The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?!-Chapter 1205 - 749: Liu Zheng: You Dare Use My Moves Against Me

Chapter 1205: Chapter 749: Liu Zheng: You Dare Use My Moves Against Me

"Ah, no, I was just saying."

Liu Zheng said awkwardly.

"Stay away from my wife, delivery guy. I’ve killed one before, don’t mind killing another."

The humanoid said coldly.

"Is there no room for negotiation?"

He asked.

"None. Anyone who threatens my wife has only one path—death."

As he spoke, the outline of the humanoid became clearer.

It was unclear whether he was trying to materialize from the humanoid or if his true form was approaching.

"What if I let you sign for it?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"My life is as important as my wife’s."

The humanoid said without hesitation.

Without his protection, his wife couldn’t survive in Metropolis.

"With your strength, signing for a delivery shouldn’t kill you."

Liu Zheng said.

Based on his experience, the strength of Metropolis residents manifests in strange ways.

Even if such strength isn’t great, it surely isn’t weak, especially since he had killed a delivery guy before.

"I don’t think so."

After the humanoid spoke, it suddenly collapsed into scattered red dots, returning to the maple leaf.

Liu Zheng quickly turned back, responding with a punch.

The fists collided, causing the air to ripple like waves.

He did not retreat but used the incoming Fist Power to pivot in place, then lifted his right leg like a whip toward the man’s waist.

The man in a tailored suit with gold-rimmed glasses frowned, retreating swiftly like leaves blown by a fan.

"Thinking you can escape after an ambush? No chance."

Liu Zheng’s kick missed, and he stomped down.

With the powerful propulsion from "Lion’s Wheel," he pursued the man like a meteor chasing the moon.

"The weakness of flesh, the ascension of machinery, does not deceive me."

Liu Zheng was secretly amazed himself.

With percentage-based enhancements, the prowess of an Artificial Body was even more apparent.

The long-awaited fight thrilled Extreme Fury Asura, as the patterns on its body began to glow red.

"Want to battle out your thrills? Then come on."

Since the fight had started, he no longer suppressed the agitation of the Artificial Body, letting Extreme Fury Asura’s consciousness take over part of his body.

"Hahaha!"

Liu Zheng laughed aloud, as the patterns on his body swelled like muscles.

He then leaped up, raising his right foot high like a battle axe toward the man’s head.

The patterns on his leg spewed out flaming waves, pressing down on the man like fiery clouds.

Compared to chef knife’s fury, Extreme Fury Asura’s "anger" was more violent and suited for combat.

"This delivery guy is strong!"

Feeling the flames trying to burn everything away, the man with glasses felt a chill in his heart.

Sharing senses with the maple tree, he had actually seen Liu Zheng from the start.

His delay in appearing was due to recognizing Liu Zheng’s extraordinary strength and using the woman’s stalling to buy time for his true form to arrive.

Yet, despite high estimates, Liu Zheng’s prowess exceeded his imagination.

"Could this be the true strength of a Bloody Restaurant delivery guy?"

He had considered the possibility of facing another delivery, but having easily disposed of the last one, he thought little of the Bloody Restaurant’s threat, believing it was nothing significant.

"Should have moved to the countryside."

The man regretted his underestimation.

But alas, even in Metropolis, regrets are beyond his reach.

He crossed his arms over his head, aiming his elbows at Liu Zheng’s ankle like spearmen confronting cavalry.

"Boom!"

A dull thud, and the man’s feet sank into the ground.

Being flesh himself, he neither had "flesh mutations" to dampen pain nor Artificial Body structures to buffer the impact, his bones emitted strange noises.

One more foot and he’ll likely fracture.

Yet immediately, the heaviness on the man’s face flashed by, replaced by composure of having a plan.

"Hmm?"

Liu Zheng noticed this and worried about trickery, instantly stepping on the man’s chest, using the force to flip in the air, landing meters away from him.

However, the man did not retaliate with Extraordinary Items or abilities as anticipated but pulled a simple phone from his suit pants pocket.

"Hello, Sanitation Department? I’d like to report someone damaging public roads."

He dialed quickly and spoke loudly.

"???"

Liu Zheng showed both confusion and shock.

Well, well, usually it’s him exploiting City Hall, but this time someone exploited City Hall against him.

Even though he knew someone in the Sanitation Department, they might not side with Black Skull, and with delivery time running short, negotiating with the department might make him late.

Helplessly, Liu Zheng withdrew "Anger" and chased after him.

The fury of the Artificial Body merged with that of the chef knife, turning into a white closer to the body’s pupils, the blade forged by new anger into a giant broad-backed saber.

The blade had many blood-colored verses inscribed, the hilt showing a face contorted in pain and rage.

He swung the saber, anger mixed with blade power shooting toward the man’s back.

The man shimmered, appearing beneath the maple, while his previous location became blanketed in maple leaves.

"My Beauty Maple allows at least ten transfers, can you catch me? I advise you to leave now, or when the City Hall people arrive, you won’t be able to get away."

The man said smugly.

He wasn’t like those brutes who only fought or fled when faced with situations, leveraging others was the most efficient method.

"Is that so? Then how many times can your house and wife transfer?"

Liu Zheng stowed "Anger," and took out the "Miniature Gustav Train Cannon."

Faced with that cannon model looking like a toy, the bespectacled man didn’t find it amusing at all; instead, his expression turned serious.

He had no doubt that this cannon could flatten the small building and courtyard together.

"Didn’t expect you to be such a despicable person."

The bespectacled man said coldly.

"You ran off to report to the authorities midway through a fight, how can you call me despicable?"

Liu Zheng squinted and said.

"You dare to use such a large-scale destructive weapon in broad daylight, aren’t you afraid of being hunted by the City Hall?"

The bespectacled man tried to use City Hall to suppress him.

"If I can’t deliver the food, I’ll die, so why would I be afraid of being hunted by City Hall? Besides, it’s only because you refused to accept the delivery that I had no choice but to take extreme measures; City Hall won’t intervene."

Liu Zheng said indifferently.

"What exactly do you want?"

The bespectacled man asked coldly.

"I’m just a food delivery person, what can I want, I just want you to sign for the delivery, that’s all."

He replied.

"Are you sure I won’t die if I sign for the delivery?"

The bespectacled man was somewhat shaken.

"Not sure, I’ve just seen many people sign for deliveries and not die, and your strength is even greater than many of them."

Liu Zheng said honestly.

"By the way, I just need to deliver to 138 Copper Gong Alley, so even if I flatten your house and kill both of you, I can still make the delivery."

He added.

"If I’m willing to sign for the delivery, what benefits can you give me?"

After a long silence, the bespectacled man asked.

"Just name your conditions, as long as they’re within reason, I can satisfy them. My reputation in Metropolis is impeccable."

Liu Zheng replied.

"I want a child."

The bespectacled man said.

"Huh? Aren’t there orphans all over Metropolis? Just pick a pleasing one and take it."

"No, I want a child of my own with Tuanzi, biological."

The bespectacled man emphasized.

"Understood. Is the problem with you or your wife?"

He asked.

"It’s my problem. To improve my strength, I chose to cultivate together with this Beauty Maple, but I didn’t expect this Beauty Maple to be a sterile tree."

The bespectacled man replied.

"Seems like infertility is indeed serious in Metropolis."

Liu Zheng reflected.

It’s not just the Immortal Species; even the more powerful short-lived ones like Niu Ma and the bespectacled man have difficulties conceiving, no wonder City Hall frequently brings in immigrants.

"If you can help me solve this problem, I will sign for the delivery."

The bespectacled man said.

"Is this Beauty Maple considered a mythic creature?"

He asked.

"I don’t know."

The bespectacled man was momentarily stunned and replied.

He’s not an expert, how would he know the definition of mythic creatures.

"Here’s the deal, I have a friend who’s a professor at City First University, researching in the mythic creatures field, I’ll ask him for you later. If he doesn’t know, I’ll ask him to check with someone researching botany; it should work."

Liu Zheng thought about it and said.

"A food delivery guy actually knows a professor from the university?"

The bespectacled man asked in surprise.

"Ignorance, huh? Ever heard of the concept of social networks? Theoretically, through six people, you can connect with anyone in Metropolis."

He lectured.

"Including the Supreme Councilman?"

The bespectacled man asked deliberately.

"Indeed, it does, and sometimes not even needing six people. Look at this? Infinite Heavenly Venerable!"

Liu Zheng took out the Supreme Councilman’s manuscript from the Qiankun Ring.

"What’s this?"

The bespectacled man asked.

"The Supreme Councilman’s manuscript."

"What?!"

The bespectacled man’s eyes widened.

"You and the Supreme Councilman..."

He cautiously probed.

"I should have little connection with that gentleman, of course, if he insists on a connection, I can’t stop it. This manuscript was a lottery scratch-off I won."

Liu Zheng shrugged.

"You are quite honest."

"I walk through Metropolis based on honesty and trustworthiness. Besides, with such tight delivery time, frank communication enhances efficiency."

He said.

"You make a good point. If I were to ask you to use this manuscript as collateral until you fulfill your promise to me, would you agree?"

The bespectacled man asked.

"Sure."

Liu Zheng agreed without hesitation.

This thing is temporarily useless to him, but he’s reluctant to trade it away, so using it as collateral isn’t a big problem.

"But do you really want it?"

He confirmed.
