"We've agreed."

The Smart Head spoke up before the Magic Head.

It's not that it believed Liu Zheng, but they really needed a job right now.

The money Liu Zheng gave them had been confiscated, and their salary for this month was also withheld.

They had to pay the rent next week, and if they couldn't find a job soon, they'd be sleeping on the streets.

And in a place like Metropolis, sleeping on the streets is worse than digging a hole and burying yourself.

"Good. Find your own way to Bathhouse Street. Call me when you reach the entrance. If you can't find it or end up dying midway, then it's your own fault."

Liu Zheng prepared to leave after saying that.

"Wait, boss, can you at least give us some travel expenses?"

The Smart Head called out to him.

"Didn't I give you guys ten thousand bucks already?"

"The property manager confiscated it, and we didn't get our salary either."

The Smart Head replied with a constipated look on its face.

"And yet you still argued with me. If I hadn't come, you'd be done for."

Liu Zheng rolled his eyes.

"We had to follow the procedures, you know. If we didn't act smart enough, what if you suddenly decided to sell us off?"

The Smart Head argued.

"Alright, makes sense."

He took out a wad of cash and handed it to them.

"Thanks, boss."

The Smart Head said with a beaming smile.

"Mm."

Liu Zheng nodded and turned to leave.

"Uncle Huang, I'm off."

He greeted the old security guard at the apartment gate.

"Did you kill that brat?"

The old security guard looked at him and asked.

"No, I just paid for medical expenses and let him go."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

"Mm, you're a decent kid."

The old security guard said approvingly.

"Uncle, do you know that kid?"

"His mom's a working girl. Originally, we didn't allow people with her kind of job to rent here, but I felt sorry for her being pregnant and she spoke decently, so I put in a good word for her."

"Then I took sick leave for a while, and when I came back, I found out she had gone to work and never returned. Her child starved to death."

His tone was flat, as if he were describing a fallen leaf.

"Metropolis is like that."

Liu Zheng said.

"Yeah, Metropolis is like that. Wait, that kid usually only makes some noise and causes a bit of mischief, he doesn't harm anyone. How did you get into a fight with him?"

The old security guard asked curiously.

"Ahem, I said if he continued making noise, I'd blow up his mom."

He said awkwardly.

"...Your mouth is really asking for trouble. Young man, speak more civilly in the future to avoid unnecessary trouble."

The old security guard advised.

"Got it, got it. I'm leaving now."

Liu Zheng quickly drove off in the spirit car.

"Half an hour left, where should I go?"

He pondered while steering and checking his phone.

After thinking, Liu Zheng decided to go see the Mini People.

If the Mini People could offer enough benefits, he'd hand the "Sight Meat" over to them.

If the Mini People didn't want it or couldn't offer enough benefits, he'd consider consuming it himself.

Honestly, Liu Zheng really didn't want to eat any more of these things.

He's already not quite human nor ghost, who knows what indescribable thing he'd become if he continued "supplementing" himself.

Upon arriving at Jiahe New Residence, equipped with an honorary owner medal, he drove the spirit car straight into the community.

Perhaps because of his driving in, there were many more vehicles in the neighborhood.

Liu Zheng made a big loop before finally finding a spot that wasn't reserved for private vehicles and was less likely to get scratched.

Of course, it wasn't a proper parking space.

At the door of 1503, he pressed the doorbell and waited quietly.

"Tendaros, go open the door."

The voice of the Mini People came from inside.

"Aw!"

With a howl, the security door opened.

Tendaros extended its long, large head toward Liu Zheng, staring intently at him.

"Here, eat this first, there'll be better stuff later."

Liu Zheng pulled out some dried fish and stuffed them into its mouth, whispering softly.

"Aw~"

Tendaros chewed the dried fish contentedly and returned to the Mini People's side.

"If you keep feeding it, it's going to become picky."

The Mini People teased.

"Then I'll take charge of its meals."

Liu Zheng laughed.

"No need. If it eats too much, it can't leave Metropolis."

The Mini People shook its head.

"So it can't drink this either?"

He took out a bottle of Golden Label and a bottle of Silver Label.

"Aw!"

Tendaros grabbed the liquor bottle in its mouth, teleporting next to the Mini People, and rubbed it with its large head.

"You don't want to go back to Tindalos City?"

The Mini People asked, frowning.

"Whimper, whimper~"

Tendaros whimpered like a puppy and held the Mini People in its mouth, licking it with its long tongue.

"Alright, alright, just one bottle, leave that Silver Label."

The Mini People said helplessly.

"Aw!"

Tendaros carefully put the Mini People back on the sofa, then happily ran with the Golden Label into the room.

"Get the handkerchief from the drawer for me."

The Mini People instructed.

"Oh, okay."

Liu Zheng opened the drawer of the coffee table, took a folded handkerchief, and handed it to the Mini People.

The Mini People used the handkerchief to wipe Tendaros' saliva clean, and the handkerchief turned into a pile of black ash.

Without needing instructions, Liu Zheng took a napkin to clean it up.

"What's your reason for coming this time?"

The Mini People asked.

"I got this."

He took out the "Sight Meat" from the System Space.

"This is... where did you get it from?"
