"Boss, you can’t just watch the thieves eat meat but not see them get beaten."

Liu Zheng said helplessly.

Firstly, he doesn’t have the strength of Niu Ma, so delivering takeout is still dangerous for him.

Secondly, he’s not just delivering takeout; he also has to complete tasks given to him by various shady characters. If he fails, the consequences won’t be much better than failing the delivery, not at all as easy as Niu Ma said.

"What are you babbling about? Get over here and give me a massage."

Niu Ma said as it lay down.

"You haven’t gotten a massage on Bathhouse Street yet?"

Liu Zheng walked over to it, placing his hand on its back.

"It’s all your fault. My wife insisted on dragging me back to the city for a late-night market trip, and after that, she made me work for ages back home..."

Feeling the force on its back, Niu Ma showed a contented expression.

"Work, that is."

It shivered comfortably, then continued speaking.

"You’re out of breath, I thought your wife had you working all night on little Niu Ma."

Liu Zheng said speechlessly.

"Of course, otherwise, I wouldn’t be this exhausted. A hard-fought day off is more tiring than a full day of delivering takeout. What misfortune."

Niu Ma sighed.

"Alright, alright, don’t take advantage and act pitiful. I didn’t see you coming back early either."

Liu Zheng rolled his eyes.

"What is it, I’m your boss. Can’t I vent a bit?"

Niu Ma said discontentedly.

"Alright, alright, go ahead and vent, I’m listening, okay? By the way, do you want to try something that packs a punch?"

He suddenly thought of something.

"What packs a punch? I’m not interested in males."

Niu Ma said cautiously.

"Relax, I’m even less interested. Watch closely, let me show you what’s called a single-player four-arm symphony."

Liu Zheng stuffed a handful of feed into his mouth and then directly activated the Four-armed Asura mode.

In Four-armed Asura mode, the strength, frequency, and precision are unmatched by normal standards, instantly elevating Niu Ma’s experience.

"Oh~ yeah, yeah! That’s the feeling. Packs a punch, truly packs a punch!"

Niu Ma’s muscles trembled as if electrified, even the whites of its eyes rolled up.

It wasn’t until Liu Zheng stopped for a while that it escaped from the delightful yet painful illusion.

"Your skill is amazing, how come I didn’t feel it was this intense before?"

Niu Ma said, catching its breath.

"Upgraded to better equipment, you know? This is a billion-worth artificial body, why don’t you calculate how much this session cost?"

Liu Zheng said while clenching his arm.

Niu Ma’s muscles felt like solid steel; using a tentacle to massage before was different. Only using an artificial body did he realize how tough it was, more exhausting than a fight.

"I won’t calculate. However much it costs, I don’t care, I’m not paying."

Talking about money woke up Niu Ma.

"Tch~"

After some small talk, Liu Zheng called Doctor Nile.

"Doctor, how is Yang Pinru?"

He asked.

"The injuries have stabilized, and Doctor Bai’s skills are truly robust. However, my newly developed arrow medicine also played a necessary role."

Doctor Nile said humbly yet confidently.

"Impressive, impressive. Can she move around now?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Mobility is okay, but self-activity will take at least three or four days."

Doctor Nile replied.

"Mobility is enough. I’ll have Green Shade Culture come to pick her up shortly."

He said.

"In such a hurry? That’s not like you."

Doctor Nile said surprised.

"Did Tianshi mention it to you? She survived because she used her mom as a buffer. Of course, her mom thought so too, just wasn’t successful."

Liu Zheng said flatly.

Rationally, he knew such behavior was commonplace in Metropolis, but emotionally, he couldn’t stomach it.

"I see. Alright, well, it’s your decision how to handle the people you bring."

Doctor Nile shrugged.

As dead, his emotions were originally quite thin, apart from the familiar people, he doesn’t care much about others’ life or causes of death.

"Mm."

Liu Zheng hung up and then called Wang Manni.

"Have your company come to the clinic to pick up the person."

He said.

"Okay, I’ll report it to the company immediately."

Wang Manni replied.

"Mm. No need for you to come, just have your company send more people."

Liu Zheng reminded.

The instigator might have traced to the clinic, and Yang Pinru might be attacked on the way to Green Shade Company.

"Okay, okay. The delivery man is really considerate."

Wang Manni’s voice was sweet enough to drip honey.

"Alright, that’s it."

He hurriedly hung up.

Having just eaten feed, this sugary remark was not tolerable.

Played some games when Ghost Hand crawled in from the door.

Liu Zheng handed over a handful of dried fish, hesitated for a few seconds before swallowing it.

"Crunch! Crunch!"

The sound of tooth-grinding chewing resounded.

"What is that noise? Did a mouse get into the resting room?"

Niu Ma turned over, puzzled.

"It’s the sound of chewing dried fish, Boss, want some?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"What kind of dried fish makes this noise? I have to try it."

"Here, catch."

Niu Ma took the dried fish thrown to it and put it in its mouth.

"Crunch! Crunch!"

The same sound came from its mouth.

"Damn, this is so damn hard. Is this dried fish? This is damn steel plate!"

Niu Ma complained.

Ghost Hand, still fighting the dried fish, nodded in agreement.

"Alright, I’ll tell Salmon to make it softer next time."

Liu Zheng shrugged.

If even Niu Ma thought it was hard, then it probably was; he should discuss with San Huamao since dried fish diplomacy is also part of his strategic diplomacy.

Liu Zheng picked up the delivery slip, looking at its content.

"Meal: A large portion of roasted Mamenchisaurus meat"

"Address: ’Imhotep’ Clinic 500 meters to the left"

"Orderer: Hennet"

"Time limit: One hour"

"Hmm?"

He looked at the delivery address, frowning deeply.

He had just asked Green Shade Culture to go to the clinic to pick up someone, and right after, someone ordered delivery to the vicinity of the clinic. It’s better to believe he’s the Supreme Councilman’s illegitimate child than to believe this is a coincidence.

So the question is, who placed the order?

It surely couldn’t be Green Shade Culture, so the remaining options are Red Forest Culture, Lin Family, Huang Family, and the group that kidnapped Lin Huang Jiao Jiao’s mother and daughter.

The most likely of these is the kidnappers; considering if other parties had the capacity to know Lin Pinru was at the clinic, they should also be capable of obtaining his contact info.

"Another fight coming?"

Liu Zheng sighed, stuffing several handfuls of feed into his mouth again.

"Is this stuff that good? Give me a few handfuls to try."

Niu Ma showed no interest in lessons learned, again asking him for food.

"Here you go."

Liu Zheng tossed a few lumps to it, unsurprisingly seeing a pained expression.

"What’s with your taste recently, always bringing difficult things to eat?"

Niu Ma cursed.

Though this feed tasted worse than dried fish, it still swallowed it all. Suffering from a difficult background really made one different.

"It’s not that I can’t afford gourmet food, but the feed offers better value. I’m going to deliver takeout."

Liu Zheng put away the delivery slip and walked out of the resting room.

This time the food box was extra-large; he opened the box to find a full plate of round-cut roasted meat.

"Name: A large portion of roasted Mamenchisaurus meat (single-use)"

"Type: Tool"

"Quality: Excellent"

"Effect: Restores a large amount of physical strength."

"Note: Tyrannosaurus tender meat balls, Canglong tender meat, Mamenchisaur meat both bouncy and tender."

"Is it exportable from the instance: Yes"

"So could you please tell me what kind of dinosaur meat this actually is?"

He couldn’t help but complain.

Packing the food box into the Legendary Takeout Box, the green light unsurprisingly triggered.

Actually, this order has the potential for issues, as it’s hard for non-professionals to tell what kind of dinosaur meat it is.

Good thing he has the Legendary Takeout Box; even if the meal preparation was incorrect, he could still identify it.

After once more marveling at the authority of the Legendary Deliveryman Set, Liu Zheng began considering the question of whether to call Niu Daji and the others for backup.
