Bizarre Survival: I Can Devour Thousands of Talents

Chapter 105, Section 104: The Temptation of Tips, the Irritable Customer

The benefits are right before our eyes.

While Ling Xiao was overjoyed, he hesitated to accept the gift for a moment.

He now understands the three basic rules for surviving in this city:

Citizenship comes with a job; personal rights come with citizenship; in the end, it's all about who has the strongest fist!

When he's delivering food, he's "invincible" in a sense.

As long as Ling Xiao's actions are "beneficial" to the work.

No matter how violent the actions, they will not attract the attention of Wang Taige and other official forces!

That's why he had the confidence to endure it no longer when he could no longer tolerate it!

When faced with a weirdo whose brain might have been excreted by his dog, there's no need to restrain yourself; just strike hard!

But what to do in this situation?

At first, Ling Xiao was determined to get his money back for the meal, but later he realized that the difference in price was his.

Now customers are offering tips, should I accept them or not?

Unlike the previous one where I was torn between taking action or not.

The saying goes, "You can't hit someone who's smiling."

Even though she's a charming catgirl now, shouldn't she be beaten up for her kind gesture of giving a tip?

But you could rashly accept it, in case you violate some unknown taboo...

Seeing the young man's troubled expression, the intelligent and perceptive catwoman quickly guessed the reason for his hesitation.

Taking back the extra blue chips for now, she chuckled and suggested, "Give me my food first!"

"Then call the restaurant again to confirm if they can accept my tip."

Ling Xiao nodded gratefully.

First, I carefully put away the red chip.

Then, I gently took the plate out of the delivery box and carried it over.

The catgirl's soft whispers brushed against him like a fluffy tail, making him feel all itchy inside.

"Hey handsome, I had a grudge against that bitch you just killed, that's why I'm giving you a tip!"

"Delivering food must be tough, right? Want to come in and sit down for a bit? My bed's pretty big..."

Ling Xiao had just dialed the number when he heard the catgirl's soft, sweet invitation.

My right foot lifted up as if by some strange impulse.

And it was this slight physical reaction that directly crossed the line of reason.

【Permanent Ice Heart】becomes ineffective when the profession is sealed.

But the [Status] is still in effect.

[Unwavering Will] greatly weakened the mysterious and intoxicating influence, which allowed Ling Xiao to regain his senses almost instantly!

Hey!

I almost got caught!

Strictly speaking, he has already been infected.

Ling Xiao is not completely immune to methods that affect the soul.

Even so, his timely and clear-headedness remains the greatest asset that has kept him alive to this day.

Even after arriving in this eerie city, it remains the same.

The catgirl leaned against the door, making way for the path to the living room.

It didn't speak again, but just smiled and looked at Lingxiao.

An unknown fragrance wafted in, both strange and familiar, and my body longed for a gentle embrace.

"Feed? Hello! This is Tingzhu Private Kitchen. May I ask...?"

The innocent voice of a child came through the receiver, just as Ling Xiao suddenly came to his senses.

He didn't reveal anything unusual, but simply moved further away from the door by carrying the delivery box on his back.

"Xiao Mo, this is Yellow. Can I accept tips from customers? Are there any requirements?"

The person on the other end of the line paused for a moment, then raised their voice to explain, "That's possible, but it'll have to be paid for along with the meal."

"Once the food and meal payment are completed, it's a matter between you and her to collect the money."

Payment settled...

Ling Xiao decisively took his leave, saying, "Well... since the food has been delivered, please enjoy your meal!"

"Hey! Wait a minute!"

The catgirl quickly called out to him, her eyes deep and her smile enigmatic, "Don't you want your money back?"

"The restaurant has a rule that we can't accept tips after a transaction, sorry!"

Despite knowing that the other party wanted to trick him, Ling Xiao still had to maintain a facade of civility.

After all, he has now become a deliveryman without food delivery, only having the identity, having lost the added bonus of his profession.

It has already slipped from its strongest state.

The enemy's strength is unknown, and my own buffs have disappeared.

It would be unwise to resort to violence again.

"Hey! Here, take it! Consider it payment for killing that dog!"

"Hey! This really won't work! This really won't work!"

Ling Xiao fled as if being chased by an elder who was trying to give him a red envelope.

However, his disheveled state was truly disheveled.

Fortunately, the catgirl only chased after him for a few steps before standing there and watching him go.

I glanced back at the corner of the stairwell.

That strange smile made Ling Xiao feel a sense of unease as he walked down the street.

The huge crater created by the impact had vanished along with the two corpses, which were as big as pieces of minced meat.

Ling Xiao carefully examined the entire route, but the bloodstains seemed to have never appeared.

I left the residential area without any hindrance.

The security guards, who had been laughing and joking in the guard booth, looked at him as if they had seen a ghost.

Not only did they hurriedly close the door in a flurry, but they also slammed the window shut with a "bang."

Nod and give them a smile.

The long-awaited midday heat, once a novelty, turned into torture.

Braving the sweltering heat, Ling Xiao returned to Tingzhu Private Kitchen.

Xiao Mo put the red chip worth one hundred desire points into the drawer.

Instead, two blue chips fell into Ling Xiao's pocket.

According to the unspoken rules, he could get forty.

But now that things are out in the open, we can only do things the way they should. The restaurant's rule is to split the remaining balance in half.

Just arrived.

Ling Xiao didn't have the spare change to pull any strings, nor was he that bold.

Twenty is pretty good too.

Niu and Ma will manipulate themselves.

"Wow! This deal must have been quite profitable, right?"

The turtle is flipping over in its shell, taking a nap with its eyes half-closed.

Sensing that Ling Xiao had returned safely once again, it couldn't help but ask, "How was it? This deal was pretty good, right? How much did you make?"

"Not much," Ling Xiao chuckled, "just enough for me to eat."

He was not lying.

The lowest denomination here seems to be blue.

So when the kitchen received his first bonus, they didn't give him change, only saying that dinner would also be a customized meal.

The additional information is that the person will survive for three days.

Including the blue chip in his hand, it's just enough for Ling Xiao's food expenses for the next two days.

As for breakfast!

For young people, the first thing they should eat when they wake up is "lunch"!

The logo on his chest was already 80% full.

One more order and we'll definitely be able to unblock it once more.

Another order has been delivered, and the light representing [Yunshui Yazhu] has lit up.

I now have savings in my pocket.

Not many, the Engel coefficient is maxed out.

Just as Ling Xiao was relaxing slightly because he had gained a foothold, the small window rang again.

And it wasn't just once.

ding ding-

ding ding ding-

The turtle immediately jumped up, yelling, "WTF!? Did I hear that right!?"

"Hey! Even if you have new delivery drivers, you can't exploit us to death!?"

There was no response from the kitchen.

Suddenly, a hand reached out and pointed the middle finger.

Boom!

The tortoise exerted its strength with a muffled thud and suddenly bit down.

But the other party was also familiar with its tactics, and after flashing the light, it immediately withdrew it.

The turtle was left with only impotent rage, and after venting its anger, it still had to obediently get back to work.

"Come on! Let's split it up!"

Even when angry, they dare not stay angry for too long. The turtle will only scold them a little, so as not to go to the kitchen and be cooked as food.

As for complaining to the proprietress?

It would rather die outside while delivering food, at least that would be considered a work-related injury.

Ling Xiao also realized the seriousness of the problem and did not try to shirk responsibility.

But he also learned his lesson and took out his phone to search for the distances between these locations.

"I'll take three out of the five takeout orders."

The tortoise generously replied, "Of course, if you want them, I can give them to you, I can even let you take four!"

"No, the capable should do more. You should earn more, senior!"

Ling Xiao was not blinded by greed.

The more orders you have, the more opportunities you have to profit from the price difference.

But you can never earn all the money in the world.

The person died before all the money was spent.

That's real suffering!

A tortoise that has to travel to three different places naturally has the right to choose first.

Ling Xiao understood.

The latest novel is first published here!

After all, not being able to deliver them all would be a real problem!

After confirming the distances to the remaining two locations, he accepted this assignment.

that's it.

Ling Xiao, who hadn't even had a few minutes of air conditioning, once again embarked on his journey with his delivery box on his back.

During this time, I also received a call from Qi Heng.

"Hey Xiao, what do you think? Aren't delivery drivers incredibly free?"

"And I've heard that some of your female clients not only have great figures, but they also shoot things that are inappropriate for children. Did you ever feel overwhelmed?"

Judging from his tone, the morgue is really quiet.

This guy is so idle that he can entertain the female ghost while simultaneously calling her to discuss the trials he might face.

After hanging up the phone, Ling Xiao quickened his pace.

Qi Heng was responsible for "guarding" the morgue.

According to his observation, the corpses delivered that morning were not only strangely shaped, but there were also a lot of them.

Although a significant number of people die in the city every day, the fact that so many are assigned to Renxin Hospital speaks volumes.

Moreover, Qi Heng vaguely heard terms like "wandering" and "criminals" from several police officers responsible for escorting the bodies.

Imagine this: A vicious murderer is roaming the city, showing no intention of lying low, and is committing crimes in a frenzy...

This conclusion is almost certainly correct.

That's why Qi Heng, despite being "busy," made a special phone call to remind Ling Xiao.

His job requires him to stay home most of the time, and he is always on call.

Furthermore, the street next to Renxin Hospital is the Public Security Bureau; only a madman would go to a hospital looking for thrills.

But the danger level for Ling Xiao, the deliveryman, is hard to say.

Walking down the street, what if a thug happens to pass by and sees his conspicuous yellow vest, and happens to be itching to stab him...?

Ugh……

Then hurry up!

The sunlight was very strong, which conveniently provided Lingxiao with some relief.

In the shade of the trees along the street.

The penumbra-like Ling Xiao moved with incredible speed, heading towards the nearest [Jinxiu Garden].

……

"Stop with the nonsense! No entry! No entry!"

"You've got guts... ah!"

Amidst screams, the arrogant security guard was pinned down and brutally beaten by Ling Xiao.

Neither of these places is actually close.

To leave a safety margin, Ling Xiao absolutely cannot tolerate any unnecessary delays!

But this guy is really strange; he can't be killed, and he even shatters but doesn't disintegrate.

It turned into a pool of black water and flowed into the security booth.

Finally, it solidified into a form, but only dared to stare fiercely at itself.

Don't bother arguing with him.

Ling Xiao rushed into the residential area, found Unit 5, and went inside to take a look.

There is no elevator.

They built a 20-story building without an elevator?!

And people are actually buying it?!

The worst part is that the customer who ordered the food actually lives on the twentieth floor.

That's great, no need to add notes anymore.

If delivery drivers don't want to be late, they have no choice but to huff and puff as they climb the stairs.

Fortunately, Ling Xiao had experience in dealing with this kind of situation.

Moreover, this time, no foolish monsters appeared to stop them, and they arrived at "2024" very smoothly.

dong dong dong-

"Hello! Delivery!"

There was no response. Ling Xiao frowned and continued knocking, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Niu? You've placed an order..."

The door was suddenly flung open.

A burly man with biceps bigger than Ling Xiao's head appeared. Judging from the bloodshot eyes, he didn't seem like someone easy to talk to.

"Give it to me."

He stretched out his hand and asked Ling Xiao for the dishes with a self-righteous air.

The fist, as big as a sandbag, was outstretched, and just looking at it gave off a suffocating sense of oppression.

But Ling Xiao simply looked at him calmly, "Excuse me, sir, cash on delivery..."

Bang!

The burly man suddenly attacked without any reason, throwing a punch at the enemy where Ling Xiao had been standing.

Fortunately, the latter never let his guard down along the way.

Even though skills cannot be used.

But his instinctive dodge instincts still helped him easily avoid the attack!

But the neighbors across the hall weren't so lucky in 2024.

The security door was smashed open, leaving a huge dent, and a woman's angry roar could be heard from inside.

"Who's so rude! Daring to bang on my door, do they have a death wish?!"

The deformed security door creaked open.

Ling Xiao only saw a ferocious figure rush out before the burly man, without even looking at it, casually punched it back.

There was a clanging and banging sound inside the room, then silence.

"One last time, give me my food."

The burly man standing in the stairwell finally displayed his magnificent physique.

Brief summary.

With that one stomp, he completely blocked the entire stairwell.

In contrast.

Ling Xiao's physique was not even that of a "teenager"; he looked like a malnourished child.

But this "child" once again refused the muscular monster's request.

"If you don't give me the money, it's really difficult for me..."

"This is difficult!?"

The burly man grinned, his thin cheeks wrinkling into rough lines.

"Once I punch you so hard your head is smashed into your chest, I'll give you a proper funeral!"

The ground shook so violently that it was feared the ground might collapse on the spot.

The sheer power the burly man unleashed in that confined space was even more awe-inspiring than that of a tyrant!

But Ling Xiao only took a deep breath and then sprayed it towards the strong man's face!

Fiery Breath!

Without waiting to confirm the effect, he feinted a shot to disrupt the opponent's vision and then immediately retreated.

To recklessly engage this kind of opponent in this kind of space is simply mindless.

The two intersecting staircases on the left and right are his main battleground for demonstrating his agility and maneuverability!

In this sudden battle, the most important thing is not complete victory.

Ling Xiao doesn't have that much time to waste.

If the delivery time is exceeded, the punishment will likely be far more severe than getting punched!

"Hehe!"

Peeling off the burning dead skin from his face, the burly man rushed into the stairwell, only to see the hateful figure disappear around the corner.

Enraged, he gave chase.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to block the line of sight, Ling Xiao obtained the main weapon he had envisioned—the fire axe!

Please make sure to close the doors of the fire-fighting equipment properly.

He kept the strong man hanging on, but always controlled his speed so that the other man wouldn't see his preparations.

Under the effect of [Containing Life Force], the divine power to defy fate is slowly being injected into the fire axe!

Several angry roars grew closer and closer.

Ling Xiao nimbly leaped and then quietly landed above the junction of the stairs and the corridor.

The gleaming fire axe was raised to the optimal angle for applying force.

then……

puff!
