The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?

Chapter 653: Chapter 472: Doctor Nile, Eternal God!_2

Doctor Nile rubbed his arms, feeling goosebumps through the bandages.

"Doctor, I’m back. Here’s the royal jelly and dragon droppings you wanted. Ah, boss, you’re here!"

Niu Daji called out in surprise upon returning from outside.

"Dragon droppings?"

Liu Zheng looked at the bag of urea in its hand, sensing a slight hint of danger from it.

"It’s for the Scarab. When it eats them, it’s food, and when excreted, it’s medicine. Different droppings have different medicinal effects."

Doctor Nile explained.

"What’s the medicinal effect of the dragon droppings?"

He asked.

"I don’t know, it’s my first time using dragon droppings too. If you want to find out, you can try them when the time comes."

Doctor Nile suggested.

"I... I’ll let you know then."

Liu Zheng was tempted to refuse, but he couldn’t deny he was a bit intrigued.

After all, it’s dragon stuff, even the droppings are precious.

"By the way, is this from a Western dragon or an Eastern dragon?"

He asked.

"I don’t know. I just heard a shop had dragon droppings on sale today, so I had Niu Daji snag them. Niu Daji, did they mention what kind of dragon droppings these are?"

Doctor Nile asked.

"The shop clerk said it’s Coiled Dragon droppings."

Niu Daji replied.

The Coiled Dragon, a dragon that lurks on the ground and hasn’t ascended to the heavens, is a tier below a True Dragon and on par with a Serpent.

"Alright, I’ll try the medicine then."

Coiled Dragon droppings shouldn’t even be called droppings, more like an elixir!

"Doctor, you’re not going to use it later, right?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"They’re your little underlings, use them as you please."

Doctor Nile said indifferently.

He was used to shouldering all responsibilities, and having Bulaojie and Niu Daji made things more convenient, but they weren’t indispensable.

"Alright. Daji, put the stuff away and come with me to take care of some business."

Liu Zheng nodded towards Niu Daji.

"Sure thing."

Niu Daji responded enthusiastically, hurrying to the storeroom to stow the items away.

Working at the clinic was comfortable, Doctor Nile didn’t pay a salary, but he did give rewards and there was plenty to eat and drink.

Yet the reason it left a stable job in the city was to accomplish big things.

Staying idle in the clinic was another form of stability.

So, when Liu Zheng took it out for tasks, it was overjoyed.

"Boss, are we going to kill someone?"

Once out of the clinic, Niu Daji eagerly asked as it climbed into the back seat.

"Why’s your mind filled with violence? Your boss handles things with reason, opting for verbal negotiations over fights. You should also be mindful, stay amiable outside, got it?"

He lectured.

"Uh, got it."

Niu Daji muttered dejectedly.

What could it say, being an underling? Whatever the boss said goes.

Anyway, it figured at least the people from the Hundred Ghosts wouldn’t agree with their boss’s words.

"This time, I’m taking you to negotiate with the Jiwei Group."

Liu Zheng nodded in satisfaction and continued.

Since arriving in Metropolis, everyone seemed to push him around and order him about.

Finally, he could indulge in being the boss, and it felt fantastic.

"Negotiate? What did the Jiwei Group do?"

Niu Daji asked, puzzled.

Wasn’t the Jiwei Group a friend of the boss? They even came to help in a fight before, why was there suddenly a conflict?

"It’s work-related stuff."

"Could it be, huh?! The Jiwei Group people were forced to deliver food?"

Niu Daji, though a bit dim, wasn’t truly stupid.

Liu Zheng had already hinted enough, so it quickly caught on.

Liu Zheng said nothing, letting the silence speak for itself.

"There’s no choice then, it’s not like boss wants it. If you don’t deliver the food, you would die. The Jiwei Group should understand that too, right?"

Niu Daji spoke confidently.

Despite having a good impression of the Jiwei Group and fearing involuntary deliveries by the Bloody Restaurant, being an underling meant it had to side with Liu Zheng.

"Everyone has their own stance. So, we can only negotiate and see if we can reach an agreement."

Liu Zheng said.

"And if we can’t reach an agreement?"

Niu Daji asked.

"Then we’ll have to sort it out with our fists."

He sighed.

As long as the Jiwei Group doesn’t resort to violence, he won’t either.

But regardless of the outcome, both sides surely won’t return to their previous state of genuine cooperation.

"Ugh, damn restaurant."

Feeling Liu Zheng’s melancholy, Niu Daji cursed loudly.

"You fool, how can you compare the restaurant to a dog?!"

Liu Zheng scolded.

"Huh?"

Niu Daji was momentarily stunned, then realized upon seeing the smile at the corner of Liu Zheng’s mouth.

"My bad, boss, the restaurant is worse than a dog!"

It said loudly.

"Good, as long as you know your mistake, say that again, and you’ll taste the family rules."

Liu Zheng said sternly.

"Hey, I’m still here, isn’t it rather rude to say this way?"

The driver looked back and commented with a peculiar expression.

"I reckon the Colonel would just join us in the cursing."

He smiled.

The other party was a survivor of the City Hall’s crackdown, so how could they feel favorably towards a Bloody Restaurant with ambiguous ties to the City Hall.

"You guys can curse, but I can’t."

The driver shook his head.

"Unlike you, I’m not just working here; my existence depends on the restaurant. I can do a little mischief, but openly cursing like you guys would cost me this new outfit."

He pointed to his uniform.

"Is the damage to your uniform because..."

"Humans can’t resist courting death sometimes. But it’s worth it; if my clothes hadn’t torn, I wouldn’t have found you, and then all the fun afterwards wouldn’t have happened. Hahaha!"

The driver laughed.

"Thanks, but I don’t find it funny."

Liu Zheng said with a straight face.

Behind the driver’s fun stories were his own mangled flesh and brain matter.

"That just means you haven’t lived long enough. Once you live as long as I have, this way, you’ll find nothing else matters more than existence and fun."

The driver didn’t care about his thoughts.

"Perhaps."

Liu Zheng replied noncommittally.

He certainly didn’t intend to become like the driver. Even if he did, Hell’s Game wouldn’t allow it.

Though he wasn’t yet familiar with Hell’s Game, based on Summer Open’s information and his own performance, he figured he was outstanding among the game’s players.

If Liu Zheng were Hell’s Game, he wouldn’t let go of such a valuable asset either.

"Here we are."

The driver executed a stylish drift, stopping the car smoothly at the entrance of Jidao Public Bath.

"Zheng Chan, you’re here."

Upon entering, Jinzi warmly greeted him, grabbing Liu Zheng’s arm and pulling it into her embrace, nodding to Niu Daji, leaving it feeling honored.

It never received this treatment at any bathhouse on Bathhouse Street.

"Where are the Jiwei Group people?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"I’ve arranged them in the dojo."

Jinzi said.

"Your bathhouse has a dojo?"

He asked in surprise.

"Even in service work, it’s good to have some self-defense skills. Our boss loves martial arts and practices with us regularly."

Jinzi explained.

"So you’re going for business martial arts?"

He’d seen business basketball, business pool, and business ping pong enough in the real world.

When the leader lets you give it your all, and if you truly believe it, that’s when the leader will give you their all.

"No need for that, the boss is much stronger than me, no employee together could beat him."

Jinzi shook her head.

"That’s impressive, would love to see it sometime."

Liu Zheng said casually.

"That might not be possible soon, the boss went traveling and won’t be back for at least ten days or half a month."

Jinzi replied.

"Is that so? What a pity."

"Let’s go, take me to the dojo."

He said.

"Hold on."

Jinzi clung to his arm.

"Zheng Chan, the Jiwei Group won’t run, what’s wrong with making them wait a bit?"

She whispered in Liu Zheng’s ear.

"How about we do something fun first?"

Jinzi breathed softly.
