The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?

Chapter 344: Chapter 321 Liu Zheng: Father-in-law Lao Deng, this time I need 1 ton of fish.

"Cough, I’ve used it all up."

Liu Zheng said somewhat awkwardly.

It wasn’t intentional, but turning someone’s recyclables into one-off items was indeed somewhat unscrupulous.

"Great, the next time I pray, I’m going to be ’ra’ punished again."

Doctor Nile wailed.

The glory of "Ra" was already incomplete, and now a bit more was missing. Even though it was just a tiny part, it was enough to cause heartache.

"No way, tell ’Ra’ it was my fault, let Him punish me. Wait, why ’again’?"

Liu Zheng offered loyally.

"Forget it, you’re neither a descendant of ’Ra’ nor a follower, how could it affect you?"

Doctor Nile said irritably.

"Ahaha, is there a way to make up for it?"

He scratched his head and asked.

"There is, but it’s a hassle. Forget it, don’t ask now, you’ve got enough on your plate already. We’ll talk about it later."

Doctor Nile shook his head.

"Alright. When you have time, I can take you to the sewer now and get that hemorrhoid operation done."

Liu Zheng said.

He wanted to get everything done while he had one day off, so they wouldn’t have to pay for delivery with extra charges.

"Okay. Wait here for a bit, I’m going to get my stuff."

Doctor Nile thought about it and then nodded.

"By the way, whose grass mat is that?"

Liu Zheng pointed to the papyrus mat in the corner and asked.

"Oh, that’s specially for Niu Ma, I forgot to have Xiao Mei put it away."

Doctor Nile said.

"Alright then, I’ll just sit over there and wait."

He sat down on it with a laugh, even letting out a fart.

"Aren’t you afraid I’ll tell it, you sat in its spot?"

Doctor Nile said speechlessly.

"Afraid of what? A little brother who doesn’t want to move up isn’t a good little brother. I’ve even sprawled on its own pile of grass right in front of it."

Liu Zheng said proudly.

"...It’s only because Niu Ma has a good temper. If it were me, you’d have been disassembled for parts to make medicine by now."

Doctor Nile shook his head and walked into the back room.

Xiao Mei brought tea and pastries, but before they could have a few words, he called her back in.

Although Niu Ma had promised to share the profits later, arranging afterlife matters was clearly more important than a wager.

"Everything’s ready; let’s go."

After a long while, Doctor Nile finally came out.

"Are you going to have hemorrhoids cut or your head?"

Liu Zheng teased.

Doctor Nile had transformed into a warrior dressed with a Gem Curved Knife and golden armor in hand.

"It’s all the same, my knives are famously quick at cutting heads or hemorrhoids."

Doctor Nile tapped the curved knife, proudly declaring.

In his early years, he had stood out among the priests with exceptional medical skills.

"Becoming your enemy would truly be an unfortunate matter."

Liu Zheng commented sarcastically.

Nobody would want to be touched by a knife that had just been used for hemorrhoids; who knows if he washed it afterward?

"You’re just picky, let’s go."

Doctor Nile urged.

"Wait, I need to call the Fisherman first."

Liu Zheng gestured with his tentacle.

Without the Fisherman’s assistance, who knew what they would encounter down there.

Though Doctor Nile seemed capable enough, his abilities were just for show.

His system space was currently empty, so it was best to be cautious.

"You really came back, kid."

When the Fisherman saw the number, he was quite shocked too.

He hadn’t expected someone would return to Metropolis so soon after having the chance to leave.

"So many people need me to come back, I never let my friends down."

Liu Zheng said.

"Who’s your friend, kid?"

The Fisherman spat out.

"Of course, you’re not my friend, dear father-in-law~"

He said dragging out the words.

"If you want to die, I can fulfill that wish right now. Hmm? You used my finger?"

The Fisherman sensed it and said.

"Not just your finger, this trip has practically bankrupted me."

Liu Zheng sighed.

Years of hard work, and back to square one in an instance.

Well, maybe that was an exaggeration, but the sentiment was roughly the same.

"Serves you right. What’s the call for? And don’t even think about getting compensation from me."

The Fisherman warned.

"Look at how stingy you are. With our relationship, it would only be right for you to preemptively give me a few fish ponds as a dowry."

"I’m going to hang up now."

The Fisherman said coldly.

"Pfft, no wonder the sea girl doesn’t care to deal with you. Such a sour attitude."

Before the Fisherman had a chance to explode, Liu Zheng finally got to the point.

"Two things. First, I’m going to accompany Doctor Nile to perform surgery in the sewer. Second, prepare some fish for me, the quality doesn’t have to be too good, but I need a good quantity."

"How much?"

The Fisherman asked.

"Let’s start with a ton,"

he said.

"Get out!"

The Fisherman’s roar startled Doctor Nile on the side.

"No need to curse, so loud you’ll rupture my eardrum."

Liu Zheng complained, holding his earlobe.

"Besides, you can regrow it. Do you even understand what a ton of sewer fish represents? Your restaurant couldn’t take in that much in a year."

The Fisherman shouted.

"The restaurant gets high-quality fish raised by you, I don’t need that good—just find some mixed fish in the river for me."

He bargained.

"Not even that. Thirty fish, take it or leave it."

The Fisherman said gruffly.
