Chapter 762: Chapter 527: The chicken is precious, the eggs are even more valuable

"Open the door, your takeout is here."

Liu Zheng roughly pushed aside the silk threads at the entrance of the cave.

"Chirp chirp?"

A puzzled sound came from inside the cave.

"Stop pretending, it’s me. Quickly open the door."

"You’re the one pretending. The door was never closed."

The Box Weaving Spider said.

"Haha, just trying to be polite."

He pushed aside the spider silk and walked into the Silk Cave.

"Have you finally brought the bugs this time?"

In the darkness, a pair of crimson eyes stared closely at him.

"I brought them."

Liu Zheng opened the Legendary Takeout Box, and the aroma of insect meat wafted out, teasing the Box Weaving Spider’s senses.

"Chirp chirp!"

The Box Weaving Spider squealed excitedly and rushed towards him like a bumper car.

"Stop."

Liu Zheng blocked it with a tentacle and closed the Legendary Takeout Box.

"Human, what do you mean?"

The Box Weaving Spider said discontentedly.

"Will you turn on the lights for me now?"

He asked.

"Why should I?"

"Because the meat is in my hands, and you want to eat it."

Liu Zheng said calmly.

"Hmph. That’s why I don’t like dealing with you humans."

The Box Weaving Spider complained.

The next second, a super luxurious crystal chandelier lit up the entire Silk Cave.

"Is that better?"

The Box Weaving Spider said begrudgingly.

"That’s more like it. It’s not like we’re doing something shady, why trade in the dark?"

He nodded with satisfaction.

"Stop wasting time, just give me my insect meat."

The Box Weaving Spider urged.

"Alright, alright."

Liu Zheng took down the Legendary Takeout Box and removed all the Alien Insect Meat from inside.

"Woohoo~"

The Box Weaving Spider cheered, shooting out strands of spider silk to pull the Alien Insect Meat into the box.

"Crunch crunch!"

"Munch munch!"

"Slurp slurp!"

It pulled while making chewing and eating noises.

"Eat slower, no one’s fighting you for it."

Liu Zheng watched it like he was watching a Labrador.

It’s said this breed has a genetic defect, making it hard to feel full, so they’re especially crazy about food, known as "Labrador Pig."

"This time (munch munch) the meat you brought (munch munch) tastes so much better than last time (munch munch)."

The Box Weaving Spider asked.

"See this knife? Seven Deadly Sins, it’s as prestigious in the culinary world as your spider silk is in the textile world."

He shook the rusty knife in his hand.

"I specially used this knife to cut the meat for you. How could it not taste good?"

"In the whole Metropolis, if you can find better-tasting insect meat than this, I’ll chop my head off for you."

Liu Zheng said confidently.

Alien Insect Meat itself is top-quality among insect meats, and being upgraded by ’Seven Deadly Sins·Anger,’ its taste is not much inferior to the ’Whole Insect’ given to the Weaving Spider Lady, and it’s also filling.

Of course, even if the Box Weaving Spider really found it, it wouldn’t matter.

It’s just a head; if the big one can’t be chopped off, wouldn’t a smaller one do?

After all, he wasn’t from Britain, if chopped off, it can grow back freely.

"Is that all?"

The Box Weaving Spider asked.

"That’s it. I don’t have storage equipment, and those insects won’t just stand there waiting for me to kill one batch after another."

Liu Zheng shrugged.

"Hmph, human, don’t think I don’t know what you’re implying."

The Box Weaving Spider snorted.

"Am I implying? I’m stating it outright. With storage equipment, next time I can get more meat, and you can enjoy eating even more, right?"

"And not just for yourself, you can share it with other Weaving Spiders. No matter how socially awkward you are, you can’t completely ignore spider-to-spider relations, can you?"

He said.

"...I do have an extra storage equipment, but I can’t just give it to you for free."

The Box Weaving Spider paused its eating, thought for a moment, and said.

"I can buy it with money."

Liu Zheng said without hesitation.

It’s a bargain to buy storage equipment usable in future instances with currency from this instance.

Of course, if it can’t be taken out of the instance, it’s a bit of a scam.

"The value of such an item can’t just be measured by money. Besides, I don’t lack money."

The Box Weaving Spider shook its head.

"I also have a portable small treasury, which is storage equipment that can hold about a cubic meter of general equivalent items. How about trading it with you for bartering?"

He had a flash of inspiration.

Currency can be placed in system space, with no upper limit.

So the portable small treasury isn’t very meaningful to him and can be used for exchange.

"Um... fine, top it up with another two hundred thousand, and both the spirit silk and storage equipment are yours."

The Box Weaving Spider pondered for a moment and said.

This time’s quality of Alien Insect Meat indeed exceeded its expectations, so the Box Weaving Spider had to invest a bit to retain Liu Zheng as its sole supplier.

"No problem."

Liu Zheng, fearing it might change its mind, quickly counted two hundred thousand and placed it in front of it.

"Here, this item has a significant flaw, but it still compensates for the value of your stuff."

The Box Weaving Spider pushed a palm-sized pouch out of the box.

On the white pouch, various colored silk threads embroidered a pattern of mandarin ducks frolicking in water, but the heads of the ducks had been forcibly gouged out, and the holes were filled with black scabs.

"Oh my, this doesn’t look like anything good."

He picked up the pouch with a frown, and the item description immediately popped up.

"Name: Headless Mandarin Duck Pouch"

"Type: Equipment"

"Quality: Excellent"

"Effect 1: Can store about ten cubic meters of items, but the weight of the items must be borne by the player."

"Effect 2: When in use, one must not have any intimate contact with a ’person,’ or all stored items will be destroyed, and the storage space will permanently shrink by one cubic meter."
