"Name: Green Splash Chewing Gum (One-time Use)"

"Type: Prop"

"Quality: Excellent"

"Effect: After use, it sprays green poisonous water from the mouth, causing splash damage to enemies."

"Remark: Green Splash Chewing Gum, sending you to your doom, without any pressure."

"Can be taken out of the instance: Yes"

A plain and unassuming effect, but since it's of excellent quality, its power should be decent enough.

Speaking of which, I wonder if "spouting nonsense" can be stacked with "Green Splash Chewing Gum", maybe the power would be 1+12.

Just don't know which unlucky fellow would partner with him to test it out.

"I'm counting on you, bro."

The Big White Goose jumped up, patted Liu Zheng's shoulder, and then quickly left.

"Ottawa really gave you the blood."

Niu Ma marveled in disbelief.

This old fox is even craftier than it is, the kind who would snatch back a sneeze, yet this time he actually agreed to offer up blood for some ritual. Truly, it's a first.

"That's the power of reputation, my friend. If it were you, you'd agree too."

Liu Zheng said confidently.

"In your dreams, dude. I'd even take a crap where you couldn't find it."

Niu Ma retorted.

"So what if you had to give your blood to someone in the restaurant, who would you choose then?"

He asked.

"..."

Niu Ma fell into deep thought.

"Sigh, having a great reputation is such a bother. All day long, just dealing with other folks' business."

Liu Zheng sighed as he returned to his small stool.

"Tui!"

Niu Ma spat at him.

"Keep acting, you'll play dead one of these days."

"Jealousy, it's pure jealousy."

Liu Zheng smugly called Yuan Baoer.

"President Yuan, get me one of those fetish costumes you've got."

He said straightforwardly.

"Mr. Liu, no problem with the fetish outfit, but you better not waste it on someone else."

Yuan Baoer teased right off the bat.

"What are you thinking? I'm using it for serious matters."

Liu Zheng rolled his eyes.

Divorcees dare to say anything, just like a few sister-in-law colleagues in real life.

"What serious matter could that outfit be for? Did City Hall invite you to boost the birth rate?"

Yuan Baoer laughed.

"There are so many minority races in Metropolis, it won't come down to me to boost the birth rate. I need the outfit to kill someone."

Liu Zheng said.

The Big White Goose refuses to order take-out, so there's no legitimate reason to kill the Black Swan, thus disguising his identity is necessary.

Cosplay outfits are hard to get and a waste, but a fetish outfit is just right.

"Oh~ alright then, it's barely serious business. Are you coming to get it yourself, or should I have it sent to the clinic?"

Yuan Baoer asked.

"Send it to the clinic, please. Oh, and there are two more things."

Liu Zheng said.

"Go on."

"The first thing, I'd like Seiko from 'Jidao Public Bath' to come over to you for a few days for some work experience and co-host the logistics committee celebration with you."

He said.

"The little girl you rescued from Hundred Ghosts last time, right? Sure."

Yuan Baoer agreed readily.

It's just temporary work experience, which means hanging a title, not likely to make other employees unhappy.

Plus, as an outsider, Seiko might better identify issues at the 'Wonderful Baths' venue.

"Alright, second thing. I got you a two-headed ogre for security, it's already on its way to Bathhouse Street. Interview it, and if it's not suitable, let me know, and I'll place it elsewhere."

Liu Zheng continued.

"It better not be a little girl too."

Yuan Baoer raised an eyebrow.

"A male, with fists as big as my head. I want you to use it first, pay the salary, and there'll be other arrangements later."

He said irritably.

"No way, once they come, they're mine, I'll pay them myself, don't think you can call them away. Unless, of course, you run the household~"

Yuan Baoer's tone was teasing and flirty.

"Yeah, right, as if I have the time to run things! I'm so busy I have to time my restroom breaks."

"Alright, enough chatter, I'm hanging up."

Liu Zheng hung up the call.

Every day it's just teasing him, if it weren't for his "Child Skill" practice, he'd show them a thing or two.

After preparations were done, all that was left was to wait for orders.

Liu Zheng once again felt deeply that choosing the delivery department back then was the right choice.

The Bloody Restaurant and Metropolis in some sense are like two worlds, and he's the one shuffling between them.

Perhaps he could have survived in the customer service and kitchen departments too, but definitely not leveraged so many resources or changed so many lives as now.

Of course, the price was turning a game of survival into a seemingly endless game of tasks.

But honestly, this fits Liu Zheng's character pretty well.

After all, he's a genius who turns nurturing games into speedruns and battle chess games into Warrior's games.

After waiting half an hour, he finally got an order.

Ghost Hand still appeared half-dead, sometimes letting out a foul-smelling wine burp.

"With that alcohol tolerance, drinking at Du Kang Wine Workshop, next time I'll get you some milk beer to trick your taste buds."

Liu Zheng shook his head and poured a glass of plain water from the Headless Mandarin Duck Pouch onto Ghost Hand.

After cleaning its surface grime, he took out a paper towel and wiped it down.

Ghost Hand didn't resist; instead, it smiled at him.
