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

Chapter 468 Liu Zheng: Sister-in-law, are you mistaken? I am not my boss
"Come, have some tea."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Liu Zheng held the tea brought by Cow Horse and looked at the scene in the living room.

The layout and furnishings are similar to a real living room, but there are some differences in details about the various furniture.

For example, the handles of the cabinets are made very wide, probably to accommodate the body shape and limbs of cattle and horses.

"That box is the oil can pineapple, those boxes are the dream cucumbers, and the last boxes are the angel fruit."

He introduced the fruits brought to the cow and horse, and their effects.

"This is too expensive."

The cow-horse was startled.

The prices of Oil Tank Pineapple and Dream Cucumber are known. Although Liu Zheng did not mention the price of Angel Fruit, it is not difficult to infer the grade of this fruit from its effects.

"It's just a small thing. It can't express my feelings at all."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

"Mr. Liu."

The cow-horse spoke hesitantly.

"Sister-in-law, it's too polite to call me that. Just call me Xiao Liu."

he said quickly.

"Okay. Xiao Liu, I don't dare to take these fruits of yours."

Said the Cow Horse.

"What's the matter, sister-in-law?"

Liu Zheng was puzzled.

"You humans have a story that I don't know if you've heard of."

"Sister-in-law, please tell me."

He sat upright.

"Once upon a time, there was a general who led his soldiers out to fight. The battle was very difficult and many soldiers were injured."

"When the general went to inspect the camp, he found that a soldier's wound had festered, so he personally sucked out the pus from the soldier's wound, and the soldier's wound healed."

"When the news reached the soldier's hometown, the villagers were very moved, but his mother was so sad that she burst into tears."

"The villagers were very surprised and asked her why."

"My mother said, 'What you saw was the general treating my son's wounds, but what I saw was that my son was going to die on the battlefield.'"

The cow-horse said with a heavy face.

"Sister-in-law, did you misunderstand? This story is true, but Niuma is the general and I am the soldier."

Liu Zheng scratched his head and said.

"No, I know the cow-horse guy. He can be a manager, but he can't be a leader. He doesn't have the brains or the mind to do that."

"I saw it as soon as you came in. Even though it's your boss now, it will have to follow you sooner or later."

"I can't tell what kind of person you are for the time being, but you must be a person who gets things done, a person who gets things done big."

"It told me everything you did for it, and now that you've been so good to me, it's remembering it even more."

"It has endured it once for me, and it will definitely not endure it again."

The cow-horse said slowly.

"Are you talking about Brother Black Claw and Brother Yellow Monkey?"

he asked.

"That's right. I'm glad that Niuma has a brother like you. But you're too worried, and I'm afraid."

The Cow Horse said honestly.

"May I ask what your job is, sister-in-law?"

Liu Zheng stood in awe.

"I'm currently working at a training class nearby, teaching Chinese, writing, history and so on."

Said the Cow Horse.

"No wonder Boss Niu Ma is sometimes quite cultured. It turns out that you, sister-in-law, taught him well."

He suddenly said.

"That's not the case. It's quite smart, but it just doesn't like to study."

The cow horse still saved her husband's face.

"But I have to say, sister-in-law, you worry too much."

Liu Zheng said.

"You mean, you won't do anything dangerous?"

"No, what I mean is that even if you don't take these fruits, Boss Niu Ma will not back down when it comes to fighting to the death."

He shook his head.

"Um"

The cow and horse were speechless for a moment.

"From the way you talk, you don't seem like someone who would go along with the Metropolitan City. I think you definitely hope that your husband is a hero, right?"

Liu Zheng said.

"Hero, in this world, even bad guys have a hard time living, let alone heroes."

The cow horse sneered slightly.

"Since it's not easy to be a villain, why not be a hero? We'll talk about the future later. It's just a matter of death. The most important thing now is to eat and drink well. Besides, sister-in-law, if not for yourself, you have to do it for the children, right?"

"The cattle and horses work hard to make money just to save up the household tax. Let me put it bluntly, if the child is born with an 'abnormal' newborn, it will be worse than death."

He advised earnestly.

"The cows and horses always say that you are very charming, and any female can't walk when they see you. Why do I feel that you are not the case?"

The cow horse said with empty eyes.

If it hadn't seen that he was a good brother of her husband, she would have kicked him.

"Haha, it's not so important to talk to your family members."

Liu Zheng laughed.

Besides, even if he wanted to be a succubus, cows and horses would not be happy.

"But my words are true. I will accept the things. Well, I hope you are all safe and sound."

The cow-horse sighed again.

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

"You're still going to deliver takeout, right? Then I won't keep you for dinner. When your eldest brother comes home one day, I'll make it and have him bring it to you."

Said the Cow Horse.

"Okay. Has sister-in-law encountered any troubles recently?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Life is full of troubles. It's okay, I can handle it myself, you just take care of yourselves."

The cow-horse shook her head.

"It's okay. I came here just to solve your problem. Just tell me. I may not be good at other things, but I do have some experience in killing people."

He didn't give up.

"It's just a work issue. Not everything in the metropolis can be solved by fighting and killing. I told you to stop caring about it, so you just stop caring about it. Why, your sister-in-law's words don't work anymore, right?"

The cow-horse stared.

"Of course not. A sister-in-law is like a mother. How can your words not be effective? Then I'm leaving, sister-in-law."

After all, there is a gap between him and the other party, so Liu Zheng can't push too hard.

"Go ahead. Oh, and take this with you."

Cow Horse took out a paper bag from the coffee table and handed it to him.

"This is a plaster given to me by a student's parent. It was originally meant for your eldest brother, but it was nowhere to be found. So I don't want to give it to you. You can use it."

it said.

"Then I won't be polite."

Liu Zheng took it directly, and the item introduction popped up immediately.

"Name: Dog Shit Plaster (One-time)"

"Type: Props"

“Quality: Excellent”

"Effect: Absorbs a portion of the damage received and releases it in the form of a fart, causing poisonous area damage."

"Note: You said I was talking like bullshit, and when I really did you complained that I was talking too hard."

“Can I take out a copy: Yes”

"Um"

He looked at the notes and was speechless.

Why are the items in the Metropolitan Museum always more abstract than the others? Can't they learn from Art's items and make them more serious?

However, items that cause area damage are still relatively rare, and judging by the effect description, they should be able to achieve synergistic effects with other items.

For example, items that can enhance poison damage, or items that can detonate gas.

"Then I'll be leaving first, sister-in-law. Please remember my phone number and come to me if you have any trouble."

"Oh, by the way, this is a membership card for 'Busy Hours'. Only three people can use it at the same time, otherwise it will be cancelled. You have to pay attention."

"Okay, thank you, Xiao Liu."

Liu Zheng gave out his phone number and was about to get up when he suddenly thought of something.

"By the way, sister-in-law, can you give me one of those fruits?"

he asked.

"Of course, you brought it in the first place. You can take whatever you want."

Said the Cow Horse.

"Oh, I don't like eating fruit, but it might come in handy when I deliver the takeaway later."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

He had already tested it and found that these fruits would not pop up item introductions and had no obvious effects on him, so there was no value in keeping them.

However, the residents of the metropolis should all be able to use it, so it might be useful if you take it. "Then take more."

"No, it won't fit in the takeout box, and it's cumbersome to carry."

He declined.

"Okay then. Take your time."

Liu Zheng left the 8th floor and went straight to Building 6.

There is still half an hour left for delivery, which is more than enough under normal circumstances.

Although he often encounters abnormal situations, he is accustomed to things like stuck delivery points.

Of course, if it is too late, his three-time outstanding employee commemorative medal has not yet been returned.

"hey-hey."

A sinister smile appeared on Liu Zheng's face.

Arriving on the 6th floor, he took the elevator to the door of Room 202.

"Hello, your takeaway has arrived."

He rapped on the door and shouted.

"Whose takeout?"

A rough voice soon came from inside.

"I don't know. I didn't write a name, just an address."

Liu Zheng replied.

"Who of you ordered takeout?"

The gruff voice asked.

After a while, a sound was heard from inside again.

"No one orders takeout here. Go ask somewhere else."

"It does say Building 6, Room 202 on the takeout order. Why don't you open it and take a look? Maybe someone else ordered it for you."

He thought for a moment and said.

If a problem can be solved by deception, don't use force. Fighting and killing is very tiring.

"Impossible. Liar, stay away from my door or I'll blow your head off with a baseball bat."

A rough voice said loudly.

"Okay, that might be my mistake. Sorry."

Liu Zheng walked back into the elevator and cleared his throat.

"Cough cough."

"Hello! Hello? Hello. Hello~"

"Hello, hello, mud howl."

"nailed it."

When he spoke again, his voice became a shrill one.

He learned this from a friend who was a virtual anchor. He didn't learn it very well, but it was enough to fool ordinary people.

Liu Zheng walked to the door of 202 again, and this time he adjusted his pace deliberately.

"Hello, I'm a promoter for the 'Busy Hours' fruit shop. We offer free tastings. Does your family need any?"

he said softly.

“Is it really free?”

A soft voice came from inside.

"Of course. However, no matter whether it tastes good or bad, you must give us a careful and detailed feedback after eating, otherwise we will charge you."

Liu Zheng said.

“What kind of feedback is detailed?”

The person inside asked.

"The feedback for each fruit should be at least thirty words without punctuation."

he replied.

"Is it necessary to write so many words to respond to eating fruit?"

The gruff voice interrupted, sounding somewhat dissatisfied.

"There's nothing we can do about it. That's the rule."

How can his temporary provisions not be rules?

"What's the rule?"

The person inside opened the door with a grumble.

A short "person" wearing a blue-gray work suit and a worn red weft hat appeared in front of Liu Zheng.

It was covered with black hair, its face looked half human, half monkey, and it had a tuft of chest hair under its neck.

But what is even more eye-catching is its single foot with the heel facing forward and toes pointing backward.

Liu Zheng recognized it at a glance because of its unique shape. It was the legendary "mandrill", a creature between a monster and a mountain god.

As soon as the mandrill saw the uniform on him, his face changed drastically. He grabbed the door handle with his skinny but muscular arms and was about to close the door.

"Wait a moment!"

Liu Zheng shouted loudly and blocked the door with his hoof.

"I'll wait for you!"

The mandrill said without hesitation, then scratched over with a claw.

Before he could catch it, the sharp wind from the claws had already left bloody marks on his face.

"Do you still want free fruit?"

Liu Zheng covered his face with his tentacles and continued to shout.

"You're a shitty promoter. You're obviously a delivery man for the Bloody Restaurant."

shouted the mandrill angrily.

"I didn't say I wasn't, and the two don't conflict. Look!"

He took out the prepared fruits from behind, with three tentacles holding three kinds of fruits respectively.

The fresh fragrance of the fruit wafted into the mandrill's nose, causing it to swallow subconsciously.

"Oil-can pineapple, sweet dream cucumber, and what's the other one?"

It asked, looking at the Angel Fruit.

"Angel Fruit, a new product that has just been released. It tastes good and the effects are pretty awesome."

Liu Zheng told it the effects of the Angel Fruit.

"Isn't this cheap?"

asked the mandrill.

"Five hundred dollars each."

"Oh my god, this is so expensive. It's enough for me to buy fruits for half a month."

exclaimed the mandrill.

"To me, it's just a drop in the bucket. I bought a hundred at once, without even a discount."

Liu Zheng said proudly.

"Are you sure you're going to give such expensive fruit for free?"

Said the mandrill.

"Of course, I keep my word."

"You won't have to sign for the takeaway after you finish eating, right?"

The mandrill asked warily.

"No, this is delivered. However, I hope you can calm down and discuss how to sign for the takeaway peacefully."

He shook his head.

The mandrill looked at his uniform, then at the fruits in his tentacles, especially the angel fruit, and his expression kept changing.

"Husband, what happened?"

The soft female voice came out again.

"Who told you to come out? Go back to your room or I'll beat you up."

shouted the mandrill irritably.

"Oh"

The female voice retreated again.

"Give me the fruit first."

The mandrill said to Liu Zheng.

"it is good."

He handed over the fruit without hesitation.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll close the shop after you take the fruit?"

The mandrill was a little surprised.

Didn't it meet a fool?

“I saw your ID card.”

Liu Zheng pointed at the work badge on his work uniform and said.

"Humph, don't think I don't know that you can't threaten the family of the person who ordered the meal afterwards."

The mandrill said disdainfully.

"Who threatened your family?"

he asked strangely.

"Then what do you mean?"

"What I mean is, if you dare to collect the fruit and run away, I will blow up your factory."

Liu Zheng said with a smile.
