The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?!-Chapter 1159 - 726: Pro Edition Cosplay Outfit

"Boss, the cemetery sent a horse to pick me up."

Entering the lounge, Liu Zheng said to Niu Ma.

"Oh. Let me call the boss."

Niu Ma took out his phone.

"By the way, I just took my cosplay medicine. Your father’s strength helped me out a bit."

He said.

"... Is it strong?"

Niu Ma paused from pressing the buttons.

"Very strong."

Liu Zheng said seriously.

As powerful as Niu Ma’s strength, but with a special precision.

Instead of destruction, Champion Bull seems to prefer suppression.

"Hmm, like me."

Niu Ma nodded and then dialed the phone.

"Boss, the cemetery people came for Liu Zheng. Yes, I’ll send him over right away."

Niu Ma hung up the call, nodding towards Liu Zheng with his chin.

"The boss wants you to go."

"Okay."

He nodded and then left the lounge.

He took the elevator to Si Xue’s office, where today’s theme was the primeval forest.

But not the Amazon’s tropical rainforest in reality, more like the cold temperate coniferous forests of Canada.

Towering spruces blocked the cave ceiling, and the gray-red ground was almost devoid of weeds and shrubs, hosting only mosses and lichens that thrived in barren soil.

Si Xue sat on a thin branch of a spruce tree, carefully peeling a pinecone.

Today, she was dressed in a JK outfit, her bare legs swinging, riskily like the wobbly branch she sat on.

Liu Zheng dared not call out loudly, only waved from afar.

Thankfully, Si Xue noticed him.

"Did your vocal cords get stuck in the lounge? Why are you doing sign language?"

She said coolly.

"I’m afraid I’d frighten you, and you might fall off the tree."

Liu Zheng honestly replied.

"When did you become so humorous? Or do you misunderstand me?"

Si Xue was a bit speechless.

The boss of the Bloody Restaurant falling off a tree—it’s a joke even ten pints of fake sewer booze can’t concoct.

"Maybe because you look like a girl, I sometimes instinctively want to protect you."

He scratched his head and said.

"You better protect yourself first."

Si Xue made a grasping motion, drawing him onto the branch with strong suction.

"Hold on tight, no falling off, and no climbing up either."

She commanded.

"Oh."

With a bitter face, Liu Zheng clung to the tree trunk three people thick, fortunately wide-eyed enough to hold on securely.

"Ready for tomb-raiding?"

Si Xue asked.

"The Tomb Guardian asked me to prepare some ’meat.’ I got a ’meat bone,’ but that’s about it."

"This time, you’re on official business. You can apply for an item. What do you want?"

Si Xue asked.

"I’ll listen to you, boss."

Liu Zheng craftily replied.

"I’ve never raided a tomb either. Decide for yourself."

Si Xue said.

"Can I get something of Perfect Quality or above?"

He asked.

"If you die on official business, I might consider providing a Perfect Quality piece of trash for your burial."

Si Xue said expressionlessly.

"Really? No joking, boss."

Liu Zheng exclaimed with delight.

Dying is still dying, but getting a free Perfect item is a joyous perk.

"Yes, but you won’t receive your official business allowance."

Si Xue said.

"Then I’ll take the allowance. I want a cosplay outfit."

He thought for a moment and said.

Among all excellent quality items, cosplay outfits stand out as powerfully as Perfect items.

"Alright."

Si Xue had a look that said, "I knew you’d pick that."

She casually inserted her fingers into the tree trunk, uprooting the entire spruce to hover in mid-air.

The deep pit quickly filled with groundwater, from which the Lake God emerged, formed.

"What do you want this time?"

He asked with a disgruntled look.

As a distinguished guest at the Bloody Restaurant, he held a much higher status than the staff, allowing him to occasionally be aloof.

"The newbie’s on official business. Bring out that cosplay outfit."

Si Xue said.

"No way. I’ve nurtured that cosplay outfit close to completion. In a bit, it could evolve to Perfect Quality. Handing it over now would ruin everything."

The Lake God outright refused.

"You might not even need it. If unused, it’ll come back to you."

"Still no good. Away from the Spirit Treasure Lake, the cosplay outfit’s spirituality will quickly deplete, making me spend more effort later."

The Lake God remained unwilling.

"Stop nagging, so much babbling. This is an official business, not me personally hitting you up. If you don’t cooperate, I’ll have the newbie dive in himself. By then, you’ll be losing more than just a cosplay outfit."

Si Xue threatened.

"Him?"

The Lake God glanced at Liu Zheng, showing disdain.

"Last time, if it weren’t for you helping him secretly, those two cats would’ve toyed him to death. This time, without your help, I bet he can’t fish up anything..."

His words cut off, noticing Liu Zheng pulling items out one by one.

Three in total: a Spirit Realm Gold Coin Bag, a Third-rank Golden Lotus Seed of Fortune, and a temporarily reinforced Dragon Fishing Pole.

"Boss, if I fish up something Legendary or better, you won’t blame me, right?"

Liu Zheng said leisurely.

"Go ahead and fish. Even if you catch a Mythical item, it’s fine."

Si Xue sneered.

Using Spirit Realm Creatures as bait, a Golden Lotus Seed of Fortune as ground bait, and a Dragon Fishing Pole, catching a Mythical item is unlikely, but snagging a Legendary item is quite possible.

"Alrighty~"

He replied, holding the Spirit Realm Gold Coin Bag, ready to spend all the coins within.

"Wait a second!"

The Lake God shouted, cold sweat freezing on his forehead.

"Spit it out."

Si Xue said coldly.
