Chapter 703: Chapter 497: Defeat the Damn Metropolis_2

Its facade looked almost like an ordinary residence, except for the "Open Today" sign with a bee carrying a medicine box engraved below it.

The combination seemed as if to avoid being found by others.

Liu Zheng stepped forward and knocked on the wooden sign with a tentacle.

"Who?"

A deep voice came from inside the house.

"I was introduced by Doctor Nile."

He said.

"What are you buying?"

The person inside the house asked again.

"Diyega. Here’s a bottle that used to hold it; can you restore the formula?"

Liu Zheng took out the medicine jar.

"Put it in."

The door opened slightly, revealing a crack, and the inside was pitch black.

"Alright."

He bent down, placed the medicine jar on the ground, and pushed it inside with a tentacle.

Since the person didn’t want much conversation, Liu Zheng obliged them.

"How’s Doctor Nile doing lately? Has his foolish daughter been cured yet?"

Seemingly satisfied with Liu Zheng’s polite conduct, the person inside the house started chatting.

"Pretty good, with plenty of patients, and the leisure life is quite fulfilling, Sasha’s condition is also improving."

Liu Zheng replied.

"Oh? How did he manage that?"

The person inside seemed genuinely interested.

"Which part are you asking about?"

"All of it."

"Regarding patients, I got him an entire street of people as patients. For leisure life, I took him into and out of the city, cutting down many humans and non-humans. And for Sasha, I got special products from the cemetery’s Tomb Guardian that can enhance the intellect of the Dead."

He took the opportunity to show off his muscles as he answered.

"An entire street of people as patients. Can you get me a street of people too?"

The person inside latched onto the key point.

"What should I call you?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"You can call me Medicine Bee."

The person inside replied.

"Alright, Doctor Medicine Bee. For patients that Doctor Nile couldn’t cure, I can refer them here to you."

He nodded.

Although Doctor Nile is a general practitioner with decent skills, everyone has their specialty, and it’s perfectly normal that those from the Pink Kingdom have illnesses he can’t treat.

Referring them to Medicine Bee isn’t a bad idea, it’s better than waiting to die at home.

What? You say hospital?

That’s worse than waiting to die at home.

"Unnecessary. I don’t want them here for treatment, but for drug trials."

Medicine Bee said.

"What kind of drugs? Are there risks?"

Liu Zheng frowned slightly.

"All kinds of drugs. Yes, there are risks, and they’re significant."

"In that case, I must decline."

He immediately refused.

Those in the Pink Kingdom already live miserably enough; he couldn’t prevent prostitution, but deceiving them for drug trials? Even if he were heartless, he couldn’t do something like that.

"A trial subsidy of 1000 for each person, and you decide how much to share with them. Additionally, I can supply you with high-quality Diyega at a 20% discount."

Medicine Bee offered his terms.

"It’s not about the money. Besides, I’m not buying Diyega to sell it."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

My goodness, not only was he supposed to be a human trafficker, but also a drug pusher.

Only in Metropolis— in reality, this guy would’ve been executed dozens of times.

"Uh...maybe not quite."

Thinking of some bizarre real-world operations of certain major countries, he showed a subtle expression.

"They all say that. 1500 per person, and double the Diyega allocation."

Medicine Bee upped the ante.

"It’s useless, I want a price you can’t pay."

Liu Zheng said calmly.

If Medicine Bee could help him overthrow his mother’s Metropolis and rebuild a new world for her, he might consider being a test subject himself.

Unfortunately, Medicine Bee can’t do it, not even the Red Ghost can.

"Then you can leave."

Medicine Bee said bluntly.

"Doctor Medicine Bee doesn’t want to do business with me?"

"You’ve displeased me, and I don’t deal with people who displease me."

Medicine Bee said.

"Quite principled. Then may I have my medicine jar back?"

He didn’t insist.

Just an addictive product, if Medicine Bee won’t provide it, he’ll find someone else; the Bai Family outside the wall might be able to.

"What medicine jar?"

Medicine Bee asked back.

"Hmm? This behavior is rather petty, isn’t it?"

Liu Zheng immediately realized.

"I don’t know what you’re talking about. Here’s a pack of medicine, take it and go quickly, don’t delay my business."

An oil paper package was thrown from inside the door, flying towards him.

Liu Zheng didn’t catch it, instead, he flicked his hand and drew it back.

"Do you think I’m stupid? If I take it, it’d be like you trading this for my medicine jar."

He sneered.

"You’re smarter than you look."

Medical Bee seemed a bit surprised.

"Doctor Nile might not have told you about my situation. Of course, he probably didn’t expect you’d pull off such a stunt either."

"I’m not very smart, but I’m definitely not stupid. And I have a bad temper; I do things ruthlessly."

"Out of respect for Doctor Nile, I’ll give you a chance to return the medicine jar to me."

"Otherwise, I guarantee you and your pharmacy will be crushed to pieces finer than crushed chips."

Liu Zheng took out the Three-Inch Mirror, the sunlight reflected from its surface into the room and was refracted by two thin wings into brilliant rays.

A boss of a shady pharmacy dared to threaten him, truly defying Tian Gang.

If he didn’t give a good beating, where would the face of those he had dealt with go? Where would the face of the big shots who had stamped him go?

"City Ranger?!"

Feeling the aura emanating from the Three-Inch Mirror, Medical Bee’s wings shrunk in fright.

"Who? Oh."

Liu Zheng was stunned for a moment before realizing it was talking about Sha Jiang.

"You’ve seen Brother Sha?"

"Seen, seen him."

Medical Bee replied timidly.

"It’s good that you’ve seen him. Sealed in the mirror is Brother Sha’s dark side. As long as I give him a command, hm-hm."

He said in a sinister tone.

"No!"

Medical Bee screamed again.

"Then behave. Otherwise, I’ll call Brother Sha over, with his dark side to serve you jointly, ensuring you wish for death, longing to die, but unable to die."

Liu Zheng said coldly.

"I will, I will. Just put the mirror away first, it’s too scary."

Medical Bee said difficultly.

"It’s scared the bee."

He corrected, then put away the Three-Inch Mirror.

With the second life given by "Ra’s favor," he no longer had to act so tense and could let both himself and the counterpart relax a little.

"Where did you get this medicine jar from?"

Medical Bee asked.

"Can’t say."

"Alright. You found me, others definitely wouldn’t be able to tell."

Medical Bee boasted.

"Cut the crap. Can you make it?"

Liu Zheng said bluntly.

"Yes, how much do you need?"

Medical Bee asked.

"Is this stuff harmful?"

"Everyone’s constitution is different, can’t generalize. But the drug effect of this formula is quite special, less about pain relief and hallucination, mainly for treating depression."

Medical Bee said.

"Treating depression?"

Liu Zheng was stunned for a moment.

Can a passage even feel depressed?

"So can you add something that won’t affect the efficacy but will make the medicine taste awful?"

He thought for a moment and asked.

"I can, but why?"

Medical Bee asked, puzzled.

"Just add it when I ask, why so much nonsense?"

While speaking, Liu Zheng was about to take out the mirror.

Seeing through the essence of the other party’s cowardice, his communication style changed accordingly.

"Alright. How much do you need?"

"I’ll take as much as you have."

He said.

"Right now, I can give you up to twenty jars."

Medical Bee calculated and said.

"Then twenty jars, and you quickly replenish your stock."

Liu Zheng said.

"Ten thousand bucks."

"So expensive?"

This kid isn’t secretly gouging, is he?

"Already gave you a big discount, others would pay at least twenty thousand. You can ask Doctor Nile to verify. If he says I’m lying, you can tear down my pharmacy."

Medical Bee protested.

"Alright, I’ll reluctantly trust you this time. How soon can it be ready?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"This kind of formula requires a very complex process, at least three hours."

"Then I can’t wait, I’ll have my buddy come to pick it up, he’s a Minotaur. The contact code is..."

He thought for a moment and said.

"Just use ’the king covers the tigers.’

"And the next line?"

Medical Bee didn’t hear the rest and asked.
