"Tick tock."

"Tick tock."

Blood continued to flow from Liu Zheng's wounds and dripped on the cage beneath him.

A nest of white-haired mice with blood-red eyes looked forward eagerly, rushing to lick every drop of blood.

And their actions are very systematic. Each mouse can only lick once before changing to another one.

The only exception was a mouse with a few tufts of gray hair, which could be licked twice.

Liu Zheng noticed that its eyes were older than other mice, but also clearer.

He even counted it clearly. The mouse had 53 whiskers in total.

There are two more on the right than on the left.

The reason why I do such boring things is of course because Liu Zheng is boring.

He was currently hung on the wall by White-Feather Chicken, with several drills piercing his limbs and chest.

Those drill bits would also keep spinning to prevent his blood from clotting.

"When are you going to put me down?"

After counting the gray fur of the gray mouse again, Liu Zheng finally couldn't bear it anymore.

The second thing is that it hurts. The most important thing is that it's boring.

And being put in such a position, he felt a little ashamed.

He is already Tentacle Monster. If he is regarded as a PLAY enthusiast, he will have no idea.

"Just hang on and wait until you finish helping the kitchen."

Cow-Horse replied while shaking the flying pancake.

It does have two brushes on the pastry, and the flying cake can be used as a quilt.

"When will you finish helping the kitchen?"

"There are still five or six hours left."

Cow-Horse looked at the wall clock.

"Oh, it's better to deliver takeout."

Liu Zheng lamented.

It's free and easy, and you can brag and fart with French Plane Tree.

"You only know now. If you had entered Service Department or Kitchen at the beginning, I would have been able to eat the staff meals made by you."

Cow-Horse laughed.

"I think you're PUAing me, and I have proof."

"Then if you don't want your job to be transferred, I'll help you tell your boss, and she will definitely agree."

Cow-Horse rolled his eyes.

"Then there's no need. One day is Deliveryman, and my whole life is Deliveryman. No matter how good other places are, they can't place my soul."

Liu Zheng said with a pious look.

"The soul can also be made into food, do you want to try it?"

White-Feather Chicken put down the half-carved radish in his hand and cast a sharp look at the two lazy people.

"."

Liu Zheng tilted his head and fell into a baby-like sleep.

Cow-Horse shook the pie even harder, apparently planning to make a carpet for Kitchen.

"Hmph, Delivery Department's joy."

After showing off his power, White-Feather Chicken continued to immerse himself in carving radish.

Judging from the shape, it should be carved with the Eighteen Arhats.

When the clock reached ten o'clock in the evening, the kitchen service finally ended.

By the time Liu Zheng was put down, he had shrunk to half of his original size.

"Deserved it."

Cow-Horse has no sympathy at all.

He rolled his eyes, not bothering to argue with it.

"Are you leaving, meow?"

Calico Cat jumped over.

"Yeah. Nice to meet you."

Liu Zheng smiled, stretched out his hand and scratched its chin.

He very much suspected that Calico Cat actually knew what he had done, but did not report him for unknown reasons.

"Nice to meet you too, meow."

Calico Cat narrowed his eyes comfortably.

The man's face appeared again, looking at him warily, but he didn't say anything else.

"Napoleon, let's go."

Cow-Horse said hello.

White-Feather Chicken waved his hand perfunctorily and walked towards the straw nest in the corner.

Back in the lounge, Cow-Horse stretched out his hoof again.

"Bring it here."

"What for?"

Liu Zheng pretended to be stupid.

"It's money to buy your life. If I didn't protect you, it would be weird if White-Feather Chicken didn't kill you."

Cow-Horse glared.

"It has no evidence, so why should it kill me?"

He argued hard.

"Evidence? Restaurant only needs rules, not evidence."

Cow-Horse sneered.

"Hurry up, or you'll be beaten if you don't pay me."

"Beef steak skin."

Liu Zheng mumbled dissatisfiedly, but still took out the banknotes.

"It's Cow-Horse."

Cow-Horse emphasized, returned to his nest with a smile on his face, and then fell asleep.

It had been making pasta for a day and was very tired.

Liu Zheng also sat on his own bench. After his body became smaller, sitting on the bench became much more comfortable.

Cow-Horse was snoring so loudly that he couldn't sleep for a while, so he simply started to clean up his harvest.

Currently, he owns a total of eight items.

The first item, "Human-Bone Crutch".

This is the first item obtained by Liu Zheng. The effect is simple and practical.

The 10% speed bonus may not seem like much, but after all his attributes have increased significantly, this bonus becomes very objective.

Normally delivering food is just the icing on the cake, but when you run away it can come in handy.

The second item, "Legendary Deliveryman's Vest".

This is the first perfect item obtained by Liu Zheng, and it is also his most powerful equipment.

The effect is simple and powerful. Without Legendary Disguise, he would not be able to walk upright in this copy world.

The third item, "Legendary Deliveryman's Delivery Box".

The second perfect item obtained by Liu Zheng is also one of Legendary Deliveryman Set's.

This is considered a developmental prop. As long as he delivers enough takeaways, the income brought by this prop will even exceed its own quality.

The fourth item, "Sick Leave Slip".

This is a double-edged sword prop that avoids one risk but also brings another risk.

Whether you should use it or not, Liu Zheng needs to be reconsidered.

The fifth item, "Jiahe New Residence Honorary Homeowner Medal".

After collecting five owner medals, you can travel unimpeded in most communities in the city, and orderers will no longer refuse takeout.

Once he owns the Legendary Deliveryman Set and Honorary Homeowner Medal sets, it will be basically no difficulty to deliver food.

He even has the confidence to compete for the title of "Outstanding Employee", which makes him a little excited.

The sixth item, "Tindalos Chew Toy (disposable)".

This prop is amazing. Although the quality is not high, its power is impressive.

The kind that can take him and the enemy away together.

Liu Zheng will definitely not be used until you are in a desperate situation.

Of course, it's also very useful to use occasionally to scare people.

The seventh item, "Round God Cult Token".

This was given to him by the chief priest Garcia. Don't worry, there must be something fishy in it.

But Liu Zheng doesn't intend to throw it away either.

What if it comes in handy one day?

After all, even a piece of toilet paper has its uses.

The eighth item, "Enhanced Heart of the Ocean".

This item has been strengthened twice and its effect has become quite good.

Although it is only of excellent quality, the effect under certain circumstances is not much worse than the perfect quality Legendary Disguise.

Moreover, because it can replace the absorbed soul, it can barely be regarded as a growth item.

The point is, it can be brought out of the copy.

Currently, among the items owned by Liu Zheng, only "Heart of the Ocean" and "Human-Bone Crutch" can bring out copies.

No matter how good the other props are, they have expired and become useless.

I don't know if there will be a subsidy when the copy is settled, otherwise it would be a bit of a loss.

After cleaning up the items, Liu Zheng felt so awesome.

Although he didn't know what other players were like, he intuitively felt that the difficulty of his copy was definitely abnormal.

From the moment he entered the dungeon, his journey was like a murderous one.

Relying on 30% wit, 70% ruthlessness and 90% luck, Liu Zheng has survived until now.

However, luck will not always favor him, even if he is really a clown.

If you want to clear the level with an A-level rating or above and meet the conditions of "Betting Agreement" without being wiped out, the minimum requirement of surviving for 72 hours is far from enough.

He must get Legendary Deliveryman’s Hat and put together the first piece of the puzzle for success.

Liu Zheng looked through the door of the lounge and looked at the crisis-ridden world outside.
