Chapter 676: Chapter 484: If the Fool is Willing, I Can Be Below
"Cemetery? Hmm, that makes sense."
Liu Zheng nodded.
Besides a cemetery, it’s hard to find any other place with coffins that would interest a big shot like the Fool.
Excluding the French Plane Tree.
"Does this mean the delivery guy agrees?"
The Fool asked.
"I agree."
After all, he was planning to rob a tomb anyway, so he might as well let the Tomb Guardian switch the target to the one specified by the Fool. Wouldn’t that be killing two birds with one stone?
"Alright, I’ll go release them now."
The Fool nodded.
"Does the great Fool trust me so much?"
Liu Zheng asked in surprise.
"Words and dance don’t lie."
The Fool said mysteriously.
"Of course, if the delivery guy really deceives me, meeting you in person over some takeout isn’t that hard either."
It paused and added.
"That’s true too."
Liu Zheng nodded.
For the strong people in Metropolis, the cost of ordering takeout is bearable.
"So, what about the second thing?"
The Fool asked.
"The second thing is that I’ve met an author who wants to become your disciple."
He explained about the Tentacle Monster.
"Forget about being a disciple. I’m still exploring myself."
Not surprisingly, the Fool declined.
"But I can have an afternoon tea with them and share some experiences."
It quickly added.
"That would be great, thank you for the support, great Fool."
Liu Zheng said sincerely.
"It’s just a small matter. I believe the delivery guy won’t waste my goodwill."
The Fool’s tone remained gentle, but Liu Zheng felt as if an endless gray mist was creeping toward him.
"Of course, I never waste any goodwill, nor do I tolerate any malice. Where I come from, we call this repaying kindness with kindness and responding to resentment directly."
He said.
"Repaying kindness with kindness and responding to resentment directly. That’s a great saying. Can I use it?"
The Fool asked in delight.
"Of course, it’s a saying from the past, I’m just passing it along."
Liu Zheng said generously.
"Thank you. So, what’s the third thing?"
The Fool asked again.
"The third thing, well, last time was a rushed meeting, and I didn’t have anything noteworthy. This time, I’ve prepared a nice gift to present to you as a token of friendship."
He said confidently.
Even San Huamao and the Sphinx couldn’t resist the magic of a yarn ball, so he believed the Fool wouldn’t be an exception either.
"Oh? Now I’m quite looking forward to it. How about this, I’ll order some takeout soon and invite Mr. Tentacle Monster to join us for afternoon tea."
The Fool thought for a moment and said.
"Sure, then I’ll be happy to oblige."
Liu Zheng naturally wouldn’t refuse.
"Great, then I’ll wait for you at the original fortress."
The Fool hung up the phone.
"Damn!"
He was just about to put away the phone when Niu Ma’s shout startled him.
"What’s up, big guy?"
He looked over.
"What the hell kind of walnut is this that’s so hard? It even damaged my horn."
Niu Ma touched its horn and said with a pained expression.
"Let me see."
Liu Zheng walked over and checked that a small crack had appeared on Niu Ma’s right horn.
"It’s definitely hard."
He acknowledged the walnut’s combat capability.
Niu Ma’s combat prowess relied mostly on its horns; even after a rough delivery trip to Peacock, nothing broke, except now a walnut caused a crack, which showed how tough it must be.
"Why do you have to go up against it?"
Liu Zheng said exasperatedly.
"Who am I? I’m the dignified head of the delivery department, a three-time excellent employee of the Bloody Restaurant. I refuse to believe there’s something I can’t open!"
Niu Ma looked stubborn.
"Fine, fine, let me get a beer bottle, then you can try again, okay?"
He said helplessly.
If this keeps up, it’s hard to say whether Niu Ma or the walnut would crack first, but the lounge would definitely need remodeling.
"Hmph, I’ll let it off this time. You just wait!"
Niu Ma glared at the walnut in anger and kicked it.
The walnut turned into a shadow, slammed against the wall, and then bounced back.
Liu Zheng instinctively ducked, narrowly avoiding the incoming walnut.
"Bang!"
The walnut hit the cabinet, making a deafening sound.
He focused and saw that the walnut was embedded in the metal.
He walked over and pried the walnut out with a boning knife, and the walnut was still intact.
"What the hell kind of walnut is this?"
Liu Zheng echoed Niu Ma’s earlier question.
"If you’re asking me, who should I ask?"
Niu Ma rolled its eyes.
"Where did you get it from?"
"Got it from my dad’s stomach."
Niu Ma answered.
"Huh? So the Champion Bull wasn’t killed in a fight but got stuffed by a walnut?"
His eyes widened.
"How could that be? My dad was so badass; how could he be stuffed by a walnut?"
Niu Ma instinctively refuted, then looked again at the walnut embedded in the cabinet door.
"Hmm, possibly, maybe, perhaps not?"
Its voice grew uncertain.
"Hey, can you lend me this walnut?"
Liu Zheng said, his eyes twinkling.
"No way. This thing is pretty much the only relic my dad left me, no way I’m giving it to you for an auction."
Niu Ma rejected firmly.
"I already ate your dad’s remains, so what’s a relic?"
He thought to himself.
Of course, he dared not say it out loud, or Niu Ma would stomp him into a tentacle paste.
"Don’t you want to know what’s inside the walnut? What if it is your dad’s last message to you?"
