Chapter 1017: Chapter 1017
"Consider this a gift from me."
Upon reaching the destination, the driver handed Liu Zheng a miniature cannon model, precisely the micro Gustav train cannon he had used for a bet last time.
"Name: Micro Gustav Train Cannon (One-time use)"
"Effect: Fires a powerful shell, the shorter the player's retreat distance from the recoil, the stronger the shell's power. If the player doesn't move an inch, the shell will penetrate and carry a dispelling effect."
"Note: If the range is far enough, there's no need to transport it to the front line! So Dr. Krupp, how would you aim?"
"Can it be taken out of the instance: Yes"
"No need, Colonel. This time, we need to detain people and items, so it's not useful."
Liu Zheng swallowed, but still declined.
Going to City Hall with the intent to stir up trouble and getting gifted this, he feared the driver might do something to him.
Though perfect-quality items are good, a stable and reliable partner is even more important.
The driver curled his lips, and the military motorcycle's exhaust pipe spewed out black smoke once more.
Then, the motorcycle and sidecar disappeared into thin air.
This is the ability of the stealth heavy military motorcycle, not visible to the naked eye, nor detectable even with infrared imaging and detection magic.
Liu Zheng had made up his mind. Next time he goes to cause trouble, he'll rent this bike, slipping quietly into the village, shooting without a sound, and see who dares to say he's heavy-handed.
He looked at the store in front of him, with the sign reading "Xingzhen Trading Company," looking even fancier than Saduo's shop.
"This name really doesn't hold back, huh."
Liu Zheng read it once and realized "Xingzhen" is a pun on "Criminal Investigation."
"Looks like the Criminal Investigation Bureau has gotten used to being cocky, no wonder they keep arresting beasts and seizing vehicles. Today, I'll show you what it means to punch with civic justice."
He concealed the murderous aura on his face and called Silver Wolf.
"Brother-in-law, I'm here."
As he spoke, a pickup truck drove over.
Silver Wolf got out of the car, accompanied by a plump dog.
"This is my brother-in-law, Liu Zheng."
It introduced, pointing to Liu Zheng.
"Hi there, Brother-in-law."
The plump dog waved a paw in greeting.
"This is my buddy, Lie Chang, call him Brother Liu."
Silver Wolf pointed to the plump dog again.
"Hello, Brother Liu."
Liu Zheng greeted politely.
"Good, good, truly a handsome talent."
"Brother Liu looks lifelike as well."
The man and the dog laughed together, shaking tentacles and paws in harmony.
Even though it was their first meeting, the two felt an inexplicable bond.
"Alright, cut the crap."
Silver Wolf gave them both a glare.
The two unruly guys together indeed compounded their unruliness, luckily it personally came along, otherwise who knows what mischief Lie Chang would get up to if he led alone.
The two quickly stood at attention.
"The others are in the car. Should we go in with you, or come in later to wrap up?"
"I'll go in first, gotta at least look the part."
"Alright. Here, when you need us, just blow this whistle."
Silver Wolf handed him a red plastic whistle.
He took the whistle and walked confidently into the store.
"Who are you, and who let you in?"
The attendant, who was playing on his phone, looked up and greeted him with hostility.
Liu Zheng pointed to his uniform.
"Yeah, so what? Planning to deliver food to me? You can come in, but you can't go out."
The attendant stood up, instantly transforming into a Werewolf over two meters tall, the shirt and trousers tearing under bulging muscles and steel-like fur.
"Uh, no, I just wanted you to see it. I'm here to buy something."
The Werewolf attendant looked at him and then at its own now-ruined clothes, creating an awkward scene.
"...You should've said so earlier!"
It said through gritted teeth.
"Who knew you tear your own clothes at the drop of a hat? You're a Werewolf, how are you this impulsive?"
"Mind your own business. We don't serve walk-in clients, get out fast."
The Werewolf attendant said impatiently. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs NoveIＦire.net
"You don't want me to compensate for your clothes?"
"This is Anima's new design, like you could afford to compensate, delivery boy. Forget it, I'm feeling generous, leave without paying, just go."
The Werewolf attendant hesitated but continued to grumble.
A gold bar was casually tossed to the ground.
Liu Zheng asked with a half-smile.
"You're actually gonna pay?"
Surprisingly, the Werewolf attendant wasn't overly excited.
"You're not planning to deliver food while I'm picking up the gold bar, right?"
It questioned suspiciously.
"How is a Werewolf more suspicious than a Vampire?"
He hopelessly opened the Legendary Takeout Box.
"See, no takeout, what am I going to deliver to you?"
"Don't pretend, you must be hiding it somewhere, who pays willingly, are you crazy?"
The Werewolf attendant still didn't believe him.
"Dude, is your last name Cao?"
Liu Zheng was left speechless.
Having been in the Metropolis for so long, it's his first time encountering such paranoia.
"What's it to you what my last name is? Stop getting close, either take your gold bar and leave or just leave."
The Werewolf attendant finally revealed its eagerness for the gold bar.
