The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?
Chapter 34: When You Have Money, You Should Spend It

Chapter 34: Chapter 34: When You Have Money, You Should Spend It

"Burp~~~"

Niu Ma let out a surprisingly long and full burp.

In front of it was a small mountain of food containers and various bottles of wine.

"You didn’t spend all the money, did you?"

Liu Zheng frowned.

"Of course not. This is all leftover food, very cheap. Do you want some? There might still be a bit left in the kitchen."

Niu Ma was still somewhat honorable.

"No need for that."

He shook his head.

The system determined they were not props, so eating them was useless.

If it wasn’t for the prop effects, who would eat this dark cuisine?

The half raw pickled fat maggot Niu Ma had just eaten was thicker than his tentacles.

"Speaking of which, you snatched that bottle of Vlad III last time, and the kitchen staff still sell you leftovers?"

"There are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests. I did pay them after all. Besides, who else would help them with their deliveries?"

Niu Ma said, shaking its head.

"The kitchen must have procurement, right?"

"Yes, but they can only go to designated places. Unlike us, we can go anywhere as long as the meals are delivered on time."

Niu Ma said proudly.

Liu Zheng pondered thoughtfully.

It seemed that each role had its advantages and disadvantages.

If he joined the kitchen, the advantage might be accessing cheap food.

As for being a waiter, the benefit would likely be tips from customers.

"Could you get me another bottle of red wine then?"

He asked.

"No way, no way."

Niu Ma’s head shook like a wind-blown dog.

"I already told you it’s limited edition; you think it’s like tap water?"

"I’m not asking for Vlad III, a lesser one would do."

Liu Zheng said.

"What for, to gift that tree?"

Niu Ma instantly understood.

"Yes."

"Maniac, you think that tree is something good. You treat it as a friend, it treats you as food."

Niu Ma scoffed.

"What about you?"

"At least I’ll only kill you, and if I’m in a good mood, I might find you a nice spot with good feng shui, so you can reincarnate as a top bull or horse."

Niu Ma argued confidently.

"It eats its food, I mind my business, no conflict here."

Liu Zheng stubbornly insisted.

Without "emergency rations," they would make half as much money.

"Damn, you humans are just too sentimental."

Niu Ma grumbled as it left.

A few minutes later, it made a phone call.

"No more red wine, how about a box of Mao Tai?"

"Mao Tai?"

"That Ascension Moss Wine you drank last time, but it’s fifteen years old."

Niu Ma said.

"Weren’t you only selling leftovers?"

"This box of Mao Tai got contaminated, has to be disposed of."

"Contaminated and you still sell it, what the hell."

"You can’t drink it, but that tree probably can. Only 10000 for a box, where else could you find such a cheap Moss Wine."

Niu Ma said.

"Alright then, front the money for now, I’ll pay you back when you get back."

Liu Zheng thought and then said.

A while later, Niu Ma came back carrying a box of wine.

Upon opening the box, inside were six beautifully packaged wine bottles.

However, the originally pure white porcelain bottles were marred with colorful stains.

Just from a brief glance, he felt dizzy and nauseous.

"Name: Fifteen-year-old Ascension Moss Wine (Contaminated)"

"Type: Prop"

"Quality: Excellent"

"Effect One: Obtain the ’Drunk’ status."

"Effect Two: Obtain the ’Bliss’ status."

"Effect Three: Obtain the ’Hemolysis’ status."

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

"Note: Pain is pleasure, Hell is paradise, praise the Supreme Bliss."

"Drunk: Temporarily lowers the player’s spirit and perception, temporarily increases strength and constitution, immune to certain spiritual attacks."

"Bliss: All the player’s sensations will be converted into pleasure, the pleasure from pain is doubled."

"Hemolysis: The player’s blood will be highly corrosive."

Good grief, a single drink and you’re blissfully dead, huh?

Liu Zheng saw that and his eyes twitched; this stuff was even more sinister than Black Mountain Goat Cub eyeball sashimi.

"What exactly contaminated it?"

He asked.

"Don’t know, seems like there was a problem during smuggling."

Niu Ma shook its head.

"Smuggling?"

"No kidding. If it had come through regular channels, we’d have returned it already. You wouldn’t have had the chance to pick it up cheap."

Niu Ma gave him a look like he didn’t know how good he had it.

"Oh. So, can I return it?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Sure,"

Niu Ma nodded.

"Huh?"

"You go return it yourself."

"Tsk."

He knew it.

After some more idle talk, the Ghost Hand stretched in.

Unsurprisingly, it gave Liu Zheng the middle finger again.

"You little punk, still so persistent."

He chuckled.

Then, taking advantage of Niu Ma’s distraction, he grabbed a bottle of wine and stuffed it into the hand of the Ghost Hand.

"Hey!"

Niu Ma immediately shouted.

"How much kickback did you take for that box of Mao Tai?"

Liu Zheng turned to ask.

"Hmm, this chicken claw is pretty mushy."

Niu Ma continued to eat, looking down.

He turned back and saw the Ghost Hand raise the wine bottle three times, then withdrew.

"What does that mean, I should find it after midnight?"

Liu Zheng was puzzled.

"Means you should bring another three bottles."

Niu Ma interjected.

"Really?"

"Not really."

"Haha."

He gave Niu Ma the middle finger in his mind.

But it was worth the try since he now had money.

"Boss, save three bottles of wine for me."

Liu Zheng said.

"You actually believed that, huh? Alright then."

After all, all of them were of poor quality, not even adding up to the kickback of that box of Mao Tai.

"Who’s taking this order?"

He picked up the delivery order.

"I’m giving it to you,"

Niu Ma feigned generosity.

It was already considering making a run for it with a bucket, naturally lacking any enthusiasm for work.

"Fine."

Liu Zheng shrugged.

He also wanted to see the effect of the Legendary Takeout Box.

He read the content on the delivery order.

"Dish: A serving of Migo Freddy’s Garlic Brain"

"Address: Jiahe New Residence District, Building 7, Apartment 1503."

"Time limit: Within one hour."

Liu Zheng checked the map; it was about four kilometers away.

There was plenty of time.

He slung the delivery box on his back, took the Mao Tai, and a black bag, and left the break room.

Opening the food carrier on the cart, a wave of garlicky steam immediately rose.

Under a thick layer of garlic sauce was a purple-red ovoid, covered in short tentacles.

It appeared still alive, the tentacles moving back and forth rhythmically.

Liu Zheng thought he heard a kind of buzzing murmur in the air.

"Sanity check passed."

The system alert suddenly sounded, snapping him back to reality.

"Man, looks like another tough nut to crack."

He plugged his ears with two tentacles, then looked at the item description.

"Name: Migo Freddy’s Garlic Brain"

"Type: Prop"

"Quality: Fine"

"Effect: Small chance of gaining the ability ’Mind Reading,’ small chance of entering the ’ear of the mind’ state."

"Note: The red-headed Migo Freddy, mumbling in the dark night."

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

"Mind Reading: The player will gain the ability to communicate mentally with others, ignoring language and race."

"Ear of the mind: The player can hear sounds that normal people cannot."

"Really a tough nut, indeed."

Liu Zheng sighed.

While the ability of Mind Reading was appetizing, the effect of the ear of the mind was also deadly.

What kind of good sound can’t normal people hear?

The sounds that normal people can’t hear, can they be good?

Especially in this strange world, it was okay when the Legendary Armor was activated, but on his return trip after delivering the meal, he might lose his sanity all along the way.

This brain, whoever wants to eat it, let them eat it.

Liu Zheng shook his head and walked into the dark corridor.
