Chapter 753: Chapter 523 Liu Zheng, You Big Scumbag!_2

The woman continued to walk forward, but her figure grew smaller and smaller, and by the time she reached Liu Zheng, only an ember was left, drifting onto the Insect Killing Voodoo Dagger.

Liu Zheng felt a burning sensation on his hand, and a charred spot appeared on the white bone blade.

"This is..."

He opened the item description and found some changes on the panel of the Insect Killing Voodoo Dagger.

"Name: Insect Killing Voodoo Dagger (Exalted)"

"Type: Equipment"

"Quality: Excellent"

"Effect One: Deals 200% damage to ’Alien Insects’; after killing one ’Alien Insect,’ the damage increases by 10%, up to a maximum of 1000%. If no ’Alien Insect’ is killed for more than five minutes, the damage increase effect resets."

"Effect Two: Once equipped, cannot be removed until an ’Alien Insect’ is killed, and reduces player’s All Attributes by 1 point per minute."

"Effect Three: After killing enough Alien Insects, the Insect Killing Voodoo Dagger will exalt to Perfect quality. Current progress: 10%."

"Note: Kill insects! Kill insects! Kill insects!"

"Can it be brought out of the instance: Yes"

"Good stuff."

Blowing up the entire 11th floor and taking out a director only progressed the bar by 10%, meaning he’d have to blow up 9 more 11th floors.

Imagine Peacock’s expression after finding out 11 office buildings were blown up simultaneously—Liu Zheng felt a bit of chill down his spine.

City Hall probably couldn’t protect him.

Forget it, Perfect equipment is precious, but life is even more so.

As for Effect Two changing from reducing the Spiritual Attribute to reducing All Attributes, it doesn’t really matter since he doesn’t use it when not killing insects.

Thinking this way, Liu Zheng put the Insect Killing Dagger into the system space.

Besides, he realized that the Alien Insects’ strengths were generally not very notable.

When Liu Zheng only had the Legendary Armor for show, these bugs could somewhat threaten him. Now, unless they swarm, they’re just here to help him progress the bar.

Stepping into the elevator, unsurprisingly yet predictably, what awaited him was still that 16-year-old elevator operator who didn’t know how to put on makeup.

"Surprised?"

The elevator operator, holding her wound, asked with her tear-streaked eyes, her face’s makeup washed into streaks.

"Fucking surprised."

Liu Zheng feigned a shocked expression.

"Hmph, your acting is so over-the-top."

The elevator operator pouted.

"You don’t get it. This is called Beast acting."

"A sheep isn’t a wild animal, how does it become a beast?"

The elevator operator pretended to argue.

"Firstly, I’m a mountain goat, wild. Secondly, I eat meat. So, I equal Beast, conclusion valid."

He earnestly explained.

"You’re just spouting nonsense. Let’s see who falls for it."

The elevator operator made a silly face at him.

With her already unbearable makeup, it indeed had quite a startling effect.

"Liu Zheng talking nonsense, those willing will fall for it."

Liu Zheng chuckled.

After a few more exchanges, the elevator reached the 1st floor.

"If someone gives you trouble, just give me up. Then tell them, threatening you is useless, but if they vent their anger on you, I promise to blow their company to bankruptcy."

He advised the elevator operator.

"Got it. You’re just going to send me off like this?"

The elevator operator said.

"If you want something, just say it, as long as it’s within my ability."

Liu Zheng responded kindly.

"You can definitely do this. Because, I just want a kiss. You don’t think I’m ugly now, do you?"

The elevator operator questioned skeptically.

"Of course not. Then close your eyes."

He smiled.

"Better not run when I close my eyes, okay?"

The elevator operator warned cautiously.

"Of course I won’t, I’m not one to desert at the last moment."

He expressed earnestly.

"But you do look like a jerk."

The elevator operator murmured, yet still tilted her head and closed her eyes, looking expectant.

"Ready?"

Liu Zheng asked while stealthily extending a feeler to press the door open button.

"Mhm!"

The elevator operator excitedly replied.

"Here it comes!"

He gave a quick peck on her forehead and then swiftly slipped out of the elevator, not forgetting to press the close button on his way out.

"Liu Zheng, you jerk!"

The elevator doors shut, trapping the elevator operator’s cry inside.

"Does everyone already know about me being a jerk? Oh, how troublesome."

He shook his head feignedly, heading towards the lobby.

Just stepped out of the elevator when a riot baton was swung at his head.

Liu Zheng raised the rusty knife to block the baton, looking closely, the attacker was the old security guard.

"Are you seeking death?"

His face turned cold.

"You damned delivery man, don’t be so arrogant. Don’t think I don’t know what you’ve done, just wait a few more minutes and the alarm system will respond, by then everyone will swarm over, and no matter how skilled you are, you won’t escape."

"Don’t think you can defeat me and escape either, even with my injured right leg, no group of ten young men can get close to me in a fight."

The old security guard said righteously.

"I’m just saying, your acting is even more over-the-top than mine."

Liu Zheng mocked while whipping the old guard’s right leg.

"Ah!"

The old security guard screamed, falling to the ground, convulsing in pain like a pig being electrocuted.

"You’re serious, little brother?"

He whispered in complaint.

"Being serious enough makes it real. Your leg needs treatment too, go to the ’Imhotep’ Clinic, charge the fee to my account."

Liu Zheng suggested.

"You’re loyal, brother. Ah! I’m dead."

The old security guard fainted from the pain.

"I feel like opening an acting class for workers might work."

He smirked, stepping over the old security guard’s body, even rubbing his shoe on him.

"Pfft!"

The old security guard spat out a mouthful of blood in his unconsciousness, unclear if he bit his tongue.

Exiting the Bright Center, Liu Zheng immediately felt a sense of openness, and the smell of gunpowder in his nose dissipated.

This wasn’t just psychological; under the authoritative rule of City Hall, even departments like the Sanitation Department wielded strong enforcement powers.

At least in the new district, Metropolis’s urban appearance could easily win a civilized city ranking, comparable if not exceeding the civilized societies imagined in ’Reader’ and ’Yilin’.

"Hello?"

He dialed Wang Manni’s number.

Now armed with the post-battle cigarette for a Legendary delivery man, he wasn’t in such a rush to return to the restaurant.

"Did you finish the delivery, delivery man?"

Wang Manni asked excitedly.

"Complete the assignment, and I’m described as ’finishing the delivery,’ you guys are responsible for my infamous reputation."

Liu Zheng retorted unhappily.

"Hehe, I’ll report to the company right away, they’ll find a way to verify your results."

Wang Manni said.

"No rush. About that undercover named Shui Sishisan, is his family in the company’s hands?"

He asked.

"I’m not sure, but given the company’s style, they’d surely control the undercover’s family."

Wang Manni stated frankly.

"Alright, tell the company that none of his parents, girlfriend, or daughter—his whole family of four—can be missing. A single hair missing, and I’ll kill a company executive; one person missing, and I’ll blow up a company building."

"No matter where Green Culture moves, even if to the City Hall building, they can’t escape. I said it."

Liu Zheng declared.

"Alright, I’ll inform the company right away."

Wang Manni hung up, and he nodded, running towards the restaurant.

Before he could reach the restaurant, Wang Manni called back.

"The company says, this is their internal matter; you’re overstepping."

She stated bluntly.

"As if helping them eliminate competitors wasn’t an external matter. If they don’t respect my words, I’ll contact City Hall and trade my credit for eradicating the Round God Sect for a joint law enforcement, to slaughter Green Culture."

Liu Zheng stated fiercely.

"Alright, I’ll inform them again."

Wang Manni disconnected the call, and he nodded before running towards the restaurant.
