"Sanity Decline Immunity Success."

The system prompts arrived as scheduled.

Fire Tears fell to the ground and burned the pool of blood to dry up.

Liu Zheng couldn't help but wonder if Deer Head would have created an artificial lake if he didn't shed tears.

He bypassed Deer Head and walked into the coffee shop.

"Welcome to Bad-Luck Coffee."

The busy clerks stopped what they were doing and shouted in unison.

In other words, they were originally the same person.

A heart is suspended in mid-air, and several thick blood vessels extend around, connecting the store clerks one by one.

Their bodies only have the front half, and all their organs and bones are exposed in the air.

"Want to order?"

A clerk floated over, and his blood vessel almost became entangled with the one next to him.

Liu Zheng Then I saw that they didn't have lower bodies either.

"I'd like a cup of Orange C Iced Americano, half sugar. A cup of raw coconut hot latte, standard sugar."

He ordered the coffee that the cleaning lady ordered first.

"Get all the coffee again, all with ice and half sugar."

He didn't remember how many people there were in Kitchen, so he might as well order more.

Isn't it strange that there are so many people?

"Okay. Half the sugar will be a little bitter, is that okay?"

the clerk asked.

"Okay."

Kitchen It's impossible not to have sugar. If you find it bitter, just add it yourself.

"I'll give you a group purchase discount, totaling 1,000 yuan."

the clerk said.

The price of half a bottle of Ascension Hair Moss is not expensive at all.

Liu Zheng Hand over the banknotes.

"Can you handle so much coffee? We can help you deliver it to the designated location."

The clerk said enthusiastically.

"Do you also have takeout service?"

he said in surprise.

He thought that takeout was monopolized by Bloodstained Restaurant.

"Normally we don't give them away, but we do give preferential treatment to group buying customers like you."

the clerk replied.

"Okay. Then you can send it to me Bloodstained Restaurant. The orderer should write Outstanding Employee Cow-Horse."

Liu Zheng said.

It's really hard for him to hold so much coffee.

And since there was no Legendary Disguise bonus on the way back, he wouldn't have the energy to protect the coffee if something happened.

"Okay. If you send it to Bloodstained Restaurant, there will be an additional charge of 1,200 yuan."

"It's a money grab. The coffee is only 1,000, and your delivery fee is higher than the food."

Liu Zheng frowned.

"Sir, don't be angry yet. This 1,200 is not a delivery fee."

The clerk explained.

"What's that?"

"It's employee depreciation."

The clerk said with a smile.

"According to our experience, Deliveryman who went to Bloodstained Restaurant will definitely not come back."

"Ahem, that's it."

Liu Zheng is a little embarrassed.

Although he also belongs to the category of being eaten, he is also Restaurant after all.

"So, it is reasonable for us to charge some employee depreciation fees. Right?"

The clerk said calmly.

"Reasonable and reasonable."

Liu Zheng offered 1,200 yuan.

If it was given to someone else, he would be a little reluctant to part with it.

But he also has to help French Plane Tree steal things from Kitchen, so these coffees are worth it.

As long as Cow-Horse is still here, this favor should be recovered.

Besides, there is Salmon here, and that Calico Cat should be talking about friendship.

As long as the strength is enough.

Thinking of this, Liu Zheng suddenly had an idea.

"Do you sell desserts here?"

"Yes, here are the new products that have just been released."

The clerk showed the menu.

Liu Zheng randomly selected a few items and bought a few extra cups of coffee.

"Is there anything else you need? Sir."

The clerk asked after taking the money.

"No more."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

"Then sir, you still need to pay my tip."

the clerk said.

"Huh?"

He has the look of an old man taking a subway phone.

No, you are a cashier, why should you charge a tip?

Even European and American cafes don't have this rule, right?

"I'm sorry, sir, this is our store's rule."

The clerk said in an apologetic tone.

"How much?"

Liu Zheng asked angrily.

He had spent so much money before, so he would have endured it if it wasn't much.

Delivering food is important.

"Just one face is enough."

The clerk kept smiling.

???

Liu Zheng's hair stands on end.

He finally knew why the cleaning lady smiled so weirdly?

She definitely knows when to tip.

The faces of the people in the office building are all painted, so they can't all be because of tips.

He thought about it and was very frightened.

"What if I don't give it?"

Liu Zheng asked tentatively.

"Then we can only let you join us."

All the employees said in unison.

They all floated over, surrounded Liu Zheng, and looked at him expressionlessly.

"Welcome to the Bad-Luck Coffee family."

"Join us and you will be safe from all luck."

"Join us and you will escape all the good things."

"Join us and you will escape all individuality."

"Join us and you will escape all reality."

"But you'll lose your worries."

"But you lose the pain."

"But you will lose your hunger."

"But you will never be fired."

"Work, eternal work!"

"Join us!"

"Join us!"

The clerks said loudly.

Their voices are getting faster and faster, and they are becoming more and more rhythmic.

By the end, it was like reciting scripture.

"Hello?"

Liu Zheng blocked one ear and called Cow-Horse.

"The person you dialed does not want to take your call."

The ruthless response comes to mind.

If it was normal, he might hang up the phone sensibly.

Until now, all he wants to do is scold his mother.

"Boss, did you know that Bad-Luck Coffee wants to take face as a tip?"

"I know."

The voice of Cow-Horse finally sounded.

Lazy, probably just finished exercising.

"Then why the hell do you want me to buy you coffee?"

Liu Zheng finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Who are you with? Wait, your boy will not have any good juice to eat when he comes back."

Cow-Horse threatened.

"Then I have to come back."

He sneered.

The shop assistants around him came closer, almost touching his face.

"As for that? It's just losing your face. It's a big deal to others, but to you, what's the difference from losing a hair?"

Cow-Horse said nonchalantly.

"Huh?"

Liu Zheng felt that he had heard wrongly.

"If they want face, they just take it off. What are you afraid of? It takes just a fart to make you grow back."

Cow-Horse said.

"Are you telling the truth?"

He had some doubts.

"Nonsense. If I really want you to die, it's not now. Otherwise, why would my boss let me go on vacation if I'm the only one?"

Cow-Horse is impatient.

Liu Zheng After thinking about it, this is indeed the truth.

His death here will not do Cow-Horse any good.

It can't even get a piece of meat.

"I'll tip you."

Liu Zheng shouted loudly.

The chanting-like voice stopped instantly.

All the clerks looked down at Liu Zheng, with some disappointment in their eyes.

"Then please sit over here."

said the clerk who cashed him out.

He led Liu Zheng to a lift chair and sat down.

"What is this for?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"This is our store's high-end service, specially designed for VIPs like you who make large orders and are willing to tip."

The clerk pressed a button and the lift chair immediately transformed into a recliner.

There were also more than a dozen handcuffs sprouting from the seat, holding him firmly in place.

"The first service is eye scratching."

The clerk turned his finger, and a sharp blade flew across his fingertips.

Then, he opened Liu Zheng's eyeball.
