"The young man used his fingers as a sword and cut off a large piece of flesh on his left arm, causing blood to flow."

"He also broke off the little finger of his left hand and threw it together with the skin and flesh in front of the grave."

"He said loudly, now I break my bones to return to my father, cut my flesh to return to my mother, and I will sever ties with you from now on."

"For this purpose of annihilating the family, you'd better hire someone else. Farewell!"

"After saying that, the young man jumped up and ran away."

There was an eerie silence in the Colosseum.

Anyway, the author, who is beginning to take shape, has a big puzzled expression on his face.

What the hell is this written about?

This thought flashed through the minds of all the authors present.

But it's so weird, let me take another look.

Finally, after the first author applauded, there was sparse applause in the Colosseum.

The applause was hesitant at first, but soon gathered into a sea of joy.

Amidst the applause, you can also hear a lot of wanton or reserved laughter.

"It has to be them humans."

Even Liu Zheng heard such words.

Hmm. I always feel like I have caused these weird residents to misunderstand Metropolis humans.

Forget it, he had been raped anyway, so everyone was even.

After the applause stopped, Black Cat also put away Liu Zheng's works.

"I believe that after reading the two entries, everyone has already made a judgment in their hearts."

"Of course, the final judgment of this competition belongs to me."

It winked playfully, causing laughter.

"Everyone must be very clear about the basis for the existence of the Writers Association. Without the continuous input of new blood, our value at the City Hall will continue to decrease."

"Therefore, for the purpose of encouraging newcomers, I have decided that the winner of this competition is Mr. Deliveryman from Bloodstained Restaurant."

"Everyone applaud!"

Black Cat took the lead in applauding, and other authors also applauded in cooperation.

Only Hishikibe looked at Liu Zheng with a distorted face, his eyes wishing to choose someone to devour.

Although she doesn't care about the prize given her wealth, even if she loses to someone else, she will hypocritically take the initiative to congratulate her.

But she couldn't bear to lose to that bitch concubine!

But now, Hishikibe still can't get it.

No matter how the members of the Writers Association form cliques and suppress newcomers in private, they must abide by the rules of the association on the surface.

And if you offend Black Cat or "Fool" on this matter, and if they complain to the president after they become the vice-presidents, you may really be demoted.

That was a consequence she couldn't bear.

Therefore, even if Hishikibe has already killed Novelist and Liu Zheng ten thousand times in his heart, he can only stand there motionless now.

"Now, I will award the prizes for this competition. Mr. Deliveryman, please come to the center of the square."

Black Cat said.

"Okay."

Liu Zheng nodded, and then took Novelist's hand.

"Let's go."

he said.

"Fool is calling you, senior."

Novelist whispered.

"But I am your male companion. I will not go anywhere without you."

Liu Zheng said arrogantly.

"Okay, okay."

She lowered her head and let Liu Zheng lead her down.

The moment he stepped out of the steps, Novelist looked back at Hishikibe, then smiled and wiped his neck.

Hishikibe's originally frighteningly white face suddenly turned blood red.

As they walked down the steps, countless eyes looked at them.

There are encouragements, warnings, and malicious intentions.

If it were before, Liu Zheng might still be a little uncomfortable, but now he is very calm.

After all, the eyes of those Eleventh Floor bugs are much nakeder than those of these writers.

Seeing his calm and composed appearance, the writers who had initially despised him gradually changed their attitudes.

Some writers who were female or whose gender was unclear even gave Liu Zheng ambiguous looks.

"Hmph!"

Novelist snorted coldly, and the invisible blade arm swept across, cutting off all those lines of sight.

Faced with her food-protecting behavior, the authors below Green Feather quickly looked away, for fear of being spotted by her.

But those authors above Gold Feather are indifferent and even make provocative actions.

Faced with this situation, Novelist has no good solution.

Within the Writers Association, the color of the feathers represents the level of achievement, as well as status and power.

Although she has a profound background, she cannot compete with so many Gold Feather authors at the same time.

In the final analysis, she still failed to achieve results in the field of long-form writing.

Even if Novelist is now a Red Feather author, others would not dare to take food from her plate so blatantly.

"When I go back, I must study the book "Dragon Clan" carefully and write a wonderful fanfic!"

She was secretly angry in her heart.

With the experience of a gold medal editor and the original works carefully selected by Liu Zheng, she is very confident this time.

The two came to Black Cat, who looked at Liu Zheng with admiration.

"I originally thought that Mr. Deliveryman was just a bit unique, but I didn't expect that he had such high attainments in literary creation. I am co-organizing a new publication, and you are welcome to contribute when the time comes."

"If you can become an author above Green Feather, I can help you ask the president to come forward and transfer your working relationship from Bloodstained Restaurant to the Writers Association."

"Of course, the condition is that the ownership of the word 'faith' on your body belongs to me."

Black Cat said.

What it means when translated is that the word "letter" is still on Liu Zheng, and it will be transferred when it feels it is ready.

"Writers Association are you so smart and smart Heaven-Piercing?"

Liu Zheng said in surprise.

If it's so awesome, then why aren't there any dots marked on the map?

"Writers Association is naturally not as good as Bloodstained Restaurant. But the most important thing about Bloodstained Restaurant is Restaurant itself. Individual employees are not important. But we at the Writers Association are different. Every writer can realize his or her own value."

Black Cat said.

Of course, if you are an ordinary member, it is naturally not enough for the Writers Association to come forward to negotiate. You must at least be Green Feather or above.

"Then thank you in advance for your kindness."

Liu Zheng said without interest.

Black Cat noticed his perfunctoriness, but didn't say much.

This Mr. Deliveryman seems to have just joined the job at first glance. You will know after working for a while.

In terms of status and power, Writers Association is certainly not as good as Bloodstained Restaurant.

But compared to the treatment and freedom, Bloodstained Restaurant is not as good as Writers Association.

It waved its claws, and a waiter immediately ran over dragging a tray.

Black Cat Unlock the red cloth on the tray. Under the red cloth are a red pill and a blue pill.

"This is the prize for this competition."

"For an author, this is a very valuable medicine. Many great authors wrote their famous works after taking them."

"But if you are not sure, it is best not to take it, especially not to take two pills together."

"Then I wish you to join our Writers Association family."

Black Cat handed the entire tray to Liu Zheng, and then patted his shoulder.
