"The task content is to help the front desk of 'Red Witch' Board-Game Hall grab the inheritance. She will get 40%, I will get 20%, and you two will share 40%."

Liu Zheng said.

"We can only divide it into 30%."

Nightingale shook his head and said.

"What do you mean?"

Does this also include reverse bargaining?

His charm value isn't that ridiculously high, right?

"But there is a condition."

"Can you speak without gasping? What are the conditions?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"You must come with us."

Nightingale said.

"Why?"

"We can't trust her, and she certainly can't trust us. If something unexpected happens, it will probably lead to a fight between us."

"With you here, there is a buffer zone for this balance of terror."

Nightingale said.

"Hmm"

He fell into thinking.

What this bitch said is not unreasonable.

Vampire Girl, Sea Woman, and Nightingale are relatively important connections. It would be a pity if they were lost.

Although considering the strength factor, the probability of Vampire Girl being killed is relatively high.

But the territory of old Vampire is also considered her home field, and the possibility of counterattack is not impossible.

When Fisherman asks him for someone, he will be numb.

With the three of them here this time, the danger of Liu Zheng will be greatly reduced.

"Okay, it's settled then. You agree on the time, and then order takeout and call me."

He said after thinking about it for a while.

"Okay."

As for the cost of ordering takeout, that was naturally negotiated by the three of them.

"I'm really gone this time."

Liu Zheng stood up again.

"Are you going to go out through the gate?"

Nightingale looked at him with a half-smile.

"Yeah, what's the problem?"

"I advise you to change your route. You have just offended a lot of people."

Nightingale said.

"What other routes are there?"

"Well, isn't this it?"

Nightingale pursed his lips towards the floor-to-ceiling windows.

"Sister, this is the 12th floor."

"What are you afraid of? It's just a little higher, and you can't fall to death."

Nightingale disagrees.

"Okay."

He sighed and stood by the window.

Anyway, it's not the first time I've jumped off a building. The last time I jumped from a floor was much higher than this.

It's just that no one gave him points or awards this time.

Liu Zheng opened its four tentacles, faced the sun, took a deep breath, and jumped.

The strong wind blowing against his face stung his eyes and filled his ears.

However, he could still hear Nightingale's barbell-like laughter.

"Is this woman fooling me?"

In deep doubt, Liu Zheng hit the ground.

Fortunately, there is a circle of grass next to the apartment.

In addition, the floor was lower and he was more experienced this time, so his injuries were much less severe than last time.

It's just hemiplegia and displacement of internal organs.

After lying flat on the ground for a while, Liu Zheng struggled to stand up and walked out of the apartment.

"Young man, come to me when you have figured it out. Auntie's door will always be open for you."

A loud voice boomed behind him.

Liu Zheng shivered and looked towards the security room.

The aunt had stripped down to her purple underwear, and a huge shadow filled the entire security room. Under the giant shadow's crotch was a shriveled and thin shadow.

"Hiss!"

He took a breath of cold air, escaped from the apartment regardless of the pain all over his body, and ran in the direction of Bloodstained Restaurant.

"Isn't your kid looking for a mistress? Why do you act like you've seen a ghost?"

Looking at Liu Zheng who was in shock, Cow-Horse asked strangely.

"It's hard to explain. I saw that Nightingale really couldn't squeeze out any profit, so I introduced Vampire Girl's work to them."

"When the time comes when I take the inheritance from old Vampire, I will get 30%, and I will give you 10%, big boss."

He said proactively.

"Well, if you're a good boy, I won't beat you this time."

Cow-Horse said with satisfaction.

Although the 10% ratio is not high, it is fun to get it for free.

"Boss, can you tell me more about Borderlands?"

Liu Zheng sat back on his bench and asked.

Anyway, idle time is idle.

Of course, he was just curious and would not go crazy to sneak across the border.

"What are you talking about? I don't know much myself."

Cow-Horse said.

"Since people from our city can go out, can people from other places also come in?"

"That's for sure. I heard that guy say that many races in our city moved in from outside. But just like people who leave the country, they forget what's going on outside as soon as they come in."

Cow-Horse replied.

"Then which races moved in from outside?"

"You humans moved in from outside, and you are the earliest and largest group. I don't know about the others."

Cow-Horse said.

"Then what do those who are allowed to leave the country do?"

"Part of it is to do business, part of it is to find a suitable race to move in, and the rest is unknown."

Cow-Horse said.

"Is the ocean considered internal or external?"

Liu Zheng reminds me of that Mermaid Princess.

She even asked herself to go to the beach to find her.

"Part of it is within the territory, but I don't know which part it is."

"Anyway, that boy relayed something his relatives said."

"What words?"

Liu Zheng asked cooperatively.

"Borderlands is much bigger than you think, and much smaller than you think."

Cow-Horse said.

"I don't understand."

"I don't understand either, but it doesn't matter. I don't even understand this Restaurant. Why do you care about how big Borderlands is?"

Cow-Horse shrugged.

Indeed, Liu Zheng estimates that Delivery Passage doesn't know anything about the sidetracks.

Of course, there is no need to say it.

However, the matter of Borderlands is quite important to him.

Since Hell Game can get him to this Eerie City, then he should also be able to get him outside this city.

The next dungeon world will most likely be a world other than Eerie City.

If that's the case, the connections Liu Zheng accumulated in Eerie City might still be useful.

For example, Si Xue, with Bloodstained Restaurant's status, should have the authority to purchase ingredients abroad.

I just don't know if I can still contact the guys at Eerie City by then.

Of course, all this is based on the fact that his next copy is in the same world as Eerie City.

If Liu Zheng's guesses are all wrong, then his plan will be in vain.

Therefore, when encountering a critical situation, favors will still be used.

"If you really have nothing to do, kid, just play chess with me."

Cow-Horse took out a set of Go and said.

"Huh?"

Liu Zheng was even more shocked than when I saw a rooster laying eggs.

Cow-Horse, who can fall asleep instantly while reading Sudoku magazines, can actually play chess, and even Go?

"Look at whatever you want. I have a lot of things to play with."

Cow-Horse said proudly.

"Then why didn't you take it out before?"

Liu Zheng said speechlessly.

If he had taken it out earlier, he wouldn't have had to stare at it.

"Who knew how long your kid could live before? What if you went to deliver the food before the plate was finished and never returned it, then I would be killed."

Cow-Horse said confidently.

He opened his mouth, but couldn't refute.

Especially since a game of Go can last for at least several hours, it is indeed very easy for the situation mentioned by Cow-Horse to occur.

If you have a good hand and are waiting to slay the dragon ten steps later, but your opponent burps, it will be really unpleasant.

"Now, I see you are quite capable of jumping. You should not be dead in the next game or two."

Cow-Horse said with unclear praise or blame.

"Okay. Then boss, you go first?"

Liu Zheng rode the bench to Cow-Horse.

According to the rules of Go, the black player plays first.

"I'm the boss, so of course I go first."

Cow-Horse does his part.

"How many meshes will be posted?"

Black has an advantage in the layout, so it has to give a little bit to White when calculating the outcome, which is called sticking to the goal.

According to different rules in each country, the number of stickers is also different.

"What is Tiemu?"

Cow-Horse asked rhetorically.

"Uh, it's nothing. Boss, please continue."

Looking at Cow-Horse, who didn't pretend to understand, Liu Zheng had an ominous premonition.

"Boy, today I'm going to let you see my Cow-Horse's First Move."

Cow-Horse picked up a black stone with his hoof and slapped it hard on the chessboard.

It was so powerful that it shook the whole lounge.

Fortunately, this chessboard didn't seem to be ordinary, and it didn't crack on the spot.

But Liu Zheng cracked on the spot.

Because Cow-Horse's First Move, the next one is Tengen.

How do you explain this behavior to a friend who doesn't understand Go?

It's probably equivalent to playing the general first in chess, playing black eight in the first shot in billiards, and playing king first in Fight the Landlord.

Handsome means really handsome, and smelly means really smelly.

"Boss, may I ask, who did you learn to play Go from?"

he asked implicitly.

"You taught yourself from children's books, what happened?"

"It's nothing, it's pretty good."

Looking at its clear and confused eyes, Liu Zheng said with difficulty.

He realized in his heart that this would probably be the most difficult game of Go he had ever played.

After all, if you want to lose to a Rookie that started with Tengen without leaving any trace, it will not only test your chess skills.

Although Liu Zheng had tried his best to underestimate Cow-Horse's strength, Cow-Horse still gave him a surprise.

Even though he had almost mastered Go to Gomoku, Cow-Horse still lost to him in three out of six games.

This directly caused Cow-Horse to be full of fighting spirit, while Liu Zheng was desperate for life.

The Go marathon lasted until eight o'clock in the evening. Cow-Horse didn't grab the employee's meal in the middle, but urged him to finish eating quickly and play chess.

Of course, the quality of these two employee meals was not very good, so they temporarily gave him a little more physique and strength.

The drinks are really good, a bottle of Excellent Grade fruit wine and a cup of Excellent Grade milk tea.

I drank the milk tea Liu Zheng myself, and the effect was that I could get a slight therapeutic effect when drinking dairy products.

The fruit wine is saved and will be given to French Plane Tree when the time comes.

It wasn't until Ghost Hand came in and put down the takeout order that Cow-Horse reluctantly put away the chessboard.

"Come back and continue the fight. Today I will fight you until dawn."

it shouted.

"Maybe it will be dawn when I come back. Next time, next time for sure."

Liu Zheng said quickly.

"Okay, then you go deliver your takeaway. I'm going to bed first."

Cow-Horse took out the Sudoku magazine and lay down on Haystack, and the snoring started immediately.

"Huh, I finally escaped."

He burst into tears.

If he continues to play, his chess skills will regress back to the kindergarten level.

Picking up the takeout order, it turned out to be Vampire Girl's order.

"Meal: A large portion of French fries"

"Address: Cemetery Tombstone No. 18703."

"Order: Nightingale"

"Time limit: three hours"

"Hmm"

Looking at the delivery address, Liu Zheng felt like he had something to vomit, but he didn't know where to start.

It can only be said that disco dancing in mourning halls is just a clumsy performance in the real world, and takeout at the grave is the cultural confidence of Eerie City.
