Chapter 522: Chapter 407: What Life Can You Enjoy with a Few Thousand Yuan Salary?

At the entrance of the Paper House, two guards were listlessly standing.

They were wearing breastplates (upper body armor) and Grass Folds (skirt armor), with helmets on their heads, dressed as the lowest rank of soldiers.

"How many days has the person from the Servicing Department been locked up inside?"

The guard on the left suddenly asked.

"How would I know? I only got here the day before yesterday."

The guard on the right yawned.

"Anyway, what heavenly rule did she violate to be locked up for so long?"

The guard on the left asked.

"Seems like she let a pig escape?"

The guard on the right thought for a moment and said.

"Just for that? Couldn’t she just have replaced it herself, why lock her up?"

The guard on the left asked curiously.

"Apparently, it’s because her family is quite wealthy, so the boss wants to squeeze some more money out of them."

The guard on the right said.

"Ah? That doesn’t seem right, does it?"

The guard on the left hesitated.

"When you were getting your subsidy, did you think that was wrong?"

The guard on the right rolled his eyes?

"Heh heh."

The guard on the left touched his head embarrassedly.

"Alright, stop daydreaming. No matter what, the boss wouldn’t do harm to his own people."

"That’s not necessarily true."

A voice interrupted the two guards’ conversation.

"Who?!"

The two guards immediately became vigilant, gripping their short guns.

This type of short gun is called a One-Space Gun, with the handle being a composite structure, a core of hardwood like oak, wrapped with bamboo strips, and coated with varnish for waterproofing.

And One-Space refers to a unit of length, between 1.6 and 1.8 meters.

"You’re uncle."

Liu Zheng spoke, but his hooves did not stop.

The huge figure occupied most of the corridor, yet moved as if being blown by the wind, distressing to watch.

"Hiya!"

The two guards shouted in unison, thrusting their short guns forward.

The tip of the gun was bright and shiny, clearly often polished.

The edge of the gun blade was even emitting a matte black light, looking as if it was coated with poison.

"Hiya!"

Before the gun body was fully thrust forward, the guard on the right roared again.

With a twist of the waist and a flick of the wrist, a short gun instantly split into hundreds of gun shadows, each looking utterly real, engulfing the short gun of the guard on the left within them.

Clearly, this was a well-practiced combination technique.

If the enemy only blocks the real gun and ignores the gun shadows, the shadows would turn solid.

If the enemy focuses on dispelling the gun shadows, they will be hurt by the real gun that’s been charged for a hit.

And with the puffer fish poison applied on it, a scrape would be as deadly as a lethal wound.

"Fancy-shmancy."

Liu Zheng with his hooves gripping the Slaughter Knife, swung out a wave of Sword Energy like a rampant torrent, instantly extinguishing all the gun shadows.

Looking at the bare gun handle in hand, the guard on the left was somewhat stunned.

On the other hand, the reaction of the guard on the right was fast, as he opened his mouth to shout.

"Moo~"

Liu Zheng let out a loud cry, his incredibly foul breath turned into a fierce wind that blasted into both guards’ faces, nearly suffocating them.

"Don’t scream, live. Scream, die. Choose for yourselves."

He stopped the cry, looking at them coldly as he spoke.

"Who are you..."

"Shut up, knock it off."

The guard on the left opened his mouth to shout, but it was the guard on the right who slapped his face shut.

"Sir, can we really live?"

The guard on the right cautiously asked.

"Being the tiger’s accomplice, being a public criminal. It’s not worth killing you, but a beating is necessary."

Liu Zheng said unapologetically.

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir."

Hearing this, the guard on the right breathed a sigh of relief, pressing his companion to bow together.

He figured it out clearly, if he had the strength to fight, he wouldn’t mind taking a chance, maybe even get a promotion or raise.

But the opponent like Niu Ma clearly couldn’t be rivalled, so better to yield without dying.

A few thousand a month, why gamble with life?

"Is Seiko inside?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Yes, yes, are you here to rescue her?"

"Nonsense, would I be here to kill her?"

He replied irritably.

"For a powerful person like you, of course, you would rescue if you want, or kill if you wish."

The guard on the right flattered.

"You better go get some training in the Servicing Department before coming back here to brown-nose. Is there a plan inside?"

After his snide remark, Liu Zheng asked.

"No, no, just us two watching is enough, why would there need to be any mechanisms?"

The guard on the right hastily said.

While he was talking, Liu Zheng constantly observed with his extraordinary Perception and saw no signs of lying.

But it makes sense, originally Seiko was just a meat pig being fattened up for slaughter, not any dangerous person, so there was no need for overly strict surveillance methods.

The stricter the surveillance, the higher the cost, and with Granny Tang’s stinginess, she certainly wouldn’t want to waste that money.

And as for Seiko’s family, Granny Tang clearly didn’t think much of them, otherwise, she wouldn’t have been harvesting them as cash crops.

Unfortunately, she never expected that although Seiko’s family might not be capable, they found someone who is.

While Liu Zheng was building his network, he himself had also become part of someone else’s network.

"Then you guys get some proper sleep."

Suddenly, he turned around, lifted his buttocks, and his two back hooves kicked out like lightning.

The two guards had no time to respond and disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Although Liu Zheng used a pushing force, that kick would still leave them bedridden for a few months.

He pulled at the door, but the paper door didn’t budge.

Squinting his eyes, he noticed a keyhole on the doorpost.

"Uh..."

Liu Zheng felt a bit embarrassed.
