oil.

"Name: Jidao Group’s Secret Nutrient Soup"

"Type: Item"

"Quality: Fine"

"Effect: Restores a huge amount of stamina."

"Note: Here comes the top-notch chicken soup, oh grandma, why not drink it?!"

"Can it be taken out of the instance: Yes"

"Drink it now, the effect won’t be as good once you leave this pot,"

Guo Koutangzi spoke indifferently.

"Okay."

Liu Zheng used four tentacles to lift the pot at once, the body of the pot slightly tilted, and the soup poured into his mouth like a waterfall.

His throat continuously moved as the pot of soup gradually reached the bottom.

"Burp~"

Liu Zheng belched contently.

He could feel the warm currents flowing into his stomach, stored by the regenerating organs.

"Boss, we’ll wait for you to come back and lead us on a big endeavor."

Chili Head said, and the Onion, Ginger, and Garlic trio nodded vigorously.

"Alright. While I’m away, keep a low profile, especially keep an eye on our big sister and prevent her from offending anyone."

Liu Zheng cautioned.

"Yes!"

The Seasoning Quartet pressed their hands to their pants and then bowed deeply.

It’s uncertain to which statement they were responding with their "yes."

Guo Koutangzi gave him a glance, still holding a grudge about that time she had asked him for security.

After leaving Jidao Public Bath, Liu Zheng then dashed off to the "Red Witch" board game hall.

Of course, before heading there, he didn’t forget to swing by Unlucky Coffee to pick up some coffee and desserts.

As expected, the moment he got off, the Witch statue turned to look at him.

"Lady Witch, a small gift, offered humbly."

Liu Zheng obediently offered the tribute.

The bag containing coffee and desserts automatically flew up to the roof, but the Witch statue kept staring at him, with the sound of thunder faintly perceptible in the air.

"It’s not that I don’t want to play board games, I just really don’t have time. I’m about to go abroad to purchase goods for the restaurant, how about we talk when I get back?"

He said cautiously.

The Witch statue stared at Liu Zheng for a while, then closed one of its eyes.

The eye that didn’t close fell out of its socket and disappeared in mid-fall.

The next second, a symbol of an eye appeared in the middle of the inverted pentagram on his tentacle, and the sound of thunder also vanished.

"Here we go again..."

Liu Zheng sighed.

Why did all these powerful beings in the Metropolis like to stamp him with their marks? Did they all have a Qing dynasty illness or what?

It’s not like he was some antique calligraphy, painting, or historic site.

He walked into the board game cafe, where Nightingale and the Mermaid were sitting on the couch waiting for him, and Vampire Sister immediately ran out from behind the front desk upon seeing him.

"Come on, let’s go get our marriage certificate now."

She clung to Liu Zheng’s lower leg and said.

"Stop messing around, it’s illegal to refine copper."

Liu Zheng set her aside.

Having not seen her for a few days, Vampire Sister still looked like a primary school student.

"This isn’t even my real form. Once I’ve recovered from my injuries, I’ll turn back into an elder sister."

She said indignantly.

"Even if you calculate it by the vampire’s age, you’re still a minor."

Liu Zheng mercilessly pointed out.

"Liu Zheng, you’re bullying me! Wah!"

Vampire Sister’s body had transformed into that of a child and her intelligence seemed to have regressed as well; she opened her mouth as if to start crying loudly.

Quick on his feet, he stuffed a dried fish into her mouth, silencing her.

"That batch of goods has been sold, but the final payment hasn’t been settled yet. We three had a discussion and pooled resources to buy this for you."

Nightingale, standing in a regal pose, pulled out a pole with an inverted triangle flag from her cannon.

"Name: Contrary Flag"

"Type: Prop"

"Quality: Fine"

"Effect: The player makes a flag for themselves, causing reality to develop in the opposite direction of the flag. If the flag’s feasibility is too low, it will not take effect."

"Note: I would rather starve to death, die out there, jump down from here, than eat any of your food! So delicious!"

"Can it be taken out of the instance: Yes"

"How’s the homeschooling going?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Not bad. I’ve figured out the problem with that wax doll kid as well; there was a fault in his intelligence core in his brain. After I fixed it, his academic performance improved greatly. That vice president’s kid has him as a role model and has been studying harder."

Nightingale said with a smile.

It was apparent, she not only didn’t mind tutoring; she rather enjoyed it.

"Good. While I’m gone, keep a low profile. If there’s any trouble, don’t think about fighting it head-on; just run to the sewer. If you can’t make it to the sewer, head to Rose Street or Dr. Nile’s clinic, there are people there who will cover for you."

He instructed.

"And you, just honestly work in the board game cafe. The organizations your blood relatives are involved in might still come looking for trouble."

Liu Zheng ruffled Vampire Sister’s head.

"When I come back, I’ll take you to Du Kang Wine Workshop to buy wine."

"When you set your own flag, shouldn’t you first put away that flag?"

The Mermaid said with a peculiar expression.

"It’s fine, it won’t take effect if I don’t use it. I might still need your mother’s keepsake, so I’ll keep it with me for now."

He said, looking at the Mermaid.

"I wasn’t planning on asking for it back anyway."

The Mermaid turned her face away, muttering softly.

"Liu Zheng, kiss kiss!"

Vampire Sister flapped her little bat wings, flew up, and planted a big, wet kiss on his cheek.

"... Keep an eye on her too. I’m afraid she’ll get kidnapped the moment she steps outside with that brain."

Liu Zheng pulled her down, a look of exasperation on his face.

Ignoring Vampire Sister’s protests, he turned and left the board game cafe and headed straight for Dr. Nile’s clinic.
