Chapter 81: Chapter 81 I Want You to Woo My Daughter

"Trying to run away?"

The middle-aged man sneered and swung his right arm.

His right arm spun like a windmill, then he abruptly flung it forward.

Under the action of centrifugal force, the middle-aged man’s arm kept extending forward, stretching out until it turned into a thin fishing rod.

The fleshy fishing line caught up with Liu Zheng, and the bony fish hook pierced his spine.

Liu Zheng was terrified and struggled furiously to break free.

But the hair-thin fishing line was exceptionally tough, impossible to break.

He immediately squeezed the boning knife between his forehooves and chopped down at the fishing line.

However, the boning knife, usually so reliable, could not make even the slightest impact on the fishing line this time.

The middle-aged man pulled back, and Liu Zheng immediately flew up, crashing down in front of him.

"Run, why aren’t you running now?"

The middle-aged man said disdainfully.

"Uh..."

He felt this dialogue was somewhat familiar.

"Speak, who sent you to steal the fish?"

The middle-aged man shouted.

Hearing this, Liu Zheng paused the motion of reaching for his teeth-grinding stick.

Interrogation is good, interrogation means there is a chance to communicate.

"I am an employee of the Bloody Restaurant, the Executive Chef Napoleon sent me to fish for the giant mouth whale. I didn’t know the fish was yours, my apologies."

He said, half-truthfully.

"As I suspected, that damn chicken."

The middle-aged man sneered, it seemed he had anticipated Liu Zheng’s answer.

"Didn’t it tell you not to fish in this area? Is it trying to break the treaty and go to war with me again?"

He questioned.

"Napoleon didn’t mention it. Besides, I didn’t come here on purpose, I was thrown down here by Ghost Hand."

Liu Zheng replied.

"Who is Ghost Hand?"

"He’s the expediter at the restaurant."

He described what Ghost Hand looked like.

The middle-aged man paused, taking a careful look at Liu Zheng.

"What is your relationship with it?"

He asked.

"I’ve treated it to a few drinks."

Liu Zheng replied.

He mentioned nothing about the Legendary delivery man skeleton or the Chaos Club gold card.

"Humph, considering you genuinely didn’t know, I can pardon you this once; and, you can also take the fish."

The middle-aged man said after pondering for a moment.

"But?"

"How did you know I had a ’but’?"

"Around here, everyone’s like that, I’ve gotten used to it,"

Liu Zheng shrugged.

None of these weird residents ever let you off easy; if they give you three parts, they’ll take back seven.

Except for the French Plane Tree.

But that’s also because beverages are scarce for it, and they offer additional emotional value.

"Well, you are somewhat clever. Being clever, I’ll cut to the chase,"

"I want you to date my daughter,"

The middle-aged man stated.

"No problem, what?"

His face turned into an expression of o.0?

He had thought the middle-aged man would ask him to help with fishing, or something related to fish.

"Uh, sir,"

"Call me Fisherman."

"Okay, Fisherman sir. You may not believe this, but I’ve actually never wooed a girl,"

Liu Zheng said diplomatically.

Because he’s always the one being wooed.

With his decent looks, a body trained in martial arts, and that somewhat melancholic temperament, he indeed had quite a following among women.

Though it was all limited to dating.

The type of women Liu Zheng was interested in were no fools; they did not conflate dating with marriage.

"Then you can go feed the fish,"

The Fisherman said, about to toss him into the river.

"No, with my current fierce and aggressive appearance, your daughter definitely won’t be interested,"

Liu Zheng said helplessly.

"My daughter isn’t the type of vulgar woman who only cares about appearances,"

The Fisherman declared proudly.

"Then what does she value?"

"I don’t know."

The Fisherman shook his head.

"Haha."

He looked up at the sky.

"Finding out her likes and dislikes is your job, just tell me if you agree or not?"

The fisherman said impatiently.

"Why do you insist on me courting your daughter?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Because I don’t like that Huang Mao who plays with will-o’-the-wisps!"

The fisherman said loudly.

"The thought of his will-o’-the-wisp stopping at my fish pond someday makes me rather pulverize myself!"

"Uh, calm down, it hasn’t happened yet."

Liu Zheng bravely patted his shoulder.

"It’s about to happen, that kid even picked her up from work yesterday!"

"Now he dares to pick her up after work, I don’t even want to think about what he’ll dare to do next."

The fisherman covered his face with his hand.

"Alright, I agree to help you court your daughter."

Liu Zheng sighed.

"That’s more like it."

The fisherman released him.

"But I don’t guarantee that I’ll succeed."

He emphasized.

"Then you go and get rid of that Huang Mao for me."

The fisherman said fiercely.

"How about I just go and get rid of him then?"

Liu Zheng suggested.

Compared to flirting, he was still better at killing.

"What do you mean? You don’t fancy my daughter?"

The fisherman said in a menacing tone.

"How could that be? Seeing your dignified appearance, your daughter must be lively and vivid."

Liu Zheng hurriedly explained.

"That’s for sure, my daughter has always looked like me."

The fisherman said proudly.

"Well..."

"No buts, you must court my daughter."

"Alright."

A man under a fishing rod must bow his head.

"Don’t worry, you won’t be courting in vain. If you succeed in winning my daughter, this fish is yours."

The fisherman swung his rod and fished out a pure black fish from the dirty river.

"Name: Black Koi"

"Type: Item"

"Quality: Excellent"

"Effect: Upon consumption, the player’s Luck Value will drop to 0 points for 24 hours. After 24 hours, the player’s Luck Value will increase to its maximum value for 1 minute."

"Note: Do you want to be a lifelong loser or a lucky person for a minute?"

"Allowable outside the instance: No"

Goodness, Luck Value straight to 0, even a sneeze could burst a brain vessel then.

I dare not eat it, dare not eat it.

"Hey, wait a second."

Just as Liu Zheng was about to ask if he could get another reward, he suddenly remembered something.

"System, is this Luck Value drop to 0 points a constant value or a fixed value?"

He asked inwardly.

"Fixed value."

The system replied.

"Then it’s fine."

Liu Zheng was elated.

Niu Ma had a Lucky Joker Card.

If he used the Lucky Joker Card after eating the Black Koi, he could increase his Luck Value to a positive value.

He might still be unlucky, but it likely wouldn’t be fatal.

As long as he could mitigate this major drawback, such conceptual ability could be effectively infinite.

For instance, he could go to the casino again, this time winning millions outright and booking a room in the Bloody Restaurant.

Or he could rummage through that trash can again, maybe finding even more impressive items.

"Alright, I agree."

Liu Zheng nodded.

"You’re much smarter than that Huang Mao. Take it."

The fisherman threw the Black Koi to him.

"Aren’t you afraid I’ll take the item and run?"

He was a bit surprised.

"If I were afraid you’d run, I wouldn’t have let you go."

The fisherman scoffed.

"If you dare take the money and not do the job, someone will take care of you for me."

"Doesn’t matter."

After all, Liu Zheng didn’t plan on reneging.

Working with these bizarre residents was always dealing with the devil, but not cooperating meant being devoured right away.

"Let’s talk about your daughter."

He put away the Black Koi and asked.
