Chapter 617: Chapter 454: Suicide by being shot over 800 times in the back_2

"Your son is a sophomore, right?"

Liu Zheng suddenly asked.

"What do you mean, Mr. Liu?"

The deputy director’s tone turned cold.

"Nothing, I’m at the house of a professor from City First University right now. He promised to fulfill one of my requests."

"Ah, you see, the children of my friends haven’t reached the age yet to consider their academics. But tell me, this overwhelming wealth, who should I give it to?"

He stretched his voice as he spoke.

"A professor from City First University!"

The deputy director was suddenly wide awake.

City First University is the best university in the Metropolis, and the affiliated high school is the best in the city.

As long as one can enter the affiliated high school, getting into university is almost certain.

And going to university means his son could at least take his place in the future, preventing any downward shift in social class.

"Mr. Liu, besides Manager Ma, many others are involved in this matter. If I take direct action, it will be uncontrollable. By then, not only Mani will be oppressed, I might also be marginalized."

The deputy director pondered for a moment and said.

"Let me handle it. You only need to ensure you can protect her."

Liu Zheng said.

"I can only guarantee I’ll try my best."

The deputy director said cautiously.

"Not your best, but definitely. I fulfill my promises even if it kills me. If someone promises me something and fails, I’ll make sure they die."

He said coldly.

"If you can’t do it, then we part ways. In the future, you walk your Yama Road, I’ll walk my sewer."

"Of course, if I visit your company again and accidentally harm you, don’t blame me for turning my back on you."

Liu Zheng’s sharp gaze seemed to pierce through the phone screen, stabbing right into the deputy director’s heart.

"Daddy~ Who are you talking to on the phone?"

A soft, seductive female voice suddenly came from the other end of the line, accompanied by the sound of clothes rustling.

"Shut up!"

The deputy director shouted loudly.

"Don’t be busy with your woman; I don’t have time to wait."

Liu Zheng said.

"Alright. Go to your room and stay there."

The deputy director’s raised Insect Limbs lowered again.

"Have you made up your mind, deputy director?"

"Yes. Rest assured, as long as she doesn’t want to, this kind of thing won’t happen again."

The deputy director replied decisively.

"Very good. Then please head to the club nearby and order a takeaway, then wait to watch the show."

Liu Zheng said.

"This..."

The deputy director was somewhat reluctant.

Although with his strength, ordering a takeaway wouldn’t cause major harm, it would still require him to rest for a long time.

"She’s my person, but she’s also your person."

"Alright."

The deputy director reluctantly agreed.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

Liu Zheng hung up the phone and said to the Mini People.

"It’s fine, your conversation was quite interesting. It’s the first time I heard of a delivery man actively asking someone to order."

The Mini People waved his hand and said.

"Have you interacted with many delivery people before?"

He asked in surprise.

How unlucky must that Mini People be?

"Not really. Even if the leader of Tendaros came, it couldn’t withstand the Bloody Restaurant’s repeated receivings."

"I have a friend, who used to study the Bloody Restaurant. Delivery people from the Bloody Restaurant were the focus and breakthrough of his research."

"We had a good relationship, he told me a lot about the Bloody Restaurant when he was alive."

The Mini People shook his head and said.

"I can’t believe there are warriors researching our restaurant."

Liu Zheng solemnly respected.

Others avoid the Bloody Restaurant like the plague, but the Mini People actually pursued research. It’s like the old longevity god drinking poison: living as if he is tired of life.

Oh, he was alive, so it’s alright now.

"Research shouldn’t have forbidden zones. Even the knowledge labeled forbidden by City Hall will always have someone exploring it with chains on."

The Mini People shook his head and said.

"What you said about chains, isn’t meant in the literal sense, right?"

Liu Zheng squinted and said.

"Of course, I actually tried to persuade him, but scholars who become professors tend to be diehards, so we parted ways unhappily."

"Later, the only news of him was his suicide, shot in the back more than eight hundred times, and all his research material was burned."

The Mini People said.

"Shot in the back more than eight hundred times, wouldn’t that turn into a honeycomb coal?"

He clicked his tongue and said.

"My friend is a Sight Meat."

The Mini Person explained.

"Annotations of the Classic of Mountains and Seas" says: Sight Meat, a conglomerate of meat shaped like cow liver, with two eyes. Eat it and it is never-ending, regenerating back to its original form.

"Illustrated Praise of the Classic of Mountains and Seas" further notes: "A lump of meat with eyes but no intestines; somewhat like puffball mushrooms; the wonder lies in its inexhaustibility, offering humans bland taste."

The general idea is that Sight Meat is a piece of meat resembling cow liver with two eyes, and cutting a piece off allows it to grow back, never running out, though it is tasteless.

"That’s indeed quite hard to kill, no wonder over eight hundred bullets were needed."

"It’s so persistent, could it have escaped from the restaurant?"

Liu Zheng had a sudden flash of inspiration.

"I really don’t know; it’s never told me about its past experiences. But now that you mention it, that could be very possible."

The Mini Person mused thoughtfully.

"Didn’t it leave anything behind?"

He became interested.

"Well, you can trust the expertise of the relevant departments on that issue."

The Mini Person sneered slightly.

Though he had a part-time job at City Hall, his primary identity was still a scholar, undoubtedly discontented with the many restrictions City Hall imposed on academic research.

"However, it did mention once that it found a tomb in the cemetery for vacation purposes; perhaps something is left there too."

The Mini Person thought for a bit and said.

"Finding a tomb for vacation... Oh, that indeed seems right."

Sight Meat tends to appear in burial places, such as Emperor Yao and Emperor Kuo’s tombs on Di Mountain, the sobbing on Tang Mountain, King Wen’s tomb on Tang Mountain, Emperor Zhuanxu’s tomb on Wuyu Mountain, and Emperor Shun and his uncle’s tomb in the Cangwu Wilderness.

Speaking of which, the Tomb Guardian happened to ask him to rob a tomb, not sure if he could find the one Sight Meat vacationed in.

"Do you have anything bearing its aura?"

Liu Zheng was quick-witted.

"Aren’t you a restaurant person? Yet you’re interested in its research findings?"

The Mini Person asked puzzled.

"It’s exactly because I’m a restaurant person that I’m interested in its research findings."

He replied.

Outsiders cannot conduct research, but as a restaurant staff member, he should not have such taboos.

Of course, it’s just a matter of taking a shot regardless of certainty; whether he goes or not will be a matter for later.

"Alright, since you insist. Tendaros, bring the ’Shan Hai Yan Jing’ here."

The Mini Person called out.

Liu Zheng wasn’t surprised. Since there is Sight Meat, having the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is quite normal.

"Hmm?"

He seemed to realize something was amiss.

"Oops!"

Tendaros cheerfully ran out, with a large, heavy book with a black cover in its mouth.

"I indeed didn’t hear wrong..."

Liu Zheng’s mouth twitched.

He remembered that the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" had only thirty thousand words, not even a fragment of this book.

On another note, how much bizarre content must the thirty thousand-word original have expanded into such a thick fan fiction?

"Thank you, Tendaros."

Liu Zheng took the large black book; its item description promptly popped up.

"Name: Shan Hai Yan Jing"

"Type: Miscellaneous"

"Quality: Ordinary"

"Effect: None"

"Note: Could a carbon-based life form really have written this?!!!"

"Impressive..."

After seeing the item note, he completely lost the desire to browse, directly storing it into his system space.

"Aren’t you going to open it and have a look? The content is quite interesting."

The Mini Person urged.

"I’d better not; I’m too young and can’t handle it."

Liu Zheng refused politely.

"Haha, an interesting young man. Here’s my phone number, jot it down. If you find Sight Meat’s relics, let me know."

The Mini Person recited a string of digits.

"Aren’t you afraid you might get shot with over eight hundred bullets in a suicide attempt too?"

"No, I’m more experienced than Sight Meat in this area and know my limits."

The Mini Person shook his head.

"Alright, I’ll take my leave then. Goodbye, Professor Niu. Goodbye, Tendaros."

"Oops!"

Tendaros stood up on its hind legs and gave Liu Zheng’s face a lick.

"Seems Tendaros likes you a lot."

The Mini Person said with a smile.

"Really?"

Feeling the piercing pain on his face, Liu Zheng found it hard to believe his words.

"You’ll know when you get the chance."

The Mini Person spoke cryptically.
