Chapter 791: Chapter 791

Fei Shibu spoke with conviction.

Immortal species like them don’t pretend to be young. Instead, they all want to make themselves appear older, because age means wisdom and power.

"Stop playing around, quickly get to the point."

The novelist said helplessly.

"How is his matter even serious? Hee hee hee, hey, where are you touching? Stop stop stop."

Fei Shibu suddenly burst into giggles.

It’s not hard to imagine how intense the "battle" over there was.

Liu Zheng focused on his ears and nose, then his mind, trying hard not to let his imagination wander to strange places.

"Alright, alright, I can help you pass a message, but I can’t guarantee success."

Fei Shibu conceded under the novelist’s offensive.

"Then can you let Wa Chiang order takeout himself?"

He had a eureka moment.

"You want to get a free meal too, don’t you? Hee hee hee, alright, alright, I’ll give it a try, okay? Stop touching, or I’ll unleash my beastly nature."

Fei Shibu threatened in return.

"Thank you, Lady Fei Shibu, for your help."

Liu Zheng pretended to be unaware of what they were doing and said sincerely.

"You didn’t think I’d help you for free, did you?"

"Of course not, if you need anything, just let me know. As long as it’s within my ability, I’ll definitely do it."

Afraid this woman might suddenly flip out, he left some room in his words.

"Cunning man. I haven’t decided yet, I’ll let you know when I think of something."

"Okay, then I’ll leave it to you."

Liu Zheng hung up the phone.

People with Fei Shibu’s temperament and status generally don’t easily agree to things, but if they promise, they usually deliver.

So, he practically had the Green Garden Mad City Honorary Owner Medal in his hands.

Considering the outstanding nature of this community, that medal is quite valuable.

If he could also persuade the pajama boy to order takeout, then he could handle other things in one go, killing multiple birds with one stone.

"What are you smirking about over there?"

As Liu Zheng was lost in his pleasant daydreams, Niu Ma returned from outside.

"I thought of something happy."

He replied offhandedly.

"What’s the happy thing?"

Niu Ma asked offhandedly too.

"Your wife is having a baby."

Liu Zheng originally wanted to say this, but considering too much teasing might get him beaten up by Niu Ma, he chose to speak normally.

"I’m about to get another Honorary Owner Medal."

"You’re really working hard for that thing. You might as well spend that effort courting a few more girls."

"Everyone has their own uses for things. Having it is better than nothing."

He didn’t explain in detail either.

Niu Ma and he were not on the same path; what’s suitable for him might not be for Niu Ma.

"That’s as good as saying nothing."

Niu Ma rolled his eyes and lay back on the haystack.

"Hey, did you sleep on my bed again?"

As soon as it lay down, it exclaimed.

"No, I just saw some dust on the haystack and helped clean it up for you."

Liu Zheng acted innocent.

"That’s nonsense. My haystack is impervious to water and fire, it can’t possibly have dust."

"Then it must have been me sleepwalking. Don’t be mad, boss, next time I sleep, I’ll tie up my hands and feet."

He quickly changed his tune.

"You’re always making stuff up. Come over here and let me break your leg, and then I’ll believe you."

"Ah, there’s no need for that, is there?"

Though legs can grow back if broken, it would hurt a lot.

"Hurry up, or if I have to come over, it’ll be more than just your legs."

Niu Ma said ominously.

"Sigh, if the boss wants the little brother to die, the little brother has no choice but to perish."

Liu Zheng reluctantly moved towards Niu Ma.

Just when he thought he couldn’t escape a hoof beating, there was a knock on the lounge door.

He immediately made a hungry tiger pounce towards the door.

Niu Ma rolled his eyes but didn’t stop him.

Opening the door, he saw Salmon standing outside holding a packed food box, looking very obedient.

"Liu Zheng, I’ve brought you something, meow."

"Hmm hmm, Salmon is so capable."

Liu Zheng took the food box and took the opportunity to pet its head.

"The drink order is inside too, meow. Check it, if there are no problems, I’ll be on my way, meow."

"No rush, since you’re here, you can take the kitchen’s share back too."

Liu Zheng turned and brought out two boxes.

He didn’t know the exact number of people in each department, so he estimated and set aside the meals.

Considering the relationship between the delivery department and the kitchen, he naturally had to ensure everyone in the kitchen got one, and if there weren’t enough meals left, well, there was nothing he could do.

"Here, drink while you wait."

Liu Zheng handed a cup of apricot iced tea to Salmon.

Salmon held the cup and started drinking.

He petted it again, then opened the meal box.

Inside were two steamed, swollen, purple feet that seemed to come from a baby based on their size.

Liu Zheng frowned and looked at the item description.

"Name: Steamed Oedipus’ Feet (One-time)"

"Effect One: Restores a small amount of stamina, fixes defects."

"Effect Two: Guarantees a correct answer in the next riddle (cannot exceed player’s capability limit)."

"Note: Made from the feet of the mythical figure who killed his father and married his mother, using secret rejuvenation techniques. Effective when feeding to the Sphinx."

"Can it be taken out of the instance: Yes"

"This time the note isn’t a riddle master."

He commented sarcastically.

Of course, he knew Oedipus, the classic tragic figure from Greek mythology, abandoned by his father due to an oracle that he’d kill him and marry his mother. Not knowing his parents, he truly ended up killing his father and marrying his mother.

Upon learning the truth, he couldn’t accept it and chose to leave his country. His mother hanged herself, and his sons, born to his mother, killed each other fighting for the throne. A complete tragedy.

And Oedipus was the one who solved the Sphinx’s riddle, making it ashamed. So, it makes sense for the Sphinx to like eating his feet.

However, these two feet were obviously not authentic, just fakes made from the feet of someone with a similar fate.

To make it fit the myth, this unfortunate soul must have unknowingly killed their father and married their mother.

Finding someone like that would be quite troublesome, and it’s not easy to raise one either. No wonder White Feather Chicken said it was expensive.

Come to think of it, this method is quite like how the Feather Pen Club makes the "Joy Turns to Sorrow" item.

"Indeed, the world is full of the same dark crows."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

Though he found this behavior disgusting, he didn’t plan to destroy the dish.

The Metropolis was ; he could only pretend not to see and save as many as he could.

Storing the "Steamed Oedipus’ Feet," Liu Zheng picked up the drink order for a look.

An entire page densely packed, with over a hundred types.

"What about the payment and delivery?"

The liquor ordered by the Bloody Restaurant wouldn’t be cheap. The bill would easily be in the millions, which he couldn’t afford to cover.

"Charge it and settle it together, the liquor is also delivered by the brewery itself, meow."

"Boss said, you can choose to restock while delivering takeout, or you can choose to restock specifically. By specifically restocking, you get three hours. If you don’t finish by then, boss will make you into Black Mountain Goat Cub paste, meow."

San Huamao continued. The most update n0vels are published on novelꞁire.net

"When do the three hours start?"

"From the moment you tell the boss you’re going out to restock, meow."

Hearing this, he started thinking.

If he first completes the restocking task during his takeout delivery, then tells White Feather Chicken he’s going to restock, he’d essentially get three hours of outing time.

Adding on the takeout delivery time, he might have enough time to get to the Ten Thousand Great Mountains.
