The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human? Chapter 1367 1: Update Delayed Due to Illness

"Roll over here."

Si Xue said nonchalantly.

Her voice resonated through the entire cave like thunder, causing the piles of treasure on the ground to clink and clang.

Today, she seed particularly authoritative.

"Alright."

Liu Zheng ignored Asura's displeasure and skillfully rolled into a ball, tumbling all the way to Si Xue's side.

"I've been a boss for so many years, and you're the first employee who dared to actively seek a eting with . Even those departnt heads report their work over the phone. Sotis I wonder if you're actually a product of my drunken escapades, otherwise how could you be so audacious?"

Si Xue stared at him and said.

"Because they are loyal to their work, while I am loyal to you, the boss."

Liu Zheng t her gaze and said calmly.

"You've said this many tis before, and so far you're doing quite well, but to truly make believe you, it's far from enough."

Si Xue said unmoved.

"But so people really do believe it, otherwise they wouldn't target like this."

Liu Zheng said.

"Oh? Let's hear it."

Si Xue was more concerned with Liu Zheng but not to the extent of caring about every little detail.

For an Immortal Species, prioritizing big issues over small ones is a survival instinct; otherwise, they'd drive themselves insane over the long years.

"It's like this..."

Liu Zheng shared so situations he discovered.

"Hmm..."

Si Xue pondered upon hearing this.

"This ti you might be mistaken; it's targeting because of sothing else, not because of ."

A mont later, she spoke slowly.

"Huh? What is it then?"

Liu Zheng asked in surprise.

Apart from Si Xue, he hadn't done anything to offend the restaurant.

Although he often used delivery ti for his personal affairs, the takeout was always delivered on ti, and those proactive orders were part of the restaurant's performance, too.

Alright, he did bring quite a bit of hatred upon the restaurant, but surely the Bloody Restaurant wouldn't care about a bit of resentnt value, right?

"Did you forget you failed a delivery last ti and got punished?"

Si Xue asked.

"Huh? The punishnt isn't over yet?"

Liu Zheng said with a pained expression.

"No, it's because the punishnt is over that they're targeting you."

Si Xue shook her head and said.

"Boss, forgive for being dense, but I truly don't understand this ti."

He said frankly.

"Everyone likes a useful dog; occasionally knocking over the food bowl won't lead to its death, just a scare with a knife. But then a neighbor cos in with a gun and says, 'I like this dog, it licks daily. If you dare to kill it, I'll kill you.' If you were the dog's owner, what would you think?"

Si Xue asked.

"Though the words are crude, the logic isn't, but your taphor is exceptionally coarse."

Liu Zheng chuckled bitterly.

"You called yourself dumb, so I had to speak crudely. So, did you understand?"

"Understood."

He nodded.

Simply put, the restaurant originally wanted to use his failed delivery incident to establish authority and leverage favor, but it was intercepted by the Tomb Guardian. Any leader in such a situation would be displeased.

Now the question arises, does the Tomb Guardian understand this?

"Then boss, what should I do?"

Liu Zheng withdrew his thoughts and asked.

"You don't need to do anything. The restaurant's will is chaotic; with here, it won't take your life. As for the targeting, as an employee, you have to endure it. To be honest, as soone who's only been employed for ten days, your behavior has been quite audacious."

Si Xue said straightforwardly.

Using delivery ti for personal matters every ti, lingering outside for long periods after deliveries, serving other landmark agents, connecting with other restaurant departnt employees...

Any one of these instances would have been enough to seal Liu Zheng's fate under previous bosses, but her resolve is vast.

Liu Zheng lowered his head without speaking.

He didn't feel his behavior was audacious; it was simply a matter of different perspectives.

Bosses always hoped employees would stick to the rules without personal thoughts, while employees hoped bosses would allow them personal agency.

"Is there anything else?"

Si Xue didn't continue discussing the topic.

Liu Zheng is smart; with smart people, there's no need for exhaustive talks, as it wastes ti and damages relationships.

"Nothing else."

Liu Zheng shook his head and said.

"Then roll away."

Si Xue waved her hand, continuing to toy with the Black Gemstone in her hand.

"Alright."

He glanced at the Black Gemstone, an idea forming in his mind.

But he didn't voice it, instead rolling into a ball and entering the elevator again.

Back in the break room, Niu Ma was already gone.

"There's really an order, well, I'll get beaten up again later."

Liu Zheng tugged at the corner of his mouth.

To avoid a beating, he'd have to pay, but his funds are tight now, so a beating is more economical.

After playing so gas, Ghost Hand crawled in.

It raised its hand looking at Liu Zheng, seemingly expectant.

"Here you go."

Liu Zheng took out a fist-sized square piece of feed.

This was the "Universal at Eater Food" Xia Kai had previously used to feed the Lizard Man.

During previous conversations, Xia Kai showcased so items from the System Mall, and Liu Zheng found so useful ones, purchasing them from Xia Kai with money.

Since Xia Kai will still be in tropolis for three days and has chances to go out, the money will co in handy then.

Ghost Hand devoured the square-shaped feed, cautiously chewing a few tis, and then a smile appeared at the corner of its mouth, indicating satisfaction with the taste.

Liu Zheng smiled slightly, picking up the takeout order from the ground.

"Dish: Sea Urchin Beef Sashimi"

"Address: 7 Seastar Street"
