"Are Customer Service Department people difficult to deal with?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"The others are fine, that guy Britannia."

Cow-Horse sucked his teeth.

"It's become more and more perverted since it disappeared. Everyone is afraid of it except the boss."

"Boss, you won't be able to defeat it, right?"

"Can't beat it."

Cow-Horse admitted it honestly.

"My, Napoleon, and Britannia's strengths are basically the same."

"But that guy has no worries now, and his personality is becoming more and more extreme. If you really fight with it, it will fight for your life, even if it burns into nothingness, it doesn't matter."

"Then can such a person be the boss of the Customer Service Department?"

Si Xue Aren't you afraid that it will offend major customers?

"So that guy is a pervert. He doesn't show his teeth when dealing with customers, he just fights hard with Restaurant people."

Cow-Horse slapped the thigh.

"I understand, it turns out he is a liar."

Liu Zheng said disdainfully.

What he looked down upon the most were these guys who were experts in civil war and amateurs in foreign war.

"The nest is full of evil, there's no need for it and I really don't want to provoke it."

"Then help me bring some white paint and needlework from Kitchen."

Liu Zheng settle for the next best thing.

There must be these Kitchen, Napoleon Skinning and Stuffing used needle and thread last time.

"This is fine."

Cow-Horse ti took the coffee and went out, and came back soon.

"Napoleon said that Vlad III is out of stock, but it knows where to find it and gives you two choices."

"Which two options?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"The first option is to give it to you directly, but to use up that favor, you have to transfer to Kitchen."

"No, no, no."

He immediately shook his head.

If you go to Kitchen without mercy, what is the difference between that and seeking death?

Napoleon's family has a big business and a strict temperament, but Cow-Horse, who is short of money, is not as easy to talk to.

"I guess you won't choose either. The second option is that it tells you the address and you go buy it yourself. This is free."

Cow-Horse gestured to Liu Zheng to reach out and spit out a piece of paper.

"Yunmeng Road 18 Du Kang Liquor Shop."

He opened the map and took a look. It was northeast of Bloodstained Restaurant, about 13 kilometers away.

"Napoleon said that this wine is not easy to buy. If you feel something is wrong, just say it was sent by him to purchase it. You should be able to avoid trouble."

"But if you don't feel it, then it's your fault for seeking your own death."

Cow-Horse added.

"It's okay, there's no rush in this matter anyway."

After Liu Zheng finished speaking, he took off the cosmetic items from its corners.

The needle and thread are available, and so is the white paint.

However, it doesn't look like it's lime or lead powder.

He dipped a little bit in it and rubbed it with his two tentacles, feeling that the texture was very rough.

It also has strong adsorption power, so it is quite suitable to be used as a paint.

"This is the fine powder of White-Phosphorus Moth. It can be used as paint without fading for hundreds of years. What's the disadvantage?"

Cow-Horse drawled his voice.

Just as it was speaking, the areas where the two tentacles were stained with fine powder were already burning.

"The disadvantage is that if it is stained with flesh and blood, it will keep burning until the place it touches is burned to ashes."

Cow-Horse finished the sentence with satisfaction.

"What you said was really timely."

Liu Zheng expressionlessly cut off the burning part of the tentacle.

Fortunately, he only got a little bit of it, otherwise he would have had to eat dried fish again.

"It's necessary, people don't know my nickname Cow-Horse is Timely Rain."

Cow-Horse said cheerfully.

You're just a food delivery guy, but you're just as good as a Shenxing Taibao.

Too lazy to bother with it, Liu Zheng called Nightingale.

"Nightingale? I'm the one who delivers the food."

"Oh? Tell me."

Nightingale's voice sounds a little busy.

"Meet you at the Rose Street Sewer entrance at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon,"

He looked at his phone and said.

"Okay, do you need me to help you prepare fishing gear?"

Nightingale said generously.

"Ah? Sewer Don't you have to catch the fish yourself?"

Liu Zheng asked in confusion.

"Although I don't know who told you, it must be playing tricks on you."

Nightingale held back his laughter.

Well, she couldn't help it.

"Hahaha!!!"

The sound of her laughter is very similar to the singing voice of Nightingale.

"Boss, aren't you going to explain?"

Liu Zheng looked at Cow-Horse.

"Napoleon said it, I'm just paraphrasing it."

The latter looked innocent.

"What a stupid White-Feather Chicken. Then please help me prepare a set."

He said to Nightingale.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll do anything to you?"

"A person like you should be disdainful of such small tricks. Besides, if I want to use Fisherman, you won't agree, right?"

"Smart. Even among humans, you belong to the smart category. When my board game bar opens, I will definitely recruit you."

Nightingale's tone is full of aggression.

"Then I wish you good luck in opening Daji."

Liu Zheng said perfunctorily, and then hung up the phone.

Waiting for you to open your business? I will have left this dungeon long ago when you have opened your business.

If you can dig me out of the system, then what if I do it with you?

He called Fisherman again and informed the time.

"Boss, remember to protect me if there is an emergency later."

Liu Zheng took out Black Koi and took a deep breath.

"I just want to watch the show."

Cow-Horse said happily, and even took out half a bottle of wine from the cabinet.

"I have basically convinced Dai Lego to cooperate with you."

"That tree is just as dry as it is without it."

Cow-Horse's eyes moved slightly, but he still spoke harshly.

"If I can convince Fisherman to supply you, how much do you think you can earn?"

Liu Zheng said again.

"Don't worry, even if a meteorite hits you today, I will push it back for you."

Cow-Horse stood up, patted his chest and said.

"Hey, don't just set a flag for me."

He was cruel, gritted his teeth, opened his mouth and swallowed Black Koi.

The fresh fish meat turned directly into liquid and flowed to his intestines and stomach through his esophagus.

Strictly speaking, the taste is not bad, it feels like drinking concentrated fish soup.

But Liu Zheng was in no mood to reminisce, because as the system prompt sounded, his biological instinct felt a creeping sense of crisis.

It feels like a Hutch mixed in Wolf Pack.

You know that the next moment you will be bitten and eaten by Wolf Pack, but you don't know when the next moment will come.

Liu Zheng quickly used Boning Knife to pull open the mouthparts, and fixed the cracked edge like last time.

Then he applied White-Phosphorus Moth Powder on his face.

This time Liu Zheng only applied a very thin layer, but the effect was quite good.

A layer as thin as a cicada's wings made his face whiter than albinism.

He looked at the slowly burning face in Mirror and felt that he was more like the Ghost Rider than the Joker.

"'Lucky Clown Card' has taken effect."

Fortunately, the system prompts came as promised.

"Huh~"

Liu Zheng took a long breath, and the feeling of chills finally alleviated a little.

"Is it that exaggerated? You kid made me nervous."

Cow-Horse complained.

"When was your worst luck?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"That time two years ago, I went to Old District to deliver food, but I met Harmony Cultists doing a ceremony. The key is that they succeeded in killing each other, Gan!"

Cow-Horse recalled.

"What's the result?"

"Of course the result was almost a burp. If the reward of 'Outstanding Employee' hadn't happened to be useless, I would probably be squirming in the dark in some corner now."

Cow-Horse said.

"Then the way I feel now is probably similar to the way you saw the ceremony succeed."

"Stop talking. If you say anything else, I'll get stressed out."

Cow-Horse also shuddered.

Just as two patients with stress disorder were facing each other, Cow-Horse's cell phone rang.

As soon as it saw the caller number, its expression suddenly changed.

"Damn it, your kid's bad luck won't be passed on to me, right?"

It mumbled and answered the phone.

"Boss, are you looking for me?"

"Oh, okay. Yes, I will take him there right away."

Cow-Horse hung up the phone and looked at Liu Zheng with a look of pity.

"Let's go, the boss invites you."
