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

Chapter 488 Could the Fool be Peacock’s agent?
After finishing his phone call with the tentacle monster, Liu Zheng started playing Sudoku to pass the time.

"Clang clang clang!"

Suddenly, there was a knocking sound in the locker.

"What's the noise?"

He looked up blankly.

"What's that noise? The sound of dinner starting. Did you ruin your brain by playing Sudoku?"

Niuma complained.

"Oh, there's nothing I can do. I haven't had a staff meal in a long time. I almost forgot about it."

Liu Zheng sighed.

"It's okay. I ate it all for you. Nothing was wasted."

Niuma comforted him.

"Thank you so much, sir."

He curled his lips and said.

"You're welcome. If you really want to thank me, just give me a few hundred thousand or so."

Niuma said seriously.

"Then I'll just pretend to thank you."

Liu Zheng consciously opened his cabinet and took out the employee meal.

After taking a look at the item description, he directly handed the employee meal to Niu Ma.

"Then please help me solve it this time, big brother."

"What? You're eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks outside, but you don't even care about the staff meals?"

Niuma said sarcastically.

"That's not the case. We're going to be a guest at someone's house later. It would be rude not to eat anything then."

Liu Zheng said.

"Your appetite is almost catching up with mine, are you afraid that you will be full after eating the staff meal?"

Niuma opened the lunch box as he spoke.

"Oh, so it's this thing, no wonder you don't dare to eat it."

After seeing what was on the plate, Niu Ma suddenly realized.

"Name: Super Compressed Biscuits (One-time)"

"Type: Props"

“Quality: Excellent”

"Effect 1: Restores a moderate amount of physical strength."

"Effect 2: The player's satiety is increased to the maximum and lasts for three hours."

"Note: Look at this cake, it's big and long. Just like the cake the boss drew for you, it's sweet and fragrant."

“Can I take out a copy: Yes”

"Take it for yourself. Even dogs won't eat it."

It was thrown directly back to Liu Zheng.

How can it drink wine or eat snacks after eating this thing?

"alright."

Liu Zheng shrugged and put the super compressed biscuits into the system space.

It's a prop after all. It won't go bad if it's kept in the system space. Just in case it comes in handy someday.

As if to go with the super compressed biscuits, today's drink was just a glass of boiled water, and it was even in a paper cup.

"Boss, what's the standard of this employee meal?"

He shook the paper cup in his hand and said.

"It's not bad. There have been worse times."

Niuma said indifferently.

"My goodness, what's worse than that, slop?"

Liu Zheng was shocked.

"Haha, you don't want to know. If that thing is really given out someday, I will definitely let you eat up all of mine."

The cattle and horses looked at him with pity.

".That's totally unnecessary."

After doing Sudoku for a while, the Fool finally called.

"Are you ready, Mr. Delivery Man?"

The Fool asked.

"no problem."

Liu Zheng replied.

"Okay, then I'll place the order."

The Fool hung up the phone.

After a few minutes, the ghost hand crawled in from outside.

It put down the takeaway order and patted Liu Zheng's feet.

Liu Zheng tactfully took out some dried fish and fed it to it.

"what?"

On a whim, he took out the super-compressed biscuits and tentatively handed them to Ghost Hand's mouth.

The ghost hand sniffed twice, then slapped the biscuit and the tentacle aside.

“Hahahaha! See, I told you that even dogs wouldn’t eat this stuff.”

The cows and horses laughed loudly.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

The next second, there were two slap marks on its face.

"Hahahaha!"

Now it was Liu Zheng's turn to laugh wildly.

Of course, he cleverly covered his face with his tentacles.

However, the ghost hand did not slap him. It just gave him the middle finger and then turned and left.

"You kid, you were laughing happily just now, right?"

Niu Ma walked over with gloomy faces.

"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."

Liu Zheng denied the three charges.

"hehe."

The ox-horse kicked out without warning, pinning him to the wall and slowly sliding down.

"Hey, it's just a joke, why did you step so hard, big man?"

He climbed up with difficulty and rubbed his chest while speaking.

"Humph, it's all because you deserve a beating. See if you dare to laugh at me again next time."

Niuma said proudly.

"嘁~"

Liu Zheng gave a middle finger in his mind and picked up the takeout order to look at it.

"Meal: One serving of fish-man stew"

“Address: No. 188 Dijing Villa”

"The person who ordered the meal: Fool"

"Time limit: one hour"

"Dijing Villa?"

Looking at the delivery address, his pupils shrank slightly.

"What? Did I kick you so hard that your soul was gone?"

Niuma noticed something was wrong with him and asked.

"Boss, look."

Liu Zheng shook his head and showed it the takeout order.

"grass!"

Seeing the address, Niu Ma also frowned.

The last time he delivered food to Peacock, his situation was one of the top three dangerous events in history. If it weren't for the fact that his trump card had a restraining effect on Peacock, he might have died there.

It's also because he has been a minister for so long that his mentality has become a little inflated. If it were to happen again, he would definitely let Liu Zheng go and deliver the goods himself.

"Isn't that friend of yours Peacock's shill?"

Niuma said with empty eyes.

"That shouldn't be the case, right?"

Liu Zheng said without much certainty.

The Writers Association and the Bloody Restaurant are of the same level, and the position of the Fool and the vice president is just a formality away. Even if his status is not as high as Peacock's, he will not be ordered around by the other side.

Of course, an equal exchange of interests is still possible.

"The City Hall promised that Peacock would not cause me any more trouble."

He said.

"Haha, kid, the reason I've been able to live this long is because I don't trust anyone's promises, not even my own."

Niuma sneered.

“But if no one trusts it, the cost of decision-making will be too high.”

Liu Zheng did not agree with what it said.

"You mean you're going to deliver it?"

The cows and horses glanced at him.

"Yes."

Liu Zheng nodded.

"Okay, then you leave all the money you have with you, and I will buy you a good cemetery. The rest of the money will be my hard work fee."

The cows and horses spoke loudly.

"Don't be so pessimistic. This is not No. 1 Dijing Villa."

He smiled and said.

The strong men in the metropolis have an average of earthbound spirits. Peacock is like a gravekeeper in the cemetery at No. 1 of Dijing Villa. There may be bonuses in other places in Dijing Villa, but it is definitely not as much as at No. 1.

"Haha, even if Peacock doesn't have any venue bonus, his strength is still a level stronger than mine. You don't think you can beat me, do you?"

Niuma asked in a bad tone.

If Liu Zheng dared to say yes, then he would be kicked in the face.

"Of course not. If you can't win, you can just run away. Besides, I really want to verify whether the guarantee of the city hall is reliable."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

"Psycho. Take it."

The cow and horse cursed, and opened their mouths to spit out a black shadow.

He took it with his tentacles and saw that it was indeed a commemorative medal for outstanding employees.

"Thank you, boss."

Liu Zheng said with a smile.

"Tsk, if my wife hadn't said something nice about you, I wouldn't bother with you."

Niuma rolled his eyes.

"You'd better trick that cat into delivering food with you."

It paused and then spoke again.

Of course the calico cat cannot defeat the peacock, but it should be able to attract some firepower.

"I will tell you, but I won't lie, just like I won't lie to you, big boss."

Liu Zheng looked into Niu Ma's eyes and said seriously.

"Humph, who knows if what you said is true? Everyone in Metropolis knows that you humans can lie."

Niuma tilted his head and said.

"It's a good thing I'm only half a man. Let's go, big man."

Liu Zheng smiled and led Yu Tong out of the lounge.

Niuma looked at the closed door and took out his cell phone.

After quickly pressing a string of numbers, it stared at the screen for a long time with an uncertain expression, but in the end it did not press the dial button.

"Huh? This lunch box is quite interesting."

After leaving the lounge, Liu Zheng looked at the dining car and said.

This time the lunch box is an oversized hexagonal lunch box with mother-of-pearl. The mother-of-pearl shines brightly under the dim light, complementing the gold embellishments, just like stars in the night sky.

Just by looking at this food box, you can tell that this takeaway is definitely worth a lot of money.

He opened the lid and saw that the inside was divided into grids, each containing a type of food.

There are steamed, braised, iron plate, grilled, fried, raw slices, and so on, a total of sixteen kinds.

"Name: Fishman hodgepodge (one-time)"

"Type: Props"

“Quality: Excellent”

"Effect 1: Restore a large amount of physical strength"

"Effect 2: The player gains the 'energetic' and 'inspired' states."

"Note: Boss, why is your fishman missing a testicle?"

"Energetic: Strength +2, Constitution +2, lasts for two hours."

"Inspiration: Perception +2, Spirit +2, lasts for two hours."

"All attributes +4, not bad."

Liu Zheng nodded.

It’s a pity that it doesn’t last for one copy, otherwise I would make a lot of money.

When I walked out of the takeaway aisle, the calico cat was already waiting outside.

Perhaps because it was going to visit someone, it even put on a set of small clothes.

A little green dinosaur pullover with a little tail on the back for the cat's tail.

"Liu Zheng, do my clothes look good?"

The calico cat came over and turned around to show itself.

Its movements were quite agile and were not affected by the clothes. It was not known whether it was because it was strong enough or because it had become accustomed to the clothes.

Judging from the condition and wear of the clothes, it should be the latter.

"It's so pretty, so cute."

Liu Zheng nodded frantically, his saliva almost dripping.

If the cuteness value of a calico cat is 10, then the cuteness value of the little dinosaur costume is 5. The cuteness value of a calico cat wearing a little dinosaur costume is the multiplication of the two values, 50 points!
"Really? Won't others dislike you?"

The calico cat asked not very confidently.

Its owner, the pond owner, was originally a otaku, and after coming to the bloody restaurant, he became even more isolated from the world. He really didn't know the current aesthetics and trends of the metropolis.

"No, if anyone dares to look down on you, I will dig out his eyes and play marbles with him."

Liu Zheng said fiercely.

"Liu Zheng is so nice~"

The calico cat rubbed his trouser leg happily.

"Hehehe~"

Liu Zheng smiled like an old father.

"What a perverted smile."

The pond owner said with contempt.

"This is called pampering."

He corrected the other person.

"It's not your pet. You don't need to pamper it."

The pond owner reasserted his sovereignty.

"Cats are everyone's treasures, and everyone can pamper them."

Liu Zhengyi said sternly.

"Then why don't you let someone else pet it?"

"No, they don't deserve it."

he said without hesitation.

"hehe."

The pond owner rolled his eyes.

As a heavy lover of calico cats, how could he not know what Liu Zheng was thinking.

"It's inconvenient for me to come out. Since you brought the salmon out, you must protect it. If it loses a hair, I will bite off one of your tentacles."

The pond owner warned.

"I'll try my best. But things may be a little different now."

Liu Zheng sighed and briefly explained the grudge between him and Peacock.

"Good boy, you actually want the salmon to die for you, I think you are tired of living!"

After hearing this, the pond owner immediately became furious and his hair stood on end.

"I wouldn't have told you if I thought so."

He shook his head and said.

"I don't care about that. Salmon, take the fish bucket and let's go back."

The pond owner ordered.

"Master, I want to go with Liu Zheng."

The salmon rarely made their own voices when the pond owner was speaking.

"Good boy Salmon, this human wants you to die with him. He is very evil. Don't fall for his trick."

The pond owner was stunned for a moment, then spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Liu Zheng won't do that. The boss said he's a stupid good guy."

The boss that Salmon is referring to is naturally Napoleon.

"You don't actually have to learn bad words."

Liu Zhengxu said with his eyes fixed.

"Even if he doesn't think so, the fact is this. He did help you a little, but you've already paid him back for what you did for him. You have no obligation and no reason to accompany him to do something so dangerous."

The pond owner continued to persuade.

"But I want meow~ I already have an owner, and I still want a friend, is that not possible meow?"

Salmon said pitifully, lowering his head.

Two strings of crystal tears dripped down its beard, wetting the ground.

"Sure, sure. Of course you can. We salmon can do anything. Be good and don't cry."

The pond owner couldn't hold it in any longer and spoke quickly.

"Stupid good man, why don't you hurry up and coax it?"

Seeing that Salmon showed no sign of stopping crying, he quickly shouted to Liu Zheng.

"You don't need to learn swear words since I already said them."

Liu Zheng picked up the salmon speechlessly, dragging its butt with one hand and scratching its chin with the other.

"Be good, Salmon. Your master has promised you to go with me. Don't cry. If your hair gets tangled up from crying, you won't be the cutest little kitty in the whole metropolis anymore."

he said softly.

"No meow! Then I won't cry meow."

Salmon stopped crying instantly.

"Master is the best meow~ I love you the most meow~"

It said in a delicate voice.

"Master also likes salmon the most, meow~"

The pond owner couldn't help but smile.

"But Salmon, you really don't have to go with me. You're my best friend, and I don't want to put you in danger."

After they finished showing their affection, Liu Zheng said seriously.

If we talk about the deepest relationship, it must be the ox and the horse and the plane tree, but after all, there is a relationship of superiors and subordinates and interests between the two.

The friendship between the calico cat and him is much purer.

"The boss told me that next time we go abroad, you and I will go together, meow."

The calico cat licked its paw and said.
