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

Chapter 620 Panda: Don't touch me, you perverted bastard!

"Ugh!"

Bai San sighed for the twenty-seventh time.

Stop sighing!

Liu Zheng really couldn't take it anymore.

"Hey, Brother Bai, if you have any ideas, just say them. Stop sighing and groaning all the time. Your sighs are going to block my ears."

he complained.

"What thoughts could I possibly have? This isn't your fault, Mr. Liu; it's just my bad luck."

Bai San smiled wryly.

First, his most promising son got into trouble, and now, he encountered a ghost the Wan Nian Han Yu Quan, a place that had been peaceful for hundreds of years. He even suspects that he is under some kind of curse.

"Don't say that. Actually, this might be a good thing."

Liu Zheng felt embarrassed to argue with him after he said that.

"what?"

Bai San looked completely bewildered.

What could possibly be a good thing?

"That's right. Think about it, your Bai family used to fetch spring water secretly, afraid that people would find out the location of your cave, right?"

"Correct."

Bai San nodded.

"Now you can trade openly and honestly, and there are people guarding the place of origin for you. Isn't that much better than doing it secretly?"

He continued.

"But it turns out it's a business with no initial investment."

Bai San, being a key member of the family, grasped the crux of the problem.

"It's not just the cost of raw materials that's a cost; time costs, safety costs, and labor costs are all costs too. Think about it, if you were to go to war with Cang Zhixue, how many people from the Bai family would die? And if you were to hire help from outside, how much money would that cost?"

"Besides, since Azure Snow knew you were stealing water before, she definitely wouldn't have left you much. Now that the transaction is official, you can ask for a larger supply."

"Although the unit profit has decreased, your sales volume has increased. In the end, you might even make a profit. You can't possibly say that the market for Wan Nian Han Yu Quan is saturated, can you?"

Liu Zheng broke it down for him, one point at a time.

"No, the Ten Thousand Year Cold Jade Spring has a very wide range of uses and has always been in high demand but not available for sale."

Bai San shook his head.

“That’s right. Although I bought it at the lowest price, you know that was just a smokescreen to put Cang Zhi Xue at ease.”

"In any case, I won't compete with the Bai family for market share in the short term."

As for the future...

He paused, then gave a confident smile.

"I believe that your family head will realize in the future that the value of maintaining a good relationship with me is far greater than that of the Ten Thousand Year Cold Jade Spring."

"I believe that."

Bai San also laughed.

Just look at the number of talented people Liu Zheng has brought along; there must be even more he hasn't brought along yet.

Moreover, he has connections in the city government, the Yuan family outside the city, and the Stone Spirit Clan in the Ten Thousand Mountains; he is incredibly well-connected.

With connections, money, and influence, as long as one can survive, they will surely be able to create a great career in the metropolis in the future.

Given Liu Zheng's lineage as a black goat cub, his chances of survival are much, much greater than those of an average person.

"Good that you believe me. Speaking of which, that horse was running way too fast; I was planning to have you treat its injuries."

Liu Zheng said.

"We've only just established mutual trust. How could they possibly let you heal their wounds? You're not afraid of them suddenly retaliating, but they're afraid you'll smuggle something into their medicine."

The Nile doctor rolled his eyes at him.

"Sigh, that's why the doctor-patient relationship is such a long and arduous task."

He rambled on while staring at the finger the Yorozuya had given him.

After constantly taking and creating shortcuts, the direction the finger was pointing had changed from northwest to due north.

"Doctor, do you think it's possible this is a setup?"

Liu Zheng suddenly had a brilliant idea.

"A scheme? What scheme?"

The Nile doctor didn't react immediately.

"Actually, asking me to blow up the mountain is a pretense; the real purpose is to lure me out of the city. Once we get there, five hundred masked men will suddenly appear and wipe us out. Or the mountain may already be full of explosives, which will be detonated as soon as we arrive, blowing us to smithereens."

He was using his imagination.

"Do you have precognitive abilities?"

The Nile doctor's expression turned serious.

"Huh? No."

"So you received divine revelation?"

"The Nile doctor asked."

"No."

"Then what are you talking about? Just sit in the car and stop spreading panic."

The Nile doctor punched him.

"Better safe than sorry. You know how many people I've offended right now, so it's always good to be cautious."

Liu Zheng rubbed his shoulder and said.

"Yes, you're right. Once we get there, I'll go up and check it out first. I'll let you know when it's okay."

"Dr. Nile thought for a moment and said."

"Let Abao go. He's a local bear and has experience in escaping."

He shook his head.

Although the Nile Doctor is very powerful, he is not nearly immortal like him.

"Why?!"

The panda immediately cried out.

"You're a bodyguard, it's only natural for you to check for danger for your employer. Regardless of whether there's danger or not, you'll get a raise when you come back, okay?"

Liu Zheng said.

"Then I'd like a beverage."

The panda's little eyes darted around.

"What?"

"I want the same quality wine as the one you gave that horse, but I don't want wine, I want a soft drink."

The panda emphasized.

"Let's see if Dukang Distillery has any then. If not, I'll get you something from another place. I guarantee it'll taste good and be high-class, okay?"

This wasn't an unreasonable request, and he readily agreed.

Since Dukang Winery didn't have any, he went to Daomei Coffee to buy some, which was enough to fool the mountain boy.

"can."

The panda nodded in satisfaction and continued eating the bamboo shoots.

"what?"

Bai San looked at the scenery outside the window and exclaimed "Eh!" again.

"What treasure has appeared this time?"

Liu Zheng asked with great interest.

"Where did you get so many treasures? Mr. Liu, please don't covet the meager possessions of the Bai family."

Bai San remained silent.

"What are you talking about? I'm just solving your problem at its root. If you don't have any treasures, then what are you 'huh'ing for?"

"There's a strange flower growing on that mountain ahead called the 'Root-Severing Flower.' Its fragrance has the effect of causing infertility, and it's quite potent. Judging by the time, it's currently the blooming season for the Root-Severing Flower. Should we take a detour?"

Bai San explained.

"How could there be such a vicious flower? Didn't you dig them up before they bloomed?"

His eyes widened.

"All things grow according to their own principles. We should not eradicate the root-cutting flower just because its medicinal effects are not satisfactory. Moreover, when it is not flowering, the leaves of the root-cutting flower can accelerate wound healing and prevent infection, which is still very useful to the animals in the mountains."

Bai San explained.

"I see. Your Bai family has quite a sustainable development mindset."

Liu Zheng praised.

"Compared to draining the pond to catch all the fish, we prefer a steady, long-term approach. Otherwise, when we discovered the Ten Thousand Year Cold Jade Spring, we would have just dug out the Ten Thousand Year Cold Jade itself."

Bai San said.

The water of the Wan Nian Han Yu Spring naturally comes from underground water veins, but without the Wan Nian Han Yu as a catalyst, the water vapor cannot condense.

"Luckily you didn't dig, otherwise Azure Snow would have become possessive of her food."

The Jade Spring of Ten Thousand Years is the Snow Horse's food. It turns a blind eye to occasionally stealing a little, but if you try to take the whole thing, it will let the Bai family know how many eyes the Horse King has.

"So although our Bai family has always been in the middle among the five families outside the pass, we have never fallen to the bottom, and we will never be wiped out like the Huang family." Bai San realized this belatedly, and was quite fortunate.

"Speaking of which, how exactly was the Huang family wiped out?"

Liu Zheng asked curiously.

"It's hard to say, it's hard to say, it's better not to say."

Bai San shook his head.

"Ok."

He felt the conversation sounded familiar.

"So, Mr. Liu, should we take a detour?"

Bai San brought the topic back.

"I don't care. What about you?"

Liu Zheng asked.

He's been chosen by the Hell Game; it's hard to say how many dungeons he'll survive, let alone think about having children.

"I don't care, I couldn't have children anyway."

The Nile doctor spoke first.

If he were capable of having children, the sun god Ra would have already issued a divine decree ordering him to give birth to another member of the Ra race.

"Mr. Liu, I don't mind at all. It even saves me the money for condoms."

The fourth brother chuckled slyly.

He already has a whole litter of babies; even if a few die young, it's enough to carry on the family line.

"Boss, I can do it too!"

Niu Daji finally made up his mind.

Although it doesn't have any children yet, it has quite a few brothers and sisters in the family, so it can always adopt one later.

"It's alright, human sir. Our Stone Elf race's fertility is unaffected by the Root-Severing Flower."

Shi Tiantian smiled.

"Mr. Liu, I'm fine with it too. I have three sons."

Bai San also expressed his opinion.

Hedgehogs certainly don't reproduce as many times as mice, but they are still much more prolific than humans.

"I can't do it. I'm the only one left in our giant panda family, and we have to rely on me to reproduce."

The panda raised the only objection.

"By the way, are you male or female?"

Liu Zheng casually ran his hand through the fur on its belly, but found nothing amiss.

The sex characteristics of giant pandas are not very obvious compared to other bear species. Except for some exceptionally gifted "giant egg boys", their sex can usually be determined through formal physical examinations or even DNA testing.

The real-life panda stars "Hehua" and "Heye" were long considered to be siblings, until DNA testing confirmed they were sisters.

"Don't touch it, you pervert!"

The panda covered its belly fur and complained.

"Of course I'm male, and the best of the best among male bears, the king of demon kings! Once I find my kind, I'll immediately build a harem, first having dozens of little pandas to breed, thus prolonging our race and rebuilding my great Hun Dan Sect. Hehehe~"

It was envisioning a blissful future sex life, and its lipstick was almost showing.

"It's a red panda. What if all the pandas you find are male?"

Liu Zheng said this deliberately.

"Then I'll go and refine pills that can transform Yin and Yang, turning them all into female ones."

"The panda said fiercely."

"Hmm, that's ambitious. How much longer would it take if we took a detour?"

He asked Bai San.

"It will take about an extra hour."

Bai San calculated and said.

We've now entered the inner perimeter of the Ten Thousand Mountains, and the level of danger has greatly increased. We can no longer charge around recklessly like before.

"Fine, one hour it is."

Liu Zheng shrugged.

Putting everything else aside, we still need to consider the wishes of our subordinates regarding their fertility.

If you treat your subordinates with ruthlessness, then don't blame them for being unethical towards you.

"what?"

The panda looked at him in surprise.

It thought Liu Zheng would scold it or simply ignore its opinion.

“I’ve already told you, my boss is different from the others you’ve met.”

Niu Daji said proudly.

"Hmph, just trying to bribe Xiong Xin."

The panda stubbornly insisted.

"Yes, yes, so have I managed to bribe you?"

Liu Zheng took the opportunity to vigorously rub its belly.

"Don't touch me like that, you wretched bastard! I'm not your pet."

The panda struggled to fend off his salty tentacles.

"Fine, considering the bonus you gave me, I'll show you something today. Stop the car!"

It broke free from Liu Zheng's embrace, opened the car door, and jumped out.

After reverting to its original form, it plucked a tuft of hair from its body and then pasted it onto the body of the explosion-proof vehicle according to a certain pattern.

"Completely sealed, impervious to all plagues, untouched by all evil, and unassailable by smoke and clouds. I obey the command of the Primordial Ancestor, swiftly open the Qi-repelling array!"

With a sharp shout, the panda's fur, which was stuck to the car body, transformed into black and white talismans.

The talismans were interconnected by black and white energy, forming a barrier that covered the explosion-proof vehicle.

"very good."

The panda looked at its accomplishment and clapped its paw in satisfaction.

"You scoundrel, give me compensation now."

Back in the car, it pointed to its bald patch and said...

"Here you go."

Liu Zheng generously slapped a wad of banknotes on his hand.

"What's the point of this formation you set up?"

he asked.

"Since it's called the Qi-Closing Formation, it's obviously for holding your breath. Outside air can't get in, and inside air can't get out. That includes tiny particles, pollen, spores, and the like."

The panda happily pocketed the banknotes, then used its fur to cover the bald patch.

"Oh no, I'm going to suffocate!"

"You won't suffocate if you go outside. Besides, there's enough air in this car for you to breathe."

"That's what the panda said."

"You guys? Don't you need to breathe air?"

"Hehe, I have an inner core that allows me to circulate within the Small Circulation. With just one breath, I can last for three days and three nights."

"I'm so proud of myself," the panda said.

"Impressive, impressive. But with so many holes in the car body, are you sure your Qi-repelling array can withstand them?"

Liu Zheng looked at the holes on the car body that were denser than stitches and said.

This test vehicle used by the Public Security Bureau is indeed of excellent quality; even after being damaged like this, its driving function is still not significantly affected.

Of course, almost all functions other than driving are disabled.

"Don't worry, it won't be a problem even if it's exposed to the elements, let alone a hole."

"That's what the panda said confidently."

This Qi-repelling array is one of the compulsory spells for disciples of the Hun Dan Sect, and it is also the first spell they learn. Over the years, they have mastered it to perfection.

As for the reason, that's something only outsiders can know.

Okay, actually, the core technique of the Hun Dan Sect is a bit special. Every time you cultivate, you absorb the surrounding spiritual energy and turbid energy together, and then expel them together with the turbid energy in your body.

In other words, farting.

Moreover, the stench of farts can be amplified by cultivation techniques; the higher the cultivation level, the stinkier the farts.

When its master was still alive, every time it farted, it was so loud that it shook heaven and earth and made ghosts weep. No living creature dared to approach the mountaintop.

Therefore, it is a necessity for pandas to master this spell.

"Okay, let's drive then."

Liu Zheng chose to believe it.

"Okay, Mr. Liu."

The fourth brother stepped on the gas, and the explosion-proof vehicle headed towards the mountain road leading up to Duangen Mountain.
