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

Chapter 499: Buy a one-stop service, not a one-stop service
"When will it be fully repaired?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"It depends on your needs. The materials you provide will be different, and the final repair results will be different. I can use materials from aquatic organisms. If you want something else, you'll have to find someone else."

The fisherman replied.

"Father-in-law~"

He rolled his eyes and called out sweetly.

"Don't call me father-in-law. When did I ever agree to marry the Ama to you?"

The fisherman's face suddenly changed as if his reverse scale was touched.

"It's just a name, it's not important, it's not important. You have dominated the sewers for so many years, you must have accumulated a lot of materials of aquatic creatures, right?"

He said, ignoring the fisherman's resistance.

"What do you mean by tyrant sewers? I'm just a worker."

Having said that, the fisherman's expression relaxed a little.

"I told you last time that everything here is part of the sewer. I gave you so many things for free before, and seeing our previous work performance, the sewer can turn a blind eye."

"But if you want to get this level of material again, you either have to do a better job or exchange it for something else."

"I can not charge for labor, but at least the value has to be equal."

He explained.

"That's it"

Liu Zheng fell into deep thought.

If the work performance is more outstanding, it naturally means helping the sewer regain the will to escape.

But that obviously can't be done overnight, so it's more reliable to replace it with something else.

As for finding someone else to fix it, he gave up after a quick thought.

First of all, others may not be able to repair it.

Secondly, it is obviously the most appropriate professional to ask a fisherman to repair something like a fishing rod.

It is not impossible to ask the pond owner to repair it, but Liu Zheng suspected that he usually directly used the water pump or the electric fish machine.

Besides, it would be difficult for him to chat in his current state, let alone help him with his work.

“Do you have any requirements for things?”

Liu Zheng asked.

"It's best to have living creatures, preferably species that don't live in sewers. The more complete the body, the better. The more the better. It's best if they're alive."

“For example, you have provided materials of excellent quality, but if it meets the requirements, I can help you repair it with materials of perfect quality.”

The fisherman replied.

"What if it's of perfect quality?"

"Then I can help you repair it using materials of legendary quality."

"What if it's of legendary quality?"

he asked greedily.

"Then I'll move it somewhere else, and you'll be the manhole man."

The fisherman said expressionlessly.

"Hahaha. Just kidding, just kidding. Do you know where I can get the best materials that meet the requirements?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"I don't know. When I needed materials, I always went to the sewer or went to the sea to get them myself. I never had to buy them."

The fisherman said proudly.

"Isn't this how you were targeted by the sewer?"

"roll!"

The fisherman's arm turned into a net bag, which threw him into the well.

"Tsk, you've been fooled and you won't let anyone tell you. With such a bad temper, it's no wonder you can't have a good parent-child relationship."

Liu Zheng complained in his heart as he crawled back to the ground.

Back in the car, the driver stepped on the accelerator and rushed to the next destination.

"Sadouyou" trading company.

Looking at the sign in front of him, he seemed to be thinking about something.

This accent sounds similar to the "Gaga Shuang" bathhouse.

Yuan Baoer also said that the businesses of the five families outside the Great Wall are all in the city. Could it be that they were opened by acquaintances?
Thinking of this, Liu Zheng simply made a phone call.

"Boss Liu, what can I do for you?"

After answering the phone, Yuan Baoer went straight to the point.

"I came to the 'Sadoudu' business to buy some things. Is this owned by one of the five families outside the pass?"

He didn't hesitate and asked directly.

"Yes, it was opened by someone from the Gray family, but it's unclear who is running it right now. Are you there now?"

Yuan Baoer asked.

"Yes, I'm already at the door."

"Okay, I'll contact you."

Yuan Baoer hung up the phone decisively.

Soon, a short, rat-looking middle-aged man walked out of the store.

"You are Mr. Liu, right?"

He looked at Liu Zheng's uniform, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes, then he stretched out his hand and asked enthusiastically.

"Yes, what's your name?"

Liu Zheng held his hand and asked.

"I'm the shopkeeper here, Hui San'er. You can just call me Xiao San'er."

The middle-aged man said with a smile.

"Isn't this not good?"

Liu Zhengxu said with his eyes fixed.

He came here to buy things, not to catch someone cheating.

"If you find it offensive, you can call me your grandson."

The middle-aged man said considerately.

"I'd better call you Shopkeeper Gray. Are you and Mr. Yuan?"

"My grandmother is her cousin, but according to the seniority system of our Hui family, I am her uncle. So she and I are equals. I call her Bao Wumei and she calls me Hui Sange."

Said the Gray Shopkeeper.

"Okay. As expected of a big family, the relationship between relatives is quite complicated."

Liu Zheng said sympathetically.

"We think so too. So recently, five young people who are good at programming have developed a software that can display the blood relationship and the correct name by simply entering the names of both parties."

"It's a pity that their technology is not good enough and they haven't even produced a test version."

The gray shopkeeper complained.

“It’s better to outsource it.”

He said subconsciously.

"Well, I'm afraid that's not very convenient."

The gray shopkeeper smiled slightly.

"Hmm? Ah, I don't understand. Sorry."

Liu Zheng quickly realized that he had said something stupid.

To realize this function, the personnel information of the five companies must be recorded.

If we outsource it, we will be handing over this confidential information.

"It's okay. Ignorance is not a crime. How about we go inside and talk?"

The Gray Shopkeeper suggested.

"Then excuse me."

Liu Zheng nodded.

Arriving at the reception room, the gray shopkeeper asked someone to serve tea and nodded, and the two sides sat opposite each other.

"I'm short on time so I won't beat around the bush. If I've said anything inconsiderate, I'll come and apologize when I have time."

Liu Zheng said bluntly.

"The five families outside the Great Wall are of the same blood. Mr. Liu saved Bao Wumei's life, which means he saved my life. Mr. Liu saved the face of the Yuan family, which means he saved the face of our five families outside the Great Wall."

"Of course, that's what I mean. If your request is too high, I can only find an excuse to send you away."

The gray shopkeeper said with a smile.

"Hahaha, Shopkeeper Gray is quite quick-witted."

He was stunned for a moment and then laughed out loud.

"You should speak smartly to smart people. I can tell at a glance that Mr. Liu is a smart man, and an extremely smart one."

The gray shopkeeper complimented.

"It's just a clever trick. Even though I don't have much hair, I still have some."

Liu Zheng scratched his seaweed hair and said.

"Hahaha. It's okay. Baldness is a symbol of strength. Only successful men are bald."

Shopkeeper Gray comforted him.

"It's hard to be convincing when you say this." He said, looking at the other person's beautiful black hair.

"Implanted. If Mr. Liu is interested, I can tell you the address of the clinic. If an acquaintance introduces me, I can give you a 20% discount."

Said the Gray Shopkeeper.

"Forget it. I'm in danger every day. I'll die from unknown AOE sooner or later. Let's get down to business."

After the greetings, Liu Zheng got down to business.

"I want to buy a dragon."

"What dragon?"

The gray shopkeeper asked back.

"A true dragon, not a dragonborn or a subdragon."

He said.

"No. If our company could get a real dragon, then the Gray Family would have been the only one left among the Five Families Outside the Pass."

The Gray Shopkeeper shook his head.

"Then a dragon egg or a baby dragon will do."

Liu Zheng settled for the next best option.

First make an outrageous request, and then make the real request after the other party refuses. This is a common technique in negotiation.

"There is no baby dragon either. There is a dragon egg, but the dragon fetus inside is dead."

Said the Gray Shopkeeper.

"Does dying mean that it can't hatch?"

"That's the case under normal circumstances, but if a large amount of high-quality death power is infused into it, it might hatch an undead dragon."

The gray shopkeeper replied.

"A large amount of high-quality death power"

The first thing he thought of was the resentful fish that the pond owner mentioned.

But there is a problem with the resentful fish. If the user is not strong enough, it will be assimilated. If an undead fish is hatched, it is hard to say whether it can still be used.

However, there should be no shortage of the power of death in the cemetery. I will ask the gravekeeper when I get there. The most urgent task now is to get the dragon egg.

"I wonder if Shopkeeper Gray can part with it and sell that dragon egg to me?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"If someone else wants to buy it, I will definitely say it's not for sale. But if Liu Zheng wants to buy it, the price is one million."

Said the Gray Shopkeeper.

"Mind if I make a phone call?"

"Of course I don't mind."

"Excuse me."

He called Dr. Nile.

"Doctor, is one million a reasonable price for a stillborn dragon egg?"

Liu Zheng asked directly.

"It's quite cheap. If I were to buy it myself, I would be fine with around 1.5 million."

Doctor Nile replied.

"Okay. Sorry to make you laugh."

He hung up the phone and said to the gray shopkeeper.

"It's okay. I just admire your frank style, Mr. Liu."

The gray shopkeeper shook his head.

"In that case, I will be more forthright. Does your company accept payment in installments or barter? If that doesn't work, sexual compensation is also fine."

Liu Zheng said shamelessly.

"What does Mr. Liu mean by sexual compensation?"

The gray shopkeeper became interested.

"If your company has any problems that need to be solved urgently, I can help. I have some connections in various circles in the metropolis, and I am good at group annihilation and blasting."

he said with a smile.

"Oh, I thought you were willing to sell your body parts."

The gray shopkeeper said with some disappointment.

"Is your company interested?"

"Of course, the black goat kid has always been a high-end ingredient popular among major restaurants."

"But can't black goats reproduce? If we just keep one in captivity, there will be an endless supply."

Liu Zheng asked in confusion.

"It's not that easy to raise them. The gods behind them won't allow this to happen. No matter what means are used, all the black goats raised in captivity will not live more than a month at most."

The gray shopkeeper shook his head.

"Ok."

Come to think of it, that god could even descend into the sanctuary, so his status must be much higher than that of Dayi Niangui.

"Then it's not impossible to sell you."

He thought for a moment and said.

Although selling one's own flesh and blood to others is risky, Liu Zheng has done this more than once, so he is not worried when he has too much debt.

Moreover, with all the messy marks on his body, if someone cursed him, used black magic, voodoo or the like, it would be hard to say who would be in trouble.

"That's great. Most of these rare ingredients have gone to your Bloody Restaurant, so they have always been in short supply. If Mr. Liu is willing to sell them, I will definitely not let you suffer a loss in terms of price."

Shopkeeper Gray said in surprise.

"Literally cutting the flesh, right?"

Liu Zheng twitched his lips.

"Then come on, cut faster, I'm afraid of the pain."

He closed his eyes.

"Okay. Someone, come and close the door and let the knifeman go."

The gray shopkeeper shouted.

Ten minutes later, Liu Zheng, who had turned into a blood gourd, was lying on the coffee table with empty eyes.

All parts of his body were sold except for one tentacle.

Even including there and there.

Although there is pain relief, such pain is still not something a normal person can endure.

So he could only numb himself and mentally regard himself as a walking corpse.

"Mr. Liu, bear with it. I'll apply the medicine to you right away."

The gray shopkeeper brought a large jar and said.

"What is this? Fuck!"

Liu Zheng's eyes regained clarity, and the pain that had been suppressed immediately came flooding back.

"This is the Bai family's muscle-growing and bone-strengthening ointment. It is very effective in treating external injuries."

The gray shopkeeper introduced.

Among the five families outside the Great Wall, the Bai family is the most gentle. The children of the Bai family often have the best tempers and will not easily conflict with others.

But this does not mean that the Bai family has a low status. On the contrary, their status among the five families outside the Great Wall is second only to the Hu family.

Because the Bai family was gifted in medical skills, they not only opened many clinics in and outside the city, but also infiltrated the "hospitals".

It is said that the most outstanding one has been promoted to associate chief physician.

Given the high cost of medical care in the metropolis, the Bai family has naturally made a fortune over the years.

The muscle-growing and bone-strengthening ointment that Shopkeeper Hui gave to Liu Zheng is also a top-grade medicine sold by the Bai family, which can be regarded as giving enough face to Yuan Baoer.

Liu Zheng applied layer after layer of grease-like ointment all over his body. He felt the pain gradually disappear, and was replaced by a strange feeling as if he had been applied with cooling oil.

His flesh and blood also quickly recovered in these waves of coolness and returned to its original appearance.

"Here, this is also a specialty product of our company."

The gray shopkeeper took out a small cloth bag, poured a green bean from it and handed it to him.

Liu Zheng took the bean and the item introduction popped up immediately.

"Name: Degraded Senzu Beans (One-time)"

"Type: Props"

“Quality: Excellent”

"Effect: Restores a large amount of physical strength and can store the excess physical strength for three days. After the duration ends, the excess physical strength will be automatically discharged."

"Note: When there's no toilet within a ten-meter radius of you, you better not bet on it being a fart."

“Can I take out a copy: Yes”

"Fortunately, I have the ability to store energy."

He looked at the results and notes and exclaimed that he was lucky.

But when you think about it, it doesn't seem to matter. With how frequently he gets injured, the excess physical energy has no chance of being discharged automatically.

Liu Zheng swallowed the inferior magic beans in one gulp and felt his physical strength replenished again.

"Is there enough money?"

he asked.
