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

Chapter 323: Chapter 310 Slaughter God_2

After securing Yamiro’s head, he split open its body and found a crescent-shaped Blood Gem at the tail.

"It’s just extra-large, huh."

Liu Zheng pursed his lips.

Despite being a superior being, the loot was just like what Dickens dropped, too unimpressive.

"Gurgurgle~"

A faint voice came from beneath him.

Liu Zheng looked down to see a small, oddly shaped creature struggling to emerge from the soil.

It was only as tall as a palm, looking pale and deformed.

The skinny arms were as thin as fingers, rendering it powerless to free itself from the clutches of the earth.

"Gurgurgle~"

It lifted its head and called out to Liu Zheng again.

"Do you want my help?"

he asked tentatively.

"Gurgurgle!"

The White Dwarf nodded.

Liu Zheng hesitated for a moment but then extended his tentacle and pulled it out.

The White Dwarf patted off the dirt from itself and then climbed up his hoof to reach his ear.

Liu Zheng didn’t react but remained on guard internally.

"Young outsider, please come to the Observatory for a while."

An elderly voice sounded in his ear.

"Who are you?"

he asked.

There was no answer. After delivering the message, the White Dwarf jumped off Liu Zheng’s shoulder, only to faceplant.

"Jijiji!"

The fall seemed to hurt it as the White Dwarf began to cry sadly, wiping tears with its tiny hands.

"Hey, it wasn’t me who made you fall."

Facing the strange looks from the crowd, Liu Zheng defended himself.

"Hey, stop crying, or I’ll curse you."

He threatened the White Dwarf again.

Hearing his words, the White Dwarf cried even louder.

"Damn it."

Liu Zheng was at a loss for words.

He was ruthless with enemies but quite helpless against such unthreatening and somewhat ugly-cute little creatures.

It’s not like he could just turn it into an ingredient for making noise, could he?

Besides, with its size, it wouldn’t even be enough for a stir-fry dish.

"Tell me, what will make you stop crying?"

he asked helplessly.

"Gurgurgle~"

The White Dwarf, while wiping tears, pointed a finger at the extra-large Blood Gem in his hand.

"So you were waiting here for me, fat chance."

Liu Zheng remarked.

Feeding someone else’s pet, he wasn’t that generous.

"Gurgurgle!"

The White Dwarf raised its volume.

"No dice means no dice; keep it up, and I’ll plant you in a dung heap."

Liu Zheng threatened.

"Gurgurgle?"

The White Dwarf looked puzzled, as if asking where the dung heap came from.

"I’ll have him do it right now. Don’t say I didn’t warn you; he’s been constipated for over a month, so whatever comes out is sure to be both hard and stinky."

He said menacingly, pointing at Xia Kai.

Xia Kai blinked innocently, then silently admitted to it.

"Gurgurgle!"

The White Dwarf was so scared that it stopped crying.

It thought for a moment, then burrowed back into the ground and quickly resurfaced with a Blood Gem.

This Blood Gem was small, but it contained a liquid that flowed like blood within.

"Gurgurgle~"

The White Dwarf pointed at its gem and then at Liu Zheng’s.

"You want to exchange this for mine?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Gurgurgle~"

The White Dwarf nodded.

He took the small Blood Gem, looking at the item’s description.

"Name: Undefined Blood Gem"

"Type: Item"

"Quality: Fine"

"Effect: Can reset the Blood Gem effects in a weapon once upon use."

"Note: Respec, respec, how should this be put?"

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

"That’s a nice item."

With this, he would dare to take a gamble on the crescent-shaped Blood Gem.

Liu Zheng was pleased inside but kept his composure.

"I’m willing to trade, but this one isn’t worth an extra-large Blood Gem. I can only give you this in exchange."

He took out a small Blood Gem.

"Gurgurgle~"

The White Dwarf made a mocking face at him, as though it was scorning his outrageous demand.

"How about this one, then?"

Liu Zheng produced a medium-sized Blood Gem.

He received another mocking face in response.

"This is the last offer; any more, and there’s no deal."

He gritted his teeth and took out a large Blood Gem.

The White Dwarf hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Very well, a pleasant trade."

Liu Zheng smiled and handed over the large Blood Gem to it.

"Gurgle gurgle!"

The White Dwarf cheered and then started gnawing on the Blood Gem.

Soon, the hard Blood Gem was chewed up and swallowed into its stomach, which then swelled up.

"Boss, why didn’t you just..."

While it was eating, Xia Kai secretly made a throat-slitting gesture.

"Why didn’t I kill you when I saw you?"

Liu Zheng countered.

"Because you, Boss, have a kind heart."

Xia Kai quickly offered up his flattery.

"Say something useful."

"Because your player mode is normal mode, you wouldn’t get any reward for killing me."

Xia Kai’s expression turned serious.

"Then I could also capture you and torment you severely, forcing you to hand over all your items."

He shook his head.

"That...would still be because you’re kind."

Xia Kai scratched his head.

"Indeed, that’s the reason."

Liu Zheng didn’t deny it.

After all, he was someone who had borne the Four Virtues; his moral standards were definitely much higher than the average in Metropolis.

"If you go to Metropolis, remember to always try to solve problems through communication first. Otherwise, you’ll die very quickly."

Out of a sense of responsibility as a boss, he still imparted a bit of experience to Xia Kai.

"I’d rather not go to Metropolis."

Xia Kai said with a bitter smile.

He knew himself well enough to know that if he went to Metropolis, he wouldn’t last three Chapters.

"Then it’s all down to your luck."

Liu Zheng shrugged.

"Gurgle gurgle!"

The White Dwarf patted its belly and pointed towards a corner of the courtyard, where a rusty iron door stood erect.

"Huh? Was there a door there before?"

He asked.

"No, Boss, I’ve been watching the surroundings the whole time, there was just a wall there."

Xia Kai said with certainty.

Fighting wasn’t his strong suit, but he could make himself useful in other ways as much as possible.

"Where does that door lead?"

Liu Zheng asked Yserna.

"This... I’ve never seen that door before either. But in that direction, it should lead to the Observatory."

Yserna pondered and said.

"What is the Observatory for?"

He asked.

"It’s for observing astrological phenomena. Before the large-scale excavation of Tommer Civilization relics, the main research focus of Carcarens Academy was actually astronomy and astrology."

Yserna explained.

"I see... then let’s not go."

Liu Zheng decisively made up his mind.

The battle with Yamiro might have appeared easy, but in actuality, he had paid the price of a powerful artifact.

Moreover, the helmet man, who had been a strong helper, was now severely injured; it was best not to complicate matters further.

"Gurgle gurgle?"

The White Dwarf tilted its head as if receiving some information.

Then, it climbed onto Liu Zheng’s shoulder once again.

"If you are looking for the Secret Library, I have already closed it. If you’re willing to have a chat with me, I can open it for you."

The aged voice spoke again.

"Stop playing tricks."

Liu Zheng snorted coldly.

Just then, the helmet man, who had been unconscious, slowly came around.

He tried to get up, but collapsed again.

After using his ultimate move back-to-back, even if he were made of iron, he wouldn’t hold up.

"How about a shot?"

Liu Zheng inquired.

The helmet man shook his head firmly.

"Then use this for now."

He took out a secret Tommer ointment and applied it to the helmet man’s chest wound.

Soon, the exposed skin regained some color.

"Give me all of your ointments; consider it a favor I owe you guys."

Liu Zheng spoke to the Gunpowder Workshop Hunters.

The Gunpowder Hunters looked at each other and silently took out the ointment from their clothes and passed it to him.

After witnessing Liu Zheng’s miracle of slaying a God, they were utterly convinced by him.

"Thanks."

Liu Zheng applied all the ointments to the helmet man’s body.

Shortly after, the latter stood up.

"How do you feel now?"

He asked.

"Clang clang!"

The helmet man banged on his head twice and waved the Thorny Blade a few times to indicate that he felt very well.

"Good, you take them to get the stuff. Whoever causes trouble, kill them. But if it’s her,"

Liu Zheng pointed to Yserna.

"Remember, don’t let her die too easily."

The helmet man nodded firmly, and Yserna managed a smile that looked worse than crying.

"Alright, go."

He waved his hand and then walked towards the iron door alone.
