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

Chapter 549: The Swordsmith sacrificed his life to the sword, and the Helper sacrificed his life to help the Swordsmith

"Ah? Would he refuse if I help him solve his problem?"

Liu Zheng was puzzled.

"What you see as a problem may not be a problem in the eyes of others. Let me ask you, drinking river water every meal or eating fish from the sewer one meal and shit from the sewer the next, which one would you choose?"

The pond owner asked.

"Um"

He was lost in thought.

"Got it? Most people can only drink river water for their whole lives, and they won't even have the chance to save up enough to buy a fish. With this curse, at least he feels good when he eats fish, and he can just bear with eating shit."

The pond owner said.

"What if there's so much shit that it'll choke him to death?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Then I don't know. Anyway, when I knew him, his bad luck had not yet reached the point of death."

"Where should I go to find him then?"

he asked again.

"Didn't the new guy tell you?"

"I thought you might know something. Your information is definitely more accurate than that of a young man like him."

Liu Zheng chuckled.

"You are quite knowledgeable. His home is at 188 Hat Street. I remember he likes to read pornographic magazines. You can buy a few as a gift for him."

The pond owner said with satisfaction.

"After so many years, he won't move away, right?"

He said worriedly.

“No. This house is his ancestral home. His luck will be relatively stable only if he stays in the ancestral home at night. So unless something serious happens to him, he will definitely not move.”

With that person's physique, if something serious happens, he'll basically be dead.

"Ok."

As the saying goes, an old man in the family is like a treasure. It is indeed beneficial to know more old people.

"By the way, what's that person's name?"

Liu Zheng then remembered that the fisherman had not told him the man's name.

"I don't know either. I just know his last name is Pu, and we all call him Pujie."

".He is very generous for wanting to play with you. Although this title is quite appropriate."

He twitched the corner of his mouth and said.

"Is he willing to play with us? It's more like we are willing to play with him. Do you think his bad luck will only hurt himself? Will an avalanche only bury a tree?"

The pond owner said with disdain.

"It seems so. Are you still willing to play with him?"

"Nothing is interesting after living for a long time. Who made him so funny? Hahaha, it's still fucking funny when I think about it now."

The owner of the pond couldn't help laughing when he recalled the past.

"I don't understand the bad taste of you immortals. Thank you, Master of the pond."

Out of politeness, Liu Zheng still expressed his gratitude.

"You're welcome. You did well last time. Next time you meet someone with bad intentions, you must keep them away from you. Got it?"

The pond owner warned.

"So you know everything that happened in Dijing Villa?"

He was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately.

"Nonsense, I'm just hiding, I'm not dead."

The pond owner said unhappily.

"Why don't you come out and help? Salmon and I were almost beaten to death by that birdman."

Liu Zheng complained.

"I can't help. Not to mention that I only have a face left now, even if I was still whole, I couldn't beat her."

The pond owner said frankly.

"Okay, I didn't expect you to."

"You kid, I"

Before the pond owner could utter any vulgar words, he hung up the phone.

"To the newsagents."

After getting in the sports car, Liu Zheng said to the driver.

"it is good."

The driver didn't even ask which newsstand it was, he just stepped on the accelerator and arrived at the destination.

Looking at the familiar glass window and the boss dozing inside, Liu Zheng couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

He never thought that there would come a day when he would have to deal with this pure meat sausage.

But it makes sense when you think about it. Who would date someone who could get into trouble at any time and who might get themselves into trouble?

No matter what his sexual orientation is, the end result is that he will end up alone.

"Well, this may be a breakthrough."

While thinking, Liu Zheng walked forward and knocked on the glass.

"Boss, don't sleep anymore, it's time for business."

"Do you want starch or pure meat?"

The boss looked up suddenly.

"Boss, have you forgotten that you run a newsstand?"

He said with empty eyes.

"I would have starved to death if I had relied on the money from selling newspapers and magazines."

The boss rubbed his eyes and saw the person in front of him clearly.

"So it's you, kid. Why did Niuma ask you to buy pornographic magazines again?"

The boss raised his eyelids and said.

"No, my boss is cultivating himself recently, so I bought it myself."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

"You look quite decent, but I didn't expect you to be involved in this."

The boss said contemptuously.

"Food and sex are human nature. Reading pornographic magazines is better than committing murder or setting fire to others. But I don't read them myself. I buy them as gifts."

"You are still talking in such a set way, come in."

The boss opened the door for him.

"Is it necessary for you to open the door of a newsstand before entering?"

After entering the door, Liu Zheng couldn't help but complain.

"Of course it's necessary. You know what else I sell here."

The boss said meaningfully.

"Then why are you telling me so blatantly?"

"How good is the work of your Bloody Restaurant? Besides, I must have consulted with the higher-ups before doing this, otherwise who would be stopped by this broken door?"

The boss said without hesitation.

"Then why are you still building this door?"

"A sense of ceremony is always necessary, but it can't be too blatant. Besides, what if some foolish young man comes in and makes things public?"

The boss said.

"That makes sense. The boss is very wise. I admire you."

He flatters.

"Of course, my newsstand is a century-old shop, passed down from my grandfather's generation. How could it be open until now without some skills?"

The boss said proudly.

"Then can you help me pick out a suitable gift? Something erotic."

Liu Zheng hit the snake with a stick.

"What's the other person's race? What's their sexual orientation? Do they have any preferences?"

The boss entered business mode.

"Probably human. I don't know about the others."

He shook his head.

"Then why are you buying such a gift if you don't know anything?"

The boss rolled his eyes.

"You'll know after you deliver it. Boss, think of a solution. Money is not a problem."

Liu Zheng said this and took out a stack of money.

"Hey, you've become so generous after not seeing you for a few days. How come Niuma helped you do something big?"

The boss was surprised.

"I took on some work myself. Of course, I also needed the help of my boss."

"Yes, it seems you are capable of doing great things. How about this, what is your budget?"

The boss first praised it and then asked.

"One hundred thousand."

Liu Zheng thought for a moment and said.

"One hundred thousand?!!!"

The boss almost dropped his jaw.

"Are you going to work in the city hall or go to college? Why are you giving me such an expensive gift?"

"My godfather is being buried today, and I want to find someone of status to write a couplet for him," he said half-seriously.

"Even if you want to ask the professor to write a funeral couplet, you can't use such a heavy gift. Besides, you still have to pay a fee for writing, right?"

The boss is quite understanding about this.

"Don't worry about it. Just pick one for me based on the 100,000 yuan. Please, please."

Liu Zheng clasped his hands and bowed.

"If you say so, can the budget be raised a little more?"

The boss thought for a moment and asked.

"No more than two hundred thousand."

He said after thinking for a moment.

"Two hundred and fifty thousand, and I'll sell you my treasure."

"Two hundred and twenty thousand. I really can't take out any more."

Liu Zheng pretended to grit his teeth.

"Well, okay, I'll give it to you for helping me last time. Of course, it's also mainly because that thing will probably expire if I don't sell it."

The boss is quite honest.

"Then how about the price?"

he probed.

"Don't even think about it. Two hundred and twenty thousand is the price. If it's any lower, I'd rather let it expire. I worked really hard to get this thing."

The boss refused without hesitation.

"Okay. Then you should at least let me see the real thing first and then explain its functions?"

Liu Zheng shrugged.

"Wait. Don't mess with the things on my cabinet. I don't want to clean them up again."

After giving the instructions, the boss turned and went into the warehouse.

"If you don't want people to browse the merchandise, then why do you put it out there? Just put up a catalogue."

Even though he complained, he still stood there waiting.

It seems that he has this kind of determination. If it were Niu Ma or Niu Daji, they would have been like mice entering a rice warehouse by now.

After waiting for a few minutes, the boss came out of the warehouse with a package box in his arms.

"Here, this is the treasure of my shop."

The boss opened the box and showed Liu Zheng what was inside.

Inside is something that looks like glasses, with lenses, a frame, and a stand.

But if you look closely, the so-called lenses are two thin eyeballs, the so-called frames are two ears, and the frames are two hands with elongated fingers.

"Name: Super Sese VR Glasses"

"Type: Props"

“Quality: Excellent”

"Effect 1: After use, it will automatically generate erotic materials based on the player's sexual preferences."

"Effect 2: Soaking it in your own body fluids before using it can give players a sensory experience that is almost indistinguishable from reality."

"Note: Brothers, follow me and charge again!"

“Can I take out a copy: Yes”

"That's awesome."

Looking at the effects of the items, Liu Zheng couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

It’s worthy of being called the Met. In reality, we haven’t even developed holographic VR glasses, but this one can directly simulate sensory stimulation.

This is no longer a VR pair of glasses, but more like the virtual reality helmets in online game novels.

Moreover, props that are not disposable are quite rare.

"How's it? Worth it?"

the boss asked smugly.

“It’s definitely worth it.”

Liu Zheng nodded.

"Of course. The cost of this thing is 150,000, and there is no demand for it."

The boss said.

“Isn’t this thing mass-produced?”

"It is mass-produced, but it is handmade. The craftsman who made it has disappeared, so it is out of print."

The boss told the inside story.

"Was he killed himself by rushing too much?"

Thinking of the contents in the notes, he said with empty eyes.

"It's not impossible."

The boss shrugged.

“That’s a craftsman’s spirit.”

The swordsmith sacrificed his own body to the sword, what does this count as? The assistant sacrificed his own life to help the enemy?
"Okay, I want this treasure of the store."

Liu Zheng counted out 220,000 and gave it to the other party.

"Not bad, not bad. Please take care of my business in the future."

The boss was counting the money with a smile on his face.

"Okay. But since I spent so much at once, aren't you going to give me a membership card or something?"

he half-joked.

"I don't have a membership card, but I can give you a gift."

The boss lifted up his clothes and took out a steaming sausage.

"Here, eat it while it's hot."

He handed the sausage to Liu Zheng.

The latter couldn't help but twitch his eyes when he saw the body that looked exactly like his boss's.

"Name: Newsstand owner's pure meat sausage (one-time)"

"Type: Props"

“Quality: Excellent”

"Effect: Restore a small amount of physical strength, gain the 'well fed' status, lasting half an hour."

"Note: Trust me, you don't want to know where this meat came from."

“Can I take out a copy: Yes”

"Well-fed: The player will be in a full state and will not feel hungry due to any factors."

"Thank you, I'm full without eating."

Liu Zheng chuckled.

Although he had no interest in eating this thing, he thought it would be great to have something for free.

Moreover, the state of "feeling full" is also a conceptual ability, so it might be useful.

Therefore, he put the pure meat sausage into the system space with a look of disgust.

"Let's go, boss."

Liu Zheng said hello and left the newsstand.

"Manager Xu, please deliver the talisman to 188 Hat Street."

He called the bald manager and then signaled the driver to drive.

When they arrived at Maozi Street, Liu Zheng signaled the driver to slow down, while he looked around and soon found the target.

It was a two-story wooden building facing the street, sandwiched between two brick houses similar to single-family houses. It looked particularly old and cramped.

A brass plaque with the words 188 Hat Street was nailed to the wooden door, which had faded and peeled from lack of care.

Liu Zheng got out of the car, but did not rush to knock on the door. Instead, he stood there waiting.

After waiting for a while, a black hearse drove into Hat Street.

"This way."

He stood on tiptoe and waved his tentacles.

The hearse also spotted him and sped towards him.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Liu, I kept you waiting."

The bald manager got out of the car and said.

"It's okay. I just got here too. Where's the stuff?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Bring it."

The bald manager took out a rectangular box from his pocket.

When he opened the box, he found a piece of black talisman paper that was exactly the same as Joshua's.

Liu Zheng picked up the talisman paper, and the item description was exactly the same.

"very good."

He nodded with satisfaction and handed the bark and branches he had tucked under his armpits to the other party.

Feeling the vitality contained in the bark and branches, the bald manager also smiled.

The cathode produces the yang, the anode produces the yin, and trees are between living things and dead things. The more vital the wood used to make the coffin, the more beneficial it will be to the deceased buried in it.

As the only intelligent tree in the city, the wood of the plane tree is outstanding.

As for copper coffins, iron coffins, and gold coffins, in addition to showing off wealth and status, they are more often used to suppress the dead buried in them.

"Just wait here for a while, and I'll go to the cemetery with you later."

Liu Zheng said to the bald man, then went forward and knocked on the door.
