The fourth day after entering the dungeon world.

Liu Zheng woke up to a sound of shouting.

He opened his eyes and found that Cow-Horse was doing sit-ups.

Given its size, the pressure it exerts on the ground is no less than that of a pile driver.

"Boss, do you think the foundation is not strong enough?"

Liu Zheng joked.

"You know how to hammer. I'm going to Paradise Island soon. I have to practice my waist strength quickly."

Cow-Horse said.

"What does Paradise Island have to do with waist strength training?"

"You kid, aren't you still a virgin?"

Cow-Horse looked at him crookedly.

"Hey, why are you scolding me all of a sudden?"

Liu Zheng said dissatisfied.

"Since you're not a virgin, you don't understand? Paradise Island's service standards are even higher than Black Market's."

Cow-Horse said with a longing expression.

"Aren't you going with your wife?"

Does the Cow-Horse family have so much fun?

"She has enough time to go shopping in those beauty and cosmetics stores, so how can she find the time to look for me? Moreover, if I just tell her that I am going fishing, she will stay there for three minutes at most and then she will lose her patience."

Cow-Horse said proudly.

"Bah! Scumbag."

he said with disdain.

"Humph, your own morals are too high, so don't blame others for their low morals. Besides, compared to other Cow-Horses, I'm already a model husband. At least I took my own wife with me on vacation."

Cow-Horse said plausibly.

"Your circle is really chaotic."

After chatting for a while, their cabinet rang.

Staff meals were delivered.

"Quick, quick, bring me your food."

Cow-Horse said excitedly.

"Are you really hungry?"

Liu Zheng took a step back to prevent it from going crazy with hunger and chewing him too.

"You know what the heck. Every time you finish helping in the kitchen, you will be given a good meal the next day, which is better than what is sold outside."

Cow-Horse said.

"Napoleon was offended so badly yesterday, will it happen again this time?"

"Although that old boy is petty, he is very trustworthy. As long as it doesn't say it's cancelled, it will definitely happen."

Cow-Horse replied.

"Okay."

Liu Zheng shrugged and took out his share of staff meals from the cabinet.

When he opened it, he immediately showed a disgusted expression.

One after another, rat heads were embedded in the dough and looked up at the starry sky. Rat meat trimmed into discs was arranged in a circle around the rat heads.

The cut rat tail is placed in the middle of the pizza, forming a typhoon-like shape.

"Name: Vampire Rat Family Pizza"

"Type: prop"

"Quality: Excellent"

"Effect 1: Recover a lot of physical strength."

"Effect 2: Obtain the 'Bloodthirst' status, which lasts for 72 hours."

"Remarks: A family must be neat and tidy."

"Can copies be taken out: Yes"

"Bloodthirst: During the duration of the state, a strong blood-sucking impulse will occur from time to time. When the blood-sucking impulse is not satisfied, all attributes will be reduced by 10 points. After being satisfied, all attributes will increase by 10 points. If you suck high-quality blood, there is a chance to obtain additional effects."

"Hey, isn't this the same nest of rats you fed to me?"

Cow-Horse said in surprise.

Liu Zheng was shocked, and after looking carefully, it was true.

The biggest rat head inside is the rat with gray fur.

He clearly remembered that it had a total of 53 beards, two more on the right than on the left.

"Hahaha, I won't compete with you this time."

"After all, they have poured your blood and bones into them."

Cow-Horse said with a wink.

Liu Zheng looked at the rat pizza with an uncertain expression.

"Of course, if you really don't want to eat, I can help you. You don't need to thank me too much."

Cow-Horse said thoughtfully.

He looked at the shrunken tentacles.

Although it is not displayed on the system panel, his real attributes have dropped by at least half.

Going out in such a state is basically courting death.

"I eat."

Liu Zheng picked up a piece of pizza and stuffed it into his mouth with his eyes closed.

The taste was not surprisingly good, even better than the pizza he had eaten in real life.

Rat meat has no peculiar smell, but has a texture similar to Wagyu beef.

But when he thought of their original appearance, Liu Zheng couldn't help but feel nauseated.

However, he still resisted his nausea and ate the entire plate of pizza.

Soon, Liu Zheng's stomach burned as if it was on fire.

The burning pain made his face distort.

But what was even more twisted was his body.

The skin of Liu Zheng rolls like mice running inside, constantly expanding and deforming.

During this change, his body size expanded like a balloon, even becoming larger than before.

It's just that during the reorganization, the remaining human skin was completely destroyed and turned into a chitin-like shell.

Liu Zheng looked at the dark and shiny tentacles and remained silent.

"Would you like to take a photo of Mirror?"

Cow-Horse asked in a wicked tone.

"No need."

He said calmly.

Cow-Horse seems to be happy to see him completely degenerate into an inhuman being.

But it doesn't know that as long as it clears the dungeon, it can change back to its original appearance.

Although the inhabitants of this world are strange and powerful, they are still frogs in the well.

And although he is weak, he has unlimited possibilities as long as he survives.

"Hey, what's your look like?"

Cow-Horse said unhappily.

"Nothing."

Liu Zheng glanced at it with pity and looked away.

He has decided to use Sick Leave Slip, but there is still some preparation work to be done before that.

"Boss, did you keep my wine?"

he asked.

"Tell me first what you just meant?"

Cow-Horse asked reluctantly.

"It's reverence, it's looking up, it's the ant looking up at the mountains with towering trees, it's the dove facing Phoenix's self-pity."

"What?"

Cow-Horse showed clear eyes.

"You are so awesome, I admire you so much."

Liu Zheng sighed.

"Hmph, you do have some knowledge. Here you go."

Cow-Horse pulled out three unused bottles from the pile of wine bottles and gave them to him.

"Thank you, boss."

Liu Zheng took the bottle, walked to the door and sat down.

Now just wait for that hand to appear.

After more than an hour, the movable board was finally pushed away.

Ghost Hand climbed in quietly, only to find Liu Zheng staring at it. He was at a loss for what to do and even forgot to put down the takeout order.

Liu Zheng remembered the rules and didn't say anything, but just placed three bottles of wine in front of it.

Faced with this situation, Ghost Hand made a fist with four fingers and pointed his index finger in the air, as if he was thinking.

After thinking for a long time, it spread its fingers, and a human mouth grew out of its palm.

Then, he swallowed three bottles of wine together with the bottles.

After a few seconds, a blush spread from the palm to the entire palm.

Ghost Hand, which was originally dry and rotten, now looks a little more vibrant.

It staggeredly put down the takeout order and climbed out of the lounge.

Nothing happened except the takeout order on the floor.

"Hahaha!!!"

Cow-Horse burst into laughter again.

"Are you dumbfounded? You think we are all just like me and that tree, and we are doing fair business with you. A certain person has been speculating every day, and this time he finally suffered a big loss."

It laughed so hard that the abdominal muscles it had just exercised started to hurt.

"It's just three bottles of wine. Just treat it as a good deed. If you have money, it's just willful."

Liu Zheng Although he was a little surprised, he didn't take it to heart.

It was just a casual move, and I didn't really expect to win with it.

He picked up the takeout order and looked at the information on it.

"Meal: Wood Elf milk"

"Address: West River Center E Block 403."

"Order: Manager Wang"

"Time limit: within forty minutes."

"Hey, it's not a community this time?"

And there are people ordering food.

Liu Zheng's expression changed slightly.

This takeout order doesn't feel like it will go well.
