Chapter 706: Chapter 499 Niu Ma: No way, you actually gave it?

"There’s a student who originally was in another teacher’s class."

"That teacher couldn’t teach well, and said the student was dumb and not putting in effort, so the parents transferred the student to Niu Ma’s class."

"As a result, after the transfer, the student’s grades improved rapidly, and even their personality brightened. The parents complained about the original teacher, accusing them of poor teaching and personal attacks."

"That teacher knew they were at fault and didn’t dare confront the parents, so they resented Niu Ma. Using their connection as a relative of the boss and being an old employee, they often set traps for Niu Ma and spoke sarcastically."

"Recently, they even poached the top student from Niu Ma’s class, causing quite a scene."

The mountain goblin recounted the events in detail.

"Does poaching the top student have any impact?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"If a tutoring class student can get into a good school, not only will the parents express their gratitude, but the tutoring class also gives rewards."

"This track record can also attract more good students, forming a positive cycle."

"Of course, this is what my relative told me; I don’t really know what it means, but it certainly has an impact."

The mountain goblin replied.

"I understand. Do you know that teacher’s information and address?"

He asked again.

"Is my hat fixed?"

The mountain goblin countered.

"I’ve already given it to the Weaving Spider, it will take a while to repair."

Liu Zheng said with a straight face.

"Then I’ll tell you once I get my hat back."

"Okay."

He hung up the phone and scratched his head.

"Damn, almost forgot again."

He cursed under his breath.

There were just too many things going on. After all, Liu Zheng was only human and couldn’t remember everything.

However, he had a clear memory when it came to phone numbers, even forming memory palaces in his mind naturally.

Considering that not saving phone numbers was a rule applied throughout Metropolis, he figured it must be an inherent talent of Metropolis residents.

"It would be great to have another day off."

Liu Zheng sighed.

Another day off, and he could clear all the accumulated tasks.

Well, although it’s also possible that more would accumulate.

Walking into the takeout passage, he placed his tentacle on the wall.

"I’ve found a Pharmacist who can replicate the original formula, and I’ve ordered twenty cans, which should arrive today."

"However, since this is an addictive item, I took the liberty to have it mixed with ingredients that make the taste worse but don’t affect the efficacy. If you really dislike it, just move back a bit, and I’ll have it canceled."

Liu Zheng said.

He quietly waited a few seconds, but there was no movement from the takeout passage.

"I also know a bit about depression. Besides medication, psychological therapy is also important."

"If there’s anything that makes you happy, like wanting to kill someone, eat something, or blow up a place, just tell me, and I’ll do my best to make it happen."

Liu Zheng added.

"Splat!"

A blob of something fell in front of him.

Liu Zheng bent down to fumble for it, picking up a squishy, jelly-like thing. It didn’t feel completely different from jelly; one could say it felt exactly the same.

However, no item prompt appeared.

"Thanks."

Liu Zheng expressed his gratitude, pocketed the item, and continued on his way.

"Such a nice smell!"

Back in the lounge, as soon as he entered, Niu Ma jumped up from the haystack.

"Kid, what tasty treat did you bring back?"

Niu Ma licked his thick lips and said.

"I didn’t bring anything."

Liu Zheng said blankly.

"Impossible, I can smell it. Where is it hidden? Hurry up and let me have a taste."

Niu Ma urged impatiently.

"I really didn’t bring anything; the medicine I ordered hasn’t even arrived yet."

He shrugged.

"Nonsense, it’s in your pocket, I already smelled it."

Niu Ma didn’t buy his story at all.

"In my pocket? You mean this?"

Liu Zheng took out the item he got from the takeout passage from his pocket.

An irregular-shaped, semi-transparent meat jelly with a small bone inside.

"Yes, yes, that’s it. You actually got a piece of ’Meat Bone’."

Niu Ma nodded repeatedly, drooling.

"What’s ’Meat Bone’?"

He asked.

"’Meat Bone’ is a higher grade of ’Meat’, it’s a change in both quantity and quality. Just this piece of ’Meat Bone’ in your hand is worth a hundred pieces of ’Meat’."

Niu Ma said.

"Is it that impressive?"

Without thinking, Liu Zheng opened the Legendary Takeout Box and put the "Meat Bone" inside, just in time to dodge Niu Ma’s pounce.

"Hey, kid, you’re not thinking of hogging it all for yourself, are you? You don’t even have a proper cultivation method, eating it would be a waste, you might as well let me have it."

Niu Ma said, not looking pleased.

"I wasn’t planning on eating it. Last time the Tomb Guardian advised me to stock up on some meat, so this is just what I need for a tomb raid, or maybe I’ll see if I can trade it for something good at an auction."

He replied.

"You’re going to auction off something this good? Are you out of your mind?"

Niu Ma cursed.

"The best things are those you can actually use. If you can trade me something else for it, I’ll give you the ’Meat Bone’."

"I don’t care, I’ve taken several injuries just for you and they’re not healed yet. Give me the ’Meat Bone’ to help me recover."

Niu Ma started whining since logic didn’t work.

"Isn’t Oynk the one collecting ’Meat’? If you want to eat ’Meat Bone,’ you can ask him for some."

Liu Zheng said helplessly.

His big boss was Niu Ma, Niu Ma’s big boss was Oynk, so naturally, Oynk was the big guy.
