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

Chapter 456 Confiscating Liu Zheng’s Tools

"Brother, it's a bit hurtful when you say that."

Liu Zheng smiled bitterly.

"Brother, I think you are not considered a human being now, right?"

The second child laughed.

His face turned red and he argued: "Half-human cannot be considered not-human... half-human!... How can the mixed-blood thing be considered only one side?"

Then, Liu Zheng and Sheng Lao Er both laughed, and the security booth was filled with a happy atmosphere.

"So according to what you mean, Professor New wants me to walk his dog again?"

He got back to the point.

"Not really. I've never seen him walking his dog at night."

The second child shook his head.

"Then he doesn't want me to be dog food, does he?"

Liu Zhengxu said with his eyes fixed.

"Probably not. With Professor New's status, it's easy for him to buy dog food. Besides, you were able to walk the dog smoothly last time. If he doesn't want to find a new person, he will definitely not feed you to the dog."

The second child thought for a while and said.

"That makes sense. So what do you think he wants to do, brother?"

He asked.

"I think he might want to take back your teether."

The second son said.

"Ah? What do you say?"

"It's obvious. He's the only one in the whole metropolis who keeps a hound of Tindalos. You walk around with that tooth stick every day. If you use it and cause trouble one day, it will definitely be his fault."

The second son said.

"Makes sense."

Liu Zheng nodded and started to think about it.

This teething stick can be regarded as the first strategic deterrent weapon in his hand, and it is a type that can kill both parties.

Although Liu Zheng had two teleportation props, the express delivery slip and the elevator key, it was unlikely that the other party would be able to escape given his ability to travel through time and space.

He wasn't even completely sure whether he could escape the Hounds of Tindalos after completing the copy.

And this teething stick was originally given to him by the mini-man's pet hound. The other party would definitely be able to track him, so it was impossible for him to escape.

Since the mini-man didn't send the Hound of Tindalos directly to ask him for it, but instead specifically ordered a takeaway, it was obvious that he wanted to adopt a gentle way of communication.

In this case, there is no need for Liu Zheng to actively provoke the other party.

After reviewing Sheng Lao Er's description of the mini-man, he made up his mind.

"Thank you, brother. You go ahead and do your work. I'm going to deliver the food."

He said to the second child.

"Go ahead. But I suggest you don't get into a fight with Professor New. His dog is really vicious."

The second child reminded.

"clear."

Liu Zheng entered the residential complex, found Building 7 with ease, and then came to the door of Building 1503.

"Dong dong dong."

He knocked on the door and then looked down.

The door opened, and this time he spotted the mini-man first.

"Hello, this is your takeaway, please sign for it."

Liu Zheng said politely, then glanced around and didn't see the Hound of Tindalos.

Seeing this, he became more determined in his plan.

"Also, these are the pet supplies you lost. I am returning them to you in their original form."

He took out the teething stick, squatted down and placed it in front of the mini-man.

"Ok?"

Liu Zheng's actions made the mini-man at a loss, and he swallowed back the words he had prepared.

"what do you mean?"

After a moment's silence, the mini-man spoke.

"Ah? What do you mean?"

Liu Zheng looked confused.

"This is the reward from Tindalos, not what I lost."

The mini-man said.

"But I don't think the pay is commensurate with the work I do, so it's like something I picked up."

"Are you trying to help me clear myself of the matter?"

The mini-man seemed to understand his idea.

“You can understand it that way.”

Liu Zheng said.

"We've only met once, and it was just an employer-employee relationship. You don't have to go to this extent."

The mini-man said.

"So you don't understand me. My principle is to respect others as much as I respect them. You didn't send Tindalos to ask for it directly, nor did you send it out to intimidate me. This is a sign of respect for me."

"Since you respect me, I must consider you."

he said seriously.

"Have you been to school?"

the mini-man asked.

"No."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

He certainly didn't go to school at the Met.

"Have you ever read a book?"

"I have read it."

He nodded.

"Yes, you should read more. Even in a metropolitan city, it is good to read more books. Of course, I am talking about public books. Don't read those professional books or banned books."

The mini-man stressed.

"I understand. The ocean of learning is endless. If you row without thinking, you will drown in the ocean."

Liu Zheng said.

"That's true. What a pity. If you weren't a delivery man from the Bloody Restaurant, I could recommend you to attend a refresher course."

The mini-man said regretfully.

You can also get a diploma after attending a university's advanced training course and passing the exam. Although it cannot be compared with a real university diploma, it still has value due to the high standards for admission and graduation.

"It doesn't matter. Delivering food is also good. I just enjoy the feeling of traveling around different places in the city and meeting different people."

Liu Zheng was not lying, he really enjoyed the novel and exciting experience in the metropolis.

Even with the constant threat of death, he was still addicted to it deep down in his heart.

In a sense, it makes sense that his first copy would be Metropolis.

"Interesting young man, come in."

After the mini-man finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the sofa.

Liu Zheng hesitated for a moment and then followed him.

"sit."

The mini-man climbed onto his own sofa and pointed to another single sofa.

"Tindalos, serve tea to the guests."

The mini-man called out after he sat down.

"Ow!"

A howl came from the inner room.

Soon, Tindalos ran out with a cup of tea in his mouth.

"Ow!"

It put the teacup on the coffee table and then stared at Liu Zheng intently.

"Thank you."

He picked up the teacup without changing his expression and drank up the liquid in it, which was not sure whether it was saliva or tea.

Soon, a feeling of weakness came from the body.

Liu Zheng felt a little difficult to breathe and could not help coughing twice. As a result, he coughed up several pieces of old and decayed tissue fragments. He didn't know whether they were from the lungs or the stomach.

"Ow!"

Tindalos let out an excited cry of success.

"Tindalos, you can't treat your guests like this."

The mini-man said, frowning.

"woo"

The disciplined hound whimpered in frustration.

"Hurry up and apologize to the guests, or you won't be able to go out and play this week."

The mini-man said.

"woooooo"

The hound became even more frustrated.

Under pressure from its owner, it could only rub its head against Liu Zheng's trouser leg, and then lowered its head twice.

"It's okay, it's okay. Tindalos is just playing with me."

Liu Zheng said generously.

"Ow!"

The hound barked triumphantly. "Alright, alright, go back inside and play."

The mini-man said helplessly.

"Ow~"

The hound rubbed Liu Zheng's trouser leg again, then ran back to his room.

"Cough cough."

Liu Zheng was choked by the smoke and started coughing, then coughed up a bunch of meat.

"I'm sorry, Tindalos is just too playful. I will teach him a lesson later."

The mini-man apologized.

"It's okay, be lively, it's good."

He said reluctantly.

"Since you are so sensible, I won't hide it from you."

"The people from the city hall found me and said that it was too dangerous for you to throw away the teether sticks at will, but because you are a delivery man for the Bloody Restaurant, it is difficult to force you to take it back, so they asked me to talk to you and take back the teether sticks."

The mini-man said.

If language doesn't work, then use physics.

Anyway, he and Liu Zheng are the person who orders the food and the delivery man, so a heated conversation is within the rules.

Of course, the mini-people still hope for a peaceful resolution, so they have prepared a series of arguments and tactics.

But who knew that Liu Zheng handed it in right away, which made him feel surprised but also a little empty.

It's like preparing several top-level papers for promotion to full professor, but being notified of promotion before submitting them.

"I see. But I don't throw things around all the time, do I?"

Liu Zheng defended himself.

On average he only throws it once a day, that's not considered very frequent, right?

No, no?
"Well, maybe the City Hall has their own considerations."

Because he cooperated well, the mini-man did not expose him.

"Will the city hall confiscate the teething sticks?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"No, you didn't commit any crime with it, so they don't have the power to confiscate it."

The mini-man shook his head.

Of course, this is also because one of them is an employee of the Bloody Restaurant and the other is a scholar registered at the City Hall. If it were someone else, the Public Security Department would definitely have confiscated it directly.

But then again, it’s not just ordinary people who can own a teething stick.

"I'm not an unreasonable person. As compensation for taking back the teething stick, you can make a request to me."

The mini-man said.

As expected of a professor, his speech is very well-spoken.

"Then let me think about it."

Liu Zheng did not refuse.

"Okay, I'll read the newspaper for a while, and you can think about it slowly."

The mini-man tore a newspaper off the armrest of the sofa and began to read it while lying on it.

Liu Zhengze leaned back on the sofa and began to think.

Since the other party is a scholar, he will definitely give priority to knowledge or academic needs.

Forget about the knowledge. Firstly, he has no need for it for the time being. Secondly, knowing too much in a metropolitan city is not a good thing.

There are a lot of things to do with academics. Wang Manni's deputy director needs it, the woman from the Academy Home needs it, and my boss also needs it.

However, the woman’s wax figurine son was only in elementary school, and the cow and horse’s children had not yet been born, so their priority was not high.

As for the deputy director's son, Liu Zheng didn't know what grade he was in.

"Excuse me, I need to make a phone call."

He said.

"It's okay, go ahead and fight."

The mini-man waved his hand and went back to reading the newspaper.

Liu Zheng first called Nightingale, but the result was a series of short beeps, probably meaning that the signal was bad.

"Will the fisherman hide her at the bottom of the river?"

he complained.

Since he couldn’t get through to Nightingale on the phone, he called Wang Manni.

After several rings, the call was finally connected.

"Hello, is this Mr. Liu?"

Wang Manni's voice came from the other end of the phone, sounding a little hoarse.

"It's me. What's wrong with your throat? Do you have a cold?"

Liu Zheng asked casually with concern.

"No, it's okay. Maybe I didn't drink enough water."

Wang Manni said reluctantly.

"So you haven't had water for a year?"

He said with empty eyes.

Given the physical constitution of these extraordinary creatures, even if they drink a bottle of concentrated sulfuric acid, their throats may not become hoarse.

"No, that's it."

"Manny, who are you talking to on the phone?"

Wang Manni was about to speak when a male voice interrupted her.

"Ah, Manager Ma, why did you come out?"

Wang Manni asked in panic.

"Why am I still here when the heroine like you isn't here? Don't forget, this party is held specifically to celebrate your promotion."

Manager Ma said.

"Of course I didn't forget. So, I'll go in and accompany you after I finish the call."

"That won't do. Deputy Director Wang is waiting to drink with you. You can't let the leader wait for you with the wine glass in hand, right?"

"Besides, you are a leader now, so you should improve your social circle. Cut off your old friends who are not valuable enough, so as not to affect your reputation."

"This time, there are leaders from our company as well as executives from other companies. It's better for you to accompany them well. Don't you think so?"

Manager Ma's voice gradually became quieter.

"Manager Ma, don't be like this, there are so many people outside."

Wang Manni said uncomfortably.

"What are you afraid of? They've come here, and they've seen everything. Weren't you quite open-minded before? Why are you being coy now that you're a leader?"

Manager Ma said nonchalantly.

“I’m still on the phone.”

"What are you afraid of? Wouldn't it be more exciting for your friends to hear it?"

Manager Ma smiled.

"My friend doesn't like this."

Wang Manni shook her head.

"Then let him go, stop pretending to be noble. Come on, follow me. I tell you, if we have a good time this time, your position as manager will be secure. If you make everyone unhappy, even your deputy director can't protect you. Do you understand?"

Manager Ma raised his voice and said.

"I understand. Can you please let me finish this call? I will go back immediately after this call."

Wang Manni pleaded.

"Okay, okay, hit me quickly."

Manager Ma said impatiently.

"Phew~ Sorry, Mr. Liu, I kept you waiting for so long."

Wang Manni took a deep breath to adjust herself, then said to Liu Zheng.

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry."

Liu Zheng said.

"Thank you for your understanding. Is there something urgent that you are calling me so late?"

Wang Manni asked.

"Oh, that's right. I want to ask what grade your deputy director's son is in now?"
