The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human? Chapter 774 - 533 Red Ghost: Where Are You From, Stranger

"That’s really quite sothing."

Liu Zheng gave a thumbs up.

"To be a sucker when alive, and still a sucker after death, that’s just too pathetic."

The Black Skull said bitterly.

Obviously, it had an unsavory past that it couldn’t bear to recall.

Sensing the mood, Liu Zheng didn’t prod further.

"I know, brother, you don’t lack money, and I, Nigga, don’t have money either. But..."

The Black Skull glanced around and took out a phone.

"Take a look at this."

As he focused his gaze, the phone screen revealed a shallow sea covered with seaweed.

The shapes of these golden seaweeds varied, and at a glance, one could easily mistake them for different species. But as soon as you noticed the round sacs growing all over them, you’d realize they were all the sa type.

These air-filled sacs provided buoyancy to the seaweeds, making them drift aimlessly on the sea surface, swaying like a group of fine horses flicking their tails out of boredom.

Yet, amidst this harmonious scene, there was a jarring presence.

It looked similar in shape to the other seaweeds, with round sacs on its leaves as well.

However, its color was pitch black, with a massive mouth centered within, and rows of blade-like teeth hidden within the folds.

No doubt, if any prey fell into this wide maw, those teeth would instantly spring out, slicing the prey into pieces.

"What is this?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"It’s you."

The Black Skull replied.

"Are you saying this is a Black Mountain Goat cub?"

He imdiately caught on.

"Exactly."

The Black Skull nodded.

"But it doesn’t look like a goat at all."

"Black Mountain Goat cubs aren’t really goats to start with. Look at you; apart from the hooves, do you have anything remotely goat-like?"

The Black Skull mocked.

"Hmm, you do have a point."

"Of course, this one is quite different from regular Black Mountain Goat cubs. It’s a subspecies we recently discovered; the official na is ’Dark Algae.’

"Tests have shown that the vitality of this ’Dark Algae’ is over ten tis that of an ordinary Black Mountain Goat cub, with a high-energy life core inside."

The Black Skull continued.

"A heart?"

"More or less like a heart. Aren’t you a Black Mountain Goat cub half-blood? If you can consu its heart, your power will certainly skyrocket, possibly even transcend."

The Black Skull tempted.

And Liu Zheng indeed felt tempted.

"So where is this Dark Algae now?"

He asked.

"Still in that sea area."

"A bit far, huh."

Liu Zheng hesitated.

To be honest, he was a hobody who rarely left the house except for work, often staying in for ten days to half a month without going out.

"It’s not far, just along the coast. Two hours by car."

The Black Skull said.

"Two hours? Even my delivery runs aren’t that long."

Normally, delivery orders are around forty minutes to an hour. To take longer, you’d need soone to order for you, or it’s a special dispatch from the restaurant.

Those two hours are just the journey; with eliminating the Dark Algae and cleaning up, it’ll take at least three hours.

Among Liu Zheng’s connections, those who could manage a three-hour delivery ti were very few and far between, and they were mostly Earth Spirits.

Considering this, the total delivery ti needed would be five hours.

In that five hours, even the Fisherman could probably be dismantled.

"If I were driving, it’d take two hours. But with your car, it should be less than an hour."

The Black Skull glanced at the Koenigsegg One-1 and said.

"Got a map?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Didn’t bring one."

The Black Skull shook his head.

"Then use mine."

He asserted, taking out a map.

This delivery-specific map was clear only for urban areas, becoming rather perfunctory beyond, especially along the coast.

But at least the scale was correct, allowing for distance estimation.

"Here."

The Black Skull studied it for a mont and tapped a spot on the map with a skeletal finger.

"Alright."

Liu Zheng went back to his car and showed the map to the driver.

"Colonel, how long to get here?"

"How long do you need?"

The driver asked back.

"As fast as possible."

"Two million, twenty minutes."

The driver thought and replied.

"What about five million?"

He quickly asked.

"Five million is also twenty minutes."

The driver lifted his eyes and said.

"Alright, twenty minutes it is then."

If the delivery ti is one hour, that leaves forty extra minutes. With ten Legend delivery n’s cigarettes, that’s seventy minutes, which should be enough.

In that case, there’s no need for Fisherman or French Plane Tree, these Earth Spirits, to assist with the order. Even Guo Koutangzi could handle it.

"Does the Dark Algae have any weaknesses?"

Liu Zheng asked the Black Skull again.

"Given its rarity, we haven’t carried out destructive testing on it. However, we discovered a kind of fish in that sea, and found elents matching the Dark Algae within them."

"Experts speculate that these fish are likely natural predators of the Dark Algae, crucial in controlling its spread."

The Black Skull answered.

"Can you get it?"

"Shouldn’t be an issue. These fish aren’t great in texture but look quite appealing. The departnt is considering developing them as ornantal fish. If you want, I can find a way to get you a couple."

The Black Skull said.

"Sure."

Fisherman just loves researching fish, right? Giving him these to study might uncover sothing and easily deal with the Dark Algae.
