The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?!-Chapter 1215 - 756: Gathering the Essence of the Five Landmarks

Chapter 1215: Chapter 756: Gathering the Essence of the Five Landmarks

"How much higher is that than the original price?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"About twenty times."

The Dwarf replied, not very confidently.

"Then I guess I’ll buy it myself."

He rolled his eyes.

If it was eight or nine times more expensive, Liu Zheng would let the Dwarf handle it to save some time and effort.

But twenty times more? He’d better do it himself.

"Whatever, as long as I get the Silver Gemstone. I don’t care about the rest."

The Dwarf shrugged.

"I feel like you’re quite adept at dealing with us. Have you encountered us before?"

With the deal settled, Liu Zheng asked with interest.

The Dwarf was very efficient, not giving him a chance to ambush, yet measured in the approach, leaving space for negotiation between both parties.

"I haven’t, but my teacher has. He taught me."

The Dwarf replied.

"Ah~ As they say, having an elder at home is like having treasure."

Liu Zheng remarked with emotion.

In this perilous Metropolis, having a guide is like having countless lives.

He managed to survive until now, thanks to the guidance of Niu Ma and the others.

"By the way, do you Dwarves have a type of ore called Aken Gemstone?"

He remembered and asked.

"Yeah, that’s the most precious treasure of the Dwarf Clan. Whoever possesses an Aken Gemstone has the priority in choosing a mate."

The Dwarf said.

"Can you get an Aken Gemstone? I’d buy it at a high price."

Liu Zheng said.

Currently, there’s still no news of the undersea volcanic mud, so using an Aken Gemstone as compensation would do.

"Aken Gemstones are essentially not for sale, only parted with in desperate times."

The Dwarf shook his head.

"Are miniatures also not for sale?"

"How did you know there are miniature Aken Gemstones?"

The Dwarf asked in surprise.

There were a few who knew about Aken Gemstones, but those who knew about their types besides the Dwarf Clan were rare.

"I got a piece from an auction before."

Liu Zheng replied.

"Wow, can you sell it to me? I can take delivery right away!"

The Dwarf said excitedly.

"I’ve already sold it to someone else, it’s probably been consumed by now."

He shrugged.

"That’s truly a pity. Even miniature Aken Gemstones are hard to find a buyer for, but I can keep an eye out for you."

The Dwarf said.

"Alright, if the deal goes through, I can give you a 30% commission."

Liu Zheng said.

"You are a generous Human."

The Dwarf genuinely praised.

"Everyone who’s dealt with me knows that. Alright, sign for the delivery."

He took out the delivery note.

"By the way, since you’re here, would you like to check out my workshop? I’ve created many interesting pieces recently."

The Dwarf signed for the delivery cheerfully and then offered.

He had just started his own business, and it was in its early stages. He couldn’t let such a clear big client slip away.

"Sure."

Liu Zheng had no objections.

He did have many Extraordinary Items, but he used them quickly.

And since there was the Fun Blind Box House to collect junk, more Extraordinary Items were always welcome.

However, before he finished talking, he felt a chill down his spine.

Even the always discontent Artificial Body felt a hint of undisclosed fear.

"Looks like it’ll have to wait till next time. Goodbye, Master Yan Xu, don’t you die now."

Liu Zheng said his goodbyes to the now dazed Yan Xu, then drove away from Metallurgical Street. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

He didn’t return directly to the restaurant but went to Unlucky Coffee first.

This time, everyone had put in a lot of effort and giving money wouldn’t be suitable, he had nothing else to give, so he decided to buy some drinks and sweets from Unlucky Coffee to show his appreciation, and besides, only he could put on a brave face for this.

Upon entering Unlucky Coffee, the staff were the same as ever.

Seeing Liu Zheng, they froze for a moment, then a blood-screen appeared.

"Human, where’s your body?"

The manager’s face protruded from the blood-screen.

"You tread the world, injuries are inevitable?"

Liu Zheng didn’t explain much.

"Where’s the deer heart you promised me?"

The manager didn’t probe further.

"It’s being taken care of. But it’s a commission from the sewer, it’s not easy to complete you know."

He responded evasively.

"Hmph, you’d better not think about swallowing it, otherwise you’ll never step into Unlucky Coffee’s doors again."

The manager warned.

"My reputation, you can rest assured a thousand times."

Liu Zheng reassured.

A shop shares one heart, he recalled the manager mentioning Unlucky Coffee had over five thousand hearts.

"One can never rest assured until the item is in hand."

The manager said before preparing to leave.

"Don’t rush off, we are old acquaintances after all. I brought something good for you."

Liu Zheng took out a bottle of Silver Label and placed it on the counter.

"Just a Silver Label, I’ve got plenty in my cellar."

The manager scoffed.

After all, as the manager of a famous chain of coffee shops, he could afford Du Kang Wine Workshop’s liquor.

"But a Silver Label delivered by a Bloody Restaurant courier is rare, isn’t it? And I’ll even sign it for you."

He picked up the Silver Label and signed his name on the packaging paper.

To be honest, Liu Zheng’s handwriting wasn’t much, he lost points for it back in school essays.

However, the two characters "Liu Zheng" he had specifically practiced, bearing some style of the "Two Kings."

"With this bottle of wine, I’m telling you, it’ll be worth more than a Golden Label someday."

He boasted shamelessly.

"Heh."

The manager chuckled mockingly, then extended a bloody hand to drag the Silver Label into the blood-screen.

"Get him a Black Deer Card."

With that, the blood-screen returned inside the heart.
