The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human? Chapter 238 - 236 Si Xue’s Reward

Liu Zheng didn’t hesitate, he grabbed Si Xue’s foot and licked it.

The golden liquid, with a temperature reaching a thousand degrees, instantly burnt through his tongue. Enduring the terrible pain, he swallowed it before the golden liquid could burn through his chin.

The burn spread from his esophagus all the way to his stomach, and then finally stopped.

However, most of the heat carried by the golden liquid had been depleted, considering it was only the size of a soybean.

The injured parts quickly healed, and Liu Zheng coughed forcefully a few tis, spitting out so charred flesh and blood.

However, he still felt a warm sensation in his belly.

The power carried by the golden liquid seed to have not dissipated but had instead beco dormant.

"It will sense your thoughts; the mont you consider leaving the border and take action, it will burn you to ashes,"

Si Xue said indifferently as she put her foot down.

"But if you run into trouble, you can use it to deal with the situation."

"Thank you, boss,"

Liu Zheng said with a beaming smile.

He hadn’t considered staying outside the border to begin with, and was at most going to directly settle the instance.

So to him, this thing was purely a benefit for employees, all gain and no harm.

"Boss, how many days will the procurent trip take?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Three to five days, perhaps,"

said Si Xue.

"Then, may I apply to use a reward?"

he asked.

"What would you like?"

"I’d like to order takeout for the employees going on the business trip with , preferably lasting until we return."

Liu Zheng pondered and said.

What the world beyond the border looked like, nobody he knew had any idea.

Si Xue might know, but she certainly wouldn’t tell him.

Therefore, the Legendary Armor, which could enhance all attributes, provide immunity to rationality decline, and turn his attacks into real damage, was the most reliable safeguard.

"Sotis you’re recklessly bold, other tis excessively cautious,"

Si Xue glanced at Liu Zheng.

"Bold in action, careful in preparation,"

he said modestly.

"Fine, I agree,"

Si Xue considered for a few seconds and then said.

Although Liu Zheng didn’t blow up the office building for her personally, objectively, he had avenged her.

Though pressed by three parties, she really couldn’t protect Liu Zheng forever, but that didn’t an she was willing to watch him die.

As the saying goes, the restaurant is iron-clad, but the boss is a passing breeze.

If her subordinates started to lose heart, who would be willing to handle her private matters in the future?

"Thank you, boss,"

this ti Liu Zheng was genuinely delighted.

"That’ll be all, now get lost. I’m going to take a bath,"

Si Xue said unceremoniously and then subrged herself completely in the golden liquid.

"Got it."

Since the boss had spoken, he quickly took his leave.

However, he didn’t head back to the resting room because the White Feather Chicken blocked him at the elevator door.

"Co with ."

After speaking, White Feather Chicken headed towards the kitchen.

Liu Zheng shrugged his shoulders and followed it back to the kitchen.

By that ti, the kitchen had already closed. Only two employees were dozing off in a corner.

Hearing footsteps, they opened their eyes.

"Carry on sleeping,"

White Feather Chicken said.

"Yes, Head Chef,"

the Lizard Man and Hyena closed their eyes again.

"So you’re not as aloof as you appear to be,"

since he was going to run anyway, Liu Zheng spoke a bit more boldly.

"Only a chef full of energy can produce perfect dishes; I’m rely fulfilling my duties as the Head Chef,"

White Feather Chicken didn’t get angry, instead, he explained.

"Admirable,"

he said sincerely.

Among the leaders of the three major departnts at the Bloody Restaurant, White Feather Chicken was the one with the most leadership flair.

Britannia lost its edge in madness, Niu Ma lost it in casualness.

White Feather Chicken did not respond to his praise, but the chef’s hat on his head grew a bit taller.

Arriving at the fish tank, there was a closed cardboard box on the ground.

White Feather Chicken lifted the lid, and San Huamao was curled into a fluffy ball, sleeping soundly, with a snoring sound as loud as a motorcycle engine.

A human face erged from its back, watching them warily.

"Ti to get up."

White Feather Chicken ignored it and stretched out a wing to pat the cat’s head.

"Hehe, little fish treats, they’re all mine."

San Huamao wriggled twice but did not wake up, instead, it started talking in its sleep.

"Sigh."

White Feather Chicken sighed and then leaned down to peck the cat’s ear.

"ow!"

San Huamao shrieked, leaping out of the cardboard box in an instant, arching its back, with all its fur standing on end.

However, while it assud an attacking stance, its eyes were still closed, and it was even drooling.

"If you don’t wake up now, I’ll confiscate all of your little fish treats."

White Feather Chicken said softly.

"Don’t!"

San Huamao made a sound even more pathetic than when its ear was pecked, and imdiately opened its eyes, very wide.

"Eh? It’s Liu Zheng. Are you here to give fish, ow?"

It asked, looking at Liu Zheng with anticipation.

"Not this ti, maybe next ti."

Liu Zheng extended a tentacle and affectionately petted its head.

"Oh, alright, ow."

San Huamao lifted its hind paw and scratched behind its ear.

"Let’s get down to business."

White Feather Chicken couldn’t stand it any longer.

It always felt that this cat was exceptionally in sync with the two guys from the takeout departnt, even down to their laid-back deanor.

"What business, ow?"

San Huamao put down its paw and sat upright on the ground, like a plush toy.

"Tomorrow you’ll go shopping beyond the border with him."

White Feather Chicken said.

"Ah? Can I not go, ow?"

San Huamao looked reluctant.

Unlike other staff who yearned for freedom, San Huamao quite liked the kitchen, especially its cardboard box.

This was one of the reasons White Feather Chicken valued it.

"Not possible. Don’t you consider this human your friend? If he goes alone, he’ll surely never return."

White Feather Chicken first outright refused, then coaxed gently.

"Right, Salmon, I need your help."

Liu Zheng chid in.

Since he had to go with soone from the kitchen, he would definitely choose soone familiar.

And San Huamao was good-natured, with presumably strong abilities too.

"Alright, then I’ll go, ow."

San Huamao agreed with a look of distress.

"Salmon is so nice, Salmon is the cutest and best cat in the whole world."

Liu Zheng couldn’t help but extend a tentacle to scratch its chin again.

"Of course, ow, my master says the sa, ow."

San Huamao’s expression turned smug.

"Here’s the shopping list for this trip; accomplishing more than half of it counts as a pass, less than half and there’ll be a punishnt when you return."

White Feather Chicken pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to Liu Zheng.

"Blank?"

He shook the white paper and said.

"It will reveal itself once you leave the border."

White Feather Chicken said.

"Alright."

"This is the storage equipnt for carrying ingredients."

White Feather Chicken took off his chef hat and pulled out a smaller one from inside.

Liu Zheng took the chef hat, and the item description imdiately popped up.
