The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?!-Chapter 1262 - 779: The Calico Cat Delivers Takeout (Part 2)

Chapter 1262: Chapter 779: The Calico Cat Delivers Takeout (Part 2)

"As long as it works, anyway, I don’t have so much stuff that a ring can’t fit."

Liu Zheng shrugged and said.

"You brat, pretending to be poor in front of me."

The Pond Master sneered.

Just as he was about to explain that’s not his intention, the Pond Master spoke again.

"Salmon, give him that item."

"Alright, meow."

San Huamao pulled out a rusty iron needle from its waist pouch.

"What does this mean?"

Liu Zheng was puzzled.

"I don’t believe in deep friendship, only in fair trade. If you take my item, you must promise to take care of Salmon within these 24 hours."

The Pond Master said.

"No problem, I promise you, these 24 hours I’ll definitely take care of Salmon, sharing blessings and shouldering difficulties for it."

He responded cheerfully.

"No way, we’re friends, blessings should be shared together, meow."

San Huamao said seriously.

"You little trickster."

Liu Zheng was touched at first, then couldn’t help but laugh, flicking its nose lightly.

Sharing blessings together but difficulties are all his, right?

As expected, the average Metropolis citizen is cunning and deceitful; even the cutest little gut turns dark when cut open.

He took the rusty iron needle, and the item description immediately popped up.

"Name: Rusted Straight Hook"

"Type: Equipment"

"Quality: Excellent"

"Effect One: When equipped, the player will suffer from tetanus, wound infection, septicemia, etc., which cannot be treated by ordinary means."

"Effect Two: When used, it will hook the target with the most hostility towards the player and transfer the player’s conditions to that target, ignoring some hidden abilities. The longer it’s equipped, the stronger the effect."

"Remark: Learn to take a hit before hitting someone; of course, learn to be caught before catching someone."

"Can be brought out of instance: Yes"

"Oh, boy."

Sacrifice a thousand to injure eight thousand, right?

Reasonably suspecting the Pond Master has ill intentions.

"What are you looking at, aren’t you a Black Mountain Goat Cub bloodline? Afraid of this little side effect?"

The Pond Master glared at him.

"Well, I don’t have a body now."

Liu Zheng replied.

"No body but you still have a head, right? Just hook the head."

The Pond Master said.

"That’s too ugly, isn’t it?"

"It’s just a fishhook, not asking you to wear a Dior on your forehead, what’s with the fuss?"

The Pond Master looked down upon him.

Younger generations these days are too sensitive; during his days on the streets, the things stuck to him were far uglier than this.

"Alright, alright, you’re right."

Liu Zheng didn’t bother arguing with him.

Thinking for a moment, he attached the straight hook to his earlobe, like an earring.

Soon, the skin around the hook visibly reddened, festered, and began to ooze pus.

Liu Zheng couldn’t help but scratch it, immediately scraping off a chunk of rotten flesh.

"Damn, this is intense."

He couldn’t help but exclaim.

Lucky he has "Blood and Flesh Rebirth," otherwise wearing an earring could be the end of him — embarrassing to even talk about it.

After instructing San Huamao on some details, Liu Zheng took it along to play video games.

To his surprise, San Huamao wasn’t interested in other games; instead, it was fond of nurturing games.

But thinking about it, it makes sense: San Huamao is a cat raised by a dog, while its dog mom was raised by a cat. If not a fan of nurturing, surely they couldn’t pull off such stunts.

After playing for a while, Ghost Hand crawled in through the door.

"Shh!"

Liu Zheng quickly gestured to San Huamao to remain silent.

San Huamao obediently covered its mouth.

While the Pond Master stared at Ghost Hand with a serious expression.

Ghost Hand also noticed the Pond Master, grinning for reasons unknown.

"Cough cough."

Just as the atmosphere grew increasingly tense, Liu Zheng positioned himself between the two.

Ghost Hand smirked, flicked a middle finger towards the Pond Master behind him, and then set down the takeout order before exiting.

"Hey, my temper! How dare he flip me off!"

Once it left, the Pond Master jumped in rage.

"Let it go, let it go, it’s just its nature. For my sake, don’t hold it against it."

Liu Zheng quickly appeased.

"If not for your sake, I’d have torn its mouth apart just now, and broken its fingers."

The Pond Master fiercely said.

"Yes, yes, you’re very generous."

He flattered.

Of course, he didn’t want the two to fight, but if they really did, he wasn’t betting on the Pond Master.

Ghost Hand dares defy Si Xue’s orders, and can snatch drinks from Niu Ma’s mouth, clearly stronger than the current state of the Pond Master.

As for the peak state of the two, well, you’ll only know if you fight.

"Hmph!"

The Pond Master felt embarrassed and decided to hide in the cat’s fur.

Liu Zheng chuckled helplessly and picked up the takeout order from the ground.

"Dish: Large portion of Blood Circulation and Beautifying Fruit Salad"

"Address: Tianxiang Country Beauty District, Building 2, Unit 702"

"Orderer: Zhou Xiaoyu"

"Time Limit: One hour"

"Beauty and complexion care..."

He glanced at the takeout order thoughtfully.

From the name, it seems the residents of Tianxiang Country Beauty District are likely all or mostly female, with a certain concern for appearance, and they should have decent economic conditions.

The dish is Blood Circulation and Beautifying Fruit Salad, indicating Zhou Xiaoyu, the customer, might have some appearance anxiety.

"If I could get some skincare products from Ottawa, this order would be easy to fulfill."

Liu Zheng thought to himself.

But after making the supreme version of the cosplay costume last time, I’ve used up my favors. Asking the Big White Goose for things again would mean I owe him a favor, and it’s not wise to owe favors to such a big brother.

"Hmm, it’s better to go to the Silk Cave and buy some textiles."

The Spider Clan’s textiles are also valuable, and buying things with money doesn’t incur any favors.

"Salmon, you handle this order."

He said to the San Huamao.

"Letting it handle the first order—is this what you mean by taking care of it?"

The Pond Master emerged again.

"Based on my assessment, this order is relatively easy. If I deliver it, then if the next order is very difficult, Salmon will have to deliver it."

"Therefore, the safest plan is to let Salmon handle the easy orders, and I’ll take on the hard ones when they come."

Liu Zheng explained.

"Hmm..."

The Pond Master, not being foolish, thought it over and had to admit he was right.

"Then I’m off, meow."

San Huamao said.

"Wait a minute."

Liu Zheng handed the Legendary Takeout Box to it.

"Take this to verify the meal first. After successful verification, return it to me."

He instructed.

"Alright, meow."

San Huamao left the lounge and knocked on the door again after a while.

"How did it go?"

Liu Zheng opened the door and asked.

"No problems, meow."

San Huamao returned the Legendary Takeout Box to him.

"That’s good, go ahead, be careful with everything."

Liu Zheng reminded.

"Don’t worry, I’m very capable, meow!"

San Huamao posed with its biceps flexed.

He smiled, watching San Huamao disappear down the takeout channel.

"Alas~"

Liu Zheng sighed.

As a mother worries when her child travels far, his mood was similar to a parent sending a child to the battlefield.

Especially since San Huamao was ordered to help deliver takeouts because he arranged a sick leave for Niu Ma for a day, which made him feel somewhat guilty.

However, San Huamao is inherently strong, and with the Pond Master providing backup, along with all the resources he offered, it should be fine.

That’s what he said, but Liu Zheng no longer felt like playing games and could only lie on the haystack staring at the ceiling.

After being dazed for a while, his phone rang.

Liu Zheng immediately sat up and looked at the phone screen.

What he saw made him anxious, then his eyebrows immediately furrowed.

Good news, it’s not San Huamao calling.

Uncertain if it’s good news, Detective Luo Ping called.

"..."

He pressed the answer button but didn’t speak.

"Mr. Liu, it’s Luo Ping."

Luo Ping’s voice sounded.

"I finally waited for your call."

Liu Zheng said.

"There were many spies in the hospital; I finally found a safe place."

Luo Ping replied.

"You worked hard. How are things now?"

He asked.

"Doing okay. I’ve made initial progress in investigating Bai Tianshi’s whereabouts."

Luo Ping said.

"No rush. Do you have enough time to talk?"

"Shouldn’t be a problem within half an hour."

Luo Ping hesitated for a moment and said.

"Then let me tell you about Morrison Primary School."

Liu Zheng said.
