Chapter 602: Chapter 447 Liu Zheng, I Want to Sleep with You

"Huh?"

A giant question mark popped up over Liu Zheng’s head.

He had long since realized that the bottom line for this bunch of freaks and weirdoes in the Metropolis was disturbingly low, but he didn’t expect it to stoop to the level of "relieving themselves anywhere".

Even though the Sea Girl herself—and everyone else, for that matter—didn’t seem to care, Liu Zheng wasn’t about to let himself sink to their level.

"No leaking, got it? Leak once, and I’ll record it and plaster it all over the Metropolis."

Liu Zheng spat out the words viciously.

The Sea Girl trembled even more violently.

"???"

Oh, great. The more he threatened, the more motivated she seemed to get, huh?

Since brute force wasn’t working, he decided to switch tactics—to sleaze.

"Do you know what kind of person you remind me of?"

He asked suddenly.

"W-what kind of person?"

The Sea Girl asked, a hint of anticipation in her voice.

"My woman."

Liu Zheng said with a gaze brimming with tender affection.

"Uh..."

The Sea Girl’s expression froze slightly.

"You know why the tiny boat of friendship between us is about to capsize?"

He asked again.

"Why?"

The Sea Girl asked indifferently.

"Because we’re about to sail down the river of love."

Liu Zheng threw her a flirtatious wink.

"Uh..."

The trembling of the Sea Girl noticeably lessened.

"I’ve been so good to you, why do you have to hurt me like this?"

He asked solemnly.

"How have I hurt you?"

The Sea Girl had already given up on expecting anything meaningful.

"By making me like you so damn much!"

He said with a face full of dramatic anguish.

"Alright, enough. Stop talking."

The Sea Girl said coldly.

"If it’s enough, then hurry up and get to work. Those who can work are hotshots; those who can’t? Just lumps. I only need hotshots around, no lumps."

Liu Zheng’s tone turned colder than hers.

"Got it. Follow me."

The Sea Girl waved towards the Fly People and walked toward the distant sewer grate.

"Liu Zheng, I don’t want to go to the sewer. I want to sleep with you."

Vampire Sister clung to Liu Zheng’s leg, whining.

"Then you’ll have to sleep with me at the Bloody Restaurant."

He said as he patted Vampire Sister’s little head.

"Then I’d rather sleep with Fish-Selling Girl and the Dead Doll."

Vampire Sister stiffened for a second, then dropped her head in defeat and followed the Sea Girl.

She had no desire to end up as stir-fried bat jerky or deep-fried Little Bat.

"Doctor, do you know how to do divinations?"

Liu Zheng asked.

Divination should be a basic skill for Priests, right?

"I do, but I’m not exactly proficient. Also, my divination essentially works as a form of divine arts, and given the current... state of my Lord..."

Dr. Nile paused out of respect and didn’t continue, but Liu Zheng got the gist.

If his divinations were reliable, there wouldn’t just be the two remaining members of the Ra Clan in the Metropolis.

"Do you know any professionals around here?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"No, for security reasons, I’ve always kept to myself. My connections mostly come from my work, and none of my patients are involved in that field."

"However, I did hear one of my patients mention a shop in the black market with highly effective divinations."

Dr. Nile thought for a moment and said.

"The black market? Could it be General Services?"

Liu Zheng thought of the Crystal Skull and the pile of divination tools on the desk.

"Seems like it."

Dr. Nile nodded.

"It’s probably that one."

If they could arrange for people to leave the city, someone there must have legit divination skills.

Liu Zheng vaguely remembered Niu Ma mentioning that Heavenly Butcher had said the black market was reopening "the day after tomorrow" the last time he asked to open it early.

The day after tomorrow from the day before yesterday... wasn’t that today?

He immediately dialed Niu Ma’s number.

"You sure know how to time this, huh? I just got back, and you’re already calling me. Don’t tell me you installed surveillance in my lounge."

Niu Ma said sarcastically.

"How could I? I just didn’t want to disturb you while you were resting, Big Boss."

Liu Zheng chuckled.

"You’re already disturbing me! Seven days into the job, and you’re taking a day off? If you make it a year, are you gonna ditch work every day?"

Niu Ma said bitterly.

"How could I? If I stick around for a year, I’ll be working overtime daily just to help Big Boss retire early."

Liu Zheng replied earnestly.

"I’m about to start my own business, retire my ass. Spit it out; I’m going to sleep."

Niu Ma said grumpily.

"The black market opens today, right? Big Boss?"

He asked.

"Probably. What do you want?"

"I just got my hands on something for divination. Want to go to General Services to figure out how to use it."

Liu Zheng described the effects of the half-dried Divination Grass.

"You actually trust in this superstitious nonsense?"

Niu Ma said disdainfully.

He had made it this far without ever believing in fate.

"I don’t trust fate, but I trust Luck Value Max."

Liu Zheng described the effects of the Black Carp Dragon Resentment Relics as well.

"How do you always end up with these bizarre things? Can’t you find something practical to properly strengthen yourself?"

"When you face true powerhouses, if your own strength isn’t enough, you won’t even be able to use these things."

Niu Ma lectured.

"What can I do? My foundation is what it is; even if I get them, I can’t use them."

Liu Zheng said helplessly.

Take, for example, Liu Zheng’s starter Black Mountain Goat Cub eyeball—if not for the system backing him, he’d probably have ended up becoming one of the goat’s minions after eating it.

Or his frequently-used sawtoothed butcher knife—without Legendary Armor and the attributes from flesh mutations granting him extra strength, he couldn’t even swing it.

Just look at Liu Zheng’s usual social circle. It was already a miracle they managed to find things he could use at all.

"Just because you can’t use it now doesn’t mean you won’t be able to later. Save it until you can, then use it."

Niu Ma clearly didn’t agree.

"Fine, fine. I’ll remember next time, okay?"

Liu Zheng could only humor him.
