The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?!-Chapter 1228 - 762: Niu Ma: Then Why Don’t You Whip Me?_2
"Too bad we can’t collect their feces."
Doctor Nile said regretfully.
"Please don’t, if something goes wrong, we’re the ones who’ll be blamed."
Liu Zheng quickly warned.
Although Doctor Nile usually seems pretty reliable, you can never assume the researchers don’t have active imaginations.
Remember how many research results were simply because the researcher had a sudden idea.
"Sigh~"
Doctor Nile sighed in disappointment.
"If only we could stew them all together and make a dish like Five Dragon Heavenly Fighting Soup as the headliner, it would make a big splash for our Extreme Flavor House’s reopening ceremony."
Chili Head, who came specially to watch the fun, said eagerly.
"It’s such a waste to only use these big dragons for soup, I think we can use the head and bones for the soup, make sashimi from the belly, make roast birds from the spine and ribs, and curry from the tail..."
Guo Koutangzi arranged the bodies of the five dragons clearly, worthy of being the head of Jiwei Group.
"I told you following me is the right choice. Even turning into zombie dragons to pull a coffin is better than being butchered and eaten."
Liu Zheng patted the Obsidian Pillar that sealed the Little Red Dragon, unsure if the latter could hear him.
The crowd chatted around the pillar for a while, then The Fool’s carriage appeared from the gray mist.
"What a lively scene."
The Fool jumped off the carriage, chuckling.
"I thought everyone may not have seen dragons, so I invited them over to check it out, hope you don’t mind?"
Liu Zheng smiled.
"We’re all friends here, why would I mind?"
The Fool said pleasantly. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
Nine Dragons Carrying Coffin wasn’t exactly a secret, and using a few dragons was no big deal for the writer’s president; Five-Colored Dragon Clan is welcome to come question us.
"Alright, clear the way, let The Fool receive the goods."
Liu Zheng clapped his hands.
"Oh~"
The crowd chuckled and dispersed.
The Fool took off his hat, gray mist spread out, enveloping the Obsidian Pillar.
"No, these pillars can’t be taken in."
After trying, it shook its head.
"My carriage probably can’t fit them either."
The hat and carriage were extensions of The Fool’s powers; if the hat couldn’t do it, naturally the carriage couldn’t either.
"No worries, we’ll deliver them ourselves."
Since there’s no order this time, no deadline, no problem.
With Niu Ma accompanying them, even without the added safety of the Legendary Armor, they’d be secure.
"Then I’ll trouble you both."
The Fool bowed.
"You are too kind."
Liu Zheng quickly returned the salute.
Niu Ma said nothing but also returned the gesture.
It didn’t like dealing with these prestigious folks, but it understood basic courtesy.
Saying goodbye to the crowd, the three headed towards Imperial Vista Villa.
"Mr. Deliveryman’s efficiency is truly awe-inspiring."
The Fool admired.
It had searched for years for clues to the Nine Dragons Carrying Coffin, but Liu Zheng snagged the whole package, even a plus version, in just a few days.
"It was just a coincidence, I also relied on support from the cemetery and restaurant."
Liu Zheng said modestly.
"Being able to have support from these landmarks is a testament of strength itself. Alas, Mr. Deliveryman doesn’t wish to join our Writer Association, truly our great loss."
The Fool sighed.
The writer’s president was already dangerously old; even maintaining his health with the Nine Dragons Carrying Coffin, he’ll gradually have to delegate power.
The Fool, being the hottest Platinum Writer and president’s confidant, is almost certain to inherit authority.
Someone like Liu Zheng, deeply connected, with immense potential but temporarily not high in status, would be a perfect addition to its team.
"Whether I join or not, if you need anything, just tell me, I’ll handle it brilliantly. Besides, the status of Bloody Restaurant deliveryman may be lowly, but it offers convenience others can’t match."
Liu Zheng replied.
"Mr. Deliveryman’s reasoning does make sense."
The Fool nodded.
Landmark entities like restaurant, cemetery, writer association have their necessary existences, along with their advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage of the restaurant focuses on killing immunity and legal destruction.
If Liu Zheng were with the Writer Association, even as a Platinum Writer, he’d inevitably have to be questioned by relevant departments for his deeds, and fines wouldn’t be avoidable.
But Liu Zheng not only escapes fines, he doesn’t even need to compensate the victims, and if the victims sue, the court won’t entertain it.
With apparent disadvantages too.
Like a deliveryman being killed by a customer then that’s simply deserved; even if killed midway, it’s just bad luck.
The Security Department doesn’t investigate the murder of deliverymen, nor do insurance companies cover them.
"By the way, have you thought about Fei Shibu’s promotion to Platinum Writer?"
Liu Zheng asked.
Though Fei Shibu often bickered with him, whenever she helped out, she never dropped the ball, so he had to reciprocate.
"I’ve persuaded a few Platinum Authors, and together we’re nominating her. However, her foundation is still lacking. To ensure quick and stable promotion, she needs to bolster her foundation a bit."
The Fool replied.
"Are you referring to literary fortune?"
Liu Zheng recalled that book of Bailangzi’s Poem Draft.
"Indeed. But stealing others’ literary fortune isn’t ideal; utilizing one’s own works to enhance fortune is the superior path."
The Fool agreed.
"That’s a bit difficult, isn’t it?"
Even for a short story, one can’t just write it in one or two hours, let alone a piece enhancing literary fortune, that requires either a burst of inspiration or painstaking effort.
Sometimes waiting for inspiration may take longer than crafting diligently.
"It is difficult, but there are clever ways. Writing is the fundamental carrier of content; based on literary works, you can adapt into various forms like comics, movies, TV series, animations, and theater. As long as the adapted work becomes popular, it can also feed back into enhancing the author’s literary fortune."
The Fool explained.
"I see."
Liu Zheng realized.
He remembered a fantasy novel that’s famed in the online literature circle, but known by few outside it.
However, after being adapted into an animation, it exploded in popularity, leading to a larger audience for the adaptation than the original readers, almost defying all odds.
"Does Mr. Fool have channels for this?"
He inquired.
"I don’t, but the president may. This matter isn’t for the deliveryman to worry about, leave it all to me."
The Fool replied firmly.
"Alright, then I’ll leave it to Mr. Fool."
Liu Zheng smiled.
Finally, something he doesn’t have to worry about, what a relief.
"By the way, will Peacock come out to cause trouble later?"
As they got closer to Imperial Vista Villa, Liu Zheng couldn’t help but be concerned.
"No worry, the president is prepared. If Peacock dares to obstruct, the president will raze Imperial Vista Villa to the ground."
The Fool assured.
"Won’t you need to buy a new house then?"
He blurted out.
"Hahaha, Mr. Deliveryman is always so humorous. No worries, if Source Castle is gone, I’ll just buy another next to the clinic, so we can all have a good time."
The Fool laughed.
"That’s great, remember to save me a south-faced room with a balcony, and floor-to-ceiling windows, okay?"
Liu Zheng cheekily requested.
"No problem."
The Fool agreed readily.
Though they were walking, the three of them had exceptional endurance, soon reaching the bridgehead of Imperial Vista Villa.
This time, the guards saw Liu Zheng and Niu Ma’s uniforms, and without hesitation, raised their weapons to aim at them.
"Step back, one more step and you’ll die."
The leading guard sternly warned.
"Who gave you permission to be so rude to my guests? Is the hefty management fee I pay every year just for you to flaunt authority over the residents?"
The Fool immediately stepped in front of the two and rebuked the guards.
"Mr. Fool, the company issued strict orders never to allow anyone from Bloody Restaurant in, please don’t make it difficult for us."
The guards showed no intention of backing down.
