Chapter 751: Chapter 522: A Business Deal That Cannot Be Negotiated with Life_2

Of course, just because the effect is average doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt him.

As a reward, the Insect Killing Dagger also resolutely stabbed into Doppler’s heart, straight to the hilt.

"Something’s not right!"

Even though the attack was effective, Liu Zheng became alert instead.

Even the Shark Technique Missile couldn’t kill this guy, there’s no way his attack could succeed so easily.

Either the heart isn’t Doppler’s weak spot, or this isn’t his true form.

Thinking of this, Liu Zheng immediately stomped his foot and retreated explosively.

Unfortunately, despite his quick reaction, he couldn’t match the opponent’s expertly chained moves.

The invisible human figure had already circled behind Liu Zheng at some unknown time, and a similarly invisible two-handed sword spun like a windmill, slicing towards his shoulder.

This sword could not only split a Black Mountain Goat Cub in half but even a solid iron man.

Doppler revealed a satisfied smile, having used this move to take down countless opponents, never failing.

As a result, no one else knew he had such a trump card.

But soon, Doppler’s smile turned into displeasure.

Not only was extra reward missed, but also the information about that two-handed sword expert couldn’t be obtained.

"Damn it, I lost big time."

Despite Doppler’s deep regret, his hands showed no hesitation, as he swung the terrifyingly powerful two-handed sword down.

"Damn it, I hate those who use supernatural abilities. Can’t we just have a good old Turtle Sword duel?"

Liu Zheng cursed in his heart too.

Just as he prepared to transform into the "Angry Demon," a force pressed him down hard.

Instinctively, he wanted to resist but saw Shui Sishisan shaking his head at him.

So Liu Zheng gave up resisting, letting the invisible force press him to the ground.

And the invisible two-handed sword grazed past his shoulder, cutting off his right leg due to inertia.

"Don’t forget."

Shui Sishisan mouthed to him and then turned his back towards him.

"Poof!"

His trousers burst open with a powerful airflow, and a round aphid shot out like a bullet towards Doppler.

Meanwhile, Shui Sishisan shriveled up as if vacuumed, leaving only a deflated bug shell on the ground.

Just as Doppler swung his sword again, the aphid finally hit his arm.

The swelling bug abdomen exploded instantly, with liquid far exceeding its volume splattering everywhere, enveloping Doppler entirely.

In a trance, Liu Zheng saw a slender young man tightly hugging Doppler.

The young man turned his head; his features blurred, even his eyes were hard to discern, leaving only lips as pale as if losing too much blood.

"Please!"

A clear but tired voice rang in Liu Zheng’s ear, then the young man’s figure vanished, and the green liquid wrapped Doppler like a cocoon.

"Rest assured."

He nodded heavily, then used tentacles to prop himself up, hopping forward on one leg.

Three tentacles flailed rapidly like having an electric shock, gripping three knives they furiously slashed at the cocoon.

Green liquid, white skin, and red flesh flew and splattered continuously, mixing together until indistinguishable, then Liu Zheng finally stopped.

"This time, should be truly dead, right?"

He took a breath and used a sawtoothed butcher knife to replace his other leg, limping towards the chairman’s direction.

Upon hearing Liu Zheng approach, the big hat, blasted and riddled with holes like welded to the ground, was slowly lifted, revealing the Antlered Insect’s body.

"Is there really no negotiation? If you think the terms are insufficient, you can make your own."

The Antlered Insect’s voice remained steady.

"Buying with money can be discussed, but buying with life, that’s non-negotiable."

Liu Zheng pointed in Shui Sishisan’s direction.

"I understand. Then can you promise me one request?"

Antlered Insect no longer struggled.

"Go ahead."

"If I die, regardless of Green Culture or my company’s shareholders, they won’t let my family survive. I wish you to protect them."

The Antlered Insect said.

"I have to deliver takeout; I can’t protect them all the time."

He shook his head.

"Not all the time. Just relocate them to a safe place, they’ll handle the rest themselves."

The Antlered Insect said.

"Is the sewer okay?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Sewer? Isn’t it too dangerous there?"

Antlered Insect paused.

"Dangerous for others, but for me, it’s like going home. The sewer’s representative Fisherman is my prospective father-in-law."

He revealed some information.

"Alright, then arrange it in the sewer. No conditions needed, just don’t let them starve."

The Antlered Insect said.

"What about the reward?"

"There’s roughly two million in here."

Antlered Insect tossed the wallet out.

"This wallet has a self-destruct function, but I’ve already disabled it. Also, this is a token; as long as my family sees you taking money from it, they will trust you unconditionally."

Liu Zheng glanced at it and cautiously touched the wallet with a tentacle tip, and an item introduction immediately popped up.

"Name: Portable Small Vault"

"Type: Equipment"

"Quality: Excellent"

"Effect: Can store about one cubic meter of items. Only general equivalents within the current instance."

"Note: Still troubled by your wife’s frequent account checks? Still worried about carrying funds during escape? With this Portable Small Vault, you’ll never have to worry about lacking cash again!"

"Can it leave the instance: Yes"

"Wow, this is quite complex."

He pursed his lips.

If not for receiving nine years of compulsory education, he’d really struggle to understand the item’s effects.

The so-called general equivalents are special commodities separated from the commodity world representing the unified value of all other goods.

Different material conditions and social cultures produce different general equivalents.

Taking reality as an example, human society has seen livestock, furs, shells, metals, and even humans themselves as diverse general equivalents.

Currency itself is also a kind of general equivalent.

By counting banknotes, a cubic meter of space is enough to store over eight million in cash, indeed sufficient.

"Why didn’t you fill it up?"

Liu Zheng said somewhat regretfully.

If he had over eight million, he certainly couldn’t buy Peacock’s life but easily buy others’.

Speaking of tomb-robbing, if he had over eight million, he’d spend a million to bribe the Tomb Guardian, and then buy seven S-class cemetery sweeping packages to hire seven dead as bodyguards, that tomb-robbing would instantly become archeological excavation.

As for that leftover change, seeing Red Pig, the kid quite pitiful, he’d buy a few dozen B-class packages to improve its food.

"A rising company wouldn’t retain too much liquid capital."

Antlered Insect explained.

"Alright then, where are your family?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"There’s a photo in the wallet’s compartment, with the address written on the back."

Antlered Insect said.

Apart from storage space, this Portable Small Vault can also be used as a regular wallet.

He opened the wallet’s compartment, inside was indeed a family portrait.

A family of three, Antlered Insect couple and their daughter, the wife was pretty, and the daughter was cute.

Only Antlered Insect’s solemn face, his wife and daughter’s expressions didn’t look happy, as if they were forced at gunpoint for the photo.

"Doesn’t your family like to smile naturally?"

Liu Zheng mocked.

"My heart is tied up in my career, occasionally stern with them upon returning home."

Antlered Insect sighed.

"Understood."

He said no more.

Every family has its difficulties; balancing materiality and companionship, even great figures cannot grasp.

Luckily, he was an orphan without such worries.

"I have one final request."

Antlered Insect said again.

"Your requests are too many, keep going and I’ll suspect you’re stalling."

Liu Zheng warned.

"This time really is the last."

Antlered Insect promised.

"Alright then, go ahead."
