The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human? Chapter 1265 781: Pond Master: Wait, Is It Sick or Something

"How much was the compensation?"

Liu Zheng raised an eyebrow.

"Twelve thousand! Damn it, I just barely scraped off a bit of paint, this is such a damn scam!"

Using the expletive twice, it's clear that Niu Ma was truly furious.

"Wow, you actually paid that?"

He clicked his tongue in surprise.

Niu Ma hardly seems like a creature that abides by the law.

"What choice do I have? All the hospital's equipnt is insured by an insurance company. If you don't pay up, the insurance guys will co block your door. Those people won't just play gas with you; if pushed, they can trace your ancestors for eighteen generations. It wasn't long after I had just married your sister-in-law back then, I couldn't afford to ss with them."

Niu Ma said with a dejected look.

"It turns out, once you have attachnts, you have weaknesses."

Liu Zheng lanted.

If Niu Ma weren't married, it wouldn't pay at all. If anyone dared to block the door, it would just kill them, however many ca, until the insurance company went bankrupt.

"You have the nerve to talk about , you've got way more attachnts than I do."

Niu Ma sneered.

Its only attachnts are the 'Animal Farm' band and its female counterpart, but this kid's attachnts can't even be counted on all four hooves.

"There's a saying back ho, if you have attachnts, you have armor. When it cos to armor, wearing a few extra layers is never wrong."

Liu Zheng laughed.

"Ugh, you're making my skin crawl. Go wear your armor, I'm going back to soak in the bath."

Niu Ma said impatiently.

"Soaking in the bath with your phone, anyone would think you're handling urgent business."

He teased.

"If I didn't have my phone, could you ask questions now? That's the awareness of being a leader, you've got a lot to learn."

Niu Ma hung up the phone.

"Tch~"

Although its words were cocky, Liu Zheng found himself unable to argue.

Putting down the phone, he sat on the haystack waiting.

The odds of survival slipped away with ti, and this feeling was incredibly hard to bear, whether it was his own life or soone else's.

But rushing things wouldn't help, Bai San over there must be even more anxious than he was.

So, all he could do was wait.

"I'm back, ow."

Bai San's call didn't co, but San Huamao arrived first.

Seeing it hop and jump its way in, despite Liu Zheng being preoccupied with his thoughts, he couldn't help but smile.

"Back so soon, seems like the delivery went smoothly."

He placed San Huamao on his lap, scratching its head.

"Not very smoothly, ow. I spent all the money, ow."

San Huamao said.

"No worries, it's ant for you to spend."

Liu Zheng didn't ask how it spent the money, instead handing it another wad of cash.

"Liu Zheng is the best, ow~"

San Huamao turned over, exposing its belly.

Of course, Liu Zheng wouldn't waste the gesture, burying his face into its fur and inhaling deeply.

"Oh, right, this is for you, ow."

After so play, San Huamao took out a brick from its pouch.

"What's this?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"I don't know either, ow. I thought the security guard was going to use it to hit , so I snatched it, ow."

San Huamao replied.

"And what about that security guard?"

He asked casually.

"I killed him, ow."

San Huamao said matter-of-factly.

"Hmm..."

Indeed, San Huamao is essentially still a predator.

Liu Zheng took the brick, and the item description popped up.

"Na: Fighting Brick (Disposable)"

"Type: Tool"

"Quality: Excellent"

"Effect One: Designate a target and hit a part of your body with the brick. If the target cannot perform a more extre self-harming act than the player, the target receives a 'Reverence' status. Otherwise, the player receives the 'Reverence' status."

"Effect Two: The damage caused to the player by this item is true damage."

"Note: Sun Thief, today it's slicing your flesh and salting it or jumping into hot oil, if I frown, I'm your wild child's son!"

"Can it be taken out of instance: Yes"

"Reverence: The player will select a target as the object of reverence. Any aggressive action towards that target (including but not limited to physical attacks, magic attacks, verbal attacks, etc.) requires a willpower check. A failed check results in the attack failing."

"What a great thing."

His eyes lit up.

For others, this might harm the enemy at the cost of hurting oneself greatly, but for Liu Zheng, it's a purely positive tool.

Although his body has changed, his mind remains, no one can out-tough him.

"Salmon is really impressive."

Liu Zheng smiled and placed a piece of dried fish into its paw.

"Of course, ow, I'm the owner's kitty, ow."

Salmon turned around, tearing into the dried fish.

The Pond Master erged beyond its feline form, with a doting smile identical to Liu Zheng's.

Suddenly, a phone call shattered the warm atmosphere.

Liu Zheng's expression turned stern imdiately, and San Huamao went quiet.

"Speak."

He pressed the answer button.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Liu, we still haven't found Tianshi's exact location."

Bai San said apologetically.

"It's okay, I believe you've already done your best."

Liu Zheng said calmly.

"But I've gathered information on Yang Fengdian, the doctor."

Bai San continued.

"What are your thoughts?"

He asked.

"I would like to share the information we've gathered with you and order a delivery with an extended delivery ti, in the hope that while rescuing your people, you can also try to save Tianshi."

Bai San said.

"If I can save him, I will. But the issue is, the hospital is too big. Without an exact location, it's impossible for to find Bai Tianshi within the ti limit, and then both he and I will die."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

"I understand, and regarding this, I have a plan."
