The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?!-Chapter 1223 - 760: Precocious Dragon Egg

"Alright, forget it then."

Liu Zheng shrugged.

It’s not surprising to be found out, after all, the last time he was here, the clerk mentioned that the Mini People’s dog was very fierce.

"You’re not being very upfront here."

The clerk shot Liu Zheng a sideways glance.

Calling someone ’Sir’ is just professional courtesy. To work at Zhengwen Pawnshop, he naturally has connections.

"Just asking, didn’t say for sure that I need home delivery. Besides, I’m a delivery guy myself, I’ve delivered to Professor Newt’s place a few times, no problem at all."

Liu Zheng defended himself.

"Mr. Liu, I can’t compare with you, a Black Mountain Goat Cub hybrid. If that dog licks me once, I’d be dead."

The clerk exposed his identity.

"Oh? You know me?"

Liu Zheng raised an eyebrow.

"A delivery guy coming to redeem items at Zhengwen Pawnshop, of course, we need to pay special attention."

The clerk tactfully said.

"A young talent working at Zhengwen Pawnshop, I should get to know you better. I came in a hurry this time, didn’t bring anything, so here’s a bottle of wine as a token."

He took out a Copper Mark and handed it to the clerk.

"This isn’t very appropriate."

The clerk’s eyes lit up, but he looked conflicted.

He could definitely afford to buy Du Kang Wine Workshop’s Copper Mark, but it’s like a luxury shop clerk receiving an iPhone17 Pro Max as a tip; it’s going to leave you a bit flustered.

"It’s a gift from me, just take it. What? Is Zhengwen Pawnshop’s salary so high that you look down on my stuff?"

Liu Zheng put on a stern face.

"Of course not. Whatever you bestow is an honor, it’s only right for me to accept it."

The clerk quickly said and seriously put away the Copper Mark.

"That’s more like it. Go wrap up the stuff for me."

He said.

"Alright. By the way, Mr. Liu, there’s still a ’Digging Tibetan Fox’ by Master Tuma in stock. Do you want to redeem it as well?"

The clerk, having received a benefit, naturally wanted to return the favor.

"Oh? What’s the story behind it?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"They belong to the same Highland Animals series, and that Tibetan Fox is digging in a marmot’s burrow."

The clerk explained.

"How do you know that?"

"I don’t know, anyway, everyone says so, and Master Tuma didn’t deny it before he passed, so that’s what it is."

The clerk spread his hands.

"Alright, alright, a belief shared by many becomes truth, huh."

Once a creator finishes a work, the right to interpret it no longer belongs to them.

As they say, a thousand readers have a thousand Hamlets, and when a thousand readers only have one Hamlet, even if Shakespeare resurrected to say Hamlet wasn’t like that, it wouldn’t matter.

"How much is it?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Seventy Thousand."

The clerk said.

"Alright, I’ll redeem it together."

He nodded.

Seventy thousand is not too expensive, and items in a set definitely have a gifting effect of more than 1+1 equaling 2.

Liu Zheng paid the redemption fee, and the clerk went into the storeroom to get the items.

Soon, he came out with two plastic boxes, one containing a marmot with its paws raised to the sky, roaring, and the other with a Tibetan Fox just busy digging.

"Infinite Heavenly Venerable."

Liu Zheng put both boxes into the Qiankun Ring.

"I’m off."

"Have a safe trip, Mr. Liu. You’re welcome to visit anytime."

He left Zhengwen Pawnshop and got into the spirit car.

Glancing at the time, it probably wasn’t enough time to go to Jiahe New Residence, but a quick trip to "Sadao You" Trading Company should be doable.

After all, one was a personal matter, the other could be considered business duty; they were of different natures.

Upon arriving at the entrance of "Sadao You" Trading Company, a clerk immediately invited him into Hui San’s study.

"Mr. Liu, my father is currently in a meeting, he asked me to attend to you first." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

After a while, Hui San’s son, Hui Xiaobai, came in.

He emphasized his relationship with Hui San to show how much Hui San valued Liu Zheng.

"Is it good news or bad news?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"I don’t know, but judging by my father’s expression, it doesn’t seem to be good news."

Hui Xiaobai replied.

"Go tell your father, I don’t understand business, but if someone comes looking for trouble, I’ll make sure they regret it."

He said.

With his current power, saying it’s a dream to build in the Metropolis, but when it comes to destruction, even landmark places would suffer.

On this, the sewer has plenty to say.

"Yes! I’ll go immediately."

Hui Xiaobai left excitedly.

Soon, he returned happily.

"What did your father say?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"He didn’t say much, but he looks a lot more relieved."

Hui Xiaobai replied.

"Mm."

He nodded.

That’s exactly what he was aiming for.

Having confidence when discussing matters changes everything; even if you do nothing, the other side will keep making concessions.

"Come, let’s play a couple of rounds."

Liu Zheng invited.

What he meant by "playing a couple of rounds" wasn’t Mahjong, but playing a fighting game together.

Because in most fighting games, character moves require inputting multiple direction commands along with attack commands, so hands keep moving between the joystick and buttons.

"Sure, sure."

A round of fighting game is quick, so it was after more than twenty battles that Hui San finally came in.

"Father."

Hui Xiaobai greeted, but didn’t put down the game console.

Hui San responded with a nod, not rushing them, watching them play games.

"Alright, you go take care of your business, I’ll chat with your father for a while."

After finishing a round, Liu Zheng put down the game console and said to Hui Xiaobai.

"Okay."

Seeing Hui San also nod, Hui Xiaobai stood up and left the study.
