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

Chapter 487 If the Fool is willing, I can be below

"Cemetery? Yeah, that makes sense."

Liu Zheng nodded.

Apart from the cemetery, it is difficult to find a coffin that a big shot like the Fool would be interested in anywhere else.

Except for the plane trees.

"Mr. Delivery Man, do you agree?"

The Fool asked.

"accepted."

He was going to rob a tomb anyway, so he could just ask the gravekeeper to change the tomb to the one designated by the Fool. Wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?
"Okay, I'll go and let them out now."

The Fool nodded.

"Master Fool trusts me so much?"

Liu Zheng was surprised.

“Words and dance moves never lie.”

The Fool said in an unfathomable way.

"Of course, if Mr. Deliveryman really cheated me, it wouldn't be difficult for me to order a takeaway and have a face-to-face meeting with you."

It paused and said.

"That's true."

Liu Zheng nodded.

For the powerhouses of the metropolis, the cost of ordering takeout is not unbearable.

"So what's the second thing?"

The Fool asked.

"The second thing is that I met an author who wants to become your apprentice."

He told me about the tentacle monster.

"Forget about becoming my disciple. I am still in the stage of exploring myself."

The Fool predictably refuses.

"But I can have afternoon tea with it and exchange experiences."

It immediately said again.

"That's great, thank you for your support, Mr. Fool."

Liu Zheng said sincerely.

"It's just a small matter. I believe the delivery man will not waste my kindness."

The Fool's tone remained gentle, but Liu Zheng seemed to feel that endless gray fog was spreading towards him.

"Of course, I never waste any kindness, nor do I condone any malice. In our words, this is called repaying kindness with kindness and repaying evil with justice."

He said.

"Repay kindness with kindness, and repay evil with justice. What a great sentence. Can I use it?"

The Fool asked in surprise.

"Of course, this is what our ancestors said, I am just repeating it."

Liu Zheng said generously.

"Thank you. And what's the third thing?"

The Fool asked again.

"As for the third thing, we were in a hurry last time and I didn't have anything to show you. This time I have prepared a nice gift and want to give it to you as a token of our friendship."

He said this confidently.

The calico cat and the sphinx were completely unable to resist the magic of the ball of yarn, and he believed that the Fool would be no exception.

"Oh? Then I am indeed looking forward to it. How about this, I will order some takeout later, and then call that tentacle monster over, and we can have afternoon tea together?"

The Fool thought for a moment and said.

"Okay, then I'll obey your command."

Liu Zheng naturally would not refuse.

"Okay, then I'll be waiting for you at Yuanbao."

The Fool hung up the phone.

"grass!"

He was about to put the phone away when he was startled by the sound of cows and horses.

"What's wrong, boss?"

He looked over.

"What kind of walnut is so hard? It broke my corner."

The cow and horse touched their horns and said with heartache.

"Let me see."

Liu Zheng walked closer and took a look, and saw a small crack on the right horn of the ox or horse.

"It's really hard enough."

He expressed his approval of the walnut's fighting power.

At least half of the fighting power of cattle and horses lies in this pair of horns. When they delivered a takeaway to the peacock, there was not a single piece of good skin on their bodies, but their horns were not completely broken.

Now it has been cracked by a walnut. You can imagine how hard this walnut is.

"I'm not saying anything bad about you, but why do you have to compete with it?"

Liu Zheng was speechless.

"Who am I? I'm the head of the takeaway department and a three-time outstanding employee of the Bloody Restaurant. I don't believe there is anything I can't open!"

The cow and horse looked stubborn.

"Okay, okay, you can try again after I take out the beer bottle, right?"

he said helplessly.

If they continue to compete like this, it's hard to say which one will crack first, the ox or the walnut, but in any case, the lounge will probably have to be renovated.

"Hmph, I'll let it go for now. You just wait for me!"

The ox and horse looked at the walnut and became angrier, so they kicked it.

The walnut turned into a black shadow and hit the wall, then bounced back.

Liu Zheng subconsciously shrank his head and just avoided the walnut that was bouncing towards him.

"boom!"

The walnuts hit the cabinet with a deafening sound.

He looked closely and saw that the walnut was embedded directly into the iron sheet.

He walked over and pried the walnut out with a boning knife, which remained intact.

"What the hell is this walnut?"

Liu Zheng couldn't help but ask the same question as Niu Ma.

"If you ask me, who should I ask?"

The cow and horse rolled their eyes.

"Where did you get it, then?"

"From my dad's belly."

Niuma replied.

"Huh? So the champion bull and horse didn't die in a gladiatorial fight, but was choked to death by a walnut?"

His eyes widened.

"How is that possible? My dad is so awesome, how could he die from a walnut?"

Niuma retorted subconsciously, then glanced at the walnut embedded in the cabinet door.

"Well, should, probably, maybe not?"

Its tone gradually became weaker.

"Boss, can you lend me this walnut?"

Liu Zheng rolled his eyes and said.

"No. This thing is the only relic my father left me. How can I give it to you for auction?"

Niuma decisively refused.

"I ate your father's remains, let alone a relic."

He complained in his mind.

Of course, he didn't dare say it out loud, otherwise the cows and horses would definitely trample him into tentacle sauce.

"Don't you want to know what's inside the walnut? What if it's a last message from your father?"

Liu Zheng had a guess.

"Huh? Don't say that. Really don't say that."

For the first time, Niu Ma felt that what he said made so much sense.

"Throw the walnuts on the ground and hide in the corner. I'm going big!"

It opened its mouth and the bronze bull head slowly emerged.

The originally warm and peaceful lounge was instantly filled with the murderous aura of war and iron cavalry.

"Stop, stop, stop."

Liu Zheng quickly called a halt.

"If you force it like this, the walnut will open, but the things inside will probably be ruined."

"Then what do you think we should do?"

The ox-horse swallowed back the bronze ox head and said unhappily.

"Give it to me, and I'll think of a way."

He said.

"I can't do it, but you can?"

Niuma said somewhat unhappily.

"I can't do it either, but I know so many people, there must be someone who can do it, right?"

Liu Zheng shrugged.

"Yeah, okay."

Niuma thought for a moment and said reluctantly.

"If you can't open it, return it to me intact, or I'll make sure you can't leave the lounge for the rest of your life."

It threatened, its tone unusually serious.

"I know, I know. Can I still ask for a walnut from you?"

He waved his tentacles.

"When have you not been eating and taking things at the same time?"

The cow and horse complained, then returned to the haystack and lay down.

Liu Zheng ignored it and picked up the walnut to look at it.

Apart from the fact that the disk is really smooth, I don't see anything special about it, and the item introduction doesn't pop up. But this is normal.

Even if this is really an item, cattle and horses would not give it to him unless the situation is extremely urgent.

"Boss Napoleon, here are the fish you requested."

Liu Zheng called Baiyu Chicken.

"Is it all ready?"

The white-feathered chicken asked.

"The numbers are the same, but some species are missing, so the fishermen have used similar species to make up for it."

he replied.

"A similar species?"

"There's nothing we can do about it. Last time, the sewer underwent an operation and more than half of the fish died. New fish fry are still growing."

Liu Zheng explained.

"What surgery?"

The white-feathered chicken asked.

“Hemorrhoid surgery.”

".Okay, I'll have Salmon come over to collect the goods."

"Can you put Salmon on the line?"

He said before the other party hung up the phone.

"Hurry up."

"Liu Zheng, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Soon, the salmon's voice rang out.

"I'm going to a black cat's house for afternoon tea. Besides dried fish, do you have anything else that cats like to eat?"

Liu Zheng asked.

Although he already had the dream combination of dried fish and a ball of yarn, he still wanted to add some more chips and max out his favorability all at once.

"Wow, can you take me there?"

The calico cat asked enviously.

"Of course, as long as you can go out."

Liu Zheng said.

Calico cats are cute, well-behaved and good at fighting. Who doesn’t like to take such a cat out to play?
"Boss, can I go out?"

The calico cat asked the white chicken.

"Why are you going out? Didn't you have enough fun with those two cats last time?"

"They are stupid and green, not fun to play with meow. Boss, I want to go out and play, please meow~"

The calico cat changed its tone to a coquettish one.

"Alright, alright, stop meowing."

The white-feathered chicken's tone was somewhat helpless.

"You can go out and play, but you have to use up the reward you got from your last trip abroad."

"Okay meow~"

The calico cat agreed immediately.

It has no intention of leaving the restaurant, and has no interest in promotion or salary increase, so the overseas reward means little to it.

"Please bring some food and drinks when you come back. There will be one for each person in the kitchen."

After a pause, the white-feathered chicken continued.

"I don't have any money, can you buy it for me, Liu Zheng?"

the calico cat asked loudly.

"Ok, Ok."

Liu Zheng nodded repeatedly.

"Then you guys go outside to hand over. It will take an hour at most."

The white-feathered chicken said.

Even delivery men cannot go out casually, let alone kitchen staff, who must have a legitimate reason to go out.

Going to the sewer to buy fish is a common and useful reason.

Of course, this benefit no longer exists since the relationship with the fisherman deteriorated.

"Okay. I'll contact you when I have an order."

Liu Zheng hung up the phone.

Going to the sewer to get fish is a benefit for the kitchen, not the takeaway department.

"Salmon."

He didn't know when the cows and horses came behind him again.

"Boss, if you insist on being so elusive, can you come in front of me next time? I feel very insecure this way."

Liu Zhengxu said with his eyes fixed.

"You wish. I'll feel even less safe with you behind me."

The cattle and horses rolled their eyes at him.

"You said is it possible, I mean is it possible, you kidnapped the cat to our takeaway department?"

It looked at Liu Zheng expectantly and asked.

"Then you have to answer me a question first."

"what is the problem?"

"Can you beat Napoleon?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Well, I'm not bragging. As long as I risk my life, that chicken may not be able to beat me."

Niuma raised his head and said.

"You are willing to risk your life to find a new employee. You are really dedicated to the public. But the problem is, aren't you going to run away soon?"

He pointed out the problem.

"Do you think I recruited it for myself?"

The cows and horses looked at him as if he were an idiot.

"Based on your performance and my recommendation, it's a foregone conclusion that you'll become the acting minister after I leave."

"The restaurant will definitely need to recruit one or two more people by then. If you want to overpower the newcomers, you'll have to rely on your own strength."

"But if the cat comes, given your relationship, it will be part of your strength. Then one of you will be responsible for the outside and the other for the inside. No matter who comes, they won't be able to stop you."

"Do you understand?"

Niu Ma told his thoughts.

"Great, great! I didn't expect you to have such a plan, Boss."

Liu Zheng said admiringly.

"Hehe, don't think you're great just because you're a succubus. Even if you can get along with everyone, you've never been a leader. You still have a lot to learn about these things."

Niuma said proudly.

"Yes, yes, sir, your strategy is far-reaching and your plan is profound. I, your humble brother, look up to you and marvel at your wisdom."

"But Boss Napoleon has a good relationship with us. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to poach his employees? Besides, Salmon himself may not be willing to come to the takeaway department. I think we should think about this matter carefully."

After offering a string of flattery, Liu Zheng said tactfully.

Niu Ma's strategy is correct, but the key is where his far-reaching ideas come from.

By that time, the cattle and horses will have left, and he will have run away too, so the calico cat will be in trouble.

Not to mention whether it has the ability to hold power alone, it doesn't have the intention to do so.

It's okay to cheat other people, but if you cheat cats, you will be struck by lightning. No, no.

"Yeah, that's true. Anyway, this is your own business, you can do whatever you want."

Niuma nodded.

"okay."

Liu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief after his boss's idea was dispelled.

Due to information asymmetry, both parties often fail to understand each other's behavior.

If done well, it means profiting from information asymmetry; if done badly, it means good intentions lead to bad results.

"Oh, I forgot to notify the tentacle monster."

Liu Zheng called the tentacle monster.

"Have you contacted the Fool?"

The tentacle monster asked impatiently.

"I've made contact with it. It hasn't agreed to take you in as its apprentice, but it's willing to exchange writing experiences with you."

He said.

"Ah? Okay, that's fine too."

The tentacle monster was a little disappointed, but still accepted the reality.

"Also, it invited me to its house for afternoon tea and asked me to bring you along."

Liu Zheng said.

"Oh. Oh? Oh my god!"

The tentacle monster let out a scream after it reacted.

"When are you going?"

It asked after finally calming down.

"In a little while."

He said, checking the time.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!!!"

The tentacle monster let out a sharp explosion when he heard this.

"Why so fast? What should I do? What should I do?"

"Would you like to calm down first?"

Liu Zheng said tentatively.

"Calm down? How can you expect me to calm down?! Can you calm down if your goddess asks you to go to her house for tea?"

The tentacle monster asked back.

"Uh, aren't you a male?"

"What does it matter? Meeting an idol is much more exciting than meeting a goddess. If Boss Fool is willing, I don't mind being down there."

The tentacle monster said without hesitation.

"Yeah, okay."

Liu Zheng once again confirmed that there was an unbridgeable gap between his worldview and the views of these metropolitan residents.
