Chapter 379: Chapter 338 The Legendary Delivery Man Set is Complete_2

Looking at the situation, it seemed that the Jinzi clan all worked in the bathhouse district, their wages were possibly higher than his, but likely only by a limited amount.

Willing to pay such a high price to save someone, this was out of keeping with the ethos of Metropolis.

"Seiko’s situation is special; she is the person in our clan most likely to awaken the ancestral bloodline in a hundred years, so the three hundred thousand was collectively funded by our clanspeople," Jinzi explained when she saw his doubt.

"I see,"

Liu Zheng realized with some curiosity.

What exactly is this ancestral bloodline awakening of the bathhouse clan— an innate technique of a saintly body?

"If her lineage is so important, shouldn’t you be protecting her properly? Why let her work in such dangerous places?"

he wondered aloud.

The child of wealth should not sit in harm’s way, this principle should apply in Metropolis as well.

"Our clan’s situation is unique; we can only work in places similar to bathhouses. And for Seiko to awaken the ancestral bloodline, she must work in a high-end bathhouse,"

Jinzi explained.

"Then, having worked so long in the bath industry, how come you haven’t managed to deal with her boss?"

"No matter how long someone has worked, they are still just an employee, isn’t that clear to Zheng Chan, who has done so well at the Bloody Restaurant?"

A wistful smile appeared on Jinzi’s face.

"Hmm, that’s true,"

he conceded.

Indeed, even reaching the status of a legendary delivery man, if you go against your boss, you would still end up gone without a trace.

"So how can I help you?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"If Zheng Chan has such connections, it would be best if you could mediate for us and safely bring Seiko out,"

Jinzi said hopefully.

"I can’t really think of anyone right now. I only know one person slightly related to the bathhouse district, but you probably know more than me. Moreover, its mental state is unstable, so it’s unlikely that we can get much information from it,"

he said, shaking his head.

"Anyway, it’s good as long as there’s a chance,"

"Alright, I’ll give it a try later, but you all have to reimburse my expenses,"

Liu Zheng said.

It cost money to enter the cemetery, and last time he got fleeced by the Tomb Guardian, and he figured they wouldn’t let him off this time either.

However, he could take the opportunity to buy some more Netherworld Milk and use it to curry favor with the Red Ghost at the shelter.

"That’s not a problem,"

Jinzi agreed without hesitation.

"Any other plans?"

Liu Zheng inquired.

"You have some friends in City Hall, don’t you?"

Jinzi asked, glancing at the City Hall employee family card on his chest.

"Friends is a bit of a stretch; it’s more about shared ideology and mutual interests,"

he responded modestly.

"Then that relationship is even more solid. Do you think it’s possible to use their influence to pressure Seiko’s boss to release her?"

Jinzi’s eyes lit up.

"Which department controls the bathhouse district?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"The bathhouse district is on the outskirts, and the City Hall’s control over there is relatively lax. However, if it involves departments like the Mayor’s Office, the Security Department, or the Employment Agency, they definitely still have jurisdiction,"

Jinzi said.

"Wow, the Employment Agency is a powerful department?"

he exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, don’t you know? After all, in Metropolis, everyone needs a job,"

Jinzi revealed the same thing Niu Ma had told him before.

Liu Zheng felt momentarily disoriented, as if he was back to when he first entered Metropolis.

Back then, he was just a terminal patient, and now he wasn’t even entirely human anymore.

"Alright, I can try to ask for you, but it’s going to cost quite a bit more,"

Liu Zheng said, returning to reality.

The Border Management Office would certainly be out of its depth managing the bathhouse district, but as one of the top three core departments of City Hall, networking should still be feasible.

However, this level of connection couldn’t be settled by mere tens of thousands of dollars; it would be best to exchange favors for favors.

"Understood, please trust in our sincerity,"

Jinzi said firmly.

"It’s not that I don’t trust your sincerity, I just don’t trust your power,"

Of course, he definitely didn’t say that out loud, as it would be terribly lacking in EQ.

"What if this road is still blocked?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"If it’s still blocked, then we’ll have to force our way through,"

Jinzi’s eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness.

"I’m not saying I don’t want to make the money, but are you sure you’re seeking help from the right profession? Although I’ve made a bit of a name for myself in the Blast World and the Realm of Annihilation, at the end of the day, I’m still just a delivery man."

"For this kind of job, you really should be looking for mercenaries and hitmen in the black market,"

he shrugged.

"Actually, you’re the most suitable person for this job, Zheng Chan,"

Jinzi said.

"Oh? Why’s that?"

"Well, our clan still has to make a living in the bathhouse business, seeking people from the black market or doing it ourselves would be kind of like showing our hand. Besides, since Seiko broke the rules, it looks bad for us reputation-wise,"

Jinzi explained.

"So why am I the right fit?"

"First, you’re not part of our business, so even if they suspect us afterward, we can simply deny it."

"Second, our clan’s abilities are all bath-related, which gives us a boost in the bathhouse district but also makes us an easy target. But you, Zheng Chan, won’t have that problem."

"Third, you have a perfectly legitimate reason to enter the bathhouse district, even to go where Seiko is being held."

Jinzi listed the reasons.

"You mean to say, you want me to deliver food to Seiko?"

Liu Zheng caught on immediately.

"Exactly, Zheng Chan, you’re so smart, truly a man I admire,"

Jinzi blew him a kiss.

"Really getting into it, huh~"

Liu Zheng caught the soup bowl’s kiss and took a big gulp.

"Stop it~"

Jinzi rolled her eyes at him.

"The job sounds simple enough. But honestly, I’ve got a stack of things on my plate right now, and I really don’t have the time to take on such a big task,"

he said, setting down the bowl.

Plus, all his connections were in the city; venturing outside meant too many uncontrollable factors.

"Of course, I know you’re a busy man, Zheng Chan. But, I’ve prepared an offer you can’t refuse,"

Jinzi said confidently.

"Oh? I’m interested to hear this,"

Liu Zheng said, intrigued.

"We went through a lot of trouble to get this,"

Jinzi pulled a vacuum-sealed bag from her robe and tossed it to him.

Liu Zheng used a tentacle to catch the bag.

Upon opening it, inside was a yellowing pair of boxer briefs with a suspiciously sticky substance on the top.

"Ew,"

he said with a look of disgust, taking the boxer briefs out. The item description popped up immediately.

"Name: Legendary Delivery Man’s Dirty Underwear (Disposable)"

"Type: Equipment"

"Quality: Fine"

"Effect One: After each bowel movement, all attributes +3, lasting one hour."

"Effect Two: Upon use, counts as part of the Legendary Delivery Man’s set +1. No corresponding equipment effect, can only activate some set effects. Lasts half an hour, after which the equipment will automatically disintegrate."

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

"Note: A pee boosts your spirit, a poop makes you feel light. "

Well, he couldn’t help but exclaim.

Liu Zheng looked at the item that was laughable in many ways and for a moment didn’t know what kind of expression to make.

Strong, that it definitely was.

"All attributes +3 after a bowel movement" might sound like a joke, but it was a very practical and easily triggered effect.

And the second effect, now that he had already collected two pieces of Legendary Delivery Man gear, was ridiculously powerful.

A perfect quality item set like this was definitely going to have amazing effects.

At the very least, it would elevate his power to the level of Niu Ma.

Then, whether it was heading to the Garbage Processing Plant or the Chaos Club, or dealing with potential retribution from Peacock, his chances of survival would increase dramatically.

Most importantly, he really wanted to know what the effects of the Legendary Delivery Man set were.

"I’ll take the job, give me the details,"

Liu Zheng said seriously, tucking away the Legendary Underwear.
