The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human? Chapter 530 - 411: I Only Recognize Underpants, Not People

"Aunt Jinzi."

Seiko climbed out of the tank and bolted toward Jinzi, who had co to greet her at the door.

"Stop!"

Jinzi shrieked, retreating a few steps.

"You, hurry up and clean yourself up, then change your clothes. Looking like this is a disgrace to our family!"

She said disdainfully.

"Oh~"

Seiko stuck out her tongue, bowed to Liu Zheng and the others, then skipped away into the won’s bath.

It was obvious she was quite adored within the family.

"Zheng Chan, why do you always end up looking like this, and now you’ve brought Seiko along, as well as this young lady."

Jinzi looked at Liu Zheng with slight exasperation.

"You don’t understand. Redemption lies in... the midst of filth."

He said with a completely serious expression.

"You an the Dao resides in filth?"

Jinzi squinted and corrected him.

"Sa aning, sa aning."

"You and this mummy gentleman should go wash up too."

Jinzi gestured an invitation.

"Do we have to pay? If we do, just give us a hose, and we’ll rinse off outside."

Liu Zheng joked.

"Forget it—if anyone sees, it’ll hurt our business even more. This ti, it’s on ."

Jinzi said half-jokingly.

"Then I’d better pay for myself; beauty’s kindness is the hardest debt to repay."

He pulled out a wad of cash, deliberately rubbed it against himself, and stuffed it toward Jinzi’s chest.

"Ahh!"

Jinzi shrieked in surprise.

But after yelling, she realized Liu Zheng’s hand had stopped half an inch from her chest and hadn’t actually touched her.

"Heh heh."

Liu Zheng stuffed the cash into her pocket and sauntered off to the n’s bath with Doctor Nile and Niu Daji.

The familiar scent of detergent, the familiar routine—but this ti with two misery-loving companions.

"Boss, should I scrub your back?"

As soon as they entered the shower area, Niu Daji asked enthusiastically.

"No need, I prefer to do that myself."

Liu Zheng declined politely.

"Can’t you tell? Your boss doesn’t like you because you’re not female. Be good and co scrub instead, I won’t mind."

Niu Daji tried to persuade him further but was stopped by Doctor Nile.

"Ah, alright then."

The young Minotaur sighed, resigning himself.

No choice—the other party was tougher to beat, had seniority, and might even end up as the boss’s father-in-law one day. Which, by extension, would practically make him the young Minotaur’s own grandpa.

Couldn’t afford to offend him, couldn’t afford it.

Liu Zheng ignored Niu Daji’s unfortunate predicant.

Scrubbing soone’s back might sound undignified for a Minotaur, but it really depended on who you scrubbed.

Simply being a doctor with his own clinic was enough to make all kinds of shady and supernatural folks flock to Doctor Nile.

Don’t be put off by his nonsensical and gross treatnt thods; compared to sketchy clinics offering shady redies with extre side effects, his approach was practically at a miraculous level.

What, you’re talking about hospitals?

Forget about tropolis’ average residents—even rich heirs like nightingales would go bankrupt after a few visits.

After thoroughly cleaning up, Liu Zheng changed into the high-end bathrobe Jinzi had specially bought for him and headed to the VIP room.

As for Niu Daji and Doctor Nile, they naturally went to enjoy the services offered.

"This ti, we’re really grateful to you, Zheng Chan. Seiko, hurry over and pour Zheng Chan so wine."

Jinzi commanded.

"Yes."

Seiko walked over to Liu Zheng in small steps, then knelt to pour him wine.

Now dressed to perfection, she was even more stunning than when they’d first t. Despite her resemblance to Jinzi’s face, subtle differences gave her a touch more innocence.

"Zheng-san, please drink this cup to the fullest."

Seiko whispered, her gaze soft like water.

"Thank you."

Liu Zheng raised his glass, and the item description imdiately popped up.

"Na: Masticated Wine"

"Type: Tool"

"Quality: Excellent"

"Effect: Randomly grants ’Divine Concealnt’ or ’Divine Connection’ status."

"Note: Masticated Wine must be brewed by a virgin, though the virgin is not necessarily young."

"Can this item be taken out of the instance: Yes"

"Divine Concealnt: Player is more likely to be overlooked by gods or god-like entities."

"Divine Connection: Player is more likely to draw the attention of gods or god-like entities."

"This was brewed by Seiko when she had just turned fourteen; originally, it was intended to celebrate her ancestral awakening. But to thank Zheng Chan for saving her life, we specially brought it out."

Jinzi explained.

Seiko shyly smiled and lowered her head.

"In that case, I’ll shalessly accept."

Liu Zheng directly stored the Masticated Wine into the System Space.

"Zheng-san... are you displeased with ?"

Seeing him stow it away without drinking, Seiko raised her head, her eyes starting to mist.

tropolis was a place where all manners of beings converged—where so consud without limits, and others clung to outdated propriety with rigid taboo.

"Of course not."

Liu Zheng replied with unwavering calm.

"It’s just that I have a friend who loves drinking. If I give him this wine, I can gain more benefits. Besides, I happen to need his help with sothing."

"If you disagree, I can drink it right now."

He stated candidly.

"Ah, I see... That’s okay, this was a small token of my goodwill, you can use it however you please."

Seiko hurriedly replied upon hearing his words.

"Zheng Chan is as straightforward as always."

Jinzi remarked with admiration.

"Honesty is the ultimate skill, isn’t it?"

"Exactly—and an essential reason we entrusted you, Zheng Chan."

Jinzi said earnestly.

"Well, since you’ve put it like that, I won’t hold back."

Liu Zheng adjusted his posture, making himself appear more formal.

"Please go ahead, Zheng Chan."

Seeing his deanor, Jinzi straightened her back as well.

"How would you rate my performance on this task so far?"
