The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?!-Chapter 1160 - 726: Pro Edition Cosplay Outfit_2

"Alright, I give up. You can have the cosplay costume, okay? You two are real bandits."

The Lake God grumbled and then sank back into the water.

After a short while, he emerged again with a cosplay costume in his hands.

This cosplay costume was different from a regular one. Its surface glistened with a watery sheen, and inside, there were faint signs of developing blood vessels, tendons, and internal organs.

"Once its flesh and blood are complete, and it grows bones and a brain, it can become a real living being. By then, it can imitate anyone it has ever seen and replicate their everything. Sigh, using it just like this is truly a waste of nature’s gift."

The Lake God stroked the cosplay costume, saying reluctantly.

"Come on, to reach that stage, you’d need to nurture it for at least another hundred to two hundred years. By then, who knows if I’ll still be here or not?"

"Also, a fake will always be a fake. To experts like us, it’s still just a toy."

Si Xue ruthlessly uncovered the truth.

"You have no idea. The joy of nurturing treasures isn’t about their eventual usefulness, but in their constant evolution and the insights into the wonders of the world gained during this process."

The Lake God said solemnly.

"Our paths are different, so of course, I wouldn’t understand, nor do I care to. Anyway, we’re all in the same pot now. I won’t bully you, and you don’t mess with my business, that’s it."

Si Xue said casually.

"Fine, that’s it then."

The Lake God handed the cosplay costume to Liu Zheng and then sank back down with the lake water.

"Name: Evolving Bloody Restaurant Special Cosplay Costume (One-time Use)"

"Type: Prop"

"Quality: Excellent"

"Effect: Molding the cosplay costume into a corresponding character and wearing it temporarily grants the abilities of the cosplay target (limited to characters existing in the current instance). Effect depends on the cosplay result. Lasts for one hour."

"Note: The cosplay costume nurtured for many years in the Spirit Treasure Lake offers a deeper and more intrinsic imitation compared to regular cosplay costumes."

"Can it be taken out of the instance: No"

"Uh, boss, I have a small request."

Liu Zheng asked bashfully, holding the cosplay costume.

"Give up, I won’t let you cosplay me."

Si Xue said without needing to be asked what he was thinking.

"Would it cause you any harm?"

He inquired.

"No, just think it’s disgusting."

Si Xue replied disdainfully.

"Alright then..."

The boss doesn’t want to oblige, and he has no choice.

Liu Zheng also didn’t dare to do it secretly. After all, there’s a connection between the cosplay costume and the cosplayed target. He didn’t dare to gamble on Si Xue getting angry.

"Then, boss, can you help me order delivery again?"

He asked for the next best thing.

"Sure."

Si Xue nodded.

"Thank you, boss."

"The restaurant has provided you with so many conveniences. If you don’t complete the task this time, you should know the consequences."

Si Xue said.

"I understand."

Liu Zheng understood that Si Xue wasn’t talking about grave robbery, but the Nine Dragons Coffin.

Even if he succeeded in the grave robbery this time, if he didn’t find the Nine Dragons Coffin, the task would still be incomplete.

The restaurant and Si Xue have invested a lot of resources into this matter. If he doesn’t complete the task, it’s equivalent to offending both the boss and the vice boss, and the result would definitely be ugly.

However, Liu Zheng wasn’t too worried about it.

Not because he could run away and cash out, but because he had already completed half of the Nine Dragons Coffin task in advance.

The Beiyin Heaven Repairing Coffin is naturally better than the unknown coffin, and he just needs to find nine dead dragons to replace the Nine Dragons lifting the coffin.

Of course, utilizing the grave robbery to complete the task is best.

After all, nine dragon corpses, even if purchasable, would definitely cost a fortune.

"Go ahead."

Si Xue lowered her head, continuing to peel pine nuts.

"Uh, boss, I have something else to say."

Liu Zheng walked a few steps, but in the end, couldn’t help but turn back.

"Spit it out."

Si Xue said without lifting her head.

"These pine nuts are very small, they’re not edible."

"Get lost."

Si Xue kicked him like a ball from a distance, rolling him straight into the elevator.

"Sigh, it’s true that honest words grate the ears."

Liu Zheng got up and sighed.

The boss’s refusal to take advice is worrisome for the restaurant’s future.

Well, if the restaurant has its own ideas, then there’s no problem.

The elevator doors opened, and he returned to the lounge.

"Did you just roll around a garbage heap?"

Niu Ma looked at him, commenting.

"The boss gave me a kick."

Liu Zheng brushed off the random debris from his clothes.

"Did you mess around again? You’re lucky to have met the current boss. If it were the last one, ten lives wouldn’t be enough for your shenanigans."

Niu Ma commented sarcastically.

"Hey, aren’t you afraid of being punished by the boss for saying that?"

He replied cautiously.

"No worries, the boss likes hearing things like that."

Niu Ma waved a hoof.

Having been the head of the delivery department for years, although this kid is a favorite of the boss, his understanding of the boss is far from matching its own.

Si Xue is essentially a strict performance-based person. The better you do your work, the more tolerant she is of you.

Unless you violate her taboos or directly oppose her, many times you can subtly grumble a little and she’d ignore it.

On the other hand, the former boss valued authority a lot. No matter how well you did your work, if he felt you challenged his authority, he would undoubtedly punish you, often very harshly.

So, in the event where Si Xue dethroned the former boss to take her current position, the restaurant staff cannot say they didn’t contribute.

While they were chatting, Ghost Hand crawled in from outside.

It put down an order slip and then prepared to crawl away.

Liu Zheng opened his mouth but still didn’t stop it.

Ghost Hand’s origins were unclear. It was better not to bother it for help unless necessary.

He picked up the order slip and looked at its contents.

"Dish: Steamed Peacock Meat"

"Address: Bloody Restaurant"

"Ordered by: Si Xue"

"Time Limit: Three hours"

"Steamed peacock meat, could it be delicious?"

Liu Zheng couldn’t help but comment.

However, Si Xue probably won’t eat it. She’s just looking for an excuse to kill a peacock for fun.

Taking out the evolving cosplay costume, he thought for a moment and called Big White Goose.

"What kind of help do you need?"

Since avenging his deep-seated grudge, Big White Goose’s tone was no longer so sarcastic.

"I’d like your help in crafting the cosplay costume."

Liu Zheng said.

"Alright, I’ll come right over."

Big White Goose responded promptly.

A few minutes later, it appeared at the door of the lounge.

With Niu Ma’s permission, it walked into the lounge.

"It seems your cosplay costume is a bit different from ordinary ones."

Big White Goose said, looking at the costume in Liu Zheng’s arms.

"As expected of the honorary lifetime minister of the customer service department, elder brother’s keen eyes are truly insightful."

Liu Zheng praised with a big tentacle and then continued.

"This was specially approved by the restaurant for my official duty."

He emphasized the words "official duty" and "restaurant".

"No wonder. Since that’s the case, I must go all out."

Big White Goose squinted his eyes.

They’re all smart people; it naturally understood Liu Zheng’s meaning.

It already owed Liu Zheng a favor. There was no need for him to pressure it with the restaurant.

Thus, Liu Zheng was giving it a legitimate reason to use the restaurant’s resources.

"Are you sure you want to cosplay Niu Ma?"

Big White Goose pondered and asked.

"Not necessarily. Do you have any suggestions, elder brother?"

"Since you have ’Anger’ in hand, naturally, cosplaying Napoleon would be better. The culinary knife in the chef’s hands can unleash unimaginable power."

Big White Goose stated.

"Alright. Elder, please help me invite Minister Napoleon over then."

Liu Zheng accepted the advice and looked at Niu Ma.

"You tell him yourself."

Niu Ma dialed the number and then directly tossed the phone to him.

"What’s up?"

Napoleon’s voice echoed alongside the sound of chopping.

"Master Chef, I need to go on official duty. Please come over to craft a cosplay costume. Elder brother Ottawa is here too."

Liu Zheng got straight to the point.

"Ten minutes."

Napoleon replied.

"Alright, I’ll be waiting for you in the lounge."

He replied courteously.
