It's a hell game, who can still be a human being?

Chapter 725 The Secret of the Legendary Deliveryman Suit
Upon hearing what the white goose said, Liu Zheng subconsciously glanced at the ceiling.

"Don't worry, the restaurant can't hear you right now."

The white goose knew what he was worried about.

"As expected of the elder brother, he's really amazing."

Liu Zheng raised his large tentacles.

Even cattle and horses can't block the restaurant's senses, but the white goose can. Indeed, experience matters.

"It's not that I'm particularly good, it's just that the restaurant trusts me. The boss won't be the boss forever, but I'll always be a retired employee of the customer service department."

The big white goose shook its head.

"So what exactly do you want me to agree to?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Don't follow Li's old path."

Li is a legendary food deliveryman.

"I have no idea what the legendary deliveryman did."

He shrugged.

"What he did was similar to what the Butcher of Paradise did, except that what he wanted to do was bigger and more thorough."

"That's what the big white goose said."

"He wants to shut down the restaurant?"

Liu Zheng guessed.

"Yes."

The white goose replied.

"Why? With his abilities, even restaurants shouldn't be able to exploit him, and delivering takeout is a piece of cake for him. As long as he doesn't provoke the city hall, he's freer than those outsiders."

He raised the question.

Even cows and horses can go out at night when they don't have any orders, so the legendary delivery riders should have even higher privileges.

As for reasons like overthrowing restaurant tyranny and ending mandatory delivery, based on Liu Zheng's current understanding of the legendary deliveryman, the latter clearly doesn't have such noble sentiments.

"I do not know either."

The big white goose shook its head.

"Among all the people in the Bloody Restaurant, I am probably the one who understands Li the most, but many times I don't know what he is thinking."

"His talent is too high, his growth is too fast, and his luck is too strong. Even in a place like the Bloody Restaurant, he has never suffered much hardship."

"Therefore, his personality has remained the same as when he first came to the restaurant: willful, irritable, arrogant, and impatient."

"In short, he is a powerful giant baby. While he can't be called evil, he is definitely not likable."

Its gaze passed through Liu Zheng, seemingly looking towards that figure who stood out from everything around him.

"Then why are you on good terms with him?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"When I first came here, I was still my true self. The customer service department thought I was ugly, and the delivery department thought I was weak, so in the end they could only assign me to the kitchen."

"One night, Li came to the kitchen looking for something to eat, and he insisted on having braised goose in an iron pot. Fortunately, there was no goose among the ingredients that day, so the head chef told him to eat something else."

“He refused, so the head chef pointed at me and said, ‘No, you can eat it then, it’s useless anyway.’”

"After hearing this, I was so angry that I ate a whole jar of 'concentrated stinky mud sauce' and yelled, 'Come on, if you don't mind the smell, then eat me!'"

"Oh, by the way, 'Concentrated Stinky Mud Sauce' is a condiment made from river mud from sewers and sewage from garbage treatment plants. One drop can make an entire street stink for a whole day."

"That's what the big white goose is all about," the introduction continued.

"Holy crap, that stinks! What kind of dish needs a sauce like that? The other dishes must be inedible!"

he complained.

"This naturally requires a special cooking method. Okay, let's get back to the main topic."

"When Li saw that I looked like this, he stopped eating. But he didn't let me off the hook. Instead, he had the head chef clean me up and tell me to wait until I stopped smelling bad before eating me."

"But after I stopped smelling bad, he didn't want to eat goose anymore, so I escaped a disaster."

"When I ran into him again, he asked me to borrow money. I was afraid he would try to take advantage of me again, so I lent him all the money."

"Later he returned the money to me and brought me a big worm, saying it was interest."

"Later on, he would always ask me to borrow money or ask me to cook something for him, and that's how we became close inexplicably."

The white goose finally finished speaking.

"It sounds pretty youthful."

Liu Zheng commented.

The plot has a humorous and inspirational comic feel to it, but the world-building is a bit dark.

"Yes, youth. For a goose, that spanned almost my entire childhood and adulthood."

"The big white goose sighed."

"Since you two are such good friends, why didn't you ask him to help you kill the black swan?"

he asked.

“I told him, and he refused without hesitation.”

The white goose smiled helplessly.

"As I said, he is a very willful person, and I am not his friend, just an acquaintance."

"Hmm, I think I can understand that."

Liu Zheng nodded.

For a prodigy like the legendary food delivery driver, everyone else is probably inferior to him.

Don't be fooled by the fact that he leaves things everywhere to pay off his debts, making him seem like he has a good temper. To him, it's just a game, and he can be just as unreasonable when he doesn't want to play anymore.

However, Ghost Hand seems to have a decent personality so far. It's unclear whether it changed its personality after dying once or if it's not a true legendary deliveryman.

So what is your answer?

Now, let's get back to the main topic.

“I never intended to shut down the restaurant. As long as the restaurant doesn’t harm me or my friends, I can be a good employee.”

Liu Zheng replied.

He's not like that legendary deliveryman who's so capricious, ready to fight anyone he doesn't like.

Based on what Liu Zheng had seen and heard during his time in the instance, he couldn't think of any other government besides the City Hall that could control the monsters and demons in the metropolis.

The city hall's tolerance of these landmarks must be because they are beneficial to the metropolis.

Since that's the case, he doesn't intend to be the one to smash the window.

"Ah."

The white goose nodded without saying a word, but its expression suggested it wasn't entirely satisfied.

"By the way, this is for you."

It took a cosplay outfit out of its suitcase.

Compared to normal cosplay outfits, this one is slightly whitish in color.

Name: Expired Bloody Restaurant Cosplay Costume (Disposable)

Type: Item

Quality: Excellent

"Effect: By dressing up in the cosplay costume and wearing it, you can temporarily gain the abilities of the cosplayer (limited to characters currently in the instance). The effect depends on the cosplay effect. Duration is ten minutes."

"Note: For many guests, ten minutes is more than enough."

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

"Thank you, big brother."

Liu Zheng said with delight.

Not only for the guests, but for him, ten minutes can also solve many problems.

"and this."

The white goose then took out an empty syringe.

“This was a gift from a customer a long time ago. I don’t need it, but it might be useful to you.”

it said.

Liu Zheng took the empty syringe, and the product description immediately popped up.

Name: Blood Vein Extractor (Unused)

Type: Item

Quality: Excellent

"Effect: When used on a target, there is a 50% chance to extract and store their bloodline power."

"Note: Your bloodline is good, you're mine now."

"Can it be taken out of the instance: Yes"

"this thing."

Liu Zheng fell into deep thought.

Previously, the system warned that items that could obtain bloodlines would cause conflicts, indicating that the Black Goat Cub bloodline was a cursed lone star, and other bloodlines didn't like to associate with it.

Although the system didn't provide any notification about this bloodline extractor, it should be the same.

In other words, he can only give this item to someone else.

In terms of bloodline, Liu Zheng's own bloodline is undoubtedly the strongest among those around him. The ability of "flesh and blood regeneration" can produce a 1+1>2 effect no matter which power system it is combined with.

For example, if Doctor Nile were to gain the ability of "flesh and blood regeneration," he might be able to turn back into a human.

Of course, the bloodline of such an evil god and the power of a righteous god like Ra will most likely clash.

Therefore, this item is best given to people who do not have bloodline power or whose bloodline power is weak enough to be compatible with the bloodline of the Black Goat cub.

Niu Daji would be a good fit, as the greatest benefit of its bloodline power is that it can use the ancestral armor.

Now, with its thick skin, great strength, and "regeneration of flesh and blood," it is a combination of warrior, tank, and warrior, capable of fighting, resisting, and self-healing.

Although Liu Zheng had already planned its use, he was in no hurry to use it and instead stored it in the system space.

"Um, brother, I have a favor to ask."

He scratched his head and said.

"You said."

"Could you please give me the black swan's carcass?"

Liu Zheng said embarrassedly.

"I've already eaten it, how can I give it back to you? Besides, what do you want its corpse for?"

The white goose asked in confusion.

Did this kid want to eat goose after hearing its story with Li?

"Well, it's like this. I have a professor friend who studies mythical creatures. He's very interested in the Ugly Duckling species, and I promised to send him the black swan's carcass for his research."

Liu Zheng said.

"Then you didn't tell me earlier."

"Who would dare to speak when you look like that? What if you just casually eat me too?"

He said, feeling wronged.

"The body is gone, Yue!"

The white goose struggled to spit out a section of its intestines.

"Here's a piece of goose intestine. Take it."

"Your digestive ability is nothing like that of a retired person."

Liu Zheng squinted and said.

"This is my flesh and blood, so what's wrong with digesting it quickly? Do you want it or not? If not, I'll eat it back."

"That's what the big white goose said."

"It's better to have something than nothing."

He put the goose intestines into the broken mandarin duck pouch.

"Well, never mind, I'll give this to you too."

After thinking for a moment, the big white goose took out a woman's leather belt from the box.

Name: Seven-Horse Belt

Type: Equipment

Quality: Excellent

"Effect 1: Slightly increases the player's charm when equipped."

"Effect 2: It can be used as a weapon. When the target is male or the player's offspring, the target must make a will check when attacked. If the check is not passed, the target will temporarily lose the will to resist."

"Note: When the mother saw that her son was still alive, she took out seven bolts of silk. If the husband dared to say anything, he would die along with his son."

"Can it be taken out of the instance: Yes"

"nice one."

Liu Zhengmei happily fastened his belt.

He wore equipment with control effects, including women's belts and even women's thongs.

"Okay, that's it for today."

The white goose closed the suitcase.

"Here's one last piece of advice."

it said.

"You say."

"If you don't want to end up like Li, don't rely too much on the Legendary Deliveryman Set. It was originally a reward from the restaurant."

After saying this, the white goose left without looking back.

"I see, I knew it."

If that's the case, then everything makes sense.

Why is the Legendary Deliveryman Set so overpowered and so specifically designed?
Why would a restaurant allow such exploitative practices as using legendary delivery boxes to copy food items?

Because the Legendary Deliveryman Set was originally made by the restaurant.

No one can resist the temptation of becoming stronger quickly and without side effects. The legendary deliveryman couldn't, and neither could he. This is a perfectly legitimate and aboveboard strategy.

However, this was not a big problem for Liu Zheng, as he had never intended to go against the restaurant.

Moreover, while the legendary deliveryman took decades, he only took a little over ten days.

Liu Zheng closed the door and returned to his small stool.

What did Ottawa tell you?

The ox and the horse asked.

"We chatted about some stories with legendary delivery drivers, and then he advised me to be loyal to the restaurant and to pay attention to self-improvement and not to rely too much on external things."

He organized his thoughts.

"Tch, do you even need to say that? Just because he's been there a little longer doesn't mean he can boss around other people's underlings."

The ox and horse pursed their lips.

"I just listened casually; it didn't really register with me. In my heart, only your teachings, sir, are truly wise words."

Liu Zheng said with a serious expression.

"Good to know. Alright, go do your thing, I'm going to sleep."

The cattle and horses lay down contentedly, and a few seconds later they began to snore.

He smiled and took out the game console.

After playing the game for a while, he gradually felt sleepy and naturally drifted off to sleep.

When Liu Zheng woke up, it was already the morning of the next day.

That is, his twelfth day in the metropolis.

"Boss, I would have woken up if you had just called me. There was no need to make such a fuss."

Liu Zheng picked up the glass jar from the ground and complained.

Who can stand a can thrown in like that first thing in the morning?

"You'll wake up my ass! I called you three times and you still didn't wake up."

The ox and horse rolled their eyes.

Am I sleeping that soundly?

He couldn't believe it.

"Who knows what you were dreaming about. Hurry up and bring me my breakfast."

He said in a loud and boisterous manner.

"It was clearly my breakfast."

Liu Zheng pursed his lips and took out his employee meal from the cabinet.

Fortunately, today's breakfast was also pretty ordinary: a plate of some kind of plant paste, a piece of meat that was scalded from being roasted, and a cup of sticky-looking drink.

"Here."

He placed the staff meals in front of the cattle and horses.

"Oh right, I forgot to ask the novelist and Deer Boy how they are doing."

Liu Zheng suddenly had an idea.

He glanced at the time; it was 8:10 a.m.

It's a bit early, but you can still make a call.

After thinking for a moment, he called the red-crowned crane first.

"Good morning, Mr. Liu. What can I do for you?"

The red-crowned crane asked respectfully.

"I didn't give any instructions, I just wanted to ask how Lu Tong was doing."

Liu Zheng said.

"He has turned back into a white deer."

The red-crowned crane replied.

"Can I turn back into human form?"

“Under normal circumstances, it shouldn’t be possible, unless he cultivates like a monster to become human, but that would take at least several hundred years, and I’m afraid I won’t live to see that time.”

The red-crowned crane said sadly.
