The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human? Chapter 851 - 572: Liu Zheng Boards the Sedan, Eight-Bearer

When he stood in the sunlight, he finally saw clearly the sphere he held in his hand.

The surface of the sphere was mainly milky white, with so pale yellow spots.

Liu Zheng leaned in to sll it, and could vaguely detect a peculiar fragrance.

It wasn’t as intense as sand worm blood, but the aftertaste was much longer.

"Colonel, I found it."

He raised the sphere and said.

"Not bad, this size is already above average, so you’re not too unlucky."

The driver erged from the tank and said.

"That’s right. After all, my luck has been improved several tis."

Liu Zheng said proudly.

"By the way, this sll is quite similar to sand worm blood, is it the sa thing?"

He asked.

"Not completely. This stone sphere is actually a sand worm’s neuroganglion, and the stuff inside is called ’spice’, a substance ford from the reaction of sand worm blood, marrow, excretions, and various miscellaneous things."

"The effect of ’spice’ is much stronger than sand worm blood, and it’s much more addictive. Your subordinate is using sand worm blood, so I said he still has hope. If he were using ’spice’, I’d only advise you to give him a quick end."

The driver replied.

"If all the soldiers are dead, what’s the point of the Commander’s existence?"

Liu Zheng shook his head and said.

"I don’t think it has any particular importance, the other people you know can all replace it. Of course, you’re the Commander now, I’m just an advisor providing suggestions."

The driver chose to keep his opinion to himself.

"Let’s continue discussing this thing, shall we?"

He carried the sphere back into the tank chamber.

"How should we handle it? Cut it open or extract it with a syringe?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Either is fine. But I suggest you don’t open it just yet; sell the entire sphere as it is."

The driver said.

"Why?"

"Have you ever heard about gambling on stones?"

The driver asked back.

"I’ve heard of it."

He nodded.

When jade is mined, there’s a weathered skin covering it, making it impossible to determine the quality inside; it has to be cut to discern the quality of the jade.

So people specifically buy these raw jade stones, then gamble that the jade within them will be worth more than the cost of purchasing the stones.

This kind of play is called gambling on stones.

Of course, in reality, this is purely a scam.

Not to ntion the issues with various testing thods, the overall quality of raw stones from the sa area doesn’t differ too much, leaving no real room for gambling.

"This is different. The ’spice’ inside the neuroganglion is very sensitive, and existing testing thods would cause them to combust spontaneously, so gambling on ’spice’ is still justified."

"The sand worm has beco like this, so although this neuroganglion’s size is decent, how much ’spice’ is still inside is hard to say. So it’s better to sell the whole thing."

The driver explained.

"I see. Then I’ll put it away for now."

Considering the stone sphere’s weight isn’t very heavy, it wasn’t convenient to place in the Legendary Takeout Box, Liu Zheng simply stored it in the "Headless Mandarin Duck Pouch."

This storage equipnt obtained from the Box Weaving Spider finally welcod its first inventory.

"Who should I sell this to?"

He asked again.

"’Spice’ has a wide range of applications, and since you acquired it through legitimate channels, there should be plenty of people willing to take it."

The driver said.

At this point, being an employee of Bloody Restaurant again showed its benefits. If it were an ordinary person, even if attacked proactively by an Erakos Sand Worm, even if the Biology Administration Bureau deed it as self-defense, the spoils would still be confiscated.

"Okay."

Later, he could first inquire with Doctor Nile, and if Doctor Nile had no channels, he would then ask Sadu You Comrcial Firm or the "dical Bee" pharmacy.

Considering the similarly addictive "Di Yega" was purchased from dical Bee, the latter’s willingness to pay a high price for acquisition is quite likely.

"What should I do with this sand worm corpse then?"

Liu Zheng asked again.

"Just said, if you sell it to a stone mason, you might be able to exchange for so money."

The driver said impassively.

"Or perhaps it could have so other use."

He had a quick idea and dialed 4399.

"What’s up?"

answered instantly.

"I encountered an Erakos Sand Worm attack near Bathhouse Street."

Liu Zheng said.

"Rescue or follow-up?"

asked.

"I’ve already taken it down. I thought the Biology Administration Bureau might need it, so I called you."

"Was it intentional or accidental?"

was silent for two seconds, then asked.

"At least for , it was accidental."

He understood 4399’s aning.

"Alright, I’ll contact the Biology Administration Bureau over there."

"Let’s go, to Bathhouse Street."

Liu Zheng hung up the phone and commanded.

"Received, Commander."

Perhaps due to reliving the hunting activity with the driver, the driver’s attitude towards him was very good.

The tank quickly arrived at the Bird House, Liu Zheng carrying Niu Daji out of the cabin.

"Brother! Brother, what happened to you?"

The two Minotaur guarding the Bird House were shocked when they saw him and imdiately rushed up.

"Ran into enemies on the way just now. Who are you two?"

Liu Zheng explained and asked.

"Boss, I’m Niu Baji."

The slightly larger Minotaur said.

"Boss, I’m Niu Jiuji."

The slightly smaller Minotaur said.

"Where’s Niu Xiaoji?"

He asked casually.

He rembered Niu Daji was standing guard with Niu Xiaoji at the ti.

"Brother Xiao Ji got into trouble again, his mom grounded him."

Niu Baji replied.

The work goes to whoever is responsible, but if you find soone to substitute or get subjected to family discipline, then the wage for that day goes to the substituting Minotaur.
