Chapter 672: Chapter 482: You’re apprenticing, not getting married

"What’s your relationship with that old ghost?"

The Tentacle Monster shouted somewhat hysterically.

"I want to call him dad, and he wants to call me grandson."

Liu Zheng said.

"Are you crazy? What’s the benefit of acknowledging an Earth Spirit with nothing as your dad?"

The Tentacle Monster couldn’t understand.

"Who says there’s nothing? Isn’t this the benefit? Cut the crap, are you taking this delivery or not?"

Although there was still plenty of time, he couldn’t just keep on stalling.

"No, I’m not taking it. If you’ve got the guts, spill it. At worst, I’ll invite a Heart Stealer here, and let’s see who disgusts whom!"

The Tentacle Monster said viciously.

The Heart Stealer, also known as an Illithid, is a creature with tentacles and a mouth, bearing an uncanny resemblance to the Tentacle Monster.

We’ll talk about the specifics later when it’s encountered; anyway, it’s a race that excels in mental powers.

Liu Zheng didn’t know the details about this race, but knowing it’s what the other side relied on was enough.

"Do you know the cemetery?"

He suddenly asked.

"Of course, who in Metropolis doesn’t know about the cemetery?"

"I have a good relationship with the cemetery’s Tomb Guardian. Last time, I got an item from him that can boost the intelligence of the Dead, cured a brain-dead Dead Spirit."

"Guess what, can I get a treasure from him that enhances the strength of Earth Spirits?"

Liu Zheng said leisurely.

"The Tomb Guardian..."

The Tentacle Monster showed a wary expression upon hearing the name.

There’s no living being that doesn’t fear the representative of death, especially when they have to be governed by them after dying.

"I don’t believe it. Something so valuable, you’re willing to give it to that old ghost?"

The Tentacle Monster said stubbornly.

"Maybe it’s precious to you, but for me, it’s just that. I have given away far more valuable items than this."

"If that’s not enough, I have an ultimate treasure that, when consumed by a Dead Spirit, guarantees at least an upgrade in strength."

"I don’t have it yet, but once I get it, you’ll be the first one I’ll use it against."

"So, do you feel honored?"

He raised his eyebrows and said.

"Are you insane, going this far just to deliver something?"

The Tentacle Monster cursed.

"You’re the one who’s insane, going this far just to refuse accepting a delivery?"

Liu Zheng retorted.

"Nonsense, accepting the delivery might get me killed."

"Nonsense, not accepting the delivery will definitely get me killed."

"What does it matter to me if you live or die?"

"If I die, you’ll definitely die before me."

"Dumbass delivery guy, screw you!"

"Son of a... Wait, what do you do again?"

He seemed to have remembered something.

"I’m a novelist, much cooler than you dumbass delivery guys!"

The Tentacle Monster said proudly.

"If you can’t even get published, you won’t earn the full attendance bonus, what are you bragging about?"

Liu Zheng ruthlessly exposed it.

"How do you know that?"

The Tentacle Monster was shocked.

"Because not only have I written novels, I’ve published bestsellers. You know the owner of building 4, room 606?"

He said.

"I know a bit, seems like they also write novels, but probably haven’t achieved much."

The Tentacle Monster thought for a moment and said.

"You know nothing. She used to be a god-level author in the short story domain and switched to long stories for a higher pursuit. Just having a little difficulty adapting."

"After my guidance, she’s now on the right track, surely to become a dual-god in both short and long story fields."

Liu Zheng said confidently.

"Really? What was her original pen name?"

The Tentacle Monster asked suspiciously.

"If I tell you, will you accept the delivery?"

Though revealing the novelist’s original pen name wasn’t ideal, he couldn’t worry about it in a crisis. At worst, he would help her change her house later.

"That’s impossible, but I can give you a chance to convince me."

The Tentacle Monster said.

"Hehe, that’ll work too."

If words won’t convince, physical persuasion will.

"Her original pen name was Yi Xie Na Mei."

Liu Zheng said.

"Wow, she really is a god. I didn’t expect to live in the same neighborhood as Yi Xie Na Mei. Always heard there were many gods in this area, but didn’t think it was true. Exciting."

The Tentacle Monster said excitedly.

"Wait, haven’t you lived here for years without meeting any other god-level authors?"

"Didn’t you write novels before too? Chatting online is fine, who has the time to meet people offline?"

The Tentacle Monster looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Who says that? I know a god-level author who likes to go out and freeload off other authors."

Liu Zheng said defensively.

"Does he know you?"

The Tentacle Monster asked.

"...Let’s talk about the delivery again."

"Hahaha."

He laughed gleefully.

Seeing Liu Zheng at a loss, the anger in his heart diminished somewhat.

"Alright, if you can get me an opportunity to receive guidance from a god-level author, I’ll sign for the delivery."

The Tentacle Monster thought for a moment and said.

"No problem, as long as it’s not some romance fluff or harem story, I’ve got it covered."

Liu Zheng agreed readily.

"Who asked you? Just a mere bestseller author, slightly better than me, doesn’t qualify for me to sign for the delivery."

The Tentacle Monster said disdainfully.

"You’re picky now? Why don’t you try to find someone? You might not find a bestseller author willing to teach you even if you pay them."

He said with some annoyance.

Writing is something that can’t be taught just through common guidance and those methodical courses are nonsense.

But even if it’s hands-on teaching, the person must have the foundation and comprehension ability, and sometimes this takes more effort than the author writing a new book themselves.
