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

Chapter 597 The money came really fast.

First, we can exclude males such as cattle, horses, white-feathered chickens, and Nile doctors.

There's nothing else to it, it's just that I can't stand it emotionally.

It's like licking feet. He licks Si Xue's feet reluctantly, but if it were Britannia's feet, he would fight to the death.

Some people might say that since gender can be changed anyway, what's the difference between male and female?
But if you can't let go, you can't let go. If Liu Zheng could let go of everything, he would have drunk the Yellow Soup of the Eight Hot Hells and instantly become an Arhat.

Of the remaining acquaintances, the most suitable one to mention is the London plane tree.

First, it has the strongest alcohol addiction; second, it is also very potent; and third, it is a plant, so even if it is excreted, it is only equivalent to being soaked in tree sap, which is still acceptable.

However, there is a problem: it is still a tree, and the abilities it possesses are likely unusable by it.

For example, if someone were to gain the ability to quickly absorb nutrients using tree roots, they couldn't very well install several tree roots on themselves, could they?

Then there's Si Xue. The boss also has a serious drinking problem, and her strength is incredibly formidable. Just one of her abilities would be enough for Liu Zheng to enjoy.

For example, if he were to acquire an ability to enhance flames, his strength in the "Burning Fury" state would increase by another level.

But there is a huge problem: how can he convince Si Xue to eat the King of Wine Worms and then excrete it for him?
Liu Zheng felt that there was a greater chance that Si Xue would eat him and then expel him.

As for the remaining Nightingale, Ama, Vampire Girl, Pot-Head Soup Girl, etc., he didn't know who had the bigger drinking problem, and he felt that they were all a bit lacking in strength.

Are we really going to give the King of Wine Worms to the cattle and horses?
He was torn by inner turmoil.

"correct!"

Liu Zheng's eyes lit up.

How could he forget about the Ghost Hand?

When it comes to alcohol addiction, Ghost Hand is a typical example of someone who is bad at drinking but has a huge addiction.

In terms of strength, it was able to withstand Si Xue's punishment and still be alive and kicking, and even transferred the golden liquid used to punish it to him, so its strength was beyond doubt.

Regardless of what it was before, it is now just a hand, and a hand is essentially genderless.

In terms of adaptability, the ability of one hand is not far behind his.

"Perfect!"

Liu Zheng excitedly patted the tentacle.

But then another problem arises: Ghost Hand only appears when there are new orders, but he already has orders on him and can't keep waiting for new orders in the lounge.

Do you need someone to place an order? Or should we wait until this order is finished before waiting for another order?

After thinking for a moment, he decided to choose the latter.

Ordering it now is a waste, and the Wine Worm King has more than one effect; keeping it might have other uses.

"Daji, come here."

Liu Zheng called Niu Daji to his side.

"There's something I have to tell you."

He told it about the "blood of the Arakos sandworm" and the treatment methods used by the medicinal bees.

“If you don’t want treatment, I’ll give you a large sum of money and find you a job. But you can’t stay with me anymore.”

Liu Zheng said with a cold expression.

He couldn't possibly keep a drug addict around; that would be no different than having a ticking time bomb inside him.

"Boss, I'm willing to get treatment!"

Niu Daji said without hesitation.

Liu Zheng cannot accept a drug addict, and neither can his family.

The Niu family has been able to live peacefully in Bathhouse Street for so many years thanks to two things: the protection of their ancestors and their carefulness.

"Okay. I will do my best to ensure your safety, but you can also make any wishes you have now, and I will try my best to fulfill them."

Liu Zheng nodded.

While it's unlikely that Medical Bee will cause trouble, anything can happen.

"Can I make any wish?"

Niu Daji scratched his head.

"Just name your name, I'll just say so if I can't do it."

"Then I'll say it, boss. I want everyone on Bath Street to guard our house so our family can enjoy ourselves at the bathhouse."

Niu Daji said.

"You little brat, you're even better at pretending than your boss."

Liu Zheng chuckled and playfully smacked it on the back of the head.

"Hehe. After guarding the gate for generations, it's time for our family to enjoy it."

Niu Daji was a little embarrassed, but his tone was very firm.

"Okay, I promise you."

He nodded.

It's not difficult to do. Just make a giant fart bomb and add a dumpling to repay a debt of gratitude. If they don't agree, just blow up the entire bathhouse street.

"Thanks, boss. Of course, it would be best if I could survive."

Niu Daji rubbed his hands together and said.

"Nonsense, do you think I'd want to fulfill your last wish?"

Liu Zheng said irritably.

"hey-hey."

Niu Daji touched his head again.

Since it was here, Liu Zheng simply took it to "Yifeng Pharmacy" first.

"Doctor Bee, I've brought the person."

He knocked on the door.

"Okay, you can leave now."

"It's a medical bee," the doctor said through the crack in the door.

"She's your patient, not your guinea pig. You understand what I mean?"

Liu Zheng placed the tentacle on the door and said.

"Don't think of me as something so despicable, human. I also have a price list for recruiting test subjects."

The medical bee expressed its dissatisfaction.

"I don't accept offers, and I especially don't accept offers after the fact. Remember, if anything happens to my men, the only thing you can offer in return is your life."

he said coldly.

"Humph!"

The medical bee snorted coldly, but said nothing.

"Contact me after your treatment is complete."

Liu Zheng said to Niu Daji.

"Okay, boss."

Niu Daji said with a look of admiration.

Doctors are always treated like royalty, like those doctors in the bathhouse district, who only get scolded every time they go to see a patient.

If it dares to threaten the other party, its mother will beat it up before anyone else even has to lift a finger.

After making arrangements for Niu Daji, he drove to Rose Street.

The plane trees look like they've had quite a bit to drink; they're currently singing and dancing wildly.

The ginseng doll is dancing to its rhythm, but it has to be careful not to get hurt by it, looking pitiful.

She cast a pleading look at Liu Zheng, who could only respond with a helpless expression.

In this state, he dared not approach the plane trees, otherwise he would have no recourse if he wasted his life.

Once they reached the sewer, the fisherman was already waiting beside the drain.

"What are you looking for me for?"

he asked.

"I bought something and I'm asking you to reimburse me. If you don't, I'll find another way."

Liu Zheng took out the Yellow Soup from the Eight Hot Hells and explained his thoughts.

"Arhats are nothing special. The one who tried to capture me was an Arhat, but he still failed."

The fisherman curled his lip.

If he were to run into that bald monk again now, he'd be lucky if he didn't vomit up.

"Whether it's impressive or not depends on who you compare it to. Besides, you have a daughter, and even a bald monk has relatives, friends, and disciples. Holding gold in the market will always come in handy someday."

"Of course, if you think it's useless, then forget it. I have a way to deal with it."

Liu Zheng said.

There's no reason why an epic-level item shouldn't sell.

"how much is it?"

"The original price was 100 million, but I used the 90% discount to reduce it to 10 million."

he replied.

Even close brothers should keep clear accounts. He doesn't have to make a profit, but he wants the other party to know how much he has contributed.

"One hundred million"

The fisherman's face twitched.

Even if he monopolized the fisheries in the sewers, 100 million is still an astronomical figure.

"I don't need that much, just give me 15 million to make some money."

Liu Zheng said generously.

"Hmph, don't think you can make me owe you a favor and then use that to blackmail me into agreeing to your relationship with the female diver."

The fisherman glared at him and said.

“I have absolutely no such idea, you don’t need to worry at all.”

He squinted and said.

"Hmph, who knows. Just wait and see."

The fisherman jumped into the downstream river, barely making a splash.

"It's a real shame that he didn't participate in the diving competition."

Liu Zheng commented. After waiting for more than ten minutes, the fisherman jumped out of the river again.

"This is worth 80 million."

The fisherman handed him a clam.

The river mussel is only the size of a palm, and it looks like it was carved from a single piece of jade. It even has a faint luster, so it is obviously not an ordinary item.

"What's the use of this thing?"

Liu Zheng took the clam, but no item description popped up.

"I do not know either."

The fisherman shook his head.

"I just sensed a tremendous power inside, but the shell is too tightly sealed. If I were to force it open, it would probably damage the clam. I can only find out after it matures and opens its shell."

"When will it mature and open its shell?"

he asked.

"Three hundred years."

"How about you find me a better fish, and we'll consider it payment for the 80 million?"

Liu Zheng remained silent.

It takes three hundred years to mature. By then, he'll be buried in the ground. Are we going to use him as a burial offering?
He doesn't necessarily need to make money off the fishermen; he just needs to break even.

"If you want it to ripen earlier, just take it to seawater and soak it."

"That's what the fisherman said."

Isn't it a freshwater clam?

"Can't freshwater clams absorb the essence of the ocean? You humans even emphasize a balanced diet of meat and vegetables."

The fisherman retorted.

"alright."

What he said made perfect sense, and Liu Zheng was speechless.

"These are gold bars worth twenty million."

The fisherman pulled out another box, which contained neatly stacked gold bars.

"Where did you find this? People even throw gold bars away like trash!"

Liu Zheng asked curiously.

"Trade secrets."

The fisherman said in a very serious tone.

"Tch, fine, don't tell me then. Here you go."

He gave the fisherman the yellow soup from the Eight Hot Hells.

"Give it to the female diver; if she doesn't want it, keep it. If you can get rid of those bald monks, it's yours. But you can't use it until they're completely dealt with."

The fisherman did not accept it.

"Okay. Here, this bottle is for you."

Liu Zheng put away the gold bars and the Eight Hot Hells Yellow Soup, and took out a bottle of silver-labeled rice wine for him.

Why rice wine?

"Rice wine has a low alcohol content, and if you don't like it, you can use it for fishing."

He shrugged.

When Liu Zheng was a child, he watched others fishing, and many of them used rice wine as bait.

"Using Dukang Distillery's wine as bait? How could you even think of that? Besides, with my abilities, why would I need to use that as bait?"

The fisherman gave him a disdainful look.

"You're so high and mighty, you think you're so great."

Liu Zheng rolled his eyes.

"Humph."

The fisherman walked away with his head held high, as if he had won a victory.

"With such a strong fatherly presence, no wonder he can't get along with his daughter."

He muttered a cricket-like phrase to himself, then shouted it out at the top of his lungs.

"Rust, I've brought you some wine."

“You didn’t have to shout so loudly.”

Rust appeared behind him without warning and spoke expressionlessly.

"Just consider it an exercise to improve lung capacity."

Liu Zheng said indifferently.

"Where's the wine?"

Rust asked.

"Why won't you let me in to give it to you?"

He keenly recognized the problem.

"We can't let them smell the alcohol, or it will cause a lot of trouble."

Rust shook his head.

"Then how will you drink it?"

"While they take their next afternoon nap, we'll lock the warehouse door and drink it secretly."

Rust revealed a smug expression.

“That’s very life-like.”

It's unbelievable that someone as thick-browed and handsome as Iron Rust would do such sneaky things; it's laughable.

"Give."

Liu Zheng took out a bottle of gold label and two bottles of silver label and gave them to it.

This wasn't him treating people differently based on their status; it was Rust's reward for helping him get rid of the evil god's nightmare.

"Yes, it's good wine."

Rust opened the bottle, took a sniff, and a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.

If teachers are like this, it's no wonder that the kids are all little drunkards.

"If you're satisfied, I'm leaving now."

Liu Zheng said hello and then left the sewer.

After exiting the sewer, he first called the female diver.

"I bought you something, do you want it now?"

Liu Zheng told her about the Yellow Soup of the Eight Hot Hells.

"I do not want."

The female diver's answer was exactly what he expected.

"Okay, I'll keep it for you for now. Just let me know when you want it."

"Liu Zheng!"

Just as he was about to hang up, the vampire girl's voice rang out, still with that incredibly childlike voice.

"Why do you still sound like that? Haven't you been drinking?"

Liu Zheng asked, puzzled.

"No. That drink makes you sleepy, and I'm still at work."

"That's what the vampire girl replied."

How long are you going to sleep?

"I don't know, it might be a very long time. So Liu Zheng, you have to come see me before I fall asleep."

"That's what the vampire girl said."

"Okay, call me when you get off work."

He touched the vampire girl's head in the air, then hung up the phone.

"Oh, right, I also need to call Silver Wolf."

When the topic of getting off work came up, Liu Zheng remembered that Silver Wolf had invited him to his house for dinner that evening.

If he doesn't give any notice, then he'll have to use oxen and horses instead.

"Brother-in-law, I've taken the day off, so you don't need to order any takeout for me tonight."

He answered the phone and spoke to Silver Wolf.

"Can you still take leave?"

Silver Wolf exclaimed in surprise.

"My situation is rather special."

"Are you busy? If not, come over now. I happen to be free right now."

"Silver Wolf said."

"A bit busy."

He said politely.

"Even though you're busy, you still made the trip. Your sister-in-law prepared some gifts for you."

Silver Wolf said without a doubt.

"Okay. Then tell me your address."

Since it had said so, Liu Zheng had no choice but to agree.

Ten minutes later, he arrived at the entrance of the staff quarters of the Municipal Market Supervision Department.

The Market Supervision Department has a large number of employees, including a significant proportion of long-lived individuals. As a low-level leader like Silver Wolf, he naturally wouldn't be allocated housing, only dormitories.

With its wealth, it could easily afford to buy a house outside, but it still chooses to live in the dormitory, mainly for safety reasons.

As soon as Liu Zhenggang parked his car, the security guard at the entrance came over.

"No parking here, move your vehicle now!"

The security guard spoke sternly, his expression remaining unchanged even as he saw the blood-stained restaurant uniform on the man's body.
