The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?!-Chapter 1338 - 817: Farewell, Dragonfly Captain (2)
"I lost."
Cang Sha Xiang looked forlornly at her arm.
She originally thought that apart from Coach Hard Man, no humanoid creature could surpass her in pure muscle strength.
"You didn’t lose to me; you lost to a hundred million."
Liu Zheng said.
"What?"
Cang Sha Xiang looked at him blankly.
"This artificial body cost me a hundred million. If you could win, that would be the real problem. And anyway, I told you, we would both win."
"You’ll receive the delivery, and I’ll still buy this building, or at least rent this gym to you."
Liu Zheng said.
"You mean it?"
Cang Sha Xiang said excitedly.
"Of course, my credibility is certified by major landmarks and their representatives. Otherwise, do you think I could summon Dragonfly Captain?"
He said proudly.
Dragonfly Captain gave him a sidelong glance, but didn’t expose him in the interest of a well-hosted match.
Arm wrestling isn’t unusual, but a match between a delivery person from Bloody Restaurant and the customer is quite rare.
Over the years, besides Liu Zheng, only the Legendary delivery man had him host a match, and it wasn’t with a customer.
"I thought you were just a big nerd..."
Cang Sha Xiang muttered softly.
"What did you say?"
"Nothing. You should still rent to Coach Hard Man; I don’t have the money to pay you rent."
Cang Sha Xiang said.
"The prize from my match is obviously for you. As for who you choose to sublease to, that’s your business."
Liu Zheng said.
"No worries, Xiangjiang, I’ll convince the boss to renew the lease. I’m comfortable renting it to you."
Hard Man said as well.
The future rent of this gym will at least double, and there’s no worry about it not being rented out.
Even if the gym owner doesn’t want to renew, Cang Sha Xiang would make a handsome profit by renting to someone else.
"Alright then, when are you buying the place?"
Cang Sha Xiang asked.
"After you sign for the delivery, I’ll have my men coordinate with you. I still have deliveries to make. I don’t have time to handle small things like buying a building."
Liu Zheng said casually.
"Coach, can I hit him? He looks so smug."
Cang Sha Xiang softly asked Hard Man.
"No, you can’t fight in the gym. Besides, he doesn’t even have his own body to train muscles, he’s so pitiable, just let him be."
Hard Man whispered back.
"Hey, you don’t think I can’t hear you, do you?"
Liu Zheng squinted as he spoke.
"Hehe～"
The two shared a pure smile that matched their muscles.
"Alright, sign for the delivery."
Liu Zheng pulled out the bottle of chili oil from the Legendary Takeout Box.
"Wow, it’s actually this!"
Cang Sha Xiang exclaimed in surprise.
She had been eyeing this chili oil for a long time, but unfortunately, her wallet was thin.
Although the ’hundred million chili oil’ isn’t actually worth a hundred million, it’s not something an ordinary college student could afford.
Plus, the raw materials for this chili oil come from overseas, and even with money, it might not be obtainable.
"Looks like you really like this. I’m curious how you plan to use it, you won’t really smear it on yourself, will you?"
Liu Zheng asked.
"That’s right."
Cang Sha Xiang nodded repeatedly.
"Xiangjiang’s constitution is special; applying chili oil to her body can speed up her metabolism, improving her workout efficiency, and the hotter it is, the better. Of course, it has to be made from pure chili, industrial capsaicin won’t work."
Hard Man explained on her behalf.
"Do you apply it all over your body?"
"Yeah, both internally and externally, it works even better."
Cang Sha Xiang said.
"Impressive."
Liu Zheng gave a thumbs up.
He thought about asking Guo Koutangzi if she wanted this chili oil, and if not, he’d give the duplicated bottle to this dark-skinned girl since no one else probably appreciated it as much.
"A harmonious and friendly match, hope you all continue to bring more exciting competitions to the Metropolis."
After watching Cang Sha Xiang sign the delivery note, Dragonfly Captain gave his closing speech, then prepared to fly away.
"Wait a minute, Judge, did you forget something?"
Liu Zheng called out to him.
"The prize has been awarded. Any private agreements you have are your own matter, I have no duty or authority to supervise them."
Dragonfly Captain said.
He thought Liu Zheng was talking about the gym rental.
"I wasn’t talking about that, I meant the gold medal, hehe."
Liu Zheng smiled shyly.
"Gold medals aren’t given casually, only sufficiently spectacular matches earn them."
Dragonfly Captain shook his head.
This arm wrestling was worth attending, but it didn’t quite qualify for a gold medal.
"Alright then."
Liu Zheng sighed and didn’t press further.
Given his relationship with Dragonfly Captain, if it could be awarded, it would have been.
"Speaking of competitions, I’m planning a new talent fitness competition with several familiar gyms. Can I invite you to host?"
Hard Man interjected.
"If your match is sufficiently exciting, I will come."
Dragonfly Captain glanced at him and said.
They couldn’t monitor all the competitions within the Metropolis in real-time, but since Hard Man had informed him, he would be aware.
However, a street-level new talent fitness competition likely wouldn’t capture his interest.
"Alright."
Hard Man nodded disappointedly.
"Are there any participation requirements?"
Liu Zheng asked when he saw the situation.
"Anyone who has been a member of these gyms for less than a year can participate."
Hard Man said.
"Then count me in, I’ll sign up all my friends for memberships too."
"Speaking of my friends, they’re truly extraordinary. Among them are a surviving Priest of the Ra Clan, a Platinum Author and two renowned authors from the Writer Association, the sole daughter of the sewer agent, and the only son of the Travel Mage..."
Liu Zheng rattled off a list of names.
"Alright, enough, summon me ten minutes before the match starts, later."
Dragonfly Captain interrupted, then flew away in his man-headed dragonfly mode.
"Does this mean Dragonfly Captain agreed?"
Hard Man asked incredulously.
"Of course, with this lineup, even a competition organized by the Ministry of Culture might not gather such a group."
Liu Zheng said confidently.
Though many people would refuse his requests for violence or nefarious deeds, they would be willing to just take part in a fitness competition.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Liu."
Hard Man shook Liu Zheng’s hand eagerly.
"No need to thank me, you’re my personal trainer."
Liu Zheng was about to say more when he suddenly felt a chill.
That feeling was all too familiar to him.
"He’s coming, let’s go."
He pulled Hard Man out of the room.
"Do you think Xiangjiang will be okay?"
Hard Man asked, looking worriedly at the closed door.
"Don’t worry, at most she’ll need some rest, she won’t die."
Liu Zheng reassured him.
Anyone who could arm wrestle an Extreme Fury Asura at full power should be fine receiving a delivery.
"Alright, but you don’t seem as terrifying as the rumors say, I guess the saying about Bloody Restaurant’s delivery men being demons among demons is just a stereotype."
Hard Man smiled.
"Let me clarify, that’s not a stereotype. Don’t elevate my individual actions to the entire restaurant. Other delivery men don’t negotiate with customers, they play winner takes all."
Liu Zheng said.
"Got it."
Hard Man solemnly said.
"If Cang Sha Xiang needs treatment, take her to ’Imhurst,’ just say I sent her. Alright, I’m off."
"Take care."
Liu Zheng left the gym and called Wang Manni.
"Bring the stuff and meet me on Rose Street."
He said.
"Got it."
Hanging up, he drove to Rose Street and saw the French Plane Tree with a bunch of birds perched on it from afar.
Liu Zheng decided not to disturb it and parked his car near the manhole.
After a while, Wang Manni’s Beetle drove onto the street.
"Over here."
He signaled to the Beetle, guiding Wang Manni to his side.
"Wow, your car looks so cool!"
Wang Manni’s eyes lit up when she saw the spirit car.
"If you like it so much, why did you buy a Beetle?"
Liu Zheng asked.
"Can’t help it, everyone else buys it. I don’t have the privilege to stand out yet."
Wang Manni shrugged.
