It's a hell game, who can still be a human being?

Chapter 390 Liu Zheng: I'm not the protagonist

He looked at the burned area. Under the disguise of the sexy outfit, a black mark was emitting a faint red light.

"This seems to be given by the beggars, the black group?"

Liu Zheng thought about it.

"Well, they seem to squeak, too. Are you related to them?"

He held the mark in front of the pressed black ball.

"Squeak!"

The black ball struggled to express affirmation with his eyes.

"Want me to save you?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Squeak!!!"

The black ball screamed even louder.

"alright."

Anyway, I have helped once, so I don’t mind helping again. The cost of silence is this.

"Master Hachijo, you heard it, it asked me to help you."

Liu Zheng shouted towards Bajo.

"If you want to help, just help. Why waste so much time talking?"

Yajo said impatiently.

He waved his arms faster and faster, and only afterimages could be seen.

"Mr. Hachijo, you really can't tie a knot like this?"

Liu Zheng asked with concern.

"If you keep talking, I'll throw you into the pot and boil you. Human flesh is also a good medicinal ingredient. It nourishes yin and yang, promotes blood circulation and nourishes the skin."

Bajo said sinisterly.

"I was wrong."

He gave in decisively.

"Humph."

Hachijo ignored him.

Liu Zheng looked at his back and thought for a while, then he lifted a corner of the erotic costume, and a small section of the thick tentacles stretched out.

"Ok?"

Hachijo's body stiffened for a moment, then he continued with his work as if nothing had happened.

"Don't you ask, Master Hachijo?"

He pretended not to see it, but Liu Zheng took the initiative to tease him.

"I'm busy. Don't bother me. Just do your work."

Hachijo said bluntly.

"okay."

He responded with a grin, then stretched out all four tentacles.

Hachijo's body stiffened again, but he still didn't say anything.

"As expected of an old man, he is very experienced and knows how to be confused."

Liu Zheng praised in his heart and then lowered his tentacles.

As soon as the tentacles touched the coal, a sizzling sound like frying steak was heard.

The outermost layer carbonized rapidly, and the air was filled with the aroma of barbecue and the stench of burning.

"That's awesome! If I use this to bake sweet potatoes, it will be so delicious."

He raised the coal, muttering to himself.

The weight of these special coal blocks was heavier than he expected, almost twenty or thirty kilograms.

It's so heavy, the size of a palm, that it would be a bit difficult to carry in a metropolitan area.

But now, with the attribute enhancements of various takeaways and the high bonus of the legendary vest, it is still very easy.

"Jiji!"

Without the weight of the coal, the black ball shouted with joy.

Then it took a deep breath, and its body swelled back to its original shape.

The eyeballs are still bulging, and the original cute and silly look has turned into ugly and cute.

"You guys pile all the coal here and I'll carry it together."

Liu Zheng said, pointing to the empty space next to him.

"Chi! Chi! Chi!"

The black guys looked at each other, quickly exchanged opinions, nodded at him, and then took action.

Soon, a small hill of dirt piled up at Liu Zheng's feet.

At this moment, a sign suddenly fell from the ceiling and hung in front of Bajo.

"Hurry up, the great streamer is going to take a bath."

Bajo took a look, his face changed drastically and he shouted loudly.

"coming."

Liu Zheng took out the human bone crutch, looked at the four tentacles again, and after thinking about it, he simply put the crutch in his mouth.

It tastes slightly salty and has a complex fishy smell, probably because it got stained with something when it was used before.

But he had eaten so much shit that he didn't care about the smell anymore.

"Hey! Ha!"

Liu Zheng squatted down, wrapped his four tentacles around a circle of coal, then straightened his back and stood up.

Then he rushed towards the boiler at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.

With the help of the human bone crutch, he was able to get past the black ball in front of him and reach the filling port first.

"Just to ask, I don't have to jump in myself, right?"

Liu Zheng asked vaguely, biting his crutch.

"If you want to jump I won't stop you."

Yajo said expressionlessly.

"Next time, I'll jump when I want to do the cupping next time."

As he read the random reply, he threw the coal in his arms into the filling port with all his strength.

With so much fuel added at once, the flame in the boiler immediately exploded and swallowed Liu Zheng like a fire dragon.

Fortunately, the invisible barrier remained strong and blocked all the overflowing flames.

"I'm throwing so much at once, won't the boiler explode?"

He asked somewhat worriedly.

Liu Zheng was not worried about himself, but about Jingzi.

I hope that Jingzi is not killed by Grandma Tang, but is killed by the boiler explosion caused by him. That would be a real Russian-style rescue.

"It won't explode even if you blow it up. Go on. You can't even boil water with this fire."

Eight said.

"Ok."

Liu Zheng's tentacles whipped each other, knocking off the outermost layer of carbon shell.

The carbon shell can isolate some of the high temperatures, but if it is too thick it will affect the operation.

The black debris fell away, revealing the lighter-colored carbon shell inside.

The carbon shell was torn apart by the new flesh and blood, revealing streaks of pink.

"This growth rate is a bit too fast to keep up."

Liu Zheng frowned slightly.

The high temperature carbonizes the meat and it cannot be recycled.

At this moment, Bajo suddenly grabbed something from the cabinet and handed it to him.

"eat."

Yajo said succinctly.

"what is this?"

Liu Zheng asked, looking at the pile of eyeballs in his hand.

"The eyeball of a fire spider."

“Are you sure this isn’t a human eyeball?”

He asked with empty eyes.

"Forget it if you don't want to eat."

Bajo said as he was about to put it back.

"Eat. You'd be a bastard if you don't take advantage of a bargain."

Liu Zheng spat out the human bone crutch and opened his mouth as wide as possible.

"Please throw it in my mouth."

"so troublesome."

Yajo complained, then slapped his eyeballs into his mouth.

"Old man, did you do this on purpose?"

Liu Zheng wiped his mouth and said with his eyes.

"I did it on purpose, what do you want?"

Yajo responded with the same look.

"Not so much!"

He picked up the human bone crutch, held it in his mouth, and rushed down the platform.

Although the system did not pop up an item introduction, the fire-proof spider's eyeballs are indeed very effective.

The burning effect of the coal on him was reduced by at least 70%, which was almost the same as the effect of flesh and blood regeneration.

With this guarantee, Liu Zheng's speed in transporting coal blocks has been improved to a higher level.

Going back and forth between the filling port and the coal pile, looking at the black balls around him trying to avoid being stepped on, he inexplicably had a strong sense of déjà vu.

He remembered watching a movie in which the protagonist accidentally entered the land of Lilliputians, and then used his huge body to help the Lilliputians carry stones and build city walls.

What Liu Zheng is doing now is similar to the hero in the movie, except that the person he is helping has changed from a villain to a little black ball.

"Well, did that movie have a good ending or a bad ending?"

Because it was so long ago, he didn't think about this question until he finished moving the coal pile.

Yajo shouted in a drawn-out voice.

“Chi~Chi~Chi~Chi~”

The black guys also held hands and started singing.

They sang and spun in circles, faster and faster.

Later on, the black ball on the outside was thrown directly into the air.

"Add some firewood!"

Bajo shouted again.

"Hey, isn't it?"

Liu Zheng had a bad feeling.

Immediately, his premonition came true.

The black balls flew up in bunches and then flew straight into the stuffing port.

Fire is strong!

The golden flame gradually turned into golden white, then to pure white, and finally into blue-white.

The terrifyingly high temperature burned the furnace body red, and the air around the boiler was distorted.

"damn it."

Liu Zheng wiped the sweat from his face and cursed under his breath.

Soon, all the black balls outside threw themselves into the sea of fire, and the black ball that could squeak was no exception.

"The soup is here."

Yajo picked up eight copper pots and poured the colorful medicinal soup inside into the big pot at the top of the boiler.

"BOOM!"

The mixed medicinal soup soon exploded, creating colorful fireworks, and a strange medicinal fragrance filled the entire boiler room.

Eight ropes were pulled and a split bamboo tube was extended from the ceiling and inserted into the cauldron.

The medicinal soup turned into colorless and transparent and flowed back upwards along the bamboo tube.

"Whoo~"

Bajiao let out a long breath and then stretched his muscles.

Guests of Ohkawa's level are both a fortune and a burden to the bathhouse.

The needs of each customer are different, and the burden on each department is also different.

The large flow creates the greatest pressure on the boiler room.

When a big fire is started, not only a large number of black balls are consumed, but also the essence of the eight strands themselves.

Although it can be made up for afterwards, the feeling is very uncomfortable and it will also leave irreparable damage.

Fortunately, although Okawa's visit to the bathhouse was irregular, on average the frequency was still very low, otherwise Hachijo would have to resign even if he had to borrow money from loan sharks.

"It doesn't feel good to do useless work, kid."

He turned his head and glanced at Liu Zheng's expression and said.

"is a bit."

Liu Zheng nodded.

"Well, I thought you would say something like, I don't care about the result, but I just want to have a clear conscience."

Yajo said with some surprise.

"Such a cool thing should be said by the protagonist, right? I'm just a small fry."

He shrugged.

"There's a mismatch between what you say and what you do, kid."

Yajo glanced at his chest and said.

At some point, Liu Zheng had retracted his tentacles.

"I don't understand what you are saying."

He smiled back.

"Heh, you cunning little devil. Actually, your efforts are not completely in vain."

Eight said.

"Oh? What do you say?"

“Can you give me a massage?”

Eight non-answer questions.

"You're always scolding me, but we're in the massage department."

Liu Zheng pointed at the clothes on his body.

To be honest, he is now wearing three layers of clothes and is in a place like the boiler room.

If it weren't for his extraordinary physique, he would have fainted by now.

"Then give me a good massage. If it doesn't work, leave immediately."

Eight said.

"Please, old man. If you can't do it, we can crawl out by ourselves."

Liu Zheng said confidently.

"Why do you speak in such a strange tone?"

Yajo frowned.

"Dialect, once you get used to it, it'll be fine."

He climbed onto the platform again and placed his hands on Yajo's shoulders.

"Yes, it's right here, comfortable~"

After Liu Zheng rubbed off a sticky patch of muscle, Ba Tiao let out a long sigh and his long beard began to tremble.

"That Thirteenth Yao guy is also heartless. It took him so long to send anyone down."

Feeling the soreness in his shoulders, Yajo couldn't help but complain.

"So the Minister asked me to come down to give you a massage?"

Liu Zheng was speechless.

"Not entirely. You beat up a guest right after you arrived, so it might be a good idea for you to come to my place to avoid the limelight."

"Don't think so badly of your minister. As long as you don't compete with him for women, he is still a good boss."

Bajo shook his head.

"Don't move."

He held Ba Tiao's head in place and began to straighten his cervical spine with heavy force.

This old man is worthy of being a boilerman, his whole body is as stiff as a piece of coal.

If he were not a human, he would probably be paralyzed by now.

"Oh. Well, if you don't help, the boiler will have to burn for a little longer, and then more firewood will be needed."

Bajo responded and said.

"Oh."

Liu Zheng didn't comment, but his expression became a little brighter.

"You know these little things?"

Yajo suddenly asked.

"On the way to the bathing place, I met a group of black balls begging from me. I thought they were quite interesting, so I gave them a little more."

As for which bathhouse you are visiting, there is no need to emphasize this.

"Is this one point of yours actually a billion points?"

Bajiao curled his lips.

"Money is something you can't bring with you. Well, money is a bastard anyway, just spend it happily."

Liu Zheng paused and said.

He found that many common sayings in real life were not applicable in the metropolis, such as the one he was just about to say.

Firstly, the fact that nothing can be taken with the dead is very doubtful.

Secondly, it is hard to say whether one is born with this ability or not.

If even Jia Baoyu could be born with a piece of jade, then it is reasonable for the second generation of rich people in metropolitan areas to be born with two gold bars in their hands.

"Humph, young people are young, they don't know how hard it is to make money. When you reach my age, you will know the importance of saving money."

Eight teachings.

"Excuse me, how old are you this year?"

"I am already one hundred and eighty years old this year."

Yajo stroked his white beard and said.

"Well, I probably won't know then."

Liu Zheng's mouth twitched.

He lived to be 180 years old, but he was not even sure whether he would live to see tomorrow.

"crunch~"

The iron door was pushed open again.

Liu Zheng looked back and found that it was an acquaintance.

"Sister Yoko, why are you here?"
