Chapter 629: Chapter 460 Niu Ma: You’re not allowed to mess with my wife!_2

Niu Ma angrily said.

"Then you might as well let it admit defeat directly."

Liu Zheng squinted and said.

Ghost Hand only has one hand, letting it go is pointless.

"If it admits defeat willingly, I’ll graciously spare it one hand’s life."

Niu Ma said haughtily.

"Creak."

Just as it finished speaking, Ghost Hand pushed open the wooden panel and crawled in.

"What’re you looking at? Your delivery job is here."

Niu Ma ignored Liu Zheng’s expression, focused on returning to its haystack, closed its eyes, and began snoring.

Ghost Hand inexplicably "glanced" at it, then came to Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng fed it a stick of dried fish with the tentacle, then picked up the delivery receipt on the ground.

"Item: Magma Strawberry Cake, one serving."

"Address: Worker New City, Building 6, Unit 202,"

"Customer: Da Luo Si"

"Time limit: one hour."

"Boss, do you know Worker New City?"

He asked casually while taking out a map to check.

"Hmm?"

Niu Ma, who was pretending to sleep, immediately opened its eyes.

Liu Zheng just felt a gust of wind, and Niu Ma was in front of him.

"Give me the delivery receipt."

Niu Ma said.

"Oh, okay."

He had no objection.

Niu Ma glanced at the delivery receipt clamped under its hoof, with emotions fluctuating on its face.

"I’ll deliver this order."

It swallowed the delivery receipt and said.

"Alright."

Liu Zheng nodded.

"Aren’t you going to ask why?"

"Why ask?"

He retorted.

"Aren’t you humans supposed to be quite curious?"

Niu Ma said.

"Niu Ma also wants to play tricks."

"Who are you disrespecting here?"

Niu Ma glared at him.

"Hehe."

"What if the tip for this order is very generous?"

Niu Ma said again.

"Forget it, the generous tip from the last order already turned me into neither a human nor a ghost. No telling what I’ll turn into next."

Liu Zheng chuckled.

If it wasn’t a matter of survival, who would want to turn into a creature with tentacles like a seaweed head?

Repeated blood and flesh rebirths are painful, not just physically but mentally torturous as well.

If your looks aren’t human, your physique isn’t human, your behavior isn’t human, then no matter how unwilling you are to admit it, you can’t deny you’re indeed not human.

"You really don’t want to know?"

"It’s not that I’m uninterested, people are naturally curious. But you’re my boss; if you want to tell me, you will, and if you don’t, I won’t inquire deliberately."

Liu Zheng shrugged.

"Humph, trying to play the retreat strategy with me, huh?"

"Boss, why are you even more cunning than a human? Enough already, hurry and deliver the order, while I get another nap."

He nudged Niu Ma, but of course, the latter didn’t budge.

It glared at Liu Zheng, then opened the break room door to check, ensuring no one was eavesdropping before closing it.

"Your sister-in-law, she lives in Worker New City."

Niu Ma said in a low voice.

"No wonder."

Liu Zheng realized.

"Then hurry up, if you get there early you can visit her."

He said.

"As if you need to tell me. Besides a few brothers who I’ve been through thick and thin with, only you know about this. If the news leaks, even if you escape to the borders, I’ll still hunt you down."

Niu Ma said with a fierce look.

"Aren’t we brothers who have been through life and death together?"

Liu Zheng showed no fear; instead, he looked directly at its large, copper-bell like eyes.

"If you say we aren’t, I’ll go to the hospital and have this memory wiped from my brain immediately."

"Uh, I didn’t mean it like that."

Niu Ma’s gaze flickered.

"Well, that’s settled. You can go now; you’re blocking the way standing here."

He waved his hand as if shooing away a fly.

"Oh."

Niu Ma sheepishly turned around, only to suddenly turn back at the door.

"Almost got hoodwinked by you, kid. Just wait, I’ll deal with you when I get back."

It said fiercely.

"Alright, I get it, you may leave now."

Liu Zheng said lazily.

"Hey, my temper is flaring."

Niu Ma was just about to ignore everything and give him a thrashing when suddenly the phone rang.

"Hello, Boss. Okay, I’m on my way."

It hung up the phone.

"The boss wants all the department heads to attend a meeting."

"Then I’ll go deliver this order."

Liu Zheng said casually.

He wasn’t so averse to delivering takeout anymore, as long as he didn’t have to deliver to big shots like Peacock or Mr. Liu, who held grudges against him.

"Fine, whatever."

Niu Ma reluctantly handed over the takeout slip.

"I’m off, then."

Liu Zheng put away the takeout slip and got ready to leave.

"Wait a minute."

Niu Ma stared at him intently, like he wanted to see right through his "flesh."

Liu Zheng stood still, calmly letting him look.

"Building 8, Apartment 404."

After a moment, Niu Ma blurted out an address.

"Got it. Should I buy anything on the way?"

He asked naturally.

"Buy some fruit, it likes to eat fruit."

After hesitating for a bit, Niu Ma said.

"Alright. Any specific fruit shop?"

"The one at the entrance with the busy hours is fine."

Niu Ma replied.

"Does a name like that really bring customers?"

Liu Zheng squinted and asked.

"So what? Even if it’s named Leisure Holiday, someone would still have to buy from there. Busy Hours is good, just like its fruits, genuine and honest."

Niu Ma said.

"Okay. Any sort of code word or anything?"

He asked.

"What code word?"

Niu Ma asked back.

"The way you were acting all secretive, I thought there might be one."

"Ridiculous. I’ve indeed offended a lot of people, but not to the extent of having some underground organization."

Niu Ma rolled his eyes.

"If it asks who you are, just say you’re the person who gave me the Heaven Island holiday voucher."

He added.

"Alright. Anything else I should know or can I go now?"

"Well, if it needs help with anything, lend a hand if you can. I can go out, but I can’t always go back home."

Niu Ma said, somewhat embarrassed.

"Understood."

Liu Zheng nodded.

"I warn you, kid. Don’t get any ideas about my wife, or I’ll definitely kill you."

Niu Ma suddenly said, looking fierce.

"Boss, you can question my character, but you can’t question my orientation."

He retorted discontentedly.

"Hah, just look at your harem; there’s every kind of race in it."

Niu Ma scoffed at his protest.

"But none of them are married, though."

Liu Zheng pointed out a flaw.

"Isn’t that janitor married?"

"She’s a widow."

"You little brat, you plan to kill me first and then go after my wife. I’ll kill you now."

Niu Ma roared with rage.

"Alright, alright, stop with the lousy act to hide your embarrassment. Better attend the meeting quickly, or else the boss will beat you later."

He waved dismissively.

"Tch."

Having his thoughts exposed, Niu Ma left the staff room with a slightly blushed face.

After he left, Liu Zheng also exited the staff room.

He first took out a replica of the previous meal.

"Name: Longjing Shrimp and Pork Heart"

"Type: Prop"

"Quality: Excellent"

"Effect: Doubles the effect of using aggressive language against enemies, better results when combined with similar items, lasts an hour."

"Note: Shrimp and pork heart? Scary."

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

"Sigh, would’ve been great if I still had the Big Tech Jargon Collection."

After reading the item description, Liu Zheng sighed.

If these two excellent-quality items were used together, they might produce effects comparable to perfect-quality items.

Unfortunately, the Big Tech Jargon Collection was used up when he defeated Dickens, the first Grand Patriarch of the Blood Healing Church.

"Hey, seems like I still have one."

He suddenly slapped his forehead and took out a long-forgotten item from the system space.

A thin booklet, only two or three pages thick.

"Name: Swear Word Collection"

"Type: Prop"

"Quality: Outstanding"

"Effect: Upon use, it generates targeted swear words based on the target’s race."

"Note: Anyone arguing with me loses their mother in three seconds. As for their father, he’s already blown away with their brains."

"Can it be taken out of the instance: No."

"Wow, aren’t these two items excessively well-matched?"

Seeing the effects of the two items, he couldn’t help but click his tongue.

It feels like if these two were thrown out together, any situation would turn into a life or death one.
