Chapter 243: Chapter 240: Can’t Win at All, I Don’t Understand (2 in 1)_2

About two minutes later, the sound of the coffin lid opening echoed, and a bandage-wrapped hand grabbed onto Liu Zheng’s ribs, dragging him out of the coffin.

"Bang!"

As the stone coffin was closed, the scorching sensation also vanished immediately.

Liu Zheng stood in place, waiting for his body to regenerate.

After a while, his vision finally returned.

And Liu Zheng also saw the Doctor Nile before him, along with his charred right hand.

"It’s okay, I’m a descendant of the Sun God, this little burn will heal after I pray a few more times," Doctor Nile said, trying to sound casual.

"What’s inside the stone coffin?"

Liu Zheng asked curiously.

Doctor Nile hesitated for a moment but still disclosed it to him.

"It’s one of Ra’s eyes."

"Ah? People can dig out the eyes of gods?"

Liu Zheng exclaimed in shock.

Such a low-level god; no wonder their descendants are nearly eaten to extinction.

"It’s not what you think. I used the term ’eye’ for the sake of your understanding, but indeed, it is part of Divine Power," explained Doctor Nile.

"Alright."

He didn’t ask any further.

It clearly was the clinic’s biggest secret, and the fact that Doctor Nile was willing to share so much already indicated a great deal of trust in him.

"I’ve implanted a strand of Ra’s radiance into your body. As soon as you trigger the ’Angry Fire Burning Body’ state, your whole body will burst into Sun Flame," Doctor Nile continued.

"Sun Flame’s lethality is significant, but it will also cause harm to you. If you didn’t have the ability to regenerate flesh and blood, I wouldn’t have dared to let you use it. Moreover, you must come to me as soon as you return to retract it; otherwise, the Sun Flame will become uncontrollable."

Doctor Nile looked at Liu Zheng with eyes that seemed slightly off.

He had seen other races with regenerative abilities, but none as perverse as Liu Zheng’s.

Having been burned to such a state, yet he recovered in just a few minutes without a trace left.

With such an ability, no wonder he flourished in a place like the Bloody Restaurant.

By the way, rather than working in delivery, this guy should probably be more suitable for the kitchen, right?

"I’m leaving now,"

Liu Zheng had no clue about Doctor Nile’s thoughts and casually bid farewell, preparing to leave.

"Oh oh, sure."

Doctor Nile snapped out of his thoughts and escorted him to the front hall.

"Wait, wait a moment."

Right before Liu Zheng stepped out of the clinic, Cheng Xiaomei called after him.

"What is it?"

He turned to ask.

"I don’t have much to give you, but this amulet was made by me and my son for you; I hope you won’t disdain it."

Cheng Xiaomei said shyly, handing a red-string amulet to Liu Zheng.

Within the hollow pouch of the amulet, a crookedly written "Safety" was inscribed on a small card.

"This is the best gift I’ve ever received."

He took the amulet, looked at it intently, and then placed it in the pocket of his Legendary Armor.

Feeling the sincerity in Liu Zheng’s words, Cheng Xiaomei raised her head to reveal a girl’s timid and pure smile, then covered her face and ran into the back room.

"Looks like I can’t let Sasha receive you anymore," Doctor Nile remarked quietly on the side.

"Ah, why?"

He didn’t catch on immediately.

"The married woman is already charmed by you to such an extent; a simple-minded young girl wouldn’t stand a chance," Doctor Nile intently eyed him.

"That, um, things aren’t really what you think..."

Liu Zheng tried to clear his name.

"No need to explain. Sasha is about to wake up; you better leave quickly, or don’t blame me for being unsympathetic," Doctor Nile interrupted, speaking bluntly.

Though feeling misunderstood, Liu Zheng could do nothing but leave the clinic speechlessly under the pressure of the older father figure.

Outside the clinic, the Sphinx had rolled over onto its belly, closing its eyes to bask in the sun.

At the sound of his exit, it merely twitched its ears without looking like it intended to pay him any attention.

However, the food on the ground had all been enjoyed.

Liu Zheng smiled, gave the Sphinx’s belly a rub through the air, and then drove off in his Ferrari.

The Sphinx opened its eyes, stretched a paw to rub its belly, looking rather perplexed.

Having left the clinic, Liu Zheng arrived near the West River Center.

Of course, he didn’t go inside; he didn’t even enter the field of vision of the West River Center.

Having barely postponed his meeting with Peacock, he surely wasn’t going to rush to his death.

Liu Zheng made a phone call, and after a short while, Wang Manni emerged from around the corner.

She was extremely cautious as she came out, constantly looking back as if worried that someone was following her.

"Did you bring the stuff?"

He asked in a low voice,

"Ah? What item?"

Wang Manni was totally confused.

"Nothing, just kidding. Pay no attention to it,"

Liu Zheng shook his head and said.

One look at this woman and you knew she hadn’t watched enough crime dramas; she couldn’t even follow up on such a classic line.

"All right. The Deputy Director is very satisfied with the private tutor you recommended. This is something he entrusted me to give you. Of course, I also made some suggestions,"

Wang Manni subtly took credit for herself.

He took the gift box Wang Manni handed over, opened it, and saw a USB drive inside.

"Name: Internet Company Slang Compendium"

"Type: Item"

"Quality: Fine"

"Effect: After inserting it into the target’s body, a deluge of Internet company jargon causes the target’s thoughts to become muddled. The less the target knows about Internet company jargon, the more effective it is."

"Note: Who understands the words you guys say? That’s the point."

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

Another control item, not bad.

I have to say, Wang Manni’s suggestion was quite thoughtful.

With the true damage bonus from the Legendary Armor, his attack strength was actually not weak; he just lacked means to strike the enemy.

"Don’t worry, I’m the type who prefers old over new. As long as you don’t screw up, I will always support you. The higher you climb, the happier I’ll be,"

Liu Zheng put away the USB drive, glanced at her, and said.

"Rest assured, Manni will always be good,"

Wang Manni said obediently.

Her mutated limbs combined with her enchanting face did have a certain unique beauty to them.

Unfortunately, Liu Zheng wasn’t one to appreciate it.

"I’m leaving, don’t forget what I’ve said,"

He warned Wang Manni once more, then turned and left.

Wang Manni’s face kept a sweet smile, which didn’t fade even after the Ferrari disappeared from view.

After wandering around outside, Liu Zheng finally finished dealing with all the leeks he could harvest.

Technically, there were still leeks to harvest, like the newsstand’s owner.

Without him, it would be difficult to find someone else who could crack the CD with that pure meat sausage.

But Liu Zheng thought about it and decided against it, what you gain comes with a price, and he already had more than enough unfulfilled tasks. Best not to look for trouble.

Plus, the items he now had were plentiful, and given the newsstand owner’s abilities, it was unlikely he could provide any transformative help.

"You look like you’ve gained quite a haul,"

Back in the lounge, Niu Ma glanced at him and said.

"It’s all thanks to everyone’s help,"

Liu Zheng modestly said.

"I just don’t know where you get your charm from, kid, hooking up with so many people in such a short time,"

Niu Ma said with a touch of envy.

Though he couldn’t see the items stashed in the system space, he could sense the complex aura clinging to him.

"It’s all thanks to you, big guy. Many people are willing to deal with me because of your face,"

Liu Zheng quickly delivered a flattering remark.

"Hm, that’s actually the truth,"

Niu Ma looked much more pleased.

Take Doctor Nile, for instance. If it weren’t for the fact that Niu Ma was the big boss of the delivery department, he would have shut the door and set Scarlet Beetles on him as soon as they met.

"Enough, Napoleon is urging me over the phone. Get going,"

Niu Ma waved a hoof and said.

"Got it."

Liu Zheng was just about to leave when Niu Ma called out to him again.

"Hey, wait up."

"What’s up, big guy?"

He turned back.

"I know you’re not afraid to fight to the death, but there are some battles you can’t win, and there’s no need to fight in those, you know?"

Niu Ma said indifferently.

"I don’t understand the concept of a battle I absolutely can’t win,"

Liu Zheng paused for a moment, then said with a smile.

"Since I came to the delivery department, I’ve only faced enemies I couldn’t beat. If I didn’t fight hard, I would have been dead long ago."

"Besides, if I don’t come back, how will you go on vacation, big guy? I’m still waiting for Little Niu Ma to recognize me as a godfather."

He chuckled.

"Nonsense, you’re not fit to be my daughter’s godfather!"

Niu Ma suddenly stood up and kicked him out of the lounge with one hoof.

"Get lost, get lost, don’t let me see you again, or I’ll kick the shit out of you."

The door slammed shut, and once again the lounge was left with that large, lonely figure.
