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

Chapter 763: Chapter 527: The chicken is precious, the eggs are even more valuable

"Note: May all lovers in the world die a horrible death!"

"Can it be taken out of instance: Yes"

"As expected, it’s not something good."

Liu Zheng sighed.

A storage space of ten cubic meters without restrictions on item types is nice, but the weight being borne by the player is quite troublesome.

Ten cubic meters of water already weigh ten tons, and it’ll only get heavier with food or metal.

His attributes are extraordinary right now, but not at the level of Superman. Carrying a ton of stuff severely affects his movement, let alone over ten tons.

And not to mention that second effect with the huge pitfall.

"System, what level of contact qualifies as intimate?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Contact with human or humanoid entities is judged based on the laws and regulations of the player’s real world, while contact with non-humanoid or non-living entities is judged based on whether it induces sexual arousal or pleasure."

The system explained.

"What if I drank some aphrodisiac or something, and even a strand of hair touch would arouse me?"

He asked again.

"It doesn’t count; the system will exclude other interfering factors when making a judgment."

The system replied.

"That’s good."

Liu Zheng nodded his head.

But even so, that second effect is still a huge pitfall.

With so many ladies around him, although he keeps himself pure, it’s because he can hold back, not because he doesn’t feel it.

Especially those like the nightingale, Jinzi, and Wang Manni, who tend to stick close; they’re the root of all evil.

Although Liu Zheng can store the pouch in the system space first, how can you fish by the river often without any empty runs?

If he forgets one day, the things painstakingly acquired would vanish into thin air.

"Can this be repaired?"

He asked the Box Weaving Spider.

"If it could be repaired, would I still let it sit idle?"

The Box Weaving Spider rolled its eyes at him.

Storage equipment isn’t something you find everywhere; it’s quite precious even among the upper class, gifted only on major occasions like births, coming of age, or weddings.

"Wasn’t this thing made by you? What, do you also have a past you’d rather forget?"

Liu Zheng teased.

"I made it, but it wasn’t for my own use. It involves client privacy, so I can’t tell you."

The Box Weaving Spider shook its head.

"Alright. Really no solution?"

He asked unwillingly.

"There is. My brother, the Artisan Weaver Spider, is our clan’s most talented weaver in hundreds of years. If it’s him, maybe there’s a way. But since going to the sea, there’s been no news of him, and we’ve had no response from our attempts to contact him."

The Box Weaving Spider replied.

"A weaving spider, going to the sea? For what?"

Liu Zheng wondered.

"Because it fell in love with a hermit crab when visiting an ocean park, and when the crab’s contract ended, it returned to the sea, so my uncle went after it."

The Box Weaving Spider said.

"Hmm..."

He didn’t know what expression to use in response, only thinking this was indeed Metropolis.

"If you can help bring it back, not only can the pouch be repaired; our Spider Clan will owe you a big favor too."

"Then, you can buy limited items like Spirit Silk freely, and even my incompetent niece will be at your command, making her a strong ally in the Bloody Restaurant."

The Box Weaving Spider started painting a rosy picture for him.

A functional staff member like Weaving Spider Lady is a whole department on her own, and she can travel between departments, making it very convenient to deliver information and supplies.

"The offer is large and tempting, but unfortunately, my appetite isn’t that big."

Liu Zheng said regretfully.

He hasn’t even figured out Metropolis yet, let alone going to the sea.

Moreover, the powerful people who stamped him would likely not allow him to leave their control.

"No matter, after all, you’re not the only person we’ve entrusted with this task. Here."

The Box Weaving Spider rolled out a ball of thread from the box.

"Use it the same way as the one given to you by Weaving Spider Lady, but this has a limited range; it only works when the Artisan Weaver Spider is within three kilometers."

"Alright then."

Liu Zheng shrugged, picked up the thread ball, and put it in his pocket.

"And this too."

The Box Weaving Spider threw out a pair of pants as thin as cicada wings from the box.

"Our Spider Clan doesn’t easily make friends, but since we’ve recognized you as a friend, I must give you a gift to commemorate our friendship."

It spoke with a slightly reluctant tone.

Liu Zheng picked up the open-crotch pants, feeling they looked a lot like stockings.

"Name: Super Premium Level Autumn Pants"

"Type: Gear"

"Quality: Excellent"

"Effect 1: Provides comprehensive enhancement to the player’s lower limbs, excluding the lower body."

"Effect 2: When the player’s lower body is attacked, there’s a slight chance of All Attributes increasing by 1 point, up to 20 points, lasting for ten minutes."

"Note: You think this is my weakness, but actually, this is my strength~"

"Can it be taken out of instance: Yes"

"What ’meow’ are you talking about! It’s excluded, so what kind of strength is that?!"

He couldn’t help but vent.

"You give this kind of thing as a gift for a friend? Which friend could withstand such a test?"

He questioned the Box Weaving Spider.

"It might not be suitable for others, but isn’t it a match made in heaven for you?"

The Box Weaving Spider retorted.

"Thanks, but I really don’t want this kind of match made in heaven."

Liu Zheng squinted his eyes and said.

Not to mention the damaging and humiliating nature of being hit in the lower body, which normal enemy would keep targeting his lower body anyway?

Unless he gets another item that forces the opponent to attack his lower body to pair with it.

"Really? You can also activate the effects by attacking yourself, you know."

The Box Weaving Spider said.

"Even if that’s the case..."

"System, is what it’s saying true?"

Liu Zheng asked in his mind.

"Yes, it’s true."

The system replied.

"Hmm..."

He fell into deep thought.

"Fine, fine, I’ll wear it!"

He took off his pants in front of the Box Weaving Spider and put on the autumn pants.

So be it, being pecked by the chicken or beaten by the enemy won’t be fatal.

As the saying goes, ’Eggs are precious; the rooster is more valuable. If it’s for attributes, both can be sacrificed.’

"Give it to me."

The Box Weaving Spider extended a foreleg.

"Give you what?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Don’t you humans understand reciprocity? Where’s my gift?"

The Box Weaving Spider waved its foreleg.

"Uh..."

He scratched his head, feeling a bit troubled.

The Box Weaving Spider was making a good point, and Liu Zheng found himself without a counter-argument.

But everything he had was useful, and he couldn’t think of what to give the Box Weaving Spider.

"Huh?"

It seems not everything is useful.

"Here, take this."

Liu Zheng took out the "Mysterious Teleportation Ring" and slipped it onto the Box Weaving Spider’s foreleg.

"You humans give such things as gifts? Is it to trade friends faster?"

The Box Weaving Spider said, speechless.

"Well, what you gave wasn’t much better. Let’s just leave it at that; no one should be disliked."

He waved his hand.

"Humph. Goodbye."

The Box Weaving Spider retracted into its box and was about to close the lid.

"Hey, we were just exchanging tokens of friendship. Now, isn’t it rude to rush someone out?"

Liu Zheng hollered.

"Fine, stay and have dinner before you go. I’ll lock the door, and whoever leaves is a loser."

The Box Weaving Spider sneered.

"But when it comes down to it, if friendship lasts long, you don’t need to stay for dinner,"

He changed his tone.

"Eh, just leave after you eat dinner,"

The Box Weaving Spider retreated back into the box, ready to shut the door.

"Is this the new trend for going out in Metropolis?"

Liu Zheng said as he climbed into the sports car.

"Never mind, I better get going now or I’ll be late."

He climbed into the sports car and sped off, revving the engine and wildly turning the steering wheel as he raced off into the night toward Rose Street.
