The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human? Chapter 613 - 452: The Hidden Function of the Honorary Owner

"Then I’ll just randomly bring you sothing, okay? Chocolate milk should be fine, right?"

The food delivery passageway still gave no response, but Liu Zheng took it as tacit agreent.

After all, San Huamao could drink it, so the passageway shouldn’t have an issue with it either.

Since the driver complained about the ride being too long, he didn’t bother calling a car and instead took off running at full speed.

With his current stamina, half an hour was more than enough ti to make it.

Of course, Liu Zheng didn’t let his guard down. One hand gripped the slaughter knife, while the other held the delivery slip, ready to either fight or flee at any mont.

Perhaps sensing the murderous aura he exuded, the journey remained uneventful.

"Halt!"

As Liu Zheng arrived at the entrance to Jiahe New Residence District and was about to walk in, he was stopped by a squinty-eyed security guard.

"You don’t recognize anymore?"

He pointed to himself and asked.

"Who the hell are you, and why should I recognize you?"

The squinty-eyed guard gave him a sideways glance.

"? Last ti, I joined the 10th Anniversary Celebration event and even won first place in the competition. You were the one who let in, rember?"

Liu Zheng attempted to jog his mory.

"Oh, you’re talking about my brother. I’ve never seen you before."

The squinty-eyed guard replied.

"Wow, you and your brother really look alike!"

Liu Zheng exclaid sincerely.

From their appearance to their physique, even their eyes and hairstyles were identical.

"No shit. We’re blood-related. How could we not be alike?"

The guard rolled his eyes.

"Oh, fair enough. Wait, huh?"

He suddenly realized sothing, furrowing his brows.

"Huh what? That’s just how our species is. If twins are born, the older one will eat the younger one."

"If the parents want to keep both, they go for a C-section. If they don’t, the older one digests the younger to enhance their abilities."

The guard explained.

"Wouldn’t most people choose the latter option then?"

"Not really. Twins share a psychic bond; whatever one learns, the other picks up too. It’s twice the efficiency for half the effort."

The squinty-eyed guard shook his head.

"So you two..."

Liu Zheng hesitated.

"The catch is that at least one of them has to be super ambitious. But both my brother and I are total freeloaders, so our parents always regret not having my brother eat ."

The guard anticipated his question.

"Well, being a security guard isn’t so bad. At least you and your bro have each other’s backs."

Liu Zheng offered so comfort.

"That’s what I think too. Why exhaust yourself striving for more? As long as there’s smokes to puff and booze to drink, what more do you need, right?"

The guard replied casually.

"Makes perfect sense to ."

Liu Zheng nodded in agreent.

"Glad you get it. But sorry, I still can’t let you in. My brother switches shifts in two hours—co back then."

The squinty-eyed guard’s attitude softened noticeably.

"That won’t work, I’m on a tight schedule. Oh, wait, I’ve got this."

He pulled out the Jiahe New Residence Honorary Hoowner dal.

"Oh, you’re an Honorary Owner? Why didn’t you pull that out earlier instead of making go on and on?"

The guard rolled his eyes again.

"So many things going on lately, my mory’s shot. Working the night shift must be tough—here, take this as a tip. Get yourself so nice smokes or drinks."

Liu Zheng handed over a stack of cash.

"Woah! You’re really generous. This is like my and my brother’s combined salary for a month. You didn’t need to do this after I already let you in."

Despite his words, the guard’s hands deftly pocketed the money into his coat.

"Just being polite. Your brother wouldn’t accept a tip last ti, so it’s making up for that."

Liu Zheng said with a grin.

"Well then, on his behalf, thanks a lot. So, what do you need help with? Heads up, I’m good for guiding you or answering questions, but no way I’m doing anything like killing or arson."

"Not that I wouldn’t want to help you, but I really don’t have the skills for that and wouldn’t want to ss up your plans."

The squinty-eyed guard said nonchalantly.

"Fair enough. By the way, what are the esteed nas of you and your brother?"

"I’m Sheng Laoer, and my brother’s Sheng Laoda."

The guard replied.

"Hmm... quite dominant-sounding nas."

Liu Zheng barely suppressed the urge to laugh.

"Go ahead, laugh. I find it funny myself. If changing nas weren’t such a hassle, I’d have done it ages ago."

Sheng Laoer didn’t seem to mind.

"Is it really that complicated? Which departnt handles na changes?"

He asked.

"The Security Departnt, obviously. Don’t you know that?"

Sheng Laoer frowned at him suspiciously.

"Oh, I co from a remote place. I don’t know the rules in the city."

Liu Zheng explained.

"Wow, you’re doing pretty well for soone from the sticks. The Bloody Restaurant pays that much?"

Sheng Laoer asked in surprise.

"Not really. Most of my inco cos from side gigs. Brother Sheng, do you really want to change your nas? I’ve got so connections at City Hall and can ask for you."

He offered.

"For real? That’d be amazing. If you can help my brother and change our nas, we’ll owe you big ti."

Sheng Laoer’s face lit up.

"Well, I do have a little favor to ask now."

Liu Zheng seized the opportunity.

"Go ahead. If I can help, I will. If not, I’ll return half your tip, deal?"

"Haha, no need to refund. It’s like this..."

He briefly explained the situation with the Mini People.

"Oh, that owner? Yeah, I know him. Pretty famous in our district."

Sheng Laoer acknowledged.

"Brother Sheng, are you sure this is sothing you can talk about?"

Liu Zheng cautioned.

"Others, no. But you’ve got *that*, rember?"

Sheng Laoer gestured at the Honorary Hoowner dal on Liu Zheng’s chest.

"Oh, right, almost forgot."

Liu Zheng quickly checked the item’s description again.

"Na: Jiahe New Residence Honorary Hoowner dal"

"Type: Tool"

"Quality: Excellent"

"Effect: Grants unrestricted access to Jiahe New Residence District. While working, all property staff and residents will cooperate fully."

"Note: Collect five Honorary Hoowner dals to unlock additional effects."

"Can it be taken out of the instance: No"

"Got it."

After reading through, he nodded to himself.

Getting information about the person ordering the delivery was technically part of his job too, so this dal really packed a punch when it ca to utility.

"Brother Sheng, please continue."

"That owner’s called Newt—he’s a professor at City First University and also does part-ti work at City Hall."

Sheng Laoer revealed.

"Wow, he’s that accomplished, and he still lives here?"

Liu Zheng blurted out.

"Hey, hey! What’s wrong with our Jiahe New Residence? Is it not good enough for him or sothing?"

Sheng Laoer was visibly annoyed.

To him, the district was like half a ho, and he intended to work there until retirent.

"Damn, my loose tongue. My bad, Brother Sheng, please continue."

Liu Zheng slapped his own face without hesitation.

"Oh, co on now, man. You’re too sincere—it’ll cost you in the city, I’m telling you."

Ironically, Sheng Laoer felt a little embarrassed by his display of humility.

"Out here, you’ve got to take your licks and stand tall. All good, Brother Sheng, carry on."

Liu Zheng said confidently.

"You’re tough, no wonder you’re doing so well. Alright, I’ll keep going."

Sheng Laoer gave him a thumbs up.

"He teaches courses about mythological creatures, though I’m not sure about the details. But he must be pretty good; even people from the Sanitation Departnt have specifically visited him."

"No wonder he’s raising a Tendaros Hound as a pet."

He seed to suddenly understand.

"Right. His pet license is a special approval from City Hall. I’ve seen it—it even has the Security Departnt Director’s signature."

Sheng Laoer nodded in agreent.

"That hound must’ve caused you guys plenty of trouble, right?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"What do you think? All the flowers and plants in our district have been wrecked by that thing. At first, he even had the property staff walk his dog, but after a few tis, nobody dared anymore."

"Sure, no one’s died, but missing limbs, accelerated aging—nobody wants to deal with that."

Sheng Laoer vented.

"To be fair, Professor Niu’s not a bad person. He didn’t force us when we refused. He hired soone else, but even those walkers weren’t dumb. After a few rounds, word got out, and no one would take his gigs."

"Figures he’d resort to asking , a delivery guy, to walk his dog."

Liu Zheng muttered.

"Nah, nah."

Sheng Laoer shook his head.

"What do you an?"

"It’s not you walking the dog—it’s the dog walking you."

Sheng Laoer declared in all seriousness.
