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

Chapter 680: Chapter 486: System, You Set Me Up!

"I guessed that."

Liu Zheng nodded.

"So Liu Zheng will protect me, meow?"

San Huamao lifted her head, blinking her big eyes as she asked.

"Of course, even if you don’t accompany me this time, I’ll still protect you."

He petted the little cat’s head and said.

"My mom said, spend a lifetime with one owner and make just one friend. Give the last lump of poop to your friend, and they’ll give you the last bone to chew."

San Huamao said.

"Listening to your example, your mom isn’t a cat, right?"

Liu Zheng tugged at the corner of his mouth.

"Of course not, meow. My mom is a German Shepherd, super handsome, meow."

San Huamao said proudly.

"And you can still like Dried Fish, shows the power of genetics is really strong."

He squinted as he spoke.

"By the way, not your biological mom, right?"

"Don’t know, meow. I only have one mom, meow."

San Huamao shook her head.

"Alright. It’s fine, having one mom is quite a lot."

He didn’t even have one.

"Alright, cut the crap. Take this."

The Pond Master opened his mouth, spitting out a palm-sized turtle shell.

"What is this?"

Liu Zheng picked up the turtle shell, but there was no item description popping up.

"You don’t need to care what it is. If you really encounter a life-and-death crisis, recite ’When does the shell shed for human form’."

The Pond Master said.

"And then?"

"And then you can run off with the Salmon. With your healing ability plus the thousand-year turtle spirit’s physique, as long as the Peacock doesn’t want to wreck the Emperor’s Garden, it shouldn’t kill you. You also have Extraordinary Items for escaping, right?"

The Pond Master asked.

"Yes."

Not only yes, but there are quite a few.

"Then it’s fine. At that time, if things don’t look good, use it immediately, don’t hesitate."

The Pond Master advised.

"This turtle shell doesn’t have side effects, right?"

"After using it, you’ll turn into a Stone Turtle. Only after absorbing enough essence of the sun and moon can you regain the ability to move."

The Pond Master said.

"I knew it."

Liu Zheng squinted his eyes.

If there were no side effects, why would it be given to him and not San Huamao?

"You kid still find fault, this turtle shell is considered a treasure in the sewers. I went through a lot of trouble to get it. If it weren’t for the Salmon, I wouldn’t give it to you."

The Pond Master rolled his eyes at him.

"Can it be removed?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Yes, if someone can smash the turtle shell, it’ll naturally be removed. Of course, you’d be dead."

"No other way?"

He asked with a frown.

"Yes, the answer is in the activation Spell."

The Pond Master replied.

"Activation Spell?"

"’When does the shell shed for human form,’ When you cultivate into a human, you can naturally shed the shell."

The Pond Master said.

"Is it a dead loop here?"

To cultivate into a human, you must shed the shell; but to shed the shell, you must cultivate into a human. Saying it is like saying nothing.

No wonder a turtle spirit cultivated for over a thousand years and still asked, with this method, cultivating for ten thousand years is useless.

"Being alive is better than being dead. Are you wearing it or not? If not, I’ll take the Salmon back."

The Pond Master threatened.

"I’ll wear it, okay?"

Liu Zheng stuffed the turtle shell into his pocket.

A thousand-year turtle and ten-thousand-year tortoise. If this turtle spirit’s state remains after the instance, it would be like gaining ten-thousand years of life, quite a bargain.

Wait, is this Hell’s Game granting his wish?

"System, you’re scheming against me!"

Liu Zheng cursed in his heart.

The system made no response, not know whether it was acquiescing or just ignored him.

"What about this bucket of fish?"

He looked at the bucket of fish in the tentacle, feeling a bit conflicted.

He couldn’t store it in the system space, and couldn’t possibly tell the opponent during a fight not to knock over the fish bucket, right?

But asking the French Plane Tree for safekeeping would incur a storage fee.

"Got it."

Liu Zheng suddenly had a brainwave and walked into the delivery passage.

"Can you help me keep these fish?"

He pressed the tentacle against the wall and asked.

Soon, a heartbeat-like sensation came from the tip of the tentacle.

He thought, it should mean yes.

"Thank you."

Liu Zheng thanked, then put the bucket of fish on the ground and walked out of the passage.

"Colonel, are the Hounds ready?"

He made a call to the Driver.

"It’s ready. What, are you going to stir up another war?"

The Driver asked with great interest.

"Don’t make me sound like a war merchant. I’m going to the Emperor’s Garden to deliver food."

"Emperor’s Garden? Weren’t you promised by City Hall?"

The Driver reacted quickly.

"Not ordered by the Peacock. But the situation is too coincidental, causing me some concern, so I’m asking you to come and protect us."

Liu Zheng inadvertently flattered.

"Hahaha, I can’t beat the Peacock. But the courage to fire a shot at her, I not only have, but it’s very big. In fact, I should thank you for giving me this opportunity."

The Driver laughed.

If he could embarrass the Peacock, Si Xue wouldn’t miss the chance to reward him.

Although the Driver was deeply bound to the restaurant, Si Xue, as the restaurant owner, could still offer him plenty of conveniences.

Hang up the call, and the "Hounds" soon thundered over from afar.

"Huh, where’s the cannon barrel gone?"

Liu Zheng looked at the front of the tank and asked.

There used to be a small pipe there, now there’s simply a hole.

"How’s it gone?"

As he spoke, the Driver, turned into a cylinder, crawled out of the hole.

"Isn’t this it?"

He laughed as he said.

"Goodness, are you planning to shoot yourself out?"

Liu Zheng asked, horrified.

"Of course. Ordinary shells can’t compare to my human cannon. Not just the Peacock, even the sewer hit by me would be in chaos."
