The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human? Chapter 1368 1368: Delayed Update: Today's Chapter Will Be P

"Order placed by: Jiang Weiyang"

"Ti limit: One hour"

"Seastar Street, Jiang Weiyang, why does that sound so familiar?"

He pondered.

He rembered, doesn't the gang leader of the Sea Star Gang wanting to invest in the New Grape Hotel go by the na Jiang Weisheng?

Seastar Street and the Sea Star Gang, Jiang Weiyang and Jiang Weisheng, there must be a connection between them.

Coincidence seems unlikely, Liu Zheng is inclined to believe the other party wants to et him.

"Are they planning to strike preemptively, or do they want to switch sides?"

He fell into thought.

But regardless of which, he needs to be prepared for a battle.

Going to battle requires gathering people, Liu Zheng was listing nas in his mind.

Niu Daji can be brought along; it didn't suffer any injuries in the last mission.

Bai Tianshi can't be brought; he's currently volunteering in the Pink Kingdom.

Luo Ping can't be brought either; he's not strong enough, and he should probably head back to school.

Panda can't be brought; its Lifebound Magical Treasure was heavily damaged last ti, and it's almost left with just a flagpole. Letting it go to battle again would be too inhumane.

...

After weighing the options, he finally finalized the list.

"Brother Pai, are you free to help deliver so takeout?"

Liu Zheng's first call was to Ace.

"What's up? You need a driver?"

Ace asked, puzzled.

Why would he ask him to deliver food? He can't fight.

"Rember when you accompanied to the New Grape Hotel last ti? The hotel's rival, the Sea Star Gang, has ordered takeout, probably wanting to negotiate with ."

Liu Zheng explained.

"Oh~ sure, where to et?"

Ace agreed readily.

If the opponent's a gang, then there's no issue. The Security Departnt and gangs have an understanding; normal gangs wouldn't target official employees of the departnt.

Especially not a gang like the Sea Star Gang that's trying to transform; offending the Security Departnt now would be a move to harbor death.

"Still in front of the clinic."

Liu Zheng said.

"Alright, see you in a bit, Brother Zheng."

Ace hung up the phone.

"Doctor, do you have ti to accompany out for a bit?"

Liu Zheng's second call was to Doctor Nile.

"What's up?"

Doctor Nile asked.

"Here's the thing..."

He explained the situation to Doctor Nile.

"As you can see, so are sick, others are injured. I can only call on you, sir, to co out of retirent."

Liu Zheng said.

"Suddenly sweet-talking again, where was all that shouting from earlier? Bring it back out."

Doctor Nile sneered.

"Hehe, that was just being young and foolish earlier. You're a bigger person, don't hold it against ."

He said shalessly.

"Hmph, I wonder who taught you to be so shaless."

Doctor Nile scolded him and hung up the phone.

-----------------

"You've said things like this many tis before. You've done pretty well so far, but for to truly believe you, it's far from enough."

Si Xue said, unmoved.

"But so do genuinely believe, or else they wouldn't make such a target."

Liu Zheng replied.

"Oh? Tell more."

Si Xue paid attention to Liu Zheng but not to every detail.

For an Immortal Species, focusing on the big picture is a survival instinct; otherwise, they would drive themselves mad over the years.

"Here's what happened..."

Liu Zheng explained what he'd found.

"Hmm..."

Si Xue listened and pondered.

"You might be wrong this ti; it's targeting isn't because of ."

She finally spoke after a mont.

"Ah? Then why?"

Liu Zheng asked in surprise.

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

Though he always did his own thing during delivery ti, every order was delivered punctually, which also boosted the restaurant's performance.

Okay, he did draw a lot of resentnt towards the restaurant, but the grand Bloody Restaurant shouldn't mind a bit of resentnt, right?

"Did you forget you were punished for failing a delivery last ti?"

Si Xue asked.

"Huh? The punishnt isn't over?"

Liu Zheng groaned.

"No, it's because the punishnt ended that it targeted you."

Si Xue shook her head.

"Boss, forgive my ignorance, but I really don't understand this ti."

He said frankly.

"Everyone likes a useful dog. If it occasionally knocks over its bowl, nobody will kill it; they only scare it with a knife. But if a neighbor cos in pointing a gun at the owner saying they like the dog licking them, the owner would think differently. What would you do as the dog owner?"

Si Xue asked.

"Well, you're right, but this analogy is too rough."

Liu Zheng smiled wryly.

"You called yourself foolish, so I have to speak more bluntly. Did you get it?"

"I got it."

He nodded.

In short, the restaurant wanted to make an example and show favor through his failed delivery, but the Tomb Guardian cut them off, which would irritate any leader.

The question is, does the Tomb Guardian understand this?

"So boss, what should I do?"

Liu Zheng brought his thoughts back and asked.

"You don't have to do anything. The restaurant's will is chaotic, and with here, it won't take your life. As for the targeting, as an employee, you'll have to endure it. Moreover, as a newcor of just over ten days, your behavior has been too reckless."

Si Xue said candidly.

Always conducting personal affairs during delivery ti, lingering outside after fulfilling orders, serving other landmark agents, forming alliances with other departnt employees...

One thing after another, it's only because she's broad-minded; under any previous boss, Liu Zheng would be dood.

Liu Zheng lowered his head without speaking.

He didn't think his behavior was reckless; they just stood on different grounds.

Bosses always want employees to follow the rules without personal ideas, while employees hope bosses would allow them freedom for their ideas.

"Anything else?"

Si Xue didn't continue the topic.

Liu Zheng is smart, and with smart people, there's no need to say things comprehensively. Not only is it ti-wasting, but it also strains relationships.

"No more."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

"Then scram."

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

"Alright."

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

But he didn't voice it; instead, he rolled into the elevator again.

Upon returning to the break room, Niu Ma was already gone.

"There's indeed an order. Damn, I'll get beaten later."

Liu Zheng pulled a wry smile.

To avoid getting beaten, he needs to pay, but his funds are tight now, so getting beaten is more economical.

After gaming a while, Ghost Hand crawled in.

It raised its hand at Liu Zheng, seemingly expecting sothing.

"Here."

Liu Zheng handed over a fist-sized square of feed.

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

Earlier, Xia Kai showed him so items from the System Mall during a chat, and he bought so useful ones from him with money.

Xia Kai will stay in tropolis for three more days, providing so outing opportunities, which will make this money handy.

Ghost Hand swallowed the square feed, carefully chewed a few tis, then revealed a smile, indicating it was satisfied with the taste.

Liu Zheng smiled slightly, picking up the food delivery order on the ground.

"Dish: Sea Urchin Sashimi Beef, one serving"

"Address: 7 Seastar Street"

"Order placed by: Jiang Weiyang"

"Ti limit: One hour"

"Seastar Street, Jiang Weiyang, why does that sound so familiar?"

He pondered.

He rembered, doesn't the gang leader of the Sea Star Gang wanting to invest in the New Grape Hotel go by the na Jiang Weisheng?
