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

Chapter 696 Liu Zheng
Ten minutes later, Liu Zheng went upstairs again.

When I arrived at the entrance of 501, the fruits and vegetables that had been laid out on the ground were gone.

"how is the taste?"

he asked with a smile.

"The taste is good, but it's not enough to save my life."

The person inside remained resolute, but their tone softened somewhat.

"This is just a stepping stone."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

He never expected that a little food could save someone's life, and it wasn't even a perfect quality food.

"Can we have a proper talk now?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"You want me to die, but I want to live. We can't have a proper talk."

"That's what the person inside said."

"I definitely won't survive if I can't deliver food, but you might not die if you receive food."

"I've sent many people away, and none of them have died as long as they've cooperated with me. At most, they've just been reduced to their original state."

“As long as you don’t die, I can heal you no matter how serious the injury. I have people at the Imhetem Clinic, the Bai family, and even the hospital.”

He said.

"Are you talking about the Bai family, one of the Five Families outside the Great Wall?"

The person inside asked.

"That's right. You know him?"

"I met someone from the Bai family at a vegetarian salon."

The person inside replied.

The Bai family's prototype is a hedgehog. Hedgehogs are omnivores, eating fruits, vegetables, snakes, insects, rodents, and so on. It wouldn't be surprising if a purely vegetarian one were to emerge from among them.

"Oh, that's perfect. You can call and ask if what I said is true."

"We broke up a long time ago."

The person inside remained silent for a moment before speaking.

"Oh? Oh~"

Liu Zheng dragged out his words.

"Because of what?"

He asked with concern.

Of course, it was purely for the purpose of delivering the food smoothly, and I had absolutely no intention of gossiping.

"Things aren't very harmonious in that area."

The people inside responded quite readily this time.

"Oh, it's okay. I know a doctor who is very knowledgeable in this area. He can help you solve problems whether the time is too short or the tools are too small."

Liu Zheng said enthusiastically.

Obstacles in that area are actually quite easy to solve; drugs, magic, witchcraft, divine arts—there's bound to be one that suits you in most cities.

Britain's troubles were not because its tools broke, but because the Butcher of Paradise chopped them off.

"No, it's because mine is too long and thick, he can't stand it."

The person inside said sadly.

"Just asking, are you all male?"

Liu Zheng squinted and said.

"Yeah, right. What? You discriminate against people of the same sex?"

The person inside asked in return.

"No, I don't discriminate. I have two good friends who are also of the same sex."

He shook his head.

"Shall I get you a smaller one?"

He didn't dwell on the problem and directly provided a solution.

"Why?!"

The tone of the people inside the room suddenly became intense.

"Do you know how much effort I put into training it to be like this? They all call me Cannon Jack, do you want my nickname to become Nurse Jack?"

It questioned.

"It can't be that bad. It's just getting smaller, it wouldn't change your gender."

Liu Zheng tried to comfort him.

I meant getting a shot!

The person inside the house said angrily.

"Huh? Oh~"

Sometimes he really hates himself for being able to understand things so quickly.

"Okay, I'll have him call you first, then you sign for the delivery, and we'll talk more later."

Liu Zheng suggested.

"Have him call me first."

"can."

He immediately called Bai San.

"What are your instructions, Mr. Liu?"

Bai San's tone was very respectful.

There was nothing he could do; he had only heard that Liu Zheng was efficient, but he hadn't expected him to be this efficient.

Such a rare species with amazing abilities and good character, even if the son couldn't be saved, we should still befriend them.

"Forget about instructions or anything like that, here's the thing."

Liu Zheng recounted what had happened.

"No problem, I'll have him call right away. What's his name?"

Bai San asked.

What was your ex-boyfriend's name?

"White crossbow force".

"That's what the people inside said."

"So it was that kid. Don't worry, Mr. Liu, I'll make sure they get back together. If he dares to disobey, I'll break his legs!"

Bai San hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

A few minutes later, a cell phone rang inside the house.

"I'll give you three minutes to catch up. If you exceed three minutes, I'll have to start using force."

Liu Zheng glanced at the time and said.

He's never tried forcing his way through a goal before, so this is a good opportunity to give it a shot.

Even if he can't force his way in, he has other options.

Fortunately, the people inside didn't make him wait too long.

Two minutes later, the door opened.

However, Liu Zheng did not see any living creatures.

"Look down."

A voice reminded me.

He looked down and saw a large tortoise looking up at him.

The giant tortoise has a thick, large head that looks like a hook, serrated ridges on its carapace, and thorns on its tail, making it look very fierce.

If Liu Zheng remembers correctly, this should be an alligator snapping turtle.

"If you want me to accept takeout orders, you have to do one thing first."

Just as he was pondering what prey alligator snapping turtles were, the turtle spoke.

"what's up?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Defeat me!"

The alligator snapping turtle suddenly stood upright.

Liu Zheng felt a blur before his eyes, followed by a sharp pain in his chest.

He took several steps back, looked down, and saw a deep palm print on his chest.

"Thank goodness it wasn't a headprint."

A strange thought flashed through his mind.

"You still dare to be distracted?"

The alligator snapping turtle, its voice laced with anger, lashed out with its claws once more.

However, this time Liu Zheng was prepared and directly used "hardening" to block.

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound, he took another half step back, and another claw mark appeared on his tentacle.

"If you don't show your true skills next time, you'll die by my mushroom head."

"It's alligator snapping turtle," the turtle said coldly.

"Don't worry, I definitely wouldn't want to die like that."

Liu Zheng said earnestly.

"Then take this!"

After saying that, the alligator snapping turtle sprang into the air and then began to spin violently.

Its four claws retracted into its shell, and then a torrent of flames spewed out from it.

The alligator snapping turtle, transformed into a fiery meteor, charged towards Liu Zheng, and a wave of heat hit him even before he got close.

However, the high temperature is merely a side effect of this move; the real destructive power comes from the impact force amplified by the high-speed motion.

Although it looks small, it actually weighs as much as an adult elephant.

This move cannot be blocked with physical strength; even if you could block it, it would consume a lot of your energy.

Even though his black goat calf lineage prevented him from feeling nauseous about eating, constantly overeating wasn't exactly comfortable.

Therefore, Liu Zheng chose to draw his sword.

Because there is no anger, "anger" remains the shape of a rusty knife.

However, it's not good for attacking people, but it's good for being attacked, after all, its perfect quality speaks for itself.

The alligator snapping turtle collided with "anger," and the friction between the turtle's shell and the blade created intense sparks that mingled with the flames spewed from the shell.

Liu Zheng was forced backward by the enormous impact, and the blade bent slightly.

"Something."

He has the attribute bonuses from the legendary vest and divine essence. He has rarely encountered a situation where his power is so overwhelming.

But it's not a big problem; he's never won because of his physical attributes.

"Eyewitness account!"

Liu Zheng used another skill.

He refused to believe that the alligator snapping turtle's mental attributes could surpass his. His sharp, sword-like gaze pierced the alligator snapping turtle's mind.

Sure enough, the alligator snapping turtle's spinning motion suddenly stopped for a moment, and the flames spewing from its right side also paused, emitting two plumes of black smoke.

Since a fight had already broken out, Liu Zheng didn't hold back and swung his rusty knife down.

However, the blade flashed and only struck a wisp of air.

Because the flames on the left side of the alligator snapping turtle did not stop erupting, the unbalanced momentum sent it flying to the side, crashing heavily into the wall.

The wall wasn't as hard as a perfectly high-quality kitchen knife; the alligator snapping turtle stuck right into it.

To be precise, it was the head of an alligator snapping turtle.

"Hey, are you still going to fight?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"What's the point of fighting?"

The dull thud of the alligator snapping turtle came from inside the wall.

"Then I'll pull it out for you."

He stepped forward, grabbed the tortoise shell, and slammed his right hoof against the wall.

"Boom!"

After another hoof print appeared on the wall, the alligator snapping turtle was successfully pulled out.

"grass!"

It muttered a curse.

"Don't curse even if you lose. You're a vegetarian, how can you be so rude?"

Liu Zheng criticized.

What kind of move was that you just used?

"The alligator snapping turtle asked."

"I can't tell you, anyway, it's a skill of the city hall."

he replied.

".That's okay."

Its real killing move was actually a sudden headshot, which was at least ten times more powerful than a claw strike.

Unfortunately, Liu Zheng's "witnessing" was faster and the effect was just right to counteract its state of needing focused control, resulting in it shooting through the wall panel and losing a big turtle on the spot.

Thankfully, no one else saw it, or it would have been tempted to kill to cover it up.

"You absolutely cannot tell a third person what just happened."

"It's like an alligator snapping turtle saying indignantly."

"What just happened?"

Liu Zheng blinked, looking completely bewildered.

"Well, it's okay."

Seeing that he was so cooperative, the alligator snapping turtle was in a much better mood.

"Give me takeout."

It extended its claws.

"No need, I'll just put it in your room."

After Liu Zheng finished speaking, he took out a lunchbox, walked back to the door of 501, and placed it on the carpet.

"Alright, go inside and wait."

He said.

"Row."

The alligator snapping turtle crawled back inside and lay down next to the lunchbox.

How are things going with your conversation with your ex-boyfriend?

With eight minutes left before the delivery time, Liu Zheng started a conversation.

He agreed to go on one more date with me.

The alligator snapping turtle smiled.

God knows how a turtle's head could laugh, but it did it anyway.

"That's great. When? Have you decided where to go?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"I'm going to the Grand Theatre to see a stage play tomorrow afternoon."

The alligator snapping turtle replied.

"Hmm, how about you guys change the activity?"

He said politely.

"Is watching a stage play unsuitable for a first date after getting back together?"

The alligator snapping turtle asked, puzzled.

"It's not really a good time right now. How about we go see a movie? After the movie, we can do some shopping, then go to the bathhouse for a soak, a massage, and then have a candlelight dinner."

Liu Zheng suggested.

"I'm a little short on cash lately."

The alligator snapping turtle said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Unemployed?"

"No, the finance department has been refusing to reimburse the money I advanced."

The alligator snapping turtle shook its head.

"Non-compliant?"

“It’s compliant. I overreported a little, but everyone else does it, so I’m the only one who gets stuck. Every time I go there, they either say there’s a problem with the invoice or that the form is filled out incorrectly.”

"The alligator snapping turtle said indignantly."

How is your relationship with finance?

"I'm still very polite when we meet, but as for a private relationship, there isn't one."

The alligator snapping turtle replied.

"Okay, you can take this money and use it for now."

Liu Zheng took out a handful of money and placed it on the tortoise shell.

"What are you doing? I'm not that spineless coward."

"The alligator snapping turtle said unhappily."

"I'm just lending it to you for now. You can pay me back once your reimbursement comes through."

"Who knows when the report will be submitted?"

"The alligator snapping turtle sighed."

"Don't worry, I have a plan. How much longer can you stay at this company?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"The company's benefits are actually pretty good. I'll probably keep working here as long as I don't get laid off."

"That's fine. Go to this place, touch the spider web and say you're a friend of Liu Zheng, the deliveryman, and want to buy a shawl. After you buy it, give the shawl to the accountant, and your money should be reimbursed."

Liu Zheng took out a map and pointed out the location of the Spider Cave.

"A beaded shawl, how much would that cost?"

The alligator snapping turtle retracted its head.

"That's why I asked you if you plan to work here long-term. Don't worry, mentioning my name should get you a discount, and if you don't have enough money, just put it on my tab."

"You're not planning to deliver takeout to me again, are you?"

"I asked in a heavy tone," the alligator snapping turtle asked.

This treatment is no longer at the level of a one-off deal.

"That depends on whether you're that unlucky."

Speaking of which, I wonder if there are any unlucky souls who have been forced to order from the Bloody Restaurant multiple times. You can ask Niu Ma when you get back.

"I"

Just as the alligator snapping turtle was about to speak, it suddenly stiffened, its head and limbs retracting completely into its shell.

Liu Zheng knew that the cashier was coming.

"Good luck, Turtle Bro."

He closed the door for the alligator snapping turtle.

After going downstairs, he arrived at the property management center.

"Hello, how can I help you?"

"I can't breathe," asked the receptionist at the antelope reception desk.

"I'm looking for someone. Where is my minotaur brother?"

"It's in the manager's office; it's the third room straight ahead."

"It's Antelope," the receptionist replied.

"it is good."

Liu Zheng found the manager's office as instructed, then pushed open the door and left.

"Boss!"

Niu Daji, who was sitting in a dignified posture, immediately stood up when he saw him come in, head held high and chest out.

"How's the house hunting going?"

Liu Zheng sat down and asked.

"I've read it all, but we still need to wait for you, boss, to make the decision."

Niu Daji quickly replied.

"Ah."

He nodded approvingly.

Putting aside everything else, Niu Daji really does this well; he knows how to properly position himself.

"Tell me, which one do you like?"

Liu Zheng said.

As long as Niu Daji doesn't make decisions on his own, he doesn't mind buying a set that he likes.

"This is Mr. Niu's favorite set."

When the property manager saw the person in question arrive, he enthusiastically picked up the brochure and began to introduce it.

The house it refers to is a 65-square-meter apartment with two bedrooms, two living rooms, one kitchen, and one bathroom.

There are two bedrooms, one large and one small. However, the smaller bedroom has a balcony, and the layout seems to have been combined with the larger bedroom, so the actual usable area is about the same.

The overall decor is minimalist. Apart from the essential furniture, there are almost no additional decorations.

What's particularly unusual is that there's a bathtub in the toilet, making the already cramped toilet space even more insufficient.

In my memory, it seems that only Japanese people like to do this kind of thing in reality.

"Is 65 square meters enough to live in? If city people saw this, they would think we can't afford it."

"Listen to me, choose a bigger one, at least three bedrooms and two living rooms."

Liu Zheng closed the booklet and said.
